A homoeopath and Hindi writer who translated books from Sanskrit. The article talks mostly about his personal life, and its single reference is a website that makes no mention of him. I've only been able to verify that he is a registered homoeopath (as of 2013) [1]. I don't see any trace of his literary activities. A search for Adya Prasad Chaturvedi returns no results on google news or google books. A normal google search returns five pages of results, which are either wikipedia mirrors or pages about other people with this name. No google results for what I presume is the Hindi spelling आद्य प्रसाद चतुर्वेदी: [2] [3] [4]. The article claims his penname is Jay Gurudev but I haven't searched for it as it's way too generic.

• Note Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but the article was created, reviewed and edited by socks of a single user, who was recently banned for using multiple accounts to circumvent WP:NPP. So it's very likely the article's creator wasn't himself convinced the subject would pass our notability guidelines. Uanfala ( talk) 21:35, 18 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment I've also tried a search for his pen name Jai Gurudev but the results are swamped with hits about Jai Gurudev, a different person. Trying a more specific search in Hindi for his name (either real or penname) and either of the names of his two poems given in the article returns 9 results [5], none of which have any relevance at all. Now, it's certainly odd for such an eminent contemporary writer (as the article claims) to have left no online trace whatsoever of his works. Uanfala ( talk) 07:52, 25 July 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete Article fails to establish notability of subject. It's single source is in Hindi and I cannot evaluate its merit. A Google search mostly reveals mirrors or unrelated subjects. Finally, some of the phrasing in this article ("commanded great respect", "famous") sounds more promotional than informative and these phrases are completely unsourced.

Another long-standing music article with notability tags, this one since 2014. The band played Glastonbury, but many do (there's tons and tons of stages every year), and although they've released a number of albums and singles it's not clear how much coverage they received. They only released one album on Wall of Sound - a remixes release doesn't really count as a separate album - so they don't meet the two album criteria either.

• Delete  Fails WP:DEL8.  Just a general comment, contractors don't seem to be of much interest to the world at large.  This one is not listed with investing.businessweek.com, which in my experience is a usually a good indicator of Wikipedia notability.  There is another company AOC Solutions, also in Chantilly, VA, but which has different officers and business description (which is listed on investing.businessweek.com).  There seems to be a discrepancy in when the firm started; as bloomberg, buzzfile.com, and manta say it was founded in 2007; while the company's website is saying 1983.  I checked Google books, Google news, and the first two pages of Google web, and while finding things that show this is an established firm with 30 employees, nothing to indicate Wikipedia notability, nor any reason to think that there would be a redirect target.  I also searched for "AOC Key Solutions" within Wikipedia and checked the "What links here" without finding any redirect targets.  Unscintillating ( talk) 04:46, 25 July 2016 (UTC) reply
• Comment - As per comment above, this AOC Key Solutions, and the other one mentioned (also located in Chantilly VA) are related companies. The article needs to clarify this further (branches, founding dates, related organisations, etc.), but there is no doubt this is a notable organisation (as suggested above). Moreover, I'm not convinced by the above comment about contractors not being "of interest to the world at large", specially if they play a key part in the economy as it does in this case.

Leichnester, if you are "sure" that he passes criteria 1 and 2 in WP:NMUSIC then you can provide those sources? Perhaps an option would be to userfy this article while one of the editors who is arguing for 'keep' works on improving it? Richard3120 ( talk) 15:04, 25 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Notability, for Wikipedia's purposes, is not demonstrated by asserting that he's passed one or more NMUSIC criteria — it's demonstrated by reliably sourcing that he's gotten media coverage for accomplishing one or more NMUSIC criteria. It doesn't matter what notability criterion you claim a person meets — if he met it without getting media coverage about his meeting of it, then he still doesn't get an article on here until media coverage can be shown.

