  • Delete. Article was significantly more promotional when it was first created (I noticed it and intended to AfD it then, but forgot). This version was prodded as advertising; it was then substantially toned down by another editor, which is appreciated but still insufficient. Product is not notable; I can find zero independent coverage of the subject. The product's health claims are, of course, complete bollocks. Opabinia regalis ( talk) 21:19, 12 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • At the time I PROD'ed it, it was easily just advertising and full of unsourced claims, but given all the improvements I'm going to stay neutral on this deletion as it has been rewritten in an encyclopaedic tone and does have two, possibly good sources, but I can't verify them as they are offline.

  • Strong delete JSTOR has never seen the term, not once, which leads me to believe that the reference to Science does not mention the subject by name.

  1. This list falsely claims that these countries do not have borders. They do, otherwise would control the world several times over. See maritime boundary for details. These countries only lack land borders. As such it is a misleading list.
  2. The list is nearly identical to list of island countries and the few exceptions are well covered (!) in that list in the column "geographic configurations".
  3. I studied geography and did not just cover it in grade school. While specialized in political geography, I never ran into the strange concept of borderless countries. Therefore I checked Google Books and "borderless countries" is always used in a different context and still not as a clear concept. In other words, this list is a clear cut case of WP:Original Research.
In conclusion, there is no justification for keeping this redundant and misleading OR list, not even as a redirect (which of course would be a lesser evil). gidonb ( talk) 15:15, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • do not delete He is a theological scholar, so it is not strange that people are finding it more difficult to find independent info on him. But for the record here is a brief list of independent sites which cover him:

http://www.fbs.org.au/abrauthor.html http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/journals/17455251/18/2 http://www.anzats.edu.au/whoswho.html http://www.eptaonline.com/journal-articles/ http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/heyj.12034/abstract The latest book was only just released so it is unsurprising that it is not easy to find it in libraries yet, although see http://library.harvest.edu.au/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=65695&query_desc=kw%2Cwrdl%3A%20Newton%2C%20Jon . His books are in more libraries than is suggested DGG (above), but these are generally libraries owned by private theological colleges which are not linked with worldcat.org see http://library.emmaus.edu.au/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?biblionumber=9409 for example. He has been published in numerous scholarly research journals, these are listed independently in ebsco's database and ProQuest's database. If it will help I can include ISSN numbers of these journals. These journals are found in or are given access to by any decent college or university library which has a religion department. -- Windupboy82 ( talk) 06:51, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - the keep votes above do not demonstrate notability. The criteria are listed at WP:PROF, and the subject doesn't appear to meet any of them. St Anselm ( talk) 19:29, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- While theological colleges tend to be smaller than universities, dean of research, is a senior post, higher than professor (in the non-US sense). Serving on the board of anzats also points to his notability. The article does seem to have a lot of redlinks, but that may be due to the deficiencies of WP in not having articles on significant subjects. Peterkingiron ( talk) 14:09, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
There's a large corpus of "AfD case law" that has established that President, Chancellor (or vices thereof) and sometimes Provost satisfy WP:PROF c6 and, moreover, these must be at "a major academic institution". Dean at a small seminary does not satisfy c6. Agricola44 ( talk) 15:30, 14 April 2015 (UTC). reply
  • Keep -- Criterion 3 of WP:PROF states: "The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE)." He clearly meets this criterion. He is not only a member but a director at the most prestigious theological scholar society in Australia, i.e. ANZATS. -- Orinsa1118 ( talk) 11:39, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply

— Orinsa1118 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete. Objective evaluation against WP:PROF guidelines indicate that the subject falls far short of notability. The usual criterion is c1, but David (nom) shows that Newton's books have very low holdings. Likewise, his scholarship has barely been noted: only 2 GS citations for his cumulative body of work. (Note that Windupboy82 and Orinsa1118, whose edit styles are very similar, are under the misunderstanding that publications confer notability, when in fact it is citations to a scholar's publications that matter.) The other claims, e.g. being a director of ANZATS, a seminary schools association, or being a dean do not satisfy c6. It appears the 2 SPA accounts are jointly pushing this article and the one on Harvest Bible College, where Newton is on faculty – smells of possible COI.

This article is just an attempt to advertise a college's technical festival. College festivals like Techfest of IIT Bombay may meet the WP:Notability guidelines to have their own separate articles, but this one does not. A section about this festival, at the article of the college Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology, is sufficient, and I have added such a section there. There are article quality, language, and reference problems too, but the main issue is notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not anything else, and an encyclopedia would not have entire articles on such topics. Engineering Guy ( talk) 21:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD by Finngall which I endorsed, unencyclopedic original research. Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. § FreeRangeFrog croak 21:29, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I would like the relevant editors to answer these questions:

  1. If references were provided for each row of my table, would that address the attribution / citation issue?
  2. If blog posters and other grass-roots sources are considered unreliable, then why is this not also a detriment to the likes of the list of Cryptids? The attribution for most of these examples is, by definition, unreliable. If I purport to see a flying pig this evening, and add that info to the Cryptids page, has Wikipedia grown its encyclopedic repository more reliably than adding a row to my table does? Where is the line drawn?
  3. If Wikipedia is not a How-To guide, how does one explain pages like Tequila_Sour?
  4. The examples in my table (a given combination of freezer + fermentor) are not easily reproduced in vacuo, but are meant to be 100% reproducible from these sources. Does that not constitute a form of encyclopedic knowledge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielbcook ( talk • contribs) 22:39, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Danielbcook: I'll ignore WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for a moment. 1) No, we don't like lists of "things" that don't exist elsewhere in the encyclopedia and are essentially just a bunch of external links, even if they are presented as citations. 2) The list of Cryptids is a list of articles, not a list of things that don't exist in the encyclopedia. If one of them is sourced to blogs as you say then it should be nominated for deletion and removed from that list. In the meantime, anyone is free to non-controversially remove redlinks and non-linked entries from there. 3) Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it. 4) I suppose that's for this discussion to decide. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:07, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply
@ FreeRangeFrog: Sorry, in my #1 I didn't mean to use "references" as defined by a link off-site to a more official repository of the same information. What I meant was: would it address your concerns if each row of the table is marked as having been contributed by a specific person? The collection of information represented by the table doesn't exist anywhere else, to my knowledge, for if this information did already exist in one place then I wouldn't be attempting to create the page.
I will borrow directly from the article Wikipedia is Not a How-to Guide, under the heading "1. Instruction manuals", "Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic...". This proposed table is nothing more than a description of how people (i.e., home brewers) do something (i.e., successfully combine a fermentor and a cooling chamber). Take for example the Stout 40-gallon fermentor, which will fit into a small # of commercially-available freezers, making it of high value to learn a priori that a given freezer is proven to fit this fermentor before shelling out $1300+ for it and then discovering that all your efforts to find a home for it will fail (unless you happen to find a local Craigslist ad for one of the three late-model units it works in).

Swedish business (and fashion) journalists find them worth writing about: [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. As for the Swedish Wikipedia, like its counterpart in English, it is run mostly by nerdy young men interested in sports and technology, but with little or no interest in fashion and an indifference verging on hostility towards any business that doesn't involve paying people to play either ball or electric guitar. -- Hegvald ( talk) 20:13, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Frederick W. Root had an extensive career as a choir leader, composer, choral arranger and vocal instructor. I have a subscription to Newspapers.com; I found over two hundred references to him in the papers there. Many (but not all) of the ones in Chicago where he lived were just local trivial, but there are reports of his musical activities or compositions and arrangements in papers in California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico as well as several places in Illinois. HERE are a few references that I intend to use as citations when I get time to edit the text carefully. I included a short description beside the ones where a subscription is needed. There is an extensive article about him in The Voice. In spite of being tagged as possibly unreliable, this New York publication has an editor listed on the front page, and appears to have been a monthly journal in its tenth year of publication. This means he was known from coast to coast. — Anne Delong ( talk) 22:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Additional comment: The two spellings of the first name, Frederic and Frederick, plus the references being split up between those with a complete middle name, those with an initial, and those without, cause a quick search on any one of the six combinations to show only a few hits, a lot of these buried among items about his better known father, whose middle name was Frederic(k). Also a lot of the information was in subscription-based databases which Google doesn't pick up.— Anne Delong ( talk) 16:04, 10 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Notability on Wikipedia is not measured by how many people may or may not be using a Linux distribution. As explained at WP:N it is determined by the existence of independent third party references, like magazine reviews. This is for two reasons, 1. so that an article can be actually written with some objective comment and criticism, not having to rely only on primary sources, which are naturally biased in favour of the subject and 2. to prevent Wikipedia from being used for promotional purposes, such as to advertise a new Linux distro that is only being used by a handful of people. If it is too new to have any third party reviews then WP:TOOSOON applies. As far as mentioning it on the Arch Linux or Manjaro Linux pages, without third party refs it isn't notable enough for inclusion anywhere. Also I have to ask, you claim above that "over 500 people are shown to be using it currenly". Where is the proof of that? - Ahunt ( talk) 00:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep You are not acting in accordance to wikipedia policy. I tried to act in good faith now, but you very clearly are either not reading the article or you can't follow guidelines. On primary sources, this is what the guidelines say "Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.[4] Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source. Do not analyze, synthesize, interpret, or evaluate material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so. Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them. Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material. Use extra caution when handling primary sources about living people; see WP:BLPPRIMARY, which is policy." I have not interpreted primary source material. Another thing, the articles you removed like Vice are so far from a self published blog with no editorial oversight it's very clear you didn't even bother to learn about the institution. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_(magazine) I also cannot even fathom what kind of issue you had with a archived, broadcast radio interview.

