Insufficient indication of notability. The only proven claim to fame is that he's part of Street Radio (although I also have some questions about the notability of that subject, but that's another discussion), but notability is not inherited; J. Math needs to be notable in his own right to have an article. Nothing else in this article has any references to back it up, and even if it did, it wouldn't do that much to indicate notability. The only potentially good source currently on this article is the Vibe Magazine mention; however, I actually looked up the August 2008 issue of Vibe, and Street Radio gets only the briefest of brief mentions in that issue (page 46) -- certainly not enough to indicate notability. I did some thorough searching but I really couldn't find any other credible/verifiable sources indicating that J. Math might be notable. IagoQnsi ( talk) 04:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC) reply

KEEP Page has been updated with many new sources and information regarding the issues raised above. J. Math's main point of notability is that as a songwriter for notable artists like 50 Cent, Wu-Tang Clan, Cam'ron, Rick Ross, Wu-Tang Clan, Styles P, and many more. He is credited as such on multiple major label albums that have placed on Billboard charts internationally, which I have updated the page with. He is also credited as such for the RIAA gold certified album "Strength and Loyalty" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

Another point of notability is that he often is credited with other roles, specifically A&R and mixing engineer, and has been integrally involved with many major label or notable independent label releases, including 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan, and Styles P. I updated the page with these credits and included many online sources, while using the liner notes from these albums to confirm. I also found interviews with J. Math and included a couple quotes regarding the development of these albums. Kairaba ( talk) 05:22, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Kairaba reply

KEEP I'm not sure why above user thinks the subject of this article fails WP:MUSBIO. This notability standard clearly states that "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:" and then it lists 12 different points of notability. The article says someone may be notable if they meet at least 1 criteria, and I have shown that the subject of the article meets at least 4 of those 12. I will list them and their satisfactions here for convenience.

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself

- I referenced an article from Vibe Magazine which is entitled "Reasons why hip-hop isn't dead".  That article goes on to list only 5 notable producers/composers of which J. Math is one. 
- I referenced an a full page article in Scratch Magazine that significantly covers J. Math by name as well as some history around his career.  
- I referenced a hiphopdx.com article that heavily reference and quotes J. Math.
- I referenced a sohh.com article that heavily reference and quotes J. Math.

2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.

- I updated the page with Billboard charts (Top 200, Hot 100) that list J. Math as a composer on at least 5 different songs by notable artists, such as 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan, and G-Unit.

3. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.

- I updated the page to reflect that J. Math is listed as a composer on the RIAA gold certified album "Strength and Loyalty" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.

- J. Math is listed as a composer on G-Unit's "I Like The Way She Do It", which was in heavy rotation on national radio and the music video aired regularly on MTV.

  • Delete While Kairaba's has added sources to demonstrate that music the article subject has contributed to is certainly notable, not every contributor to a (for example) #95 single inherits notability from that contribution. If there was significant coverage in WP:RS of this artist himself, as opposed to the projects he's worked on, then I would agree with keeping it. Kairaba is obviously a fan, and there's nothing wrong with fans creating articles about the subjects of their fandom (this would be a rather sparse project without those contributions, after all) but there is a reason for the notability guidelines.

Delete and Salt as this has been restarted despite, not only a speedy G11 before, but an AfD Delete close last year with clear consensus, and there's literally nothing better from this article from when it was last deleted, searches unsurprisingly found triviality, and that's exactly what the listed sources are, either trivial PR or republished PR interviews, no actual substance. Also, the last AfD showed there was paid advertising contributions from advertising-only accounts which seems to be a viable option in this current case. Regardless of publications listed, it's all still in fact PR advertising, and some of the publications classify it themselves by either explicitly saying so or otherwise in similar form.

This article has been tagged as failing to meet Wikipedia's standards for four years now; little has been done to address these issues. I don't believe that this 'rivalry' warrants its own article; the teams haven't met that many times; I can find very little coverage on the internet other than trivial mentions and coverage from unreliable blogs and forums. The article is almost entirely original research. Also see WP:NRIVALRY; rivalries are not inherently notable and WP:GNG needs to be met independently. Spiderone 21:48, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Whether the Sukuma have a calendar or not, this article presents a verifiability problem as well as attributing beliefs about it to no one and not completely making sense. It provides no source for a calendar emerging "about 5,776" [sic] years ago, and I find no matches through Google or Google Scholar supporting this. The second half of the lead sentence seems to be a non sequitur. It says the Sukuma are "believed" to have advanced their astronomical skills without saying who believes this, or even why noticing the shifting nighttime sky marks an advancement of astronomical skills rather than being pretty basic. Unless they're using the Gregorian calendar, their solar festivals wouldn't be on the same Gregorian date every year; there's no mention of the months of this calendar, even how many of them there are in a given year (12? 13?), which means this article covers some details without establishing a foundation with the necessary basics.

