Bill Prim

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

Some articles of County Sheriffs exist on Wikipedia, but Bill Prim does not appear notable enough to have his own article here. He appears to fail WP:GNG. -- 1990'sguy ( talk) 23:11, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep. I've found the following articles, among more on Google News. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Anarchyte ( work | talk) 07:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Well, every source except the first one is from the Northwest Herald, which is the local McHenry County newspaper. It is normal for a local paper to frequently talk about local candidates or officials, and that coverage does not warrant a Wikipedia article. So, I would say that the NW Herald sources are not "valid" in this case because of that. The Chicago Tribune source is much better in this case, but it is also in the same general area. -- 1990'sguy ( talk) 13:48, 8 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete just being a county sheriff is not enough to make someone notable, and that is all this article says about Prim. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 00:47, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete. Being a county sheriff is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself, and local sourcing in local media is not enough to get him over the GNG bar — local coverage in local media always exists for local sheriffs, so to make a sheriff notable enough for inclusion the coverage has to go significantly above and beyond the purely local. Bearcat ( talk) 13:48, 10 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Weak keep - chief law enforcement officer of a county of over 1/3 million residents. I'd like to see sources added to the stub, please. Bearian ( talk) 17:21, 15 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete Concur with nom. A county sheriff must pass GNG. Insufficient coverage indicated. I looked at other in the category Illinois Sheriffs and almost all were notable due to having later served in a higher political office. MB 01:40, 21 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Sofia Richie

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

She is simply one model among the throng who model at runway shows and in print fashion spreads. She was a complete unknown until she evidently began dating Justin Bieber. Neither the Bieber connection nor her father being Lionel Richie is sufficient notability, which is not inherited. Tenebrae ( talk) 22:40, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete No improvement from the first version; to be fair it's less gossipy-sourced than the original version, but being in a minor version of Vogue and a music magazine's odd fashion issue isn't the cover of the main Vouge, and the Yeezy runway show was charitably described in the press as "a disaster". Relative notability doesn't clinch either. Nate • ( chatter) 02:13, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete Look at how bone dry this article is. Just 3 sentences! She is currently only famous for being Lionel Richie's daughter and Nicole Richie's sister and no one even bothered to create an "Early life" section where she clearly gets her so-called notability from. Secondly she is only famous for her fling with Justin Bieber. Being in the Yeezy Season 3 show is not notable, there were more unknown models than famous models in that show anyway. Delete this and remake it when she actually has something substantial to put here like Nicole does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:152:102:34E8:A881:6677:F386:9F3D ( talk) 00:55, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Zagonek

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

A more complete Wiki page for Zagonek exists under Vecheslav Zagonek. I was trying to de-orphan this page, but deletion seems a better option. Yorkshiresoul ( talk) 22:33, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment - if there are any good references on this new page, a WP:MERGE can be performed and, assuming there are no other Zagoneks around, we can change this page to a redirect. Vecheslav Zagonek is a fairly poorly written article, looks like a translation, so it could do with improvement from this material. Triptothecottage ( talk) 22:38, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Jeffrey Cooper (Write-In Presidential Candidate)

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

As a potential write-in candidate, the subject did get some news coverage but Wikipedia is not news and in the end, I don't think he quite meets the notability criteria for politicians. Pichpich ( talk) 22:14, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete Generally people who are actually on the balot for even marginally established parties in the US presidential race will be notable. However being allowed write-in candidate I do not think cuts it, and the sourcing suggests no better hope of coverage. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 01:03, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete Minimal coverage, not on the ballot. If this was kept, then there'd have to be an article for every write-in candidate. I think that threshold is too low. South Nashua ( talk) 13:04, 11 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep. I can't really add much to what Andrew Davidson said above, apart from pointing to the book search automatically linked by the nomination process. I get the impression that many deletion nominators have not actually had any experience of being employees. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 22:11, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete If "there is plenty written about them in management and HR literature" maybe some of those sources need to be added to the page? As I read it, without prior knowledge of the phrase and its connotations in upper middle management discussions, its a vague topic with one source to verify its relevance. But what do I know? According to the post above, since I've never heard this phrase uttered before, I probably have never been an employee of any employer ever in the whole wide world, and what I say should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 23:49, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

And did you try clicking on the word "books" in the searches linked above before writing that? 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 09:06, 6 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep possible merge with Evaluation (workplace). Certainly a well-known topic; shouldn't be hard to expand. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 03:48, 12 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Merge with Evaluation (workplace). Aspect of that topic, should be developed there first and rewritten competently before being spun off again. Sandstein 10:01, 13 November 2016 (UTC) reply

