  • Delete - for the sake of fairness, she's also a regular contributor to Women's Health magazine ( [1]) but I don't think that adds much to be honest. We need coverage of her, not coverage by her. St★lwart 111 01:50, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Other than a mention as being "most eligible", Tigar has yet to actually be the focus of any true in-depth coverage. I can't see where she ultimately passes notability guidelines. Being a writer for a notable magazine can help gain coverage, but it's never a guarantee and being a potentially reliable source yourself (predominantly for the WH articles, I'd assume) would not mean that you pass notability guidelines either. Also, the popularity of her blog doesn't guarantee notability either- it would also make it more likely she'd gain coverage, but again- it's not a guarantee.

  • Keep The person is definitely notable. He's not a mere soldier or some lower-ranked terrorist. He's a leader of a notable Islamic extremist group. A simple google search yields 10,000s of results. FYI, be sure to try different spellings of his name, such as Abu Yousuf Al-Turki or Abu Yousef Al-Turki. That'll bring out even more results.

  • Comment He seems to have been notable enough to have been deliberately targeted. Notability might also be derived from his significance in training other snipers. Are snipers particularly important here? But it is still just a rather weak keep, I think.

There are a lot of sources in the article as it stands, but 90% of them are simply checklists of what Pak has done during his career. The article comes across as slightly promotional ("here are all the things he's done") with very little in the way of significant media coverage or personal information. I cannot at this time determine what makes him stand out from the rest of the graphic designer/developer crowd or makes him notable per Wikipedia's standards.

Keep - A designer from Turkey that worked with big brands (check his previous works on http://undream.net). Most of the sources linked are respected/known design magazines of his subject therefore WP:GNG is met and most of his achievements are clearly notable. Possibly, the way the article written is causing a problem; which can be fixed. As a designer who follows design communities up close I can say that this guy one of the main sources of inspiration for many designers in multiple design branches - and one of the current leads of Today's motion design.-- Gnihton ( talk) 20:41, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I would love the judgement to be fair. All of the promotional looking stuff was removed or corrected by an experienced member. Right now there is nothing I can do to make the negative commenters happy however if you think fair you will also agree with me that the article deserves to stay, specially compared to many of the stuff with a lot less content and notability. -- Gnihton ( talk) 16:50, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Gnihton, as I mentioned to you in IRC, all that the article needs is a few more references that don't simply list Pak on a credits page and discuss him as an artist. At the moment there is one (maybe two at a stretch), which isn't really enough to make him notable per Wikipedia's standards, and I can't find any more (or I'd add them myself). Primefac ( talk) 22:59, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Keep Added more information upon request by Primefac that are more than just credits, corrected and replaced some of the references to reflect the same, added MAD event and a few more. How does it look now? -- Gnihton ( talk) 06:33, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply

The reason for AfD nomination should be gone, if not, minimized by the changes until now. Have a look. Also keep in mind that some of the sources look like "front page" with no relation to the person of interest (for instance http://www.madinspain.com/) - do not get tricked by this, just scroll down a bit and you will see big chunks of data about the person of interest. Sadly, single page design is hype right now so it's not possible to link the exact (scroll) location of the single-page-design website to show the perfect reference. Should not be a problem though, since the sources are fitting to WP:GNG. -- Gnihton ( talk) 09:13, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Quantity does not equal quality. These are just not the kind of facts and citations that demonstrate a designer's notability. The interview with Awwwards is a good example. The brief header says he is a "multi-award winning designer" but the only awards they mention are the 2010 and 2012 Vimeo Awards, for which he was short-listed, but which he did not win. see also the web site touted by the author http://www.madinspain.com/ which has four sentences taken from a press release or resume, but without any solid facts, all hype. So it doesn't really matter that the site has no indicia of reliability. Much of the coverage cited in the article is incidental. Some are just images. It is possible that he might pass WP:NOTEBLP if good solid coverage in reliable independent secondary sources could be found, but this article does not do that. It depends on primary sources, mentions, related sources and unreliable sources. Currently it does not pass the guideline for creative individuals. -- Bejnar ( talk) 22:46, 6 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Bejnar really hit it on the nose. Unfortunatley if I'm running a google news search or a newspaper search and I can't find diddly squat, chances are that there's not significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. While you may be plenty of sources where he's been mentioned, they seem to be minor mentions and sourcing. Now, granted, Notability isn't temporary, but check the link Benjar gave above on our guideline for creative individuals Dusti *Let's talk!* 02:35, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Bejnar you have a lot of valid points on what you write, however I find your comment quite misleading in terms of presented data. For instance I'm not sure how you didn't saw the huge portion in http://www.madinspain.com/ - featuring the POI as one of the presenters of the event. Anyway, there is a lot of information floating around the web, I will gather them and keep improving the article. One of my problems is that this person is mentioned/interviewed/featured in a lot of books or magazines (which I have some of them physically) however I can't find any digital versions of those sources, which makes it impossible for me to cite them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnihton ( talk • contribs) 12:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
I did see the section that listed him as one of the thirteen presenters, it was not huge. Those were the five sentences that contained only conclusions, no facts, and read as "hype". That is not what we mean by substantive. -- Bejnar ( talk) 14:58, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Gnihton, there is an option for citing books in the "Cite" dropdown menu (select "Cite" when you are editing, then chose "cite book" from the "Templates" dropdown menu). The cite helper gives an ISBN lookup (meaning you don't have to enter all the info in manually). Primefac ( talk) 12:07, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Primefac, thanks for the info, but how will it be proven that the stuff I cite are actually in the book(s)? -- Gnihton ( talk) 13:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
At the risk of sounding terribly sarcastic: libraries still exist. Primefac ( talk) 13:43, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP, relying exclusively on primary sources with not a shred of reliable source coverage in sight, of a rapper whose only substantive claim to passing WP:NMUSIC is an album that peaked #94 on the Billboard hip hop charts. That certainly satisfies the letter of NMUSIC #2, but even NMUSIC still requires the article to be properly sourced — it does not entitle anybody to keep a Wikipedia article that's this badly sourced just because they only barely squeak over one item on its checklist. I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if real, properly reliable sourcing can be added to salvage the article with, but he's not entitled to keep an article on here if this is the best he can do for sourcing. (See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guce, which was about the same person — the claim of notability and the quality of sourcing aren't significantly better here than they were there, but the article is still different enough from the original to not qualify for CSD G4.)

  • This isn't technically a WP:CRYSTAL violation, because it's a known fact that there will be earthquakes in 2015. But WP:TOOSOON definitely applies — for the remaining three months of 2014, this can only serve as an empty placeholder with no genuinely substantive content (i.e. no actual earthquakes to actually list). Delete for now, and recreate no earlier than one week before January 1, 2015. Bearcat ( talk) 18:45, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Although I agree with the above I personally see no point in deleting something that'll only be recreated in 3 months time (or earlier) .... To save a lot of fuss I say keep. – Davey2010 • (talk) 22:45, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - I think it is a WP:CRYSTAL violation and that this is exactly why we avoid creating articles on that basis. We assume there will be earthquakes, scientific evidence suggests that there will be earthquakes and we can use our psychic powers (what, you don't have those?) to deduce that there will be earthquakes. But even then, there's no guarantee any of them will be notable and while the year does start on 1 January, it might be April until somewhere has an earthquake notable enough for inclusion on the list. Just because it has happened before, doesn't mean it will happen again. 31 December 2014 might signal the start of the most tectonically stable period in Earth's history. In fact, I might create an article suggesting exactly that... no... wait. See where I'm going? St★lwart 111 01:41, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

I'm not convinced that the subject passes WP:PROF, or even WP:GNG. The only claim I can see that might pass the professor test is the editorial role on Journal of Economic Behaviour..., but even then he's listed as "an" editor rather than the head of the editorial staff. I'm open to withdrawing this if notability can be demonstrated, but at present, it reads like a resume, not the biography of a notable academic. Yunshui  雲 水 14:17, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The Changing Face of Economics: Conversations with Cutting Edge Economists (my underlining) published by University of Michigan Press (already a reference in the article) has a 30 page interview with him, and the title of the book is rather self explanatory. There's an entire book devoted to his and Samuel Bowles's work, Bowles and Gintis Revisited: Correspondence and Contradiction in Educational Theory, published by Routledge. Note the number of reviews of his work in peer-reviewed journals on Jstor [6]. See also the lengthy review of Gintis's 2009 book, The Bounds of Reason: Game Theory and the Unification of the Behavioral Sciences, in American Scientist [7]. The Bowles and Gintis book, Schooling in capitalist America: educational reform and the contradictions of economic life, has had 44 editions in 5 languages between 1976 and 2011 and over 8700 citations and Gingtis himself has an H-index of 66 on Google Scholar wnich is quite high.

