No context, no references, no links to other articles. The first sentence is one of several self-referential definitions. This topic may be notable, but the content of the article is unencyclopedic in tone and would need to be completely re-written. Neither an expert nor a non-expert would be likely to understand the content. Roches ( talk) 02:24, 9 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per recommendations above: its a problem of someone not writing encyclopedically, not that the topic isn't notable. A quick google books/scholar search shows plenty of fairly significant discussion of the topic on its own. That being said, a well done merge might be useful in the shortterm, until someone takes a real pass at creating a full article, Sadads ( talk) 20:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I suspect the lack of comments is due to the first part of the bikeshed effect: since none really understands what the article topic is about none wishes to comment. I can safely say that I do not understand, either.
Searching for sources makes it clear this is a real thing (for instance, see this). Now this is probably going to be a "permatagged" (overtechnical article with little chance to ever be brought to a mortal's understanding). Tigraan ( talk) 11:34, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as a copyright violation; nice catch, Мандичка. Once the copyvio text is deleted, only the title and a bare reference is left. Robustness diagrams seem common enough to be notable. Hence no prejudice to a newly re-created article that is properly written and referenced. -- Mark viking ( talk) 00:08, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Iggy Azalea. There's no significant coverage for the mixtape itself, except for one of its notable songs. TBrandley ( talk) 01:05, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Firstly, because of WP:BEFORE, section C2: "If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article." Further, the mixtape is discussed in two interviews here: [9] and [10]. This is the debut work of a notable artist and whilst the internet is awash with non-notable references to the EP, it would be a shame if Wikipedia were not the one trustworthy site that people could use. Also see [11] and [12]. Dennisthemonkeychild ( talk) 09:09, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Considerable time meaning how long? The creator uploaded the artwork, created an infobox, a minuscule lead and abandoned the article with an incomplete article tag. Other than that, there's been one IP editor making one edit, and myself giving the article a cleanup. How long do we wait before considering the article for deletion? If needs be, I'll withdraw and re-nom in a week or two, obviously only if it's still not improved. Azealia911 talk 10:44, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply

In that case, withdrawing my nomination, no idea how to officially do that, so I guess I'll just leave it open and wait for the closing editor to see this, I'll also remove the cleanup tags, and move the article "Ignorant Art (Mixtape)" → "Ignorant Art (mixtape)" thanks for your contribution to the article.

Claims there are 81000 candidates running for 41000 seats which is patently false. Reference doesn't support article. Liz Read! Talk! 20:18, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy keep per Number 57 - Comment - Actually the reference does say that, but you have to click on this pdf [13]. It looks like it includes the seats for every single village council and district council, so I can see how that number is possible. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has a population of 28 million. I don't want to vote delete because of systemic bias though, considering the extensive numbers of articles on U.S. elections (see New Orleans mayoral election, 1866), but I don't know how the elections work in Pakistan and if this is truly notable. —Мандичка YO 😜 20:50, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy keep Local government elections like this are clearly notable given that an AfD on an article about elections for the lowest tier of local government in England resulted in a near-unanimous keep vote. However, this is more on a par with Scottish local elections, 2012 (i.e. an article dealing with local elections across a second-level subdivision), although arguably more notable given that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has a population more than five times that of Scotland). Ironically, it appears it is the deletion rationale which is "patently false" given the evidence provided by Wikimandia ;) Number 5 7 21:05, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I don't think she qualifies on WP:AUTHOR - the references are mostly in minor sources, and most are not so much reviews of her book as statements about her position on "black hair" and "going natural." (BTW, the "Amazon Bestseller" statement is that she was #1 in the hair care area of Amazon. Unfortunately, Amazon US does not have such an area that I can find, which makes this hard to verify.) The books published in the US are by "Sabi Wiri Inc" press, which I can't find any information on, other than that "Sabi Wiri which means Know your Hair in Surinamese" and I believe is her own publishing house. [19]. She might qualify on fashion and/or style, but I wouldn't know where to begin to find RS for that, especially since this is a niche area. I note also that she now resides in Brooklyn, NY, so I would expect to find more US sources if she is notable. I looked at the links provided by Baaleditor but wasn't impressed. In the article, #5 is an interview, #6 is not about her, #14 is a blog, #17 is a blog, #10 is 404. Without reliable sources, this needs to be a "delete." LaMona ( talk) 00:25, 25 May 2015 (UTC) reply
    • I completely agree with LaMona, the user has created few spam pages. All references are minor and doesn't qualify, claims to be No 1 Amazon seller is completely hoax. Page is a straightforward Salt and burn. Ireneshih ( talk) 05:44, 25 May 2015 (UTC) reply

LaMona ( talk) 20:24, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I don't know these "worlds" either but it's not too relevant, I don't think. I just look at their main page and click around to make sure it's an independent publication (ie not a blog or corporate) and search to make sure it's not a press release. Clutch magazine is a real printed magazine, as is the Harlem one (and site says it's been around 20 years). So I feel pretty comfortable with these. (I also don't agree with the assertion that Baaleditor is COI, since I would assume her own press person would have digital clippings available.) —Мандичка YO 😜 20:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply

No evidence found that the author meets any notability guidelines (e.g. WP:GNG, WP:BIO, or WP:AUTHOR) and the article is purely one-sided and POV pushing. His book Religion: The Ultimate STD? is apparently self-published by CreateSpace, and there don't seem to be enough reliable, independent sources to write a neutral article without merely summarizing what Kelly says in his non-notable book, contra to WP:PROMO. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 17:55, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply

None of those sources are what we consider reliable sources. They are user-generated or otherwise self-published. Furthermore, the quotes are trivial coverage, and in two instances ( The Advice Goddess Blog and The Smoke Signal a quote appears in the comments section. I don't doubt this person exists, nor that some people have read or even enjoyed his one book, but notability requires thorough coverage from trustworthy, impartial sources, not a namedrop from anyone with a blog, podcast, or YouTube channel. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 03:44, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • In certain cases, interviews are cited to support particular facts. However, those interviews are not sufficient to establish notability. Interviews are not considered to be neutral, third-party resources. You may find articles on WP that use interviews, and also that do not have other reliable resources, but that just means that you have found poorly sourced articles; it doesn't make lack of sources to be ok. LaMona ( talk) 21:05, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply
As a follow-up to LaMona, interviews can be used to verify elements, but do not count towards Notability because they are Primary sources. There is nothing wrong with interviews, YouTube or otherwise, provided notability has been sufficiently demonstrated from other sources, but in this case notability has not been demonstrated. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 19:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Also, regarding the interview: I find it not reassuring that The Pew has exactly one video: the interview. Hardly a reputable, reliable source, i.e. one exercising editorial control and fact-checking per WP:RS. I could interview my cat and post it to YouTube, and maybe get a couple hundred views, but that doesn't make my cat any more deserving of an article. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 19:43, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Have you read any of the relevant policies or guidelines we're discussing, for example Notability for people or more specific Notability for authors? Please suggest how a single interview from a random you tube account and scattered name-dropping on blogs (or anonymous posts in comments) demonstrates this person has met any criteria for inclusion. If you can find any reliable, impartial sources that neutrally discuss the book or author in any depth, please include them, otherwise this is pure promotion.