I disagree. Maybe there is scope for merging with something, but not with that article. Evaluation is concerned with what an employee does for an employer, but an individual development plan should concern itself at least as much with what the employer can do for an employee, or what an employee can do for her- or himself. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 20:16, 13 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep per WP:BEFORE. This is a standard practice in secondary and higher education as well as the workplace and employment law. It is distinct from an evaluation. Bearian ( talk) 17:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Ticketgoose

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

Advertisement for an Indian company whose local news companies are notorious for republishing their own interviewed company advertisements and quotes, and it shows the fact every single source lists information about their own business plans, thoughts and actions, something only the company would know and, given the circumstances, advertise about it. The history itself shows the account "Satish vp" to be clearly an advertising-only account, therefore we cannot begin to start questioning of making compromises given such blatancy, including when the listed information is only what they would use for advertising, "TicketGoose now covers more than 3000 destinations pan India, aggregate 700+ bus operators with 10,000+ buses plying on 20,000+ routes, and a network of 6000+ on-site agents" (followed by 4 literal press releases). This was accepted 2 years ago but it should not have been given the clear advertising motivations and intentions here, and they have still been continuing (account was last active earlier this year).

Delete He indeed fails WP:NHOCKEY. He only played in college and secondary leagues. His AHL and Junior Championships appearences are not enough for him to pass the threshold. RS sources which cover him independently are very meager. Some routine mentions in match and draft reports and thats basically it. No significant independent coverage focused on him as person. He therefore fails WP:GNG too. He is now retired anyway, so it is unlikely he will become notable per his ice hockey achievements in the future. The article should therefore be deleted.

Weak keep - Completed nomination on behalf of above user--above text was copied from the edit summary. As for my own view, the provided source (considered the most reliable one for cricket statistics) shows that he did indeed play first-class cricket and therefore meets the notability standards for cricketers at WP:CRIN, although an argument could be made the other way for WP:GNG reasons.

Speedy keep Passes WP:NCRIC. Joseph 2302 22:03, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment currently it would be debatable if this would pass the GNG. Sources could, however, be found - Leicestershire may well have some and there might well be newspaper references and the like or references in specific written sources about the early Leicestershire seasons or about Australian tours and so on. It seems reasonable then that sources could be found which would lead to this meeting the GNG - as an example, compare this version of the article on Keith Barlow with the current one - and his having played first-class cricket would then convey the sort of notability which might mean that he would meet the GNG. So I'd suggest keeping as an immediate course of action. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 20:25, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply

You do not need to comment about others. Keep your argument to the topic. as per references, did you really read them or got copy and paste from whatever big media links you found? have you really gone to what actually they have covered? are you actually building a case or going to every article of AfD with keep votes and commenting on others working style? your way of analyzing and discussing I am unable to understand. Pardon me if I said something wrong here. some of them are :

Antony Adshead only write about this company in Computer weekly, where they cover tech related blogs or PR in huge quantity. SimpliVity sheds staff, rattles tin for another $100m from investors Simplivity delivers storage quadruplets: Meet all-flashery and better DR " This article reads like product description" Chris Mellor : Covers all article for this company Sweating Springpath fails to defuse SimpliVity's patent bomb Cisco Broadens Moves in Cloud, ‘Hyperconverged’ Systems : is it really about this one? Specialized media coverage and non-notable discussions are nothing but promotional and intentional by company and no one else.

Or should be keep all those article as Wikipedia? are you defending Wikipedia or want to make it another PR company. This definitely not a news paper, where they covers daily operations or launch or ti-ips or funding. Can you write the " The most significant, impactful, and life changing aspect of this company" by your own analysis, or is it just another company related to technology? there are thousands of tech company in every nation in the world. there are already a directory for them, or local coverage.

