The result was delete. Several editors mounted a spirited defense. However, their arguments all come down to "there's nothing wrong with this, why delete it?", which is equivalent to
WP:ILIKEIT. On the other hand, the editors arguing for deletion have polic-based arguments, the most important one being the absence of reliable sources independent of the subject. No prejudice to creation of a redirect to another article if a suitable target becomes available, which currently doesn't seem to be the case.

This newsletter seems to have had only twenty issues - lasting less than a year - and a self-claimed circulation of just 2,000. However, there doesn't seem to be any claim of notability, or indeed any reason why it could be notable.

- Comment The small circulation and small number of issues are irrelevant: it was a publication aimed at law enforcement not the general public. The publication is mentioned in various books on the ritual satanic abuse scare of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Mary D Young's The Day Care Ritual Abuse Moral Panic, James T. Richardson and Joel Best's The Satanism scare, and Jean La Fontaine's Speak of the Devil (as well as skeptic and wiccan publications), as having played a significant part in disseminating claims of abuse. However coverage of the newsletter is not very detailed and probably doesn't meet
WP:GNG, so the topic may be better covered in an article on Larry Jones, on Jones's Cult Crime Impact Network, or in a more general article on the satanic panic. --

- Do not delete The number of publications of any newsletter is irrelevant but even more to the point the police officers who created the newsletters -- utilizing tax payer money to do so -- still have living members which continue their efforts to undermine religious freedom in the United States. These newsletters are not only historic documents, they are also evidence of criminal activity on the behalf of law enforcement officers, and as such a Wikipedia article dedicated to the newsletters is wholly useful and informative to researchers uitilizing Wikipedia.
- Remember: More information is better than less. One must review Wikipedia articles from the viewpoint of researchers searching for information, not from the viewpoint of editors looking to "clean up" articles.
- There are zero legitimate reasons to delete this history and numerous reasons why this -- and related articles covering obscure extremist newsletters -- are wholly encyclopedic. Also there have been anonymous individuals who have attempted to delete this article before when some of the people involved in the newsletters later sought public office, and evidences the Theocratic ideologies of said individuals, to the point where the article was on the verge of being placed for protection.

- Okay, this is just absurd. FILE 18 was an excellent example of the "Satanic Panic" that swept through the low-IQ population of America in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and there is no legitimate reason to remove the Wikipedia entry for the newsletter; there are excellent reasons to keep it. The chief reason to keep the entry in Wikipedia is obvious: people studying and researching the "Satanic Panic" era need to have as many examples of the symptoms as possible to get a overview of the issue, and FILE 18 is one of the best examples of that hysteria. --

- Comment, although impressed by the enthuisiastic support for this article by a number of editors their comments are not that helpful for editors not familar with this subject. That said, based on the present 6 references the article does not appear notable. 4 of them are to File 18 issues and 1 is to the journal's creator. The remaining 1 may be okay (4 - The Satanism Scare, James T. Richardson and Joel Best, Transaction Publishers, 1991, page 194). However, a rudimentary google search brings up some sources that do appear to bring the article to
WP:GNG. For example:
[4],
[5] (refers to another book In Pursuit of Satan),
[6] although it may be appropriate to have an article on Larry Jones instead, with a redirect from File 18.

- Leave it alone The article is fine as it is. Anyone who Googles "File 18" is directed to this page as the #1 search result. We don't want to limit suitable and legitimate research references or make researchers take extra steps when doing book reports or otherwise following Kindle links (which are in the Kindle version of the Law Enforcement Guide on Occult Crime issued by the State of California under
Courken George Deukmejian.) We don't want to break links to legitimate research materials, and we don't want to redirect File 18 to pages which discuss books which mention the newsletter.
- Also these discussions should have taken place in the File 18 Talk: page, the editor requesting deletion should not have done so without first discussing it in the relevant article's Talk: page. Wikipedia sets guidlines however they are not "carved in stone," however discussing major edits and changes usually starts in an article's Talk: page.