  • The Billboard article is a "brief mention"?!?!?! It's 1,083 words, and she is the subject of the article! It's not like she is briefly mentioned in passing in an article about someone else, the article is 3 pages of text about her! That's really a decent length feature article for a magazine. As for the Time article; yes, it's a lot shorter at just 2 paragraphs and 148 words, but it's still a non-trivial mention for a major newsmagazine like Time to review a single.~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 18:38, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

None of these have significant coverage from WP:RS. The only one that might be considered significant is the interview at [31] WordSeventeen ( talk) 20:27, 6 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment @WordSeventeen I realize I do not "own" the article, but you are supposed to identify that you have a vested interest and are a major contributor to an article. Sorry you misunderstood. WP:AVOIDCOI. I fail to see in any way how it does not meet WP:GNG. It has received significant coverage from multiple sources, they come from reliable sources with integrity, the content for most of the article is based on secondary sources, and they are independent of the subject. Moving on, The Youtube/Soundcloud references are for very specific things, like release dates and labels. Not information that can be biased or obfuscated. As quoted directly from WP:RS, "Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against institutions, persons living or dead, as well as more ill-defined entities. The proper uses of a questionable source are very limited." I am in no way making any such claim with those references. Also, there are two Billboard references, and some of them are not just a mention. The song has also managed to chart, which does put points in it's favor for meeting the WP:NSONGS criteria. There is another interview from Radio.com conducted by Courtney E. Smith. I've further updated the article with even more interviews cited. If you have a problem with a few minor references like the Youtube for publication date, a request for reliable citation should be made, not requesting that entire article be deleted.

  • Comment I would really like to ask. When you make these nominations are you actually reviewing what content on the article was taken from the sources you're frowning on? Those are general guidelines. The content taken from those sources are minimal and don't seem to fail the criteria for why you cannot use those sources. Your phrasing implies the entire article is a biased and poorly constructed affair based entirely off of these. The "sales website" is Amazon, only for release date, which I have added citations from the publishing company detailing its release schedule. I'm not even going to bother saying anything else. If you have a different paradigm from what the guidelines say than from me, fine. I just hope more people have my view. SanctuaryX ( talk) : 22:20, 6 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I have added now reference from very good sources: For example Nojesguiden, GSO, Göteborgs-Posten], Blixten. The latter also quotes from reviews from reputable sites. For example Gaffa gives 5/6 to the band. For a very recent live concert see here By the way, I don't find AfDs as misplaced, but rather a needed opportunity and incentive to do the necessary homework and to add relevant references to articles. So in a strange kind of way, AfD requests help solidify articles rather than delete them in a frenetic bid by editors like me to try to save the articles concerned in the very little time we are allowed for re-editing articles we had started so lovingly years back and had overlooked later on never having had the chance of returning to them. So me I treat AfDs as wake up calls. Of course another side effect is getting to the catalogue of the band concerned.

This page was nominated for speedy deletion, but I removed the tag because I didn't think that it fit the criteria and it deserved to go to a full AfD debate. The few references provided for the article are all in non-notable sources. Personally, I think this show is non-notable outside of Cinemassacre Productions and it should perhaps just be merged in as a subsection there if it is not deleted outright. Note also that there is an (unreferenced) " List of James & Mike Mondays episodes" article as well. Also note that this has been mentioned on their website [47], so there is likely to be an influx of fans commenting here (as can currently be seen on the article's Talk page).

African american men in computer science, and it's counterpart African American women in computer science are lists of non-notable people, on this list because they have achieved a Ph.D. While that is no small undertaking, particularly in an underrepresented demographic in the computer science industry, that does not equate to Wikipedia notability. An argument could be made for an article to generally discuss the underrepresentation of African-Americans in the Computer Sciences Industries, but a blanket list of those who have achieved a Ph.D. in that field is not the way to go about it. Further, there are some BLP issues, as these are effectively unsourced or poorly sourced lists of people. kelapstick( bainuu) 13:38, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment Thanks for the heads up on the signature. Happy to sign anything. A few random examples: Monica Lam and Andrew Chi-Chih Yao are no more 'notable' than a lot of computer scientists I know. Your generalization, without evidence or context, is at the heart of this issue. Factually answer why this list is not notable in comparison to all the other lists that myself other commenters have mentioned. I challenge you to Google a random sample of 20 from each of these pages and do the same for the other lists mentioned and do a 'notability' comparison on the facts. -- Tygrandison ( talk) 01:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Both I actually considered nominating African American women in computer science for deletion shortly after it was created, but with no apparent precendent on this type of page, I wasn't sure it was appropriate and decided to do nothing instead. However, my original concern (and my reason for !voting delete) is that we would never have an article called Caucasian American women in computer science, and while I understand African American's are a minority, that does not somehow make them anymore notable than the majority population. In the same regard that it's not appropriate to assume white people are more notable for being a majority, it's not appropriate to assume black people are more notable because they are a minority. So, if we keep this article, than the counterpart article for every race/demographic would also be appropriate, imagine the list of all those people with PhD's!!! I also would like to point out that the creator of these articles included themselves on the list at African American women in computer science, one Quincy K. Brown. So there are also COI issues. - War wizard90 ( talk) 04:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply
(See below). The page was created as a part of [ an event which sought to highlight the collective role of African-Americans in STEM fields; several attendees were notable in STEM fields in their own right. Dr. Brown was an invited guest at the event who was gracious enough to share her expertise and get this started, with my assistance. We did carefully explain that writing one's autobiography was not appropriate. Having a PhD start the list of PhDs seemed logical enough to me-- is this really some sort of problem? -- Djembayz ( talk) 04:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
I never said it was a problem, I was merely pointing out a possible conflict of interest, Wikipedia policy doesn't forbid someone with a COI from editing a topic, it is simply discouraged, and will be met with a higher level of scrutiny, so these editors should edit extremely prudently. That being said, my issue with this article is still that it is a list of non-notable people. Whereas an article discussing African Americans role in computer science would be acceptable, as would a list of notable African Americans in computer science. But a list of EVERY African American who has ever received a PhD in the field seems a little silly, like I said, they could earn a degree in that field and then not contribute a thing to the field afterword. The inclusion of EVERY African American with a PhD is exactly what causes this article to fail WP:LISTN, if the list was made up of all notable folks, it would easily pass WP:LISTN. - War wizard90 ( talk) 04:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Both Merge and clean per David Eppstein's solution Almost all use none at all, self-published, or otherwise questionable sources. One heavily used source reads:

    This list is based in part on a list compiled by Dr. Scott Williams, Professor of Mathematics at State University of New York at Buffalo: "Computer Scientists of the African Diaspora". SUNY Buffalo - Mathematicians of the African Diaspora. 2008. Retrieved 2015-02-25. As of 2008, Dr. Scott considered his list to be a complete list of all the known African Americans holding PhDs in computer science.