Richard3120 I agree with you, Trumann12 and Sarahobonix seem very suspicious. Leichnester ( talk) 23:28, 26 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is not restricted to online web sources — while we like to provide a convenience URL to an online copy of the source if one is available, print-only content is acceptable sourcing as long as (a) that content has been published (people have, for instance, tried to source stuff to private personal correspondence, which doesn't count as valid sourcing as it hasn't been published), and (b) you provide the complete citation details so that somebody can track down the source if needed. So if you really do have enough viable offline sources, such as newspaper or magazine or book content that can get him over GNG, then that will count. Bearcat ( talk) 15:20, 27 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment Sorry guys, did not had time to pass today by the library. Bearcat I am concerned mostly with topic 1) 2) 9) and 11) of WP:NMUSIC. And this concerning is related with this link/src http://www.norrkopingssymfoniorkester.se/index.php/orkestern/aktuellt/nyheter/haer-aer-kompositoererna. The thing is (a) it was not him who wrote it, (b) the last paragraph translated says that before Norrköping Symphoniorkester premier his piece, he had already pieces premiered by Porto Orchestra and Lübeck Orchestra and Norrköping was also premiering a new piece (c) Orchestras cannot play unpublished pieces because of copyright laws (d) and this is where I get more surprised, if he has 25 years old, how can him have so many "orchestral pieces of music" played by orchestras? The classical music world is very competitive and having a single orchestra performing a piece is already a prize for the composer. He has 3 pieces premiered at least. And then there is the album matter on topic 2). He has an album that it will never enter to the top charts because it is classical music but let's look to the facts. Classical music is difficult to sell and still there was a label deciding to invest on a young guy to sell his "classical music" by Itunes store and amazon. I do not know if I am surpassing my bonds, but I think with this kind of young classical musicians we cannot take the WP:NMUSIC so literal when it comes to the criteria. Sorry for this comment and honestly if I do not manage tomorrow to pass by the library and try to find the sources I will be the first one saying delete it since it has passed already too much time however since I know the work of this musician from here Göteborg Sweden, I suggest what Richard3120 has done before, to give some time to the article for the responsible to source it well.

Non-notable team. Although England Korfball list Bec as among their "Premier League", there is no indication that this is a notable league (in the same manner that the English Premier football league is notable). No significant, independent coverage can be found for this team. WikiDan61 ^ChatMe! _ReadMe!! 22:39, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Dear WikiDan61 - I am the current England captain for korfball and also the Chair of Bec Korfball Club so pretty well informed in this area. That being said, I am also a beginner when it comes to Wikipedia so do bear that in mind! I can confirm that the "Premier League" on the England Korfball site is the top level of competition for korfball in England (e.g. the equivalent of the English Premier League in football for our sport) so it is certainly notable.

In terms of independent coverage:

• Here is a piece in the SW Londoner about our attempts to win the national league including a video created by their team: http://www.swlondoner.co.uk/third-time-lucky-bec-korfball-club-hoping-score-play-off-semi-final-win-croydon/
• Here is a piece in the Tooting Daily Press on our club: http://tooting-news.dailyprss.co.uk/tabs/blog/2015/05/tooting-bec-korfball-club-season-report
• Here is a piece I wrote for the BBC about the sport: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/get-inspired/29744696

What else do I need to do to stop the page from being deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KorfBen ( talk • contribs) 12:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• @ KorfBen: The first two pieces, from the SW Londoner and the Tooting Daily Press are of the nature of local coverage, in the manner that any local paper might cover its local sports teams, not evidence of any particular widespread notability; while the third piece is hardly independent, having been written by you, an active member of the team trying to promote your sport. I wouldn't count any of these articles as contributing to the widespread notability of your team. Participation at the Premier League level would normally count for notability, but we'd need the independent coverage to verify that. It could be that the sport of korfball just doesn't receive enough notice for its participant teams to be notable. (I use, as an example, with no intent to denigrate korfball or its players, the game of tiddlywinks. Certainly Wikipedia has an article about the game, and even an article about the English Tiddlywinks Association, and yet its individual competitors (players or teams) would not likely be notable. Korfball may fall into a similar category.) WikiDan61 ^ChatMe! _ReadMe!! 13:11, 4 July 2016 (UTC) reply

@ WikiDan61: In the manner of many who use the phrase "with no intent to", you have managed to achieve exactly what you were supposedly trying not to. Comparing our sport to Tiddlywinks undermines the many people who commit their time to playing, coaching and organising the sport around the world. Unlike Tiddlywinks, Korfball is a sport, which is Olympic-recognised and has been in the World Games for decades. Although I see your point about the article being written by me, surely the fact that respected organisations such as the BBC and Sky Sports deem Korfball notable enough to feature should be enough for the inclusion of the top domestic teams on Wikipedia?