- Please be aware that if the article is deleted, then restoring it can be seen as disruptive behavior. AfD restorations should go through the deleting administrator (whomever that will be) and if they refuse, then it should go through
deletion review. Restoring it without going through those steps will make it extremely likely that the page will be deleted via
WP:G4 and repeated recreations can lead to you getting temporarily or permanently blocked as a disruptive editor. You also need to take into account that
WP:ITSUSEFUL is not a valid reason to keep an article, nor is
WP:ITSPOPULAR,
WP:GHITS, or anything else at
Wikipedia:Subjective importance and
Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. The long and short is that it's extremely hard to assert notability for anything even remotely fringe on Wikipedia unless it's something that has gained mainstream attention and received a ton of attention from mainstream media sources (NYT, etc). Being popular or well-known does not always translate into coverage in places that Wikipedia considers reliable and unfortunately most of the websites that cover fringe subjects are considered unreliable per Wikipedia's guidelines. I know that when it comes to books there are at least a dozen
WP:SPS that are highly, highly respected and have huge followings, yet are considered unreliable per Wikipedia's rules. This is because while there are some legit looking SPS out there, there are also a lot of SPS out there that aren't reliable for several reasons. (One site posted unverified rumors that ended up being false, another ended up being a shill for authors/publishers, and another openly plagiarized several different obscure websites, and that's just the start.) That's the problem with anything that is considered fringe and the thing is, Wikipedia is not here to make up for the lack of coverage in reliable sources. I know this sounds harsh and there have been times that I wish it could be otherwise, but keep rationales must be argued based on policy and rules have only grown more strict over the years. Multiple projects have been pretty solidly affected by this but none so hard as the fringe and literary/publishing sectors.
Colapeninsula and
Coolabahapple both made a good argument for its inclusion somewhere, so arguments should follow that rationale as well. I'm not arguing for the article's deletion, just that right now what you two are doing is not really going to help the article out any. You're making arguments based on passion rather than policy, which won't entirely help much, and threatening to re-create it if the article is not kept is not really going to help things either.

WP:ITSIMPORTANT. There's a complete paucity of relevant sources and the keep arguments aren't really asserting notability, but personal belief of importance. For an obscure newsletter that was published for a short period by a small audience 25 years ago needs quite a bit more than this to aspire to notability.

- I'm not seeing any legitimate reason for the deletion request other than personal opinions, though, while at the same time there is a great deal of history behind the creation of the newsletters and the background of the individuals who created the newsletters. The newsletters are wholly informational and part of researcher background in to so-called
Satanic Panic episodes.
- I can't imagine why anyone would want to delete such information without good cause, reducing researcher findings. It was, in part, the creation of these religious newsletters utilizing tax dollars which prompted the State of California creating the Occult Crime guide for law enforcement officers (
http://www.holysmoke.org/report/index.htm and other locations on the 'web ) which is intimately tied to File 18 history. That's not opinion, that's just the history of the File 18 newsletter which is entirely relevant to the cycles of "Satanic Panics" in the United States. I'm not sure why any serious editor would even consider the article for deletion.

- The fact that the article is informative, useful, and is linked to in the real world dictates that the page continue lacking any serious reason to remove it. This isn't an encyclopedia which has limited room, this is an open-ended encyclopedia which seeks to provide researchers and the curious information about all subjects.
- Rule of thumb: More information is better than less. We seek to be encyclopedic while being useful, that's what :encyclopedias are. We don't limit information just because someone doesn't like it for whatever reason.

Per

List of Muslims and

- The main argument isn't that the idea of being an only child isn't notable, but that mostly this would be so incredibly large that it would be unwieldy. Right now this list only includes people well known in the United States and even then it's an extremely short list. This has the potential to have hundreds upon thousands of names on it, which will be an extremely bulky and unwieldy list. That's not even including the number of names that could yet be added to it- ie, the people who are notable but do not yet have pages or have yet to achieve notability. I agree that this would work better as a category rather than a list, since that's more easily navigated.