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG/ There are literally NO independent reliable sources about this person or his book.

  • Delete though honestly, the violation of WP:OR seems more serious here. The opening line and much of the beginning is cited directly with the Qur'an itself - a telltale sign of original research by editors who believe they've discovered something which they must inform the world of. Beyond that, the citations are actual articles and papers but they're a mish-mash of different things which seem to be placed in order to evoke some sense of notability/legitimacy. In reality, it's a premise being suggested with citations selected to push the point of view. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 03:37, 24 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article is of poor quality indeed and it needs to be cleaned for OR and other issues. However, the article should be revised, but not deleted. Ma malakat aymanukum is much discussed in the historical scholarship of various Fiqhs of Islam, as well as in the English literature ( 1, 2, p. 202 of ISBN  978-0674050594 by Harvard University Press, p. 6 of ISBN  978-0195053265 by Oxford University Press, ISBN  978-0674810839, etc). The article topic is thus notable per WP:N. The article does not meet the deletion criterion stated in WP:DEL-REASON.

@ RLoutfy: How about the nominator reasoning? Mhhossein ( talk) 13:31, 27 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • What is the article "advocating"? It is understandable that some Muslims are annoyed that this passage of the Quran is used to justify rape, but that doesn't really diminish its notability - quite the contrary. In addition to the sources brought up by RLoutfy, the phrase is mentioned in Brill's "First Encyclopaedia of Islam" [28] up towards a century ago, long before anyone in the West had heard of jihadism, so any insinuation that the interest in the passage is due to some great conspiracy against Muslisms should be disregarded.-- Anders Feder ( talk) 16:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - The article should not be deleted because there is no basis for such an action. Plus Muhammad himself had a slave who was his concubine so this is not some fictional concept.

  • Keep -- The one reliable source we have is a biography related to a deposit of her papers at Sheffield University. That source indicates that she was an associate professor at a Chinese univeristy hospital, not Sheffield University. However the fact that Sheffield thinks it worth accepting a deposit of a box of her papers suggests some notability to me. The connection to War on Want is tagged as dubious, apparently because the brief history of it on the charity's own website does not mention that. It names Victor Gollancz the publisher as its founder or initiator. However, it seems unlikely that he would have had the time to devote to the hard day-to-day work of establishing the charity. I also note that War on Want's website conveniently ignores the fact that (if I remember correctly) at one point the charity went into liquidation, as a result of having anticipated its income through borrowings. Possibly my memory is wrong. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:15, 6 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: Appears to be a violation of NPOV, in a sense: the "article" is a statement that these are the holiest or most important, and then there is a list. Either that's a hat rack to get 29 new articles made, or it's a list that simply asserts a fact that's already contained in its lede. Arguing for holiest, best, etc., is extraordinary without heavy citation. Therefore, in addition to the nominating rationale, we have the potential NPOV problem (unless there is serious citation, and then we're hit with the "you're saying what you just said" problem).

  • [36] Mindhacker: 60 Tips, Tricks, and Games to Take Your Mind to the Next Level By Ron Hale-Evans, Marty Hale-Evans
  • [37]  Coordinates of polyhedra were calculated using Great Stella [2]. In this program, there are 17 stellations (the icosahedron is not counted). Our notation, for instance SI06, means the sixth stellation in this sequence.
  • [38]  Great Software for Polyhedrons and Polytopes «Stella» and «Great Stella» These are great polyherons programs that the author intended to be the ultimate one, and it truely is a excellent program. This is probably the most comprehensive software for polyhedrons. Author is by Robert Webb.
  • [39] Magnus Wenninger, author of the introduction to Polyhedron Models for the Classroom, now uses a program called Stella to design his projects. This program provides a 3D perspective as well as the 2D view needed for construction and assembly.
  • [40]  10 am – 11 am – Polyhedra Power! – Have you heard of Stella http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php? This is a funky software program which allows you to design, print and assemble your own personal polyhedron. We will be operating Great Stella and a color printer to produce polyhedra only limited by your imagination! Come join us for fun polyhedra creation!
  • [41] The calculation of intersections of extended polyhedron faces is a tedious process to do by hand, but it can be easily done using interactive computer programs such as Stellation Applet [3] or Great Stella [4].
  • [42]  Stella is the name of a computerized polyhedron creator. Designed by Robert Webb of Australia, the program allows you to create a polyhedron on the screen and print out its net, which you can then cut out and assemble into a real-life 3D model of your original creation. The Stella software contains a built-in polyhedron library that includes all the Platonic solids, or regular polyhedrons, as well as many other shapes.
  • [43] Cylinder intersections with the program Stella 4D, Dr. Ulrich Mikloweit

Keep – Though the article could be improved, I think it is keepable in its present form. This page points out the connection to regular polytopes and the work of H. S. M. Coxeter. Our article on Great icosahedron uses diagrams generated by this software. It appears there is some overlap between what Mathematica can do and the Stella software regarding polyhedrons. ( Here is a great icosahedron as generated by Mathematica).You would think that the more popular math journals would have articles on generation of polyhedra with software, and if they don't cite Stella, they must cite some of its competitors and we would find out which ones they are. Well-known published pictures of star polyhedra, like the one of the cover of Proofs and Refutations, seem to have been made by photographing models built by hand rather than created by software. EdJohnston ( talk) 03:02, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

p.s. EdJohnston, the primary purpose of Stella software was for computing printing nets for hand-built physical models. Some of the nets are also uploaded to wikipedia, like for the harder to see Johnson solids. Tom Ruen ( talk) 03:32, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply
I don't understand this vote. Yes, polyhedra are notable things. We have articles about them. The star polyhedron on the cover of the 1976 book Proofs and Refutations was not created using this piece of software. Perhaps it was made using the methods described in the 1951 book Mathematical Models by Cundy and Rollett. Anyway, there are lots of sources, both online and in good old-fashioned books, that will allow you to draw nets that can be cut out to make whatever polyhedra you want. Surely not all of these things are also notable just because polyhedra are. Sławomir Biały ( talk) 11:16, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

