Keep, as the reason for prior deletion no longer applies - this article was previously deleted, as it had insufficient sources, and was therefore deemed 'original research'. This is no longer the case, and while the article is substantially the same as before (because the method itself has not changed!) there are now articles and papers about it including one from 2014 regarding algorithmic complexity. In addition to this, it appears to fit within the project
Elections and Referendums, as noted on its talk page by
Number 57, which is aiming to, among other things, improve coverage of various voting methods.

Keep the new article is currently well sourced (issue raised in past discussions). The lead specifies it is theoretical and the fact that several people other than the inventor have published articles about it points to notability. Furthermore, the deletion discussions date back to 2009 and 2007. Things have changed since then. This is not the kind of repetitive recreation that G4 is meant to deal with.

Comment. I have found a reliably-sourced review on the Guardian & Observer Digital Archive, by Naomi Lewis in the Observer of 22nd July 1962, page 19: "A splendid jacket by Robin Jacques at once invites the eye. Of course, myths have almost always been unfair to giants: still, we could not separate them from nursery lore, especially when, as in several of these tales, they are merely kindly, stupid fellows, easily outwitted (but not slain) by some sharp little dwarf. Though some are from local sources, others are from as far afield as Russian Georgia or Jutland. But are they so different?" Maybe this could be added as a source if the article survives?

were pwned, and there was a consensus on the outcome. I don't see any reason why it would fail notability - if you search for Alexander's Bridge + September 18, 1863 you get enough results to know it was significant.

I post this shorter version of a longer comment I made at another of the AfDs concerning the recently posted series of stub articles on minor Civil War engagements because other readers or commenters, and the person who may close this discussion, may not see the other versions of this comment in relation to the same proposal. A list of Civil War skirmishes, or minor engagements to be more complete, would be long indeed. Long, E. B. The Civil War Day by Day: An Almanac, 1861–1865. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1971.
OCLC68283123, p. 719 states that Dyer, 1908 divides the military actions of the Civil War into 29 campaigns, 76 battles, 310 engagements, 46 combats, 1026 actions, 29 assaults, 6,337 skirmishes, 299 operations, 26 sieges, 64 raids, 727 expeditions, 252 reconnaissances, 434 scouts, 639 affairs, 82 occupations and 79 captures. I have looked carefully at Dyer's book and I could find no explanation of how he came up with these names for the various military events of the Civil War. I think 76 is too few for battles. Many of the actions not shown as skirmishes probably would have to be thrown into a list of skirmishes to be complete. It would be a big list, even if subdivided by states, and a big job. A list of a few of them which have been mentioned in deleted articles or stubs, which also may be proposed for deletion, would be too incomplete to be worth much. In this case, I think that the action at Alexander's Bridge should be include in the Battle of Chickamauga and Chickamauga campaign articles, and possibly even receive separate treatment rather than be relegated to some list of skirmishes or otherwise completely omitted.

Delete. No evidence of historical significance beyond that of
Battle of Chickamauga, so it fails
WP:EVENTCRIT. All the information that is worth keeping in some form is already within that article. This is an example of breaking out articles further than is necessary. A redirect is not necessary because this is not a plausible search term. ~ RobTalk 04:13, 20 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Delete. This is a close call but this small battle is already covered in summary in the
Battle of Chickamauga article and can, and almost certainly should be, included not only in that article but in the
Chickamauga Campaign article. While this might seem to indicate a "merge" would be the proper course, there is nothing new in this article to merge except the Confederate casualty number of 105, so a merge in effect would be a delete.
If we look only at the facts in light of the general notability guidelines, because I can find nothing that gives any guidance on how to evaluate this specific type of military event, we would have to conclude that this was a notable event. It receives significant coverage from reliable sources. Powell, David A. Failure in the Saddle: Nathan Bedford Forrest, Joe Wheeler, and the Confederate Cavalry in the Chickamauga Campaign. New York: Savas Beatie, LLC, 2010.
ISBN978-1-932714-87-6 has a ten-page chapter on Alexander's Bridge and some earlier remarks. White, William Lee. Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale: The Battle of Chickamauga, September 18-20, 1863. El Dorado Hills, CA: Savas Beattie LLC, 2013.
ISBN978-1-61121-158-0 has a chapter "Alexander's Bridge." The important campaign study, Cozzens, Peter. This Terrible Sound: The Battle of Chickamauga. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1992.
ISBN978-0-252-01703-2, has three solid pages and other text on Alexander's Bridge. Other sources cover it, if more briefly, including Alexander Mendoza, Chickamauga 1863: Rebel Breakthrough, Santa Barbara, CA: Praeger, 2013 and Steven E. Woodworth Six Armies in Tennessee: The Chickamauga and Chattanooga Campaigns, Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1998.
A small Union force of just under 1,000 men held off the leading brigade of a Confederate division which was attempting to cross the Chickamauga Creek on September 18, 1863. Confederate General Braxton Bragg had ordered his corps commanders to cross the creek at four locations to split and defeat in detail the separated Union Army corps. Union Colonel John T. Wilder's "Lightning Brigade", who through private efforts were armed with 7-shot Spencer repeating rifles, defended a previous gap in the Union forward defenses at Alexander's Bridge along Chickamauga Creek. Along with the defenses at Reed's Bridge, Jay's Mill and one or two other locations, the Confederates were delayed in crossing the creek in force almost all day. The Union Army had time to consolidate for the main battle of Chickamauga which started the next day.
So why not have a separate article on this apparently important engagement as well as the other skirmishes or minor battles on September 18? I think they are integral parts of the Battle of Chickamauga, certainly of the 9-day Chickamauga campaign, and can be handled in those article. Reed's Bridge and Alexander's Bridge are already handled by paragraphs in the battle article, which as an opening engagements on September 18 section. I think these paragraphs probably should be expanded by a few sentences or another paragraph or so. I think some mention should be made in the campaign article of these and any other notable actions during the campaign that are not the subject of separate articles but appear to be of significance to the overall campaign and final large battle. If Bragg had been able to get his uncooperative subordinates to move faster, and Union advance units had not delayed them when they moved, the Union Army may have been caught in at least three separate locations in turn by the entire Confederate force. As to the importance of the action at Alexander's Bridge, Powell says at page 120: "In short, Wilder's stout defense cost the Confederates the entire afternoon...."
The September 18 actions have been treated in the books as implicitly or directly as part of the Battle of Chickamauga. They deserve coverage and maybe even redirects. Whether to include such actions as part of a larger battle or a campaign or in separate articles has no clear guidance that I know about, but I think that separate articles are the exception for actions immediately preceding a main battle. I would certainly argue in favor of keeping articles on preliminary actions like those that occurred on September 18, 1863, if they had occurred some days earlier and were not included in the larger articles or took too much space to adequately explain, but I think that is not a necessary outcome here. The only other alternative may be whether Alexander's Bridge and the other actions were large enough and there are enough available facts about them to justify a briefer mention in the battle and campaign articles, as they have in the battle article, but also a separate "main article" for these separate preliminary engagements. I think it is a close call here but I think it is proper to include the September 18 battles (and maybe some September 17 skirmishes) as part of the other Chickamauga articles without having a separate, and no doubt larger, article for each one. I say each one because although Alexander's Bridge may be the most significant, the others receive coverage as well.
I am not sure whether Alexander's Bridge is a plausible search term but I think in view of the coverage in several books, at least a few readers might look for the action under a separate name, but possibly not "Skirmish at Alexander's Bridge.
The 105 casualties were Confederate casualties. Powell, page 117. Cozzens, page 113. Dyer includes Union casualties in a total for the battle. I have not seen a Union casualty figure only for the action at Alexander's Bridge in other sources but it is clear from the narrative that the Union force did not eventually retire unscathed, after some Confederates waded the stream out of range and outflanked them. Maybe a figure could be found but an implication of lower casualties, as the sources appear to imply, may suffice.

Vol. 5, p. 24 lists a skirmish on July 12, 1862 (not August 23, 1862) at Alderson's Ferry in which two companies of Crook's cavalry killed or wounded 7 Confederates and captured 12 horses. Dyer, 1908, p. 972, lists no Union casualties at a skirmish at Alderson's Ferry on July 23, 1862 (neither July 12 or August 23). No 1862 action at Alderson's Ferry is mentioned in Cohen, Stan.

http://www.civilwartraveler.com/EAST/WV/MoreWV.html#Princeton mentions a "bloody" July 12, 1862 action and states that both sides used the ferry to cross the Greenbrier River and occasional fighting took place here. The July 1862 action appears to be connected to no particular campaign because of lack of significant actions in the area in that time period as shown by Dyer. Alderson's Ferry is too far south and west to have been a location in the Second Manassas Campaign and July 12, especially, would be too early a date. This can be confirmed in Hennessy, John J. Return to Bull Run: The Campaign and Battle of Second Manassas. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1993. ISBN 978-0-8061-318. The date apparently would have to be corrected to July 12 or July 23 - not sure which would is right since there is one source for each and no listing for any date for a skirmish at Alderson's Ferry is shown in Long, E. B. The Civil War Day by Day: An Almanac, 1861–1865. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1971.
OCLC68283123. Despite the fact that one source shows some casualties for a skirmish at Alderson's Ferry in July 1862, few other details can be found about the skirmish. It appears to have been a rather small, isolated skirmish connected with no campaign and of no apparent strategic or other significance with few details and no memorable occurrence to be found in the most obvious available sources.

Simply counting sources does not address notability. In all sources that I've seen (and I did look quite a bit before commenting), this skirmish has a superficial mention and has no significant coverage. A small skirmish with no effect on the war for either side is not worthy of inclusion. ~ RobTalk 22:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)reply
I see. that being so, Why is this at AFD? Why can't the military history Civil War editors get together have a place and hash out what's a battle and what is a subhead or alternate name for a battle?
E.M.Gregory (

In a big conflict like the Civil War,
company-sized engagements generally don't mean much or get called battles. In a smaller one like the
Vietnam War, something like the (still larger battalion vs. regiment)
Battle of Ong Thanh has more relative significance and coverage. A search on "smallest Civil War battle" brings up the
Battle of Dranesville, which involved 9000 soldiers, so this skirmish is not even in the ballpark.

Keep. Close call. This "battle" took place near Monticello, Kentucky. With that information, a little more can be discovered about it. Union Captain Wendell D. Wiltsie was sent on a patrol with 100 men from three different regiments in an effort to find the notorious Confederate guerrilla, Champ Ferguson, who was executed for murder (war crimes essentially) after the war. Instead, Wiltsie ran into an advance party of 300 of John Hunt Morgan's men who were preparing to launch Morgan's raid through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio according to McKnight, Brian D. Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia. The Cyclopedia says the Confederate force was "said to be" Morgan's men. Morgan's orders and the beginning of his raid were about a month later so I suppose that these men might have been from another command but it seems Ferguson did not have that many men in his guerrilla force and it is plausible that Morgan had men in Kentucky earlier. There is enough information in the Cyclopedia entry and McKnight's book to write two or three paragraphs about this. Ferguson and Morgan are both notable. The affair is typical of the unpredictable raids, including guerrilla raids, that garrisons in Kentucky and Tennessee, had to cope with. Some stiff fighting and counterattacks ensued, as well as the Union force burning the still because they thought it was a hiding place for bushwackers. According to the Cyclopedia, Wiltsie's unit suffered 12 casualties and reinforcements sent to help him suffered 3 more. (I don't like using skirmish in the title simply because I think the reader may be looking for "battles". The various titles for battles, engagements, skirmishes, actions and the like in the Civil War seem to have been made up by Dyer in 1908 and I can't find that he ever explained how he came up with the distinctions.) I think this is a close call but since we have a little more information about this and there are some indicators of notability, or at least the potential involvement of the forces of notable commanders, I would keep and expand the article. I don't think this is true of some of the other stubs that have been thrown up recently, which I just discovered. I have commented on two others so far and I will look at the others over the next few days if they are not closed before then.

