This is a poorly sourced Biography of a Living Person. This article is full of false information, and, for that reason, the subject has personally asked for this article to be removed. For example, two different birth years are stated, and both are incorrect. Place of birth and the name of the subject's company are also incorrect. Many statements are lacking in sources or are supported by unverifiable/unreliable sources. Source 3 is an example of an unverifiable and unreliable source, as it gives false information. I would suggest that this article be removed until a reliable replacement article can be produced, as it is damaging to the reputation of the subject Lizardbb ( talk) 22:03, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
The book notes:
Lean Joy Zell is the kind of person who would succeed running a megacorporation, chairing a history department at an Ivy League college, or holding a Cabinet post. Her intelligence and confident élan radiate from her like a high-tension electrical line. In her role as manager of the Liberty Acorn International Fund, she has the job of finding ways to invest more than $2 billion across the world in small- and mid-cap companies. Like John Rogers and Bill Miller, she is largely a value player, but she focuses on overseas companies that have market capitalizations under $5 billion. She spends most of her time traveling between the countries where she has the top-five allocations: the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, and Canada. She has more frequent-flyer miles than time to spend them.
Taut with short hair and wire-rimmed glasses, Leah Zell takes her time to compose her sentences as if everyone one of them is to be written out in elegant prose. With continents to consider, she does the mental calculus of finding bargains across different economies, reading prospectuses in different languages, diversifying across several industries, and dealing with fluctuations of several currencies. Holding a Ph.D. from Harvard in modern European social and economic history, she's an unabashed expert on how Europe and Japan rebuilt after World War II. With that unique perspective, she knows the landscape with an academic, disciplined sense of history. Although she is brimming with investment ideas, Zell doesn't have to go far to discuss investing. Her husband and partner, Ralph Wanger, is the revered manager of the Liberty Acorn Fund, a small-cap domestic fund. Her brother, Sam Zell, is the legendary real estate mogul also known as "the grave dancer" for his prowess in finding properties at fire-sale prices.
Balance is a powerful theme in Zell's work. Her Harvard dissertation concentrated on finding a workable balance of economic growth and stability in the postwar era. As a value investor, she is consantly seeking the ideal medium between price and the intrinsic value of a company. Due to the objective of her fund, she has to look for that delicate combination outside the sphere of powerful international companies like Nestlé, Philips, Daimler, and Nokia. Instead, she focuses her research on lesser-known companies like the Serco Group, Li & Fung, Autogrill, and Capita Group. Her fund contains no more than 20 percent of its holdings in any one industry; it's diversifed across business services, consumer goods/services, financial services, broadcasting/media, and industrials.
The book notes:
Leah Zell aims small. She has laser focus, both in management and in her favorite pastime, dual slalom skiing, in which success rests on picking a course through the fall line and executing with precision. At her company, Lizard Investors, she exercises what she calls "ruthless elimination" of stocks to create a top-performing portfolio of international small-cap stocks. Zell embodies keen concentration and determination.
...
Originally, Zell studied European history at Harvard, where she earned her PhD. Then she discovered a love for getting more immediate feedback and doing entrpreneurial research, so she changed careers and took a job on Wall Street. Her famous sibling, Sam Zell, helped her make the decision. Sam is known in the business community as the "grave dancer," and was described in an October 2013 article in Forbes as a "72-year-old man with a penchant for both gold chains and profanity, as a corporate barbarian who callously ransacked great journalistic institutions in a greedy pursuit of short-term profit." In contrast, Forbes dubbed Leah "the queen of small caps" in 2002. Despite these different depictions, in many ways Sam and Leah are seeking the same thing: great entrepreneurs and companies they can buy at a discount and see grow over the long term.
Zell uses her academic background to deeply research international small cap stocks. After leaving the investment banking world of Lehman Brothers in 1984, she joined the staff of money manager Ralph Wanger. From 1992 to 2003, Zell served as lead portfolio manager for Wanger Asset Management's Acorn International Fund, and through 2005 as lead manager for Wanger Small European Companies Fund. Zell spent five years in the top 10 percent of her asset management peers during her tenure as the manager for Acorn International before Zell and Wanger sold the firm in 2003. It is now a subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial under the Colombia brand.
Zell is recognized as a pioneer in international small-cap investing, and in 2008, she set up her own shop. As founder and principal of Lizard Investors and the portfolio manager of Lizard International Fund, Zell and her team gather enormous amounts of information...

