The subject is amply covered by the Kargil war page. People interested in the headline can add it there. Kautilya3 ( talk) 21:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC) reply


This information satisfies the criteria as an independent topic.

Continuing threat of nuclear war between India and Pakistan is the strongest fact to support this topic.

The purpose of Wikipedia is to provide facts to general public.

The topic "Kashmir - the most dangerous place in the world" was the opinion of President Bill Clinton. However, his opinion was supported by the facts presented in a book, “Engaging India: Diplomacy, Democracy and the Bomb” by former US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott.

This book is praised by prestigious institutions such as Yale and Foreign Affairs ( http://www.foreignaffairs.com). Maakhter ( talk) 10:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Here is another statement. Need more statements?

US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage said, “there are a lot of other dangerous parts in the world. India and Pakistan over Kashmir comes to mind”Armitage also described Kashmir as “most dangerous place in the world” during his speech in Sydney in 2003.

Maakhter, all those references and statements combined together make point for a single statement in the Kashmir article pointing out that the region has been claimed to be dangerous. An article with such a title will not make something you will see in an encyclopedia. News and encyclopedic articles differ in their nature. -- lTopGunl ( talk) 00:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC) reply

The name of a league does not necessarily reflect reality. Just as an example, the fourth division of French football is semi-pro despite being called Championnat de France amateur. Without reliable sources confirming that the Liga Nacional is in fact fully pro, the claim that it is carries no weight. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 16:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Comment Given the claim in the name that it is professional then I would suppose the league to be professional unless proof otherwise could be shown. Above, fully professional league was quoted as evidence despite the list itself stating that it is incomplete. Anyway, all of this is moot because, putting the league's article title into google revealed a claim that the league is in fact professional. I admit it is the leagues own website and it is in Spanish (I think), but it clearly states that the league is professional. So the objection that this person has not played in a professional football league no longer stands, unless you can show evidence to the contrary. Op47 ( talk) 19:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply
There are a number of issues with this. First, the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and by extension on the editor wishing to show notability via the criteria of WP:NFOOTY as a matter of textual interpretation, regardless of the particular naming conventions of any league. The name of a league is essentially treated as an unreliable source. The incompleteness of WP:FPL is not relevant for these same reasons. It does not matter whether the absence of a league from the list is due to an absence of professionalism or an absence of sources; both are required to demonstrate notability under WP:NFOOTY. The other issue is that unqualified the word professional to describe a league is not sufficiently precise to demonstrate that WP:NFOOTY is met, as the guideline requires that a footballer have played in a fully professional league (emphasis mine). While there is no doubt that the there is some degree of professionalism in the Liga Nacional, there is nothing to indicate that the league is in fact fully professional.

Delete - All though I don't doubt the authors good intentions, this article is just made up by them with no references to sources not based on their own opinion.

  • QLink is an invented term by the author
  • As all the references are just about the articles authors opinion this is basically a single source article.
  • The text may mislead people to think this is actually related to quantum security - rather than just 'inspired' by the ideas of quantum theory.
  • The article makes it sound like this is a new idea but its been about for a while: for instance www.destructingmessage.com (copyright date says 2006).
  • The article makes it sound way more safe than it is failing to mention:
  • No detection mechanisms for Man-in-the-middle attacks
  • The message could be just intercepted and read by anyone else
  • The 'QLink' server could be compromised or maliciously run
  • The articles suggests this would be suitable for sending "credit card information, passwords, confidential information", and also for national security. I would doubt you would find any security professional who would say this was (as described) suitable for any of these. In fact I would hope they would all say it should never be used for such things.

As I said on its Talkpage, I tried finding what the minimum notability needed for editors-in-chief of big magazine was and couldn't find really a guideline. I was working on a related article and thought it was pretty strange that the top position holder of a magazine did not have an article, being as how he served for 6 years in this position, was a judge on a few world-wide film competitions and got famous directors such as Steven Spielberg to guest-edit. Previous editors-in-cheif of the same magazine have an article, and other magazine's have articles for their top ranking holders. Having said that, as I don't know enough about notability of people in this position, I'm not going to argue a position either way.

Not notable. This is more a cotrack to advertise his inventions than it is a biography. Haberkern lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. the large amount of reference do not contain any depth of independent coverage about him. Most are misused, not verifying the text they follow. A shill has written their preferred text and then thrown in partly related references to fake verification and make him look good. Haberkern did not win the award claimed. This award (which is not major and one of a plethora the professional development program give out) was won by someone else, as was second and third.