I really don't like the idea of keeping something that didn't have much of an effect in the military sense simply because some well-known commanders were involved. That would open the floodgates. We'd have to include the action (also in the Cyclopedia) of March 2, 1863, at Aldie, Virginia, because Mosby himself personally led 70 of his men against 50 Union troops. Again, no real significance overall. As a side note, the National Park Service does classify this in passing as "Skirmish Alcorn's Distillery".

By way of comment and not argument: Not losing sight of the fact that we are considering general notability guidelines, I think we don't need to be overly restrictive about articles concerning historical events if they have some coverage in reliable sources, enough detail for a small article and some fact or detail of interest. I did note that this was a close call; I just happened to fall on the other side for the reasons I gave. There are only a limited number of these small engagements in which enough detail to write an article can be found and something of interest or note can be said about them - and which cannot be included in another article as part of a campaign, the lead up to or aftermath of a big battle or in connection with a biography of a commander. (The number of Civil War engagements are somewhat more than 10,000 but available facts, and notability, would support nowhere near that number of potential articles.) The limited number of stand-alone articles that might be created and the facts that Wikipedia does not face space limitations and undoubtedly has hundreds of thousands of articles about minor celebrities, short-run TV shows, entertainment events, you tubers, garage bands and every athlete that ever put on a uniform in a major professional league uniform diminishes the floodgates argument quite a bit for me - and I guess I am writing this in response to that word. I suppose this is getting us off track and is not worth debating, especially here, and also especially because I think our views on these matters - and perhaps more importantly on each article on a case by case basis - appear actually to be quite similar and are likely to mostly coincide as they do on the two other AfDs in this series of Civil War action stubs on which we have both commented so far.

Thanks for your comment. I have glanced at a few of those other articles and suspect we will agree on most of them and that most commenters will as well. If any turn out to be keepers in my opinion, they are likely to be close calls. I noticed that the nomination for
Action at Abraham's Creek was denied speedy deletion. Since I hope to do a reasonably thorough research job on each, I incorporated my research into the article. If it is nominated at AfD, it can be evaluated on the basis that it is about the most that can be done with the article (although there are perhaps two or three other books I might glance at).
Donner60 (

@
Donner60: It seems the primary argument here is that this battle is notable because one of its commanders is notable/interesting. Is that an accurate summarization of your position, and if so, how do you reconcile that with notability not being inherited? This is for clarification, not argument; I want to make sure I understand your position. ~ RobTalk 12:54, 24 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Not entirely. Although first I would say that I think that inherited notability would not apply to a historical event because the very participation of notable persons adds to the notability of the event because they help make the event due to their participation or involvement. I might be wrong but I think that concept mostly or entirely applies to people. So by way of made up example, Elvis's son who did nothing but work at an anonymous job and mind his own business does not become notable because of the identity of his father. Presumably because of this, the son would not have independent coverage by reliable sources of anything he might have done of any note except for his being the son. Here we have some coverage in sources about an event in which there was some fighting and casualties and appear to have informed the Union garrison of the presence of a large force of Morgan's cavalry in the area. While Morgan himself apparently was not present, his men were almost certainly there by his command and apparently with a purpose that resulted in a notable raid. The facts that this was an unsuccessful attempt to find the notorious Ferguson, but the patrol found what seems to have been a large advance party of Morgan's men a short time before the start of their famous raid, and fought off this larger group successfully, makes this event more notable than an ordinary minor battle, in my opinion. It also seems to be a good example, because of the additional facts that we have, of what garrisons in border states or occupied areas had to cope with from guerrillas and raiders.

Comment - This fascination with the Civil War is amazing. Never have I seen so much well researched debate over a stub AfD (and the creator of this one left a trail of other stub skirmishes). Last April The Economist wrote
this article about the US Civil War, stating "many Americans remain fascinated by the conflict. In 2002 the Library of Congress estimated that 70,000 books had been published about it, more than one a day since the war ended." Cheers.
Magnolia677 (

Comment A major problem with this type of trail of stub articles, regardless of the general topic, is summarized in the brief essay
Wikipedia:Kittens. I will let that speak for itself but I do note that these types of articles present problems for reviewers and those interested in the general subject. The stubs may all appear to be on subjects without much notability or of any value as they stand, but the subject of a few of them may be notable and others might have some facts that could be included in other articles. Almost no guidance can be had from the articles. Reviewers must try to find out whether anything notable and significant can be found on the topic and decide what recommendations or actions to take (keep, merge, decline). My guess is that many people are not going to want to spend significant time finding information or cleaning up stubs that do not already have a few facts showing notability or interest and do not cite any of the references that might be found to support an article. And while some of the support may exist, it may not all be online. (I am fortunate to have quite a few books on military history, many on the American Civil War, and have access to Questia and JSTOR through Wikipedia.) I decided to omit an even longer discussion of this that I had drafted since I am probably approaching posting too much here already, even though this is related to evaluation of the series of stubs of which the subject article is one.

Our article on the parent organization doesn't talk about the Kenyan Section currently, but there are enough sources to justify a mention there and redirect.

Article about a defunct
community television channel in England, resting entirely on a single
primary source and written in a surprisingly advertorial tone for something that's defunct. This would quite likely be eligible for a properly written and

This is not a topic. Whatever things might be said to be leading to the djent genre might be called proto-djent but they are not a separate genre. Instead they would simply be the background to djent, a paragraph of introductory material in the djent article.

Even
djent itself has been described as a

In any case, there's nothing in the literature about proto-djent being its own genre. Rather, the literature may use the term proto-djent to describe those things that influenced the formation of djent, that led up to djent.

Suggestion: if it is felt that having been caricatured in Vanity Fair does not indicate notability, how about merging the non-notable articles with the lists of caricatures themselves? In Anstruther-Thomson's case it would be something like this (though formatted more neatly):
ColonelJohn Anstruther-Thomson of Charleton and Carntyne
VDDLJP (8 August 1818 – 8 October 1904) was the son of
John Anstruther-Thomson of Charleton and Clementina Blair. He died at age 86. He would have inherited the title of the 18th
Lord St. Clair on 10 April 1833, but for the
attainder.
In 1860 the
Fifeshire Mounted Rifle Volunteers were re-raised and the then Captain Anstruther Thomson joined on leaving the Regular Army.
In 1866 [1] he took over command from the late
Earl of Rosslyn of the same Regiment his father had commanded some half a century before. After his command he gained the rank of Honorary Colonel of the Fife and Forfar Imperial Yeomanry.

The result was merge to
Cuisine of the Midwestern United States. Consensus is fairly clear that the article should is not suitable and should be merged, but as an aside, however, the current article does not even claim that this is a significant feature of midwestern cuisine, it claims that it's a thing in "small rural German-American communities". This is pretty specific and if we can find a place to mention this in the target article it should be given due weight (i.e. very little coverage). I would also suggest that the topic could be given more in-depth coverage in a more suitable article such as
German American#Culture perhaps. This page should be redirected to any article that ends up covering the topic more than the current target can.

That some type of food is the subject of the event can not equate it to a dish or a type of cuisine. It is also not clear where this should be added at the cuisine article.

Thank you
Shawn in Montreal and
Flowers4mums for your time. Articles created by me till todate have diversity in subjects like Motherly wisdom, living and dead personalities, good parenting, how to raise high performing children, young girls choosing their careers, human smuggling, emotions of transgender people, Army, Navy, Air Force, prostitution, music concert film and Importance of Maritime sector and so on... there is no promotion of any individual or company in my articles.
As part of wiki family, I respect all family members and their POV. Reference to my recent articles about Pakistan Army, Navy and Air Force, (
Sons of the Soil,
Power of the Sea, and
Flying Tigers) as they are entirely different in nature, departments and operations and what I understand is, this is the reason why Avtek Media Group made separate documentaries and I have created separate articles as there is a need to justify with the subjects.
The Making show was made and named
Har Dam Tayyar for TV promotions to explain audience the topics and importance of these documentaries. This is what article
Har Dam Tayyar is saying. I recommend these articles should remain separate and all will have their separate notability. Trust me. Kind regardsTalentforfilm (

Many (or all?) of those "diversity in subjects" are simply topics addressed in largely non-notable Kamran Qureshi shows that you've created articles for.
User:Flowers4mums is a single purpose account that had popped up at Afd to support you, using the same terrible English grammar as you, and I think you and the whole affair is fishy, though I'm not sure what will be done about it. Maybe nothing.

No, wait, the guideline does provide some parameters: "the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone...a national television program may not be notable if it was cancelled too quickly to have garnered any significant media coverage."

Very very weak keep I went through most of the refs. At least a half dozen have no mention of her (#s 1-3, 6, 10, 14). Another group are mentions in announcements of events, playlists, or blogs (#s 6, 9, 12, 14-16). I have no idea if these are RS (#s 4,-5, 13). The ones listed as #21 & 22 indicate that she was given an award at a music festival in Berlin (CTM festival). I don't know how significant this is, but the festival is ongoing so it might be notable. As an underground artist, the only sources are going to be underground sources, so determining notability is very difficult. For sure, though, the article should be edited to remove obviously non-RS sources.

Thanks for the input. There are more references to Sol Rezza, mostly in Spanish language, Should I attach them to the current edition?. I do not want to overdo the amount of references in the article and already it has more than fifty references. I insist she is an artist mainly known in Latin America. in English there are not many references (she is a strong emerging artist in the English language scene) and that is why I am creating this page on wikipedia. I work doing workshops on women's work in sound and unfortunately there are very few references of these kind of works and artists on the Internet, mainly women working with sound in Latin America although they are recognized and well known in their countries and abroad. Thank you for your time and all your kind advice.
Panz4 Troupé (
talk) 04:26, 21 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Panz4 Troupe - weak references can (and perhaps should) be removed so that the strong references are more visible. The references that do not mention her (if they are still in the article) should be removed. The references that are mere listings of performances can be removed if they are not essential to support a statement in the article. Where there are multiple reference for the same statement, it may be possible to reduce the number by selecting the "best" one. References in languages other than English are fine, so if there are stronger references in Spanish you can use them -- especially if they replace weaker references in English. Note that references to performances or works of hers do not support notability in the way that references ABOUT her do. So you should not overload the article with references to her performances, although some of those can go into the external links. The article is definitely improved! Good work! I've changed my !vote to "keep".

Doris Lessing "seems notable"? Only one Nobel Prize in Lierature; I guess she's no better than marginal. We all know that the literary work of Nobelists garners little or no critical attention, as the eighty-odd pages of Google Scholar citations for this title so resoundingly demonstrates. Where is Qworty when you need him to purge Wikipedia of such unworthy doggerel?
You know, there is more reliably source-quality critical commentary out there on Martha Quest than there is on
Jonny Quest,
Seaquest DSV, and
King's Quest combined, by a very wide and very healthy margin. The abysmal stupidity represented by proposal like this can only bring shame to Wikipedia. Deserved shame, it seems, given the lack of well-informed responses to it.

The article definitely needs a major rewrite and some actual
reliable sourcing, but the claim of notability — member of a state legislature — is definitely there under
WP:NPOL. However, it's important to be aware that there have been articles created which claimed that the topic served in a state or provincial or federal legislature, which actually turned out to be outright
WP:HOAXes when somebody went looking for improved sources. So we don't keep such an article based on the claim that they served in a legislature — we keep it based on the sourcing that can be provided to verify the claim that they served in a legislature. So keep if a source can be located — our sources don't have to be in English, so if a Hindi speaker can help out then by all means go for it — but move to draftspace to allow time for further research if it can't.