This is Robert Webb, author of Stella, so I may be biased, but here are my thoughts. Regarding being an advert, I did not write the page or ask for it to be written. Robert Austin created it and Tom Ruen has also done a lot of work on it. It does not appear to have sensational language, just stating what the software does. I have made small changes now and then when something was out of date or incorrect, but tried not to get involved with the content too much. As to notability, PC Plus is not the only independent source:

  • The wiki article already includes a reference to a story about it on television, including a video of the story. Why overlook that?
  • Stella also got a write-up in Edward S. Popko's book "Divided Spheres" on pages 350-355. On Amazon you can preview some pages including 352, 354 and 355 within this range. See [44] and [45]
  • David Darling's "The Universal Book of Mathematics" also includes photos of polyhedra made using Stella software. From the acknowledgements: "Thanks especially go to ...Robert Webb (www.software3d.com) for numerous photos of his wonderful, homemade polyhedra...". See [46]
  • Matt Parker's "Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension" includes images from Stella4D and mentions me in the acknowledgements p454: "Most of the renders of 4D shapes were done using the program Stella4D developed by Robert Webb". You can see some pages in the Amazon preview including images from Stella4D, eg p215, 216. See [47]
  • An image from Stella4D also appears in Giulio Tononi's "Phi" p214 (not in the Amazon preview). See [48]
  • Article in Melbourne newspaper The Age about me and Stella and the models it can be used to produce. See [49] (alas the images in the article seem to have gone for some reason).
  • Wikipedia itself uses dozens of images from Stella in various articles about geometry.

I don't know whether simply using images created in Stella adds to wikipedia's concept of notability. If not, then the off-line references would be limited to the PC Plus article, the TV spot, and Popko's book "Divided Spheres" which reviews Stella over 6 pages. The Age article was online, but had a brief mention in the printed paper which you can see here: [50]. Someone should add these references to the wiki article maybe? Tom has already listed a bunch of online references, many of which I didn't even know about, and there are many more. RobertCWebb ( talk) 04:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: I don't want to say what the Wiktionary folks can and cannot do, but a transwiki would give them "Evergreen" and then as "comb. Everygreen document." In other words, it's not an entry there, or not at a regular dictionary. As for the strength of this usage, I know that I'm a bit of a poor judge on what's obvious, but this is a relatively new combining term (hence the article and "I've heard of it") and yet relatively self-explaining. So. . . certainly no need for an encyclopedia article, and this is a definition, and not jargon or a complex concept. (Shrug.) This may be an evergreen debate, but I'd say delete.