- Another thing to add is that the list of Christians and list of Muslims pages have been split into many subsections because one basic page would just be too big. If you want to try to split all of these into individual lists then that could potentially work, but that will take a lot of time. It's not something that could be done in a few days since you'd have to go through thousands upon thousands of articles- and those are just the ones where the article helpfully labels themselves as an only child. Right now a category is the best way to do this.

- Delete/make into a category. I'm adding names to the list, partially to highlight how infeasible this would be as a page and not a category. A search on Wikipedia for "only child" brings up almost 100,000 hits. Even if we discard half of those as false hits of one type or another and then another half as otherwise unusable then that would still leave about 20,000-25,000 articles that could be listed in this article. That's just too unwieldy size-wise. I think that there's merit in having this in some sort of searchable format, but a page isn't the right solution to this issue.

There are dozens of lists on Wikipedia that have entries exceeding one thousand. But those lists of course cover specific subjects, and there are many people out there interested enough in those subjects who wouldn't mind maintaining and cataloging those entries in a readable format.

As noted, this is rather common, and while we will note in someone's article the siblings they are known to have, we don't typically go out of our way to note that they had no siblings, a fact that may not have had any demonstrable impact on their life and may be for far too many reasons of varying significance to make comparisons meaningful at all.

- But I do want to note that the armchair sociology that Wikipedia users wield is alarming. Statements like being an only child is a non-defining trait, when there are stereotypes about only children that they have to overcome. Middle children have stereotypes, oldest children have stereotypes, orphans have stereotypes that they all have to put up with in life. A stereotype already means that a person is growing up differently than someone else. It's contradictory to say that birth orders are a non-defining trait when there are Wikipedia articles dedicated to if and how it affects a child's upbringing. Or that users think twenty percent occurrence means something is common rather than uncommon.
- The non-expert opinions that Wikipedia users swing to dismiss a person's upbringing is very alarming for a page that advocates NPOV. MarnetteD notes that there are examples of people that don't fit a pattern. But you just used the word "pattern", so if it's a non-defining trait, why does a "pattern" even exist? Exceptions don't prove anything, because if that were the case we could easily dismiss the claims of many people about socio-economic disadvantages in their education and careers because we can point out people from their background who became rich or successful or whatever, therefore the cries of "quit whining and don't make excuses", which is fine when it comes from someone who had the same upbringing, but really insulting when it comes from a person who has no first-hand experience of what that person is going through.
- So, I agree with the point about "Some topics (e.g. a list of all people from a particular country who have Wikipedia articles) are so broad that a list would be unmanageably long and effectively unmaintainable". From a NPOV, this supports deletion of the list because it indeed will get way too big. But there's nothing in that item that asks "justify the credibility of the list with your POV". Unpleasant.

- Your comment seems to imply you think a non-expert editor's judgment to include something should be given more weight than a non-expert editor's judgment to not include it, which is curious. At any rate, those "stereotypes" all go to why "
only child" has an article (note we otherwise have one on the concept of
birth order generally). It does not follow that we must list together everyone with an article who was an only child or that we must assume it was verifiably important in the context of each (or most) such individual's life. On "POV", there's no way to construct an encyclopedia without making judgments as to the relative significance of information. We always have to decide what articles are worth including, what is worth including in an article, and what facts article topics have in common are worth indexing. Glancing at every article in the list that presently have a citation, not even half even mention their status as an only child, and none say anything substantive about it despite that sample of articles having rather well-developed sections on the subjects' families and early lives.

And if we're caring about being "sensitive", I don't see how asserting that people are not defined by being an only child could necessarily be more insensitive than asserting that people are defined by being an only child; every stereotype described at
only child is negative.