Oh God I read all of it. Ladies and gents, we are here to ascertain the subject's notability. I can understand someone writing a stub on someone marginally notable. However, I cannot imagine anyone writing a long in-depth piece unless (1) the person is really very notable or (2) they are so stuck up their own backsides that they think themselves important to be in an encyclopedia and that they are the only suitable author. Given the claims made about the subject are transparently hollow, I assume it is the latter. I really hope China isn't following India in terms of producing people who will pen their autobiography, using flowery hagriographic prose that would get them thrown out of a introductory creative writing class for being nearly unreadable.

delete I can't believe you read it all! Bravo! It is very hard to figure out if this person meets
WP:ACADEMICS due to the problems in the article, but I'm not seeing evidence of academic notability. It's a shame to remove this article based on all of the work that went into it. However, it has a serious number of problems. First, it uses WP in references, which is not appropriate. All other references are to the subject's own articles. Then, it goes way beyond the topic at hand with information about the person's interest in music, etc., which don't apply to notability as a scientist. I don't see any third-party references, but if we're looking at this with academic notability in mind that is not the key problem. However, I don't see anything here that would lead to notability as an academic, either. Also, note that the creator of the article is JKGAO. sighLaMona (

Keep. Unquestionably notable, since she has works in the permanent collection of major museums, which is the basic criterion for creative artists. The NYT review of her book confirms it, and it and the other reviews are independent sources. . The article very obviously needs considerable improvement, primarily by cutting--articles written as promotionally as this trend to attract unfavorable attention,especially if the main WP-relevant notability is not clearly stated in the beginning. To improve the article, I will remove some of the obvious minor material so it focusses on the notability. (If she were less notable I would have considered G11,but for someone clearly important I prefer to rewrite; if the rewriting arouses opposition, then G11 is in order because it cannot be fixed by normal editing. For borderline importance & borderline promotionalism combined, I go here.) DGG (

Source 1 - Can't see anything in the regulations regaridng full professionalism,nothing in section four of the regulations makes any comment about a minimum salary for example.
Source 2 - Makes no mention of professioanlism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 3 - This is jusy the national associations FIFA page. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 4 - The presence of foreign coaches does not indicate full professionalism and there is no reason why it should. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 5 - Mentions professionalism, and no one here on in earlier conversations is doubting there is at least a degree of professionalism, but nothing to support fullprofessionalism. Comments such as After plenty of discussion, the BFF stuck to its previous plans of keeping the BPL a ten team affair – rejecting discussion over the last few days to increase the number to 14. The decision was based largely on the assessment that 14 teams would not be able to maintain the basic standard, due to a scarcity of quality players suggest the league is not fully pro as a league which was would be more likely to attract players of sufficient quality.
Sourcre 6 - A
routine match report. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 7 - Unclear how a $70000 sponsorship deal is meant to confirm full professionalism for the league. Almost every countries' top league will have some level of sponsorship and some cash prize available which makes them professional to a degree. This does not mean they are fully professional.
Source 8 - This is just the league's page on FIFA's website. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. All leagues, regardless of their level of professionalism have these pages.
Source 9 - Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. There is no "full professionalism" requirement of the AFC Cup.
Source 10 - Makes no mention of professioanlism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. Promotion and relegation exists at all levels of football, amateur or professional.
Source 11 - Mentions payment of sponsorship money to clubs, but makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. Unclear how such a small payment could support the whole of a playing squad (excluding non-playing staff).

Can you explain the nature of the sites you have cited and how they meet RS? What biograophical data do they offer about the subject? Super.CZ has no byline and SIP looks really brief and again byline not clear. I'd be reluctant to accept without more detail of the nature of the site and how they meet RS.
SpartazHumbug! 22:47, 31 July 2015 (UTC)reply
They are Czech porn-industry related magazines and newspapers who clearly think Angel Wicky is news, whatever that means. I doubt these publications rise to the level of The Guardian or the New York Times in terms of sourcing, editorial review and such, but at the same time, it seems fairly clear to me that in the Czech porn world, AW is a big deal, although my personal sense is that I would prefer this kind of stuff not be in Wikipedia, as I said, but that is my view, and I'm just trying to go by the
WP:GNG.--

SpartazHumbug! 08:34, 1 August 2015 (UTC)reply
SIP is a Czech entertainment-lifestyle magazine, translated
here, which almost certainly does not have the journalistic standards of The Guardian or the New York Times but it does what it does -- covers celebrity news, lifestyle information, sex and relationships. It has high production values (colorful images, links) and is current-oriented, meaning it probably has a wide circulation among Czech-speaking people, that is, if it printed untruths or made up stories, it would lose readers. It has a
newsroom and an editor in chief named Michal Broz. What I am saying is that Angel Wicky gets sufficient exposure in this magazine, with wide circulation, with editors and reporters and writers and advertisers, that it qualifies (in my view) as a
reliable source although I realize that it is unfamiliar to most of us living in the western world.--
Tomwsulcer (
talk) 10:53, 1 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Yes something along those lines. Here's a translated home page of another magazine called topky which, like you say, appears similar to Hello magazine -- it is that type of magazine, as you rightly point out. So if people consider magazines like Hello to be substandard for Wikipedia, then they'll probably vote Delete, or if they allow it, then a case could be made for Keep. Views on this can vary. For me, in the pop culture cruft world of entertainment and celebrities and gossip and crap, this is standard fare, sourcing wise, probably okay for crufty subjects like a porn star, but definitely not suitable for a subject like the health effects of breast implants.--
Tomwsulcer (

The rampant puffery in this article is precisely why I would not personally accept a publication like this as a RS. Titillation is clearly more important that accuracy and a BLP deserves better.
SpartazHumbug! 09:21, 2 August 2015 (UTC)reply

Delete fails
WP:PORNBIO which was the original reason (under the earlier wording of the guideline) that this article was created, and kept at the time. I would accept the sources found by Tomwsulcer as collateral for somebody with a very slim pass of any other guideline, but on their own these sources can not establish notability under
WP:GNG. Tabloid magazines are not independent enough from porn stars and Playboy playmates. It would indeed require multiple stories in the Czech Republics largest mainstream metro newspapers (comparable to the New York Times or the Guardian as pointed out above), or something from the big TV stations, to clear GNG, not necessarily for their reliability (if I see bare breasts, I believe that they are there) but for the breadth of their audience and their choice of what they publish. Show me some in-depth story in, let's say
Právo, and I'll have a look.

Rubber Road and their spin-off
Trade In Detectives are inserted into mainspace, since besides those two legal entities, they have at least three or four more corporations, further noting that they sometimes use shorter nicknames and sometimes use their full legal names.
[54] Cannot remain a dedicated article in my opinion, despite technically passing
WP:GNG; topic fails to
truly demonstrate
WP:N, because
sources are all from the narrow Aug'13-Dec'13 range, and are all English-language videogame-related-press (which makes sense since site only offers comparison-shop for UK retailers and only for videgame-related-items). That constitutes a single burst of regional coverage per

WP:PERSISTENCE notability-guideline. No new WP:RS to be found, in the additional 19 months since Aug'13-Dec'13 that the business has been around; narrow-scope and narrow-timeframe coverage only lasted the first four months after official-biz-launch. Still qualifies as

Keep no way that
Media Forest could be referred to as "cruft", their charts actually are the official record charts in Romania and an artist who, as noted in the article, ranked several times in their charts including a second place in 2011 certainly passes several criteria of MUSICBIO.
Cavarrone 05:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Even accepting, for argument's sake, that Media Forest is a reliable source, that really doesn't do much for this individual. For starters, she never rose above 43rd place in their rankings, as far as I can tell. But that's a relatively minor point; the more salient one has to do with the fact that no guideline suggests one's mere presence in a chart proves notability. Sure, it can contribute to a claim of notability, but this is after all an encyclopedia, not a directory of every musician who has ever charted, regardless of
WP:BASIC ("significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject"). Even
WP:MUSBIO a) notes that people filling at least one of the criteria "may be notable" (i.e., are not automatically notable) and b) reiterates WP:BASIC as the very first criterion ("multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself"). If no outside source has bothered to grant a musician even the semblance of significant coverage, there is no reason we should be doing so.
Meanwhile, I've stripped out the unsourced or poorly sourced material. If that's all there can be said about the subject, again, it's not something worth keeping around. -
BiruitorulTalk 17:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)reply
While you are certainly allowed to not consider MUSICBIO a valid guideline, as long as MUSICBIO was not deprecated you have to accept that editors commonly use to consider notable musicians who charted, and especially musicians who ranked second in a national chart. And this should be even more clear as you recently started a number of similar AfDs using the same rationale (artists who charted in the Romanian Top-10 or so but whose current coverage is poor) and they ended with keep outcomes (
[55],
[56],
[57],
[58],
[59]). At some point, your keeping to nominate for deletion successful artists who ranked in the Romanian top 10 could be considered disruptive and
pointy. Also, your bold "cleanup"
[60] in the middle of a deletion discussion seems to me very inopportune (to be fair), especially as you removed the second place of her song I noted in my rationale
[61] as well as other decently sourced stuff you may consider "cruft" but others maybe not.
Cavarrone 22:38, 1 August 2015 (UTC)reply
I prefer to deal in facts, not speculation. To wit:
I have absolutely nothing against
WP:MUSBIO; I think it's a very useful tool for gauging musicians' notability. It's just that I also pay attention to
WP:GNG,
WP:BASIC, and the very first point of WP:MUSBIO, all of which explicitly call for "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". Nothing in WP:MUSBIO invalidates that call, and rightly so: without significant external coverage of individuals, there really is no reason for us to be providing standalone articles on them.
Yes, I performed a
bold cleanup because, frankly, I would rather not have us be indefinitely clogged with yet more uncited dreck. If you think I went too far in places, please, go ahead and edit the article–while keeping in mind
WP:V,
WP:RS,
WP:SPS,
WP:BURDEN and all other relevant policies.
In sum: no reliable source has bothered to cover this individual in any depth, a couple of raw listings have her charting in the 40s and the 90s, and one utterly discreditable site claims she made second place for a day. Really, if that's the level of coverage that exists (and it does seem to be the case), the argument for deletion remains solid. -
BiruitorulTalk 00:39, 2 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Are you claiming Agenția de Presă Mondenă has fabricated the news? ...including the screenshot from the Media Forest website which documents the second place? Sorry, I don't buy such a conspiracy theory and I am restoring this material. About the rest, your long explanation is just confirming my "speculation": you are nominating Romanian dance artists who clearly meet several points of MUSICBIO (which is not a tool, it actually is an established notability guideline as well as GNG and the others) with the rationale they fail GNG. Your claim you have nothing against MUSICBIO is contradicted by the current AfD and by a number of failed AfDs you recently started. While I respect your views but if you disagree about MUSICBIO criteria being notability criteria, you should discuss your concerns in the MUSICBIO talk page instead of starting AfDs about top10 artists. For sure, you should not blame and badger editors who vote to keep the page "per MUSICBIO" as long as MUSICBIO is met and it is still a valid notability guideline.
Cavarrone 07:17, 2 August 2015 (UTC)reply
You're putting words into my mouth and poisoning the well at the same time. No, I don't claim the "news" (if you can call it that) is fabricated, but that it's from an unquotable source. There are many sources we don't quote, even if they relay accurate information; see
Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard for the lengthy discussions that go on about this. A gossip aggregator plainly seems to fall into the category of the unquotable. -