  • Comment I've just looked at the references and IMHO nothing proves his notability...he's a jobbing freelance journalist who was the victim of an extorsion attempt in south america (as are a lot of people especially foreign nationals). The references that you provided are not free to view and nothing in the visible bits suggest that it was for political reasons. I found his blog http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2014/03/19/a-letter-from-a-correspondent-no-longer-in-venezuela/ and he clearly says that he was forced to leave because he is well off
I quote from his blog "There is a general sense of lawlessness and anarchy, which probably created the conditions for the extortion attempt against me. Criminals rob and murder with impunity. Extortion attempts against business people are common, particularly in the border towns close to Colombia. Many pay up. Not many well-off foreigners live in Venezuela but extortion against foreigners takes place in Caracas." So I am afraid he was NOT forced to escape the country for political reasons. When you make unverifiable statements that are contradicted by the subject's own blog to try and prove notability there may be a a WP:COI problem here...
as a journalist he must fulfill at least one of the following criteria
1 The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
2 The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
3 The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
4 The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

  • Comment By political reasons I mean Foreign Journalist not being able to talk against the gov, allow me to correct my statement as it stated on the article and supported by the reference, he had to leave the country due to extortions attpemts, as a British Journalist, both probable target aginst freedom of speech and victim of extorsion in VE, plus the intense amount of work, verifiable now on the new references, it is a worthy article. ( Rinotova ( talk) 15:00, 22 November 2016 (UTC)) reply
  • Comment Rinotova In wikipedia there is no place for Original Research "both probable target aginst freedom of speech" is a quite dangerous thing to say when there is nothing in your article or any of the sources to point to this. You seem to be very invested in the publication of this page. Do you have a link to this person? there is a lot of very personal unsourced information that only a very close acquaintance would know. Please read this WP:COI and explain how you have this information and then if necessary make a full WP:DISCLOSURE on your user page. Domdeparis ( talk) 15:11, 22 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - citations are articles by Mitchell rather than about Mitchell. There are no citations for large chunks about Mitchell's early life. Statements about his career are actually not all sourced, either - the fact that Mitchell's work appeared in a certain journal does not mean he is employed by the journal, as is implied. Smmurphy( Talk) 22:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as I've been watching this and I'll concur everything is trivial and unconvincing with the article emphasizing it, therefore there's no convincing article, regardless of anything else insinuated.

  • Delete with all haste. As much as it pains me to delete OCaml-related material, this page is an obvious and abject mess. I used the Cameleon IDE, very briefly (it's quite horrible by modern standards), and I'm pretty sure it's got nothing whatsoever to do with the company mentioned here, which the article says is traded as... a template (PA) for a Harry Potter book ?!. Not sure if it's a joke. As for the notability of the editor itself, even in the niche of OCaml users I don't think it is terribly popular. Even if the article made a claim of notability, I doubt it could be sustained. — Gamall Wednesday Ida ( t · c) 20:11, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete a neologism that has about as little support as a snowflake. My gNews search [2]. To keep a political neologism we need substantive consideration of such a term in RS media, substantive discussion form public intellectuals, and scholarly consideration. The strongest source I came up with is The Myth of Tone Policing, from that right-wing rag, The Harvard Crimson. [3] For the curious, the Crimson columnist points to the "seminal" source on the topic, published in Everyday Feminism, here: [4].

E.M.Gregory, I'd have to disagree with that. They're both petty, politically charged terms that have unfortunately entered the popular lexicon, but they mean very different things.

Blatant hoax, no Google hits outside false positives and Wikipedia mirrors. Especially the train-killing anecdote sounds like an obvious joke. Speedy deletion deprodded purely because the article is 10 years old (which does not seem a great argument). Even if not a hoax, there is no claim of notability whatsoever, as the subject seems like a random fascist who achieved nothing in his life, but given the tone of the article especially in its early version [5], the lack of sources, the lack of Google hits, the history of its IP creator who later tried to create a further hoax through WP:AFC ( [6]), there is little doubt it is a hoax.

Even after Mussolini took power, there was never such a thing, i.e. death penalty for late train drivers! That's just a joke based on the Fascist propaganda myth "Mussolini made the trains run on time" (eg. see [7] or [8]). Cavarrone 19:49, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

To have an article on Wikipedia, article subjects must be shown with independent (secondary) reliable sources that indicate how the subject is notable per the relevant notability guidelines, in this case those for biographies. Merely linking to the radio station websites Mr. Bailey is associated with is not an independent reliable source; this would include things like news stories, independent reviews of his work, books, etc. I would ask you again if you are associated with Mr. Bailey in any way. 331dot ( talk) 12:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. A radio personality does not qualify for a Wikipedia article if the only "sources" you can provide to support the information are the primary source web pages of the stations he's been affiliated with — notability is conditional on his being the subject of substantive coverage in sources he is not affiliated with, such as newspapers and books. I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody can actually show the kind of sources that actually pass muster toward meeting WP:GNG, but his own "our staff" profile on the web page of his own employer does not get him into an encyclopedia in and of itself.

Thank you for the feedback but I can assure you as the creator the intention of this piece isn't promotional, but to provide details on the long history of the business using Gizmodo as base structure to create the page.