See also the total library holdings of his works at WorldCat [9] and reviews in the New York Times of two of his books: [10], [11] I'll also note in passing that Herbert Gintis has over 30 incoming links on Wikipedia (excluding list articles) [12].

Also nominating similar related article:

List of royal mistresses of Hungary (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

There was never any such position as a "royal mistress of Bohemia", so it's not surprising that the table is half-empty, half-inaccurate. Concubines are not mistresses, and the article would hardly meet notability criteria more than the List of Bohemian queens' favourite dishes. Not everything "royal" deserves an article or a list. One can try to put up with articles such as List of consorts of Nevers, but there has to be a limit somewhere. I repeat, this was not an office. It had no "term started date" and no "term ended date". Being a mistress meant many different things to many different couples. Some were one-night adventures that resulted in a child, some were lifetime partners and influential confidantes. Some were not sexual, and some were purely sexual. It makes no sense to put all of these women into the same basket and treat them as office-holders. Surtsicna ( talk) 13:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

The previous AfD was closed as delete, after a fairly heated debate and subsequent deletion review. The article has been recently recreated, following the release this week of a documentary miniseries [14] about the subject of the article. This additional coverage could address the primary policy-based deletion argument of WP:BLP1E. As nominator, my !vote at this time is neutral.

  • Keep - Hard to see any argument remaining for WP:BLP1E. Coverage includes multiple and unrelated events (the original outing, subsequent media appearances, selection as reality show host, strip club tour, release of documentary miniseries, etc.). Gaijin42 provides ample sources. Knox is a public figure for multiple reasons, and shows no signs of "otherwise remaining...a low-profile individual." WP:BLP1E doesn't apply.

Collect How many months of sustained coverage do you think is a sign of enduring notability? Did you look at the list of sources above?

  • I think that a better way to phrase this would be "Editors that have signed up with the sole purpose of posting in this AfD need to be aware that they can be seen as single purpose accounts and as such, will make sure to cite relevant policies. Editors that have made few or no edits outside of this topic and that appear to be making arguments that would fall within WP:NOT and/or is based more upon a personal opinion/viewpoint may be considered less helpful to the discussion and potentially considered to have very little impact on the overall consensus. Please remember that AfD is WP:NOTAVOTE and that the final decision will be made based upon the arguments posed and whether or not they are seen to fall within the applicable guidelines."

  • Comment: Since the history was restored, I've pulled one of the older version of the article and restored it since it is more fleshed out as a whole. It will need to be updated, of course, but I don't entirely want people to come in here and judge notability based on the stubbified version of the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:30, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The thing about citing WP:BLP1E is that sometimes that one event can actually have lasting repercussions. Knox has been the focus of relatively steady coverage since her debut. As others have pointed out, 1E is typically reserved for instances where the individual is known for something like "woman who can bench press a Buick with her teeth" or "Taylor Swift's ex-best friend from high school speaks out about being snubbed at this awards event"- basically people who are known for something that is all but guaranteed to be a blip in the pan and is extremely unlikely to gain substantial additional coverage once the initial fervor has died down. A wonderful example of this would be the Ikea Monkey. In this particular incident Knox has gained a LOT of coverage and while admittedly the coverage isn't as overwhelmingly large now as it was when this all hit the net back in March, it's still fairly steady and regular. Regardless of how she got media attention, Knox is still getting attention in the media on a regular basis. ( [16], [17]) The reality series hasn't aired yet as far as I know, but she did get coverage for that and there is the documentary series- which has released and has received quite a bit of coverage. The article does need some editing overall for content, tone, and so on, especially as far as dates go- I just noticed that there aren't any dates for when a lot of things happened, so that'll need to be fixed. I also recommend semi-protecting the article because I can absolutely guarantee that this will be a vandalism magnet once people on certain sites realize that it's been re-created. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:12, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I think the conditions of WP:BLP1E are not met here. Given Knox's own writing and public appearances, and the recent documentary, I don't see her as someone who "remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual". She seems to be parlaying the attention from the outing incident into a sort of career. I think there's enough secondary source coverage to establish notability. GabrielF ( talk) 05:29, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep There are adequate reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Furthermore, as Ms. Knox continues to pursue a career, including now the documentary, it seems she has declined to remain a low-profile individual as required by WP:BLP1E.-- danntm T C 06:13, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Snow keep. No policy based reason for deletion. Notability is well established. Plenty of extremely notable reliable sources. -- Brangifer ( talk) 19:07, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete There is no biography to write. It's news. Details of her life are problematic including using her name. If we had an article on porn stars working their way through college, she may be mentioned as one in that article but there is too much privacy invasion and WP:BLP1E for a biography. There are also WP:ONEEVENT and WP:AVOIDVICTIM if editors contort themselves past BLP1E (note, ONEEVENT is different than BLP1E). One day she may graduate and wish this to all be in her past yet we will immortalize this bio permanently as prurient sideshow that is not encyclopedic. That's as pure a violation in both the spirit and letter of the BLP policy and guidelines as any. WP is not a random collection of information. -- DHeyward ( talk) 19:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Be a little careful about saying that we should delete this based upon speculation that Knox may want this removed one day. I know that this isn't the only thing in your argument, but until Knox herself asks for its deletion we should not automatically assume that she will want this removed based upon the idea that she will see her past as personally harmful for her career. To date she has not said anything that would show that she would try to hide or obscure her past once she completes her degree. I'm not saying that we shouldn't potentially protect people or respect their wishes, just that we aren't trying to provide protection where the person has not requested any and where it could also potentially be detrimental to Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Our BLP policies are not based on requests by the subjects. Avoiding harm is one of the key tenets. That a bio of a young adult filled with titillating and prurient detail that essentially exist because of doxxing should not be what Wikipedia biographies are about. There are countless college-aged women that work in some form of adult entertainment yet have no bio because they haven't been doxxed. People interested in the real name and university address of females that work in strip clubs or perform in adult movies can find other sources. We don't need to immortalize doxxed identities here and that is the only reason she stands out from the countless others. It is not empowering her by immortalizing her doxxing nor is it empowering for young women to learn that once their real name is known, WP will create and maintain her link to a stage name simply because we can. If she didn't want anonymity, she wouldn't have a stage name. It's that simple, really. -- DHeyward ( talk) 08:15, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Initially she wanted to keep her real name hidden and we respected that in the first incarnation of the article. However since that point Knox has come out with a documentary series where she releases her real name. Also, whether or not the whole scenario (and the article) is/was empowering for Knox shouldn't be a reason for deletion- we have to base it on notability. Sometimes people do things that we as editors find personally unappealing or degrading and sometimes those people gain notability for that fact. We need to be very, very careful that we aren't removing things just because we think that one day Miriam Weeks will suddenly become ashamed of the things that she did under the name of Belle Knox and because we personally find the events distasteful. This can actually be seen as a form of censorship. Well meaning censorship, but still censorship. Most of the times we do this without even thinking about whether or not what we're doing is ultimately beneficial to Wikipedia and the individual or whether or not it's censorship. While no, we shouldn't have stuff just to be salacious, neither should we be white knights in a situation like this. There has already been harm done, but not by Wikipedia and we need to look at whether the Wikipedia article would do harm in this situation, especially when you consider that the entire scenario has been widely reported on and the woman herself has taken the resulting media coverage as a platform to talk about various applicable issues. Basically, what I want to make sure is that in trying to protect her from potential harm that we aren't actually perpetuating harm ourselves by saying that because all of this happened, that obviously she'll regret all of this later (stigmatizing everything) and that she needs to be protected from herself as well as from the world at large. We also need to not kid ourselves: removing this won't really do much for her in the long run. This has already popped up in at least one academic journal (as a focus on media headlines) so this is something that is more than newspapers reporting on someone refusing to provide flowers to a gay couple's wedding or someone quitting their media job because they want to go run a pot shop. We need to avoid harm, yes, but we also need to look at whether or not this is notable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:47, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • I believe your argument is another strawman recreation of what I said, but fails to address the fundamental. Picking out women that have chosen to use sex work as a means to support their education is not new. It is not about how editors feel about sex work, it's about contributing to a culture of shaming individuals that have chosen it. This article doesn't exist without her real name. Her own assessment, I believe, is that doxxing has ruined her life. WP is not a random collection of information and information about a single college woman that uses adult entertainment to fund their college career is one person among thousands. She is not notable because she is a college student doing sex work as there are literally tens of thousands that do so. She is in the news because they discovered her identity and affiliation. Using that as a reason for inclusion is harmful. She is not known for her sex work, rather she is known because of a "name and shame" mentality by the press. WP need not be party to that type of sensationalism. This is not Jerry Springer. -- DHeyward ( talk) 09:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I'm broadly with Tokyogirl79 on this. Belle Knox is steadily accumulating reliable sources, showing that we are past the WP:BLP1E moment; this is not a single-event article but about a person who has for better or worse become well-known, even notorious, and is now developing a media career which is being reported sufficiently to prove it is notable in WP's terms in its own right.