Dahn (
talk) 04:41, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
To expand: the crux of the contrived keep argument is that Ellie White satisfied MUSICBIO because she came second in the "Media Forest Chart", as per MUSICBIO's definition that subjects may be notable if they get "a single or album on any country's national music chart."
Media Forest, mind you, is no such chart: it is not a record of sales, it is a private-run, paid-for, and self-sourced ranking of airplay on a number of radio stations (from its own description, as pasted into the article: "The company provides a service in which artists and musicians Purchase a subscription that provides them real time information on broadcast channels, which have an Internet broadcast interface"). That it is to say: Media Forest is, itself, cruft; its entry on wikipedia is shameless advertising. One wonders if they and their employees are not being paid to enhance the exposure of aspiring artists on wikipedia as well.
Dahn (
talk) 04:50, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Update: I want to emphatically address Cavarrone's misinformation above: Media Forest is not, and never was, anything closely resembling "the official charts in Romania". For the official (and defunct) charts, look no further than
Romanian Top 100. The claim that Media Forest is in any way the current national chart is sourced exclusively to that article, and the source (Media Forest's own page...) doesn't even verify that claim. Who added it to the text, btw? Possibly the same IP who gave us
this cruft as well.
Dahn (
talk) 05:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Replying to the emphatic fuss above: most of the chart companies are generally private-run and paid-for (while I have no idea about what you actually intend for "self-sourced"), they are not public institutions and generally earn from their researches. Nothing in your extended analysis suggests Media Forest datas are unreliable or that Media Forest is not "a country's national music chart", it is recognized as reliable by
WP:CHART and is marked as the only "
recommended chart" for Romania. The point they offer an extended service for pay (real time airplay monitoring) does not mean in any way, shape, or form they are unreliable nor it is something so rare (eg. the leading company in this field AFAIN,
Nielsen, offers the same and additional services for their subscribers
[62][63]).
Cavarrone 06:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Then you should have no problem finding as an independent reliable source that even so much as suggests Media Forest is in anyway "the official chart". For now, your claim is self-sources, and, as a Romanian speaker, I could find absolutely no source stating this claim -- not even Media Forest seems to spell it out anywhere. But do prove me wrong.
Dahn (
talk) 09:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
It's probably telling that you still don't know by this stage what "self-sourced" means -- it means that wikipedia doesn't trust a commercial source to describe itself accurately. Carlsberg is probably not the best beer in the world just because Carlsberg says it is; Media Forest is probably not the relevant national chart just because it itself hints at that.
Dahn (
talk) 09:17, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
I largely agree with that, but sadly I have to repeat myself again as apparently you didn't take my point and I suspect you are giving a different meaning to the word "official" against me. Quoting myself above, Media Forest is "a country's national music chart" as prescribed by MUSICBIO, recognized as reliable by
WP:CHART and marked as the only "
recommended chart" for Romania (nor there are other Romanian charts listed as
acceptable charts), and in this sense it is "the official chart" and the only chart WE currently apply and use for Romania, ie WE designed it as the official source for our scope and our purposes, period. That's what interests me, not some futile discussions about being "the best beer of the world". Generally speaking, I would take with a pinch of salt any claim about any chart being "the official chart" for a country (not even Billboard or Nielsen charts are THE OFFICIAL charts in this sense, let alone Romanian Top 100), and if you read my vote-rationale such as "Romania officially designed Media Forest as their official chart record company" sorry, but it was not what I intended to say.
Cavarrone 11:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Who added it there, based on what rationale, and why out of all available charts? As for the rule, it says that we should go with a national chart -- all other criteria not being met, as they are not in met in this case. But that is not the national chart, is it?
Dahn (
talk) 13:16, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
First question, to make the long story short, its inclusion depends from the methodology used to compile the charts, MF's methodology (you can find described in their website) is considered serious, others you will find in
WP:BADCHARTS not. Second point, yes, the Romanian branch of MF (www.mediaforest.ro) provides several specific national charts, ranging from daily to annual basis (otherwise it would not even be the recommended chart for this country).
Cavarrone 15:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Its inclusions depends on
the whim of the user who added it. Was its inclusion even discussed, and assessed against other national charts? who determined its reliability and reputation when they chose it as the automatic successor for the official national chart? What outside source other than itself discusses its reliability and cultural relevancy, so that we may perhaps have the discussion now? Because you see: you're asking all of us simply submit to the rankings of a company who may, for all we know, been added as "acceptable" by its own staff. And also: the "national" charts on which this based and their methodology are about product exposure, not about sales or other objective criteria as to who people prefer; whatever it is, it is not the undeniable proof of popularity and cultural relevance that was the Romanian Top 100, which stood for the Romanian correspondent of the
UK Singles Chart.

Something confusing here.... I translated this page from the Romanian. It was accurate and essentially the same page as the Romanian but in English. The sources are the same Romanian sources too. How is it that these same sources which have been on the Romanian page for years are all of a sudden crap and no good? I don't see a history of this type of debate on the Romanian page. If they are good there how are they not be good here? We need to restore this page back to the former proper translated page that I previously created. The current page is terrible and doesn't even list her history in DJ Project. Is that too in doubt? Come on people this has all gone insane.

What makes "Media Forest" an accurate gauge of chart positions? Who gave them an authoritative position?
What makes Libertatea, the epitome of a tabloid, a quotable source? And did you bother even considering what some of their article titles mean? Like the first one: "Ellie White, tips for new mothers". Yes, eminently quotable encyclopedic material.

1) This is a volunteer project; no one is obligated to contribute. As long as a nomination is not patently frivolous, I am perfectly entitled to make a case and push the case until such time as the discussion closes. Idle threats and misguided insults will not deter me from doing so.
2) I think the headlines of the "sources" you've adduced say it all:
"Ellie White [et al.] at an open-air New Years' concert in Ploiești"
"RD and Ellie White, in top shape after an hour of aerobics"
"AA and Ellie White, cross-dressing on [some show]"
"ELLIE WHITE gives birth to a daughter"
"What SUPERSTITIONS Ellie White et al. have while PREGNANT"
"Ellie White is AS HAPPY as can be! She found out the SEX of her second child"
I think these speak for themselves. Yes, they mention this individual, but they are in no way evidence of encyclopedic notability, they are tabloid chatter (yes, even respectable outlets can have that), routine announcements, cruft, above all unquotable. (No actual article would mention this kind of trivia.)
No real evidence of notability has emerged from this discussion, just a lot of noise, flanked by corporate spam masquerading as a valid substitute for a legitimate chart. -

For the "officiality" of the Media Forest charts see
Romanian Top 100. The latter were official until 2012, and have been compiled by Media Forest since 2010. They are still broadcast by Romanian Kiss FM.
this tells you how the current Media Forest charts are compiled, they have an even broader basis than the Romanian Top 100. As has been pointed out, airplay is another
WP:MUSICBIO criterion, it's # 11, and Ellie White passes that without any doubt.

Comment: I'm actually somewhat familiar with this snack. In any case, this is pretty much a homemade variation of Chex Mix. There's already somewhat of a mention of this of sorts at
Chex_Mix#Homemade_Chex_Mix. No specific names are mentioned, but this is because there are just so many of them out there. (You can use other cereals, but it's usually Chex based.) It is fairly popular and is recorded in various cookbooks under some different names (primarily Puppy Chow and Muddy Buddies), but I don't know if that's entirely a sign of notability per se. I know that typically we like to have some sort of non-cookbook coverage of a snack to show that it really warrants its own article. I'll see what I can find.

After I outmerged the irrelevant information about Hitler's short career as an artist, this is all that is left. It is one of an estimated 300 paintings by Hitler; one of at least four housed at the
Army Center of Military History warehouse. My search on several resources has revealed little about this. Knowing the painting's real title would help. Given it's secluded location I doubt much more about this will come to light anytime soon. I would love to be proven wrong however.

Article was nominated for speedy deletion for non-notable sources and lack of coverage. However, I noticed that she's made it to the NY Bestseller list and USA today Bestseller list. I still think she's most likely non-notable, but a consensus would better serve this article, and perhaps the article being debated on can uncover other information.

Delete "Bestsellers?" Not ... on the USA Today list her book was #115 -- and I admit that it is really hard to know what that number means, but I don't think it supports the "bestseller" moniker. The NYT page is for a book in which she had a story. Neither of those confers notability. I looked up her books - they are self-published through CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Looking at ones that are listed here as "bestsellers" - I found each book in exactly one library in WorldCat. Her runner-up status in the Shamus awards was in the category "Best indie PI..." not "Best PI" story. There's nothing to here to keep.

Keep I agree, this is marginal. However if we ask "Is the encyclopedia better for having it?", then I think the answer is yes. This is someone who had a varied career across a historically interesting period of considerable naval changes. They may have been something of an observer to events, rather than an instigator, but their story is still a useful chronicle of the time. If we were to open a museum gallery, this is just the sort of character who a good museum designer might latch onto in order to tell a historically important narrative, such as the Sudan and China expeditions, through the agency of some more personal character.

Delete. Sources? An unpublished diary and refs from archives plus a single London Times article which, from its title, doesn't appear to directly detail the subject. Even if the citations were available online to audit, there's nothing approaching multiple reliable secondary sources here. A reasonable online search doesn't help us much. WP:SOLDIER gives us guidance on what might be presumed to be notable, but as nominator has pointed out, subject doesn't meet any of the criteria there. Subject is so obscurely sourced, I can only presume this is page creator's relative. I can't disagree with Andy's interpretation of the possible interest a professional historian might find in the subject (such a diary might attract me); until somebody does, we don't have anything upon which to base an encyclopedia article. I'd be only too happy to give this another look if someone better connected to sources can find some.

Keep, as the reason for prior deletion no longer applies - this article was previously deleted, as it had insufficient sources, and was therefore deemed 'original research'. This is no longer the case, and while the article is substantially the same as before (because the method itself has not changed!) there are now articles and papers about it including one from 2014 regarding algorithmic complexity.

Comment. I have found a reliably-sourced review on the Guardian & Observer Digital Archive, by Naomi Lewis in the Observer of 22nd July 1962, page 19: "A splendid jacket by Robin Jacques at once invites the eye. Of course, myths have almost always been unfair to giants: still, we could not separate them from nursery lore, especially when, as in several of these tales, they are merely kindly, stupid fellows, easily outwitted (but not slain) by some sharp little dwarf. Though some are from local sources, others are from as far afield as Russian Georgia or Jutland. But are they so different?" Maybe this could be added as a source if the article survives?

I post this shorter version of a longer comment I made at another of the AfDs concerning the recently posted series of stub articles on minor Civil War engagements because other readers or commenters, and the person who may close this discussion, may not see the other versions of this comment in relation to the same proposal. A list of Civil War skirmishes, or minor engagements to be more complete, would be long indeed. Long, E. B. The Civil War Day by Day: An Almanac, 1861–1865. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1971.
OCLC68283123, p. 719 states that Dyer, 1908 divides the military actions of the Civil War into 29 campaigns, 76 battles, 310 engagements, 46 combats, 1026 actions, 29 assaults, 6,337 skirmishes, 299 operations, 26 sieges, 64 raids, 727 expeditions, 252 reconnaissances, 434 scouts, 639 affairs, 82 occupations and 79 captures. I have looked carefully at Dyer's book and I could find no explanation of how he came up with these names for the various military events of the Civil War. I think 76 is too few for battles. Many of the actions not shown as skirmishes probably would have to be thrown into a list of skirmishes to be complete. It would be a big list, even if subdivided by states, and a big job. A list of a few of them which have been mentioned in deleted articles or stubs, which also may be proposed for deletion, would be too incomplete to be worth much. In this case, I think that the action at Alexander's Bridge should be include in the Battle of Chickamauga and Chickamauga campaign articles, and possibly even receive separate treatment rather than be relegated to some list of skirmishes or otherwise completely omitted.