I think you are not even reading what I am writing or others are writing. There are no proof of notability we can find for this one, as I wrote above if you have found something, can you mention as you have the confidence that this is notable. "The most significant impact, and life changing aspect of this company" You need to give the evidence. Merely presence of article is not proof. or you can keep writing the same thing without even giving any substantial writing. That is what we are discussing here! Light2021 ( talk) 07:44, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete instead as both still questionable for the needing convincing and then PR advertising concerns. The sources above are still in fact advertising what the company would say about itself, such as the fact the headers are not only company quotes, but so is the information (literally every listed source is, including the one which is apparently labeled as the best, actually then goes to company specifics and its services which also then states its history!), therefore now moving to the company-supplied information such as literally the specifics about its services and company, shows the PR alone. Simply stating that the company was "a pioneer and known" is still not convincing if the article would only be an advertisement, something we should take seriously. Another note is literally the fact the article is currently still a thin and unconvincing advertisement along with the fact several quickly coming and going accounts have been involved with this one article, which shows and confirms the fact the company is avid about PR. Therefore there are still in fact signs of churnalism, no matter what is mentioned, because of the blatant fact of company PR information being casually added to these supposed "news". Continuing with the article history here and here, seriously, it shows the sheerness of advertising being added then removed, only to have a few "apparently new" accounts come and add it again, removed and then added again, it's a damn advertisement and a blatantly persistent one at that therefore we make no compromises of simply "a pioneer and known". SwisterTwister talk 22:49, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Mild delete. There might be enough eventually (if one looks hard enough) barely to make a notability case, but what is in the article so far is clearly not enough. In particular, using words like solution, infrastructure, and especially hyper-converged infrastructure set off my marketing detector when the company does none of those in English. Might be beyond rescue. Too many self-proclaimed Unicorns now days. W Nowicki ( talk) 23:35, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete -- one of the sources listed above states that the company might plan an IPO for 2017 and that it had "$95m in sales in its 2016 financial year, double that from the previous 12 months. The company was founded in 2009 and launched its first product in 2012." This is not really significant for a 7-yo company, and the IPO does not look certain at this moment. The end result is this is a page on an unremarkable private tech company, where nothing stands out. Thus, I recommend deleting at this time. K.e.coffman ( talk) 04:42, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply

New Comments for this Article to not be Deleted -- I came across this Wikipedia page when doing some research for a friend of mine and saw the delete banner from last Wednesday. The page was terrible so I started editing the page - and have done far more than I thought I would ever do (I am obviously new to Wikipedia). Anyway the old version had one section but now there are seven & all of the sections have alot more in each. Most or all of these bullet points have a citation, some have multiple citations as well. I've also gone back to check and make sure the URL's aren't broken, updated accordingly. Also have Wikipedia links in here for most of the sections except Clients and Awards.

I think it is in good shape but may go back again and modify a little bit more. Some of the comments on here are asking if this is a real company, yes they are, and something else about IPO or SEO stuff. I'm not sure about any of this but simplivity is definitely a real company.

I would like to know how to keep this page from being deleted plus find out how to make the page better! Thank you, William, Wmshultz Wmshultz ( talk) 20:28, 25 October 2016 (UTC) — Wmshultz ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

No doubt It is full of citations and misleading for readings as well. The criteria for Wikipedia notability is not just writing each words with "non-notable" citations. There are not enough Independent Notable in-depth coverage for this one (means notable media not blog post). Light2021 ( talk) 20:46, 25 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep First up, I'd like to apologize in advance if I am formatting something incorrectly or otherwise not participating in this discussion in appropriate Wikipedia fashion. This is my first attempt at joining a talk thread on Wikipedia. That said, I would deeply appreciate the opportunity to be heard even if I make a faux pas. Thank you in advance!

I believe SimpliVity are notable enough for their own Wikipedia page for a few reasons. They're one of the largest HCI vendors both in customer base and revenue. Their approach is unique amongst HCI vendors: namely the use of an ASIC to handle data efficiency. Even after years of HCI vendors adding features and homogenizing, SimpliVity still stands apart from the rest in how they handle multi-site capability. These are technical reasons, to be sure, but they make SimpliVIty one of the most notable tech vendors of the 2010s.

I am a tech journo (and a sysadmin) myself. No different in many ways than the fellow so casually derided above. I am also someone who enjoys Wikipedia as a reader, and I am trying - slowly but surely - to learn to become a contributor. I understand (or think I do!) the desire and importance behind notability. Not every HCI vendor *is* notable. Some will only ever be an entry in something like the List of Hyperconverged Infrastructure Vendors that I am working on. That said, I honestly believe that SimpliVity is one of the few vendors in this space notable enough to have their own page.

If the quality of the page is inadequate, or there is a desire for "better" sources, then by all means, let's discuss what criteria are adequate and improve the quality. If desired, I'll take a stab at the research myself. I'm still learning, but if I'm going to stand up and say this company is notable enough to keep, I should be willing to do the work to improve the page!