Original poster here
Schmidt above has pulled together a lot of new information (well, new to me) about the film and done lots of stuff with templates (or whatever they're called). The film's page is now thoroughly up to the standards of most film articles and the "Deletion" flag should be lifted.
Re OddBodz belief that it was not a notable film - since it came to my attention while watching a TV documentary titled "Sex and the Silver Screen", which spent about 5 of 55 minutes on the film, I don't think Oddbodz's opinion is universally shared.
I was very surprised that a film of such prominence did not have a Wikipedia page. Aidan Karley ( talk) 10:46, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Appreciations, Aidan. There are lots of topics that do not (yet) have Wikipedia entries... but then it is self-admittedly an unfinished work in progress. Unless the nominator chooses to withdraw, or unless it is so obvious that the topic will not be deleted and the discussion then closed by an uninvolved editor per WP:SNOW and WP:OUTCOMES, an AFD discussion usually runs for 7 days. If your comment is intended (likely) as a "keep", you can simply head it with that word emboldened. Cheers. Schmidt, Michael Q. 11:20, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply
@ Erik: Well, to be fair, I, a woman would be best (see English film poster). But as we're Anglifying a non-English title, I felt this would look most proper per WP:NCF and WP:ENGLISH. Of course, the original Jeg - en kvinde is far more searchable than the English. I just wished to have whatever here be most searchable and with fewer false positives that the current title. We DO need that coma though. Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:29, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. This is a bit complicated. At first glance, "keep" votes outnumber "delete" votes 8 to 4 (counting the IPs obvious intent to say "keep"), but the delete votes do present solid rationales (on average stronger than the keep votes), some which were addressed and others that were not. This forces me to close a qualified "No consensus". I would recommend shoring up the article's sourcing, as another AFD in 6 months is a real possibility. Dennis - 14:02, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I strongly disagree with all of the above "keep" !votes, none of which, in my opinion, is even slightly based in policy. The "West-European/US oriented selective databases" certainly do not exclude journals in other languages and contain journals publishing in Japanese, Chinese, and, indeed, also Russian. The own national citation index ( Russian Science Citation Index) is not selective at all. Accepting indexing of journals in the RSCI would actually create a cultural bias: English-language journals need to be included in a selective database, but Russian-language journals only need to be included in the RSCI. The journal under discussion here has no impact whatsoever. Searching Google Scholar (not using the above link containing the dab) under its English title gives a grand total of 3 cites. Searching for its Russian title lists a few hundred articles published in this journal (showing, by the way, that GS indexed journals in Russian), none of which has been cited, not even in Russian journals. In short, we have no sources discussing this journal (and for those claiming there is a cultural bias at work here, I would like to remind everybody here that sources in Russian are perfectly acceptable), we have no inclusion in databases that are even remotely selective, and we have no evidence that this journal has any significant impact. I fail to see how anybody can argue that this journal is notable. -- Randykitty ( talk) 18:45, 12 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Not dicussing would be detrimental to the process and eventually to the project. -- Randykitty ( talk) 08:24, 19 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per this section in WP:NJournals; "Independent, third-party sources must exist for every topic that receives its own article on Wikipedia, without exception (see Wikipedia:Verifiability: 'If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.')." Origamite 12:22, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
that policy, which is entirely correct, is about verifiability, not notability, and requires only reliable sourcing, not reliable sourcing sufficiently substantial to establish notability under the GNG. We have never relied on the GNG for academic journals. Verifiability is met by Ulrich's. DGG ( talk ) 17:50, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Sorry, but as far as I can see from the VAK website, the strict criteria consist of being peer-reviewed, having a website and editorial board, having an address, etc. There's nothing that indicates any stricter than that. Could you perhaps provide a link that shows there is more selectivity? -- Randykitty ( talk) 15:52, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • From editor. The link with VAK's rules is [15]. Editors of Russian journals dream of including their publication in the VAK's list but meeting criteria doesn't mean that they will be included. VAK has its own selection policy based on commission experts' opinions. The selection process is not clear enough but it is a selection process. The total number of Russian scientific publications is 10028 while the VAK's list contains only 2269. 66.56.43.231 ( talk) 03:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • I had already seen that document, but unfortunately my Russian is not good enough to read it and it is not in a form acceptable by Google Translate. However, over 2000 journals from Russia alone does not strike me as very restrictive, comparing that with WoS or even (the much less selective) Scopus, which both cover the whole world. -- Randykitty ( talk) 10:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment This is my breakdown. DGG, Wikicology, Cirt, James500 and Rotten Regard think that the RSCI is enough. Karlhard asserts that it meets the GNG. 73.43.243.35, 184.188.97.130, and 66.56.43.231 say that the other journals are selective, which Randykitty directly disagrees with. Zambelo was trolling and wikistalking Randykitty. Randykitty and AioftheStorm say that the RSCI is not selective, and that no reliable sources mention this journal. I agree with Randykitty, and say that without sources, notability can't be established. Origamite 01:48, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply

  • It really is not enough to just say "meets Notability", you will also need to explain how it meets that. What sources do you consider sufficiently in-depth here? Strangely, I get just 35 Ghits (and only 13.9 million without the ""), but, in any case, numbers of Ghits are really no measure of notability. -- Randykitty ( talk) 09:54, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Not a single claim made in the article on this non-notable journal is backed by a reliable source and it's evident that the reason for that is the absence of reliable sources that we could use.

  • Delete. The discussion about what kind of database inclusion is required is irrelevant and misleading. Per WP:GNG, what we require for inclusion is substantial coverage in reliable sources, because otherwise we have nothing to base our article on, and such coverage is not attested here.  Sandstein  10:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply

However, WP:NSPORT explicitly excludes youth football as a source of notability, and since his Europa League caps were in the qualifying rounds they do not confer notability either.

Thanks for the assumption of good faith... The Macedonian top flight is in fact not fully professional (see WP:FPL) and during his stint for FK Rad (which is now over by the way) he did not play even a single match for them. WP:NSPORT explicitly says that it only applies to those footballers who have played actual matches in fully pro leagues. He has not. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 15:53, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
I apologize, as I didn't notice that he hasn't played any caps for Rad, and you didn't mention that in the nom, so I'm striking the offending parts of my comment. However, Rabotnički is a fully pro club and FK Metalurg Skopje ended 2nd and 3rd in the league while Bogdanović played for them. I suppose that makes him borderline notable, along with his youth record and Euro league qualifiers. (Judging from [17]. he now plays for FK Teteks Tetovo).

  • Keep The article is a bit confusing and could use a better distribution of references throughout the text. If the original author has more, it would be good for them to be added. The section on Freemasonry comes a bit abruptly in the story, and more should probably be said about the person who is subject of the article prior to introducing a general statement on Freemasonry. Other than that, you cannot LaMona ( talk) 02:35, 27 October 2014 (UTC) expect many more references about something that took place in 1854. The fact that there are any at all is notable. I'm game to do some editing, but have no access to the resources, so would need the help of the original author. reply

Guess what? This list was deleted once before in 2006, and was re-created earlier this year. While it has a slightly longer lead than the deleted versions, I feel the 2006 deletion nomination language still applies:

  • Keep. That the nominator "can't see the point" is not a reason for deletion, nor is the complaint that the list could be improved through better organization (e.g. by country). Doughnut shops, and specifically lists of doughnut shops, have been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources, e.g. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. Pburka ( talk) 01:52, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but I think the list would be of far more value if it was in an expanded table form with proper referencing for each list item - location, date of establishment, etc. Of course those things are available in each article and each article is in the category so the suggestion the category is duplicated is true to an extent. But as an aid to readers I think it has some value. Stlwart 111 02:15, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
I agree. Founding dates and locations would take it above the category level. That way readers could find the articles that interested them.

You'll find that's the case with a lot of lists.