  • Keep. In March she was known only for her outing. That got some extra coverage because of her Duke affiliation, but it was routine nonetheless. Novelty is not notability. We were right to exercise caution in the early days, especially while it remained to be seen how she would handle her newfound notoriety. Since then, she's apparently chosen to embrace it and had some success building on it. She's notable now, even if the coverage of her outpaces her actual notability. Of course, sensation will continue to swirl around her, and we'll have to use judgment about what goes in the article. But the article should stay. Lagrange 613 03:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Is little more than an article about stalking by stalkers for stalkers - and I doubt that it will ever be anything more than that.

  • Keep - I felt that there was enough, ongoing of the Belle Knox story beyond the simple story of "Porn actress goes to Duke" that it had passed the notability test. That coverage is even more expansive since and it's now regularly talked about in debates about pornography in the context of feminism in reliable sources obviously isn't changing my mind. Knox would still fail the specialized WP:PORNSBIO test, but I believe clearly passes the general notability guidelines. The argument that this is a passing news story simply doesn't hold water - 6 months later and news stories involving Knox in major media still exist, divorced from the details of the initial story, now more than 6 months ago. This is an easy one now. CoffeeCrumbs ( talk) 20:53, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply

This article about a U.S. judge was speedily deleted and restored after discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 September 19. Because some in that discussion voiced concerns about notability, I'm submitting the artice to AfD to decide this. I myself am neutral.  Sandstein  12:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep: I'm not intimately familiar with the intricacies of the U.S. federal court system and there was some debate about whether or not a federal magistrate judge meets the criteria of WP:NPOL. In simplest terms, it is a judge position in the federal court system, therefore NPOL is met. Looking into it further, we have a Category:United States magistrate judges, indicating to me that it's a position which we consider notable. However, it doesn't appear to me that Brennan is notable beyond this, so this is the weakest of weak !votes. Keep in mind also that this wouldn't have come to AfD at all if not for a certain admin's gross misunderstanding of WP:CSD#G10 rationalizing nuking an article for containing the slightest of BLP vios.

  • WP:NPOL doesn't confer an automatic presumption of notability on all judges — in fact, it has nothing to do with judges at all, and instead the relevant criteria by which a judge has to be measured is WP:JUDGE. According to our article on magistrate judges, however, it's an administrative "junior judge" role which presides over the lower functions of the district court (e.g. bail hearings, search warrants, misdemeanor cases, etc.), so that the "senior" district court judges can concentrate on the more important and notable functions of the system — so a magistrate judge would not automatically meet WP:JUDGE just for holding a magistrate judgeship, but instead would qualify for a Wikipedia article only if you could write it substantively enough, and source it reliably enough, to get him over WP:GNG. But with only one non-primary source here, and with the article being little more than a prosified reiteration of his résumé, that test has not been met. I do agree that it didn't qualify for speedy under the criterion that was cited, when the offending text could simply have been removed from the article, but as written it is still a delete. No prejudice against recreation in the future if (a) the quality of sourcing can be improved, and/or (b) he gets promoted to a more senior role that would actually pass WP:JUDGE. Bearcat ( talk) 19:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • I disagree. POLITICIAN expressly says that it applies to judges. JUDGE, which has yet to be accepted as a guideline, expressly says that it does not affect the notability of judges who are notable under POLITICIAN. Either way, if a judge satisfies POLITICIAN, he is notable. James500 ( talk) 13:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. James500 is right to say that NPOL applies to judges. But magistrate judges really aren't judges. They are very low on the judicial food chain and, it seems, do not even give final judgment in cases. They carry out administrative and interlocutory functions under the delegated authority of (actual) judges. There are over 500 in the US. They do not have life tenure, which (I understand) federal judges are constitutionally guaranteed. So applying NPOL to them would be a stretch, and a misconstruction of the guideline. As for the GNG, the closest thing to significant coverage is this, found by Cunard at the DRV. I don't think this brief article on his appointment is significant enough for the purposes of the notability of a living person.-- Mkativerata ( talk) 20:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Autobiographical. Extensively edited by single-purpose-account who appears to also be the subject.

I can't read the language in the newspaper scans (and won't even try to guess which of the Indian languages it is).

@ VQuakr: The obvious difference between the 59 pages we have, and the 17,900 pages we don't, is that the 59 pages are for cases that were the subject of significant media interest, which invariably led to a a large, organized search; a widespread feeling of fear in the area; candlelight vigils; etc. It's the reaction to the disappearance that makes it notable. I feel like this is akin to an argument that we shouldn't have an article on The Rape of the Lock because there are a hundred million poems we don't have pages for, and besides, people get their hair cut all the time. KarakasaObake ( talk) 19:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
We have different inclusion criteria for literature than for events. WP:NEVENT does not mention vigils, search parties, or feelings of fear and for good reason - there are many, many more than 59 vigils per decade worldwide. VQuakr ( talk) 20:02, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
@ VQuakr:No, WP:NEVENT doesn't mention vigils or search parties, but it does mention depth of coverage, duration of coverage, and diversity of sources, all of which this case has. And, quoting directly from WP:NEVENT: "As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources. The disappearance of a person would fall under this guideline if law enforcement agencies deemed it likely to have been caused by criminal conduct, regardless of whether a perpetrator is identified or charged. If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable."

If we needed to put all vaguely similar content on trial everytime we had a deletion discussion we'd never get anywhere.
The only way that I might consider this article notable and keep-worthy is if, somewhere along the line, the reason for her disappearance turns out to be especially notable -- abducted by aliens, or ISIS, or something similarly unlikely. I don't see any point in keeping the article around until that notability is established, however -- it can always be resurrected if it turns out that something truly distinguishes this girl from all the other missing persons cases out there that by luck or tragedy don't get the same kind of media coverage.

*Weak Keep for now. It has the intense and widespread coverage similar to other Missing White Female cases which have been found to be notable in AFDs. Obviously one cannot use the time machine to travel to the future and see how lasting the effects and coverage were. We could revisit in a couple of years and delete it if the coverage fades quickly. It should not be added to the Missing White Female Syndrome article unless reliable sources call it an instance of such disproportionate coverage.

  • Delete (changed from Weak Keep). It is a news story, and this is an encyclopedia, not "Top Stories Of The Week." If the case becomes as notable as the killing of Bobby Franks by Leopold and Loeb, if laws are passed as a result ("Hannah's Law"), if it is discussed in legal textbooks, if books and movies (like "In Cold Blood" ) are written about it, or if there is a notable and precedent-setting trial, then we can create an encyclopedic article. Not every hyped story needs a permanent entry in encyclopedias. Edison ( talk) 15:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Normally you can read an encyclopedic treatment of the "top stories of the week" on Wikipedia. Normally nobody even considers nominating such articles for deletion. You can trivialize anything—"another missing white girl"—but if the world thinks it's important, that's all that matters. Everyking ( talk) 02:51, 27 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete It has not been established that this case is anything more than a routine news story. Yes, it is getting a lot of coverage but the suspect was arrested yesterday, so that is sort of expected.

local festival. extensive listing of productions violates WP:NOT. but even if it were removed, there still isn othing for ntoability except routine notices) DGG ( talk ) 05:54, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply


[In Defense of this article] The article is patterned after other similar articles on Wikipedia such as " Hudson Warehouse", " Woodward Shakespeare Festival", and " Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival" and many other similar articles that speak of a theater or festival performing Shakespeare (see /info/en/?search=Category:Shakespeare_festivals).

How are all of these other articles that are similar in content and format, OK to remain on WP and this article isn't? All of these other articles on Shakespeare theaters or festivals list the same things that this article does such as

  • organizational history
  • founder/leader information
  • past productions
  • where they perform.