  • Keep: Page has been updated to include additional citations and material. Looking to expand the new coverage section due to the high number of brand references within Wikipedia. — Coast123 ( talk) 12:04, 10 November 2016 (GMT)
Wikipedia itself is not to be used as a cited source in articles or as evidence of notability. Practically none of that material that you put into the article is talking about the website itself or establishing its notability, as best I can tell. Most of it was not about the website at all. The fact that some person who works for the website or owns the website was on some panel with 100 other people to give some award to someone else does nothing to establish the notability of the website and is basically irrelevant – that might be some (very minor) evidence that the person is notable, but it does nothing to establish that the website is notable. The fact that the website published an article about some camera does nothing to establish the notability of the website – even if some other people read that article and reference it in other articles. It might be evidence of the notability of the camera, but not the website that talked about it. What we need is in-depth coverage about the website in independent reliable sources. Please see WP:GNG. Incidentally, can you please try to use edit summaries when editing to explain your edits? It would be helpful to understand the motivation of the edits. — BarrelProof ( talk) 19:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply
The page isn't about the website, it's about the brands history and key figures involved during this time so I don't see how awards or key figures involved are irrelevant? Completely understand your reasoning RE notability so I've attempted to re-edit the content accordingly. The publication receives the majority of its coverage on other sites based on the articles & reports it produces, hence the large number of references throughout Wikipedia. This demonstrates the site as a trusted source, so the 'coverage' section was an attempt to display key breaking new stories where the brand has been cited by notable sources, again based on the Gizmodo page. Appreciate the feedback, thanks — Coast123 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:08, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Are there any references that talk ABOUT New Atlas/Gizmag. There are plenty of refs that show that it exists, but I cannot find any in-depth articles that talk about it. For instance, if you look at the Gizmodo page, there are plenty of references talking about Gizmodo and not just using Gizmodo as a source. --  Darth Mike  (talk) 14:25, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Ah that makes a lot more sense, I'll investigate - thanks! — Coast123 ( talk) 15:11, 10 November 2016 (GMT)
Yes, please. The article is about New Atlas/Gizmag. Per WP:GNG, it should cite "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" that talk about New Atlas/Gizmag "directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content". Currently the article does not have that. — BarrelProof ( talk) 16:38, 13 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Ok I think (hope) we're almost there! The page now includes more details about the website specifically including a diverse array of sources i.e. the Sydney Morning Herald, HighBeam Research and other independent publications.

Personally, I still don't think it passes WP:GNG. Of the thirteen refs:

1. Two sentences that shows it exists. 2. Own site. First party. 3. Not about site, about culture clashes. 4. Three sentences that shows it exists. 5. A line in a chart (it exists). 6. Linked-In profile 8. Short paragraph that says it exists. 9. It exists. 11. Looks like a paid advertisement. 12. Own site. First party. 13. Three sentences that shows it exists. Of the two left, 7 and 10, they're both just interviews with the creator. Not independent from the subject matter. --  Darth Mike  (talk) 13:48, 17 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: All of the references that state it exists are included as it backs up a statement about the brand / website, so whilst I respect your opinion I have to disagree. Also references 7 & 10 are not interviews, they just include quotes taken from the owner Mike Hanlon, with the articles themselves covering key events in Gizmag’s history which is independent of the subject matter. Compared to other Wikipedia pages for publications such as Wired where 80% of references are from the website in question, the majority for New Atlas are also from external independent sources about the website. I fully believe the page now caters for the issues surrounding notability. Thanks Coast123 ( talk) 16:06, 24 November 2016 (GMT)

The others have the potential, as you say, but there has been no progress towards that potential. The point is that they have been there too long as stats and stats only. I know we are short of members now but we cannot allow statistics to just sit there indefinitely. As for what is wrong with cricket statistics, they breach WP:IINFO and they confuse non-cricket readers. Furthermore, they are of minimal, if any, use to cricket followers too unless they have a context and an article without narrative has no context. Jack | talk page 20:39, 16 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but improve The deletion seems to be based on point #14 of the reasons for deletion: "Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia". That links to WP:NOT, which features most of the above complaints. At the bottom of that page, the section entitled "When you wonder what to do" suggest a bullet point list, and above "Nominating the page for deletion" is "Changing the content of an article (normal editing)". I would contest that given that the 1877 and 1920 lists demonstrate that these articles have potential to be "well beyond the "bare statistics" label" the nominated articles should be tagged, but left for future expansion. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and often without a stub to start someone off, an article or list will never have a chance to reach its full potential.

  • Keep. Sure these all need improvement, but WP is a work in progress, and this discussion already noted that similar articles featuring Tests from 1877 onwards and from 1920 to 1939 have been improved. So not only do we have other articles in what might be regarded as a series that includes these articles, (so it'd be an incomplete series if we deleted them), but we also have a model for the kind of improvement that can be effective. Just now needs to be done and I for one am willing to wait. Johnlp ( talk) 00:14, 19 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Dubious notability. The article demonstrates no more than mere existence. The listing of the second-level officers makes it a promotional directory entry. I cannot access the first reference, but "being in the next wave of trading firms" in Poland is not notability. The second is just a local article on a local firm, and that is not reliable for notability because local newspapers give coverage to all such firms. DGG ( talk ) 22:58, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete because, though it is not easy to search online for "OSTC", there doesn't appear to be any general news coverage about this company (apart from the local report already cited).

  • Delete He is only a school and university league player. That is not very notable by a large margin. He fails WP:NHOCKEY very clearly in light of his limited league participation and because he was also just a 2nd round NHL Entry Draft pick. Regarding general coverage: There are actually quite some articles which mention his name, but most of them are only in a passing mention for match reports or because of his father. Most of them are also just non-RS college newspapers. Thats not enough to pass the threshold of WP:GNG, because nothing of that is actually significant coverage of the subject itself. His father having an article also doesnt matter, as notability is not inherited. He fails WP:GNG therefore and the article should be deleted. Dead Mary ( talk) 13:00, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I've nominated this simply because it's not only so blatant business job listing (WP:SPAM and WP:NOT), but there's no actual claims of significance, hence this could use immediate deletion if possible, because (1) the one award listed is entirely trivial and unconvincing, being a trivial "citizen" award, regardless of where it comes from, and (2) she's only a finalist for a TV show, that's not at all a confirmation of actual notability or substance let alone a convincing article. Everything else simply goes to be exact business listing materials such as "She's a health advocate and plans to start a nonprofit). The fact this also then, next, goes to such specifics about her schools and education, it can only be either a self-advertised biography and it is, by User:Paigemobley. SwisterTwister talk 02:22, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete clearly a self-promo job created by the subject, User:Paigemobley.