I'm also curious what is defined as "notable media" here. My own work has been cited on various pages in Wikipedia. So has Mellor's (many, many times). So as a tech journo, I'm honestly curious: does Wikipedia have a list of which publications are considered acceptable and which are too pedestrian?

Another question - and again, I am really new to this talk thing, so please forgive me if this isn't the right forum to ask, but what prevents PRs from a given tech company from simply submitting all their rivals for deletion? The SimpliVity page was discussed above as "churnalism" and there were references to attempting to use Wikipedia for PR. Isn't that a bit of a two-way street?

To round out: I think SimpliVity is distinct enough and important enough amongst tech companies for it's own page, even while I don't believe that about may of the other players in the same space. I'm willing to put the work in to help bring the page up to standards (and educating myself in the process) if you're willing to keep it.

I don't know who Wmshultz is, nor what qualifies as "very close" to a company. I am a tech journo. I know SimpliVity, almost all of their competitors, tech companies both big and small who aren't competitors...it's my job. If you want full disclosure, just ask! I once did some commercial content work (read: writing some blogs) for SimplliVity. It was at least 8 months ago. Currently, I am doing commercial content work for three of SimpliVity's competitors. My current relationship with SimpliVity is: Me: "hey guys, I think you're kind of doing it wrong, and that there are some things over here you should pay attention to" SimpliVity: "nah, we're good". Insert months of not really interacting with them because of deep-seated disagreements here.

Also, what ever happened to Assume Good Faith? I like to think of myself as a person, with my own opinions and beliefs. I don't believe that just because a company is a startup, or has not IPOed they are not notable. I believe SimpliVity is notable. Is honest disagreement disallowed? And is it okay to impugn an individual for honestly trying to help?

I don't want to cause a scene, and I don't want to get wrapped up in weird politics. I just wanted to contribute to an area I've spent the past several years of my life living and breathing. I'm saddened that my first attempt to contribute has been met with such an accusation. My apologies to all if I have broken rules in attempting to do so. -- Astlor ( talk) 22:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep - I created this article along with its competitor Nutanix about 2 ½ years ago. Since that time, both have been inundated with promotional wording from editors who are likely related to the company in one way or another. You can see that in October of last year another editor ripped out much of the promotional wording that had been added since its creation in 2014.

Agreeing that it reads promotional, I reverted it back to where it was when I originally created it. I would ask the nominator what is promotional about the wording. While I understand his/her wanting to get rid of spam and promotion, simply existing as an article does not make it promotional.

Now, if an article is promotional beyond repair, it most certainly should be speedily deleted under WP:G11. If it is promotional but repairable, then G11 states replacing the content with text that complies with WP:NPOV is preferable. AfD is not cleanup and should be used for companies that are non-notable. With that, let’s address the notability concerns.

Notability in Wikipedia is based on significant coverage in reliable sources. A company must also satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. SimpliVity satisfies this guideline with articles in Forbes, TechCrunch, and Business Insider to name a few. These are all in-depth pieces that talk about the company itself. If nominator is unhappy with the guidelines on notability, they need to be addressed there, not by using AfD for WP:DE against what the community has already decided are the notability standards.

For routine mentions, simply mentioning funding is what I would consider a routine mention and you can find many sources that simply write a few sentences about an announcement funding. This is what is NOT in-depth according to WP:CORPDEPTH. However, I consider it much different when someone like TechCrunch picks up on the funding announcement and writes and article that not only talks about the funding, but goes into more details about a company and its products/services.

Finally, @ Wmshultz: & @ Astlor: should not be offended by the comments of @ Light2021:. There is a guideline to assume good faith, but in this case I think that he/she has. When new users come to Wikipedia and immediately come to a deletion discussion that normally indicates a conflict of interest. Many of us have been here for a while and can recognize behavior such as two new users commenting on the discussion at approximately the same time. Unfortunately, this is too much of a WP:DUCK and makes us think you are a WP:SOCK or WP:MEAT.-- CNMall41 ( talk) 22:15, 27 October 2016 (UTC) reply

It was strange how that other guy posted a comment. I was only on here reading the details on what to do and responded when the note popped up - was hoping it was someone who could help? It would be great if I could find someone to go through the article and say delete this, this is bad, don't use this and this is OK. My apologies, continuing to try to edit. Seems like most of the article disappeared so I'll try to type out what I can and reference the better links in the hopes this doesn't get deleted tonight.