User:Nihonjoe I can see that you are an experienced editor, but you are abusing AFD. You are charged not to judge whether there are sources on the page, but to ascertain whether sources exist. WP is NOTDESTRUCTIVE, and for you to breezily dismiss the notability of a writer with this many books in print - and condescendingly grant me your permission to search for more sources - is out of line. I am not responsible for the validity of this ADF. You are. You asserted, with your nomination, that valid sources do not exist. I see no evidence that you have looked for them. (try, for example, a simple search like: Tamara Thorne site:LATimes.com) I will proceed with a little more sourcing, because I assumed at a glance - correctly - that sources had to be out there just from the fact that publishers have published and republished so many books by this author for so many years. I am aware that I am blowing off steam at you, when this sort of irresponsible rush to AFD is all too common. I excuse myself because even when I politely began to work on the page, you could not be troubled to take the least responsibility to search for sourcing before offering your manifestly uninformed opinion. Wondering why people quit editing? Maybe they get fed up with arrogant editors.

- Please ramain
WP:CIVIL. I am not abusing AFD. AFD is all about determing whether an article meets the inclusion criteria (a combination of
WP:N,
WP:V, and
WP:RS, as well as some of the sub-pages of those). I don't need to look for sources in order to participate in the discussion. It is not about determining if sources exist. They can exist all day long, but if they are not added to the article then the article may be deleted. Number of books in print is not a valid criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. If you took my comments as condescending, that's not the way they were intended. It's a turn of phrase quite common in English.
- Also I didn't nominate the article for deletion; Justlettersandnumbers did that. If you look at the history of the article, you'll find I actually created it over 7 years ago (I don't even remember creating it, but there it is). Please get off your high horse and stop assuming the worst about people participating here. I don't currently have time to look for article on this topic which has no interest to me. I only participated because I was notified of the discussion due to my having created the article. If you find enough sources for the article to be kept, more power to you, and congratulations. I really don't care one way or the other if this article is kept or not. I won't lose any sleep either way. ···

- Sincere apology for having misidentified you. AFD, however, is not determined by sources already on the page. It is a question of whether sources exist. I can respect a keep vote based entirely on sources already on the page (if they suffice, notability is satisfied). But iVoting to delete requires an inquiry into whether as yet uncited RS sources exist. When you don't care enough to bother searching (I often feel that way) you shouldn't be voting.

- You are still misunderstanding how AFD works. Anyone may participate, whether they have an interest in working on the article or not. Anyone may vote "keep" and anyone may vote "delete". Anyone. Even if they don't want to search for sources themselves. AFD is determined by the sources in the article. The final decision is absolutely not based on whether sources may exist out there somewhere. Unless they are in the article, they don't count. And I'm now done here. I have more important things to do than to argue semantics with you. ···

User:Nihonjoe please take a look at
WP:NRV and
WP:ARTN. It reads: "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. If the subject has not been covered outside of Wikipedia, no amount of improvements to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable. Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." I grant that this was and remains a case of:"very poor writing and referencing" Also, Of course anyone can come to AFD. But the process bogs down and sometimes misfires unless editors understand the standard of judgment, which is the notability of the subject, not the sources that happen to be already on the page.

User:Justlettersandnumbers has created an inappropriate AFD. By his own description, he based his AFD on "Insufficient notability for this encyclopaedia established in the article as it stands, nowhere near fulfilling

WP:ARTN. Even when Justlettersandnumbers visited this admittedly paltry page, there were indications of notability. Frankly, I think the AFD should be withdrawn by Justlettersandnumbers as an act of good faith.

- That's absurd. On the one hand, you say Justlettersandnumbers nominated in good faith, and on the other, you attack his motives for nominating. When the article was nominated, the article did not have sufficient reliable sources in the article to meet notability and verification requirements. It doesn't matter how notable someone is, if their article doesn't have any of those reliable sources in it, then the article might get deleted. All we care about on Wikipedia is if the article itself is properly sourced. We don't care how many tens, hundreds, or thousands of reliable sources there might be out there if none or few of them are in the article here.
- Now, you've had your say on this discussion. How about you give everyone a break and let others make comments? There's nothing else you could possibly say which will improve this discussion. ···

paperback writer of
horror fiction, (literary snobs may wish to leave the room now). Seriously, folks, she has sold serious numbers of books over the course of many years,several of her books have been brought out in new editions years after initial publication. She is not the subject of PhD dissertations in literature departments. Nor is she likely to be offered the opportunity to discover whether the cabins at