Argument- Id like to make an argument against both Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) and SwisterTwister talk talk . Allow me to reference to the wiki articles of Michael Heverly, Cory Wade Hindorff, Jane Randall, Celia Ammerman, and Anchal Joseph. All of these former Top Model contestants have articles WITHOUT winning Top Model. They also ALL have far less "out there" or credits then that of Paige Mobley. To delete Paige Mobley without deleting all these other Top Model contestant articles would not make sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paigemobley ( talkcontribs) 21:04, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

They all seem to be established beyond the competition. What I mean by "little out there" is Reliable sources establishing notabilty for the subjects of Wikipedia articles. However, they may also fail the notabilty guidlines, too. I'll have to have a look. Thanks, Paige. Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) ( talk) 21:14, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Argument Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) Im sorry, but I have to disagree. Cory Wade Hindorff "currently lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." and Jane Randall " is engaged to a Canadian oil tycoon."... I don't see how these are notable or worthy establishments beyond the competition. As far as reliable sources go.. Ive read the article and I understand that collaboratively created websites (such as IMDB, personal site and Youtube) are not encouraged. However, the rest of the cited resources come from 3rd party acceptable articles. I will state again, to delete Paige Mobley while keeping the MANY other Top Model contestant articles does not make sense. Especially when MANY have significantly less accomplishments and experience than Paige Mobley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paigemobley ( talkcontribs) 21:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for adding some US sources which I didn't find initially (I'm in the UK). I will look more closely at those other articles: I only glanced at them before. IMDB and YouTube probably belong in External links with your Resumé (which is not a third party source since presumably either you or your agent wrote it...). Note: if your article is deleted, this is not a reflection on you, simply an enforcement on Wikipedia policy. You may yet become "notable" enough to be included so hang in there!

  • Comment to closer - Since the time I nominated this article, it has now changed to what's seen currently, but everything listed is simply trivial, regardless of whatever changes, because the one thing that summarizes this is: She's simply a TV show finalist. We have past AfDs as it is, and the WP:OSE articles listed above, can easily be nominated as TV show contestants are rarely ever independently notable, especially if solely as a finalist or beginning contestant.

And why does it matter if it's international or not, is there a guideline that says a marathon is non-notable if it's not international?

Apology accepted. Currently the article is poorly sourced. LibStar ( talk) 18:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) Even if it was known only in China, that is still a country of well over 1 billion people, so even if the marathon only had coverage within China it must surely sail over the WP:GNG bar. It just needs a bit of commonsense applying. Sionk ( talk) 18:31, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
so anything with a bit of coverage in china gets an article because it has over 1 billion? That's a new criterion for notability LibStar ( talk) 18:33, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
No, it's what is simply called 'general notability', widely known. One thing I would suggest though, if the article is kept, is that the word "International" is removed from the name. In the sources I've found it is called simply the Dalian Marathon. Sionk ( talk) 18:35, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Notability (unless inherent as defined by a specific guideline) is not based on "widely known" and somehow correlating that china gets a free pass. Notability is based on significant coverage in reliable sources. I'd say most chinese have not heard of this marathon whilst most americans have heard of the New York Marathon.

This page has been repeatedly tagged as non-notable for years, and has been a magnet for all sorts of puffery and unsourced claims. It might be a good idea to salt it. — Gorthian ( talk) 21:16, 13 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - I agree with Gorthian; the onus needs to be on proving that the topic is notable and it is very difficult to see any evidence of notability here. Certainly, not enough for an article of its own in any case. Spiderone 20:04, 25 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I prodded it with the following rationale: "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. " It was deprodded by User:Kvng with the following rationale "Sourcing is not clearly insufficient so this deletion is potentially controversial." Well, as far as I am concerned the sourcing is weak and consists of unreliable, niche/minor spam-sites that are likely payed to promote content, and press-releases, which do so openly. It is also misleading - the first (now dead) ref was labelled CNBC but the link betrays it was just a republished press release. It was created by WP:SPA and likely WP:COI, given its name, User:Magda wolves - and sadly, since the event took place last weak, I guess the spammer achieved its goal; the least we can do is clean that up and delete it.

Insufficient indication of notability. The only proven claim to fame is that he's part of Street Radio (although I also have some questions about the notability of that subject, but that's another discussion), but notability is not inherited; J. Math needs to be notable in his own right to have an article. Nothing else in this article has any references to back it up, and even if it did, it wouldn't do that much to indicate notability. The only potentially good source currently on this article is the Vibe Magazine mention; however, I actually looked up the August 2008 issue of Vibe, and Street Radio gets only the briefest of brief mentions in that issue (page 46) -- certainly not enough to indicate notability. I did some thorough searching but I really couldn't find any other credible/verifiable sources indicating that J. Math might be notable. IagoQnsi ( talk) 04:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC) reply

KEEP Page has been updated with many new sources and information regarding the issues raised above. J. Math's main point of notability is that as a songwriter for notable artists like 50 Cent, Wu-Tang Clan, Cam'ron, Rick Ross, Wu-Tang Clan, Styles P, and many more. He is credited as such on multiple major label albums that have placed on Billboard charts internationally, which I have updated the page with. He is also credited as such for the RIAA gold certified album "Strength and Loyalty" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

Another point of notability is that he often is credited with other roles, specifically A&R and mixing engineer, and has been integrally involved with many major label or notable independent label releases, including 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan, and Styles P. I updated the page with these credits and included many online sources, while using the liner notes from these albums to confirm. I also found interviews with J. Math and included a couple quotes regarding the development of these albums. Kairaba ( talk) 05:22, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Kairaba reply

KEEP I'm not sure why above user thinks the subject of this article fails WP:MUSBIO. This notability standard clearly states that "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:" and then it lists 12 different points of notability. The article says someone may be notable if they meet at least 1 criteria, and I have shown that the subject of the article meets at least 4 of those 12. I will list them and their satisfactions here for convenience.

