The article is about a non-notable password management service and app. Technically not eligible for A7 as it falls under software. There is no credible claim of significance. Neither is there any evidence of notability; fails WP:GNG as no reviews in reliable secondary sources. If we examine the popularity, the Facebook page shows 16 likes while the App Store entry for this shows a mere 17 ratings for all versions. This is a very low level of popularity; I see no reason why a non-notable, non-popular software article should be kept. Additionally, the article creator seems to have a COI here. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 23:46, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

The company is about five years old and has just 40 employees, however it is the subject of an in-depth 4-page article in Forbes. There are also several good local sources like this and trade press. [11] [12] [13]
A few years ago I might have said they were clearly notable and would have been correct, but the community's notability standards have increased for commercial topics, to the point of virtually prohibiting articles on startups that aren't clearly and overwhelmingly notable. The Forbes article is the only truly in-depth, mainstream, national source I have found, whereas we require "multiple". Many editors don't count local press for notability and the trade press articles are not substantial, in-depth works. The company's size and age are also factors. That being said, there is enough content in reliable sources to have a small article that is reliably sourced.
I have a financial connection. The problems with the current article, such as relying heavily on sources that only briefly mention the company and an unreasonable focus on products, are inconsequential. If the article is kept, I will rework it up to a GA level of quality. However, I am leaning more towards the community's preference being to delete and so did not want to work on it without seeing if it would survive AfD. CorporateM ( Talk)

This is the fourth time it has been recreated so I am sending this to AfD (also technically not eligible for A7). There is nothing which indicates that this software is notable (nor any credible claim of significance). Coverage is restricted to slightly modified press releases such as this. We have many anti-virus software. What makes this notable? When I couldn't find evidence for notability, I wondered if it is at least popular. However the Facebook page has 427 likes which indicates a very low level of popularity. I do not see any reason why we should keep an article about a non-notable software product.

I'm nominating this after sitting on it for a while, to see if additional coverage came available. It'd originally been nominated for a speedy, but there was enough of an assertion of notability to where it passed. The story behind this is a little unusual, but here goes:
In April 2015 a guy posted a video on YouTube about racism that received media attention. The coverage appears to be centered around the time of the video's release and there's really not a lot past that point in time. I think that this article is probably the most recent, from September 2015, and it's really more of an opinion piece where White is brought in to comment than about Dixon himself. Now what makes this a bit murkier is that someone posted to Reddit claiming that the video was all a hoax. It's validity is in question, considering that they backtrack eventually (after being questioned by other redditors) and try to say that they were only commenting on a blog post they found somewhere.
Hoax or not, my basic concern here is that ultimately this person appears to only be known for one video posted over a year ago. The coverage wasn't overly heavy and ultimately it never translated into anything more than your typical coverage of someone posting a viral video. If he'd gone on to post more videos that gained coverage over time that'd be different, but I don't see where this is the case here. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:10, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Unencyclopedic article about a fictional character.

There's a malformed merge (no target for discussion was ever set) from the DEPROD, but there are two separate issues with a merge: one is that the article would need to be split three ways (which is a fixable issue), and the second is that plot summary already exists in those articles, and all this would do is bulk it out with unnecessary detail..