    This is a personal website, not a reliable source. Also, it's talking about the African Diaspora, not African Americans. Lastly, if it remains, there's plenty of names to add, begging the question of reliability for his website and the other source about the number in academia, so I'll just leave these lists here: [49] [50] [51] ―  Padenton| ✉   15:12, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Glad you are finding more recent information! If you can find a current source with listings and exact numbers of African American CS PhDs, that would certainly be a help in improving the page. Do note that people attending an editathon have to work with what they have access to on the spot, and rely on others to improve what they have started afterwards.
Also, the fact that you do not realize why the first African American PhD, or the number of African Americans in a profession is particularly significant is actually an encouraging sign. African Americans in the US were specifically barred from certain higher educational institutions, and thus from certain professions under segregation in the US. Other minorities did not always face the same levels of discrimination as African Americans. For people of a certain age in the US, it goes without saying that the moment when an educational institution or a profession actually opens up for everyone to participate is when the African Americans are welcomed. -- Djembayz ( talk) 04:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep for Upcoming Event. This is needed for Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Tech LadyMafia Edit-a-thon, April 2015: Women in Tech, coming up next Friday. Also, I don't understand why you think a computer science professor would be an unreliable source for names of other colleagues in the field. This is a pretty small group of people, most of whom would know each other, and most of whom would only be documented in this fashion. We're not talking about writing individual articles for all of the people on the list, we're talking about a baseline list that gives us something to build on for an underrepresented group, for whom few sources are available. Please note that it is sufficiently rare for African American women to receive doctorates in computer science that we were urged to further develop this topic at an editathon oh the Lost History of African Americans in STEM fields with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Tue Feb 24. Although we all hope that the day will come when an African American getting a PhD in computer science is an everyday occurence, even in 2013 a women were still in the process of breaking the color barrier when the first African American woman received CS PhD at an institution the size of Michigan State. Fifty-six practitioners in a field as of 2008 is not very many!
  • I would hope that Wikipedia would view breaking the color barrier as a notable activity, because if we don't, it doesn't speak very well for our commitment to diversity. -- Djembayz ( talk) 03:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep but merge into a single list of African-American computer scientists, and delete all non-bluelinked entries. The low representation of African-Americans in computer science is well-known, problematic, and not likely to be difficult to find sources for (e.g. Google gives me 100k hits for the exact phrase "African-American computer scientists"). The low representation of women in computer science is also well known, problematic, and easily sourced. But it's not clear to me that when we start intersecting categories like this, that we still have notability: what are the issues that specifically affect African-American men in computer science, but are not common to African-American men in other STEM fields, or to other African-American computer scientists? And where do we list the computer scientists who don't identify as part of the traditional gender scale (if any of those happen also to be African-American)? Additionally, with many unsourced redlinked and unlinked entries (and many more people that could be added), we have issues with WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Incidentally, these lists are currently far from complete: several additional names can be found by searching Wikipedia for the phrases "African-American" and "computer scientist". — David Eppstein ( talk) 05:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Most importantly, I do not think the article has shown that merely being an African American with a PhD in CS is notable enough for other Wikipedia:Reliable sources to cover this list. As sources we have one survey that lists tenure-track professors (which is not the same as PhD in CS; there are plenty of CS PhDs that aren't professors), and one personal web page, that lists "The African Diaspora" (which is not the same as African-Americans - for example it lists at least one Nigerian). And we have the personal say so of a volunteer. So basically this list is Wikipedia:Original research.

  • Delete as nominated. Whether an individual is notable or not is not based on ethnicity; notability must be asserted through Wikipedia guidelines for each individual on the list FIRST, then a list should be derived from the articles of notable individuals. ScrapIronIV ( talk) 15:45, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep My reading of WP:LISTN is that notability applies to the list as a whole, not the individual entries. So the notability, or lack thereof, of any of these people on either list is not relevant; which negates many of the deletion arguments made here. I can't see how BLP applies to a simple list of names; they aren't biographies and contain no potentially libelous information. The topic is one that has plausibly been discussed as a group in reliable sources. Whatever technical flaws that remain with the lists are fixable over time: the lists have potential. Further, the nominator states "An argument could be made for an article to generally discuss the underrepresentation of African-Americans in the Computer Sciences Industries". While this isn't the end of that process, it is a part of that and a list often serves as the backbone for creating relevant articles around a topic. Some of these names may lead to future biographical articles (not, I repeat, that that is necessary under Wikipedia policy). I would say that extends the "has potential" argument from just the two lists under discussion to the entire topic group that may, potentially, exist one day. - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 16:50, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Right, but right now the article doesn't show what WP:LISTN requires, which is that reliable sources have actually written about African American PhDs in CS as such. Are there sources for that? I've read plenty of articles about underrepresentation of various groups in CS. But none that tried to give a list of PhDs. CS is a field in which having a PhD isn't nearly as important as in some others. -- GRuban ( talk) 18:47, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
I've added some references to show that this is a subject of discussion. I don't have time to do an exhaustive search for more citations but I think this is ample to show that they exist. Wiki articles don't need to be perfect right away, they just need potential for future improvement, which I hope I have demonstrated. I have no opinion on merging the lists. I don't think unlinked names should be removed: it is not required at all under Wikipedia policy, it would be counter-productive to just eliminate the seeds of potential future articles, and it is unnecessary given the apparently small number of African-Americans with CS doctorates in the US. - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 14:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply
...and now some of them have been removed for spurious reasons by Padenton. Nevertheless, there are several publications that make a point of Computer Science PhD's and African-Americans; which is enough to support my point. There's another at insidehighered.com. A table of Africa-American PhD's vs. overall award for the year could probably be built using the NSF data and would be relevant to the topic. - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 14:15, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply
There are several data sources such as the Taulbee Report and NSF that annually report data on the topic of these pages. These can easily be added to the pages as sources. It's also worth noting that until recently, when tech companies began reporting demographic data, there was little public discussion of the lack of minority presence in CS see here, here, and here for very recent articles on the topic.

Thank you for the clarification Mark, and without looking for statistics, I am sure you are correct, computer scientists and academics are underrepresented occupations on Wikipedia.

As mentioned, blue linked articles grouped by occupation (and/or ethnicity) are generally acceptable, but blanket lists of non-notable people are not, and that is what we have here.

@MarkBernstein: Your initial argument is an "Aunt Minnie Argument," courtesy of the great Jewish film director, Billy Wilder--concerning Marilyn Monroe. He said, "My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie?" He was comparing Ms. Monroe to his wonderful, virtuous Aunt Minnie. Marilyn Monroe had WP:N. Aunt Minnie didn't. Tell me who gets an article. Thus it is that Black porno 'actors' have articles, and black PhDs in computer science don't.

  • Keep per WP:LISTN - As noted previously, this page was created as part of the White House Edit-a-thon Lost History of African Americans in STEM fields with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Tue Feb 24.. The goal for creating the pages was not to be a list for the sake of creating a list but to be an article/list about individual African Americans in Computer Science, per se but on the group as a collective. Thus, it is the grouping of the members in the broader context that is notable. The purpose creating separate pages was to have the women's list include mention of intersectionality and issues that are unique to individuals who are women in a male dominated field and African Americans. There are numerous articles on the topic [52], [53]. The National Academies Press published a report on the topic of Women of Color in Academia [54] that are focused on the topic intersectionality and women of color in STEM as well as those that highlight the issue in Computer Science [55], [56]. Furthermore the National Science Foundation publishes a report focused on Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering that includes data on minority women [57]. The data on the pages can be gathered using national databases. The page does need to be updated to reflect the importance and unique experiences of African American Women in CS. Per WP:LISTN, " Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable..." The articles have potential WP:HASPOT and can be improved.

  • Move to project space as someone mentioned that the lists were created due to an event about our coverage of racial minorities and women in STEM. The argument for deletion is that the black people on the lists are not notable. Some may be notable, but do not have articles due to systemic bias, such as limited interest from Wikipedians or reliable sources that are difficult to access. Perhaps two lists in mainspace is not the best way to deal with this important issue (unequal opportunities and imbalanced coverage), but until a better alternative is developed, deleting the lists will just reinforce racism and sexism, both on Wikipedia and in STEM. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 01:29, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
This would be appropriate if it was plausible to believe that most or many of the names would meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. On the contrary, the vast majority of PhD holders do not meet wikipedia's notability guidelines. Deleting non-notable entries in a list doesn't reinforce racism or sexism.