Delete. This is a close call but this small battle is already covered in summary in the
Battle of Chickamauga article and can, and almost certainly should be, included not only in that article but in the
Chickamauga Campaign article. While this might seem to indicate a "merge" would be the proper course, there is nothing new in this article to merge except the Confederate casualty number of 105, so a merge in effect would be a delete.
If we look only at the facts in light of the general notability guidelines, because I can find nothing that gives any guidance on how to evaluate this specific type of military event, we would have to conclude that this was a notable event. It receives significant coverage from reliable sources. Powell, David A. Failure in the Saddle: Nathan Bedford Forrest, Joe Wheeler, and the Confederate Cavalry in the Chickamauga Campaign. New York: Savas Beatie, LLC, 2010.
ISBN978-1-932714-87-6 has a ten-page chapter on Alexander's Bridge and some earlier remarks. White, William Lee. Bushwhacking on a Grand Scale: The Battle of Chickamauga, September 18-20, 1863. El Dorado Hills, CA: Savas Beattie LLC, 2013.
ISBN978-1-61121-158-0 has a chapter "Alexander's Bridge." The important campaign study, Cozzens, Peter. This Terrible Sound: The Battle of Chickamauga. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1992.
ISBN978-0-252-01703-2, has three solid pages and other text on Alexander's Bridge. Other sources cover it, if more briefly, including Alexander Mendoza, Chickamauga 1863: Rebel Breakthrough, Santa Barbara, CA: Praeger, 2013 and Steven E. Woodworth Six Armies in Tennessee: The Chickamauga and Chattanooga Campaigns, Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1998.
A small Union force of just under 1,000 men held off the leading brigade of a Confederate division which was attempting to cross the Chickamauga Creek on September 18, 1863. Confederate General Braxton Bragg had ordered his corps commanders to cross the creek at four locations to split and defeat in detail the separated Union Army corps. Union Colonel John T. Wilder's "Lightning Brigade", who through private efforts were armed with 7-shot Spencer repeating rifles, defended a previous gap in the Union forward defenses at Alexander's Bridge along Chickamauga Creek. Along with the defenses at Reed's Bridge, Jay's Mill and one or two other locations, the Confederates were delayed in crossing the creek in force almost all day. The Union Army had time to consolidate for the main battle of Chickamauga which started the next day.
So why not have a separate article on this apparently important engagement as well as the other skirmishes or minor battles on September 18? I think they are integral parts of the Battle of Chickamauga, certainly of the 9-day Chickamauga campaign, and can be handled in those article. Reed's Bridge and Alexander's Bridge are already handled by paragraphs in the battle article, which as an opening engagements on September 18 section. I think these paragraphs probably should be expanded by a few sentences or another paragraph or so. I think some mention should be made in the campaign article of these and any other notable actions during the campaign that are not the subject of separate articles but appear to be of significance to the overall campaign and final large battle. If Bragg had been able to get his uncooperative subordinates to move faster, and Union advance units had not delayed them when they moved, the Union Army may have been caught in at least three separate locations in turn by the entire Confederate force. As to the importance of the action at Alexander's Bridge, Powell says at page 120: "In short, Wilder's stout defense cost the Confederates the entire afternoon...."
The September 18 actions have been treated in the books as implicitly or directly as part of the Battle of Chickamauga. They deserve coverage and maybe even redirects. Whether to include such actions as part of a larger battle or a campaign or in separate articles has no clear guidance that I know about, but I think that separate articles are the exception for actions immediately preceding a main battle. I would certainly argue in favor of keeping articles on preliminary actions like those that occurred on September 18, 1863, if they had occurred some days earlier and were not included in the larger articles or took too much space to adequately explain, but I think that is not a necessary outcome here. The only other alternative may be whether Alexander's Bridge and the other actions were large enough and there are enough available facts about them to justify a briefer mention in the battle and campaign articles, as they have in the battle article, but also a separate "main article" for these separate preliminary engagements. I think it is a close call here but I think it is proper to include the September 18 battles (and maybe some September 17 skirmishes) as part of the other Chickamauga articles without having a separate, and no doubt larger, article for each one. I say each one because although Alexander's Bridge may be the most significant, the others receive coverage as well.
I am not sure whether Alexander's Bridge is a plausible search term but I think in view of the coverage in several books, at least a few readers might look for the action under a separate name, but possibly not "Skirmish at Alexander's Bridge.
The 105 casualties were Confederate casualties. Powell, page 117. Cozzens, page 113. Dyer includes Union casualties in a total for the battle. I have not seen a Union casualty figure only for the action at Alexander's Bridge in other sources but it is clear from the narrative that the Union force did not eventually retire unscathed, after some Confederates waded the stream out of range and outflanked them. Maybe a figure could be found but an implication of lower casualties, as the sources appear to imply, may suffice.

OCLC68283123, p. 719 states that Dyer, 1908 divides the military actions of the Civil War into 29 campaigns, 76 battles, 310 engagements, 46 combats, 1026 actions, 29 assaults, 6,337 skirmishes, 299 operations, 26 sieges, 64 raids, 727 expeditions, 252 reconnaissances, 434 scouts, 639 affairs, 82 occupations and 79 captures. I have looked carefully at Dyer's book and I could find no explanation of how he came up with these names for the various military events of the Civil War. I think 76 is too few for battles.

Vol. 5, p. 24 lists a skirmish on July 12, 1862 (not August 23, 1862) at Alderson's Ferry in which two companies of Crook's cavalry killed or wounded 7 Confederates and captured 12 horses. Dyer, 1908, p. 972, lists no Union casualties at a skirmish at Alderson's Ferry on July 23, 1862 (neither July 12 or August 23). No 1862 action at Alderson's Ferry is mentioned in Cohen, Stan.

http://www.civilwartraveler.com/EAST/WV/MoreWV.html#Princeton mentions a "bloody" July 12, 1862 action and states that both sides used the ferry to cross the Greenbrier River and occasional fighting took place here. The July 1862 action appears to be connected to no particular campaign because of lack of significant actions in the area in that time period as shown by Dyer. Alderson's Ferry is too far south and west to have been a location in the Second Manassas Campaign and July 12, especially, would be too early a date. This can be confirmed in Hennessy, John J. Return to Bull Run: The Campaign and Battle of Second Manassas. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1993. ISBN 978-0-8061-318. The date apparently would have to be corrected to July 12 or July 23 - not sure which would is right since there is one source for each and no listing for any date for a skirmish at Alderson's Ferry is shown in Long, E. B. The Civil War Day by Day: An Almanac, 1861–1865. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1971.

In a big conflict like the Civil War,
company-sized engagements generally don't mean much or get called battles. In a smaller one like the
Vietnam War, something like the (still larger battalion vs. regiment)
Battle of Ong Thanh has more relative significance and coverage. A search on "smallest Civil War battle" brings up the
Battle of Dranesville, which involved 9000 soldiers, so this skirmish is not even in the ballpark.

Keep. Close call. This "battle" took place near Monticello, Kentucky. With that information, a little more can be discovered about it. Union Captain Wendell D. Wiltsie was sent on a patrol with 100 men from three different regiments in an effort to find the notorious Confederate guerrilla, Champ Ferguson, who was executed for murder (war crimes essentially) after the war. Instead, Wiltsie ran into an advance party of 300 of John Hunt Morgan's men who were preparing to launch Morgan's raid through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio according to McKnight, Brian D. Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia. The Cyclopedia says the Confederate force was "said to be" Morgan's men. Morgan's orders and the beginning of his raid were about a month later so I suppose that these men might have been from another command but it seems Ferguson did not have that many men in his guerrilla force and it is plausible that Morgan had men in Kentucky earlier. There is enough information in the Cyclopedia entry and McKnight's book to write two or three paragraphs about this. Ferguson and Morgan are both notable. The affair is typical of the unpredictable raids, including guerrilla raids, that garrisons in Kentucky and Tennessee, had to cope with. Some stiff fighting and counterattacks ensued, as well as the Union force burning the still because they thought it was a hiding place for bushwackers. According to the Cyclopedia, Wiltsie's unit suffered 12 casualties and reinforcements sent to help him suffered 3 more. (I don't like using skirmish in the title simply because I think the reader may be looking for "battles". The various titles for battles, engagements, skirmishes, actions and the like in the Civil War seem to have been made up by Dyer in 1908 and I can't find that he ever explained how he came up with the distinctions.) I think this is a close call but since we have a little more information about this and there are some indicators of notability, or at least the potential involvement of the forces of notable commanders, I would keep and expand the article. I don't think this is true of some of the other stubs that have been thrown up recently, which I just discovered. I have commented on two others so far and I will look at the others over the next few days if they are not closed before then.

I really don't like the idea of keeping something that didn't have much of an effect in the military sense simply because some well-known commanders were involved. That would open the floodgates. We'd have to include the action (also in the Cyclopedia) of March 2, 1863, at Aldie, Virginia, because Mosby himself personally led 70 of his men against 50 Union troops. Again, no real significance overall. As a side note, the National Park Service does classify this in passing as "Skirmish Alcorn's Distillery".
[10]Clarityfiend (

By way of comment and not argument: Not losing sight of the fact that we are considering general notability guidelines, I think we don't need to be overly restrictive about articles concerning historical events if they have some coverage in reliable sources, enough detail for a small article and some fact or detail of interest. I did note that this was a close call; I just happened to fall on the other side for the reasons I gave. There are only a limited number of these small engagements in which enough detail to write an article can be found and something of interest or note can be said about them - and which cannot be included in another article as part of a campaign, the lead up to or aftermath of a big battle or in connection with a biography of a commander. (The number of Civil War engagements are somewhat more than 10,000 but available facts, and notability, would support nowhere near that number of potential articles.) The limited number of stand-alone articles that might be created and the facts that Wikipedia does not face space limitations and undoubtedly has hundreds of thousands of articles about minor celebrities, short-run TV shows, entertainment events, you tubers, garage bands and every athlete that ever put on a uniform in a major professional league uniform diminishes the floodgates argument quite a bit for me - and I guess I am writing this in response to that word. I suppose this is getting us off track and is not worth debating, especially here, and also especially because I think our views on these matters - and perhaps more importantly on each article on a case by case basis - appear actually to be quite similar and are likely to mostly coincide as they do on the two other AfDs in this series of Civil War action stubs on which we have both commented so far.

Action at Abraham's Creek was denied speedy deletion. Since I hope to do a reasonably thorough research job on each, I incorporated my research into the article. If it is nominated at AfD, it can be evaluated on the basis that it is about the most that can be done with the article (although there are perhaps two or three other books I might glance at).

@
Donner60: It seems the primary argument here is that this battle is notable because one of its commanders is notable/interesting. Is that an accurate summarization of your position, and if so, how do you reconcile that with notability not being inherited? This is for clarification, not argument; I want to make sure I understand your position. ~ RobTalk 12:54, 24 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Not entirely. Although first I would say that I think that inherited notability would not apply to a historical event because the very participation of notable persons adds to the notability of the event because they help make the event due to their participation or involvement. I might be wrong but I think that concept mostly or entirely applies to people. So by way of made up example, Elvis's son who did nothing but work at an anonymous job and mind his own business does not become notable because of the identity of his father. Presumably because of this, the son would not have independent coverage by reliable sources of anything he might have done of any note except for his being the son. Here we have some coverage in sources about an event in which there was some fighting and casualties and appear to have informed the Union garrison of the presence of a large force of Morgan's cavalry in the area. While Morgan himself apparently was not present, his men were almost certainly there by his command and apparently with a purpose that resulted in a notable raid. The facts that this was an unsuccessful attempt to find the notorious Ferguson, but the patrol found what seems to have been a large advance party of Morgan's men a short time before the start of their famous raid, and fought off this larger group successfully, makes this event more notable than an ordinary minor battle, in my opinion. It also seems to be a good example, because of the additional facts that we have, of what garrisons in border states or occupied areas had to cope with from guerrillas and raiders.