Article is about a very recently established political party for "the municipal elections of May 2015." WP:NONPROFIT guides that "the scope of their activities is national or international in scale" and meets GNG. Being purely an Anglophone, it's hard for me to gauge the Spanish language third-party coverage here but the very narrow geographic and political scope of the organization makes me question its notability. -- Non-Dropframe talk 21:05, 16 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Technically, Wikipedia's baseline criterion for the notability of a radio station is that it has a broadcast license from the appropriate media-regulation authority (the FCC in the United States, the CRTC in Canada, OFCOM in the UK, etc.) — any station which has that is always a valid topic for an article, but that "validity in principle" does not confer an exemption from the article having to be properly written and sourced. This article, however, is resting entirely on primary sources — and is only just barely removed from being speediable as blatant advertising (the lack of advertorial adjectives being about the only thing that keeps it from falling over the line.) And no radio station, even if it is officially eligible for an article, gets to keep that kind of article. Delete, without prejudice against recreation of a better and more properly sourced version in the future. Bearcat ( talk) 15:00, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Bearcat, what are you talking about? Having a broadcast license is not a qualification in any way. Radio stations must meet regular WP:GNG. See WP:BROADCAST —Мандичка YO 😜 16:16, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
      • I suspect you're misunderstanding my point, if you think it's in conflict with yours. I didn't say that sources didn't have to be there — in fact, I specifically said that they do have to be there. If an article is properly sourced, however, then a radio station does not have to claim any special or unique notability above and beyond the fact of having a broadcast license — the broadcast license is all it takes for the radio station to be eligible to have a properly sourced article written about it, but the quality of sourcing that can or cannot be provided is still what determines whether we actually keep or delete any particular version of that article. And this isn't properly sourced in the least, which is why I argued to delete — but if a new, better article can be written which does cite proper sourcing, then it would be eligible to keep that version. Bearcat ( talk) 16:24, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
        • Bearcat, I know what you're saying and you're not correct - the broadcast license is totally irrelevant to eligibility and irrelevant to anything relating to a Wikipedia article. Have you never heard of Category:Pirate radio stations? —Мандичка YO 😜 17:46, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
          • You're still misunderstanding (and I'm a longstanding member of WP:WPRS, actually one of the original creators of that project and one of the drafters of WP:NMEDIA, so I'm hardly somebody who needs to be educated on the finer points of a guideline I wrote in the first place.) Nothing I said above discounts the possibility of a pirate radio station also being considered notable — but that takes being able to properly source enough notability, above and beyond the mere fact of its existence, to counter the lack of a license with a "got covered enough to satisfy WP:GNG" claim. For a duly licensed radio station, however, the license itself is all the notability it takes to make the radio station eligible for an article — that article can still be deleted as an advertisement if it's written and sourced this badly, but if the article were properly sourced then the license itself would be all the notability that it takes to make the article keepable. That doesn't negate the necessity of sourcing the article properly — an article can still be deleted if it's this bad, but we just can't deem it permanently ineligible to have a better article recreated in the future. And neither does it discount the possibility of a pirate station also clearing the bar for other reasons independent of its licensing status — pirates can still qualify if there's enough sourcing to demonstrate a cultural influence beyond the mere fact of existing, and just don't get an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist. Bearcat ( talk) 17:57, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
            • "the license itself is all the notability it takes to make the radio station eligible for an article."← This does not make sense so I must not be understanding. The license is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with anything, and it's not a factor in any way, shape or form. It makes no difference toward "eligibility" for an article. If this is any kind of guideline, why is not mentioned in WP:NMEDIA (or anywhere else)? Maybe things have changed since the "old days" because there is no "eligibility" for anything. Any possible thing in the world is "eligible" if it meets GNG. —Мандичка YO 😜 18:06, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
              • Let me try this in different words, then: if an article about a duly licensed radio station is properly sourced (which, again, I said right up front that this isn't), then you cannot take it to AFD on the grounds that it would have to pass any higher notability bar beyond the fact of having a broadcast license — we do not separate licensed radio stations into distinct "notable" and "non-notable" classes on any criterion beyond their licensing status. If it's written and sourced this badly, then yes, it can absolutely be nuked and paved as a WP:NOTADVERT violation, with no prejudice and no permanent injunction against the future recreation of a properly sourced new article. (Pirate stations can still be eligible for articles if you can source a substantive claim of notability independent of their licensing status, but they're not automatically eligible to have an article just because they exist — it takes a higher volume of reliable source coverage to get a pirate into Wikipedia than it does for a licensed radio station, but neither class of radio station gets to rest on no reliable sourcing.) Again, this article is not properly sourced, and is fully deletable in this form — we're in complete agreement on that. But if the article were properly sourced, then the fact of having a broadcast license would be the only notability claim it had to make, and it would not have to demonstrate any special level of notability beyond that fact. But for the moment, I'm not sure why we're even having this discussion — even though we both expressed the same opinion on the keepability or deletability of this article, you're quibbling with something I said about how the article might become salvageable, instead of with the position that we share on the actual article that we're actually looking at? Even though, when you get right down to it, we're actually saying the same thing (i.e. reliable sourcing) about how the article might become keepable too — and so you're really just arguing with the wording I'm using to express the same thing you are? Bearcat ( talk) 18:31, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
                • I see what you're saying, however, I don't see anywhere that information is listed; ie if someone were to claim that in an AfD, where would they find that vital piece of information? It seems that that might be something that was discussed at some point, but is not in the actual guideline or any essays. As you see, it's not in WP:NMEDIA. —Мандичка YO 😜 19:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
                  • I think what Мандичка was trying to say is that the license does not give notability to an article. I wasn't able to find anything that says otherwise. Having a license does not allow an article to pass WP:GNG, at least from what I have seen. I might be missing something on the finer details of what a license does and does not entitle an article to. I was basing this AFD an the sole grounds that there was nothing specifically notable about it, not as much so the references and writing of the article. LethalFlower Talk/ Reply 03:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                    • If the article is sourced properly — which this absolutely isn't — then a radio station doesn't have to have anything "special" about it beyond the fact of having a broadcast license. The license doesn't get the station over GNG by itself if proper sourcing isn't present, but I never said that it did. Bearcat ( talk) 02:20, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                      • Ok, lets assume that the article is properly written and with quality secondary sources. I haven't been able to find where a broadcasting license alone would give it notability? Maybe im missing something, but I havent found anything on that. LethalFlower Talk/ Reply 03:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                        • WP:NMEDIA, primary criterion: A media outlet is presumed notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. In other words, as long as proper sourcing is present in the article to give it a WP:GNG pass, no media outlet — no newspaper, no radio station, no television station, etc. — actually has to make any special claim of notability above and beyond "it exists and these reliable sources prove it". See also WP:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. Bearcat ( talk) 07:45, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                          • I don't want to start posting links as which is greater than the other but WP:ORG is wikipedia policy. I know that your a lot, lot more experienced on wikipedia than I am, I'm just trying to make sure I understand what your trying to say. On WP:ORG it says that "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." and this should be deferred to over any conflict over the WP:NMEDIA or WP:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. LethalFlower Talk/ Reply 15:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                            • Nothing I said in that comment, or indeed anywhere in this entire discussion, is in any kind of conflict with that passage from WP:ORG — that passage is exactly what I've been saying the whole freaking time: if proper reliable sources are present in the article — though they aren't here, which is why I argued to delete — then the radio station does not need to make any special claim of notability beyond the fact of existing as a licensed radio station, because the sources satisfy WP:GNG and WP:ORG in and of themselves. There's no conflict between what I said and what WP:ORG says, which is why I don't understand how we've gotten so bogged down on this tangent. Bearcat ( talk) 18:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - As a contributor to this article (mainly about references) I found a note that the article is being considered for deletion. I agree that it contained portions that sounded like advertisement supposedly contributed by others. It is also true that it contained references which only mentioned the use of the software without actually providing any useful information (partially I am to blame).
Therefore, I improved the article. I edited it to remove the content that sounded like advertisement. Ten irrelevant papers were deleted. Deleting this article would be a mistake, because it describes the software which is used by many researchers in the medico-biological field, some of them are my students who actually introduced me to it. References to the remaining sources (Nature Protocols, Current Protocols in Cell Biology) are very reliable and trusted. Importantly, the article itself and the subject it describes (colocalization in fluorescence microscopy have good coverage across Wikipedia: /info/en/?search=ImageJ, /info/en/?search=Colocalization /info/en/?search=Fluorescence /info/en/?search=Fluorescence_in_the_life_sciences In my opinion, the article is a definite keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellow line987 ( talk • contribs) 15:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC) — Yellow line987 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
  • I note that many of the references are to papers cowritten by Vadim Zinchuk and/or Olga Grossenbacher, who happen to be the authors of CoLocalizer Pro.

  • The reference that you added is to a source in which the sum total of the content about this article's subject is the sentence, "MOC is implemented in image analysis software packages, such as Colocalizer Pro, Image-Pro, Imaris, and Volocity and can be implemented in ImageJ via the JACoP plugin." This is far from the kind of significant coverage needed to demonstrate notability.

  • The first of those references is to a paper written by the authors of CoLocalizer Pro, and the second mentions it once in a parenthetical aside: "Estimating colocalization requires specialized algorithms (e.g., CoLocalizer Pro software) executed by computer software." Why do you continually argue that sources are independent and have significant coverage of the subject when they obviously do not? I certainly wouldn't consider using software from anyone who had such a poor grasp of simple logic, and most people reading this will assume that you are one of or that you represent the authors of this software, so by arguing in this way you are damaging your reputation and your potential sales. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 16:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I note that you removed a {{ Failed verification}} template that I placed against a reference that claims that the source shows that this software has been evaluated, but that in fact mentions nothing whatsoever about such evaluation.