@ Wmshultz: - I would advise to leave it in the current condition. What you have added made the article sound more promotional then when it was recommended for deletion. Any addition you do that does not adhere to WP:TONE and WP:NPOV I will simply revert. Sorry. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 22:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  The article notes:
  
  Data storage is a big business, inspiring investors to pump money into an array of startups. SimpliVity hopes to stand out from the pack, reaching a market value of more than $1 billion less than two years after shipping its hardware.
  The Westborough, Mass., company on Tuesday is announcing a $175 million funding round, with $150 million coming from Waypoint Capital–an investment firm associated with Switzerland’s Bertarelli family that initially encountered SimpliVity as a customer.
  SimpliVity is a proponent of what Silicon Valley calls “hyperconverged” technology. That means that computing and data storage are handled in the same box–essentially a server based on the x86 chip technology popularized by Intel, packaged along with software and components to store data on both disks and flash memory chips.
  ...
  SimpliVity’s funding round, its fourth, brings the total raised to date to $276 million. Prior investors participating in the latest round include Accel Partners, Charles River Ventures, DFJ Growth, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Growth and Meritech Capital Partners. Waypoint, a new investor, is leading the round.

  The article notes:
  
  Hyper-converged infrastructure appliance vendor SimpliVity is working with Morgan Stanley to get more private funding and to launch an IPO possibly in 2017. It has also laid people off.
  SimpliVity has been making cuts while looking for $100m in extra cash, a source familiar with the matter has told The Register. We have seen an internal Morgan Stanley memo that confirms the numbers involved. The email states that SimpliVity booked more than $95m in sales in its 2016 financial year, double that from the previous 12 months. The company was founded in 2009 and launched its first product in 2012.
  Crucially though, the memo suggests that, despite Morgan Stanley's efforts this year to secure new private funding for the business, SimpliVity has been unable to win over any new investors – its last funding round was announced in March 2015.

  The article notes:
  
  About 18 months ago, Westboro-based “hyperconverged infrastructure” provider, SimpliVity, brought on former EMC sales executive Mitch Breen with great fanfare.
  Now Mr. Breen is out, and founder and CEO Doron Kempel is taking over sales as SimpliVity marches toward its planned 2016 initial public offering.
  Before getting into its organizational change, let’s look at what SimpliVity does. Hyperconverged infrastructure is tech lingo for combining many different computing jobs into one device. SimpliVity’s product is called the OmniCube, and it combines up to 12 different computing activities into a single device that uses a low-priced server with very sophisticated software.
4. The sources provided by 1Wiki8Q5G7FviTHBac3dx8HhdNYwDVstR.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow SimpliVity to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
Cunard ( talk) 05:03, 31 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment and analysis - First let me note there's been an exhaustive list of comments analyzing the sources above and noting how there's a damningly large amount of self-republished interviews, trivial mere mentions as part of either its clients, investors or partners, but then also literal company quotes and number specifics, none of which are independent or significant. Now here's the analysis of sources above:

Data storage is a big business, inspiring investors to pump money into an array of startups. SimpliVity hopes to stand out from the pack, reaching a market value of more than $1 billion less than two years after shipping its hardware. (note how the paragraph begins with the subject of "data technology" first and then saying "Now SimpliVity hopes to stand out....market value!" None of that was journalism because it was literally the company's own words. Now the next one:

Hyper-converged infrastructure appliance vendor SimpliVity is working with Morgan Stanley to get more private funding and to launch an IPO possibly in 2017.... (followed by a few mere sentences and mini-paragraphs about how the business needs supporting, therefore not only is it not independent because the company literally supplied it, we can't even confide of significance, because it means nothing beyond the company's own plans of its own business).

Now as for the last article, note how literally the first massive part begins with that one businessman and his connections to the company before it says "Before getting into its organizational change, let’s look at what SimpliVity does"....literally not only company advertising, but literally saying "We're not going to talk about its business yet, let's mention what its services are and how the company can be used". This is a repeatedly familiar method of simply cosmetic-filling "news" when it's simply advertising simple as that, because it all ever focused with the company's own words, no actual journalism. Therefore, because it was so blatant with company specifics and numbers, businessman plans and thoughts and literal "here's what the company's services and features are and how you can use it!", it's not substantial or independent, hence it's not even notability.