Comment - This fascination with the Civil War is amazing. Never have I seen so much well researched debate over a stub AfD (and the creator of this one left a trail of other stub skirmishes). Last April The Economist wrote
this article about the US Civil War, stating "many Americans remain fascinated by the conflict. In 2002 the Library of Congress estimated that 70,000 books had been published about it, more than one a day since the war ended." Cheers.
Magnolia677 (

Comment A major problem with this type of trail of stub articles, regardless of the general topic, is summarized in the brief essay
Wikipedia:Kittens. I will let that speak for itself but I do note that these types of articles present problems for reviewers and those interested in the general subject. The stubs may all appear to be on subjects without much notability or of any value as they stand, but the subject of a few of them may be notable and others might have some facts that could be included in other articles. Almost no guidance can be had from the articles. Reviewers must try to find out whether anything notable and significant can be found on the topic and decide what recommendations or actions to take (keep, merge, decline). My guess is that many people are not going to want to spend significant time finding information or cleaning up stubs that do not already have a few facts showing notability or interest and do not cite any of the references that might be found to support an article. And while some of the support may exist, it may not all be online. (I am fortunate to have quite a few books on military history, many on the American Civil War, and have access to Questia and JSTOR through Wikipedia.) I decided to omit an even longer discussion of this that I had drafted since I am probably approaching posting too much here already, even though this is related to evaluation of the series of stubs of which the subject article is one.

@
PWilkinson: Many of these people currently do not have an article and I believe that they do not deserve one.
This list has many redlinks and they most of them seem to be either minor sportsmen or minor socialites (there is, of course, the occasional MP and the occasional railway baron, who do diserve an article). Being a minor socialite could be enough for a caricature but is not considered notable, even by that time′s standards. And this is what this particular gentleman was.--

Suggestion: if it is felt that having been caricatured in Vanity Fair does not indicate notability, how about merging the non-notable articles with the lists of caricatures themselves? In Anstruther-Thomson's case it would be something like this (though formatted more neatly):
ColonelJohn Anstruther-Thomson of Charleton and Carntyne
VDDLJP (8 August 1818 – 8 October 1904) was the son of
John Anstruther-Thomson of Charleton and Clementina Blair. He died at age 86. He would have inherited the title of the 18th
Lord St. Clair on 10 April 1833, but for the
attainder.
In 1860 the
Fifeshire Mounted Rifle Volunteers were re-raised and the then Captain Anstruther Thomson joined on leaving the Regular Army.
In 1866 [1] he took over command from the late
Earl of Rosslyn of the same Regiment his father had commanded some half a century before. After his command he gained the rank of Honorary Colonel of the Fife and Forfar Imperial Yeomanry.
@

The result was merge to
Cuisine of the Midwestern United States. Consensus is fairly clear that the article should is not suitable and should be merged, but as an aside, however, the current article does not even claim that this is a significant feature of midwestern cuisine, it claims that it's a thing in "small rural German-American communities". This is pretty specific and if we can find a place to mention this in the target article it should be given due weight (i.e. very little coverage). I would also suggest that the topic could be given more in-depth coverage in a more suitable article such as
German American#Culture perhaps. This page should be redirected to any article that ends up covering the topic more than the current target can.

Comment I don't think that a merge to
Cuisine of the Midwestern United States is appropriate, and I think that it is not easily feasible. The Cuisine article is about dishes, this article is about an event. That some type of food is the subject of the event can not equate it to a dish or a type of cuisine. It is also not clear where this should be added at the cuisine article.

Thank you
Shawn in Montreal and
Flowers4mums for your time. Articles created by me till todate have diversity in subjects like Motherly wisdom, living and dead personalities, good parenting, how to raise high performing children, young girls choosing their careers, human smuggling, emotions of transgender people, Army, Navy, Air Force, prostitution, music concert film and Importance of Maritime sector and so on... there is no promotion of any individual or company in my articles.
As part of wiki family, I respect all family members and their POV. Reference to my recent articles about Pakistan Army, Navy and Air Force, (
Sons of the Soil,
Power of the Sea, and
Flying Tigers) as they are entirely different in nature, departments and operations and what I understand is, this is the reason why Avtek Media Group made separate documentaries and I have created separate articles as there is a need to justify with the subjects.
The Making show was made and named
Har Dam Tayyar for TV promotions to explain audience the topics and importance of these documentaries. This is what article
Har Dam Tayyar is saying. I recommend these articles should remain separate and all will have their separate notability. Trust me. Kind regardsTalentforfilm (

Very very weak keep I went through most of the refs. At least a half dozen have no mention of her (#s 1-3, 6, 10, 14). Another group are mentions in announcements of events, playlists, or blogs (#s 6, 9, 12, 14-16). I have no idea if these are RS (#s 4,-5, 13). The ones listed as #21 & 22 indicate that she was given an award at a music festival in Berlin (CTM festival). I don't know how significant this is, but the festival is ongoing so it might be notable. As an underground artist, the only sources are going to be underground sources, so determining notability is very difficult. For sure, though, the article should be edited to remove obviously non-RS sources.

Thanks for the input. There are more references to Sol Rezza, mostly in Spanish language, Should I attach them to the current edition?. I do not want to overdo the amount of references in the article and already it has more than fifty references. I insist she is an artist mainly known in Latin America. in English there are not many references (she is a strong emerging artist in the English language scene) and that is why I am creating this page on wikipedia. I work doing workshops on women's work in sound and unfortunately there are very few references of these kind of works and artists on the Internet, mainly women working with sound in Latin America although they are recognized and well known in their countries and abroad. Thank you for your time and all your kind advice.
Panz4 Troupé (

Panz4 Troupe - weak references can (and perhaps should) be removed so that the strong references are more visible. The references that do not mention her (if they are still in the article) should be removed. The references that are mere listings of performances can be removed if they are not essential to support a statement in the article. Where there are multiple reference for the same statement, it may be possible to reduce the number by selecting the "best" one. References in languages other than English are fine, so if there are stronger references in Spanish you can use them -- especially if they replace weaker references in English. Note that references to performances or works of hers do not support notability in the way that references ABOUT her do. So you should not overload the article with references to her performances, although some of those can go into the external links. The article is definitely improved! Good work! I've changed my !vote to "keep".

Doris Lessing "seems notable"? Only one Nobel Prize in Lierature; I guess she's no better than marginal. We all know that the literary work of Nobelists garners little or no critical attention, as the eighty-odd pages of Google Scholar citations for this title so resoundingly demonstrates. Where is Qworty when you need him to purge Wikipedia of such unworthy doggerel?
You know, there is more reliably source-quality critical commentary out there on Martha Quest than there is on
Jonny Quest,
Seaquest DSV, and

The article definitely needs a major rewrite and some actual
reliable sourcing, but the claim of notability — member of a state legislature — is definitely there under
WP:NPOL. However, it's important to be aware that there have been articles created which claimed that the topic served in a state or provincial or federal legislature, which actually turned out to be outright
WP:HOAXes when somebody went looking for improved sources. So we don't keep such an article based on the claim that they served in a legislature — we keep it based on the sourcing that can be provided to verify the claim that they served in a legislature. So keep if a source can be located — our sources don't have to be in English, so if a Hindi speaker can help out then by all means go for it — but move to draftspace to allow time for further research if it can't.

Week delete unless sources can be found. I don't consider the publisher page an independent, reliable source. I think he was a member, thus notable, but there needs to be sources. There are also factual problems in the article such as "under Governor E. Raghvendra Rao." Only the British were governor's in the 1920's and 1930's during the time of the Central Provinces & of the Berar Assembly. Rao was a member of that assembly.

J. L. Verma was MLC in Old CP and Berar and E. raghvendra Rao was Governor. At that time in British India this post of Governor used to exist, it is like present chief minister. Madhya Pradesh state assembly mentioned all his contributions in the proceedings of 27 August 1981 such as freedom movement, Saugor University, etc. mentioned.

"Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG." If the place is not legally recognized we would also need sources to establish at least traces of notability.

Comment — The US'

GEOnet Names Server lists "Faradābād" as the name for the village, so the article should probably be updated to reflect that. Still looking for legal status and other traces of notability. I think what will help the most is finding the name of the village in the

I don't know. The GNS entry listed the coordinates 23° 44' 40" N, 090° 52' 38" E. Checking that in Google Maps, it fell right where the "Fardabad, Bangladesh" linked from Oakshade's comment above was. The database lists it as a "populated place". There are a few other entries for Fardabad that are indeed in Chittagong. There are no entries in the GNS database for "Fordabad", however.

Delete. I've tried asking the author/subject to provide references to demonstrate notability according to our criteria, but had no sensible reply. The only real claim to notability is as an academic, and I haven't been able to locate anything which suggests that he meets the
WP:ACADEMIC criteria. It is possible that he meets it, but the article entirely fails to provide anything to demonstrate this amongst all the invalid Wikipedia citations, links to Amazon, Scribe, YouTube etc. This isn't the first AfD either - see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnson Gao which likewise closed as delete as lacking evidence of notability.

Oh God I read all of it. Ladies and gents, we are here to ascertain the subject's notability. I can understand someone writing a stub on someone marginally notable. However, I cannot imagine anyone writing a long in-depth piece unless (1) the person is really very notable or (2) they are so stuck up their own backsides that they think themselves important to be in an encyclopedia and that they are the only suitable author. Given the claims made about the subject are transparently hollow, I assume it is the latter. I really hope China isn't following India in terms of producing people who will pen their autobiography, using flowery hagriographic prose that would get them thrown out of a introductory creative writing class for being nearly unreadable.

WP:ACADEMICS due to the problems in the article, but I'm not seeing evidence of academic notability. It's a shame to remove this article based on all of the work that went into it. However, it has a serious number of problems. First, it uses WP in references, which is not appropriate. All other references are to the subject's own articles. Then, it goes way beyond the topic at hand with information about the person's interest in music, etc., which don't apply to notability as a scientist. I don't see any third-party references, but if we're looking at this with academic notability in mind that is not the key problem. However, I don't see anything here that would lead to notability as an academic, either. Also, note that the creator of the article is JKGAO. sighLaMona (

Keep. Unquestionably notable, since she has works in the permanent collection of major museums, which is the basic criterion for creative artists. The NYT review of her book confirms it, and it and the other reviews are independent sources. . The article very obviously needs considerable improvement, primarily by cutting--articles written as promotionally as this trend to attract unfavorable attention,especially if the main WP-relevant notability is not clearly stated in the beginning. To improve the article, I will remove some of the obvious minor material so it focusses on the notability. (If she were less notable I would have considered G11,but for someone clearly important I prefer to rewrite; if the rewriting arouses opposition, then G11 is in order because it cannot be fixed by normal editing.