Stlwart 111 05:34, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep At the time of the first deletion (before my time here) WP policy seemed to be that if a list and a category provided the same information the list was not needed. This is still the case here, but policy has changed so that now articles like this are kept. I agree with the original policy, but that is not a reason to delete this list. It is in accord with current policy, regardless of the fact that by clicking on the category you get the exact same thing. Borock ( talk) 03:31, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply

    • On what basis would you be questioning my motivation, chief? You might like to try to assume good faith, given your account was apparently created purely to defend this article. Earlier, some IP troll suggested I was a "chef", which obviously would automatically mean I wouldn't have any respect for a special forces officer, and would seek to delete any article's about "real" warriors... FFS. I nominate articles for deletion on a regular basis when I am doing initial assessments of Milhist articles, usually shortly after they are created. On the basis of WP policy and Milhist guidelines, and certainly never because I "knew" somebody (or not). An apology is in order.

  • Disagree - Obviously I disagree as I created the article. I would suggest that the combination of the TWO valour awards should carry some weight. Also, the contribution of the man himself to the development of Small Team tactics is a unique one and makes him notable in it's own right. The secretive nature of the tasks that he was involved with means that there are VERY FEW sources of information. His biography is in fact widely referenced here on Wikipedia as a reliable source for a variety of things, so I don't see why it cannot count as such for an article on the man himself?

  • Two points
    • The book itself has been endorsed by the Special Forces Brigade, who don't do things like that lightly. It has also been checked for factual accuracy by Defence Intelligence. Many of the people mentioned in the book have read it and confirmed it's accuracy. I know that doesn't meet the criteria of being mentioned in newspaper articles or other sources, but that shouldn't reduce the authority of the book itself as a reference.
    • The theoretical higher awards were either never awarded. HCD for example. In reality, the HCS was the highest award at the time especially considering that the HC had just been restructured and the criteria for the award level hadn't been cast in stone. BoonDock ( talk) 14:35, 8 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • If you know anything about the topic then you must know that there was nothing in the press about Special Forces operations. Now thirty years and more later the information is slowly becoming available. I have copies if the citations for the HCS and HC but I was concerned that would be considered own research. He is mentioned in the Uys book which I will cite once I locate my copy as well as in two others. I'll update the references with those later. BoonDock ( talk) 15:43, 8 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Keep. Yes, Clarityfiend, seriously! The Honoris Crux, on any level, was not awarded lightly and as an ex SAAF officer with nearly 33 years service, I am personally aware of several members who should have received the HC, HCS, HCG or even HCD but never did because their commanders never bothered to submit a citation - they were soldiers, not writers. Those who were awarded any of the HC or other decorations for valour twice are rare and are all notable as far as I'm concerned. In fact, as far as I know there were only three such double awards in a bush war that lasted 23 years: Arthur Walker HCG and Bar, André Diedericks HCS HC, and J.L. Conradie HC VRM. And yes, the press were not made aware of all actions, most especially not those of the Special Forces and most definitely not about the small team operators. -- André Kritzinger ( talk) 16:07k, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Weak keep With only a web search as my research I found only a few sources that weren't forums or book sellers: 1. Two academics who were also both in the military (one retired as a Brigadier General) call Andre Diedericks' autobiography " an important primary source on Special Forces history by a leading participant". 2. In this academic article (in the Afrikaans language which I only understand a bit) Andre Diedericks is mentioned twice, even though the article states that it focusses on books by others. 3. In "BOSBEFOK: Constructed Images and the Memory of the South African Border War" by C M W Doherty, a thesis on literature, Diedericks' autobiography is mentioned as a typical example of "heroic first-person accounts produced by members of units such as Reconnaissance Commando and 32 Battalion" ... "by men who were regarded superhuman warriors at that time." 4. Diedericks apparently also figures as a character in the book "Point of the Dagger" by Peet Coetzee and 5. he is also named in passing in the book "Borderstrike!: South Africa Into Angola 1975-1980" by Willem Steenkamp. - Takeaway ( talk) 04:47, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Taking your ignorance about Andre into perspective it can be seen why you don't quiet grasp the magnitude of what the man achieved in his career. His two medals for bravery the HC, and HCS says a lot only a couple of HCG where ever awarded and no HCD where awarded.

Then his SM and MMM speak of the work ethics of the man. So fo the idiots who say he does not meet any requirements climb back in you box keep quiet and when you know the facts about what he did and achieved come deliver comments again.

  • Keep - I believe that he does meet WP:SOLDIER by virtue of his medals. For some reason our Defence Force split our highest bravery award into 4. (Ignoring the Castle of Good Hope and the HCD which was never awarded) the HCG was the highest awarded and only to a handful. The HCS was thus the second level. He also won the HC - quite an achievement. I will add ref's to the book that lists his medal achievements Gbawden ( talk) 11:17, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Sorry, I'm not buying into the special-interest pleading about the way the SADF honours system was constructed or operated. Apply that to the Australian situation between 1969 and 1996, and you'd be telling me that the Medal for Gallantry awarded to SASR WO2 Rodrick Scott was actually the highest honour because no-one had ever been awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia or Star of Gallantry at that time. Of course, since that time, there have been seven CGs and three VCs awarded. Even if your characterisation of the medals was right, SOLDIER says multiple awards of the second highest, doesn't it? The way I'm reading it (if we take what you say as valid) he got one of the second highest, plus one of the next one down. That doesn't meet SOLDIER, so I'm not sure how you're putting that together. Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 11:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - there are no less than 4 books that detail that he won the medal and his actions. Surely that means he passes GNG at the very least. I make no special interest pleadings - just stating it as I see it. Gbawden ( talk) 12:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Diedericks as an author also mentioned in Beyond the border war: new perspective on Southern Africa's Late Cold War Conflicts by Baines & Vale. ( see online excerpt)
I'd describe that as mentioned in a review of Beyond the border war: new perspective on Southern Africa's Late Cold War Conflicts. It does say "[referring to categories of published works] Contributions related to specialist forces and elite units...In this regard authors such as Els, Botha and Diedericks and Korff catch the eye. The majority of the latter works dealt to a lesser extent with politics and focused more on the experience of the participants, tactics, units and people involved. Most of these contributions are valuable historical sources" GraemeLeggett ( talk) 21:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Week Keep. I think the combination of his coverage in the sources, his decorations and his senior rank within special forces (although neither of the latter two on their own meet WP:SOLDIER) do just about (and it's still very close) scrape him past the notability bar. However, I would like to add that the attacks on the nominator for what was a perfectly sensible nomination at the time it was made have been unacceptable. It is also inaccurate to suggest that because the HC is split into four grades all those grades constitute the highest level. Rubbish. The Order of the British Empire is split into six grades, yet we only consider the top three to confer inherent notability. Same with the French Légion d'honneur. Different grades of a multi-grade honour are effectively different awards. There should be no special pleading for countries that choose to have a split award instead of separate awards, nor for countries that choose not to award their top awards, as long as those awards exist on paper. Even discounting the latter (and there's no real reason why we should), Diedericks effectively held a second-level and a third-level bravery award, which is not generally sufficient for notability under WP:SOLDIER (there are thousands of British (and WWI and WWII South African!) servicemen, for instance, with the DSO and MC, DCM and MM etc who do not and should not have articles). He also held two merit decorations which appear to be pretty far down the list. As I said, it's a very weak keep! -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - I'm familiar with the reputation of Andre Diedericks, but admittedly that's due to my sojourn in South Africa and increasing contact with the military veterans or researchers there. I don't think the medals/service record by themselves make him notable - it's how he obtained them via exceptional ops which obviously causes many vets to hold him in high regard (the 1985 Aeroflot Antonov An-12 shoot-down, for instance). The claim that he pioneered small team maneuvers in Angola, an integral part of South African special forces doctrine then and even now, also needs expansion to provide further proof of notability. -- Katangais ( talk) 17:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Slow down