@ Djembayz: at WP:VPP. It's less breaking a 'color bar', more being interested in a specific field and putting in the effort to complete a PhD. It's an issue of systemic bias, not racism (anymore). Especially in CS (moreso than other STEM fields), there's also an economic component. A PhD can take 5-7 years living with little money, while every CS can get the top-paying jobs for new college grads, and by getting the work experience instead, not only will they have made on average $250,000-$350,000 more during those years, their work experience can be more valuable than a PhD. No disrespect intended towards any participants here who completed the gauntlet, but while in other science fields (i.e. Chemistry, Physics) students are expected far more often to take their education to the master's/doctorate level, CS students have much lower rates of continuing to the PhD. ―  Padenton| ✉   14:53, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Padenton: Racism and sexism have not magically disappeared. Poor black and female representation in computer science is a real and important issue. Black and female contributions to computer science is a real and important issue. Barriers that black people and females face in computer science is a real and important issue. Could you suggest (and actually contribute to) good approaches for dealing with these real and important issues, since these two lists are clearly bad approaches? If the list is moved to project space, would you still argue that it should be deleted or would you let the community determine which people on the list are indeed notable? Being the first black graduate from a historically segregated university or an advocate for fellow female computer scientists could attract additional coverage, which increases notability. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 16:30, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
When did it become part of Wikipedia's brief to deal with whatever biases may or may not exist in the field of computer science? Eric Corbett 16:46, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Of course, Wikipedia is not in a position to improve black and female representation in computer science, but we certainly can (and should) improve our coverage of these real and important issues. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 17:00, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
But this isn't an article about those issues, it's simply a list of largely non-notable people who happen to have a PhD. Eric Corbett 17:15, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Merge and KeepListing of prominent African Americans in computer science. Notable list of academics of an under represented group an a tough underreprented field of phds. Similiar fields exist including [58] CrazyAces489 ( talk) 15:40, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
But there's a world of difference between the two lists. Is it really necessary to point out that the mere possession of a PhD does not make one either an academic or a computer scientist? Eric Corbett 16:12, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment And by your example, you prove our point. The list you linked to is a list of Medal of Honor Recipients, notable by their accomplishments by definition; compiling a list of inherently notable people is wonderful! Establish notability of these subjects, create their articles, and THEN we make a list. Easy, peasy. Otherwise, it's just a list of non-notable people. ScrapIronIV ( talk) 16:13, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment There are quite a few issues raised in these discussions however the page has been updated to include references related to African American women in CS. The topic of African American Women in Computer Science is a notable topic. As listed in the [ notability guidline] ("If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list."), African American women in CS have been written about in reliable sources and the issue is easily verifiable. The sources are secondary, e.g. National Academies, and independent. Quincykbrown ( talk) 21:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)quincykbrown reply
  • My feeling here is that all of your arguments would be excellent arguments for an article specifically discussing the general topic of African Americans in CS, such an article could discuss the biases and so forth, but it still doesn't make any sense to have a huge list of mostly non-notable people. No prejudice against a list of notable African American computer scientists (even without the qualifier of earning a PhD), also no prejudice against moving this to the project page for a major overhaul and a better approach to discussing these important topics. As it is though, this article does not meet the criteria for inclusion, in my opinion. - War wizard90 ( talk) 04:04, 16 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I found a somewhat descriptive entry for MobyGames for one of the series' games I know MobyGames is unreliable as it relies on user-submitted content, but that was the only decent description I could find. The game looks pretty awful for December 2000. What I don't understand is that it's a fairly contemporary game series and there are almost no sources for it. I've seen other black holes for some games on the internet but a search from the VG custom search engine finds nothing on the series. Somebody asked what happened to Lozenge and Hampshire but I can see why this is up for deletion if there are no sources. I don't think this is salvagable, so sadly I would support a deletion unless something comes up. ☠ Jag uar ☠ 15:52, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply

You're not disqualified--and I didn't say so--but the size of the entry (see attempt @ humor in comment) was inappropriate. I didn't check any of the sources. More appropriate would have been to put the sources in the article (as you've since done), and left a statement to that effect. As to why I pointed out your authorship, please see WP:AVOIDCOI. Next I'm going to strike out my "delete," because with the new refs it seems to me that the article satisfies WP:N. Tapered ( talk)

  • Redirect to Bellingham, Washington Bellingham School District per SO, I would boldly close as redirect myself but not too sure on middle schools so I'll leave it be. – Davey2010 Talk 22:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to existing Bellingham School District article. Redirecting to the city when there is a school district article would be a bit silly. Note WP:OUTCOMES is an essay, not a policy or guideline. It also says articles are typically redirected to school districts in North America. Speaking of guidelines, did the nominator heed WP:BEFORE (part D), since the main concern here is notability? Note I've redirected plenty of middle schools to school districts and usually don't have a problem with that, just making sure we do our due diligence. The fact that the former middle school building used to serve as a now-defunct high school (those are considered notable, even the defunct ones) should at least get a mention in the school district article if redirected, but I would consider the former high school status a weak claim to notability for a stand-alone article. However, since the old building has apparently been razed, alternately, create an article for Whatcom High School and redirect the middle school to the district.

  • Comment. I do think that WP:NCOMP is not inclusive enough when it comes to NGOs. But this requires expert input, difficult to come by in our community. I see several passing mentions - one in a book, few in newspapers. They seem to run something called World Yoga Sports Championship, which could perhaps be notable, given coverage in [59] and [60], through it's borderline. The federation could be merged there, I guess, as there are no other independent sources out there about it outside several similar pieces about it sponsoring some sort of an event. However, as I mentioned earlier, this is true for numerous NGOs which we nonetheless allow to stay here, pointing IMHO at the need to change a part of NCOMP. Sill, unless any yoga/sport experts will chime in saying that this is an organization that is recognized in the field, I don't see how we can keep this substub. For now, I'll bid my time - please ping me if any substantial argument is made here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:45, 1 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I can sort of understand the nominators thinking at first, but this hardly a person with "No evidence of notabilty." I myself took the time to read the entire article in its rather "raw" state. All the references were in the article at the initial state. The article just was not formatted correctly. I tried to start formatting it correctly from the start. It really makes me wonder if the nominator followed WP:BEFORE, since the article clearly stated from the beginning the points that give the article's subject notability:

  • Received a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Service, for his chairmanship of The Los Angeles City Bicentennial Committee from Mayor Tom Bradley on 28 September 1976.
  • He also received theBronze Medallion of Mexico City from Dr. Carlos Hank Gonzalez, Mayor of Mexico City, in 1981 for his contributions toward the Mexico City is Sister City of Los Angeles project.
  • In 1984 Peter Ueberroth, President of the Olympic Committee, along with Harry L. Usher and Paul Ziffren, presented him a Certificate and Bronze Medal for his contributions to the success of the 23rd Olympiad held in Los Angeles known also as the 1984 Summer Olympics.

  • Comment Nowhere have I suggested deletion. The edits to the article add useful material to it. It now needs a tranche of work to knock it into shape. Your work has assuredly rescued it from deletion in my eyes, but that is not what my !vote here is towards. My view is that this is better performed as a draft rather than a main namespace article, the more so since WP:AFD is not really intended to clean an article up. There is a likelihood that his discussion will close with a migration to Draft: namespace. If I am correct then you should submit it for review while tightening the article and its referencing. This will be the best of all possible outcomes with the present state of the article, because there will be peace and quiet to work, without the urgency of defending agains a deletion discussion.

  • Delete. This is systemic bias: we would not delete a US helicopter crash that killed a Cabinet member, an Obama aide and a prominent businessman. But I'm not inclined to correct systemic bias by keeping this article: I'd probably argue, in dissent, for the deletion of the US version too. As for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2014 Wichita King Air crash, it is a complete farce. Here, as in there, the WP:NOTNEWS argument is correct, and there is no lasting impact per WP:EVENT. As pointed out above, there are adequate alternative pages in which brief material on the accident can be included ( Jamaluddin Jarjis being another). -- Mkativerata ( talk) 11:04, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep - The article does meet current consensus for a stand-alone article insofar as the AS365 is not a "light" helicopter and a Wikinotable person was killed. However, it is light on sources at the moment, which means it is difficult to argue that WP:GNG is met. Death toll of six is not really high enough to argue that an article should stand on that criteria either. Mjroots ( talk) 19:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. The lack of verification makes me think that this is either a hoax, or someone who has worked on the films in a non-notable capacity. Unverified claims of 'film producer' and 'director of special effects' raise red flags. Parenthetically, the primary editor uses 'imdb' in their name, which raises further concerns as to whether they contributed spurious information to that site, before bringing it here. Nobody would do that, though, right? 32.216.140.250 ( talk) 03:29, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

He does have an IMDb page and credits for very well known, A-list films, but being one of dozens of special effects people on, for example, The Hobbit movies and a couple of Fast and Furious ones doesn't make one notable.