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself

- I referenced an article from Vibe Magazine which is entitled "Reasons why hip-hop isn't dead".  That article goes on to list only 5 notable producers/composers of which J. Math is one. 
- I referenced an a full page article in Scratch Magazine that significantly covers J. Math by name as well as some history around his career.  
- I referenced a hiphopdx.com article that heavily reference and quotes J. Math.
- I referenced a sohh.com article that heavily reference and quotes J. Math.

2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.

- I updated the page with Billboard charts (Top 200, Hot 100) that list J. Math as a composer on at least 5 different songs by notable artists, such as 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan, and G-Unit.

3. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.

- I updated the page to reflect that J. Math is listed as a composer on the RIAA gold certified album "Strength and Loyalty" by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.

- J. Math is listed as a composer on G-Unit's "I Like The Way She Do It", which was in heavy rotation on national radio and the music video aired regularly on MTV.

  • Delete While Kairaba's has added sources to demonstrate that music the article subject has contributed to is certainly notable, not every contributor to a (for example) #95 single inherits notability from that contribution. If there was significant coverage in WP:RS of this artist himself, as opposed to the projects he's worked on, then I would agree with keeping it. Kairaba is obviously a fan, and there's nothing wrong with fans creating articles about the subjects of their fandom (this would be a rather sparse project without those contributions, after all) but there is a reason for the notability guidelines.

Delete and Salt as this has been restarted despite, not only a speedy G11 before, but an AfD Delete close last year with clear consensus, and there's literally nothing better from this article from when it was last deleted, searches unsurprisingly found triviality, and that's exactly what the listed sources are, either trivial PR or republished PR interviews, no actual substance. Also, the last AfD showed there was paid advertising contributions from advertising-only accounts which seems to be a viable option in this current case. Regardless of publications listed, it's all still in fact PR advertising, and some of the publications classify it themselves by either explicitly saying so or otherwise in similar form.

This article has been tagged as failing to meet Wikipedia's standards for four years now; little has been done to address these issues. I don't believe that this 'rivalry' warrants its own article; the teams haven't met that many times; I can find very little coverage on the internet other than trivial mentions and coverage from unreliable blogs and forums. The article is almost entirely original research. Also see WP:NRIVALRY; rivalries are not inherently notable and WP:GNG needs to be met independently. Spiderone 21:48, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Whether the Sukuma have a calendar or not, this article presents a verifiability problem as well as attributing beliefs about it to no one and not completely making sense. It provides no source for a calendar emerging "about 5,776" [sic] years ago, and I find no matches through Google or Google Scholar supporting this. The second half of the lead sentence seems to be a non sequitur. It says the Sukuma are "believed" to have advanced their astronomical skills without saying who believes this, or even why noticing the shifting nighttime sky marks an advancement of astronomical skills rather than being pretty basic. Unless they're using the Gregorian calendar, their solar festivals wouldn't be on the same Gregorian date every year; there's no mention of the months of this calendar, even how many of them there are in a given year (12? 13?), which means this article covers some details without establishing a foundation with the necessary basics.

  • Delete. All that I can find, from the references and by a search, is that the Sukuma, like many agricultural communities, have an annual cycle for their activities based on the movement of the stars, with associated ceremonies. That might be worth a mention in Sukuma people but is not notable enough for an article.

  • Comment I've just looked at the references and IMHO nothing proves his notability...he's a jobbing freelance journalist who was the victim of an extorsion attempt in south america (as are a lot of people especially foreign nationals). The references that you provided are not free to view and nothing in the visible bits suggest that it was for political reasons. I found his blog http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2014/03/19/a-letter-from-a-correspondent-no-longer-in-venezuela/ and he clearly says that he was forced to leave because he is well off
I quote from his blog "There is a general sense of lawlessness and anarchy, which probably created the conditions for the extortion attempt against me. Criminals rob and murder with impunity. Extortion attempts against business people are common, particularly in the border towns close to Colombia. Many pay up. Not many well-off foreigners live in Venezuela but extortion against foreigners takes place in Caracas." So I am afraid he was NOT forced to escape the country for political reasons. When you make unverifiable statements that are contradicted by the subject's own blog to try and prove notability there may be a a WP:COI problem here...
as a journalist he must fulfill at least one of the following criteria
1 The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
2 The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
3 The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
4 The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

  • Comment Rinotova In wikipedia there is no place for Original Research "both probable target aginst freedom of speech" is a quite dangerous thing to say when there is nothing in your article or any of the sources to point to this. You seem to be very invested in the publication of this page. Do you have a link to this person? there is a lot of very personal unsourced information that only a very close acquaintance would know.

  • Delete - citations are articles by Mitchell rather than about Mitchell. There are no citations for large chunks about Mitchell's early life.