  • Keep @82.9.185.151: your inflamed demands about independent citation sources is either trolling or incompetence (or perhaps even both). If you are trying to judge an article about scientific software, you must know that there is no better way to independently evaluate, as well as endorse, it than to publish data obtained with its help in high impact factor journals. This article cites Nature and Cell, among others, as sources where reports that used Colocalizer pro software were published. This is as high as it can get with scientific publications, top of tops in science. There is no doubts that authors of the papers presented detailed protocols of procedures using this software (which can be checked in presented links and likely say a lot to specialists) and that the independent referees of cited journals thoroughly evaluated the results before publication. If you don’t understand it, you shouldn’t participate in this discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SandraEW ( talk • contribs) 08:54, 3 June 2015 (UTC) — SandraEW ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

  • Even though the post above has been struck (stricken?) I still think that there is a potentially valid point that needs to be responded to. If it was the case that this software had been widely used by researchers other than its authors to produce peer reviewed papers I would accept that we should have an article about it. The problem is that neither of the independent sources claimed to show such use actually does. Neither the Dunn et al. nor the Jensen paper even says that they used this software, but they simply mention it as an example of software that is available in this area, and the former lists it among several others. The other sources in the article are either by the authors of this software or are used to support general statements about colocalization rather than about CoLocalizer Pro. I am certainly not trolling, but will leave any judgement of my competence to others. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 18:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply

*Delete: Way, way, way too many primary sources. No evidence of notability. SilverSurfingSerpant ( talk) 13:04, 25 May 2015 (UTC) reply

"A number of secondary sources." Are these sources that you have found elsewhere? Because there are only two sources on the article right now that source to any substance of the article and even then the sources seem to just make brief mention of them in passing, not being the subjects of the source themselves. Alexa and the british library do not speak to its notability, just the fact that they exist. - Xcuref1endx ( talk) 00:19, 26 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - There is much speculation on this model, but no verifiable evidence of any aspect - specification, release date even the name is not confirmed. Some sources suggest it may be named the iPhone 7 instead of 6S. One of the Forbes refs supplied above calls it the "heavily rumored i6S" and none of the three is more than conjecture. Doubtless there will be a rush to create a WP article when Apple reveal their plans for the next model, but in my view it's too soon now. To quote WP:CRYSTALBALL:
Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content.

The latter possibly deserves a mention in iPhone6 under a heading such as "rumors about the iPhone 6c" though I am not sure. However, for the former, the lack of mention on Apple's website does not set off my alarm bells, since saying there is an imminent upgrade is likely to kill current sales; there are multiple sources out there, so I would say it definitely passes.

Searching for sources makes it clear this is a real thing (for instance, see this). Now this is probably going to be a "permatagged" (overtechnical article with little chance to ever be brought to a mortal's understanding). Tigraan ( talk) 11:34, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I don't think she qualifies on WP:AUTHOR - the references are mostly in minor sources, and most are not so much reviews of her book as statements about her position on "black hair" and "going natural." (BTW, the "Amazon Bestseller" statement is that she was #1 in the hair care area of Amazon. Unfortunately, Amazon US does not have such an area that I can find, which makes this hard to verify.) The books published in the US are by "Sabi Wiri Inc" press, which I can't find any information on, other than that "Sabi Wiri which means Know your Hair in Surinamese" and I believe is her own publishing house. [19]. She might qualify on fashion and/or style, but I wouldn't know where to begin to find RS for that, especially since this is a niche area. I note also that she now resides in Brooklyn, NY, so I would expect to find more US sources if she is notable. I looked at the links provided by Baaleditor but wasn't impressed. In the article, #5 is an interview, #6 is not about her, #14 is a blog, #17 is a blog, #10 is 404. Without reliable sources, this needs to be a "delete." LaMona ( talk) 00:25, 25 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • I don't know these "worlds" either but it's not too relevant, I don't think. I just look at their main page and click around to make sure it's an independent publication (ie not a blog or corporate) and search to make sure it's not a press release. Clutch magazine is a real printed magazine, as is the Harlem one (and site says it's been around 20 years). So I feel pretty comfortable with these. (I also don't agree with the assertion that Baaleditor is COI, since I would assume her own press person would have digital clippings available.) —Мандичка YO 😜 20:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply

No evidence found that the author meets any notability guidelines (e.g. WP:GNG, WP:BIO, or WP:AUTHOR) and the article is purely one-sided and POV pushing.

None of those sources are what we consider reliable sources. They are user-generated or otherwise self-published. Furthermore, the quotes are trivial coverage, and in two instances ( The Advice Goddess Blog and The Smoke Signal a quote appears in the comments section.

  • In certain cases, interviews are cited to support particular facts. However, those interviews are not sufficient to establish notability. Interviews are not considered to be neutral, third-party resources. You may find articles on WP that use interviews, and also that do not have other reliable resources, but that just means that you have found poorly sourced articles; it doesn't make lack of sources to be ok. LaMona ( talk) 21:05, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply
As a follow-up to LaMona, interviews can be used to verify elements, but do not count towards Notability because they are Primary sources. There is nothing wrong with interviews, YouTube or otherwise, provided notability has been sufficiently demonstrated from other sources, but in this case notability has not been demonstrated. --Animalparty-- ( talk) 19:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply
Also, regarding the interview: I find it not reassuring that The Pew has exactly one video: the interview. Hardly a reputable, reliable source, i.e. one exercising editorial control and fact-checking per WP:RS.

Have you read any of the relevant policies or guidelines we're discussing, for example Notability for people or more specific Notability for authors?

  • Delete though honestly, the violation of WP:OR seems more serious here. The opening line and much of the beginning is cited directly with the Qur'an itself - a telltale sign of original research by editors who believe they've discovered something which they must inform the world of. Beyond that, the citations are actual articles and papers but they're a mish-mash of different things which seem to be placed in order to evoke some sense of notability/legitimacy. In reality, it's a premise being suggested with citations selected to push the point of view. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 03:37, 24 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The article is of poor quality indeed and it needs to be cleaned for OR and other issues. However, the article should be revised, but not deleted.

In addition to the sources brought up by RLoutfy, the phrase is mentioned in Brill's "First Encyclopaedia of Islam" [28] up towards a century ago, long before anyone in the West had heard of jihadism, so any insinuation that the interest in the passage is due to some great conspiracy against Muslisms should be disregarded.-- Anders Feder ( talk) 16:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep -- The one reliable source we have is a biography related to a deposit of her papers at Sheffield University. That source indicates that she was an associate professor at a Chinese univeristy hospital, not Sheffield University. However the fact that Sheffield thinks it worth accepting a deposit of a box of her papers suggests some notability to me. The connection to War on Want is tagged as dubious, apparently because the brief history of it on the charity's own website does not mention that. It names Victor Gollancz the publisher as its founder or initiator. However, it seems unlikely that he would have had the time to devote to the hard day-to-day work of establishing the charity. I also note that War on Want's website conveniently ignores the fact that (if I remember correctly) at one point the charity went into liquidation, as a result of having anticipated its income through borrowings.