The article begins:
The article further notes:When University of Akron soccer coach Jared Embick got a call to come see Richie Laryea again in December, 2013, neither could imagine that the midfielder would be enrolling at UA three weeks later.
There has been a little bit of a frenzied tone to Laryea’s career ever since. A sophomore, Laryea is the Zips’ second-leading scorer and always seems to be part of the action, but his daring play and accompanying temper has also gotten him in trouble.
Embick won’t dispute Laryea’s value. Embick remembers seeing Laryea when he was a sophomore at Dante Aligheri Academy in Toronto and how much he’d changed two years later.
“As a sophomore, he was OK,” Embick said of Laryea, a member of Canada’s under-18 national team. “When he became a senior his coaches called me again and said, ‘He’s really developed. He had a school, it kind of fell through. We think he’s as good or better than Cyle Larin.’ ” Larin, from Brampton, Ontario, was drafted No. 1 overall by Orlando City SC and was named Major League Soccer’s rookie of the year in 2015.
Laryea’s club coaches for Sigma FC invited Embick to a showcase in December.
...
Laryea has never played anything but soccer since his dad introduced him to the game. He said he didn’t know much then and realizes he has much to learn now.
“I played in running shoes and my dad’s long church socks,” Laryea said of his first team experience. “I was 6 years old, so the socks were almost as tall as I was. Ever since then I knew that’s what I wanted to do.”
The article notes:
On Thursday, the Canadian spotlight shines on midfielder Richie Laryea at the MLS SuperDraft. The five-foot-nine, 151-pound sophomore from the University of Akron is expected to be a top-10 pick at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Laryea, who like Larin grew up playing club soccer in the Toronto area for Sigma FC, is coming off a breakthrough season that saw him score a team-high 11 goals and add seven assists.
Tied for fourth over 30 metres (3.99 seconds) at the MLS Combine, Laryea has the pace and vision to spot a teammate or get himself into a goal-scoring position. The 21-year-old has a nose for being in the right place at the right time.
The article notes:
Orlando City added some midfield depth with its first pick in the MLS SuperDraft on Thursday.
The Lions selected Akron midfielder Richie Laryea, a Generation Adidas signee who adds depth across multiple spots in the midfield. Laryea, a Canadian international prospect, is best friends with Orlando City forward Cyle Larin.
...
Laryea can play in multiple spots, Orlando City coach Adrian Heath said.
"We just think his upside's enormous," Heath said. "We've watched him very, very closely and obviously the fact that he's big friends with Cyle we've known about him a long time. ... Let's just hope he has the impact Cyle's had, if he does it'll be a very good first pick for us."
Laryea had 11 goals with seven assists at Akron last season and will look to find a place in a midfield that features Kaká, Darwin Cerén, Cristian Higuita, Carlos Rivas and Kevin Molino.

WP:NOTABLE. (See
discussion at Wikiproject Opera for background). The article cites a few recordings of individual songs or arias, mostly where Carneri is singing in duet with another. None of the others by the way seem to be notable or have articles. And the citations are just - and purely - that; listings with out any comment on the quality, value or significance of the recordings. The article gives no indication of Carneri ever having sung a major (or even minor) role at any opera house. Criterion 5 of
WP:MUSICBIO, which has been cited in favour of the article in the linked discussion, states "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." It is more than arguable that Carneri does not meet this criterion (certainly no "albums".) (And if we accept that Carneri is notable then anyone who made any recording on (e.g.) Zonophone is notable - this is certainly not the intention of the criterion cited). Carneri's life and death are completely without sources or citations. The long list of (apparenlty) newspaper clippings without any insight or reference as to their contents, and yet listed as 'references', is useless and pointless in a WP article and does not support notability.