Iowa writers do is $ale$. In re: GNG: attention from general circulation press tends to appear just before Halloween (

- Reply - WRT "WP:NOTINHERITED", an album can be discussed in its article in terms of its constituent songs, this is referred to as a "top-down approach", since "Innocent Child" was a Colorhaus song. WRT "WP:ITSNOTABLE", the songs on the album have charted on Billboard with airplay in a major city. The album article is "more than a track listing" per
WP:NALBUM. The album "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it", while the hit single "has appeared on [a] country's national music chart" and "was in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network". --

Meanwhile, BerlinMalcom, I hope that you will join us by contributing to the pages of horror authors or other topics that interest you.

Booklist, and
Publisher's Weekly, but, beyond that, only reviewed in minor outlets like archaeology blogs. That there is an occassional newspaper mention related to the books, and a few other mentions of her as a budding archaeologist, and that she is now a full-time mother. The only big deal article was the profile in Science, but Science is a pretty big deal. That, and the fact that the 2 books are real and are cited does, I think, push her into notability as an author. Albeit not by a wide margin.

- the link to cordis for this project, given in the first deletion request above does not work. this is the perfect example that links pointing to somewhere on the web, are not reliable. some years ago, i have started to open lemmata of EU-research projects to have reliable links. all were deleted, MATER is the last remain. this ends up in a discussion about the relevance of research projects. the related article in wikipedia says, that a project must be large to be relevant to wikipedia. hard to find the propper definition of "large" for a research project - where is the limit in euro or man power or topics between relevant and not relevant. i am an inclusionist and i am wondering, why there is a limitation for research projects producing new knowledge for mankind. the eu spends billions of euro for its international reasearch and interesting findings are beeing published every year. tiresome discussions.

- Delete. The EU Marine Science and Technology program under which this was funded may well be notable. I'm dubious that research grants, even large ones, are really a good subject for encyclopedia articles, but if they are then the Mediterranean Targeted Project may be large enough and written-about enough to be notable. I think it's quite unlikely that a single phase of a research grant (which is what the title refers to) is itself notable. And in any case we have only primary sources. If there were a larger parent article to redirect to I'd say merge but in the absence of one I think we should delete. —

I don't like this article. It's very promotional, not very balanced, and its references are in terrible shape. I'm not even sure if there's really enough for a standalone article, but that being said those are not necessarily valid deletion rationales and all seemingly
surmountable problems. This article may not expand beyond a start or stub but it meets what I would describe as the absolute bare minimum requirements for inclusion.

WP:42. IT has not come through the

Since the contesting of the PROD a pseudo-reference has appeared, but notability remains unasserted and unverified.

It also plays an important role in the career of Jonathan Ross, one of British TV's biggest personalities. There was also a spin-off book which may have attracted reviews (there's one of the Italian translation here but I don't know if L'Indice is a reliable source
[14]). I wasn't able to check newspaper archives, but there is very likely to be additional press coverage from the pre-internet era. --

- Wikipedia does not have any rule that ambassadors or other diplomats are automatically entitled to articles on here just because they exist — a diplomat has to earn inclusion by being the subject of coverage in
reliable sources. But that's completely failed to be demonstrated here; this article relies almost entirely on
primary sources like DFAIT's own website and his own alma mater's self-posted list of its own notable alumni. A properly sourced article would certainly be allowed to stay — but "properly sourced" does not describe this article in its current form. Delete, without prejudice against future recreation if and when real sourcing can be provided.

