No need for this when we have List of bus routes in Taichung, Sources are pretty much either service updates or times & maps,
I personally prefer redirecting but would rather see what others think first. – Davey2010 Talk 23:55, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Entirely unsourced one-line stub about a local recording studio, which makes no claim of notability that would satisfy WP:CORP. Has been tagged as a possible WP:HOAX, although I don't know if we can really assume that definitively — it may just be a non-notable local business. But either way it's a delete if it can't be sourced. Bearcat ( talk) 23:45, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as lacking sources. Stuartyeates ( talk) 03:30, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. The original version of the article (which you can see here) shows that this was one person's attempt to promote their own business on Wikipedia. Even their username "Afoxbiz" confirms this. Basically this is/was a recording studio that some guy set up in his house. If no one objects I'm going to go ahead and snow close this as delete since there's zero coverage out there (as this was some guy with a recording set up in his house) other than Wikipedia mirrors and was an over the top, blatantly promotional attempt to provide his business with legitimacy in the early days of Wikipedia. I'll reopen this if anyone can show otherwise, but from what I can see this isn't going to end with anything other than a delete. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:18, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - First off, it is complete bullshit to lock down the gutted version of this article ahead of an AfD. Material deleted may have been unsourced, but it was uncontroversial and not necessarily wrong, and it is utterly impossible to improve the article at AfD in this state. This is absolutely a violation of the spirit of AfD and a classic example of the abuse of administrative tools to settle a content matter. Full protection should immediately be lifted and content restored for the duration of this debate. Carrite ( talk) 17:53, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - For much of the developed world malls are the downtown shopping areas of today. We treat towns with kid gloves but here we are intent upon using a steamroller, largely because of the activities of anti-COI partisans. Well, guess what, this shopping mall passes our general notability guideline for having been dealt with substantially in multiple, independently published sources of presumed reliability. HERE is coverage of an art installation at the mall by the San Diego Cultural Arts Alliance via KPBS. And MORE on that project via Pomerado News. And THIS IS the San Diego Union-Times, reporting extensively and substantially on a mall expansion in 2008, noting that this facility has been in place since the John F. Kennedy administration. And HERE is coverage of Mission Valley Center in the "Mall Hall of Fame." This article cites other works as sources (deadlinks, unfortunately), including www.history.sandiego.edu/ and Mitch Glaser's "Paradox Unbound" via history.sandiego.edu/ and Libby Brydolf's "Mission Valley's Transformation" (1998), via www.sandiegometro.com/ And so on and on and on by anybody willing to follow WP:BEFORE and actually search the internet for sources.

It doesn't count towards GNG, but HERE'S a photo of the mall at opening day in March 1961 — over half a century ago. And AGAIN the San Diego Union-Tribune talking about the 1958 decision to authorize the mall, regarded as a seminal event in local history. COVERAGE of a temporary skating rink and Mission Valley Mall from Mission Valley News. And SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE covering the Mall as a party in a lawsuit over a shooting there which I have not mentioned previously. The number of news stories in the San Diego press between 1958 and launch in 1961 are no doubt substantial. And on and on... I've gotta go to work. Carrite ( talk) 18:35, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply

This is a neutral and procedural nomination made on behalf of the contributing editor, who has requested on his talk page that this be deleted. He is, however, not the only contributor, so speedy deletion as originator is closed to him. The draft he created was accepted at WP:AFC, and much of the unrerefenced (and much desired by him) facts were stripped out. He now wishes those alleged facts to be reinstated or the article to be deleted.

I will record my own opinion below in due course. I am simply making this nomination on his behalf since he expresses the desire strongly but appears to be unaware of how to proceed

It has been explained to him that it is unlikely to be deleted because the gentleman is notable. Fiddle Faddle 22:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep After studying the plaudits and accolades given to the gentleman there is more that sufficient for keeping this article being a no brainer. He passes the criteria for notability. He is a public figure and well known in his musical genre. We should not delete based on the whim of an editor who wishes to exert WP:OWN over this article. Fiddle Faddle 23:47, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, meets Notability easily as a relatively unique performer who's attracted national-level attention as an African-American country music yodeler. Subject is a public figure, so I don't agree with deleting the article simply because he's not pleased with our removing unsourced/POV content that he wishes to have included.

  • Delete (opining as a proxy for the initial contributing editor) It is abundantly clear everywhere except in this discussion, that the original editor and the subject of this autobiography wishes to delete the material. He has placed this information on user talk pages, though not with a rationale other than not being happy with the content of the current article. I am thus recording this opinion here without copying and pasting the material, and in the interests of completeness. Should that editor post here then this proxy deletion !vote is irrelevant and may be struck by any editor without reference to me and must be disregarded by the closing admin.

Yes, I definitely want the article deleted if you insist on using the butchered result currently posted. I submitted a 3-page piece which MatthewVanitis edited and it looked good. However, his final edit, an approximate 10-word piece is an extreme butchering that in no way gives your readers an insight into my ‘country music’ credentials. Especially when I look at other artists’ Wikipedia coverage, I consider this an insult!

Notability be damned. You have a chance to get it right even in Matthew’s brief passage, yet your arrogant stance of

“So while we of course recognize that in the larger world, accuracy is the goal, on an encyclopedia our concern is how documentable a fact is…”

I believe legitimate encyclopedias are concerned with accuracy, the very reason most people use them.

“So on a certain level, we literally don't care whether a fact in Plantenga's book or in a Washington Post article is completely accurate, we care that it's clearly documented. I find this position arrogant. Especially when informed by the source the documented information is wrong.

“Whereas if you make "corrections" based on your personal knowledge, that just makes the article weaker because each such edit decreases its Verifiability.” Nonsense. My music archives contains hundreds of supporting documents and photographs. Where do you think these ‘writers’ get their information?