Comment - Not really sure what is attempting to be achieved here, none of the sources presented above add any weight to the notion of a "fully" professional league:
Source 1 - Can't see anything in the regulations regaridng full professionalism,nothing in section four of the regulations makes any comment about a minimum salary for example.
Source 2 - Makes no mention of professioanlism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 3 - This is jusy the national associations FIFA page. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 4 - The presence of foreign coaches does not indicate full professionalism and there is no reason why it should. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 5 - Mentions professionalism, and no one here on in earlier conversations is doubting there is at least a degree of professionalism, but nothing to support fullprofessionalism. Comments such as After plenty of discussion, the BFF stuck to its previous plans of keeping the BPL a ten team affair – rejecting discussion over the last few days to increase the number to 14. The decision was based largely on the assessment that 14 teams would not be able to maintain the basic standard, due to a scarcity of quality players suggest the league is not fully pro as a league which was would be more likely to attract players of sufficient quality.
Sourcre 6 - A
routine match report. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion.
Source 7 - Unclear how a $70000 sponsorship deal is meant to confirm full professionalism for the league. Almost every countries' top league will have some level of sponsorship and some cash prize available which makes them professional to a degree. This does not mean they are fully professional.
Source 8 - This is just the league's page on FIFA's website. Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. All leagues, regardless of their level of professionalism have these pages.
Source 9 - Makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. There is no "full professionalism" requirement of the AFC Cup.
Source 10 - Makes no mention of professioanlism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. Promotion and relegation exists at all levels of football, amateur or professional.
Source 11 - Mentions payment of sponsorship money to clubs, but makes no mention of professionalism at all, therefore not relevant to this discussion. Unclear how such a small payment could support the whole of a playing squad (excluding non-playing staff).

Delete The Bangladesh Premier League is not listed at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. A single AfD is not the place to discuss inclusion of any league, that should be done at the project page. In the meanwhile, this player fails
WP:NFOOTY, and coverage is rather
WP:ROUTINE (match reports with trivial mentions), so he fails also
WP:GNG. In case the Bangladesh Premier League is added to the list of FPL, the article may be re-created, but in the meanwhile we should abide by the guideline. Guidelines are intended to save time and effort, and represent current consensus. It's not helpful to try to squeeze one's favorite subject's into Wikipedia by refusing to accept the guidelines and trying to bury one's opponents under

They are Czech porn-industry related magazines and newspapers who clearly think Angel Wicky is news, whatever that means. I doubt these publications rise to the level of The Guardian or the New York Times in terms of sourcing, editorial review and such, but at the same time, it seems fairly clear to me that in the Czech porn world, AW is a big deal, although my personal sense is that I would prefer this kind of stuff not be in Wikipedia, as I said, but that is my view, and I'm just trying to go by the

SIP is a Czech entertainment-lifestyle magazine, translated
here, which almost certainly does not have the journalistic standards of The Guardian or the New York Times but it does what it does -- covers celebrity news, lifestyle information, sex and relationships. It has high production values (colorful images, links) and is current-oriented, meaning it probably has a wide circulation among Czech-speaking people, that is, if it printed untruths or made up stories, it would lose readers. It has a
newsroom and an editor in chief named Michal Broz. What I am saying is that Angel Wicky gets sufficient exposure in this magazine, with wide circulation, with editors and reporters and writers and advertisers, that it qualifies (in my view) as a
reliable source although I realize that it is unfamiliar to most of us living in the western world.--
Tomwsulcer (

Yes something along those lines. Here's a translated home page of another magazine called topky which, like you say, appears similar to Hello magazine -- it is that type of magazine, as you rightly point out. So if people consider magazines like Hello to be substandard for Wikipedia, then they'll probably vote Delete, or if they allow it, then a case could be made for Keep. Views on this can vary. For me, in the pop culture cruft world of entertainment and celebrities and gossip and crap, this is standard fare, sourcing wise, probably okay for crufty subjects like a porn star, but definitely not suitable for a subject like the health effects of breast implants.--

Delete fails
WP:PORNBIO which was the original reason (under the earlier wording of the guideline) that this article was created, and kept at the time. I would accept the sources found by Tomwsulcer as collateral for somebody with a very slim pass of any other guideline, but on their own these sources can not establish notability under
WP:GNG. Tabloid magazines are not independent enough from porn stars and Playboy playmates. It would indeed require multiple stories in the Czech Republics largest mainstream metro newspapers (comparable to the New York Times or the Guardian as pointed out above), or something from the big TV stations, to clear GNG, not necessarily for their reliability (if I see bare breasts, I believe that they are there) but for the breadth of their audience and their choice of what they publish. Show me some in-depth story in, let's say
Právo, and I'll have a look.

Delete. I moved this to
Draft:Bear With Me with the intention that he would work on it there. This game hasn't even released yet and hasn't received the coverage necessary to really pass notability guidelines. I say that this mainspace article should be deleted (since it's identical to the draft version) and the entry salted to prevent re-creation prior to the article's acceptance via AfC, as they've also tried to create this at
Bear with me (where I first discovered it) and they tried to re-create it there rather than work on the draftspace copy as I requested.

If it is salted,
Tokyogirl79, doesn't that mean only admins will be able to move the AfC from draft to mainspace? How would it work? Anarchyte 12:11, 27 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Exactly that - whomever accepts the article will have to get an admin to unsalt the page to ensure that it isn't accepted too soon. Mostly I want this as a deterrent for the article creator (although AfC does tend to be a little too lenient sometimes), as he's already shown that he'd be likely to try to re-create the article if it's left unsalted.

Delete - Way way
too soon as it is not scheduled for release until later this year. Notability cannot exists for a game that does not exist. VelellaVelella Talk 11:33, 27 July 2015 (UTC)reply
While I agree that this is not notable I am unsure what you mean by a game that does not exists. if you mean games that are not yet released I strongly disagree since there is nothing in
WP:N that even remotely states that unrelated media can't be notable. For example, while neither
Super Mario Maker or
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice are yet to be released any attempt to delete them By claiming that the don't exist would fail miserably. if I misread that and does not exist meant something else please disregard.--

Delete. Too soon for an article. All I see on Google searches is social media. If this is being recreated, then I'd endorse salting the title. Unreleased products can be notable, but it takes press attention, and this typically doesn't happen outside of big budget, high profile works.

National Indian Bar Association is one of the most prestigious lawyers organisation and has awarded him for his contributions in cyber law. He has handled India's first Cyber Morphing and Identity Theft Case. Check out his facebook page to known that 48 thousand peoples likes his page and which means he is popular as well. Prashant Mali is an advocate considered to be the only cyber law expert in India. he holds a 13 episodes series on DD Sakhi Sahyadri. Apart from that, he has handled the most biggest cyber cases including
Amir Khan,
Poonam Pandey and
Sunny Leone. Thereby, it is obvious that the deletion of such profile will result in the loss to Wikipedia and us. Also, Improved the referencing and removed some social media links according to your guidelines. Kindly considered to remove the article from Afd page. — Preceding

Handling first casecitation needed doesn't make him notable. Its just that he luckily happened to do that. Also fighting cases on behalf of celebrities doesn't make him notable. See
WP:NOTINHERITED. If you say he is "expert" am sure many critics have written about him. Don't quote us 1-2 lines from newspapers and don't quote us his own quotes printed in newspapers. Bar Association presenting some award is just sort of in-house award ceremony. §§

It doesn't matter if the article stays on Wikipedia or not, but I just want you to research about cyber law experts in India so that your opinion will be good. Also, for your information there is a C4 Conference at Mumbai Today, Where many of the Cyber Experts are attending do check the list of speakers and you will understand.

While the person has been quoted by a few media agencies, that's all there is to it.

Merge the couple sentences of reliable content into
comparison shopping#Niche players per
WP:NOTEWORTHY and

[53] on which the original article was based. Either way, strongly suggest that somebody with the technical skills and the appropriate admin-bits create an abuse filter (tag-but-not-disallow) that will raise an alert whenever the names of the founders of
Rubber Road and their spin-off
Trade In Detectives are inserted into mainspace, since besides those two legal entities, they have at least three or four more corporations, further noting that they sometimes use shorter nicknames and sometimes use their full legal names.
[54] Cannot remain a dedicated article in my opinion, despite technically passing
WP:GNG; topic fails to
truly demonstrate
WP:N, because
sources are all from the narrow Aug'13-Dec'13 range, and are all English-language videogame-related-press (which makes sense since site only offers comparison-shop for UK retailers and only for videgame-related-items). That constitutes a single burst of regional coverage per
WP:NSOFT essay, see also
WP:PERSISTENCE notability-guideline. No new WP:RS to be found, in the additional 19 months since Aug'13-Dec'13 that the business has been around; narrow-scope and narrow-timeframe coverage only lasted the first four months after official-biz-launch. Still qualifies as
WP:NOTEWORTHY obviously, but given the circumstances, I understand why folks might lean towards straight deletion, as a future-spam-deterrent-mechanism. Thanks.

Keep no way that
Media Forest could be referred to as "cruft", their charts actually are the official record charts in Romania and an artist who, as noted in the article, ranked several times in their charts including a second place in 2011 certainly passes several criteria of MUSICBIO.
Cavarrone 05:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Even accepting, for argument's sake, that Media Forest is a reliable source, that really doesn't do much for this individual. For starters, she never rose above 43rd place in their rankings, as far as I can tell. But that's a relatively minor point; the more salient one has to do with the fact that no guideline suggests one's mere presence in a chart proves notability. Sure, it can contribute to a claim of notability, but this is after all an encyclopedia, not a directory of every musician who has ever charted, regardless of
WP:BASIC ("significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject"). Even
WP:MUSBIO a) notes that people filling at least one of the criteria "may be notable" (i.e., are not automatically notable) and b) reiterates WP:BASIC as the very first criterion ("multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself"). If no outside source has bothered to grant a musician even the semblance of significant coverage, there is no reason we should be doing so.
Meanwhile, I've stripped out the unsourced or poorly sourced material. If that's all there can be said about the subject, again, it's not something worth keeping around. -
BiruitorulTalk 17:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)reply
While you are certainly allowed to not consider MUSICBIO a valid guideline, as long as MUSICBIO was not deprecated you have to accept that editors commonly use to consider notable musicians who charted, and especially musicians who ranked second in a national chart. And this should be even more clear as you recently started a number of similar AfDs using the same rationale (artists who charted in the Romanian Top-10 or so but whose current coverage is poor) and they ended with keep outcomes (
[55],
[56],
[57],
[58],
[59]). At some point, your keeping to nominate for deletion successful artists who ranked in the Romanian top 10 could be considered disruptive and
pointy. Also, your bold "cleanup"
[60] in the middle of a deletion discussion seems to me very inopportune (to be fair), especially as you removed the second place of her song I noted in my rationale
[61] as well as other decently sourced stuff you may consider "cruft" but others maybe not.
Cavarrone 22:38, 1 August 2015 (UTC)reply
I prefer to deal in facts, not speculation. To wit:
I have absolutely nothing against
WP:MUSBIO; I think it's a very useful tool for gauging musicians' notability. It's just that I also pay attention to
WP:GNG,
WP:BASIC, and the very first point of WP:MUSBIO, all of which explicitly call for "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". Nothing in WP:MUSBIO invalidates that call, and rightly so: without significant external coverage of individuals, there really is no reason for us to be providing standalone articles on them.
Yes, I performed a
bold cleanup because, frankly, I would rather not have us be indefinitely clogged with yet more uncited dreck. If you think I went too far in places, please, go ahead and edit the article–while keeping in mind
WP:V,
WP:RS,
WP:SPS,
WP:BURDEN and all other relevant policies.
In sum: no reliable source has bothered to cover this individual in any depth, a couple of raw listings have her charting in the 40s and the 90s, and one utterly discreditable site claims she made second place for a day. Really, if that's the level of coverage that exists (and it does seem to be the case), the argument for deletion remains solid. -
BiruitorulTalk 00:39, 2 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Are you claiming Agenția de Presă Mondenă has fabricated the news? ...including the screenshot from the Media Forest website which documents the second place? Sorry, I don't buy such a conspiracy theory and I am restoring this material. About the rest, your long explanation is just confirming my "speculation": you are nominating Romanian dance artists who clearly meet several points of MUSICBIO (which is not a tool, it actually is an established notability guideline as well as GNG and the others) with the rationale they fail GNG. Your claim you have nothing against MUSICBIO is contradicted by the current AfD and by a number of failed AfDs you recently started. While I respect your views but if you disagree about MUSICBIO criteria being notability criteria, you should discuss your concerns in the MUSICBIO talk page instead of starting AfDs about top10 artists. For sure, you should not blame and badger editors who vote to keep the page "per MUSICBIO" as long as MUSICBIO is met and it is still a valid notability guideline.
Cavarrone 07:17, 2 August 2015 (UTC)reply
You're putting words into my mouth and poisoning the well at the same time. No, I don't claim the "news" (if you can call it that) is fabricated, but that it's from an unquotable source. There are many sources we don't quote, even if they relay accurate information; see
Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard for the lengthy discussions that go on about this. A gossip aggregator plainly seems to fall into the category of the unquotable. -