The list of productions has been edited down to only include the last two years. This can be further modified if need be. What is the criteria for a section like this?

As for being notable, (i.e worthy of inclusion on WP) one of WP's criteria is that the group/person/event be recognized by other verifiable sources. The article contains several references to outside publications and city entities that recognize what the group has done such as the "Connecticut Post" and the "Jersey Journal". The company is notable from a historical perspective in that its been operating for nearly 25 years in New Jersey and is affiliated with several communities within New Jersey and also Stratford, CT. The first two companies listed above, "Hudson Warehouse" and "Woodward Shakespeare", have been operating for 10 years. How are these groups MORE notable from a historical perspective then this group that has been around twice as long? How are they MORE notable as they list the same type of content, as this articles does, and again not being questioned for deletion?

Further, there is a section in the article itself which lists "Notable Achievements". They include:

  1. The company's founder was recognized for contributions to his community through the Hudson Shakespeare Company by the "Jersey Journal", the main newspaper of this section of New Jersey.
  2. Several members of the company were published in a book in 2014 whose subject matter is Shakespeare and Theater.
  3. Award nominations in a long running New York City theater festival.
  4. One of its productions was highlighted in the New Cambridge press edition of "Two Noble Kinsmen". a scholarly edition of individual Shakespeare plays similar to the "Penguin Shakespeare" or " Arden Shakespeare" series. This is a recognized scholarly institution verifying the company's mission to do lesser done Shakespeare plays.

In summary AGAINST deleting this article:

  1. It follows WP criteria for articles in that its historical and ongoing activities are verifiable by noted outside sources.
  2. The article is patterned after other like theater company/festival articles, both in content and format, already on WP that are NOT being questioned for deletion.
  3. Its notable from a historical perspective in how long its been operating and it's connection to several communities in New Jersey.
  4. Contains notable achievements such as an award where its founder was recognized for service to the surrounding community, noted in two literary publications and recognized in peer award nominations.

I submit if that these other articles on theater groups are not being questioned for deletion and the "Past Productions" list has been edited down than there is no ground for this article on "Hudson Shakespeare Company" to be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbari7057 ( talk • contribs) 14:32, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

In Defense of this article] The original complaint that got this article listed for possible deletion was an “extensive listing of productions violates WP:NOT” The section has since been shortened to contain only 2 years worth of information. However, there are several live articles on Wikipedia that have extensive production lists and have not been singled out for deletion. The original productions section contained a listing of productions ranging from 1992-2014. As has been stated in a previous posting this article was designed to match up with other similar Wikipedia articles. Each play listing linked to a related Wikipedia page if it was applicable. To illustrate this point of existing Wikipedia articles on Shakespeare festivals having extensive production credits but have not been singled out for deletion, here is a list:

Each of these are live Wikipedia articles that have extensive production listings where some contain links to existing Wikipedia pages. So why the bias against this article Hudson Shakespeare Company? Why are the articles cited above allowed to have extensive production credits and are not being considered for deletion, while the Hudson Shakespeare Company article is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbari7057 ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

I haven't listened to the CHRY News clip yet, but since that is an Ontario radio station that would only show local coverage anyway. The references on the article itself are her own site, a reposted press release (the same one also posted on AllUnsigned, it looks like), the Rapdict wiki, an MTV artist page (these are submitted by the artists themselves or their PR people) which has no bio and just links tracks to buy, and a page that doesn't mention her at all but appears to be a DJ booking site. WP:MUSICBIO#11 is about being placed in rotation by a radio network, not a single station. — Gwalla | Talk 20:23, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply


  • Correction

Absolutely agreed, as I am PR for the artist I should have posted updated links our apologies on that negligence.

STATION NETWORKS that have had this artist in rotation: Bell Media (Which owned and operated Flow 93.5 at the time, and Virgin radio 99.9, Top 2 urban stations in Toronto playing hip-hop music) Blue Ant Media (Which operates AUX TV where the artist Music video was on rotation)

Being owned by a media conglomerate does not make a radio station a network. Radio networks air a programming schedule that's predominantly or entirely common to all stations in the network, and CBC Radio's services are the only ones in Canada which meet that criterion (the sports networks being irrelevant to NMUSIC.) Neither Flow 93.5 nor Virgin 99.9 is "networked" with any other station — sharing ownership with another station that has no common programming is not the same thing as being a network. And even if Flow or Virgin did count, you haven't provided any sources by which we can verify that she got playlisted on either of them (or on Aux.) Bearcat ( talk) 08:55, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Articles posted about artist that are neither: non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself:

-Artist covering "Share News": "One of Canada’s largest and most influential ethnic newspapers and by far the largest one serving the Black and Caribbean community in Toronto" - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KeyshaShare.jpg

-Artist covering "Pride" newspaper: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2index.jpg

As these were published before these news companies integrated to an online format the articles are not available, however I have just contacted both and will have versions of both articles made available for further examination to confirm they fit within the guidelines listed under * WP:MUSICBIO

This is not an artist that you Google and there are suggestions for other artist, as soon as this artist name is entered into web searches, many publications appear solidifying the artist credentials. Allunsigned is a notable publication amongst the hip-hop community, also is http://www.hip-hopvibe.com - which posts the artist's most recent releases but does not "report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories" this is simply a publication that chooses to post the artists' music and give their opinion on the artist and the music. JaniceRse ( talk) 22:27, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

If you're a PR representative for the artist, then per our conflict of interest policy you shouldn't be creating or editing an article about her at all. Wikipedia exists as a venue for neutral information about people who have passed our notability criteria, not as a venue for anybody to extend their own marketing campaigns. Bearcat ( talk) 08:45, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Nothing in this article as written passes WP:NMUSIC, and the sourcing that's been provided so far, either in the article or in this discussion, is purely promotional — not one shred of properly reliable source coverage has actually been provided so far. What JaniceRse is missing is the part of NMUSIC where it specifies that regardless of how many items on the notability checklist an article claims that the subject meets, it's not the assertion that gets her past NMUSIC, but the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to verify the assertion. If you have to rely on marketing/promotional materials to "source" the assertion, and cannot cite coverage in reliable independent sources which supports the claims, then the criterion has not been passed — precisely because marketing/promotional/PR teams tend to inflate claims of notability well beyond the actual reality (e.g. it got played one time on one radio station = it's a worldwide smash megahit!), no musician ever gets over an NMUSIC criterion until the claim that she gets over an NMUSIC criterion is properly sourced. And merely reposting a copy of the newspaper's cover to Commons does not satisfy our inclusion rules, either. And I already noted both the conflict of interest rule, and the reasons why it exists, that if you're her PR agent then you have exactly no business going anywhere near a Wikipedia article about her at all. Delete, without prejudice against recreation, by somebody independent of her marketing team, in the future if and when, and only if and when, she can actually be properly sourced as having passed one or more of the NMUSIC criteria.

Comment This is a misinterpretation of WP:CRYSTAL. Crystal is about unverifiable speculation. It allows for things that are almost certain to occur. While a newly signed 15-year old would indeed by Crystal, a midfielder who has been on the bench for 6 out of the last 7 weeks, is almost certain to make an appearance.
  • Comment - As this AfD clearly indicates, there is no need for such a stance. If players meet a guidline during a discussion then opinions change, if not, they are not notable and should be deleted. Fenix down ( talk) 07:41, 6 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - perhaps we can stop wasting everyone's time by creating articles for players who are yet to make a fully professional appearance. We create articles for people who are notable, we don't create articles about people who are not yet notable and then sit around waiting for them to become notable.

I think this is a hoax. I could find absolutely no support for this term at Google, Google Scholar or Google Books; the only thing that turned up in a search was this article. There apparently really was an Augustine Hay, an obscure Scottish cleric; the article claims he invented this analysis, but I could find nothing connecting him with this subject. Both articles were written by the same editor on the same day. I prodded them both, and a brand-new special-purpose-account editor turned up at this article within the hour, removing the prod and claiming that they could verify the information in the article.

  • Delete. Hoax. It's always fun when "sources" are given without even half of what's necessary to identify them. However, WorldCat returns absolutely no results for Currents in American Literature: The Roaring Twenties and Lost Generation and no valid results for The Evolution of Language Analyses. The only Google hits for "fispeven" outside of Wikipedia and mirrors are for FISPEven, the Fundación para la Investigación Clínica, epidemiológica y de salud pública en Venezuela (a Venezuelan public health organization). Well, I should say, almost the only hits; Google indexed a pdf entitled "fispeven analysis.pdf". However, that file is no longer available at its indexed location—which, for the record, was in the webspace of an individual user of the Pittsford Central School District (I decline to provide the link here because it is both broken and identifies the user in its URL).