MatthewVanitis’ final edit and post: Mike Johnson (born 1946) is an African-American country music singer, songwriter, and yodeler living in Arlington, Virginia. Raised in a Catholic family in Washington, DC, Johnson began yodeling in the 1950s, influenced by the music of Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers, and by the "Tarzan yell" of actor Johnny Weissmuller.[1] Johnson served in the US Navy in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969, and later became a truck driver,[2] first recording his music in 1981 and selling the homemade tapes at a Union 76 gas station in Alabama.[3] Johnson founded Pata del Lobo Music publishing in 1982, and Roughshod Records in 1987.[3]

Bart’s presentation erroneously implies that I started recording homemade tapes at home and releasing them. “…first recording his music in 1981 and selling the homemade tapes at a Union 76 gas station…”

My first release was a 45rpm record resulting from a 5-song recording session in Nashville Tennessee. You don’t do homemade releases in a studio! In 1983 I produced one homemade cassette and it was never sold in any gas station. In 1986 I released a Nashville recorded and produced cassette which was also sold at the Union 76 Truck Stop in Montgomery, Alabama, and about 10 other truck stops around the country. The inclusion of Nashville is a very important distinction when dealing with country artists. I have never been known as the “No.1 Black Yodelin’ Trucker.”

If you can’t go with these minor changes below, delete everything. I’m not that desperate to be on your site. “Mike Johnson (born 1946) is an African-American country music singer, songwriter, yodeler, living in Arlington, Virginia, and most famously known as Country Music’s No.1 Black Yodeler. Raised in a Catholic family in Washington, DC, Johnson began yodeling in the 1950s, influenced by the music of Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers, and by the “Tarzan yell” of actor Johnny Weissmuller. Johnson served in the US Navy in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969. He went to Nashville in 1981 for his first recording session and released a 45 rpm single. Johnson founded Pata del Lobo Music publishing in 1982 and Roughshod Records in 1987. The label released its 49th and 50th CDs in November 2014.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Black Yodel No.1 ( talkcontribs) 22:10, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Quasi-promotional WP:BLP of a public speaker, resting almost entirely on primary sources. Although there are a couple of reliable sources here, every one of them is covering him specifically in the context of an unsuccessful candidacy for election to his local school board — which isn't a role that would satisfy WP:NPOL even if he'd won the election. Which means that the article isn't making or sourcing a proper claim of notability that would make him a keepable topic, because neither primary sources nor coverage of an unsuccessful campaign for a non-notable office count for anything toward meeting WP:GNG.

Article about a band which makes no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, strikes a very advertorial rather than encyclopedic tone — and was written by a member of the band (compare creator's username to the name of the guitarist), which makes it a WP:COI violation. Most of the sourcing here, further, is of the bloggy variety, with the few appropriately reliable sources (New York Times, WXPN) being short blurbs that aren't substantive enough to get a band over WP:GNG. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when they accomplish something that satisfies NMUSIC, but right now it's a promotional advertisement rather than a proper encyclopedia article, and thus needs to be deleted.

  • Comment: I'm finding some evidence that there should be coverage somewhere since it was mentioned in this book, but so far I'm leaning towards a redirect to the author.

  • I'm finding it hard to pin down when this was first shown. So far the earliest has been at the Liverpool Biennial in 2010.

  • Comment: The articles on this piece aren't just routine mentions - this piece has received quite a bit of coverage. In the Culture24 link Jaar talks about the piece and in Diario de Sevilla the article's writer actually gives their opinion on the work. If they were just offhand mentioning it that'd be one thing, but their commentary turns the article into a review of sorts for the installation. (IE, they say that it was a fairly timely piece, that it would be thought provoking, and that it'd open up debate.) Many of the other news articles do the same thing for the most part. What also pushed this for me is that this was a pretty central piece whenever it was shown, which is something that would be considered a sign of notability for artworks as well.

Articles proposed for deletion:

The topics covered here have no business being on WP. They are directly from a textbook, and we do not give this treatment to other sources. We are not a repository of such knowledge, and it is not encyclopedic to have the sources alone. Such information is already in the public domain editions of the 1918 textbook and doesn't need to be here.

In addition, they've already served their purpose. Many of these articles were created in 2006 when a large amount of content was taken from Gray's Anatomy 20th edition (1918) and put onto Wikipedia, a process that greatly expanded our anatomical content. The relevant pages have already been entered into anatomy articles (and now transwikied to wikidata) and so are now redundant.

In view of what I've said, I'm proposing deletion.

I couldn't verify that this meets notability. Last AfD 6 years ago, with no consensus. Has been tagged for notability for over 7 years. Hopefully, we can now get some resolution. Boleyn ( talk) 19:59, 27 June 2015 (UTC) reply

"(T)agged for notability for over 7 years" isn't exactly accurate. About six and a half years ago it was deleted (replaced with a redirect). Someone undeleted it a couple weeks ago for whatever reason, but didn't do anything to the article. I'm only here because I got an email from Wikipedia about this deletion discussion.
I gave up back then as I couldn't make any sense out of what the Wikipedia folks want; comparing the Con of the North article at the time to similar game convention articles at the time that weren't marked with notability issues and put up for deletion gave no guidance.
My recommendation would be to Keep for now and let a new era of interested editors take a crack at it. It's been six years, after all. Parody ( talk) 05:43, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Thanks for making a clearer statement than I did, Parody. I brought it to AfD because of the revertion, but a redirect to List_of_gaming_conventions#West_North_Central is a reasonable alternative to deletion, in my opinion. In terms of its notability, looking at what WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS often isn't useful, but please look at WP:NOTABILITY. Do you think it meets the guidelines as notable, and if so, are you able to verify it? Best wishes, Boleyn ( talk) 06:41, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Re: Redirecting: It's not in that list as that list specifically requires an article. Without an entry in the list a redirect is inappropriate. (In fact, when someone added the article back to the list after the recent undeletion someone else immediately removed the entry citing "write the article first".)
Re: Notability: I think it's just as notable as other game conventions that have not had their Wikipedia articles deleted. Whether that means notability in this niche needs better consideration or more game convention articles need deletion isn't for me to decide. Verification is difficult in either case, as many conventions don't go searching for press coverage to be proven notable in Wikipedia terms. Parody ( talk) 01:23, 30 June 2015 (UTC) reply

It makes no sense. It has one series of numbering regardless of role.