• @ KorfBen: As an IOC recognized sport (but not, at this time, an Olympic sport), Korfball deserves, and has received, coverage at Wikipedia. National-level teams (the English korfball team, the Netherlands korfball team, etc) might merit inclusion. Individual local teams require coverage as defined at WP:ORG, and as far as I can tell, Bec have not yet received that level of coverage. WikiDan61 ^ChatMe! _ReadMe!! 16:49, 4 July 2016 (UTC) reply

@ WikiDan61: Referring to Bec as a local team is incorrect. It is one of the largest and most successful korfball clubs in the UK. The Manchester United of korfball in the UK if you will. I do not understand why you are so keen to try and take down this page? As I think I have made clear, although it may not be notable for you, it is certainly notable for those who play our sport. What harm does it do by existing? As a side note, if you do insist on taking it down, I recommend you do the same for Trojans Korfball Club and Highbury Korfball Club.

• Comment Bec may well be "the Manchester United of Korfball", but lacking any significant sources, we can't assume that it is notable. The "harm it does by existing" is that Wikipedia has guidelines for what should be included, and those guidelines exist so that the facts of any particular article can be verified against the available reliable sources.

Motoroids

Motoroids (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD · Stats)

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are no independent, reliable sources that tell us anything about Motoroids, because the website has not been the subject of any coverage whatsoever. It has won no awards, and nobody has expressed any curiosity about this website, how it is run, who writes for it, or what makes it unique. The only independently published fact we have about Motoroids is its Alexa rank.

(Since this is a 3rd nomination, what follows is a very long discussion of what went wrong in the last AfD)

In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Motoroids (2nd nomination), one editor (@ Anupmehra:) argued that it should be kept based on WP:WEBCRIT #1, "the content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." While it is true that there the International Business Times routinely summarizes bits of automotive content from Motoroids, and HighBeam has similar hits for a mysterious magazine called Auto Business News (ABN), the content that is picked up by other publications is entirely trivial, or WP:ROUTINE.

The content is generated thus: Harley-Davidson India emails out a press release, crowing that they are going to open some new dealerships. Motoriods proceeds to write a blog post, Harley-Davidson opens two new dealerships in Surat and Bengaluru consisting mostly of direct quotes from Harley-Davidson's press release. The following day over at International Business Times, another blogger reads the Motoroids blog post about the H-D press release, and writes their own short summary, Harley-Davidson Opens New Dealerships in Bangalore, Surat, crediting Motoroids for the "scoop" and again heavily quoting the original press release. This cycle is repeated dozens of times, perhaps hundreds. Every time you read a "according to Motoroids this" or "Motoroids reported that", if you click the link, it consists of nothing but Motoroids blogging a quick gloss of a press release from a car or motorcycle company.

The previous AFD failed to note that WP:WEBCRIT does not count "trivial coverage, such as: a brief summary of the nature of the content" which is all that Motoroids gets, and even then, it's only for rehashing press releases.

The fact that Motoroids gets cited by others might be an argument to trust it as a WP:RS, but reliability is not equivalent to notability.

If we are to have an article about Motoroids, what should the article say? We have no sources that verify that it was formerly called Motoroids2, was founded in 2009, has an office in Mumbai, or has a team of 8 writers and 2 photographers. Nobody has published anything about Motoroids except an Alexa rank. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 04:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Completely non-notable software, a spammer's article J. M. ( talk) 22:01, 17 July 2016 (UTC) reply

You are unable to prove the software is popular, as there are basically no sources about it at all. Besides, notability does not rely on popularity. The " Other stuff exists" argument is invalid in deletion discussions.— J. M. ( talk) 22:40, 17 July 2016 (UTC) reply

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-CD/ a site which i have no control over, shows that almost 5,000 people have viewed the tutorial there. That is proof that it is popular. Michaelbarry147 ( talk) 04:57, 18 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Sorry, but that is irrelevant (and ridiculous). Besides, this is one of the most common tricks spammers use: post a "howto" tutorial on some blog, wiki or a similar website with a generic title that suggests the article deals with a general topic, to attract visitors (in this instance, "How To Burn A CD"), and then advertise their product in the article (and spam with the fake "tutorial" on Wikipedia).— J.

• Delete - XXN has a penchant for creating articles about random Romanian musicians, and this is no exception. He seems to base his entire "keep" argument around the fact that the subject placed on the mediaforest charts - but what he conveniently fails to mention is that no official Romanian chart exists any longer, and that mediaforest has no real standing to make such determinations. He also avers that "a lot of media articles & news" exist regarding the subject, but of course fails to tell us what any of these are.
• Anyway, assuming My Love on You is a notable topic (I have my doubts, but let's grant it for argument's sake), and as it seems this is the only remotely notable thing the subject has done, there is zero need to duplicate content by having two articles.