Being a writer for a notable magazine can help gain coverage, but it's never a guarantee and being a potentially reliable source yourself (predominantly for the WH articles, I'd assume) would not mean that you pass notability guidelines either. Also, the popularity of her blog doesn't guarantee notability either- it would also make it more likely she'd gain coverage, but again- it's not a guarantee.

  • Keep The person is definitely notable. He's not a mere soldier or some lower-ranked terrorist. He's a leader of a notable Islamic extremist group.

There are a lot of sources in the article as it stands, but 90% of them are simply checklists of what Pak has done during his career. The article comes across as slightly promotional ("here are all the things he's done") with very little in the way of significant media coverage or personal information.

Most of the sources linked are respected/known design magazines of his subject therefore WP:GNG is met and most of his achievements are clearly notable. Possibly, the way the article written is causing a problem; which can be fixed.

Gnihton, as I mentioned to you in IRC, all that the article needs is a few more references that don't simply list Pak on a credits page and discuss him as an artist.

The reason for AfD nomination should be gone, if not, minimized by the changes until now. Have a look. Also keep in mind that some of the sources look like "front page" with no relation to the person of interest (for instance http://www.madinspain.com/) - do not get tricked by this, just scroll down a bit and you will see big chunks of data about the person of interest. Sadly, single page design is hype right now so it's not possible to link the exact (scroll) location of the single-page-design website to show the perfect reference. Should not be a problem though, since the sources are fitting to WP:GNG. -- Gnihton ( talk) 09:13, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Quantity does not equal quality. These are just not the kind of facts and citations that demonstrate a designer's notability. The interview with Awwwards is a good example. The brief header says he is a "multi-award winning designer" but the only awards they mention are the 2010 and 2012 Vimeo Awards, for which he was short-listed, but which he did not win. see also the web site touted by the author http://www.madinspain.com/ which has four sentences taken from a press release or resume, but without any solid facts, all hype. So it doesn't really matter that the site has no indicia of reliability. Much of the coverage cited in the article is incidental. Some are just images. It is possible that he might pass WP:NOTEBLP if good solid coverage in reliable independent secondary sources could be found, but this article does not do that. It depends on primary sources, mentions, related sources and unreliable sources. Currently it does not pass the guideline for creative individuals. -- Bejnar ( talk) 22:46, 6 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Bejnar really hit it on the nose. Unfortunatley if I'm running a google news search or a newspaper search and I can't find diddly squat, chances are that there's not significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. While you may be plenty of sources where he's been mentioned, they seem to be minor mentions and sourcing. Now, granted, Notability isn't temporary, but check the link Benjar gave above on our guideline for creative individuals Dusti *Let's talk!* 02:35, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Bejnar you have a lot of valid points on what you write, however I find your comment quite misleading in terms of presented data. For instance I'm not sure how you didn't saw the huge portion in http://www.madinspain.com/ - featuring the POI as one of the presenters of the event. Anyway, there is a lot of information floating around the web, I will gather them and keep improving the article. One of my problems is that this person is mentioned/interviewed/featured in a lot of books or magazines (which I have some of them physically) however I can't find any digital versions of those sources, which makes it impossible for me to cite them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnihton ( talk • contribs) 12:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
I did see the section that listed him as one of the thirteen presenters, it was not huge. Those were the five sentences that contained only conclusions, no facts, and read as "hype". That is not what we mean by substantive. -- Bejnar ( talk) 14:58, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Gnihton, there is an option for citing books in the "Cite" dropdown menu (select "Cite" when you are editing, then chose "cite book" from the "Templates" dropdown menu). The cite helper gives an ISBN lookup (meaning you don't have to enter all the info in manually). Primefac ( talk) 12:07, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP, relying exclusively on primary sources with not a shred of reliable source coverage in sight, of a rapper whose only substantive claim to passing WP:NMUSIC is an album that peaked #94 on the Billboard hip hop charts. That certainly satisfies the letter of NMUSIC #2, but even NMUSIC still requires the article to be properly sourced — it does not entitle anybody to keep a Wikipedia article that's this badly sourced just because they only barely squeak over one item on its checklist. I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if real, properly reliable sourcing can be added to salvage the article with, but he's not entitled to keep an article on here if this is the best he can do for sourcing. (See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guce, which was about the same person — the claim of notability and the quality of sourcing aren't significantly better here than they were there, but the article is still different enough from the original to not qualify for CSD G4.)

  • Delete - I think it is a WP:CRYSTAL violation and that this is exactly why we avoid creating articles on that basis. We assume there will be earthquakes, scientific evidence suggests that there will be earthquakes and we can use our psychic powers (what, you don't have those?) to deduce that there will be earthquakes. But even then, there's no guarantee any of them will be notable and while the year does start on 1 January, it might be April until somewhere has an earthquake notable enough for inclusion on the list. Just because it has happened before, doesn't mean it will happen again. 31 December 2014 might signal the start of the most tectonically stable period in Earth's history.

I'm not convinced that the subject passes WP:PROF, or even WP:GNG. The only claim I can see that might pass the professor test is the editorial role on Journal of Economic Behaviour..., but even then he's listed as "an" editor rather than the head of the editorial staff. I'm open to withdrawing this if notability can be demonstrated, but at present, it reads like a resume, not the biography of a notable academic. Yunshui  雲 水 14:17, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

See also the lengthy review of Gintis's 2009 book, The Bounds of Reason: Game Theory and the Unification of the Behavioral Sciences, in American Scientist [7]. The Bowles and Gintis book, Schooling in capitalist America: educational reform and the contradictions of economic life, has had 44 editions in 5 languages between 1976 and 2011 and over 8700 citations and Gingtis himself has an H-index of 66 on Google Scholar wnich is quite high.

There was never any such position as a "royal mistress of Bohemia", so it's not surprising that the table is half-empty, half-inaccurate. Concubines are not mistresses, and the article would hardly meet notability criteria more than the List of Bohemian queens' favourite dishes. Not everything "royal" deserves an article or a list. One can try to put up with articles such as List of consorts of Nevers, but there has to be a limit somewhere. I repeat, this was not an office. It had no "term started date" and no "term ended date". Being a mistress meant many different things to many different couples. Some were one-night adventures that resulted in a child, some were lifetime partners and influential confidantes. Some were not sexual, and some were purely sexual. It makes no sense to put all of these women into the same basket and treat them as office-holders. Surtsicna ( talk) 13:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Editors that have made few or no edits outside of this topic and that appear to be making arguments that would fall within WP:NOT and/or is based more upon a personal opinion/viewpoint may be considered less helpful to the discussion and potentially considered to have very little impact on the overall consensus. Please remember that AfD is WP:NOTAVOTE and that the final decision will be made based upon the arguments posed and whether or not they are seen to fall within the applicable guidelines."

Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:30, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The thing about citing WP:BLP1E is that sometimes that one event can actually have lasting repercussions. Knox has been the focus of relatively steady coverage since her debut. As others have pointed out, 1E is typically reserved for instances where the individual is known for something like "woman who can bench press a Buick with her teeth" or "Taylor Swift's ex-best friend from high school speaks out about being snubbed at this awards event"- basically people who are known for something that is all but guaranteed to be a blip in the pan and is extremely unlikely to gain substantial additional coverage once the initial fervor has died down. A wonderful example of this would be the Ikea Monkey. In this particular incident Knox has gained a LOT of coverage and while admittedly the coverage isn't as overwhelmingly large now as it was when this all hit the net back in March, it's still fairly steady and regular. Regardless of how she got media attention, Knox is still getting attention in the media on a regular basis. ( [16], [17]) The reality series hasn't aired yet as far as I know, but she did get coverage for that and there is the documentary series- which has released and has received quite a bit of coverage. The article does need some editing overall for content, tone, and so on, especially as far as dates go- I just noticed that there aren't any dates for when a lot of things happened, so that'll need to be fixed. I also recommend semi-protecting the article because I can absolutely guarantee that this will be a vandalism magnet once people on certain sites realize that it's been re-created. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:12, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I think the conditions of WP:BLP1E are not met here. Given Knox's own writing and public appearances, and the recent documentary, I don't see her as someone who "remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual". She seems to be parlaying the attention from the outing incident into a sort of career. I think there's enough secondary source coverage to establish notability. GabrielF ( talk) 05:29, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep There are adequate reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Furthermore, as Ms. Knox continues to pursue a career, including now the documentary, it seems she has declined to remain a low-profile individual as required by WP:BLP1E.-- danntm T C 06:13, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete There is no biography to write. It's news. Details of her life are problematic including using her name. If we had an article on porn stars working their way through college, she may be mentioned as one in that article but there is too much privacy invasion and WP:BLP1E for a biography. There are also WP:ONEEVENT and WP:AVOIDVICTIM if editors contort themselves past BLP1E (note, ONEEVENT is different than BLP1E). One day she may graduate and wish this to all be in her past yet we will immortalize this bio permanently as prurient sideshow that is not encyclopedic. That's as pure a violation in both the spirit and letter of the BLP policy and guidelines as any. WP is not a random collection of information. -- DHeyward ( talk) 19:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Be a little careful about saying that we should delete this based upon speculation that Knox may want this removed one day. I know that this isn't the only thing in your argument, but until Knox herself asks for its deletion we should not automatically assume that she will want this removed based upon the idea that she will see her past as personally harmful for her career. To date she has not said anything that would show that she would try to hide or obscure her past once she completes her degree. I'm not saying that we shouldn't potentially protect people or respect their wishes, just that we aren't trying to provide protection where the person has not requested any and where it could also potentially be detrimental to Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Our BLP policies are not based on requests by the subjects. Avoiding harm is one of the key tenets. That a bio of a young adult filled with titillating and prurient detail that essentially exist because of doxxing should not be what Wikipedia biographies are about. There are countless college-aged women that work in some form of adult entertainment yet have no bio because they haven't been doxxed. People interested in the real name and university address of females that work in strip clubs or perform in adult movies can find other sources. We don't need to immortalize doxxed identities here and that is the only reason she stands out from the countless others. It is not empowering her by immortalizing her doxxing nor is it empowering for young women to learn that once their real name is known, WP will create and maintain her link to a stage name simply because we can. If she didn't want anonymity, she wouldn't have a stage name. It's that simple, really. -- DHeyward ( talk) 08:15, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Initially she wanted to keep her real name hidden and we respected that in the first incarnation of the article. However since that point Knox has come out with a documentary series where she releases her real name. Also, whether or not the whole scenario (and the article) is/was empowering for Knox shouldn't be a reason for deletion- we have to base it on notability. Sometimes people do things that we as editors find personally unappealing or degrading and sometimes those people gain notability for that fact. We need to be very, very careful that we aren't removing things just because we think that one day Miriam Weeks will suddenly become ashamed of the things that she did under the name of Belle Knox and because we personally find the events distasteful. This can actually be seen as a form of censorship. Well meaning censorship, but still censorship. Most of the times we do this without even thinking about whether or not what we're doing is ultimately beneficial to Wikipedia and the individual or whether or not it's censorship. While no, we shouldn't have stuff just to be salacious, neither should we be white knights in a situation like this. There has already been harm done, but not by Wikipedia and we need to look at whether the Wikipedia article would do harm in this situation, especially when you consider that the entire scenario has been widely reported on and the woman herself has taken the resulting media coverage as a platform to talk about various applicable issues. Basically, what I want to make sure is that in trying to protect her from potential harm that we aren't actually perpetuating harm ourselves by saying that because all of this happened, that obviously she'll regret all of this later (stigmatizing everything) and that she needs to be protected from herself as well as from the world at large. We also need to not kid ourselves: removing this won't really do much for her in the long run. This has already popped up in at least one academic journal (as a focus on media headlines) so this is something that is more than newspapers reporting on someone refusing to provide flowers to a gay couple's wedding or someone quitting their media job because they want to go run a pot shop. We need to avoid harm, yes, but we also need to look at whether or not this is notable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:47, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • I believe your argument is another strawman recreation of what I said, but fails to address the fundamental. Picking out women that have chosen to use sex work as a means to support their education is not new. It is not about how editors feel about sex work, it's about contributing to a culture of shaming individuals that have chosen it. This article doesn't exist without her real name. Her own assessment, I believe, is that doxxing has ruined her life. WP is not a random collection of information and information about a single college woman that uses adult entertainment to fund their college career is one person among thousands. She is not notable because she is a college student doing sex work as there are literally tens of thousands that do so. She is in the news because they discovered her identity and affiliation. Using that as a reason for inclusion is harmful. She is not known for her sex work, rather she is known because of a "name and shame" mentality by the press. WP need not be party to that type of sensationalism. This is not Jerry Springer. -- DHeyward ( talk) 09:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I'm broadly with Tokyogirl79 on this. Belle Knox is steadily accumulating reliable sources, showing that we are past the WP:BLP1E moment; this is not a single-event article but about a person who has for better or worse become well-known, even notorious, and is now developing a media career which is being reported sufficiently to prove it is notable in WP's terms in its own right.

We were right to exercise caution in the early days, especially while it remained to be seen how she would handle her newfound notoriety. Since then, she's apparently chosen to embrace it and had some success building on it. She's notable now, even if the coverage of her outpaces her actual notability. Of course, sensation will continue to swirl around her, and we'll have to use judgment about what goes in the article. But the article should stay. Lagrange 613 03:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Knox would still fail the specialized WP:PORNSBIO test, but I believe clearly passes the general notability guidelines. The argument that this is a passing news story simply doesn't hold water - 6 months later and news stories involving Knox in major media still exist, divorced from the details of the initial story, now more than 6 months ago.

This article about a U.S. judge was speedily deleted and restored after discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 September 19. Because some in that discussion voiced concerns about notability, I'm submitting the artice to AfD to decide this. I myself am neutral.  Sandstein  12:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep: I'm not intimately familiar with the intricacies of the U.S. federal court system and there was some debate about whether or not a federal magistrate judge meets the criteria of WP:NPOL. In simplest terms, it is a judge position in the federal court system, therefore NPOL is met. Looking into it further, we have a Category:United States magistrate judges, indicating to me that it's a position which we consider notable. However, it doesn't appear to me that Brennan is notable beyond this, so this is the weakest of weak !votes. Keep in mind also that this wouldn't have come to AfD at all if not for a certain admin's gross misunderstanding of WP:CSD#G10 rationalizing nuking an article for containing the slightest of BLP vios.

  • WP:NPOL doesn't confer an automatic presumption of notability on all judges — in fact, it has nothing to do with judges at all, and instead the relevant criteria by which a judge has to be measured is WP:JUDGE. According to our article on magistrate judges, however, it's an administrative "junior judge" role which presides over the lower functions of the district court (e.g. bail hearings, search warrants, misdemeanor cases, etc.), so that the "senior" district court judges can concentrate on the more important and notable functions of the system — so a magistrate judge would not automatically meet WP:JUDGE just for holding a magistrate judgeship, but instead would qualify for a Wikipedia article only if you could write it substantively enough, and source it reliably enough, to get him over WP:GNG. But with only one non-primary source here, and with the article being little more than a prosified reiteration of his résumé, that test has not been met. I do agree that it didn't qualify for speedy under the criterion that was cited, when the offending text could simply have been removed from the article, but as written it is still a delete. No prejudice against recreation in the future if (a) the quality of sourcing can be improved, and/or (b) he gets promoted to a more senior role that would actually pass WP:JUDGE. Bearcat ( talk) 19:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • I disagree. POLITICIAN expressly says that it applies to judges. JUDGE, which has yet to be accepted as a guideline, expressly says that it does not affect the notability of judges who are notable under POLITICIAN. Either way, if a judge satisfies POLITICIAN, he is notable. James500 ( talk) 13:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. James500 is right to say that NPOL applies to judges. But magistrate judges really aren't judges. They are very low on the judicial food chain and, it seems, do not even give final judgment in cases. They carry out administrative and interlocutory functions under the delegated authority of (actual) judges. There are over 500 in the US. They do not have life tenure, which (I understand) federal judges are constitutionally guaranteed. So applying NPOL to them would be a stretch, and a misconstruction of the guideline. As for the GNG, the closest thing to significant coverage is this, found by Cunard at the DRV. I don't think this brief article on his appointment is significant enough for the purposes of the notability of a living person.-- Mkativerata ( talk) 20:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Autobiographical. Extensively edited by single-purpose-account who appears to also be the subject. Have tried to explain nature of problems and pointed out they mustn't edit or create an article on themselves. They are trying extremely hard to produce references (using copyvio uploads of newspaper scans!) but my own searches aren't producing anything to show independent notability. I can't read the language in the newspaper scans (and won't even try to guess which of the Indian languages it is).