  • Delete Regardless of the socks and whatnot, there's obviously not enough coverage of this person, thus this becomes a promotional vanity bio at best. Having a distinguished or impressive CV does not notability make, at least not how we define it. There are thousands of people in the world that work behind the scenes in film and television, and very few of them ever receive significant coverage in media, mostly because they are behind the scenes. I have worked on notable desktop and web applications over the years, but I don't rate an article on Wikipedia even if the products do. And yeah, the citations seem very dodgy although I'm on the fence as to whether this is really a hoax or not. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:28, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Article was significantly more promotional when it was first created (I noticed it and intended to AfD it then, but forgot). This version was prodded as advertising; it was then substantially toned down by another editor, which is appreciated but still insufficient. Product is not notable; I can find zero independent coverage of the subject. The product's health claims are, of course, complete bollocks. Opabinia regalis ( talk) 21:19, 12 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • At the time I PROD'ed it, it was easily just advertising and full of unsourced claims, but given all the improvements I'm going to stay neutral on this deletion as it has been rewritten in an encyclopaedic tone and does have two, possibly good sources, but I can't verify them as they are offline.

  1. This list falsely claims that these countries do not have borders. They do, otherwise would control the world several times over. See maritime boundary for details. These countries only lack land borders. As such it is a misleading list.
  2. The list is nearly identical to list of island countries and the few exceptions are well covered (!) in that list in the column "geographic configurations".
  3. I studied geography and did not just cover it in grade school. While specialized in political geography, I never ran into the strange concept of borderless countries. Therefore I checked Google Books and "borderless countries" is always used in a different context and still not as a clear concept. In other words, this list is a clear cut case of WP:Original Research.
In conclusion, there is no justification for keeping this redundant and misleading OR list, not even as a redirect (which of course would be a lesser evil). gidonb ( talk) 15:15, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • do not delete He is a theological scholar, so it is not strange that people are finding it more difficult to find independent info on him. But for the record here is a brief list of independent sites which cover him:

http://www.fbs.org.au/abrauthor.html http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/journals/17455251/18/2 http://www.anzats.edu.au/whoswho.html http://www.eptaonline.com/journal-articles/ http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/heyj.12034/abstract The latest book was only just released so it is unsurprising that it is not easy to find it in libraries yet, although see http://library.harvest.edu.au/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=65695&query_desc=kw%2Cwrdl%3A%20Newton%2C%20Jon . His books are in more libraries than is suggested DGG (above), but these are generally libraries owned by private theological colleges which are not linked with worldcat.org see http://library.emmaus.edu.au/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?biblionumber=9409 for example. He has been published in numerous scholarly research journals, these are listed independently in ebsco's database and ProQuest's database. If it will help I can include ISSN numbers of these journals. These journals are found in or are given access to by any decent college or university library which has a religion department. -- Windupboy82 ( talk) 06:51, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - the keep votes above do not demonstrate notability. The criteria are listed at WP:PROF, and the subject doesn't appear to meet any of them. St Anselm ( talk) 19:29, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- While theological colleges tend to be smaller than universities, dean of research, is a senior post, higher than professor (in the non-US sense). Serving on the board of anzats also points to his notability. The article does seem to have a lot of redlinks, but that may be due to the deficiencies of WP in not having articles on significant subjects. Peterkingiron ( talk) 14:09, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
There's a large corpus of "AfD case law" that has established that President, Chancellor (or vices thereof) and sometimes Provost satisfy WP:PROF c6 and, moreover, these must be at "a major academic institution". Dean at a small seminary does not satisfy c6. Agricola44 ( talk) 15:30, 14 April 2015 (UTC). reply
  • Keep -- Criterion 3 of WP:PROF states: "The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE)." He clearly meets this criterion. He is not only a member but a director at the most prestigious theological scholar society in Australia, i.e. ANZATS. -- Orinsa1118 ( talk) 11:39, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply

— Orinsa1118 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete. Objective evaluation against WP:PROF guidelines indicate that the subject falls far short of notability. The usual criterion is c1, but David (nom) shows that Newton's books have very low holdings. Likewise, his scholarship has barely been noted: only 2 GS citations for his cumulative body of work. (Note that Windupboy82 and Orinsa1118, whose edit styles are very similar, are under the misunderstanding that publications confer notability, when in fact it is citations to a scholar's publications that matter.) The other claims, e.g. being a director of ANZATS, a seminary schools association, or being a dean do not satisfy c6. It appears the 2 SPA accounts are jointly pushing this article and the one on Harvest Bible College, where Newton is on faculty – smells of possible COI.

This article is just an attempt to advertise a college's technical festival. College festivals like Techfest of IIT Bombay may meet the WP:Notability guidelines to have their own separate articles, but this one does not. A section about this festival, at the article of the college Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology, is sufficient, and I have added such a section there. There are article quality, language, and reference problems too, but the main issue is notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not anything else, and an encyclopedia would not have entire articles on such topics. Engineering Guy ( talk) 21:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD by Finngall which I endorsed, unencyclopedic original research. Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. § FreeRangeFrog croak 21:29, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I would like the relevant editors to answer these questions:

  1. If references were provided for each row of my table, would that address the attribution / citation issue?
  2. If blog posters and other grass-roots sources are considered unreliable, then why is this not also a detriment to the likes of the list of Cryptids? The attribution for most of these examples is, by definition, unreliable. If I purport to see a flying pig this evening, and add that info to the Cryptids page, has Wikipedia grown its encyclopedic repository more reliably than adding a row to my table does? Where is the line drawn?
  3. If Wikipedia is not a How-To guide, how does one explain pages like Tequila_Sour?
  4. The examples in my table (a given combination of freezer + fermentor) are not easily reproduced in vacuo, but are meant to be 100% reproducible from these sources. Does that not constitute a form of encyclopedic knowledge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielbcook ( talk • contribs) 22:39, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Danielbcook: I'll ignore WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for a moment. 1) No, we don't like lists of "things" that don't exist elsewhere in the encyclopedia and are essentially just a bunch of external links, even if they are presented as citations. 2) The list of Cryptids is a list of articles, not a list of things that don't exist in the encyclopedia. If one of them is sourced to blogs as you say then it should be nominated for deletion and removed from that list. In the meantime, anyone is free to non-controversially remove redlinks and non-linked entries from there. 3) Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it. 4) I suppose that's for this discussion to decide. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:07, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply
@ FreeRangeFrog: Sorry, in my #1 I didn't mean to use "references" as defined by a link off-site to a more official repository of the same information. What I meant was: would it address your concerns if each row of the table is marked as having been contributed by a specific person? The collection of information represented by the table doesn't exist anywhere else, to my knowledge, for if this information did already exist in one place then I wouldn't be attempting to create the page.
I will borrow directly from the article Wikipedia is Not a How-to Guide, under the heading "1. Instruction manuals", "Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic...". This proposed table is nothing more than a description of how people (i.e., home brewers) do something (i.e., successfully combine a fermentor and a cooling chamber). Take for example the Stout 40-gallon fermentor, which will fit into a small # of commercially-available freezers, making it of high value to learn a priori that a given freezer is proven to fit this fermentor before shelling out $1300+ for it and then discovering that all your efforts to find a home for it will fail (unless you happen to find a local Craigslist ad for one of the three late-model units it works in).

Seems to be a obscure clothing company, having trouble finding refs also-the Swedish page is even more bare bones then this one! Wgolf ( talk) 18:53, 8 April 2015 (UTC)withdrawn reply

  • Once successful, now struggling, clothing company which has been listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange since 2007. Swedish business (and fashion) journalists find them worth writing about: [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. As for the Swedish Wikipedia, like its counterpart in English, it is run mostly by nerdy young men interested in sports and technology, but with little or no interest in fashion and an indifference verging on hostility towards any business that doesn't involve paying people to play either ball or electric guitar. -- Hegvald ( talk) 20:13, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Frederick W. Root had an extensive career as a choir leader, composer, choral arranger and vocal instructor. I have a subscription to Newspapers.com; I found over two hundred references to him in the papers there. Many (but not all) of the ones in Chicago where he lived were just local trivial, but there are reports of his musical activities or compositions and arrangements in papers in California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico as well as several places in Illinois. HERE are a few references that I intend to use as citations when I get time to edit the text carefully. I included a short description beside the ones where a subscription is needed. There is an extensive article about him in The Voice. In spite of being tagged as possibly unreliable, this New York publication has an editor listed on the front page, and appears to have been a monthly journal in its tenth year of publication. This means he was known from coast to coast. — Anne Delong ( talk) 22:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Additional comment: The two spellings of the first name, Frederic and Frederick, plus the references being split up between those with a complete middle name, those with an initial, and those without, cause a quick search on any one of the six combinations to show only a few hits, a lot of these buried among items about his better known father, whose middle name was Frederic(k). Also a lot of the information was in subscription-based databases which Google doesn't pick up.— Anne Delong ( talk) 16:04, 10 April 2015 (UTC) reply