This article is a stub that is, today, only nine days old. There are articles on Wikipedia that have been in existence as unreferenced one-liners for years, undisturbed. The fervour with which this deletion campaign has been waged in these nine days is rather astonishing and is creating the impression of an undisclosed agenda. Please slow down and give the article creator and other contributors some breathing space to expand on the article and include more flesh and additional references - it is out there and will be found. Being blinded by guidelines and treating them as rules cast in concrete is, in the SADF vernacular, being gatvas and, without exception, counter-productive. Stop doing that and give the contributors time to complete the article. There's no rush, is there? -- André Kritzinger ( talk) 12:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Andre, with respect, you haven't been on the receiving end of this. I've never got this sort of response in dozens of AfD nominations of Milhist articles. My track record shows I'm always happy to have a sensible discussion about deletion, admit when I'm wrong, and probably support keeping as many as I don't. The ferocity of the response to the AfD is what looks like a hidden agenda, not the AfD itself. The number of South Africans baring their teeth in defence of their comrade isn't a good look either, especially with the meatpuppetry, incivility and personal attacks. Strangely enough, I don't like getting attacked for trying to guide inclusion/exclusion of articles. We can't have articles on everyone who writes a book about himself and got a gong, however much some SADF people might idolise him. I haven't seen enough yet to show he meets GNG, so I'm not withdrawing the nomination. If enough appears, I will. Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 12:51, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Delete. First let me remind interested editors in the subject of this article of WP:CIVIL & WP:NPA. Please do not make comments about fellow editors, and assume good faith. Attacking fellow editors does nothing to advance the shared purpose of improving this project/Wikipedia. That being said, I have not come across any significant coverage of the subject in tertiary sources provided in the article (which as mentioned above has been edited multiple times since this AfD began), to indicate that the subject meets WP:GNG. As mentioned by other editors, since the highest medal for valour in South Africa during the subjects service period was divided into multiple grades, and as the subject was never awarded the highest of those grades, or the second highest of those grades multiple times, medals alone are insufficient for the subject to pass notability per WP:SOLDIER. Now the only reason why I am not saying strait delete, but weak delete, is because of the non-english language tertiary sources that might exist that give significant coverage of the subject. However, as I have not seen any presented that are readily available to other editors, I cannot support keeping this article at this time.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 20:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete. Whether this should be delete or weak delete isn't that important; the reasoning is the key. It's always hard when dealing with someone who was heroic, or achieved great things -- but to be blunt about, that has no direct impact on whether the person will be included in Wikipedia. I tend to agree with RightCowLeftCoast. First, looking at general guidelines, I don't see independent, in-depth coverage. With respect to WP:SOLDIER, it may be unfortunate his country chose not to award him the highest award, but that's what happened. Could there be sources not in English? Possibly, be we need some proof. I've spent a little time searching, but without success. Lacking that proof, the article should be deleted. -- Larry/Traveling_Man ( talk) 00:50, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Redirect to SpongeBob SquarePants (season 3): As far as Reception information goes, I've been able to find a short paragraph [24] about the episode on That Guy with the Glasses. A discussion was started about this website at the RSN here - Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 167#Video review shows - and while no one ever replied, the OP made a decent argument for the site's reliability. I also found a couple paragraphs in this [25] article on geekbinge.com, which seems like a well-put-together website. They have pretty big "staff", editorial oversight, etc. - see here [26] Whether any of the people running the site are professionals though, is more than I could say. I'm leaning in favor of redirecting this for now. That way the history can be saved in case anyone wants to recreate it later. For the time being though, I don't feel like we have quite enough coverage of this episode. Then again, maybe I'm being too dismissive of the two sources that I found.

This information satisfies the criteria as an independent topic.

Continuing threat of nuclear war between India and Pakistan is the strongest fact to support this topic.

The purpose of Wikipedia is to provide facts to general public.

The topic "Kashmir - the most dangerous place in the world" was the opinion of President Bill Clinton. However, his opinion was supported by the facts presented in a book, “Engaging India: Diplomacy, Democracy and the Bomb” by former US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott.