Delete This is pretty obvious promotion for a non-notable company and should be deleted per WP:DEL14. The company itself is not notable. If you carefully look at the sources, there is not one good in-depth trusted mainstream media source. All I see is the routine news published in a bunch of startup media. My problem with using these sources is that they often publish redressed press releases and I do not consider that independent per WP:CORPIND. The WSJ source is reliable but I cannot see if it is an in-depth source or if it is a routine news about funding. The Telegram and Gazette is a local source. That combined with the obvious socking is grounds enough to delete. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 06:01, 8 November 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Lemongirl1942: - Ouch. I am sure you meant no harm but saying this is "pretty obvious promotion" is a kick in my rear. I create the article and have no skin in the game so I assure you it was not created for "promotion." If you look at the article in its current state, it is almost identical to the one I created. Over the years, there has been a ton of promotion added - which is often the case in Wikipedia once a company or person sees they have a Wikipedia page - but not sure what about the current form would be considered promotional. I understand your point on WP:CORPIND as we see it quite often and is normal in the startup stage of a company. However, I am curious about your opinion on the Business Insider article [9]. Not just the article itself, but also the episode of Silicon Valley (TV series) related to the company.-- CNMall41 ( talk) 20:40, 8 November 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Fenix down:, if you look better, it was a procedural keep as to better deal with a mass nomination which was going nowhere.

The keep close was merely technical and there was no judgment on the merits. Cavarrone 16:48, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply

At no point was that clear in your closing summary. Your statement confirms the outcome of the AfD was to keep all. Furthermore, the mass nomination was not going nowhere, there was clear consensus which players were notable through GNG, which through NFOOTY and which through neither. Regardless of what you thought you were doing, your close has had the effect of creating a judgement on the merits of the discussion. the correct course of action would have been to leave things alone, and let an admin delete the non-notable pages to save having this repetitive discussion. Fenix down ( talk) 16:57, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Please read the full discussion, starting from the first sentence after the striked rationale ("Please close so that I can renominate the non-notable ones as individual AfDs") to the last sentence ("Keep, re-nominate individually as previously mentioned"), and you'll find the responses to your concerns. You'll find the same sort of keep closures in dozens of not-unanimous mass nominations, I assume any neutral reader can easily understand how and why the AfD was closed as keep... you are just a bit too emotionally involved and you're reading the AfD in a wrong way. If you have further problems with the closuse, the proper venue is WP:DRV. Cavarrone 18:01, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply

OK, so you're totally missing the point here. The point is that three AfDs have now been started creating needless bureaucracy because you decided to close a discussion that would have been more effectively dealt with by someone who could delete the non-notable articles and keep those that there was consensus to keep, especially as further discussion took place following the sole request for a procedural close which clearly indicated at least one of the players nominated was notable per WP:NFOOTY.

How is it similar to a denomination? It's nothing like it - it's an organisation of pastors. (I know we keep articles on denominations - that's why I went out of my way encouraging people not to be misled!) St Anselm ( talk) 19:49, 6 November 2016 (UTC) reply

@ StAnselm: this is the equivalent thing to a denomination for churches whose ecclesiology leads them (a) to independent local leadership rather than regional hierarchical authority, and (b) still to seek close fellowship and co-working with other local churches of like theology and practice. It is very much like e.g. Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches or Association of Grace Baptist Churches (South East) here in the UK. However, it appears to be smaller than those, and I have not been able to find independent sources, either for this name or the other ERCA also stated on its website, "Ecumenical Reformed Churches Alliance". – Fayenatic L ondon 21:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep we are a small fellowship of Reformed churches and pastors we are similar to a denomination. In that any church or pastor recognized or ordained by us is accountable to us in certain matters but churches and ministers are also free to leave whenever they chose among other things that make us more of a fellowship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patricknelson1983 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 7 November 2016 (UTC) reply

No, it's nothing like them - as I keep on saying, the ERCA is not a denomination at all - it's more like a ministers' fraternal. The article you linked to was from 1997, so it can't be referring to this group, which was formed in 2006. St Anselm ( talk) 01:08, 8 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep - This page has been active for years, as well as had many other Wikipedian edits, with no deletion flags. Search results on the subject may seem lacking with how common of a term "doughboy" is. He was notable enough of a music producer to have just received a verified badge on Twitter. [13] Also, according XXL (magazine), he just recently produced on a Billboard charting album which meets WP:BASIC. [14] Also, this seems to meet WP:MUSICBIO via MTV. [ [15]] I appreciate everyone's time. __ Boyboi87 ( talk) 11:41, 14 November 2016 (UTC) reply

The Twitter link doesn't contribute to notability. The XXL Magazine link merely mentions his name. And the MTV link appears to be self-published; it sounds completely promotional, and at the bottom of the webpage it states "This site contains content from artists, fans, and writers from around the internet in it's natural form".