Comment: Wikimandia Your examples don't support your argument. Both the lists you cite are just of Heads of State. Within those articles each position is neatly separated out into a separate list. They also have the supporting articles for Heads of government, Prime Minister of Yugoslavia and List of Prime Ministers of Bulgaria. Your argument would require the articles List of heads of state or government of Yugoslavia and List of heads of state or government of Bulgaria.
My point is that this article mushes 4 posts and 2 roles into 1 poorly organised list. Bazj ( talk) 07:47, 5 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • keep. Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen was inducted to the Portuguese National Pantheon in 2014, as one of the most significant writers in Portuguese history. Her books are still best sellers, a reference in public school, adapted for theatre, and so on. Specifically A Fada Oriana is one of the best known of her books. (yet, somehow shamefully, I do not recall reading a single one of them... I guess it got into school curricula more recently years after I was a child myself) I added a few references for these facts. My prose is not the best, and there are better references for sure, but currently they tend to get buried beneath the many news about selling books, school notes, and Sophias' recent induction to the Pantheon- Nabla ( talk)
  • Keep. Meets WP:NBOOK, here are the present references cited in the article, thankyou Nabla:
1. [8] - The Sea Girl and the Oriana Fairy reach the Pantheon, The Observer (Portugal), - Portuguese writers and artists discussing legacy of Andresen including Oriana,
2. [9] - MEC Associates to the homage to Sophia De Mello Breyner Andresen - Portuguese Ministry of Education honoring Anderson and stating the works used in schools - "In basic education, the list of authors and Portuguese texts hosts, for example, The Oriana fairy",
3. [10] - Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen tale today takes the stage at the Port The magical world of Fairy Oriana - Theatrical performance of Oriana, appears to be media release/announcement, not a review.
4. [11] - The Oriana Fairy "this afternoon at the Centro Cultural de Campo Maior - another article announcing theatrical production,
5. [12] - The Fairy Oriana: A Fairy Oriana, Sophia de Mello Breyner Adresen Under the Master in Illustration - a graphic designer's illustrated version of book (book was originally illustrated by Teresa Calem).

I have found the following through google which also contribute to show notability:

[13] - Mexico: Launch translation to Spanish of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen - Press release anouncing launch of Spanish translation of the book at the 32nd International Children's Book Fair of 2012
[14] ORIANA Animation British Columbia as part of the 6th annual Vancouver Women in Film Festival, March 4-6 - film showing announcement, "A whimsical 3D animated fairytale adapted from the iconic Portuguese novel"
[15] Recent Portuguese Publications Bulletin 42 September 2004 Part XVI: Literature, Literary History, Criticism, Essays, Correspondence - Book dealer's catalogue advertising CARDONA, Irene, and Maria Amelia Almeida. The Oriana Fairy Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen: analysis of the work. 4th ed. Lisbon: Text Publishing, 2003. Collection New Readings, dealer's description is "Aimed at 5th year Portuguese elementary school students, we feel this book can be useful for university undergraduates studying Portuguese literature outside of Portugal."
[16] The presence of “marvellous” in Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen’s ‘A fada Oriana’ by Maria do Carmo Mendes, researcher and professor of Comparitive literature at Minho University, Portugal - a paper presented at 2008 International Conference on Children's Literature and Culture
[17] "In the Path of True Teaching of Children's Literature" The "Fairy Oriana" of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen - Master degree dissertation discussing the study of The Fairy Oriana in the 4th grade.
(this link triggered wikiblacklist so editors will just have to trust me (or google it themselves:)) Canon: reminiscences of students and teachers - paper produced by School of Education of Viseu (IPV), Port and Douro Wines Institute discussing Portuguese school literary canon which includes this book.
[18] The magical world of fairy Oriana by Ana Cristina Pereira - review of theatre presentation, slightly advertorial(?)
From the above, it can be seen that this books meets WP:NBOOK ie. 1 and 4. Please note, that as i do not speak/read Portuguese i have had to rely on english-language google and google translate to find these, there are still more but I think this should be enough.

The article fails all notability guidelines. There is a single linked-in post by the same author that mentions this "standard" methodology.

94.210.76.161 ( talk) disagree. This is not an advertisement of promotion of my own methodology. It is a writeup on how IBM does analytical engagements. As such, it is interesting to read for other analytical practitioners. As mentioned in the article, the work of data scientists contains a lot of tacit knowledge. That is, the ways of working are not put in books or readable format. I tried to change that with this write up. Again: no original research, I document a process that many people (also outside of IBM) follow, but has never been put in writing. — Preceding undated comment added 13:08, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

114.108.212.96 ( talk)how can this still be up for deletion if in the discussions there's no objection? I researched many other Wiki pages, to find that many topics on Wiki are in fact write-ups on things that exist, but have not been explained in so much detail before. For example, look at https://transferwise.com/support/customer/en/portal/articles This contains all the articles of Transferwise, but none of those articles discusses the "how it works" section here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransferWise. So, is this reason for deletion? — Preceding undated comment added 04:06, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

@ 114.108.212.96: Citing an article that you believe has issues does not address the substance of the issues with this article: 1) its is non-notable (no other mention of this other than recent posts by the author of the Wikipedia entry), 2) Original Research (no citations where this methodology has been discussed other than those connected with the author, 3) IP issues - it is unclear if this is the intellectual property of IBM and if the author has the authority to publish. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a journal or general publication. As such it should only record knowledge which can be demonstrated to be widely know and discussed other than by those who have created and/or own the intellectual property. 1.136.97.2 ( talk) 22:57, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply

The result was Consensus to delete - Consensus seems to be that this is not an encyclopedic topic. While those seeking to keep did demonstrate that sources exist they did not demonstrate that this had any notability beyond being a fringe theory. Thus the result is deletion without prejudice against recreation if you can address the concerns in this AfD.

If anyone is interested in merging to Southern United States they can request undeletion for the purposes of merging, but I don't see a consensus for that here. I would suggest getting consensus at Talk:Southern United States first as it is a long article and probably needs to pick and choose its content. Chillum 20:19, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

I agree with this merge. Great work Larry. My main concern from here is the edgy nature of this article.