This book is praised by prestigious institutions such as Yale and Foreign Affairs ( http://www.foreignaffairs.com). Maakhter ( talk) 10:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC) reply

The name of a league does not necessarily reflect reality. Just as an example, the fourth division of French football is semi-pro despite being called Championnat de France amateur. Without reliable sources confirming that the Liga Nacional is in fact fully pro, the claim that it is carries no weight. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 16:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Comment Given the claim in the name that it is professional then I would suppose the league to be professional unless proof otherwise could be shown. Above, fully professional league was quoted as evidence despite the list itself stating that it is incomplete. Anyway, all of this is moot because, putting the league's article title into google revealed a claim that the league is in fact professional. I admit it is the leagues own website and it is in Spanish (I think), but it clearly states that the league is professional. So the objection that this person has not played in a professional football league no longer stands, unless you can show evidence to the contrary. Op47 ( talk) 19:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply
There are a number of issues with this. First, the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and by extension on the editor wishing to show notability via the criteria of WP:NFOOTY as a matter of textual interpretation, regardless of the particular naming conventions of any league. The name of a league is essentially treated as an unreliable source. The incompleteness of WP:FPL is not relevant for these same reasons. It does not matter whether the absence of a league from the list is due to an absence of professionalism or an absence of sources; both are required to demonstrate notability under WP:NFOOTY. The other issue is that unqualified the word professional to describe a league is not sufficiently precise to demonstrate that WP:NFOOTY is met, as the guideline requires that a footballer have played in a fully professional league (emphasis mine). While there is no doubt that the there is some degree of professionalism in the Liga Nacional, there is nothing to indicate that the league is in fact fully professional.

Delete - All though I don't doubt the authors good intentions, this article is just made up by them with no references to sources not based on their own opinion.

  • QLink is an invented term by the author
  • As all the references are just about the articles authors opinion this is basically a single source article.
  • The text may mislead people to think this is actually related to quantum security - rather than just 'inspired' by the ideas of quantum theory.
  • The article makes it sound like this is a new idea but its been about for a while: for instance www.destructingmessage.com (copyright date says 2006).
  • The article makes it sound way more safe than it is failing to mention:
  • No detection mechanisms for Man-in-the-middle attacks
  • The message could be just intercepted and read by anyone else
  • The 'QLink' server could be compromised or maliciously run
  • The articles suggests this would be suitable for sending "credit card information, passwords, confidential information", and also for national security. I would doubt you would find any security professional who would say this was (as described) suitable for any of these. In fact I would hope they would all say it should never be used for such things.

As I said on its Talkpage, I tried finding what the minimum notability needed for editors-in-chief of big magazine was and couldn't find really a guideline. I was working on a related article and thought it was pretty strange that the top position holder of a magazine did not have an article, being as how he served for 6 years in this position, was a judge on a few world-wide film competitions and got famous directors such as Steven Spielberg to guest-edit. Previous editors-in-cheif of the same magazine have an article, and other magazine's have articles for their top ranking holders. Having said that, as I don't know enough about notability of people in this position, I'm not going to argue a position either way.

Not notable. This is more a cotrack to advertise his inventions than it is a biography. Haberkern lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. the large amount of reference do not contain any depth of independent coverage about him. Most are misused, not verifying the text they follow. A shill has written their preferred text and then thrown in partly related references to fake verification and make him look good. Haberkern did not win the award claimed. This award (which is not major and one of a plethora the professional development program give out) was won by someone else, as was second and third.

Original poster here
Schmidt above has pulled together a lot of new information (well, new to me) about the film and done lots of stuff with templates (or whatever they're called). The film's page is now thoroughly up to the standards of most film articles and the "Deletion" flag should be lifted.
Re OddBodz belief that it was not a notable film - since it came to my attention while watching a TV documentary titled "Sex and the Silver Screen", which spent about 5 of 55 minutes on the film, I don't think Oddbodz's opinion is universally shared.
I was very surprised that a film of such prominence did not have a Wikipedia page. Aidan Karley ( talk) 10:46, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Appreciations, Aidan. There are lots of topics that do not (yet) have Wikipedia entries... but then it is self-admittedly an unfinished work in progress. Unless the nominator chooses to withdraw, or unless it is so obvious that the topic will not be deleted and the discussion then closed by an uninvolved editor per WP:SNOW and WP:OUTCOMES, an AFD discussion usually runs for 7 days. If your comment is intended (likely) as a "keep", you can simply head it with that word emboldened. Cheers. Schmidt, Michael Q. 11:20, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply
@ Erik: Well, to be fair, I, a woman would be best (see English film poster). But as we're Anglifying a non-English title, I felt this would look most proper per WP:NCF and WP:ENGLISH. Of course, the original Jeg - en kvinde is far more searchable than the English. I just wished to have whatever here be most searchable and with fewer false positives that the current title. We DO need that coma though. Schmidt, Michael Q. 23:29, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. This is a bit complicated. At first glance, "keep" votes outnumber "delete" votes 8 to 4 (counting the IPs obvious intent to say "keep"), but the delete votes do present solid rationales (on average stronger than the keep votes), some which were addressed and others that were not. This forces me to close a qualified "No consensus". I would recommend shoring up the article's sourcing, as another AFD in 6 months is a real possibility. Dennis - 14:02, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I strongly disagree with all of the above "keep" !votes, none of which, in my opinion, is even slightly based in policy. The "West-European/US oriented selective databases" certainly do not exclude journals in other languages and contain journals publishing in Japanese, Chinese, and, indeed, also Russian. The own national citation index ( Russian Science Citation Index) is not selective at all. Accepting indexing of journals in the RSCI would actually create a cultural bias: English-language journals need to be included in a selective database, but Russian-language journals only need to be included in the RSCI. The journal under discussion here has no impact whatsoever. Searching Google Scholar (not using the above link containing the dab) under its English title gives a grand total of 3 cites. Searching for its Russian title lists a few hundred articles published in this journal (showing, by the way, that GS indexed journals in Russian), none of which has been cited, not even in Russian journals. In short, we have no sources discussing this journal (and for those claiming there is a cultural bias at work here, I would like to remind everybody here that sources in Russian are perfectly acceptable), we have no inclusion in databases that are even remotely selective, and we have no evidence that this journal has any significant impact. I fail to see how anybody can argue that this journal is notable. -- Randykitty ( talk) 18:45, 12 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per this section in WP:NJournals; "Independent, third-party sources must exist for every topic that receives its own article on Wikipedia, without exception (see Wikipedia:Verifiability: 'If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.')." Origamite 12:22, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
that policy, which is entirely correct, is about verifiability, not notability, and requires only reliable sourcing, not reliable sourcing sufficiently substantial to establish notability under the GNG. We have never relied on the GNG for academic journals. Verifiability is met by Ulrich's. DGG ( talk ) 17:50, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Sorry, but as far as I can see from the VAK website, the strict criteria consist of being peer-reviewed, having a website and editorial board, having an address, etc. There's nothing that indicates any stricter than that. Could you perhaps provide a link that shows there is more selectivity? -- Randykitty ( talk) 15:52, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • From editor. The link with VAK's rules is [15]. Editors of Russian journals dream of including their publication in the VAK's list but meeting criteria doesn't mean that they will be included. VAK has its own selection policy based on commission experts' opinions. The selection process is not clear enough but it is a selection process. The total number of Russian scientific publications is 10028 while the VAK's list contains only 2269. 66.56.43.231 ( talk) 03:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • I had already seen that document, but unfortunately my Russian is not good enough to read it and it is not in a form acceptable by Google Translate. However, over 2000 journals from Russia alone does not strike me as very restrictive, comparing that with WoS or even (the much less selective) Scopus, which both cover the whole world. -- Randykitty ( talk) 10:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment This is my breakdown. DGG, Wikicology, Cirt, James500 and Rotten Regard think that the RSCI is enough. Karlhard asserts that it meets the GNG. 73.43.243.35, 184.188.97.130, and 66.56.43.231 say that the other journals are selective, which Randykitty directly disagrees with. Zambelo was trolling and wikistalking Randykitty. Randykitty and AioftheStorm say that the RSCI is not selective, and that no reliable sources mention this journal. I agree with Randykitty, and say that without sources, notability can't be established. Origamite 01:48, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply

  • It really is not enough to just say "meets Notability", you will also need to explain how it meets that. What sources do you consider sufficiently in-depth here? Strangely, I get just 35 Ghits (and only 13.9 million without the ""), but, in any case, numbers of Ghits are really no measure of notability. -- Randykitty ( talk) 09:54, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Not a single claim made in the article on this non-notable journal is backed by a reliable source and it's evident that the reason for that is the absence of reliable sources that we could use. It's too soon for Energy-Safety and Energy-Economy to have an article on the English Wikipedia. Iaritmioawp ( talk) 09:47, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. The discussion about what kind of database inclusion is required is irrelevant and misleading. Per WP:GNG, what we require for inclusion is substantial coverage in reliable sources, because otherwise we have nothing to base our article on, and such coverage is not attested here.  Sandstein  10:16, 2 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he has played in the Europa League and captained the Macedonian U-21 national team. However, WP:NSPORT explicitly excludes youth football as a source of notability, and since his Europa League caps were in the qualifying rounds they do not confer notability either.

Thanks for the assumption of good faith... The Macedonian top flight is in fact not fully professional (see WP:FPL) and during his stint for FK Rad (which is now over by the way) he did not play even a single match for them. WP:NSPORT explicitly says that it only applies to those footballers who have played actual matches in fully pro leagues. He has not. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 15:53, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
I apologize, as I didn't notice that he hasn't played any caps for Rad, and you didn't mention that in the nom, so I'm striking the offending parts of my comment. However, Rabotnički is a fully pro club and FK Metalurg Skopje ended 2nd and 3rd in the league while Bogdanović played for them. I suppose that makes him borderline notable, along with his youth record and Euro league qualifiers. (Judging from [17]. he now plays for FK Teteks Tetovo).

  • Keep The article is a bit confusing and could use a better distribution of references throughout the text. If the original author has more, it would be good for them to be added. The section on Freemasonry comes a bit abruptly in the story, and more should probably be said about the person who is subject of the article prior to introducing a general statement on Freemasonry. Other than that, you cannot LaMona ( talk) 02:35, 27 October 2014 (UTC) expect many more references about something that took place in 1854. The fact that there are any at all is notable. I'm game to do some editing, but have no access to the resources, so would need the help of the original author. reply

Guess what? This list was deleted once before in 2006, and was re-created earlier this year. While it has a slightly longer lead than the deleted versions, I feel the 2006 deletion nomination language still applies:

  • Keep. That the nominator "can't see the point" is not a reason for deletion, nor is the complaint that the list could be improved through better organization (e.g. by country). Doughnut shops, and specifically lists of doughnut shops, have been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources, e.g. [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. Pburka ( talk) 01:52, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but I think the list would be of far more value if it was in an expanded table form with proper referencing for each list item - location, date of establishment, etc. Of course those things are available in each article and each article is in the category so the suggestion the category is duplicated is true to an extent. But as an aid to readers I think it has some value. Stlwart 111 02:15, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
I agree. Founding dates and locations would take it above the category level. That way readers could find the articles that interested them. BTW the background info in the introduction doesn't really help. Anyone reading the list probably already knows what a doughnut and a doughnut shop are.

You'll find that's the case with a lot of lists.

Stlwart 111 05:34, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep At the time of the first deletion (before my time here) WP policy seemed to be that if a list and a category provided the same information the list was not needed. This is still the case here, but policy has changed so that now articles like this are kept. I agree with the original policy, but that is not a reason to delete this list. It is in accord with current policy, regardless of the fact that by clicking on the category you get the exact same thing. Borock ( talk) 03:31, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply

    • On what basis would you be questioning my motivation, chief? You might like to try to assume good faith, given your account was apparently created purely to defend this article. Earlier, some IP troll suggested I was a "chef", which obviously would automatically mean I wouldn't have any respect for a special forces officer, and would seek to delete any article's about "real" warriors... FFS. I nominate articles for deletion on a regular basis when I am doing initial assessments of Milhist articles, usually shortly after they are created. On the basis of WP policy and Milhist guidelines, and certainly never because I "knew" somebody (or not). An apology is in order.

  • Disagree - Obviously I disagree as I created the article. I would suggest that the combination of the TWO valour awards should carry some weight. Also, the contribution of the man himself to the development of Small Team tactics is a unique one and makes him notable in it's own right. The secretive nature of the tasks that he was involved with means that there are VERY FEW sources of information. His biography is in fact widely referenced here on Wikipedia as a reliable source for a variety of things, so I don't see why it cannot count as such for an article on the man himself?