Non-notable company. There are many many passing references to surveys conducted by Pollara, and a couple of rather short pieces about some of its personnel, but I have not been able to find a substantial independent piece about the company itself. ColinFine ( talk) 18:55, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
The book notes:
Like market researchers who determine who will buy which products, opinion pollsters have become important advisors on how to adapt the needs of organizations to the social environments in which they exist.
Much of the credit for this goes to the work of political party pollsters. Two polling firms have been particularly influential in the systematic use of issues surveys and polls by both parties and governments: Decima Research and Pollara Strategic Polling and Market Research. Decima was founded in 1979 by its chief pollster Allan Gregg; in the 1980s and in 1990s it became what one writer refered to as the 'General Motors of public affairs polling in Canada' (Sawatsky, 1987, p.165). This is mainly because it was the firm of choice for the federal Progressive Conservative governments of the 1980s and a succession of Tory provincial governments across Canada. After the defeat of the federal Progressive Conservatives in 1993, Gregg left Decima and the firm underwent a management change.
Pollara was founded in 1985 by Michael Marzolini who worked as the chief pollster for the Liberal Party of Canada. Like Gregg, he became a political advisor to the prime minster. Also like Decima, Pollara has expanded well beyond its political base to become a major supplier of research to other non-political organizations, including the pharmaceutical and health care industry, financial institutions, as well as the entertainment industry.
The article notes:
Insight Canada Research was later renamed to Pollara. See this source for verification of the name change:An upstart firm, Insight Canada Research, caught the national pulse better than any other published pollster during Canada's roller-coaster election campaign.
Michael Marzolini, the firm's founder, scored a technical coup with a completely accurate forecast of the national popular vote for all three major parties.
The firm's last poll before the Monday's election was released Friday night and gave the Progressive Conservatives 43 per cent of the decided vote, the Liberals 32 per cent and the NDP 20.
The computer whiz-turned-analyst, who was working on contract to CTV television news, couldn't have given himself a nicer 31st birthday present.
...
This year, while Martin Goldfarb's work for the Liberals and that by Decima Research for the Conservatives remained under party wraps, Marzolini ran what he says was the first "rolling poll" for a Canadian news organization.
The article notes:
The poll was conducted by Pollara, formerly Insight Canada Research, which is the pollster of the governing Liberal Party of Canada.
The article notes:
This survey was conducted by an outfit called Insight Canada Research. I read it when I was sifting through some stuff I was not intended to have access to. Political reporters do this sort of thing from time to time; it comes with the territory.
Insight Canada Research, I discovered, is a new polling outfit that provides a special Metro Toronto survey. It's run by two veteran "political consultants," Michael Marzolini and David Goyette, who usually spend their time helping politicians keep out of trouble.
Apparently, Marzolini and Goyette have now decided to market their expertise. They are going to take periodic surveys about what people in Metro Toronto think about issues of the day.
Alas, survey results are being offered only to politicians and businessmen. The big decision makers don't want vulgar journalists and the great unwashed public getting these vital statistics.
So a few scribbled pages are probably all I will ever see of material from Insight Canada Research.
The article notes:
Canadians are "seriously" worried about the 2012 economy - more pessimistic than they've been in almost two decades, according to a sobering new poll on the outlook for the year ahead.
Michael Marzolini, head of the Pollara polling firm, presented the gloomy findings Thursday to an Economic Club of Canada gathering in Toronto.
"This year's results are the most pessimistic in 16 years across all the indicators that we have been testing since 1985," Marzolini said. "Canadians are now in need of hope."
Pollara did extensive polling at the very end of 2011, among nearly 3,000 respondents nationwide, as it has for the past 27 years.
Canadians were telling Pollara they were in a pessimistic mood a year ago, at the end of 2010, Marzolini reported. But their spirits have only slumped further in the past year.
The article notes:
A Liberal pollster says Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day might have made a better showing in last fall's federal election if he hadn't foundered on the abortion issue.
Michael Marzolini, president of Pollara Research, said polling done after it became clear Day threatened a woman's right to choose indicates he lost a sizable amount of support, especially among women voters.
...
Marzolini's company has done polling for the Liberals for years, but it has sometimes missed the mark. Last year, his firm did polling in the mayor's race for the new City of Hamilton and said results indicated Bob Morrow would win easily. He lost.
Marzolini did say polling indicated the Alliance's policies on law and order remained popular, but that voters found Day "would have to overcome this credibility gap (over abortion) before he could take the offensive on justice issues." In the last week of the campaign, the polling firm was predicting 170 seats for the Liberals.
The article notes:
The poll, done by Pollara Inc. for the Economic Club of Toronto, showed 40 per cent of people believe they lost ground financially in 2007 and another 50 per cent expect their household income to fall behind the cost of living in 2008.
Pollara chairman Michael Marzolini said that while 65 per cent of Canadians believe the country is in a period of moderate growth, 31 per cent expect the economy to improve and 26 per cent believe it will worsen. Another 61 per cent of Canadians believe the U.S. economy will worsen next year.
...
Partly operating under its former name of Insight Canada Research, Pollara did all the polling for the Liberal Party of Canada during the 1993, 1997 and 2000 election campaigns. The company name was changed to Pollara in 1997.
The book notes:
The Liberals' own pollster, Michael Marzolini—the chairman and founder of Pollara, one of the best in Canada—was quoted in the Globe and Mail after the election was over, saying that Ignatieff's dull showing in the leaders' debates ...