Sulfurboy ( talk) 01:39, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
I've got the article on my watchlist, but I'd be happy with a merge to Southern United States because it seems to be a pretty niche view that Southerners constitute an ethnic group, and better covered there than in its own article unless more sources can be found. Cordless Larry ( talk) 08:00, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Delete - This article makes me cringe! Southerners in and of themselves are not an "ethnic group" anymore than mid-westerners, northerners, or any other part of the United States. There is nothing WP:NPOV about leading off with "White Southerners" as the criteria. Is the author implying that anyone without white skin cannot be considered a Southerner? We don't need this flawed POV, cited with decades old sourcing, merged. This has one point of view, and it doesn't meet Wikipedia criteria. No way. — Maile ( talk) 21:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I agree, that single opinion does not warrant an article, as WP:GNG requires multiple independent sources, not one (questionable) individual. Especially given that this single author's opinions are over 30 years old, if there were any merit to this article's subject someone would have picked up on it and there would be sources but there seems to be nothing of the sort. - Aoidh ( talk) 06:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply
    • On a purely technical note, it's untrue to say that the article is based on the work of one author alone. Predating Reed is Lewis Killian's work, and some other authors are mentioned. The idea has also received secondary coverage (e.g. from Dillman and M. G. Smith). Dillman notes that "this concept of Southerners as a distinct American ethnic group has been presented for more than a decade, and it continues to gain momentum". Whether we agree with use of the concept or not, it's clearly not just the idea of one author. Cordless Larry ( talk) 15:58, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Whether or not Southerners constitute an ethnic group is clearly open to debate, but this article does at least now attempt to reflect that debate. As I mentioned above, the article doesn't say that Southerners are an ethnic group, but that they are considered by some authors to be an ethnic group.

No assertion of adequate notability. Not enough coverage in reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails general notability guidelines and WP:NAUTHOR.

  • Comment. The subject's entry in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (which is already rather cryptically cited in the article) verifies the facts currently in the article, and I would tend to regard the fact that the entry exists as a fairly strong indicator of his notability. However, beyond the facts already in the article, the encyclopedia entry only mentions that he is a journalist and travel writer (and is therefore presumably the same person as the co-author of a guide to Italy that turns up on Google searches). And there doesn't appear to be much else online - my guess is that there are further sources from the 1970s that are still offline, but unless we can find them, we have no means of telling whether they would be sufficient (together with the encyclopedia entry) to firmly establish notability. PWilkinson ( talk) 18:55, 4 July 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Please see SF Encyclopedia - Note on Content. They "have attempted to give an individual entry to every writer who has published an (inarguably) sf book in English – or had one translated into English...". Inclusion in E of SF provides zero indication of notability. I agree there might be some coverage from the 70's but until someone finds it 'might' is not a reason for an article per notability requires verification. There needs to be some indication that sources actually exist.

  • Keep, included also in The Science Fiction Source Book (1984). I don't agree with the blanket dismissal of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. If you cite the GNG, which I think is a poor crutch at the best of times, this sort of reference in a reliable source should be admitted. Charles Matthews ( talk) 07:53, 6 July 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Charles Matthews: 'Admitting' it, whatever that means, is not the issue. All the entry says is he wrote four books and his birth date. There is nothing notable in the entry and the mere fact of having an entry is not notable since the inclusion criteria is 'written a science fiction book'. WP:NAUTHOR requires that an author have done something other than simply write a book or even several. Does The Science Fiction Source Book (1984) you mention have any additional information on him? Can you provide the entry so I can use it to improve the article? It would be a great help if you could since it is the only other source I know of. Thank you. Jbh Talk 20:13, 6 July 2015 (UTC) reply
On the second point, the book is visible to me in a Google Books snippet, found by the search "Wilson, Robert Hendrie"; the sort of search that I would think comes under WP:BEFORE#Nominating article(s) for deletion, section D, where it mentions Google Books search. While we are on guidelines, your argument goes to show that you should have nominated this article for speedy deletion, by the way, under section B of the "please be sure to" there.
Actually I take another view. The reason that the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction can "get away" with including obscure authors is that people want to look them up. A reference work such as this one can give somewhat better coverage. I also saw, as below, that Wilson is now a journalist, but he has published a travel book also. An article on him would serve a need. Charles Matthews ( talk) 05:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC) reply
The Google Books version simply shows him as one of 3-4 authors on one page in the index. As near as I can see it is little, if anything, more than than the E of SF entry. 'Wanting to look up' and 'serving a need' are not, in my firm opinion, legitimate reasons for keeping the article unless it can be shown he has passed the minimal guidelines we have for notability which I do not think bare mentions contribute to. Of course others have different opinions on on this so we have AfD. Cheers. Jbh Talk 11:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Indeed, WP:GNG is a sufficient condition for inclusion of a topic, not a necessary one: "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." So I regard its use as an argument for deletion to be tendentious, even fallacious. This is a reference site, so of course whether or not people generally would want to look up a topic here is relevant.
To go back to the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, the article links to one on Robert Hale Limited the publishers. Now we should have an article on the publishers, who had a stable of authors, and what we know about Wilson could usefully appear in such an article. I.e. if that other article existed I'd be happy to merge this one into it. Charles Matthews ( talk) 04:52, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply
You are welcome to your view of the notability guidelines but Wikipedia policy and practice is that if a subject does not meet GNG or a subject specific notability guideline it should be deleted.