  • Delete with all haste. As much as it pains me to delete OCaml-related material, this page is an obvious and abject mess. I used the Cameleon IDE, very briefly (it's quite horrible by modern standards), and I'm pretty sure it's got nothing whatsoever to do with the company mentioned here, which the article says is traded as... a template (PA) for a Harry Potter book ?!. Not sure if it's a joke. As for the notability of the editor itself, even in the niche of OCaml users I don't think it is terribly popular. Even if the article made a claim of notability, I doubt it could be sustained. — Gamall Wednesday Ida ( t · c) 20:11, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete a neologism that has about as little support as a snowflake. My gNews search [2]. To keep a political neologism we need substantive consideration of such a term in RS media, substantive discussion form public intellectuals, and scholarly consideration. The strongest source I came up with is The Myth of Tone Policing, from that right-wing rag, The Harvard Crimson. [3] For the curious, the Crimson columnist points to the "seminal" source on the topic, published in Everyday Feminism, here: [4]. Impressive propaganda, and, clearly the people pushing this meme/neologism make some valid and telling points. However, undergrad newspaper columnists do not suffice to establish notability.

  • Weak keep on the condition that it can be rewritten without the soapboxing. Same issue as the more fleshed-out Generation Snowflake. A neologism article for a word used by critics should focus on the neologism at hand, not the those who use it. That is, answer the question "What is tone policing?" rather than "Who is guilty of tone policing?" or "Who claims to have been tone-policed?". Jergling ( talk) 18:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

E.M.Gregory, I'd have to disagree with that. They're both petty, politically charged terms that have unfortunately entered the popular lexicon, but they mean very different things. "Tone policing" is usually used in leftist internal critique, while "snowflake generation" is a right-wing pejorative for young liberals. Neither are particularly strong critiques. I'd be all for merging tone policing to ad hominem or a similar fallacy. Jergling ( talk) 18:42, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Blatant hoax, no Google hits outside false positives and Wikipedia mirrors. Especially the train-killing anecdote sounds like an obvious joke. Speedy deletion deprodded purely because the article is 10 years old (which does not seem a great argument). Even if not a hoax, there is no claim of notability whatsoever, as the subject seems like a random fascist who achieved nothing in his life, but given the tone of the article especially in its early version [5], the lack of sources, the lack of Google hits, the history of its IP creator who later tried to create a further hoax through WP:AFC ( [6]), there is little doubt it is a hoax.

Merely linking to the radio station websites Mr. Bailey is associated with is not an independent reliable source; this would include things like news stories, independent reviews of his work, books, etc. I would ask you again if you are associated with Mr. Bailey in any way. 331dot ( talk) 12:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. A radio personality does not qualify for a Wikipedia article if the only "sources" you can provide to support the information are the primary source web pages of the stations he's been affiliated with — notability is conditional on his being the subject of substantive coverage in sources he is not affiliated with, such as newspapers and books. I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody can actually show the kind of sources that actually pass muster toward meeting WP:GNG, but his own "our staff" profile on the web page of his own employer does not get him into an encyclopedia in and of itself.

Thank you for the feedback but I can assure you as the creator the intention of this piece isn't promotional, but to provide details on the long history of the business using Gizmodo as base structure to create the page. I will look to add a section on coverage with details on breaking news & additional notable sources. Will post here as soon as this has been updated, any further advice & guidance is greatly appreciated. — Coast123 ( talk) 9:30, 10 November 2016 (GMT)

  • Keep: Page has been updated to include additional citations and material. Looking to expand the new coverage section due to the high number of brand references within Wikipedia. — Coast123 ( talk) 12:04, 10 November 2016 (GMT)
Wikipedia itself is not to be used as a cited source in articles or as evidence of notability. Practically none of that material that you put into the article is talking about the website itself or establishing its notability, as best I can tell. Most of it was not about the website at all. The fact that some person who works for the website or owns the website was on some panel with 100 other people to give some award to someone else does nothing to establish the notability of the website and is basically irrelevant – that might be some (very minor) evidence that the person is notable, but it does nothing to establish that the website is notable. The fact that the website published an article about some camera does nothing to establish the notability of the website – even if some other people read that article and reference it in other articles. It might be evidence of the notability of the camera, but not the website that talked about it. What we need is in-depth coverage about the website in independent reliable sources. Please see WP:GNG. Incidentally, can you please try to use edit summaries when editing to explain your edits? It would be helpful to understand the motivation of the edits. — BarrelProof ( talk) 19:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply
The page isn't about the website, it's about the brands history and key figures involved during this time so I don't see how awards or key figures involved are irrelevant? Completely understand your reasoning RE notability so I've attempted to re-edit the content accordingly. The publication receives the majority of its coverage on other sites based on the articles & reports it produces, hence the large number of references throughout Wikipedia. This demonstrates the site as a trusted source, so the 'coverage' section was an attempt to display key breaking new stories where the brand has been cited by notable sources, again based on the Gizmodo page. Appreciate the feedback, thanks — Coast123 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:08, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Are there any references that talk ABOUT New Atlas/Gizmag. There are plenty of refs that show that it exists, but I cannot find any in-depth articles that talk about it. For instance, if you look at the Gizmodo page, there are plenty of references talking about Gizmodo and not just using Gizmodo as a source. --  Darth Mike  (talk) 14:25, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Ah that makes a lot more sense, I'll investigate - thanks! — Coast123 ( talk) 15:11, 10 November 2016 (GMT)
Yes, please. The article is about New Atlas/Gizmag. Per WP:GNG, it should cite "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" that talk about New Atlas/Gizmag "directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content". Currently the article does not have that. — BarrelProof ( talk) 16:38, 13 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Ok I think (hope) we're almost there! The page now includes more details about the website specifically including a diverse array of sources i.e. the Sydney Morning Herald, HighBeam Research and other independent publications. Let me know what you guys think, I've found references toward a book in which the founder had contributed but as it's not the website specifically not sure if that's relevant?