The company is about five years old and has just 40 employees, however it is the subject of an in-depth 4-page article in Forbes. There are also several good local sources like this and trade press. [11] [12] [13]
A few years ago I might have said they were clearly notable and would have been correct, but the community's notability standards have increased for commercial topics, to the point of virtually prohibiting articles on startups that aren't clearly and overwhelmingly notable. The Forbes article is the only truly in-depth, mainstream, national source I have found, whereas we require "multiple". Many editors don't count local press for notability and the trade press articles are not substantial, in-depth works. The company's size and age are also factors. That being said, there is enough content in reliable sources to have a small article that is reliably sourced.
I have a financial connection. The problems with the current article, such as relying heavily on sources that only briefly mention the company and an unreasonable focus on products, are inconsequential. If the article is kept, I will rework it up to a GA level of quality. However, I am leaning more towards the community's preference being to delete and so did not want to work on it without seeing if it would survive AfD. CorporateM ( Talk)

I'm nominating this after sitting on it for a while, to see if additional coverage came available. It'd originally been nominated for a speedy, but there was enough of an assertion of notability to where it passed. The story behind this is a little unusual, but here goes:
In April 2015 a guy posted a video on YouTube about racism that received media attention. The coverage appears to be centered around the time of the video's release and there's really not a lot past that point in time. I think that this article is probably the most recent, from September 2015, and it's really more of an opinion piece where White is brought in to comment than about Dixon himself. Now what makes this a bit murkier is that someone posted to Reddit claiming that the video was all a hoax. It's validity is in question, considering that they backtrack eventually (after being questioned by other redditors) and try to say that they were only commenting on a blog post they found somewhere.
Hoax or not, my basic concern here is that ultimately this person appears to only be known for one video posted over a year ago. The coverage wasn't overly heavy and ultimately it never translated into anything more than your typical coverage of someone posting a viral video. If he'd gone on to post more videos that gained coverage over time that'd be different, but I don't see where this is the case here. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:10, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

The most relevant notability guideline is WP:AUTHOR. The Yale World Fellowship may indicate that he is "regarded as an important figure" by peers. He has a history of being briefly quoted by other journalists, such as: [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32]. His list of publications is extensive, but nearly everything longer than his newspaper articles is a report or documentary published by one of the two NGO's he has headed. Worldcat holdings are sparse, and Google Scholar citations are modest. I've been unable to find reviews of his work. It is unclear whether the subject is notable.

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. The article is unreferenced and I don't see any sources except few passing mentions.I totally agree with the nominator of the 2007 AfD, in other words. The article was unfortunately kept as kept through nobody involved seemed to have made an argument grounded in our policies. It seems that this AfD was made in the context of some other student union mass AfDs, and all the keep votes seem to be on the theme of "I disagree with mass nominations of student unions" - and in other words, not a single one is a valid rationale. Sigh. I'd encourage Islander to look at his 2007 contribs and consider renominating all those student union articles that were kept.

Implausible search term, especially since the lede says "A mine is...". I'm not sure what this started out as, but it is now a page that lists "related items." It is a duplicate of the "Military" heading on the Mine dab, except for two entries (which have been added to that page, even though they're sort of tangential). This page was also linked to the dab (and vice-versa), so all it really does is add an unnecessary layer of complexity to the search. MSJapan ( talk) 00:34, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. with no prejudice against speedy renomination.