I am unaware of any articles which simply list a publisher's stable of authors unless those authors are in and of themselves notable. In particular this would be a way to get any published author a redirect page. That is something beyond the scope of AfD. Jbh Talk 11:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply

"Wikipedia policy"? WP:DEL-REASON mentions GNG only obliquely: under #7, you could say. I would set the bar quite high for "thorough research".
Certainly many people do in practice call for deletion on the basis of GNG, at AfD, and also many people nominate without (as you show) troubling with the steps actually called for by WP:BEFORE. This is a view of guidelines that sees them mainly as a way of winning arguments, rather than what they mainly are intended for, namely to indicate the expectations that Wikipedia has of editors.
There is another source that mentions Wilson, by the way, Souls in Metal: an anthology of robot futures (1977). It is very easy to find on Google Books.
Now that I have done research on the publishers, I see much better what is going on, though. I am striking my "Keep": and WP:AUTHOR probably does apply. Charles Matthews ( talk) 04:43, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Entirely unsourced one-line stub about a local recording studio, which makes no claim of notability that would satisfy WP:CORP. Has been tagged as a possible WP:HOAX, although I don't know if we can really assume that definitively — it may just be a non-notable local business. But either way it's a delete if it can't be sourced. Bearcat ( talk) 23:45, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as lacking sources. Stuartyeates ( talk) 03:30, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. The original version of the article (which you can see here) shows that this was one person's attempt to promote their own business on Wikipedia. Even their username "Afoxbiz" confirms this. Basically this is/was a recording studio that some guy set up in his house. If no one objects I'm going to go ahead and snow close this as delete since there's zero coverage out there (as this was some guy with a recording set up in his house) other than Wikipedia mirrors and was an over the top, blatantly promotional attempt to provide his business with legitimacy in the early days of Wikipedia. I'll reopen this if anyone can show otherwise, but from what I can see this isn't going to end with anything other than a delete. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:18, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - First off, it is complete bullshit to lock down the gutted version of this article ahead of an AfD. Material deleted may have been unsourced, but it was uncontroversial and not necessarily wrong, and it is utterly impossible to improve the article at AfD in this state. This is absolutely a violation of the spirit of AfD and a classic example of the abuse of administrative tools to settle a content matter. Full protection should immediately be lifted and content restored for the duration of this debate. Carrite ( talk) 17:53, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - For much of the developed world malls are the downtown shopping areas of today. We treat towns with kid gloves but here we are intent upon using a steamroller, largely because of the activities of anti-COI partisans. Well, guess what, this shopping mall passes our general notability guideline for having been dealt with substantially in multiple, independently published sources of presumed reliability. HERE is coverage of an art installation at the mall by the San Diego Cultural Arts Alliance via KPBS. And MORE on that project via Pomerado News. And THIS IS the San Diego Union-Times, reporting extensively and substantially on a mall expansion in 2008, noting that this facility has been in place since the John F. Kennedy administration. And HERE is coverage of Mission Valley Center in the "Mall Hall of Fame." This article cites other works as sources (deadlinks, unfortunately), including www.history.sandiego.edu/ and Mitch Glaser's "Paradox Unbound" via history.sandiego.edu/ and Libby Brydolf's "Mission Valley's Transformation" (1998), via www.sandiegometro.com/ And so on and on and on by anybody willing to follow WP:BEFORE and actually search the internet for sources.

It doesn't count towards GNG, but HERE'S a photo of the mall at opening day in March 1961 — over half a century ago.

COVERAGE of a temporary skating rink and Mission Valley Mall from Mission Valley News. And SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE covering the Mall as a party in a lawsuit over a shooting there which I have not mentioned previously. The number of news stories in the San Diego press between 1958 and launch in 1961 are no doubt substantial. And on and on... I've gotta go to work. Carrite ( talk) 18:35, 12 July 2015 (UTC) reply

This is a neutral and procedural nomination made on behalf of the contributing editor, who has requested on his talk page that this be deleted. He is, however, not the only contributor, so speedy deletion as originator is closed to him. The draft he created was accepted at WP:AFC, and much of the unrerefenced (and much desired by him) facts were stripped out. He now wishes those alleged facts to be reinstated or the article to be deleted.

I will record my own opinion below in due course. I am simply making this nomination on his behalf since he expresses the desire strongly but appears to be unaware of how to proceed

It has been explained to him that it is unlikely to be deleted because the gentleman is notable. Fiddle Faddle 22:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep After studying the plaudits and accolades given to the gentleman there is more that sufficient for keeping this article being a no brainer. He passes the criteria for notability. He is a public figure and well known in his musical genre. We should not delete based on the whim of an editor who wishes to exert WP:OWN over this article. Fiddle Faddle 23:47, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, meets Notability easily as a relatively unique performer who's attracted national-level attention as an African-American country music yodeler. Subject is a public figure, so I don't agree with deleting the article simply because he's not pleased with our removing unsourced/POV content that he wishes to have included.

  • Delete (opining as a proxy for the initial contributing editor) It is abundantly clear everywhere except in this discussion, that the original editor and the subject of this autobiography wishes to delete the material. He has placed this information on user talk pages, though not with a rationale other than not being happy with the content of the current article. I am thus recording this opinion here without copying and pasting the material, and in the interests of completeness. Should that editor post here then this proxy deletion !vote is irrelevant and may be struck by any editor without reference to me and must be disregarded by the closing admin.

Yes, I definitely want the article deleted if you insist on using the butchered result currently posted. I submitted a 3-page piece which MatthewVanitis edited and it looked good. However, his final edit, an approximate 10-word piece is an extreme butchering that in no way gives your readers an insight into my ‘country music’ credentials. Especially when I look at other artists’ Wikipedia coverage, I consider this an insult!

Notability be damned. You have a chance to get it right even in Matthew’s brief passage, yet your arrogant stance of

“So while we of course recognize that in the larger world, accuracy is the goal, on an encyclopedia our concern is how documentable a fact is…”

I believe legitimate encyclopedias are concerned with accuracy, the very reason most people use them.

“So on a certain level, we literally don't care whether a fact in Plantenga's book or in a Washington Post article is completely accurate, we care that it's clearly documented. I find this position arrogant. Especially when informed by the source the documented information is wrong.

“Whereas if you make "corrections" based on your personal knowledge, that just makes the article weaker because each such edit decreases its Verifiability.” Nonsense. My music archives contains hundreds of supporting documents and photographs. Where do you think these ‘writers’ get their information?