* Delete - Totally non-notable. Rwxrwxrwx ( talk) 21:26, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Notability on Wikipedia is not measured by how many people may or may not be using a Linux distribution. As explained at WP:N it is determined by the existence of independent third party references, like magazine reviews. This is for two reasons, 1. so that an article can be actually written with some objective comment and criticism, not having to rely only on primary sources, which are naturally biased in favour of the subject and 2. to prevent Wikipedia from being used for promotional purposes, such as to advertise a new Linux distro that is only being used by a handful of people. If it is too new to have any third party reviews then WP:TOOSOON applies. As far as mentioning it on the Arch Linux or Manjaro Linux pages, without third party refs it isn't notable enough for inclusion anywhere. Also I have to ask, you claim above that "over 500 people are shown to be using it currenly". Where is the proof of that? - Ahunt ( talk) 00:23, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep You are not acting in accordance to wikipedia policy. I tried to act in good faith now, but you very clearly are either not reading the article or you can't follow guidelines. On primary sources, this is what the guidelines say "Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.[4] Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source. Do not analyze, synthesize, interpret, or evaluate material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so. Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them. Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material. Use extra caution when handling primary sources about living people; see WP:BLPPRIMARY, which is policy." I have not interpreted primary source material. Another thing, the articles you removed like Vice are so far from a self published blog with no editorial oversight it's very clear you didn't even bother to learn about the institution. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_(magazine) I also cannot even fathom what kind of issue you had with a archived, broadcast radio interview.

This reference #2 [28] is a brief mention not significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG. This reference #3 [29] is also just a brief mention, not significant coverage, also fails WP:GNG. So two are trivial brief mentions and the third goes to an error page sort of like a dead link. Not sure what the problem is there with archive.org and stickymag. The VICE reference a user refers to above goes to a blog type site with no editorial oversight. They contract out to freelancers for their content and have no editorial oversight.

  • The Billboard article is a "brief mention"?!?!?! It's 1,083 words, and she is the subject of the article! It's not like she is briefly mentioned in passing in an article about someone else, the article is 3 pages of text about her! That's really a decent length feature article for a magazine. As for the Time article; yes, it's a lot shorter at just 2 paragraphs and 148 words, but it's still a non-trivial mention for a major newsmagazine like Time to review a single.~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 18:38, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

The references include mentions at the time reference and billboard reference. Also there are links as references to sales sites of itunes and amazon. Other references are youtube and sound cloud. None of these have significant coverage from WP:RS. The only one that might be considered significant is the interview at [31] WordSeventeen ( talk) 20:27, 6 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment @WordSeventeen I realize I do not "own" the article, but you are supposed to identify that you have a vested interest and are a major contributor to an article. Sorry you misunderstood. WP:AVOIDCOI. I fail to see in any way how it does not meet WP:GNG. It has received significant coverage from multiple sources, they come from reliable sources with integrity, the content for most of the article is based on secondary sources, and they are independent of the subject. Moving on, The Youtube/Soundcloud references are for very specific things, like release dates and labels. Not information that can be biased or obfuscated. As quoted directly from WP:RS, "Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against institutions, persons living or dead, as well as more ill-defined entities. The proper uses of a questionable source are very limited." I am in no way making any such claim with those references. Also, there are two Billboard references, and some of them are not just a mention. The song has also managed to chart, which does put points in it's favor for meeting the WP:NSONGS criteria. There is another interview from Radio.com conducted by Courtney E. Smith. I've further updated the article with even more interviews cited. If you have a problem with a few minor references like the Youtube for publication date, a request for reliable citation should be made, not requesting that entire article be deleted. SanctuaryX ( talk) : 21:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC) reply
There is no requirement that the person doing a nomination for deletion to " have a vested interest and are a major contributor to an article."

  • Comment I would really like to ask. When you make these nominations are you actually reviewing what content on the article was taken from the sources you're frowning on? Those are general guidelines. The content taken from those sources are minimal and don't seem to fail the criteria for why you cannot use those sources. Your phrasing implies the entire article is a biased and poorly constructed affair based entirely off of these. The "sales website" is Amazon, only for release date, which I have added citations from the publishing company detailing its release schedule. I'm not even going to bother saying anything else. If you have a different paradigm from what the guidelines say than from me, fine. I just hope more people have my view. SanctuaryX ( talk) : 22:20, 6 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I have added now reference from very good sources: For example Nojesguiden, GSO, Göteborgs-Posten], Blixten. The latter also quotes from reviews from reputable sites. For example Gaffa gives 5/6 to the band. For a very recent live concert see here By the way, I don't find AfDs as misplaced, but rather a needed opportunity and incentive to do the necessary homework and to add relevant references to articles. So in a strange kind of way, AfD requests help solidify articles rather than delete them in a frenetic bid by editors like me to try to save the articles concerned in the very little time we are allowed for re-editing articles we had started so lovingly years back and had overlooked later on never having had the chance of returning to them. So me I treat AfDs as wake up calls. Of course another side effect is getting to the catalogue of the band concerned.

This page was nominated for speedy deletion, but I removed the tag because I didn't think that it fit the criteria and it deserved to go to a full AfD debate. The few references provided for the article are all in non-notable sources. Personally, I think this show is non-notable outside of Cinemassacre Productions and it should perhaps just be merged in as a subsection there if it is not deleted outright. Note also that there is an (unreferenced) " List of James & Mike Mondays episodes" article as well. Also note that this has been mentioned on their website [47], so there is likely to be an influx of fans commenting here (as can currently be seen on the article's Talk page).

African american men in computer science, and it's counterpart African American women in computer science are lists of non-notable people, on this list because they have achieved a Ph.D. While that is no small undertaking, particularly in an underrepresented demographic in the computer science industry, that does not equate to Wikipedia notability. An argument could be made for an article to generally discuss the underrepresentation of African-Americans in the Computer Sciences Industries, but a blanket list of those who have achieved a Ph.D. in that field is not the way to go about it. Further, there are some BLP issues, as these are effectively unsourced or poorly sourced lists of people. kelapstick( bainuu) 13:38, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Both I actually considered nominating African American women in computer science for deletion shortly after it was created, but with no apparent precendent on this type of page, I wasn't sure it was appropriate and decided to do nothing instead. However, my original concern (and my reason for !voting delete) is that we would never have an article called Caucasian American women in computer science, and while I understand African American's are a minority, that does not somehow make them anymore notable than the majority population. In the same regard that it's not appropriate to assume white people are more notable for being a majority, it's not appropriate to assume black people are more notable because they are a minority. So, if we keep this article, than the counterpart article for every race/demographic would also be appropriate, imagine the list of all those people with PhD's!!! I also would like to point out that the creator of these articles included themselves on the list at African American women in computer science, one Quincy K. Brown. So there are also COI issues. - War wizard90 ( talk) 04:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply
(See below). The page was created as a part of [ an event which sought to highlight the collective role of African-Americans in STEM fields; several attendees were notable in STEM fields in their own right. Dr. Brown was an invited guest at the event who was gracious enough to share her expertise and get this started, with my assistance. We did carefully explain that writing one's autobiography was not appropriate. Having a PhD start the list of PhDs seemed logical enough to me-- is this really some sort of problem? -- Djembayz ( talk) 04:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
I never said it was a problem, I was merely pointing out a possible conflict of interest, Wikipedia policy doesn't forbid someone with a COI from editing a topic, it is simply discouraged, and will be met with a higher level of scrutiny, so these editors should edit extremely prudently. That being said, my issue with this article is still that it is a list of non-notable people. Whereas an article discussing African Americans role in computer science would be acceptable, as would a list of notable African Americans in computer science. But a list of EVERY African American who has ever received a PhD in the field seems a little silly, like I said, they could earn a degree in that field and then not contribute a thing to the field afterword. The inclusion of EVERY African American with a PhD is exactly what causes this article to fail WP:LISTN, if the list was made up of all notable folks, it would easily pass WP:LISTN. - War wizard90 ( talk) 04:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Both Merge and clean per David Eppstein's solution Almost all use none at all, self-published, or otherwise questionable sources. One heavily used source reads:

    This list is based in part on a list compiled by Dr. Scott Williams, Professor of Mathematics at State University of New York at Buffalo: "Computer Scientists of the African Diaspora". SUNY Buffalo - Mathematicians of the African Diaspora. 2008. Retrieved 2015-02-25. As of 2008, Dr. Scott considered his list to be a complete list of all the known African Americans holding PhDs in computer science.