Non-notable company. There are many many passing references to surveys conducted by Pollara, and a couple of rather short pieces about some of its personnel, but I have not been able to find a substantial independent piece about the company itself. ColinFine ( talk) 18:55, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
The book notes:
Like market researchers who determine who will buy which products, opinion pollsters have become important advisors on how to adapt the needs of organizations to the social environments in which they exist.
Much of the credit for this goes to the work of political party pollsters. Two polling firms have been particularly influential in the systematic use of issues surveys and polls by both parties and governments: Decima Research and Pollara Strategic Polling and Market Research. Decima was founded in 1979 by its chief pollster Allan Gregg; in the 1980s and in 1990s it became what one writer refered to as the 'General Motors of public affairs polling in Canada' (Sawatsky, 1987, p.165). This is mainly because it was the firm of choice for the federal Progressive Conservative governments of the 1980s and a succession of Tory provincial governments across Canada. After the defeat of the federal Progressive Conservatives in 1993, Gregg left Decima and the firm underwent a management change.
Pollara was founded in 1985 by Michael Marzolini who worked as the chief pollster for the Liberal Party of Canada. Like Gregg, he became a political advisor to the prime minster. Also like Decima, Pollara has expanded well beyond its political base to become a major supplier of research to other non-political organizations, including the pharmaceutical and health care industry, financial institutions, as well as the entertainment industry.
The article notes:
Insight Canada Research was later renamed to Pollara. See this source for verification of the name change:An upstart firm, Insight Canada Research, caught the national pulse better than any other published pollster during Canada's roller-coaster election campaign.
Michael Marzolini, the firm's founder, scored a technical coup with a completely accurate forecast of the national popular vote for all three major parties.
The firm's last poll before the Monday's election was released Friday night and gave the Progressive Conservatives 43 per cent of the decided vote, the Liberals 32 per cent and the NDP 20.
The computer whiz-turned-analyst, who was working on contract to CTV television news, couldn't have given himself a nicer 31st birthday present.
...
This year, while Martin Goldfarb's work for the Liberals and that by Decima Research for the Conservatives remained under party wraps, Marzolini ran what he says was the first "rolling poll" for a Canadian news organization.
The article notes:
The poll was conducted by Pollara, formerly Insight Canada Research, which is the pollster of the governing Liberal Party of Canada.
The article notes:
This survey was conducted by an outfit called Insight Canada Research. I read it when I was sifting through some stuff I was not intended to have access to. Political reporters do this sort of thing from time to time; it comes with the territory.
Insight Canada Research, I discovered, is a new polling outfit that provides a special Metro Toronto survey. It's run by two veteran "political consultants," Michael Marzolini and David Goyette, who usually spend their time helping politicians keep out of trouble.
Apparently, Marzolini and Goyette have now decided to market their expertise. They are going to take periodic surveys about what people in Metro Toronto think about issues of the day.
Alas, survey results are being offered only to politicians and businessmen. The big decision makers don't want vulgar journalists and the great unwashed public getting these vital statistics.
So a few scribbled pages are probably all I will ever see of material from Insight Canada Research.
The article notes:
Canadians are "seriously" worried about the 2012 economy - more pessimistic than they've been in almost two decades, according to a sobering new poll on the outlook for the year ahead.
Michael Marzolini, head of the Pollara polling firm, presented the gloomy findings Thursday to an Economic Club of Canada gathering in Toronto.
"This year's results are the most pessimistic in 16 years across all the indicators that we have been testing since 1985," Marzolini said. "Canadians are now in need of hope."
Pollara did extensive polling at the very end of 2011, among nearly 3,000 respondents nationwide, as it has for the past 27 years.
Canadians were telling Pollara they were in a pessimistic mood a year ago, at the end of 2010, Marzolini reported. But their spirits have only slumped further in the past year.
The article notes:
A Liberal pollster says Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day might have made a better showing in last fall's federal election if he hadn't foundered on the abortion issue.
Michael Marzolini, president of Pollara Research, said polling done after it became clear Day threatened a woman's right to choose indicates he lost a sizable amount of support, especially among women voters.
...
Marzolini's company has done polling for the Liberals for years, but it has sometimes missed the mark. Last year, his firm did polling in the mayor's race for the new City of Hamilton and said results indicated Bob Morrow would win easily. He lost.
Marzolini did say polling indicated the Alliance's policies on law and order remained popular, but that voters found Day "would have to overcome this credibility gap (over abortion) before he could take the offensive on justice issues." In the last week of the campaign, the polling firm was predicting 170 seats for the Liberals.
The article notes:
The poll, done by Pollara Inc. for the Economic Club of Toronto, showed 40 per cent of people believe they lost ground financially in 2007 and another 50 per cent expect their household income to fall behind the cost of living in 2008.
Pollara chairman Michael Marzolini said that while 65 per cent of Canadians believe the country is in a period of moderate growth, 31 per cent expect the economy to improve and 26 per cent believe it will worsen. Another 61 per cent of Canadians believe the U.S. economy will worsen next year.
...
Partly operating under its former name of Insight Canada Research, Pollara did all the polling for the Liberal Party of Canada during the 1993, 1997 and 2000 election campaigns. The company name was changed to Pollara in 1997.
The book notes:
The Liberals' own pollster, Michael Marzolini—the chairman and founder of Pollara, one of the best in Canada—was quoted in the Globe and Mail after the election was over, saying that Ignatieff's dull showing in the leaders' debates ...