It doesn't pass WP:NJournals and in general I think it's a bad idea to have articles on individual predatory open-access journals (there are so many of them and they play an insignificant role in real science). If its publisher could be shown to be notable then it could be useful to have a redirect from this title to the publisher's article, as a way of warning editors that publications in the journal are likely unreliable, but the publisher article currently doesn't exist, its inclusion in Beall's list alone is insufficient for notability, and that's an inadequate reason to keep a separate article on the journal. — David Eppstein ( talk) 15:52, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

@ KarakasaObake: NamUS contains 18,000 missing persons cases, and that is for the United States alone. The argument should not be " look at these other 59", but "look at these other 17,900." VQuakr ( talk) 02:18, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
@ VQuakr: The obvious difference between the 59 pages we have, and the 17,900 pages we don't, is that the 59 pages are for cases that were the subject of significant media interest, which invariably led to a a large, organized search; a widespread feeling of fear in the area; candlelight vigils; etc. It's the reaction to the disappearance that makes it notable. I feel like this is akin to an argument that we shouldn't have an article on The Rape of the Lock because there are a hundred million poems we don't have pages for, and besides, people get their hair cut all the time. KarakasaObake ( talk) 19:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
We have different inclusion criteria for literature than for events. WP:NEVENT does not mention vigils, search parties, or feelings of fear and for good reason - there are many, many more than 59 vigils per decade worldwide. VQuakr ( talk) 20:02, 24 September 2014 (UTC) reply
@ VQuakr:No, WP:NEVENT doesn't mention vigils or search parties, but it does mention depth of coverage, duration of coverage, and diversity of sources, all of which this case has. And, quoting directly from WP:NEVENT: "As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources. The disappearance of a person would fall under this guideline if law enforcement agencies deemed it likely to have been caused by criminal conduct, regardless of whether a perpetrator is identified or charged. If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable."

For people close to UVA or who otherwise feel particular kinship to this young woman, this may seem callous, but fundamentally, in ten years, regardless of outcome, no one is likely to care about this at all. To editors pointing out similarly trivial articles, please remember WP:OTHERSTUFF -- editors like myself in favor of deleting this article would probably be in favor of deleting all your similar examples for the same reasons, but this discussion is limited to this article. If we needed to put all vaguely similar content on trial everytime we had a deletion discussion we'd never get anywhere.
The only way that I might consider this article notable and keep-worthy is if, somewhere along the line, the reason for her disappearance turns out to be especially notable -- abducted by aliens, or ISIS, or something similarly unlikely. I don't see any point in keeping the article around until that notability is established, however -- it can always be resurrected if it turns out that something truly distinguishes this girl from all the other missing persons cases out there that by luck or tragedy don't get the same kind of media coverage. Eniagrom ( talk) 10:56, 25 September 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Notability isn't the same as interesting or weird or whatever.

*Weak Keep for now. It has the intense and widespread coverage similar to other Missing White Female cases which have been found to be notable in AFDs. Obviously one cannot use the time machine to travel to the future and see how lasting the effects and coverage were. We could revisit in a couple of years and delete it if the coverage fades quickly. It should not be added to the Missing White Female Syndrome article unless reliable sources call it an instance of such disproportionate coverage.

  • Delete (changed from Weak Keep). It is a news story, and this is an encyclopedia, not "Top Stories Of The Week." If the case becomes as notable as the killing of Bobby Franks by Leopold and Loeb, if laws are passed as a result ("Hannah's Law"), if it is discussed in legal textbooks, if books and movies (like "In Cold Blood" ) are written about it, or if there is a notable and precedent-setting trial, then we can create an encyclopedic article.

It's not clear if she passes WP:ACADEMIC (although in humanities the situation is seldom clear-cut) and there are serious potential WP:BLP violations in the article due to lack of sources combined with mostly negative statements. I've googled around a bit, but couldn't find much in the way of sources about her, so I think it's prudent to delete the whole article. JMP EAX ( talk) 00:43, 21 September 2014 (UTC) reply

I should add that the same very problematic (without a citation) BLP statements about her are made in Paris 8 University. JMP EAX ( talk) 00:51, 21 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Also I found [20], which is an article about Judith Miller suing Élisabeth Roudinesco (the only source cited in this article) for defamation, although the lawsuit/article is about stuff Roudinesco wrote about Lacan, not focused on Judith Miller herself.

local festival. extensive listing of productions violates WP:NOT. but even if it were removed, there still isn othing for ntoability except routine notices) DGG ( talk ) 05:54, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply


[In Defense of this article] The article is patterned after other similar articles on Wikipedia such as " Hudson Warehouse", " Woodward Shakespeare Festival", and " Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival" and many other similar articles that speak of a theater or festival performing Shakespeare (see /info/en/?search=Category:Shakespeare_festivals).

How are all of these other articles that are similar in content and format, OK to remain on WP and this article isn't? All of these other articles on Shakespeare theaters or festivals list the same things that this article does such as

  • organizational history
  • founder/leader information
  • past productions
  • where they perform.

The list of productions has been edited down to only include the last two years. This can be further modified if need be. What is the criteria for a section like this?

As for being notable, (i.e worthy of inclusion on WP) one of WP's criteria is that the group/person/event be recognized by other verifiable sources. The article contains several references to outside publications and city entities that recognize what the group has done such as the "Connecticut Post" and the "Jersey Journal". The company is notable from a historical perspective in that its been operating for nearly 25 years in New Jersey and is affiliated with several communities within New Jersey and also Stratford, CT. The first two companies listed above, "Hudson Warehouse" and "Woodward Shakespeare", have been operating for 10 years. How are these groups MORE notable from a historical perspective then this group that has been around twice as long? How are they MORE notable as they list the same type of content, as this articles does, and again not being questioned for deletion?

Further, there is a section in the article itself which lists "Notable Achievements". They include:

  1. The company's founder was recognized for contributions to his community through the Hudson Shakespeare Company by the "Jersey Journal", the main newspaper of this section of New Jersey.
  2. Several members of the company were published in a book in 2014 whose subject matter is Shakespeare and Theater.
  3. Award nominations in a long running New York City theater festival.
  4. One of its productions was highlighted in the New Cambridge press edition of "Two Noble Kinsmen". a scholarly edition of individual Shakespeare plays similar to the "Penguin Shakespeare" or " Arden Shakespeare" series. This is a recognized scholarly institution verifying the company's mission to do lesser done Shakespeare plays.

In summary AGAINST deleting this article:

  1. It follows WP criteria for articles in that its historical and ongoing activities are verifiable by noted outside sources.
  2. The article is patterned after other like theater company/festival articles, both in content and format, already on WP that are NOT being questioned for deletion.
  3. Its notable from a historical perspective in how long its been operating and it's connection to several communities in New Jersey.
  4. Contains notable achievements such as an award where its founder was recognized for service to the surrounding community, noted in two literary publications and recognized in peer award nominations.

I submit if that these other articles on theater groups are not being questioned for deletion and the "Past Productions" list has been edited down than there is no ground for this article on "Hudson Shakespeare Company" to be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbari7057 ( talk • contribs) 14:32, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

In Defense of this article] The original complaint that got this article listed for possible deletion was an “extensive listing of productions violates WP:NOT” The section has since been shortened to contain only 2 years worth of information. However, there are several live articles on Wikipedia that have extensive production lists and have not been singled out for deletion. The original productions section contained a listing of productions ranging from 1992-2014. As has been stated in a previous posting this article was designed to match up with other similar Wikipedia articles. Each play listing linked to a related Wikipedia page if it was applicable. To illustrate this point of existing Wikipedia articles on Shakespeare festivals having extensive production credits but have not been singled out for deletion, here is a list:

Each of these are live Wikipedia articles that have extensive production listings where some contain links to existing Wikipedia pages. So why the bias against this article Hudson Shakespeare Company? Why are the articles cited above allowed to have extensive production credits and are not being considered for deletion, while the Hudson Shakespeare Company article is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbari7057 ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Having music available for sale on Amazon or iTunes, or anywhere else for that matter, does not confer notability per WP:MUSICBIO. I cannot confirm that any of the links posted in support by User:JaniceRse qualify as significant coverage in reliable third-party sources: AllUnsigned posts press releases (and says so on their About page), the first Caribbean Camera link is unavailable (even on the Wayback Machine) and the second (also offline, but archived) only includes her name in a list of players at a "celebrity basketball" event for charity and says nothing of substance about her, djmelboogie.wordpress.com is a DJ's personal blog, elbo.ws is unavailable and unarchived, Rapdict is a publicly editable wiki, bigmouthsonline.com appears to be occupied by a domain squatter (and that page is not archived) but the description on their Twitter calls it a "blog company for interviews", UrbanologyMag is down for repairs (I'll check back in a couple of days when they're supposed to be back up), and CityOnMyBack appears to be a promotional blog mostly consisting of YouTube videos and press releases. I haven't listened to the CHRY News clip yet, but since that is an Ontario radio station that would only show local coverage anyway. The references on the article itself are her own site, a reposted press release (the same one also posted on AllUnsigned, it looks like), the Rapdict wiki, an MTV artist page (these are submitted by the artists themselves or their PR people) which has no bio and just links tracks to buy, and a page that doesn't mention her at all but appears to be a DJ booking site. WP:MUSICBIO#11 is about being placed in rotation by a radio network, not a single station. — Gwalla | Talk 20:23, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply


  • Correction

Absolutely agreed, as I am PR for the artist I should have posted updated links our apologies on that negligence.

STATION NETWORKS that have had this artist in rotation: Bell Media (Which owned and operated Flow 93.5 at the time, and Virgin radio 99.9, Top 2 urban stations in Toronto playing hip-hop music) Blue Ant Media (Which operates AUX TV where the artist Music video was on rotation)

Being owned by a media conglomerate does not make a radio station a network. Radio networks air a programming schedule that's predominantly or entirely common to all stations in the network, and CBC Radio's services are the only ones in Canada which meet that criterion (the sports networks being irrelevant to NMUSIC.) Neither Flow 93.5 nor Virgin 99.9 is "networked" with any other station — sharing ownership with another station that has no common programming is not the same thing as being a network. And even if Flow or Virgin did count, you haven't provided any sources by which we can verify that she got playlisted on either of them (or on Aux.) Bearcat ( talk) 08:55, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Articles posted about artist that are neither: non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself:

-Artist covering "Share News": "One of Canada’s largest and most influential ethnic newspapers and by far the largest one serving the Black and Caribbean community in Toronto" - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KeyshaShare.jpg

-Artist covering "Pride" newspaper: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2index.jpg

As these were published before these news companies integrated to an online format the articles are not available, however I have just contacted both and will have versions of both articles made available for further examination to confirm they fit within the guidelines listed under * WP:MUSICBIO

This is not an artist that you Google and there are suggestions for other artist, as soon as this artist name is entered into web searches, many publications appear solidifying the artist credentials. Allunsigned is a notable publication amongst the hip-hop community, also is http://www.hip-hopvibe.com - which posts the artist's most recent releases but does not "report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories" this is simply a publication that chooses to post the artists' music and give their opinion on the artist and the music. JaniceRse ( talk) 22:27, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

If you're a PR representative for the artist, then per our conflict of interest policy you shouldn't be creating or editing an article about her at all. Wikipedia exists as a venue for neutral information about people who have passed our notability criteria, not as a venue for anybody to extend their own marketing campaigns. Bearcat ( talk) 08:45, 30 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Nothing in this article as written passes WP:NMUSIC, and the sourcing that's been provided so far, either in the article or in this discussion, is purely promotional — not one shred of properly reliable source coverage has actually been provided so far. What JaniceRse is missing is the part of NMUSIC where it specifies that regardless of how many items on the notability checklist an article claims that the subject meets, it's not the assertion that gets her past NMUSIC, but the quality of the sourcing that can be provided to verify the assertion. If you have to rely on marketing/promotional materials to "source" the assertion, and cannot cite coverage in reliable independent sources which supports the claims, then the criterion has not been passed — precisely because marketing/promotional/PR teams tend to inflate claims of notability well beyond the actual reality (e.g. it got played one time on one radio station = it's a worldwide smash megahit!), no musician ever gets over an NMUSIC criterion until the claim that she gets over an NMUSIC criterion is properly sourced. And merely reposting a copy of the newspaper's cover to Commons does not satisfy our inclusion rules, either. And I already noted both the conflict of interest rule, and the reasons why it exists, that if you're her PR agent then you have exactly no business going anywhere near a Wikipedia article about her at all. Delete, without prejudice against recreation, by somebody independent of her marketing team, in the future if and when, and only if and when, she can actually be properly sourced as having passed one or more of the NMUSIC criteria.

Previously a BLP PROD - I still think it is. The references are his official site and I believe a site that's got some of his scultptures. He does do awesome work, I have to admit - but a google news search reveals nothing. I've expanded to "Devon Dorrity Sculpture" and that seems to only pull his site and some tumblr hits.

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 based a speculative claim that he would play for SC Telstar in the future. The inadmissibility of notability based potential future appearances remains one of the strongest and longest standing consensuses of the WikiProject football.

Comment This is a misinterpretation of WP:CRYSTAL. Crystal is about unverifiable speculation. It allows for things that are almost certain to occur. While a newly signed 15-year old would indeed by Crystal, a midfielder who has been on the bench for 6 out of the last 7 weeks, is almost certain to make an appearance.
  • Comment - As this AfD clearly indicates, there is no need for such a stance. If players meet a guidline during a discussion then opinions change, if not, they are not notable and should be deleted. Fenix down ( talk) 07:41, 6 October 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - perhaps we can stop wasting everyone's time by creating articles for players who are yet to make a fully professional appearance. We create articles for people who are notable, we don't create articles about people who are not yet notable and then sit around waiting for them to become notable. Simply note the person and bring it to Wikipedia a few weeks later, if they actually appear. St★lwart 111 06:50, 6 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Fispeven analysis

I think this is a hoax. I could find absolutely no support for this term at Google, Google Scholar or Google Books; the only thing that turned up in a search was this article. There apparently really was an Augustine Hay, an obscure Scottish cleric; the article claims he invented this analysis, but I could find nothing connecting him with this subject. Both articles were written by the same editor on the same day. I prodded them both, and a brand-new special-purpose-account editor turned up at this article within the hour, removing the prod and claiming that they could verify the information in the article. I still think it's a hoax. Taking it to the community to decide. MelanieN ( talk) 01:32, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Hoax. It's always fun when "sources" are given without even half of what's necessary to identify them. However, WorldCat returns absolutely no results for Currents in American Literature: The Roaring Twenties and Lost Generation and no valid results for The Evolution of Language Analyses. The only Google hits for "fispeven" outside of Wikipedia and mirrors are for FISPEven, the Fundación para la Investigación Clínica, epidemiológica y de salud pública en Venezuela (a Venezuelan public health organization). Well, I should say, almost the only hits; Google indexed a pdf entitled "fispeven analysis.pdf". However, that file is no longer available at its indexed location—which, for the record, was in the webspace of an individual user of the Pittsford Central School District (I decline to provide the link here because it is both broken and identifies the user in its URL). The overwhelmingly likely situation is that this, and the related article Augustine Hay, are literally things made up in school one day.

@ Squeamish Ossifrage: Thanks for the excellent research. Is this "hoax season" at Wikipedia? I've caught two in two days. (You might enjoy this one as well.)

  • Delete - Nothing to establish notability, does not meet WP:BIO. Search for sources (web, news, journal) did not find anything other than self-published, social media, and directory listings. Tgeairn ( talk) 15:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. No prejudice against recreation in the future if enough properly reliable sourcing can actually be found to get her over WP:GNG — but she's not entitled to keep an article on Wikipedia that's referenced solely to her own self-published website, or that's formatted like a résumé. Especially in a WP:BLP, notability and reliable sourcing has to be demonstrated immediately, and is not something that you get to claim an exemption from just because the article is "new". Bearcat ( talk) 18:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as per nominator and above. Did numerous sweeps of US news sources, psychology sources, didn't find anything that might meet WP:GNG, although if Wikipedia is a cult, she might be able to extract us from it.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 23:22, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. Ebrio is a common word in Spanish, so all the hits for the word "drunk" are masking any for the name of the beverage or mixed drink. In the Spanish Wikipedia, es:Ebrio redirects to es:Ebriedad. If this is a bottled or canned drink, it might be easier to find links by searching for the name of the manufacturer, or by restricting one's search to beverage industry periodicals.