Delete and delete Doughboy Beatz production discography as well: Boyboi's first argument is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Second sentence is completely irrelevant to the subject or his notability. Doughboy Beatz produced just one track on that Billboard-charting album (Young Jefe 2), and it wasn't the song in the XXL link. The MTV biography is almost certainly a mirror of the Wikipedia page, as much of it is word-for-word the same – this is kind of confirmed by the fact that the "official site" link on the MTV page leads back to the Wikipedia article, not the artist's own page. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Richard3120 ( talk) 17:33, 14 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep - WP:MUSICBIO states that a subject "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: #2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." An instance was provided and sourced in the article you guys seem to be overlooking:

[16] - “Brandon produced Trai'D's breakout single "Gutta Chick" that made it's way onto the Billboard Hot 100 charts which jump started his production career.”

This was the spark that solidified me investing time into writing up the Doughboy profile in the first place. That meets WP:MUSICBIO. In addition, most of his productions are available on iTunes, so to dismiss all his work as being on non-notable mixtapes and non-charting albums as you and Magnolia677 said initially, is wrongful and misleading. Also, as the author of this subject’s entry, I can attest to the the fact that this Wiki derived from the MTV artist page--not the other way around. As this this shows, there was an actual “official website” but has since been shut down. The redirect to Wikipedia came after the fact entirely._ Boyboi87 ( talk) 13:43, 16 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Galen Giaccone

Giaccone is just plain not notable, being Miss Delaware is not enough to pass that threshold. The only link in the article itself that might be reliable is to the Special Olympics of Delaware, but it is a broken link and nothing about it suggests it is a substantial coverage. The news search showed 3 reliable source mentions, but they were all in a long listing of those who made it past the first round in the Miss American competition, nothing substantial. She is listed in Complex.com's 50 hottest Miss America contestants who didn't win, but nothing there suggests that is a reliable source. There is a press release from the office where she works as a dentist printed in a small Delaware paper, but even that is just a listing among multiple dentists. The University of Delaware when they put out a release about their program to encourage people from groups "underrepresented" in STEM careers to pursue them, listed her as one of 20 graduates of note back in 2011, when she seems to have still been in dental school. In a more general google search I was able to learn many details of her nine year courtship of her current husband, and exactly where they had their wedding and the reception, but nothing that suggested she is notable.

Her media career is a bunch of very local positions with local and PR coverage. None of this rises to the level of notability. The discussion back in 2010 bascially had 2 people vote keep on the argument that all winners of "major" state pageants are notable. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jessica Furrer should go to show this is clearly not the view of current consensus. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 00:36, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

An advertisement consisting of advertised information about his career, achievements and other business-focused events of his life, the sources themselves consist of sources that never actually mention him (TheGuardian and WIRED) and then also questionable sources that are from "special contributor users" (Entrepreneur) and then others that largely consist of only interviewed and company-businessman quotes, none of that is therefore independent of the man and his company or substantially significant for notability. Because of these concerns, this should not have been accepted from AfC especially given that (1) not only was it declined multiple times by different established reviewers but also then (2) only one account has focused with this heavily including by ultimately putting the largest PR contents of all. It is also concerning when an article, again, not only goes to specify and list everything there is to advertise about him and the company, but then to actually list his patents....

There is no inherited notability from simply having listed news sources, which seems to be an influence here, and then there's also no inheritance from having attention because of other people or companies; with this said, my own searches are then finding other news articles but they are simply either local PR interviews and advertisements, trivial mentions, company and business plans and other non-focused materials. We should not accept such PR business listings as they only damage the encyclopedia and its foundation. SwisterTwister talk 21:10, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Ring singularity

Is this page really needed due to the fact that there is both this page, the Black Hole page, the Gravitational singularity page, the Kerr Metric page and the Rotating black hole page. These pages all explain the concept perfectly well, which arguably brings WP:NOTABILITY into question.

Comment I have yet to look at notability and OR issues, but your assertion of redundancy seems false. Black Hole has a single sentence on the topic. Gravitational singularity has two sentences on the topic. Kerr metric mentions a "ring-shaped curvature singularity" but no more, and it is not mentioned at all in Rotating black hole. Two sentences in Gravitational singularity is not enough to explain the concept, discuss properties of ring singularities, and their implications for black hole and wormhole physics. -- Mark viking ( talk) 20:56, 29 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep. Being a bit of a mess is not among the deletion critera at AfD. It is not original research. There are no conclusions in the article that haven't been made in the literature. Referencing could be a lot better, but the article dates to the early era in Wikipedia when science articles were felt not to need references for material which was in textbooks. The term is in wide use for this particular type of singularity, there are multiple references available, and it is complex enough to merit an article of its own.