Personally, I still don't think it passes WP:GNG. Of the thirteen refs:

1. Two sentences that shows it exists. 2. Own site. First party. 3. Not about site, about culture clashes. 4. Three sentences that shows it exists. 5. A line in a chart (it exists). 6. Linked-In profile 8. Short paragraph that says it exists. 9. It exists. 11. Looks like a paid advertisement. 12. Own site. First party. 13. Three sentences that shows it exists. Of the two left, 7 and 10, they're both just interviews with the creator. Not independent from the subject matter. --  Darth Mike  (talk) 13:48, 17 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: All of the references that state it exists are included as it backs up a statement about the brand / website, so whilst I respect your opinion I have to disagree. Also references 7 & 10 are not interviews, they just include quotes taken from the owner Mike Hanlon, with the articles themselves covering key events in Gizmag’s history which is independent of the subject matter. Compared to other Wikipedia pages for publications such as Wired where 80% of references are from the website in question, the majority for New Atlas are also from external independent sources about the website. I fully believe the page now caters for the issues surrounding notability. Thanks Coast123 ( talk) 16:06, 24 November 2016 (GMT)

Hello, @ Harrias:. Sorry, I don't agree. Those two articles have had a lot of work done on them and they are well beyond the "bare statistics" label. The others have the potential, as you say, but there has been no progress towards that potential. The point is that they have been there too long as stats and stats only. I know we are short of members now but we cannot allow statistics to just sit there indefinitely. As for what is wrong with cricket statistics, they breach WP:IINFO and they confuse non-cricket readers. Furthermore, they are of minimal, if any, use to cricket followers too unless they have a context and an article without narrative has no context. Jack | talk page 20:39, 16 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, but improve The deletion seems to be based on point #14 of the reasons for deletion: "Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia". That links to WP:NOT, which features most of the above complaints. At the bottom of that page, the section entitled "When you wonder what to do" suggest a bullet point list, and above "Nominating the page for deletion" is "Changing the content of an article (normal editing)". I would contest that given that the 1877 and 1920 lists demonstrate that these articles have potential to be "well beyond the "bare statistics" label" the nominated articles should be tagged, but left for future expansion. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, and often without a stub to start someone off, an article or list will never have a chance to reach its full potential.

  • Keep. Sure these all need improvement, but WP is a work in progress, and this discussion already noted that similar articles featuring Tests from 1877 onwards and from 1920 to 1939 have been improved. So not only do we have other articles in what might be regarded as a series that includes these articles, (so it'd be an incomplete series if we deleted them), but we also have a model for the kind of improvement that can be effective.

Dubious notability. The article demonstrates no more than mere existence. The listing of the second-level officers makes it a promotional directory entry. I cannot access the first reference, but "being in the next wave of trading firms" in Poland is not notability. The second is just a local article on a local firm, and that is not reliable for notability because local newspapers give coverage to all such firms. DGG ( talk ) 22:58, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete because, though it is not easy to search online for "OSTC", there doesn't appear to be any general news coverage about this company (apart from the local report already cited).

fails WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG Joeykai ( talk) 05:21, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete He is only a school and university league player. That is not very notable by a large margin. He fails WP:NHOCKEY very clearly in light of his limited league participation and because he was also just a 2nd round NHL Entry Draft pick. Regarding general coverage: There are actually quite some articles which mention his name, but most of them are only in a passing mention for match reports or because of his father. Most of them are also just non-RS college newspapers. Thats not enough to pass the threshold of WP:GNG, because nothing of that is actually significant coverage of the subject itself. His father having an article also doesnt matter, as notability is not inherited. He fails WP:GNG therefore and the article should be deleted. Dead Mary ( talk) 13:00, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I've nominated this simply because it's not only so blatant business job listing (WP:SPAM and WP:NOT), but there's no actual claims of significance, hence this could use immediate deletion if possible, because (1) the one award listed is entirely trivial and unconvincing, being a trivial "citizen" award, regardless of where it comes from, and (2) she's only a finalist for a TV show, that's not at all a confirmation of actual notability or substance let alone a convincing article. Everything else simply goes to be exact business listing materials such as "She's a health advocate and plans to start a nonprofit). The fact this also then, next, goes to such specifics about her schools and education, it can only be either a self-advertised biography and it is, by User:Paigemobley. SwisterTwister talk 02:22, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete clearly a self-promo job created by the subject, User:Paigemobley. I guess she could become notable if she wins America's Next Top Model, but I see little out there yet beyond YouTube, Social Media etc and minor mentions as a finalist in PerezHilton.com and Parent Herald. Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) ( talk) 20:40, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Argument- Id like to make an argument against both Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) and SwisterTwister talk talk . Allow me to reference to the wiki articles of Michael Heverly, Cory Wade Hindorff, Jane Randall, Celia Ammerman, and Anchal Joseph. All of these former Top Model contestants have articles WITHOUT winning Top Model. They also ALL have far less "out there" or credits then that of Paige Mobley. To delete Paige Mobley without deleting all these other Top Model contestant articles would not make sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paigemobley ( talkcontribs) 21:04, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