Delete -- disregarding Cavarrone's lawyering above, there is absolutely nothing in the article (including in the original form) that would satisfy the universal or particular notability guidelines. The sources that were trimmed are chaff.
Dahn (
talk) 04:41, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
To expand: the crux of the contrived keep argument is that Ellie White satisfied MUSICBIO because she came second in the "Media Forest Chart", as per MUSICBIO's definition that subjects may be notable if they get "a single or album on any country's national music chart."
Media Forest, mind you, is no such chart: it is not a record of sales, it is a private-run, paid-for, and self-sourced ranking of airplay on a number of radio stations (from its own description, as pasted into the article: "The company provides a service in which artists and musicians Purchase a subscription that provides them real time information on broadcast channels, which have an Internet broadcast interface"). That it is to say: Media Forest is, itself, cruft; its entry on wikipedia is shameless advertising. One wonders if they and their employees are not being paid to enhance the exposure of aspiring artists on wikipedia as well.
Dahn (
talk) 04:50, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Update: I want to emphatically address Cavarrone's misinformation above: Media Forest is not, and never was, anything closely resembling "the official charts in Romania". For the official (and defunct) charts, look no further than
Romanian Top 100. The claim that Media Forest is in any way the current national chart is sourced exclusively to that article, and the source (Media Forest's own page...) doesn't even verify that claim. Who added it to the text, btw? Possibly the same IP who gave us
this cruft as well.
Dahn (
talk) 05:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Replying to the emphatic fuss above: most of the chart companies are generally private-run and paid-for (while I have no idea about what you actually intend for "self-sourced"), they are not public institutions and generally earn from their researches. Nothing in your extended analysis suggests Media Forest datas are unreliable or that Media Forest is not "a country's national music chart", it is recognized as reliable by
WP:CHART and is marked as the only "
recommended chart" for Romania. The point they offer an extended service for pay (real time airplay monitoring) does not mean in any way, shape, or form they are unreliable nor it is something so rare (eg. the leading company in this field AFAIN,
Nielsen, offers the same and additional services for their subscribers
[62][63]).
Cavarrone 06:59, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Then you should have no problem finding as an independent reliable source that even so much as suggests Media Forest is in anyway "the official chart". For now, your claim is self-sources, and, as a Romanian speaker, I could find absolutely no source stating this claim -- not even Media Forest seems to spell it out anywhere. But do prove me wrong.
Dahn (
talk) 09:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
It's probably telling that you still don't know by this stage what "self-sourced" means -- it means that wikipedia doesn't trust a commercial source to describe itself accurately. Carlsberg is probably not the best beer in the world just because Carlsberg says it is; Media Forest is probably not the relevant national chart just because it itself hints at that.
Dahn (
talk) 09:17, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
I largely agree with that, but sadly I have to repeat myself again as apparently you didn't take my point and I suspect you are giving a different meaning to the word "official" against me. Quoting myself above, Media Forest is "a country's national music chart" as prescribed by MUSICBIO, recognized as reliable by
WP:CHART and marked as the only "
recommended chart" for Romania (nor there are other Romanian charts listed as
acceptable charts), and in this sense it is "the official chart" and the only chart WE currently apply and use for Romania, ie WE designed it as the official source for our scope and our purposes, period. That's what interests me, not some futile discussions about being "the best beer of the world". Generally speaking, I would take with a pinch of salt any claim about any chart being "the official chart" for a country (not even Billboard or Nielsen charts are THE OFFICIAL charts in this sense, let alone Romanian Top 100), and if you read my vote-rationale such as "Romania officially designed Media Forest as their official chart record company" sorry, but it was not what I intended to say.
Cavarrone 11:29, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Who added it there, based on what rationale, and why out of all available charts? As for the rule, it says that we should go with a national chart -- all other criteria not being met, as they are not in met in this case. But that is not the national chart, is it?
Dahn (
talk) 13:16, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
First question, to make the long story short, its inclusion depends from the methodology used to compile the charts, MF's methodology (you can find described in their website) is considered serious, others you will find in
WP:BADCHARTS not. Second point, yes, the Romanian branch of MF (www.mediaforest.ro) provides several specific national charts, ranging from daily to annual basis (otherwise it would not even be the recommended chart for this country).
Cavarrone 15:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Its inclusions depends on
the whim of the user who added it. Was its inclusion even discussed, and assessed against other national charts? who determined its reliability and reputation when they chose it as the automatic successor for the official national chart? What outside source other than itself discusses its reliability and cultural relevancy, so that we may perhaps have the discussion now? Because you see: you're asking all of us simply submit to the rankings of a company who may, for all we know, been added as "acceptable" by its own staff. And also: the "national" charts on which this based and their methodology are about product exposure, not about sales or other objective criteria as to who people prefer; whatever it is, it is not the undeniable proof of popularity and cultural relevance that was the Romanian Top 100, which stood for the Romanian correspondent of the
UK Singles Chart.
Dahn (

1) This is a volunteer project; no one is obligated to contribute. As long as a nomination is not patently frivolous, I am perfectly entitled to make a case and push the case until such time as the discussion closes. Idle threats and misguided insults will not deter me from doing so.
2) I think the headlines of the "sources" you've adduced say it all:
"Ellie White [et al.] at an open-air New Years' concert in Ploiești"
"RD and Ellie White, in top shape after an hour of aerobics"
"AA and Ellie White, cross-dressing on [some show]"
"ELLIE WHITE gives birth to a daughter"
"What SUPERSTITIONS Ellie White et al. have while PREGNANT"
"Ellie White is AS HAPPY as can be! She found out the SEX of her second child"
I think these speak for themselves. Yes, they mention this individual, but they are in no way evidence of encyclopedic notability, they are tabloid chatter (yes, even respectable outlets can have that), routine announcements, cruft, above all unquotable. (No actual article would mention this kind of trivia.)
No real evidence of notability has emerged from this discussion, just a lot of noise, flanked by corporate spam masquerading as a valid substitute for a legitimate chart. -

For the "officiality" of the Media Forest charts see
Romanian Top 100. The latter were official until 2012, and have been compiled by Media Forest since 2010. They are still broadcast by Romanian Kiss FM.
this tells you how the current Media Forest charts are compiled, they have an even broader basis than the Romanian Top 100. As has been pointed out, airplay is another
WP:MUSICBIO criterion, it's # 11, and Ellie White passes that without any doubt.

Comment: I'm actually somewhat familiar with this snack. In any case, this is pretty much a homemade variation of Chex Mix. There's already somewhat of a mention of this of sorts at
Chex_Mix#Homemade_Chex_Mix. No specific names are mentioned, but this is because there are just so many of them out there. (You can use other cereals, but it's usually Chex based.) It is fairly popular and is recorded in various cookbooks under some different names (primarily Puppy Chow and Muddy Buddies), but I don't know if that's entirely a sign of notability per se. I know that typically we like to have some sort of non-cookbook coverage of a snack to show that it really warrants its own article. I'll see what I can find.

Delete - per nom and the because most of the source links are dead. Most of the sources seem to be to either a particular newspaper or a college (as I said some do not work). More
third party working sources asserting further
notability would be needed for the article to its warrant retention.—

After I outmerged the irrelevant information about Hitler's short career as an artist, this is all that is left. It is one of an estimated 300 paintings by Hitler; one of at least four housed at the
Army Center of Military History warehouse. My search on several resources has revealed little about this. Knowing the painting's real title would help. Given it's secluded location I doubt much more about this will come to light anytime soon. I would love to be proven wrong however.

Update 2 - I discovered we have a photo of the painting in its warehouse. The one on the upper left is arguably more notable: it was one of Hitler's during a rejected submission to the Vienna School of Art. It was one of four concerned in Price v. United States. Would have to find coverage of this one specifically to ascertain notability.
Mark Schierbecker (

Comment -- Hitler is of course notorious. Because of that his work is never exhibited. The question is whether he was sufficiently good as an artist for his (short) atistic career to merit an article. If kept, it should be renamed to reflect its true title, "Old Court In Munich", by Hitler, Adolf (as now discovered).

Delete As it stands the article makes close to no specific comments on its namesake painting, just commenting on Hitler's art in general. I've searched around and found close to nothing on it. There do seem to be a few books around about Hitler's career as a painter however, and perhaps if someone can get a hold of one that contains information about this specific painting the article can be salvaged.

Article was nominated for speedy deletion for non-notable sources and lack of coverage. However, I noticed that she's made it to the NY Bestseller list and USA today Bestseller list. I still think she's most likely non-notable, but a consensus would better serve this article, and perhaps the article being debated on can uncover other information.

Delete "Bestsellers?" Not ... on the USA Today list her book was #115 -- and I admit that it is really hard to know what that number means, but I don't think it supports the "bestseller" moniker. The NYT page is for a book in which she had a story. Neither of those confers notability. I looked up her books - they are self-published through CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Looking at ones that are listed here as "bestsellers" - I found each book in exactly one library in WorldCat. Her runner-up status in the Shamus awards was in the category "Best indie PI..." not "Best PI" story. There's nothing to here to keep.

No indication is given that the beer is independently notable. Sources are a page of user-submitted reviews (not reliable) and the brewery itself. For about a year the page was a

Liv and Maddie to this article. Should we put this page on semi-protection? Also, I removed a section called "slogans" due to a lack of sourcing, and the slogans were not in English either. One of them even mentioned Liv and Maddie, despite the fact that the Disney Channel sitcom about identical twins does not seem to have any sort of connection to this particular article.

Clarityfiend (

Keep I agree, this is marginal. However if we ask "Is the encyclopedia better for having it?", then I think the answer is yes. This is someone who had a varied career across a historically interesting period of considerable naval changes. They may have been something of an observer to events, rather than an instigator, but their story is still a useful chronicle of the time. If we were to open a museum gallery, this is just the sort of character who a good museum designer might latch onto in order to tell a historically important narrative, such as the Sudan and China expeditions, through the agency of some more personal character.
Andy Dingley (

Delete. Sources? An unpublished diary and refs from archives plus a single London Times article which, from its title, doesn't appear to directly detail the subject. Even if the citations were available online to audit, there's nothing approaching multiple reliable secondary sources here. A reasonable online search doesn't help us much. WP:SOLDIER gives us guidance on what might be presumed to be notable, but as nominator has pointed out, subject doesn't meet any of the criteria there. Subject is so obscurely sourced, I can only presume this is page creator's relative. I can't disagree with Andy's interpretation of the possible interest a professional historian might find in the subject (such a diary might attract me); until somebody does, we don't have anything upon which to base an encyclopedia article. I'd be only too happy to give this another look if someone better connected to sources can find some.