The result was speedy delete as a hoax. This was tagged as an A7, but I've deleted it as a hoax given the situation. As stated below, a search brought up nothing to show that any of the claims in the article are legitimate. I have yet to hear back from Time Warner, but if CNNYAW was legitimate there would be record of them on their official website and the CNNYAW site wouldn't be hosted on WordPress. The article itself gave conflicting claims of when the site was established and it's unusual that a CNN affiliate would not have a listing or some sort of attention somewhere, especially if they are airing on CNN International. There was an award listed but from what I can see, the award does not exist. While there is a CNNYAW website, this appears to be a hoax in the way it's described here and I have to assume that they are an unaffiliated site that is trying to seem more official by claiming an association that they do not have. Now even if the site is officially vetted by CNN and part of Time Warner, there is no coverage out there to show that it would be notable enough to merit its own page. If there is evidence found that would prove the claims are true (and this would have to be official, via CNN or Time Warner's website), at most this would warrant a brief mention on the main CNN page but again, there's more evidence out there to show that it's not affiliated rather than it is.

This is a poorly sourced Biography of a Living Person. This article is full of false information, and, for that reason, the subject has personally asked for this article to be removed. For example, two different birth years are stated, and both are incorrect. Place of birth and the name of the subject's company are also incorrect. Many statements are lacking in sources or are supported by unverifiable/unreliable sources. Source 3 is an example of an unverifiable and unreliable source, as it gives false information. I would suggest that this article be removed until a reliable replacement article can be produced, as it is damaging to the reputation of the subject Lizardbb ( talk) 22:03, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
The book notes:
Lean Joy Zell is the kind of person who would succeed running a megacorporation, chairing a history department at an Ivy League college, or holding a Cabinet post. Her intelligence and confident élan radiate from her like a high-tension electrical line. In her role as manager of the Liberty Acorn International Fund, she has the job of finding ways to invest more than $2 billion across the world in small- and mid-cap companies. Like John Rogers and Bill Miller, she is largely a value player, but she focuses on overseas companies that have market capitalizations under $5 billion. She spends most of her time traveling between the countries where she has the top-five allocations: the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, and Canada. She has more frequent-flyer miles than time to spend them.
Taut with short hair and wire-rimmed glasses, Leah Zell takes her time to compose her sentences as if everyone one of them is to be written out in elegant prose. With continents to consider, she does the mental calculus of finding bargains across different economies, reading prospectuses in different languages, diversifying across several industries, and dealing with fluctuations of several currencies. Holding a Ph.D. from Harvard in modern European social and economic history, she's an unabashed expert on how Europe and Japan rebuilt after World War II. With that unique perspective, she knows the landscape with an academic, disciplined sense of history. Although she is brimming with investment ideas, Zell doesn't have to go far to discuss investing. Her husband and partner, Ralph Wanger, is the revered manager of the Liberty Acorn Fund, a small-cap domestic fund. Her brother, Sam Zell, is the legendary real estate mogul also known as "the grave dancer" for his prowess in finding properties at fire-sale prices.
Balance is a powerful theme in Zell's work. Her Harvard dissertation concentrated on finding a workable balance of economic growth and stability in the postwar era. As a value investor, she is consantly seeking the ideal medium between price and the intrinsic value of a company. Due to the objective of her fund, she has to look for that delicate combination outside the sphere of powerful international companies like Nestlé, Philips, Daimler, and Nokia. Instead, she focuses her research on lesser-known companies like the Serco Group, Li & Fung, Autogrill, and Capita Group. Her fund contains no more than 20 percent of its holdings in any one industry; it's diversifed across business services, consumer goods/services, financial services, broadcasting/media, and industrials.
The book notes:
Leah Zell aims small. She has laser focus, both in management and in her favorite pastime, dual slalom skiing, in which success rests on picking a course through the fall line and executing with precision. At her company, Lizard Investors, she exercises what she calls "ruthless elimination" of stocks to create a top-performing portfolio of international small-cap stocks. Zell embodies keen concentration and determination.
...
Originally, Zell studied European history at Harvard, where she earned her PhD. Then she discovered a love for getting more immediate feedback and doing entrpreneurial research, so she changed careers and took a job on Wall Street. Her famous sibling, Sam Zell, helped her make the decision. Sam is known in the business community as the "grave dancer," and was described in an October 2013 article in Forbes as a "72-year-old man with a penchant for both gold chains and profanity, as a corporate barbarian who callously ransacked great journalistic institutions in a greedy pursuit of short-term profit." In contrast, Forbes dubbed Leah "the queen of small caps" in 2002. Despite these different depictions, in many ways Sam and Leah are seeking the same thing: great entrepreneurs and companies they can buy at a discount and see grow over the long term.
Zell uses her academic background to deeply research international small cap stocks. After leaving the investment banking world of Lehman Brothers in 1984, she joined the staff of money manager Ralph Wanger. From 1992 to 2003, Zell served as lead portfolio manager for Wanger Asset Management's Acorn International Fund, and through 2005 as lead manager for Wanger Small European Companies Fund. Zell spent five years in the top 10 percent of her asset management peers during her tenure as the manager for Acorn International before Zell and Wanger sold the firm in 2003. It is now a subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial under the Colombia brand.
Zell is recognized as a pioneer in international small-cap investing, and in 2008, she set up her own shop. As founder and principal of Lizard Investors and the portfolio manager of Lizard International Fund, Zell and her team gather enormous amounts of information...