Either that's a hat rack to get 29 new articles made, or it's a list that simply asserts a fact that's already contained in its lede. Arguing for holiest, best, etc., is extraordinary without heavy citation. Therefore, in addition to the nominating rationale, we have the potential NPOV problem (unless there is serious citation, and then we're hit with the "you're saying what you just said" problem).

  • [36] Mindhacker: 60 Tips, Tricks, and Games to Take Your Mind to the Next Level By Ron Hale-Evans, Marty Hale-Evans
  • [37]  Coordinates of polyhedra were calculated using Great Stella [2]. In this program, there are 17 stellations (the icosahedron is not counted). Our notation, for instance SI06, means the sixth stellation in this sequence.
  • [38]  Great Software for Polyhedrons and Polytopes «Stella» and «Great Stella» These are great polyherons programs that the author intended to be the ultimate one, and it truely is a excellent program. This is probably the most comprehensive software for polyhedrons. Author is by Robert Webb.
  • [39] Magnus Wenninger, author of the introduction to Polyhedron Models for the Classroom, now uses a program called Stella to design his projects. This program provides a 3D perspective as well as the 2D view needed for construction and assembly.
  • [40]  10 am – 11 am – Polyhedra Power! – Have you heard of Stella http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php? This is a funky software program which allows you to design, print and assemble your own personal polyhedron. We will be operating Great Stella and a color printer to produce polyhedra only limited by your imagination! Come join us for fun polyhedra creation!
  • [41] The calculation of intersections of extended polyhedron faces is a tedious process to do by hand, but it can be easily done using interactive computer programs such as Stellation Applet [3] or Great Stella [4].
  • [42]  Stella is the name of a computerized polyhedron creator. Designed by Robert Webb of Australia, the program allows you to create a polyhedron on the screen and print out its net, which you can then cut out and assemble into a real-life 3D model of your original creation. The Stella software contains a built-in polyhedron library that includes all the Platonic solids, or regular polyhedrons, as well as many other shapes.
  • [43] Cylinder intersections with the program Stella 4D, Dr. Ulrich Mikloweit

Keep – Though the article could be improved, I think it is keepable in its present form. This page points out the connection to regular polytopes and the work of H. S. M. Coxeter. Our article on Great icosahedron uses diagrams generated by this software. It appears there is some overlap between what Mathematica can do and the Stella software regarding polyhedrons. ( Here is a great icosahedron as generated by Mathematica).You would think that the more popular math journals would have articles on generation of polyhedra with software, and if they don't cite Stella, they must cite some of its competitors and we would find out which ones they are. Well-known published pictures of star polyhedra, like the one of the cover of Proofs and Refutations, seem to have been made by photographing models built by hand rather than created by software. EdJohnston ( talk) 03:02, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

p.s. EdJohnston, the primary purpose of Stella software was for computing printing nets for hand-built physical models. Some of the nets are also uploaded to wikipedia, like for the harder to see Johnson solids. Tom Ruen ( talk) 03:32, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply
I don't understand this vote. Yes, polyhedra are notable things. We have articles about them. The star polyhedron on the cover of the 1976 book Proofs and Refutations was not created using this piece of software. Perhaps it was made using the methods described in the 1951 book Mathematical Models by Cundy and Rollett. Anyway, there are lots of sources, both online and in good old-fashioned books, that will allow you to draw nets that can be cut out to make whatever polyhedra you want. Surely not all of these things are also notable just because polyhedra are. Sławomir Biały ( talk) 11:16, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

This is Robert Webb, author of Stella, so I may be biased, but here are my thoughts. Regarding being an advert, I did not write the page or ask for it to be written. Robert Austin created it and Tom Ruen has also done a lot of work on it. It does not appear to have sensational language, just stating what the software does. I have made small changes now and then when something was out of date or incorrect, but tried not to get involved with the content too much. As to notability, PC Plus is not the only independent source:

  • The wiki article already includes a reference to a story about it on television, including a video of the story. Why overlook that?
  • Stella also got a write-up in Edward S. Popko's book "Divided Spheres" on pages 350-355. On Amazon you can preview some pages including 352, 354 and 355 within this range. See [44] and [45]
  • David Darling's "The Universal Book of Mathematics" also includes photos of polyhedra made using Stella software. From the acknowledgements: "Thanks especially go to ...Robert Webb (www.software3d.com) for numerous photos of his wonderful, homemade polyhedra...". See [46]
  • Matt Parker's "Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension" includes images from Stella4D and mentions me in the acknowledgements p454: "Most of the renders of 4D shapes were done using the program Stella4D developed by Robert Webb". You can see some pages in the Amazon preview including images from Stella4D, eg p215, 216. See [47]
  • An image from Stella4D also appears in Giulio Tononi's "Phi" p214 (not in the Amazon preview). See [48]
  • Article in Melbourne newspaper The Age about me and Stella and the models it can be used to produce. See [49] (alas the images in the article seem to have gone for some reason).
  • Wikipedia itself uses dozens of images from Stella in various articles about geometry.

I don't know whether simply using images created in Stella adds to wikipedia's concept of notability. If not, then the off-line references would be limited to the PC Plus article, the TV spot, and Popko's book "Divided Spheres" which reviews Stella over 6 pages. The Age article was online, but had a brief mention in the printed paper which you can see here: [50]. Someone should add these references to the wiki article maybe? Tom has already listed a bunch of online references, many of which I didn't even know about, and there are many more. RobertCWebb ( talk) 04:07, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: I don't want to say what the Wiktionary folks can and cannot do, but a transwiki would give them "Evergreen" and then as "comb. Everygreen document." In other words, it's not an entry there, or not at a regular dictionary. As for the strength of this usage, I know that I'm a bit of a poor judge on what's obvious, but this is a relatively new combining term (hence the article and "I've heard of it") and yet relatively self-explaining. So. . . certainly no need for an encyclopedia article, and this is a definition, and not jargon or a complex concept. (Shrug.) This may be an evergreen debate, but I'd say delete.