MatthewVanitis’ final edit and post: Mike Johnson (born 1946) is an African-American country music singer, songwriter, and yodeler living in Arlington, Virginia. Raised in a Catholic family in Washington, DC, Johnson began yodeling in the 1950s, influenced by the music of Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers, and by the "Tarzan yell" of actor Johnny Weissmuller.[1] Johnson served in the US Navy in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969, and later became a truck driver,[2] first recording his music in 1981 and selling the homemade tapes at a Union 76 gas station in Alabama.[3] Johnson founded Pata del Lobo Music publishing in 1982, and Roughshod Records in 1987.[3]

Bart’s presentation erroneously implies that I started recording homemade tapes at home and releasing them. “…first recording his music in 1981 and selling the homemade tapes at a Union 76 gas station…”

My first release was a 45rpm record resulting from a 5-song recording session in Nashville Tennessee. You don’t do homemade releases in a studio! In 1983 I produced one homemade cassette and it was never sold in any gas station. In 1986 I released a Nashville recorded and produced cassette which was also sold at the Union 76 Truck Stop in Montgomery, Alabama, and about 10 other truck stops around the country. The inclusion of Nashville is a very important distinction when dealing with country artists. I have never been known as the “No.1 Black Yodelin’ Trucker.”

If you can’t go with these minor changes below, delete everything. I’m not that desperate to be on your site. “Mike Johnson (born 1946) is an African-American country music singer, songwriter, yodeler, living in Arlington, Virginia, and most famously known as Country Music’s No.1 Black Yodeler. Raised in a Catholic family in Washington, DC, Johnson began yodeling in the 1950s, influenced by the music of Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers, and by the “Tarzan yell” of actor Johnny Weissmuller. Johnson served in the US Navy in the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969. He went to Nashville in 1981 for his first recording session and released a 45 rpm single. Johnson founded Pata del Lobo Music publishing in 1982 and Roughshod Records in 1987. The label released its 49th and 50th CDs in November 2014.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Black Yodel No.1 ( talkcontribs) 22:10, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Quasi-promotional WP:BLP of a public speaker, resting almost entirely on primary sources. Although there are a couple of reliable sources here, every one of them is covering him specifically in the context of an unsuccessful candidacy for election to his local school board — which isn't a role that would satisfy WP:NPOL even if he'd won the election. Which means that the article isn't making or sourcing a proper claim of notability that would make him a keepable topic, because neither primary sources nor coverage of an unsuccessful campaign for a non-notable office count for anything toward meeting WP:GNG.

Football at the Asian Games is a youth tournament, meaning it is explicitly excluded as a source of notability per WP:NFOOTBALL. His minimal involvement in the games, unsurprisingly, has also not generated sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 23:56, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply
It is the same age limit in football competitions as with the Olympic Games, three overage players are allowed among each squad in the Football at the 2014 Asian Games – Men. It is a not youth tournament as players over 23 actually played in the game and further Football is only part of 2014 Asian Games with over 36 Asian Games sports and a medal winner in the Asian games is notable .

Article about a band which makes no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, strikes a very advertorial rather than encyclopedic tone — and was written by a member of the band (compare creator's username to the name of the guitarist), which makes it a WP:COI violation. Most of the sourcing here, further, is of the bloggy variety, with the few appropriately reliable sources (New York Times, WXPN) being short blurbs that aren't substantive enough to get a band over WP:GNG. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when they accomplish something that satisfies NMUSIC, but right now it's a promotional advertisement rather than a proper encyclopedia article, and thus needs to be deleted.

  • Comment: I'm finding some evidence that there should be coverage somewhere since it was mentioned in this book, but so far I'm leaning towards a redirect to the author.

  • Comment: The articles on this piece aren't just routine mentions - this piece has received quite a bit of coverage. In the Culture24 link Jaar talks about the piece and in Diario de Sevilla the article's writer actually gives their opinion on the work. If they were just offhand mentioning it that'd be one thing, but their commentary turns the article into a review of sorts for the installation. (IE, they say that it was a fairly timely piece, that it would be thought provoking, and that it'd open up debate.) Many of the other news articles do the same thing for the most part. What also pushed this for me is that this was a pretty central piece whenever it was shown, which is something that would be considered a sign of notability for artworks as well.

Articles proposed for deletion:

The topics covered here have no business being on WP. They are directly from a textbook, and we do not give this treatment to other sources. We are not a repository of such knowledge, and it is not encyclopedic to have the sources alone. Such information is already in the public domain editions of the 1918 textbook and doesn't need to be here.

In addition, they've already served their purpose. Many of these articles were created in 2006 when a large amount of content was taken from Gray's Anatomy 20th edition (1918) and put onto Wikipedia, a process that greatly expanded our anatomical content. The relevant pages have already been entered into anatomy articles (and now transwikied to wikidata) and so are now redundant.

In view of what I've said, I'm proposing deletion.

I couldn't verify that this meets notability. Last AfD 6 years ago, with no consensus. Has been tagged for notability for over 7 years. Hopefully, we can now get some resolution. Boleyn ( talk) 19:59, 27 June 2015 (UTC) reply

"(T)agged for notability for over 7 years" isn't exactly accurate. About six and a half years ago it was deleted (replaced with a redirect). Someone undeleted it a couple weeks ago for whatever reason, but didn't do anything to the article. I'm only here because I got an email from Wikipedia about this deletion discussion.
I gave up back then as I couldn't make any sense out of what the Wikipedia folks want; comparing the Con of the North article at the time to similar game convention articles at the time that weren't marked with notability issues and put up for deletion gave no guidance.
My recommendation would be to Keep for now and let a new era of interested editors take a crack at it. It's been six years, after all. Parody ( talk) 05:43, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Thanks for making a clearer statement than I did, Parody. I brought it to AfD because of the revertion, but a redirect to List_of_gaming_conventions#West_North_Central is a reasonable alternative to deletion, in my opinion. In terms of its notability, looking at what WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS often isn't useful, but please look at WP:NOTABILITY. Do you think it meets the guidelines as notable, and if so, are you able to verify it? Best wishes, Boleyn ( talk) 06:41, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Re: Redirecting: It's not in that list as that list specifically requires an article. Without an entry in the list a redirect is inappropriate. (In fact, when someone added the article back to the list after the recent undeletion someone else immediately removed the entry citing "write the article first".)
Re: Notability: I think it's just as notable as other game conventions that have not had their Wikipedia articles deleted. Whether that means notability in this niche needs better consideration or more game convention articles need deletion isn't for me to decide. Verification is difficult in either case, as many conventions don't go searching for press coverage to be proven notable in Wikipedia terms. Parody ( talk) 01:23, 30 June 2015 (UTC) reply

They also have the supporting articles for Heads of government, Prime Minister of Yugoslavia and List of Prime Ministers of Bulgaria. Your argument would require the articles List of heads of state or government of Yugoslavia and List of heads of state or government of Bulgaria.