    This is a personal website, not a reliable source. Also, it's talking about the African Diaspora, not African Americans. Lastly, if it remains, there's plenty of names to add, begging the question of reliability for his website and the other source about the number in academia, so I'll just leave these lists here: [49] [50] [51] ―  Padenton| ✉   15:12, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Glad you are finding more recent information! If you can find a current source with listings and exact numbers of African American CS PhDs, that would certainly be a help in improving the page. Do note that people attending an editathon have to work with what they have access to on the spot, and rely on others to improve what they have started afterwards.
Also, the fact that you do not realize why the first African American PhD, or the number of African Americans in a profession is particularly significant is actually an encouraging sign. African Americans in the US were specifically barred from certain higher educational institutions, and thus from certain professions under segregation in the US. Other minorities did not always face the same levels of discrimination as African Americans. For people of a certain age in the US, it goes without saying that the moment when an educational institution or a profession actually opens up for everyone to participate is when the African Americans are welcomed. -- Djembayz ( talk) 04:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep for Upcoming Event. This is needed for Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Tech LadyMafia Edit-a-thon, April 2015: Women in Tech, coming up next Friday. Also, I don't understand why you think a computer science professor would be an unreliable source for names of other colleagues in the field. This is a pretty small group of people, most of whom would know each other, and most of whom would only be documented in this fashion. We're not talking about writing individual articles for all of the people on the list, we're talking about a baseline list that gives us something to build on for an underrepresented group, for whom few sources are available. Please note that it is sufficiently rare for African American women to receive doctorates in computer science that we were urged to further develop this topic at an editathon oh the Lost History of African Americans in STEM fields with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Tue Feb 24. Although we all hope that the day will come when an African American getting a PhD in computer science is an everyday occurence, even in 2013 a women were still in the process of breaking the color barrier when the first African American woman received CS PhD at an institution the size of Michigan State. Fifty-six practitioners in a field as of 2008 is not very many!
  • I would hope that Wikipedia would view breaking the color barrier as a notable activity, because if we don't, it doesn't speak very well for our commitment to diversity. -- Djembayz ( talk) 03:02, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep but merge into a single list of African-American computer scientists, and delete all non-bluelinked entries. The low representation of African-Americans in computer science is well-known, problematic, and not likely to be difficult to find sources for (e.g. Google gives me 100k hits for the exact phrase "African-American computer scientists"). The low representation of women in computer science is also well known, problematic, and easily sourced. But it's not clear to me that when we start intersecting categories like this, that we still have notability: what are the issues that specifically affect African-American men in computer science, but are not common to African-American men in other STEM fields, or to other African-American computer scientists? And where do we list the computer scientists who don't identify as part of the traditional gender scale (if any of those happen also to be African-American)? Additionally, with many unsourced redlinked and unlinked entries (and many more people that could be added), we have issues with WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Incidentally, these lists are currently far from complete: several additional names can be found by searching Wikipedia for the phrases "African-American" and "computer scientist". — David Eppstein ( talk) 05:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, per nominator's points. Most importantly, I do not think the article has shown that merely being an African American with a PhD in CS is notable enough for other Wikipedia:Reliable sources to cover this list. As sources we have one survey that lists tenure-track professors (which is not the same as PhD in CS; there are plenty of CS PhDs that aren't professors), and one personal web page, that lists "The African Diaspora" (which is not the same as African-Americans - for example it lists at least one Nigerian). And we have the personal say so of a volunteer. So basically this list is Wikipedia:Original research.

  • Delete as nominated. Whether an individual is notable or not is not based on ethnicity; notability must be asserted through Wikipedia guidelines for each individual on the list FIRST, then a list should be derived from the articles of notable individuals. ScrapIronIV ( talk) 15:45, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep My reading of WP:LISTN is that notability applies to the list as a whole, not the individual entries. So the notability, or lack thereof, of any of these people on either list is not relevant; which negates many of the deletion arguments made here. I can't see how BLP applies to a simple list of names; they aren't biographies and contain no potentially libelous information. The topic is one that has plausibly been discussed as a group in reliable sources. Whatever technical flaws that remain with the lists are fixable over time: the lists have potential. Further, the nominator states "An argument could be made for an article to generally discuss the underrepresentation of African-Americans in the Computer Sciences Industries". While this isn't the end of that process, it is a part of that and a list often serves as the backbone for creating relevant articles around a topic. Some of these names may lead to future biographical articles (not, I repeat, that that is necessary under Wikipedia policy). I would say that extends the "has potential" argument from just the two lists under discussion to the entire topic group that may, potentially, exist one day. - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 16:50, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Right, but right now the article doesn't show what WP:LISTN requires, which is that reliable sources have actually written about African American PhDs in CS as such. Are there sources for that? I've read plenty of articles about underrepresentation of various groups in CS. But none that tried to give a list of PhDs. CS is a field in which having a PhD isn't nearly as important as in some others. -- GRuban ( talk) 18:47, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply
I've added some references to show that this is a subject of discussion. I don't have time to do an exhaustive search for more citations but I think this is ample to show that they exist. Wiki articles don't need to be perfect right away, they just need potential for future improvement, which I hope I have demonstrated. I have no opinion on merging the lists. I don't think unlinked names should be removed: it is not required at all under Wikipedia policy, it would be counter-productive to just eliminate the seeds of potential future articles, and it is unnecessary given the apparently small number of African-Americans with CS doctorates in the US. - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 14:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply
...and now some of them have been removed for spurious reasons by Padenton. Nevertheless, there are several publications that make a point of Computer Science PhD's and African-Americans; which is enough to support my point. There's another at insidehighered.com. A table of Africa-American PhD's vs. overall award for the year could probably be built using the NSF data and would be relevant to the topic. - AdamBMorgan ( talk) 14:15, 14 April 2015 (UTC) reply
There are several data sources such as the Taulbee Report and NSF that annually report data on the topic of these pages. These can easily be added to the pages as sources. It's also worth noting that until recently, when tech companies began reporting demographic data, there was little public discussion of the lack of minority presence in CS see here, here, and here for very recent articles on the topic.

Thank you for the clarification Mark, and without looking for statistics, I am sure you are correct, computer scientists and academics are underrepresented occupations on Wikipedia. Naturally these sorts of lists can be included within Wikipedia, and if you, or someone else cares to work these lists into a decent article that meets the Heyman Standard, I would be glad to change my position. As mentioned, blue linked articles grouped by occupation (and/or ethnicity) are generally acceptable, but blanket lists of non-notable people are not, and that is what we have here. Also worthy of note, the deletion of these versions of the article does not prelude their recreation according to Wikipedia standards. -- kelapstick( bainuu) 23:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC) reply

@MarkBernstein: Your initial argument is an "Aunt Minnie Argument," courtesy of the great Jewish film director, Billy Wilder--concerning Marilyn Monroe.

  • Keep per WP:LISTN - As noted previously, this page was created as part of the White House Edit-a-thon Lost History of African Americans in STEM fields with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Tue Feb 24.. The goal for creating the pages was not to be a list for the sake of creating a list but to be an article/list about individual African Americans in Computer Science, per se but on the group as a collective. Thus, it is the grouping of the members in the broader context that is notable. The purpose creating separate pages was to have the women's list include mention of intersectionality and issues that are unique to individuals who are women in a male dominated field and African Americans. There are numerous articles on the topic [52], [53]. The National Academies Press published a report on the topic of Women of Color in Academia [54] that are focused on the topic intersectionality and women of color in STEM as well as those that highlight the issue in Computer Science [55], [56]. Furthermore the National Science Foundation publishes a report focused on Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering that includes data on minority women [57]. The data on the pages can be gathered using national databases. The page does need to be updated to reflect the importance and unique experiences of African American Women in CS. Per WP:LISTN, " Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable..." The articles have potential WP:HASPOT and can be improved.