  • Technically, Wikipedia's baseline criterion for the notability of a radio station is that it has a broadcast license from the appropriate media-regulation authority (the FCC in the United States, the CRTC in Canada, OFCOM in the UK, etc.) — any station which has that is always a valid topic for an article, but that "validity in principle" does not confer an exemption from the article having to be properly written and sourced. This article, however, is resting entirely on primary sources — and is only just barely removed from being speediable as blatant advertising (the lack of advertorial adjectives being about the only thing that keeps it from falling over the line.) And no radio station, even if it is officially eligible for an article, gets to keep that kind of article. Delete, without prejudice against recreation of a better and more properly sourced version in the future. Bearcat ( talk) 15:00, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Bearcat, what are you talking about? Having a broadcast license is not a qualification in any way. Radio stations must meet regular WP:GNG. See WP:BROADCAST —Мандичка YO 😜 16:16, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
      • I suspect you're misunderstanding my point, if you think it's in conflict with yours. I didn't say that sources didn't have to be there — in fact, I specifically said that they do have to be there. If an article is properly sourced, however, then a radio station does not have to claim any special or unique notability above and beyond the fact of having a broadcast license — the broadcast license is all it takes for the radio station to be eligible to have a properly sourced article written about it, but the quality of sourcing that can or cannot be provided is still what determines whether we actually keep or delete any particular version of that article. And this isn't properly sourced in the least, which is why I argued to delete — but if a new, better article can be written which does cite proper sourcing, then it would be eligible to keep that version. Bearcat ( talk) 16:24, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
        • Bearcat, I know what you're saying and you're not correct - the broadcast license is totally irrelevant to eligibility and irrelevant to anything relating to a Wikipedia article. Have you never heard of Category:Pirate radio stations? —Мандичка YO 😜 17:46, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
          • You're still misunderstanding (and I'm a longstanding member of WP:WPRS, actually one of the original creators of that project and one of the drafters of WP:NMEDIA, so I'm hardly somebody who needs to be educated on the finer points of a guideline I wrote in the first place.) Nothing I said above discounts the possibility of a pirate radio station also being considered notable — but that takes being able to properly source enough notability, above and beyond the mere fact of its existence, to counter the lack of a license with a "got covered enough to satisfy WP:GNG" claim. For a duly licensed radio station, however, the license itself is all the notability it takes to make the radio station eligible for an article — that article can still be deleted as an advertisement if it's written and sourced this badly, but if the article were properly sourced then the license itself would be all the notability that it takes to make the article keepable. That doesn't negate the necessity of sourcing the article properly — an article can still be deleted if it's this bad, but we just can't deem it permanently ineligible to have a better article recreated in the future. And neither does it discount the possibility of a pirate station also clearing the bar for other reasons independent of its licensing status — pirates can still qualify if there's enough sourcing to demonstrate a cultural influence beyond the mere fact of existing, and just don't get an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist. Bearcat ( talk) 17:57, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
            • "the license itself is all the notability it takes to make the radio station eligible for an article."← This does not make sense so I must not be understanding. The license is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with anything, and it's not a factor in any way, shape or form. It makes no difference toward "eligibility" for an article. If this is any kind of guideline, why is not mentioned in WP:NMEDIA (or anywhere else)? Maybe things have changed since the "old days" because there is no "eligibility" for anything. Any possible thing in the world is "eligible" if it meets GNG. —Мандичка YO 😜 18:06, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
              • Let me try this in different words, then: if an article about a duly licensed radio station is properly sourced (which, again, I said right up front that this isn't), then you cannot take it to AFD on the grounds that it would have to pass any higher notability bar beyond the fact of having a broadcast license — we do not separate licensed radio stations into distinct "notable" and "non-notable" classes on any criterion beyond their licensing status. If it's written and sourced this badly, then yes, it can absolutely be nuked and paved as a WP:NOTADVERT violation, with no prejudice and no permanent injunction against the future recreation of a properly sourced new article. (Pirate stations can still be eligible for articles if you can source a substantive claim of notability independent of their licensing status, but they're not automatically eligible to have an article just because they exist — it takes a higher volume of reliable source coverage to get a pirate into Wikipedia than it does for a licensed radio station, but neither class of radio station gets to rest on no reliable sourcing.) Again, this article is not properly sourced, and is fully deletable in this form — we're in complete agreement on that. But if the article were properly sourced, then the fact of having a broadcast license would be the only notability claim it had to make, and it would not have to demonstrate any special level of notability beyond that fact. But for the moment, I'm not sure why we're even having this discussion — even though we both expressed the same opinion on the keepability or deletability of this article, you're quibbling with something I said about how the article might become salvageable, instead of with the position that we share on the actual article that we're actually looking at? Even though, when you get right down to it, we're actually saying the same thing (i.e. reliable sourcing) about how the article might become keepable too — and so you're really just arguing with the wording I'm using to express the same thing you are? Bearcat ( talk) 18:31, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
                • I see what you're saying, however, I don't see anywhere that information is listed; ie if someone were to claim that in an AfD, where would they find that vital piece of information? It seems that that might be something that was discussed at some point, but is not in the actual guideline or any essays. As you see, it's not in WP:NMEDIA. —Мандичка YO 😜 19:20, 31 May 2015 (UTC) reply
                  • I think what Мандичка was trying to say is that the license does not give notability to an article. I wasn't able to find anything that says otherwise. Having a license does not allow an article to pass WP:GNG, at least from what I have seen. I might be missing something on the finer details of what a license does and does not entitle an article to. I was basing this AFD an the sole grounds that there was nothing specifically notable about it, not as much so the references and writing of the article. LethalFlower Talk/ Reply 03:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                    • If the article is sourced properly — which this absolutely isn't — then a radio station doesn't have to have anything "special" about it beyond the fact of having a broadcast license. The license doesn't get the station over GNG by itself if proper sourcing isn't present, but I never said that it did. Bearcat ( talk) 02:20, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                      • Ok, lets assume that the article is properly written and with quality secondary sources. I haven't been able to find where a broadcasting license alone would give it notability? Maybe im missing something, but I havent found anything on that. LethalFlower Talk/ Reply 03:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                        • WP:NMEDIA, primary criterion: A media outlet is presumed notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. In other words, as long as proper sourcing is present in the article to give it a WP:GNG pass, no media outlet — no newspaper, no radio station, no television station, etc. — actually has to make any special claim of notability above and beyond "it exists and these reliable sources prove it". See also WP:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. Bearcat ( talk) 07:45, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                          • I don't want to start posting links as which is greater than the other but WP:ORG is wikipedia policy. I know that your a lot, lot more experienced on wikipedia than I am, I'm just trying to make sure I understand what your trying to say. On WP:ORG it says that "A company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject. A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization." and this should be deferred to over any conflict over the WP:NMEDIA or WP:OUTCOMES#Broadcast media. LethalFlower Talk/ Reply 15:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