  • keep. Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen was inducted to the Portuguese National Pantheon in 2014, as one of the most significant writers in Portuguese history. Her books are still best sellers, a reference in public school, adapted for theatre, and so on. Specifically A Fada Oriana is one of the best known of her books. (yet, somehow shamefully, I do not recall reading a single one of them... I guess it got into school curricula more recently years after I was a child myself) I added a few references for these facts. My prose is not the best, and there are better references for sure, but currently they tend to get buried beneath the many news about selling books, school notes, and Sophias' recent induction to the Pantheon- Nabla ( talk)
  • Keep. Meets WP:NBOOK, here are the present references cited in the article, thankyou Nabla:
1. [8] - The Sea Girl and the Oriana Fairy reach the Pantheon, The Observer (Portugal), - Portuguese writers and artists discussing legacy of Andresen including Oriana,
2. [9] - MEC Associates to the homage to Sophia De Mello Breyner Andresen - Portuguese Ministry of Education honoring Anderson and stating the works used in schools - "In basic education, the list of authors and Portuguese texts hosts, for example, The Oriana fairy",
3. [10] - Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen tale today takes the stage at the Port The magical world of Fairy Oriana - Theatrical performance of Oriana, appears to be media release/announcement, not a review.
4. [11] - The Oriana Fairy "this afternoon at the Centro Cultural de Campo Maior - another article announcing theatrical production,
5. [12] - The Fairy Oriana: A Fairy Oriana, Sophia de Mello Breyner Adresen Under the Master in Illustration - a graphic designer's illustrated version of book (book was originally illustrated by Teresa Calem).

I have found the following through google which also contribute to show notability:

[13] - Mexico: Launch translation to Spanish of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen - Press release anouncing launch of Spanish translation of the book at the 32nd International Children's Book Fair of 2012
[14] ORIANA Animation British Columbia as part of the 6th annual Vancouver Women in Film Festival, March 4-6 - film showing announcement, "A whimsical 3D animated fairytale adapted from the iconic Portuguese novel"
[15] Recent Portuguese Publications Bulletin 42 September 2004 Part XVI: Literature, Literary History, Criticism, Essays, Correspondence - Book dealer's catalogue advertising CARDONA, Irene, and Maria Amelia Almeida. The Oriana Fairy Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen: analysis of the work. 4th ed. Lisbon: Text Publishing, 2003. Collection New Readings, dealer's description is "Aimed at 5th year Portuguese elementary school students, we feel this book can be useful for university undergraduates studying Portuguese literature outside of Portugal."
[16] The presence of “marvellous” in Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen’s ‘A fada Oriana’ by Maria do Carmo Mendes, researcher and professor of Comparitive literature at Minho University, Portugal - a paper presented at 2008 International Conference on Children's Literature and Culture
[17] "In the Path of True Teaching of Children's Literature" The "Fairy Oriana" of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen - Master degree dissertation discussing the study of The Fairy Oriana in the 4th grade.
(this link triggered wikiblacklist so editors will just have to trust me (or google it themselves:)) Canon: reminiscences of students and teachers - paper produced by School of Education of Viseu (IPV), Port and Douro Wines Institute discussing Portuguese school literary canon which includes this book.
[18] The magical world of fairy Oriana by Ana Cristina Pereira - review of theatre presentation, slightly advertorial(?)
From the above, it can be seen that this books meets WP:NBOOK ie. 1 and 4. Please note, that as i do not speak/read Portuguese i have had to rely on english-language google and google translate to find these, there are still more but I think this should be enough.

94.210.76.161 ( talk) disagree. This is not an advertisement of promotion of my own methodology. It is a writeup on how IBM does analytical engagements. As such, it is interesting to read for other analytical practitioners. As mentioned in the article, the work of data scientists contains a lot of tacit knowledge. That is, the ways of working are not put in books or readable format. I tried to change that with this write up.

114.108.212.96 ( talk)how can this still be up for deletion if in the discussions there's no objection? I researched many other Wiki pages, to find that many topics on Wiki are in fact write-ups on things that exist, but have not been explained in so much detail before. For example, look at https://transferwise.com/support/customer/en/portal/articles This contains all the articles of Transferwise, but none of those articles discusses the "how it works" section here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransferWise. So, is this reason for deletion? — Preceding undated comment added 04:06, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

@ 114.108.212.96: Citing an article that you believe has issues does not address the substance of the issues with this article: 1) its is non-notable (no other mention of this other than recent posts by the author of the Wikipedia entry), 2) Original Research (no citations where this methodology has been discussed other than those connected with the author, 3) IP issues - it is unclear if this is the intellectual property of IBM and if the author has the authority to publish.

The result was Consensus to delete - Consensus seems to be that this is not an encyclopedic topic. While those seeking to keep did demonstrate that sources exist they did not demonstrate that this had any notability beyond being a fringe theory. Thus the result is deletion without prejudice against recreation if you can address the concerns in this AfD.

If anyone is interested in merging to Southern United States they can request undeletion for the purposes of merging, but I don't see a consensus for that here.

  • It's not a hoax and I'm not letting off steam. This is a legit article about the Southern ethnicity. We are a separate people with our own history, culture, etc and I thought it'd be a good idea to type up a Wikipedia article about us. Now mind you I have a bit of a problem with procrastinating and I am taking the time tonight to really make the article look good. I have sources, etc. I am currently planning it out on a word document. So please, don't delete it.( MelungeonEire ( talk) 03:33, 23 June 2015 (UTC)) reply
  • I ask that you don't delete this. I've put a bit of work on the article and I ask all of you to help me with it. Down South, we consider Southern to be an ethnicity and it has been proven by various historians that we are ethnically and culturally distinct from the rest of the United States.