It appears that when this article was originally created by a well-intending user in 2006, it was unreferenced and written as a narrative with no clear sourcing. Almost a decade later, the article either still lacks sourcing for essential points contained herein, some of which have remained unsourced for years, or contains sourced SYNTHESIS compiled in a way that formulates conclusions which may or may not have been intended by the original authors.

The article begins:
The article further notes:When University of Akron soccer coach Jared Embick got a call to come see Richie Laryea again in December, 2013, neither could imagine that the midfielder would be enrolling at UA three weeks later.
There has been a little bit of a frenzied tone to Laryea’s career ever since. A sophomore, Laryea is the Zips’ second-leading scorer and always seems to be part of the action, but his daring play and accompanying temper has also gotten him in trouble.
Embick won’t dispute Laryea’s value. Embick remembers seeing Laryea when he was a sophomore at Dante Aligheri Academy in Toronto and how much he’d changed two years later.
“As a sophomore, he was OK,” Embick said of Laryea, a member of Canada’s under-18 national team. “When he became a senior his coaches called me again and said, ‘He’s really developed. He had a school, it kind of fell through. We think he’s as good or better than Cyle Larin.’ ” Larin, from Brampton, Ontario, was drafted No. 1 overall by Orlando City SC and was named Major League Soccer’s rookie of the year in 2015.
Laryea’s club coaches for Sigma FC invited Embick to a showcase in December.
...
Laryea has never played anything but soccer since his dad introduced him to the game. He said he didn’t know much then and realizes he has much to learn now.
“I played in running shoes and my dad’s long church socks,” Laryea said of his first team experience. “I was 6 years old, so the socks were almost as tall as I was. Ever since then I knew that’s what I wanted to do.”
The article notes:
On Thursday, the Canadian spotlight shines on midfielder Richie Laryea at the MLS SuperDraft. The five-foot-nine, 151-pound sophomore from the University of Akron is expected to be a top-10 pick at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Laryea, who like Larin grew up playing club soccer in the Toronto area for Sigma FC, is coming off a breakthrough season that saw him score a team-high 11 goals and add seven assists.
Tied for fourth over 30 metres (3.99 seconds) at the MLS Combine, Laryea has the pace and vision to spot a teammate or get himself into a goal-scoring position. The 21-year-old has a nose for being in the right place at the right time.
The article notes:
Orlando City added some midfield depth with its first pick in the MLS SuperDraft on Thursday.
The Lions selected Akron midfielder Richie Laryea, a Generation Adidas signee who adds depth across multiple spots in the midfield. Laryea, a Canadian international prospect, is best friends with Orlando City forward Cyle Larin.
...
Laryea can play in multiple spots, Orlando City coach Adrian Heath said.
"We just think his upside's enormous," Heath said. "We've watched him very, very closely and obviously the fact that he's big friends with Cyle we've known about him a long time. ... Let's just hope he has the impact Cyle's had, if he does it'll be a very good first pick for us."
Laryea had 11 goals with seven assists at Akron last season and will look to find a place in a midfield that features Kaká, Darwin Cerén, Cristian Higuita, Carlos Rivas and Kevin Molino.

- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

Can I also include Jeanette Aw on screen and stage in this nomination?
These two articles were created by a SPA - I suspect Jeanette Aw's PR team. The content was unnecessarily spun off from Jeanette Aw for promotional purposes. Likewise the SPA and numerous IP addresses have butchered the Jeanette Aw article such that it reads entirely like a fluffy PR piece. Citobun ( talk) 12:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

WP:NOTABLE. (See
discussion at Wikiproject Opera for background). The article cites a few recordings of individual songs or arias, mostly where Carneri is singing in duet with another. None of the others by the way seem to be notable or have articles. And the citations are just - and purely - that; listings with out any comment on the quality, value or significance of the recordings. The article gives no indication of Carneri ever having sung a major (or even minor) role at any opera house. Criterion 5 of
WP:MUSICBIO, which has been cited in favour of the article in the linked discussion, states "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." It is more than arguable that Carneri does not meet this criterion (certainly no "albums".) (And if we accept that Carneri is notable then anyone who made any recording on (e.g.) Zonophone is notable - this is certainly not the intention of the criterion cited). Carneri's life and death are completely without sources or citations. The long list of (apparenlty) newspaper clippings without any insight or reference as to their contents, and yet listed as 'references', is useless and pointless in a WP article and does not support notability.

Delete - agree with Smerus. Maybe an argument could be made based on historicism that *any* recording artist of the acoustical period (1895-1925) is notable, but until that argument is made, I recommend delete. - kosboot ( talk) 13:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep - I found a blog that cites these sources:
Marienbader Tagblatt June 10, 1898, June 10, 1898 Pilsner Tagblatt, January 20, 1905February 3, 1905 and March 2, 1904, October 3, 1903 Fremden Blatt Vienna, November 8, 1899April 17, 1906 and August 1, 1897; Deutches volksblattapril 9, 1907; Westungaische grembote July 17, 1898 Egerer Zeitung June 25, 1898 and March 11, 19051907 Oftauer Zeitung January 12, 1899 Neuie Freie Presse, Vienna, July 11, 1898, September 2, 1898, February 9, 1898, December 12, 1903, October 14, 1905.

So plenty of notability there. I just have to get my hands on some of this, and I will add it to the article. -- Ravpapa ( talk) 16:54, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Comment - leaning keep because she seems to have had a notable recording career, at the very least. However, there aren't any sources verifying the biographical details. How do we know she died in the concentration camp? 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 17:33, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Comment. I now find the bulk of the article seems taken verbatim from this blog, which is dated November 20 2015 (before appearance of article on WP). Therefore WP:COPYVIO needs to be considered.-- Smerus ( talk) 20:07, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Comment The copyvio that Smerus noted needs to be rectified - blanking the page if necessary. Barring the copyvio issue, I don't advocate deleting the article, though. The newspaper sources could very well have significant coverage. Since the article is using those to support its notability, can we confirm what type of coverage, routine or significant, those clippings give>?-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 21:55, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Keep. Significant news coverage for its era and recordings released by major labels. Plus, the article creator is willing to provide more sources. Neodop ( talk) 03:40, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

The result was speedy delete as a hoax. This was tagged as an A7, but I've deleted it as a hoax given the situation. As stated below, a search brought up nothing to show that any of the claims in the article are legitimate. I have yet to hear back from Time Warner, but if CNNYAW was legitimate there would be record of them on their official website and the CNNYAW site wouldn't be hosted on WordPress. The article itself gave conflicting claims of when the site was established and it's unusual that a CNN affiliate would not have a listing or some sort of attention somewhere, especially if they are airing on CNN International. There was an award listed but from what I can see, the award does not exist. While there is a CNNYAW website, this appears to be a hoax in the way it's described here and I have to assume that they are an unaffiliated site that is trying to seem more official by claiming an association that they do not have. Now even if the site is officially vetted by CNN and part of Time Warner, there is no coverage out there to show that it would be notable enough to merit its own page. If there is evidence found that would prove the claims are true (and this would have to be official, via CNN or Time Warner's website), at most this would warrant a brief mention on the main CNN page but again, there's more evidence out there to show that it's not affiliated rather than it is.

This article has been created recently by a now blocked sockmaster (not at the time of creation), but I felt AfD was better than CSD in case it was actually notable. However, I can not see it passing WP:GNG or WP:NBASKETBALL and there is no source supports the claim of playing for national team. Also this article is very poorly written and only a list of stats, even though that is no good reason for deletion. Qed237 (talk) 12:12, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