- Before any editor makes the foolish mistake of taking this seriously, I'd like to remind that Fortuna changes his/her mind every 4 days--180 degrees,
| see here where by my reading Fortuna was in favor of the article in a more promotional state. This has been mostly resolved with 4 editors (including Fortuna) 5-6 days ago (now April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting) & I have 2 requests on the articles talk that 4 days later still have yet to be replied to. This page now makes the 5th location where this mostly resolved 6 day old discussion will now take place, part of me is wondering if I'll see this non-issue 'issue' clutter 10 wikipedia pages or 25 & then grow stale for 4 days (now April 16, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-16) & counting) with no response to my views ala the articles talk page. I'd respond directly to the "promotional" merits however you can already read about that being resolved on 4 talk pages.

We could stretch this out to 2018 with ironic responses & get nothing resolved at all, do 180s every 4 days on and on and on. That defence of mine tended towards starting out that this is the 5th page we are having this discussion on, but that seems to be an uncomfortable fact for you too since you've gone silent on it despite 18 hours to reply (April 19, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-19) & counting), and yet your reply above really didn't explain your unsubstantiated claim at all, just like on the articles talk page there are valid (non ironic) matters to be resolved that have yet to be replied to 5 days later (now April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting). The irony indeed, why don't you get serious about this 6 days in (now April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting), quit playing 'irony' games and maybe you'll receive a serious reply in around 6 days :-).

- Sorry, reject this analysis. The period in question may be poorly archived by digital search—I did not recheck your Bing effort—but the article currently includes a book reference, a half dozen newspaper articles, at least 4 solid online magazine articles, as well as a slew of SEC documents I have yet to look at. There seems to be no question that a company that has received this much attention, even if big-city-local, is notable enough for a good, short business article. Moreover, if the text in the article is accurate, its notability extends beyond metropolitan and regional, and touches on Fortune 100/500 companies. It's no Google, but also not Gemma's Fish and Chips, either. No, I see no merit to the notability accusation leveled against this article. [And as for general attitudes, note, an "outfit" is the organization that makes book and runs the docks for your waterfront metro, or else are things that the ladies (and maybe some gents) purchase in an apparel shop. This article, sadly, is just about a people-employing, tax-paying business. More boring than the eponymous alternatives, but still, perhaps due a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T.] Le Prof

Lots of hot air here, no substance to any of this. If I were editors involved with this my primary concern would be mitigating a near-future Admin block for failing after 10 days to adhere to any wikipolicy concerning article deletion safeguards. BeenAroundAWhile, I could tell the world what that statement of yours was, but you already know it because of course you as a responsible/serious editor read the article & talk pages so you already see dozens of RSs for notability and you also are fully aware that the legit search you did actually pulls up dozens of sites for this topic. So going on the 11th day (now April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting), and knowing editors are reading the talk pages and still can't tell me why (aside from searches that validate this articles STRONG KEEP) how is this not a comedy productionruse?

- Strong motion to table. I would move to table this proposed deletion, until the following tasks are accomplished by those participating on each side of the discussion, after which discussion can be renewed:
- 1. Opponents of the article mark specific elements in the text with which they have POV issues, with the appropriate inline tags, so that we can see what you perceive the real issues to be.
- 2. Proponents of the article address the poor state of the URL-only sources, moving them to a consistent format that makes it easy for those reviewing to see the real substance, or lack thereof, of the sources on which the article is based.
- Can I propose we do these two things, between now and 1200 EDT, 4 May (beginning of the day, that Monday), after which we reconvene to decide? Otherwise, I will cast a strong vote reflecting that this article is far more neutral, and apparently about a business of far greater notability, than many other unchallenged ones here (and will request experts to come on board to review of all aspects of this proposal and its aims).