Sulfurboy ( talk) 01:39, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
I've got the article on my watchlist, but I'd be happy with a merge to Southern United States because it seems to be a pretty niche view that Southerners constitute an ethnic group, and better covered there than in its own article unless more sources can be found. Cordless Larry ( talk) 08:00, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Delete - This article makes me cringe! Southerners in and of themselves are not an "ethnic group" anymore than mid-westerners, northerners, or any other part of the United States. There is nothing WP:NPOV about leading off with "White Southerners" as the criteria. Is the author implying that anyone without white skin cannot be considered a Southerner? We don't need this flawed POV, cited with decades old sourcing, merged. This has one point of view, and it doesn't meet Wikipedia criteria. No way. — Maile ( talk) 21:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I agree, that single opinion does not warrant an article, as WP:GNG requires multiple independent sources, not one (questionable) individual. Especially given that this single author's opinions are over 30 years old, if there were any merit to this article's subject someone would have picked up on it and there would be sources but there seems to be nothing of the sort. - Aoidh ( talk) 06:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply
    • On a purely technical note, it's untrue to say that the article is based on the work of one author alone. Predating Reed is Lewis Killian's work, and some other authors are mentioned. The idea has also received secondary coverage (e.g. from Dillman and M. G. Smith). Dillman notes that "this concept of Southerners as a distinct American ethnic group has been presented for more than a decade, and it continues to gain momentum". Whether we agree with use of the concept or not, it's clearly not just the idea of one author. Cordless Larry ( talk) 15:58, 29 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Whether or not Southerners constitute an ethnic group is clearly open to debate, but this article does at least now attempt to reflect that debate.

  • Comment. The subject's entry in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (which is already rather cryptically cited in the article) verifies the facts currently in the article, and I would tend to regard the fact that the entry exists as a fairly strong indicator of his notability. However, beyond the facts already in the article, the encyclopedia entry only mentions that he is a journalist and travel writer (and is therefore presumably the same person as the co-author of a guide to Italy that turns up on Google searches). And there doesn't appear to be much else online - my guess is that there are further sources from the 1970s that are still offline, but unless we can find them, we have no means of telling whether they would be sufficient (together with the encyclopedia entry) to firmly establish notability. PWilkinson ( talk) 18:55, 4 July 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Please see SF Encyclopedia - Note on Content. They "have attempted to give an individual entry to every writer who has published an (inarguably) sf book in English – or had one translated into English...". Inclusion in E of SF provides zero indication of notability. I agree there might be some coverage from the 70's but until someone finds it 'might' is not a reason for an article per notability requires verification. There needs to be some indication that sources actually exist.

  • Keep, included also in The Science Fiction Source Book (1984). I don't agree with the blanket dismissal of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. If you cite the GNG, which I think is a poor crutch at the best of times, this sort of reference in a reliable source should be admitted. Charles Matthews ( talk) 07:53, 6 July 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Charles Matthews: 'Admitting' it, whatever that means, is not the issue. All the entry says is he wrote four books and his birth date. There is nothing notable in the entry and the mere fact of having an entry is not notable since the inclusion criteria is 'written a science fiction book'. WP:NAUTHOR requires that an author have done something other than simply write a book or even several. Does The Science Fiction Source Book (1984) you mention have any additional information on him? Can you provide the entry so I can use it to improve the article? It would be a great help if you could since it is the only other source I know of. Thank you. Jbh Talk 20:13, 6 July 2015 (UTC) reply
On the second point, the book is visible to me in a Google Books snippet, found by the search "Wilson, Robert Hendrie"; the sort of search that I would think comes under WP:BEFORE#Nominating article(s) for deletion, section D, where it mentions Google Books search. While we are on guidelines, your argument goes to show that you should have nominated this article for speedy deletion, by the way, under section B of the "please be sure to" there.
Actually I take another view. The reason that the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction can "get away" with including obscure authors is that people want to look them up. A reference work such as this one can give somewhat better coverage. I also saw, as below, that Wilson is now a journalist, but he has published a travel book also. An article on him would serve a need. Charles Matthews ( talk) 05:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC) reply
The Google Books version simply shows him as one of 3-4 authors on one page in the index. As near as I can see it is little, if anything, more than than the E of SF entry. 'Wanting to look up' and 'serving a need' are not, in my firm opinion, legitimate reasons for keeping the article unless it can be shown he has passed the minimal guidelines we have for notability which I do not think bare mentions contribute to. Of course others have different opinions on on this so we have AfD. Cheers. Jbh Talk 11:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Indeed, WP:GNG is a sufficient condition for inclusion of a topic, not a necessary one: "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." So I regard its use as an argument for deletion to be tendentious, even fallacious. This is a reference site, so of course whether or not people generally would want to look up a topic here is relevant.
To go back to the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, the article links to one on Robert Hale Limited the publishers. Now we should have an article on the publishers, who had a stable of authors, and what we know about Wilson could usefully appear in such an article. I.e. if that other article existed I'd be happy to merge this one into it. Charles Matthews ( talk) 04:52, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply
You are welcome to your view of the notability guidelines but Wikipedia policy and practice is that if a subject does not meet GNG or a subject specific notability guideline it should be deleted.

I am unaware of any articles which simply list a publisher's stable of authors unless those authors are in and of themselves notable. In particular this would be a way to get any published author a redirect page. That is something beyond the scope of AfD. Jbh Talk 11:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply

"Wikipedia policy"? WP:DEL-REASON mentions GNG only obliquely: under #7, you could say. I would set the bar quite high for "thorough research".
Certainly many people do in practice call for deletion on the basis of GNG, at AfD, and also many people nominate without (as you show) troubling with the steps actually called for by WP:BEFORE. This is a view of guidelines that sees them mainly as a way of winning arguments, rather than what they mainly are intended for, namely to indicate the expectations that Wikipedia has of editors.
There is another source that mentions Wilson, by the way, Souls in Metal: an anthology of robot futures (1977). It is very easy to find on Google Books.
Now that I have done research on the publishers, I see much better what is going on, though. I am striking my "Keep": and WP:AUTHOR probably does apply. Charles Matthews ( talk) 04:43, 9 July 2015 (UTC) reply