  • Two points
    • The book itself has been endorsed by the Special Forces Brigade, who don't do things like that lightly. It has also been checked for factual accuracy by Defence Intelligence. Many of the people mentioned in the book have read it and confirmed it's accuracy. I know that doesn't meet the criteria of being mentioned in newspaper articles or other sources, but that shouldn't reduce the authority of the book itself as a reference.
    • The theoretical higher awards were either never awarded. HCD for example. In reality, the HCS was the highest award at the time especially considering that the HC had just been restructured and the criteria for the award level hadn't been cast in stone. BoonDock ( talk) 14:35, 8 October 2014 (UTC) reply
The requirements to meet notability include that the sources are independent of the subject. Neither the Brigade nor Defence Intelligence would count as independent. GraemeLeggett ( talk) 17:53, 8 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • If you know anything about the topic then you must know that there was nothing in the press about Special Forces operations. Now thirty years and more later the information is slowly becoming available. I have copies if the citations for the HCS and HC but I was concerned that would be considered own research. He is mentioned in the Uys book which I will cite once I locate my copy as well as in two others. I'll update the references with those later. BoonDock ( talk) 15:43, 8 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Keep. Yes, Clarityfiend, seriously! The Honoris Crux, on any level, was not awarded lightly and as an ex SAAF officer with nearly 33 years service, I am personally aware of several members who should have received the HC, HCS, HCG or even HCD but never did because their commanders never bothered to submit a citation - they were soldiers, not writers. Those who were awarded any of the HC or other decorations for valour twice are rare and are all notable as far as I'm concerned. In fact, as far as I know there were only three such double awards in a bush war that lasted 23 years: Arthur Walker HCG and Bar, André Diedericks HCS HC, and J.L. Conradie HC VRM. And yes, the press were not made aware of all actions, most especially not those of the Special Forces and most definitely not about the small team operators. -- André Kritzinger ( talk) 16:07k, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

In this academic article (in the Afrikaans language which I only understand a bit) Andre Diedericks is mentioned twice, even though the article states that it focusses on books by others. 3. In "BOSBEFOK: Constructed Images and the Memory of the South African Border War" by C M W Doherty, a thesis on literature, Diedericks' autobiography is mentioned as a typical example of "heroic first-person accounts produced by members of units such as Reconnaissance Commando and 32 Battalion" ... "by men who were regarded superhuman warriors at that time." 4. Diedericks apparently also figures as a character in the book "Point of the Dagger" by Peet Coetzee and 5. he is also named in passing in the book "Borderstrike!: South Africa Into Angola 1975-1980" by Willem Steenkamp. - Takeaway ( talk) 04:47, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Taking your ignorance about Andre into perspective it can be seen why you don't quiet grasp the magnitude of what the man achieved in his career. His two medals for bravery the HC, and HCS says a lot only a couple of HCG where ever awarded and no HCD where awarded.

Then his SM and MMM speak of the work ethics of the man. So fo the idiots who say he does not meet any requirements climb back in you box keep quiet and when you know the facts about what he did and achieved come deliver comments again. Yes no one knew of Special Forces Operations because that is what they are, only the Americans publish their Seal results and make films to justify the military presence in countries. You don't hear about the SAS or our Special Forces doing anything because we can keep quiet — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew van Vuuren ( talkcontribs) 05:33, 9 October 2014 (UTC) Andrew van Vuuren ( talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

You just don't get it. To qualify as a bio in Wikipedia, his accomplishments have to be verifiable by reliable sources, per WP:GNG. According to you, they're all so secret, they can't be. And while you're at it, try reading WP:CIVIL. Clarityfiend ( talk) 06:17, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

    • You call that "losing focus", do you, pal? What it is, is meatpuppetry, and frankly, it's transparent, and you are sailing pretty close to the wind. Put your feral mates on a leash. But let's put that to one side for now, shall we, because I don't think I'll be getting an apology for their ignorant behaviour. What GNG requires is "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject". That is what the issue with this article was, and is, as far as I am concerned. I haven't seen anyone claiming significant coverage except in his autobiography (and that obviously isn't independent of the subject, apparently it is a "heroic first-person account"). Where is there significant coverage of this fellow? Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 11:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I believe that he does meet WP:SOLDIER by virtue of his medals. For some reason our Defence Force split our highest bravery award into 4. (Ignoring the Castle of Good Hope and the HCD which was never awarded) the HCG was the highest awarded and only to a handful. The HCS was thus the second level. He also won the HC - quite an achievement. I will add ref's to the book that lists his medal achievements Gbawden ( talk) 11:17, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Sorry, I'm not buying into the special-interest pleading about the way the SADF honours system was constructed or operated. Apply that to the Australian situation between 1969 and 1996, and you'd be telling me that the Medal for Gallantry awarded to SASR WO2 Rodrick Scott was actually the highest honour because no-one had ever been awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia or Star of Gallantry at that time. Of course, since that time, there have been seven CGs and three VCs awarded. Even if your characterisation of the medals was right, SOLDIER says multiple awards of the second highest, doesn't it? The way I'm reading it (if we take what you say as valid) he got one of the second highest, plus one of the next one down. That doesn't meet SOLDIER, so I'm not sure how you're putting that together. Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 11:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - there are no less than 4 books that detail that he won the medal and his actions. Surely that means he passes GNG at the very least. I make no special interest pleadings - just stating it as I see it. Gbawden ( talk) 12:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Diedericks as an author also mentioned in Beyond the border war: new perspective on Southern Africa's Late Cold War Conflicts by Baines & Vale. ( see online excerpt)
I'd describe that as mentioned in a review of Beyond the border war: new perspective on Southern Africa's Late Cold War Conflicts. It does say "[referring to categories of published works] Contributions related to specialist forces and elite units...In this regard authors such as Els, Botha and Diedericks and Korff catch the eye. The majority of the latter works dealt to a lesser extent with politics and focused more on the experience of the participants, tactics, units and people involved. Most of these contributions are valuable historical sources" GraemeLeggett ( talk) 21:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Week Keep. I think the combination of his coverage in the sources, his decorations and his senior rank within special forces (although neither of the latter two on their own meet WP:SOLDIER) do just about (and it's still very close) scrape him past the notability bar. However, I would like to add that the attacks on the nominator for what was a perfectly sensible nomination at the time it was made have been unacceptable. It is also inaccurate to suggest that because the HC is split into four grades all those grades constitute the highest level. Rubbish. The Order of the British Empire is split into six grades, yet we only consider the top three to confer inherent notability. Same with the French Légion d'honneur. Different grades of a multi-grade honour are effectively different awards. There should be no special pleading for countries that choose to have a split award instead of separate awards, nor for countries that choose not to award their top awards, as long as those awards exist on paper. Even discounting the latter (and there's no real reason why we should), Diedericks effectively held a second-level and a third-level bravery award, which is not generally sufficient for notability under WP:SOLDIER (there are thousands of British (and WWI and WWII South African!) servicemen, for instance, with the DSO and MC, DCM and MM etc who do not and should not have articles). He also held two merit decorations which appear to be pretty far down the list. As I said, it's a very weak keep! -- Necrothesp ( talk) 13:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - I'm familiar with the reputation of Andre Diedericks, but admittedly that's due to my sojourn in South Africa and increasing contact with the military veterans or researchers there. I don't think the medals/service record by themselves make him notable - it's how he obtained them via exceptional ops which obviously causes many vets to hold him in high regard (the 1985 Aeroflot Antonov An-12 shoot-down, for instance). The claim that he pioneered small team maneuvers in Angola, an integral part of South African special forces doctrine then and even now, also needs expansion to provide further proof of notability. -- Katangais ( talk) 17:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Slow down