  • Move to project space as someone mentioned that the lists were created due to an event about our coverage of racial minorities and women in STEM. The argument for deletion is that the black people on the lists are not notable. Some may be notable, but do not have articles due to systemic bias, such as limited interest from Wikipedians or reliable sources that are difficult to access. Perhaps two lists in mainspace is not the best way to deal with this important issue (unequal opportunities and imbalanced coverage), but until a better alternative is developed, deleting the lists will just reinforce racism and sexism, both on Wikipedia and in STEM. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 01:29, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
This would be appropriate if it was plausible to believe that most or many of the names would meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. On the contrary, the vast majority of PhD holders do not meet wikipedia's notability guidelines. Deleting non-notable entries in a list doesn't reinforce racism or sexism. When the articles are finally created, I'm sure the authors (or someone else) will add them to the list. ―  Padenton| ✉   02:19, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Amazing that so many argue that breaking the color bar is not a notable activity. We need some explicit changes to policy on this. Where do we propose them? -- Djembayz ( talk) 12:54, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Djembayz: at WP:VPP. It's less breaking a 'color bar', more being interested in a specific field and putting in the effort to complete a PhD. It's an issue of systemic bias, not racism (anymore). Especially in CS (moreso than other STEM fields), there's also an economic component. A PhD can take 5-7 years living with little money, while every CS can get the top-paying jobs for new college grads, and by getting the work experience instead, not only will they have made on average $250,000-$350,000 more during those years, their work experience can be more valuable than a PhD. No disrespect intended towards any participants here who completed the gauntlet, but while in other science fields (i.e. Chemistry, Physics) students are expected far more often to take their education to the master's/doctorate level, CS students have much lower rates of continuing to the PhD. ―  Padenton| ✉   14:53, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Padenton: Racism and sexism have not magically disappeared. Poor black and female representation in computer science is a real and important issue. Black and female contributions to computer science is a real and important issue. Barriers that black people and females face in computer science is a real and important issue. Could you suggest (and actually contribute to) good approaches for dealing with these real and important issues, since these two lists are clearly bad approaches? If the list is moved to project space, would you still argue that it should be deleted or would you let the community determine which people on the list are indeed notable? Being the first black graduate from a historically segregated university or an advocate for fellow female computer scientists could attract additional coverage, which increases notability. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 16:30, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
When did it become part of Wikipedia's brief to deal with whatever biases may or may not exist in the field of computer science? Eric Corbett 16:46, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Of course, Wikipedia is not in a position to improve black and female representation in computer science, but we certainly can (and should) improve our coverage of these real and important issues. -- Hildanknight ( talk) 17:00, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
But this isn't an article about those issues, it's simply a list of largely non-notable people who happen to have a PhD. Eric Corbett 17:15, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply

But there's a world of difference between the two lists. Is it really necessary to point out that the mere possession of a PhD does not make one either an academic or a computer scientist? Eric Corbett 16:12, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment And by your example, you prove our point. The list you linked to is a list of Medal of Honor Recipients, notable by their accomplishments by definition; compiling a list of inherently notable people is wonderful! Establish notability of these subjects, create their articles, and THEN we make a list. Easy, peasy. Otherwise, it's just a list of non-notable people. ScrapIronIV ( talk) 16:13, 15 April 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment There are quite a few issues raised in these discussions however the page has been updated to include references related to African American women in CS. The topic of African American Women in Computer Science is a notable topic. As listed in the [ notability guidline] ("If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list."), African American women in CS have been written about in reliable sources and the issue is easily verifiable. The sources are secondary, e.g. National Academies, and independent. Quincykbrown ( talk) 21:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)quincykbrown reply
  • My feeling here is that all of your arguments would be excellent arguments for an article specifically discussing the general topic of African Americans in CS, such an article could discuss the biases and so forth, but it still doesn't make any sense to have a huge list of mostly non-notable people. No prejudice against a list of notable African American computer scientists (even without the qualifier of earning a PhD), also no prejudice against moving this to the project page for a major overhaul and a better approach to discussing these important topics. As it is though, this article does not meet the criteria for inclusion, in my opinion. - War wizard90 ( talk) 04:04, 16 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I found a somewhat descriptive entry for MobyGames for one of the series' games I know MobyGames is unreliable as it relies on user-submitted content, but that was the only decent description I could find. The game looks pretty awful for December 2000. What I don't understand is that it's a fairly contemporary game series and there are almost no sources for it. I've seen other black holes for some games on the internet but a search from the VG custom search engine finds nothing on the series. Somebody asked what happened to Lozenge and Hampshire but I can see why this is up for deletion if there are no sources. I don't think this is salvagable, so sadly I would support a deletion unless something comes up. ☠ Jag uar ☠ 15:52, 11 April 2015 (UTC) reply

*Delete The 2 ostensibly independent sources fail WP:RS. They are not "published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." The editor of the previous article recommendation is the primary author of the actual article. Tapered ( talk) 22:50, 8 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Two Questions
  • On 8 April, when I made my recommendation, there were four references in the article, 2 from LinkedIn and 2 from obscure sources--the 2 to which I referred. You're not disqualified--and I didn't say so--but the size of the entry (see attempt @ humor in comment) was inappropriate. I didn't check any of the sources. More appropriate would have been to put the sources in the article (as you've since done), and left a statement to that effect. As to why I pointed out your authorship, please see WP:AVOIDCOI. Next I'm going to strike out my "delete," because with the new refs it seems to me that the article satisfies WP:N. Tapered ( talk)

  • Merge to existing Bellingham School District article. Redirecting to the city when there is a school district article would be a bit silly. Note WP:OUTCOMES is an essay, not a policy or guideline. It also says articles are typically redirected to school districts in North America. Speaking of guidelines, did the nominator heed WP:BEFORE (part D), since the main concern here is notability? Note I've redirected plenty of middle schools to school districts and usually don't have a problem with that, just making sure we do our due diligence. The fact that the former middle school building used to serve as a now-defunct high school (those are considered notable, even the defunct ones) should at least get a mention in the school district article if redirected, but I would consider the former high school status a weak claim to notability for a stand-alone article. However, since the old building has apparently been razed, alternately, create an article for Whatcom High School and redirect the middle school to the district.

  • Comment. I do think that WP:NCOMP is not inclusive enough when it comes to NGOs. But this requires expert input, difficult to come by in our community. I see several passing mentions - one in a book, few in newspapers. They seem to run something called World Yoga Sports Championship, which could perhaps be notable, given coverage in [59] and [60], through it's borderline. The federation could be merged there, I guess, as there are no other independent sources out there about it outside several similar pieces about it sponsoring some sort of an event. However, as I mentioned earlier, this is true for numerous NGOs which we nonetheless allow to stay here, pointing IMHO at the need to change a part of NCOMP. Sill, unless any yoga/sport experts will chime in saying that this is an organization that is recognized in the field, I don't see how we can keep this substub. For now, I'll bid my time - please ping me if any substantial argument is made here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:45, 1 April 2015 (UTC) reply

I can sort of understand the nominators thinking at first, but this hardly a person with "No evidence of notabilty." I myself took the time to read the entire article in its rather "raw" state. All the references were in the article at the initial state. The article just was not formatted correctly. I tried to start formatting it correctly from the start. It really makes me wonder if the nominator followed WP:BEFORE, since the article clearly stated from the beginning the points that give the article's subject notability:

  • Received a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Service, for his chairmanship of The Los Angeles City Bicentennial Committee from Mayor Tom Bradley on 28 September 1976.
  • He also received theBronze Medallion of Mexico City from Dr. Carlos Hank Gonzalez, Mayor of Mexico City, in 1981 for his contributions toward the Mexico City is Sister City of Los Angeles project.
  • In 1984 Peter Ueberroth, President of the Olympic Committee, along with Harry L. Usher and Paul Ziffren, presented him a Certificate and Bronze Medal for his contributions to the success of the 23rd Olympiad held in Los Angeles known also as the 1984 Summer Olympics.

  • Comment Nowhere have I suggested deletion. The edits to the article add useful material to it. It now needs a tranche of work to knock it into shape. Your work has assuredly rescued it from deletion in my eyes, but that is not what my !vote here is towards. My view is that this is better performed as a draft rather than a main namespace article, the more so since WP:AFD is not really intended to clean an article up. There is a likelihood that his discussion will close with a migration to Draft: namespace. If I am correct then you should submit it for review while tightening the article and its referencing. This will be the best of all possible outcomes with the present state of the article, because there will be peace and quiet to work, without the urgency of defending agains a deletion discussion.

But I'm not inclined to correct systemic bias by keeping this article: I'd probably argue, in dissent, for the deletion of the US version too. As for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2014 Wichita King Air crash, it is a complete farce. Here, as in there, the WP:NOTNEWS argument is correct, and there is no lasting impact per WP:EVENT.

However, it is light on sources at the moment, which means it is difficult to argue that WP:GNG is met. Death toll of six is not really high enough to argue that an article should stand on that criteria either. Mjroots ( talk) 19:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Regardless of the socks and whatnot, there's obviously not enough coverage of this person, thus this becomes a promotional vanity bio at best. Having a distinguished or impressive CV does not notability make, at least not how we define it. There are thousands of people in the world that work behind the scenes in film and television, and very few of them ever receive significant coverage in media, mostly because they are behind the scenes. I have worked on notable desktop and web applications over the years, but I don't rate an article on Wikipedia even if the products do.