- First, nice to see you again Leprof (full disclosure Leprof and I have assisted each other a few times in the past). Second, I have wanted to clean up the references in the article as evidenced by the history and my submitting it to the tech message board here, but alas we are on day 12 of this hall-of-mirrors adventure. So I have no qualms with point 2.
- Most importantly, with point 1, the problem with this entire endeavor is that a few editors who as best I can tell just like to play games over 12 days (now over April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting) are more than willing to tag everything in site then disappear for a week when you confront them with why or most importantly how they can show good-faith by actually using 12 days (now over April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting) to improve the article.
- Nothing on this page after a week (and really 12 days ((now over April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting)) do I see as legitimate, reasonable or valid, and trust me I've waited for something, anything. This is not a 22 day (now over April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting) problem (with reference to your good faith May 4 date), at most this is simply a few days on the articles talk page 'problem', which interestingly enough these 'label happy' editors have done their best to ignore standing concerns there for 12 days.
- There is a place on wikipedia for 22 day manufactured 'issues' (now over April 15, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-15) & counting) from editors who hide behind 'irony' and then change their minds or ignore valid questions every 4 days, not here, but I'm starting to think if I'm asked about this after 22 days I'll be putting it on that forum.
- I do thank you for your good faith effort to neutrally mediate this LeProf in a way that seeks to bring sides together, I'm not against good-faith improvements to the article as evidenced in several areas, I'm against hit-and-run non-issues wasting our time.

- Cheers, Market, but you do me greater justice than I deserve—I cringe at articles whose sources cannot be easily reviewed, and simply wanted to see the article move toward being unquestionably acceptable (made all the easier if I can really vet the references). However, the analysis of the sources that I could do was supportive (see the Bing mention above), and I have no questions as a scientist-turned-businessman that this article's subject is important enough. Have a go at those sources, and we'll see if anyone gets to work and substantiates any negative claim, meanwhile. Now, I have to add my own disclaimer to my earlier posting. Cheers,

- I will happily accept your apology. Can I lie about editors for 13 days, make unsubstantiated allegations of them violating policies then run away for weeks and not reply to their talk page inquiries? No, so neither can any editor leaving a comment on this page, if you have good faith you will exercise it by reading the mess that a certain editor created with 5 talk page one-line insults & then hiding for a week (now over April 16, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-16) & counting) without responding to reasonable good faith inquiries. If an editor wishes to comment here maybe r-e-a-d at least the comments on this page, and really r-e-a-d all other 4 pages that the 'one-word insult' 'hit-and-run artist' 'hide-for-a-week' (now over April 16, 2015; 9 years ago (2015-04-16) & counting) editor was reading when they decided to as you put it "waste people's time". We do agree on that.

There is also a snippet view indicating that a painting by the subject achieved a 3rd prize in 1981, but neither that nor the Brampton Arts Council Arts Person of the Year award is evidence of meeting the
WP:ARTIST criteria or those of broader biographical notability. (Also responding to
this article identified in the previous AfD: Local paper coverage, which is normal coverage for a working artist, but not evidence of meeting the
WP:ARTIST notability criteria. )

- Delete: agreeing with AllyD, and additionally pointing out that the Brampton Arts Council is merely a regional arts agency (a suburb of Toronto) and thus not substantial enough to establish notability. Additionally,
this article makes it clear that the exhibition is part of a member supported gallery system. These kinds of exhibitions do not establish notability (and in fact are red flags for it).

She remains quite prominent in Irish youth culture as well as Gaeltacht areas. Admittedly the sourcing leaves a lot to be desired but I am sure that sources can be found. I will note however that the Irish Independent, which is listed, is a good source and is relevant. This article should be kept as it is both relevant and notable for Ireland. Thank you

[31]) and competed (making the 'B' final) at the
2006 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships and
2010 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships (see
[32] and

[34],
[35],
[36],
[37], and
[38]. I think this shows GNG is met. Also, and this is just my opinion, when a sport does not have sport specific guidelines I try to look at a similarly situated sport. Track and Field can be considered similar in that it has meets, its major event is the Olympics, is timed race that are mostly individual and some relays, and receive a solid amount of sports coverage. Competing in worlds or a Continental-level meet is enough to presume GNG is met. With what I found with little effort and in view of the high level of competition, I say keep.