They all seem to be established beyond the competition. What I mean by "little out there" is Reliable sources establishing notabilty for the subjects of Wikipedia articles. However, they may also fail the notabilty guidlines, too. I'll have to have a look. Thanks, Paige. Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) ( talk) 21:14, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Argument Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) Im sorry, but I have to disagree. Cory Wade Hindorff "currently lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." and Jane Randall " is engaged to a Canadian oil tycoon."... I don't see how these are notable or worthy establishments beyond the competition. As far as reliable sources go.. Ive read the article and I understand that collaboratively created websites (such as IMDB, personal site and Youtube) are not encouraged. However, the rest of the cited resources come from 3rd party acceptable articles. I will state again, to delete Paige Mobley while keeping the MANY other Top Model contestant articles does not make sense. Especially when MANY have significantly less accomplishments and experience than Paige Mobley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paigemobley ( talkcontribs) 21:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Thanks for adding some US sources which I didn't find initially (I'm in the UK). I will look more closely at those other articles: I only glanced at them before. IMDB and YouTube probably belong in External links with your Resumé (which is not a third party source since presumably either you or your agent wrote it...). Note: if your article is deleted, this is not a reflection on you, simply an enforcement on Wikipedia policy. You may yet become "notable" enough to be included so hang in there! Good luck with your career and the show! Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) ( talk) 22:12, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment to closer - Since the time I nominated this article, it has now changed to what's seen currently, but everything listed is simply trivial, regardless of whatever changes, because the one thing that summarizes this is: She's simply a TV show finalist. We have past AfDs as it is, and the WP:OSE articles listed above, can easily be nominated as TV show contestants are rarely ever independently notable, especially if solely as a finalist or beginning contestant.

Agree Iadmc (Jubileeclipman) ( talk) 22:12, 18 November 2016 (UTC) reply

OK. I've flagged Cory Wade Hindorff for deletion I can only find social media etc for him. He's certainly an important role model for gay men and boys but little is written about him in third party sources. At least in the UK.

If this a true international marathon then why are so many winners non notable athletes from china who have not won other overseas marathons or competed in Olympics...despite being international . LibStar ( talk) 16:57, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • "so many winners non notable athletes from china who have not won other overseas marathons or competed in Olympics" — what does this have to do with it being international or not? International means "two or more nations" not "world-class" or "best in the world". And why does it matter if it's international or not, is there a guideline that says a marathon is non-notable if it's not international? Most of Category:Marathons in the United States aren't international. And you still haven't answered the question of "Are you suggesting there can only be 1 Chinese marathon on en.wiki?" Timmyshin ( talk) 17:16, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Since when is asking on-topic questions considered aggression? User:Sinok has already provided proof that the topic meets WP:GNG. Your arguments for deletion weren't related to WP:GNG at all. As far as I can see, you were arguing the topic ought to be deleted because 1) it's not international because most winners are from China and not notable and 2) it's not China's largest marathon. You haven't clarified on the second argument, hence my question. For the record most international marathons are participated by athletes from the home country. Timmyshin ( talk) 17:41, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
which american marathons will you nominate for deletion? LibStar ( talk) 17:54, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Apology accepted. Currently the article is poorly sourced. LibStar ( talk) 18:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) Even if it was known only in China, that is still a country of well over 1 billion people, so even if the marathon only had coverage within China it must surely sail over the WP:GNG bar. It just needs a bit of commonsense applying. Sionk ( talk) 18:31, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
so anything with a bit of coverage in china gets an article because it has over 1 billion? That's a new criterion for notability LibStar ( talk) 18:33, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
No, it's what is simply called 'general notability', widely known. One thing I would suggest though, if the article is kept, is that the word "International" is removed from the name. In the sources I've found it is called simply the Dalian Marathon. Sionk ( talk) 18:35, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Notability (unless inherent as defined by a specific guideline) is not based on "widely known" and somehow correlating that china gets a free pass. Notability is based on significant coverage in reliable sources. I'd say most chinese have not heard of this marathon whilst most americans have heard of the New York Marathon.

  • changing my vote to keep. Rethinking partly because the 2nd season of that TV series is pending. But also because Peace Arch News appears to be a legit local/regional daily and in addition to a new article published a day ago [21], it ran a profile in June [22] from which an article can be sourced (in addition to the interview already on the page). He was 15 last summer, and it just seems to make sense to keep this article on a teen heartthrob whose fans have made him something of a deal on social media. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 20:16, 20 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  • That June 2016 profile contains this sentence: "an even bigger opportunity for Bogert – a lead role in a series for Family Channel that begins filming in Toronto this August (beyond those scant few facts, the producers insist on a media black-out on the project at this stage)."

I prodded it with the following rationale: "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. " It was deprodded by User:Kvng with the following rationale "Sourcing is not clearly insufficient so this deletion is potentially controversial." Well, as far as I am concerned the sourcing is weak and consists of unreliable, niche/minor spam-sites that are likely payed to promote content, and press-releases, which do so openly. It is also misleading - the first (now dead) ref was labelled CNBC but the link betrays it was just a republished press release. It was created by WP:SPA and likely WP:COI, given its name, User:Magda wolves - and sadly, since the event took place last weak, I guess the spammer achieved its goal; the least we can do is clean that up and delete it. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:54, 3 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Sorry, I don't take anti-spam and COI context into account when patrolling proposed deletions. I suggest that if you suspect this sort of thing in the future, you take it directly to CSD or AfD. PROD is for deletions that are not expected to be controversial. The justifications you give for deletion of this are, if not potentially controversial, at least complex. ~ Kvng ( talk) 12:00, 4 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as blatant and clear advertising, going as far to contain costs and pricing information, none of this suggests anything better at all and, if it wasn't for the sake of saving ourselves from a future AfD, this should've been deleted by PROD as it was in fact appropriate.