• Delete This is just another one of countless plastic surgeons, who is not notable just because his practice is located in Manhattan, as that island does not transfer notability to its inhabitants. The New York Times reference is not significant biographical coverage of Silich as a surgeon or as a person, but rather a passing mention and a quotation by him. New You is a beauty, fashion, entertainment, lifestyle magazine which I do not consider a reliable source for determining the notability of a surgeon or academic.

I'm not seeing much for coverage. Was active in the 2000s. She has a starring role in 5 cm, I's, and Aika R-16/Zero, and possibly main in Haibane, but none of those are real standout roles in the anime industry. Only one anime convention appearance.

This DAB page isn't serving a purpose. I checked - there's only one Paul Townshend mentioned on all of Wikipedia and it's Pete's brother. The other entry is a guy with a similar name. This is a WP:TWODABS scenario if you count the second entry as legitimate (it probably isn't) and even then there's no ambiguity here. Nohomersryan ( talk) 04:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• Merge to Paul Townsend (disambiguation) This page, Paul Townshend, was created as a dab for those named Paul Towns(h)end as per the introductory line, with or without the h. There's no difference in the pronunciation between the two, so they are easily confused. Paul Townshend (musician) is mentioned in several WP articles, and so if readers are looking for him we want to make it clear we have info on him. Paul Townsend (disambiguation) has recently been created, so a merge and redirect there seems the best option - only a small number of entries so won't overload the reader, and whichever spelling the reader uses, we'll let them know all the Paul Towns(h)ends we have info on.

• Agree with Boleyn. Townsend and Townshend are pronounced identically in British English. One DAB page will suffice for both spellings. Narky Blert ( talk) 01:05, 28 July 2016 (UTC) reply

I don't know anything about firearms, but it's not clear that this rifle is notable in its own right. It it already mentioned several times in the AR-15 article. It does have a brief mention in the one referenced book, but besides that I can only find a few YouTube videos mentioning it and sales at some gun stores. Pianoman320 ( talk) 21:23, 23 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep. This is among the most popular and notable of the AR-15 pattern weapons. Two classes of variants within the product line have articles of their own, Carbon 15 and Bushmaster M4-type Carbine. If there was a concern about notbility the sensible thing would be to merge those articles into the parent article. Many talk page comments across mhave suggested creating this page. See Talk:Bushmaster_M4-type_Carbine#Move_content_to_Bushmaster_XM-15, for example. Further, the weapon is notable for its use in several highly prominent shootings, including the Beltway sniper attacks and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, both of which resulted in major lawsuits against the manufacturer. I agree that most generic AR-15s are not notable, but this is an exception. [Note: the article is at Bushmaster XM-15, but I've requested a move to Bushmaster XM15, which is how the manufacturer spells it.] Felsic2 ( talk) 23:22, 23 July 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Also known from a few shootings, I think this rifle should have its own article. Here is a few news articles found in HighBeam. Ilyushka88 | ^Talk! _Contribs 03:15, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• If the verdict is "keep", there is a request by User:Felsic2 to move Bushmaster XM-15 to Bushmaster XM15; he says "The un-hyphenated version is the official name.". ( Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 04:46, 24 July 2016 (UTC)} reply

No longer true, Bushmaster's 2016 sales brochure hyphenates it. Herr Gruber ( talk) 17:38, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• KEEP. If you don't know anything about firearms, stop editing firearms articles. Please, read Wikipedia:Competence is required and stop wasting our time.-- RAF910 ( talk) 15:27, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep, clearly notable and properly sourced. Nominating it for deletion is clearly frivolous. , and part of a crusade against guns of all kinds that Felsic2 is pursuing here. Thomas.W ^talk 19:22, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Um, actually he put the article up, it's someone else trying to delete it. Herr Gruber ( talk) 19:28, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Oops, my bad. Thomas.W ^talk 19:31, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep, notable and popular firearm. Also has a bizarre habit of showing up in high-profile incidents (off-hand I can think of the Beltway Sniper attacks, 2007 Colorado YWAM and New Life shootings, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and North Hollywood shootout, and the shooter in the Capitol Hill massacre had one in his truck too). Herr Gruber ( talk) 21:08, 24 July 2016 (UTC) reply
• Comment, "If you don't know anything about firearms, stop editing firearms articles.", editors are encouraged to BE WP:BOLD, although also to be WP:CAREFUL, putting this article up for afd may have not been the best way to go, a query on its talkpage, and at Firearms project may have been more appropriate, anyway Keep as article is well sourced and meets WP:GNG.