This article is a stub that is, today, only nine days old. There are articles on Wikipedia that have been in existence as unreferenced one-liners for years, undisturbed. The fervour with which this deletion campaign has been waged in these nine days is rather astonishing and is creating the impression of an undisclosed agenda. Please slow down and give the article creator and other contributors some breathing space to expand on the article and include more flesh and additional references - it is out there and will be found. Being blinded by guidelines and treating them as rules cast in concrete is, in the SADF vernacular, being gatvas and, without exception, counter-productive. Stop doing that and give the contributors time to complete the article. There's no rush, is there? -- André Kritzinger ( talk) 12:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Andre, with respect, you haven't been on the receiving end of this. I've never got this sort of response in dozens of AfD nominations of Milhist articles. My track record shows I'm always happy to have a sensible discussion about deletion, admit when I'm wrong, and probably support keeping as many as I don't. The ferocity of the response to the AfD is what looks like a hidden agenda, not the AfD itself. The number of South Africans baring their teeth in defence of their comrade isn't a good look either, especially with the meatpuppetry, incivility and personal attacks. Strangely enough, I don't like getting attacked for trying to guide inclusion/exclusion of articles. We can't have articles on everyone who writes a book about himself and got a gong, however much some SADF people might idolise him. I haven't seen enough yet to show he meets GNG, so I'm not withdrawing the nomination. If enough appears, I will. Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 12:51, 9 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Delete. First let me remind interested editors in the subject of this article of WP:CIVIL & WP:NPA. Please do not make comments about fellow editors, and assume good faith. Attacking fellow editors does nothing to advance the shared purpose of improving this project/Wikipedia. That being said, I have not come across any significant coverage of the subject in tertiary sources provided in the article (which as mentioned above has been edited multiple times since this AfD began), to indicate that the subject meets WP:GNG. As mentioned by other editors, since the highest medal for valour in South Africa during the subjects service period was divided into multiple grades, and as the subject was never awarded the highest of those grades, or the second highest of those grades multiple times, medals alone are insufficient for the subject to pass notability per WP:SOLDIER. Now the only reason why I am not saying strait delete, but weak delete, is because of the non-english language tertiary sources that might exist that give significant coverage of the subject. However, as I have not seen any presented that are readily available to other editors, I cannot support keeping this article at this time.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 20:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak delete. Whether this should be delete or weak delete isn't that important; the reasoning is the key. It's always hard when dealing with someone who was heroic, or achieved great things -- but to be blunt about, that has no direct impact on whether the person will be included in Wikipedia. I tend to agree with RightCowLeftCoast. First, looking at general guidelines, I don't see independent, in-depth coverage. With respect to WP:SOLDIER, it may be unfortunate his country chose not to award him the highest award, but that's what happened. Could there be sources not in English? Possibly, be we need some proof. I've spent a little time searching, but without success. Lacking that proof, the article should be deleted. -- Larry/Traveling_Man ( talk) 00:50, 25 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Redirect to SpongeBob SquarePants (season 3): As far as Reception information goes, I've been able to find a short paragraph [24] about the episode on That Guy with the Glasses. A discussion was started about this website at the RSN here - Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 167#Video review shows - and while no one ever replied, the OP made a decent argument for the site's reliability. I also found a couple paragraphs in this [25] article on geekbinge.com, which seems like a well-put-together website. They have pretty big "staff", editorial oversight, etc. - see here [26] Whether any of the people running the site are professionals though, is more than I could say. I'm leaning in favor of redirecting this for now. That way the history can be saved in case anyone wants to recreate it later. For the time being though, I don't feel like we have quite enough coverage of this episode. Then again, maybe I'm being too dismissive of the two sources that I found.

  • Delete : for the obvious reason given above. --Mahensingha 20:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahensingha ( talkcontribs)
  • Redirect or merge if they are two ways of spelling the name of the caste. No need to delete. Thincat ( talk) 17:49, 22 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete : One of the articles Koshti or Koshta needs to be deleted as both have the similar contents that too without reliable references. the references on review reflects something else.--Mahensingha 18:35, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
  • As long as the both spellings are used for the caste, there is no need for deletion, and one should be redirected to the other. — innotata 16:44, 23 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Not notable. Very minor music figure in UK. Does not fit any of the criteria listed under Wikipedia:Notability (Music) guidelines and much of information is self-published and/or trivial. Much read like an extended promotional blurb (less than 2000 fans on facebook) Tigerlilygirl ( talk) 17:09, 6 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment. I am in doubt here. On one hand, there seems to be some notability evidenced by a couple of links, on the other hand, it seems to be borderline, for example, she was once interviewed as a support for a different group.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 08:21, 29 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Okay so he has a hit-but it appears to be his ONLY song. So this could be a too soon case (or a one hit wonder even). Wgolf ( talk) 17:31, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply

I just did put a redirect page from Sam O'Neill which appears to be his real name, but it is still a orphan either way. Wgolf ( talk) 17:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Object - he's got plenty more songs, clearly the author just hasn't done their research! I'd be quite happy to do some renovation of this article and get it up to a better status. He's done some very notable remixes and is mentioned in several articles so I'll sort out that orphan now. -- DJ UnBa lanced 12:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Nine reliable sources and a lot of formatting later... have I changed your mind Wgolf? -- DJ UnBa lanced 14:37, 27 October 2014 (UTC) reply