                            • Nothing I said in that comment, or indeed anywhere in this entire discussion, is in any kind of conflict with that passage from WP:ORG — that passage is exactly what I've been saying the whole freaking time: if proper reliable sources are present in the article — though they aren't here, which is why I argued to delete — then the radio station does not need to make any special claim of notability beyond the fact of existing as a licensed radio station, because the sources satisfy WP:GNG and WP:ORG in and of themselves. There's no conflict between what I said and what WP:ORG says, which is why I don't understand how we've gotten so bogged down on this tangent. Bearcat ( talk) 18:22, 5 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - As a contributor to this article (mainly about references) I found a note that the article is being considered for deletion. I agree that it contained portions that sounded like advertisement supposedly contributed by others. It is also true that it contained references which only mentioned the use of the software without actually providing any useful information (partially I am to blame).
Therefore, I improved the article. I edited it to remove the content that sounded like advertisement. Ten irrelevant papers were deleted. Deleting this article would be a mistake, because it describes the software which is used by many researchers in the medico-biological field, some of them are my students who actually introduced me to it. References to the remaining sources (Nature Protocols, Current Protocols in Cell Biology) are very reliable and trusted. Importantly, the article itself and the subject it describes (colocalization in fluorescence microscopy have good coverage across Wikipedia: /info/en/?search=ImageJ, /info/en/?search=Colocalization /info/en/?search=Fluorescence /info/en/?search=Fluorescence_in_the_life_sciences In my opinion, the article is a definite keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellow line987 ( talk • contribs) 15:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC) — Yellow line987 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
  • I note that many of the references are to papers cowritten by Vadim Zinchuk and/or Olga Grossenbacher, who happen to be the authors of CoLocalizer Pro. To demonstrate notability we need independent coverage of the software itself, not just of results that were obtained with the help of the software. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 13:22, 28 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • The reference that you added is to a source in which the sum total of the content about this article's subject is the sentence, "MOC is implemented in image analysis software packages, such as Colocalizer Pro, Image-Pro, Imaris, and Volocity and can be implemented in ImageJ via the JACoP plugin." This is far from the kind of significant coverage needed to demonstrate notability. Once again, we need independent reliable sources that actually say something significant about this software, rather than mentioning it along with three others in a single sentence. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 22:14, 29 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. I have looked for independent reliable sources that have significant coverage of this topic and come up blank and, more importantly, Yellow line987, who seems to know something about this field, has also been unable to offer any such sources. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 22:14, 29 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Nothing spammy about it, OK written and probably has a dedicated readership. The problem was that some contributors probably trying to get some publicity for their published papers added them to the reference list. Just deleted references about use without clear indication of functionality applications. Good thing about this article is that described software, unlike many other scientific commercial packages, is available for free evaluation. Added a sentence that software can be evaluated freely. “The software is available for free evaluation”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adodedudid ( talk • contribs) 07:47, 30 May 2015 (UTC) — Adodedudid ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
  • It seems that I have to repeat myself yet again. To show notability we need independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this software. A bare acknowledgement that it exists or was used for a piece of research is not significant coverage. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 09:56, 30 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • The first of those references is to a paper written by the authors of CoLocalizer Pro, and the second mentions it once in a parenthetical aside: "Estimating colocalization requires specialized algorithms (e.g., CoLocalizer Pro software) executed by computer software." Why do you continually argue that sources are independent and have significant coverage of the subject when they obviously do not? I certainly wouldn't consider using software from anyone who had such a poor grasp of simple logic, and most people reading this will assume that you are one of or that you represent the authors of this software, so by arguing in this way you are damaging your reputation and your potential sales. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 16:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I note that you removed a {{ Failed verification}} template that I placed against a reference that claims that the source shows that this software has been evaluated, but that in fact mentions nothing whatsoever about such evaluation. Such actions will lead to people respecting you even less than they may do already on the basis of your conduct in this discussion. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 18:11, 1 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep @82.9.185.151: your inflamed demands about independent citation sources is either trolling or incompetence (or perhaps even both). If you are trying to judge an article about scientific software, you must know that there is no better way to independently evaluate, as well as endorse, it than to publish data obtained with its help in high impact factor journals. This article cites Nature and Cell, among others, as sources where reports that used Colocalizer pro software were published. This is as high as it can get with scientific publications, top of tops in science. There is no doubts that authors of the papers presented detailed protocols of procedures using this software (which can be checked in presented links and likely say a lot to specialists) and that the independent referees of cited journals thoroughly evaluated the results before publication. If you don’t understand it, you shouldn’t participate in this discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SandraEW ( talk • contribs) 08:54, 3 June 2015 (UTC) — SandraEW ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
  • Striking vote by yet another sock.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 14:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Even though the post above has been struck (stricken?) I still think that there is a potentially valid point that needs to be responded to. If it was the case that this software had been widely used by researchers other than its authors to produce peer reviewed papers I would accept that we should have an article about it. The problem is that neither of the independent sources claimed to show such use actually does. Neither the Dunn et al. nor the Jensen paper even says that they used this software, but they simply mention it as an example of software that is available in this area, and the former lists it among several others. The other sources in the article are either by the authors of this software or are used to support general statements about colocalization rather than about CoLocalizer Pro. I am certainly not trolling, but will leave any judgement of my competence to others. 82.9.185.151 ( talk) 18:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per lack of third-party refs (independent in-depth review articles) to demonstrate notability. Attempts to prove notability via a list of cites to those who use this product, where the ref essentially just states that this product was used, seem like a form of WP:OR akin to google hit-counting (as opposed to an independent review that says that it is widely used or novel/important/popular in its genre--similar to Wikipedia:Notability (software)).

"A number of secondary sources." Are these sources that you have found elsewhere? Because there are only two sources on the article right now that source to any substance of the article and even then the sources seem to just make brief mention of them in passing, not being the subjects of the source themselves.

  • Comment - There is much speculation on this model, but no verifiable evidence of any aspect - specification, release date even the name is not confirmed. Some sources suggest it may be named the iPhone 7 instead of 6S. One of the Forbes refs supplied above calls it the "heavily rumored i6S" and none of the three is more than conjecture. Doubtless there will be a rush to create a WP article when Apple reveal their plans for the next model, but in my view it's too soon now. To quote WP:CRYSTALBALL:
Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content.

The latter possibly deserves a mention in iPhone6 under a heading such as "rumors about the iPhone 6c" though I am not sure. However, for the former, the lack of mention on Apple's website does not set off my alarm bells, since saying there is an imminent upgrade is likely to kill current sales; there are multiple sources out there, so I would say it definitely passes.