Keep A WP:BEFORE style GScholar search shows hundreds of paper,s spanning half a century, discussing various aspects ring singularities. A Gbooks search shows that ring singularities are discussed in some depth in general relativity textbooks such as Wald's book and and the book by Hobson, et. al.. The topic looks solidly notable. The article could use better referencing, but this is a matter of editing, not deletion. A notable topic and an article with no major structural problems suggests keeping the article. -- Mark viking ( talk) 18:04, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep - the article covers a real topic that is just barely touched on in the adjacent articles, a healthy situation.

Delete non-notable member of a city council. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 00:06, 9 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete. City councillors only get an automatic presumption of notability because city councillor in major internationally famous global cities, which Dublin, California is not. In any city outside of that narrow range, a city councillor gets an article only if you can write a really substantive and really well-sourced article which demonstrates that he's significantly more notable than the norm. That is, if a city councillor in Dublin, CA was getting covered in The New York Times on a regular basis, then there'd be a valid WP:GNG claim — but if all you can show is a few pieces of the WP:ROUTINE local media coverage that a city councillor would be expected to get, then that's nowhere near enough.

Delete – Very fishy: a television director at the age of 17? no reliable sources within article to demonstrate significance, notability or even the connection to the series (basis of their supposed significance). A simple search on Google (esp. News) provides no hits. @ Adam9007: ought to clarify why such article is not a WP:HOAX, and shouldn't be speedy-deleted as such. — MelbourneStar☆ ^talk 04:12, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

  - A 17 year old television director, in the business since 14 years of age + no reliable sources presented at all -- seems quite obvious to me. — MelbourneStar☆ ^talk 04:14, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Snow delete - This is an obvious hoax. No reliable sources, searching for sources online doesn't turn up much either. -- Dane2007 ^talk 04:17, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

- Read WP:RS. That personal website could mean anything, it certainly ought not to be used as an indicator of notability, let alone veracity. Might I add Code Lyoko: Rebirth doesn't exist either. — MelbourneStar☆ ^talk 04:24, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply
  - Why is everyone assuming bad faith here? A quick Google search reveals that Code Lyoko: Rebirth does exist. It might not be on Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Adam9007 ( talk) 04:31, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply
    - User who created this article was blocked for abusing multiple accounts and is accused of creating similar material; they've created an article with no sources whatsoever (not even unreliable sources). In further digging, no reliable sources even exist online -- you have yet to provide any. There's a pretty big difference between existing in reliable sources -- news outlets, books, published works --- and existing in someone's imagination, their own creative works, or even a YouTube channel for example. This seems fan made, and not actual notable work. Happy to be proven otherwise, but you are still yet to. — MelbourneStar☆ ^talk 04:39, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply
      - My searches lead me to believe he is simply not notable. There's a big difference between being non-notable and a hoax. But either way, this discussion is rather pointless. This should have been a PROD. Snow delete. Adam9007 ( talk) 04:42, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Center-libertarianism

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

This is a POV fork that does not summarize what reliable sources report but rather gives a single editor's opinion. Far too often the cited sources simply do not say what they are cited for. The main source is this website that clearly does not meet Wikipedia's standards of reliability. What remains are largely sources that do not mention Center-libertarianism (or centrist libertarianism), plus a few opinion pieces and blog posts. If all badly-sourced content is removed, literally nothing remains. The page should be deleted and a redirect to the main libertarianism article put in its place again. Huon ( talk) 00:52, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep Huon has been harassing me ever since we could not reach a consensus on a different page. Now he is going after a well established article that already passed initial vetting with wikipedia admins. The fact he tracks down every page I edit and wants to delete them is getting ridiculous. I dont have time to go on wikipedia every hour and defend against his arguments. As for it being POV fork that is simply not true, its written from a neutral point of view and certainly covers criticisms. LuckyLag360 ( talk) 03:19, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete Even though I seem to be one. A WP article needs secondary sources establishing that the topic exists and is called by that name. They do not seem to be here. The different shades of libertarianism should be discussed in Libertarianism itself, and/or in some kind of spin-off like "Libertarian policies" or whatever. Kitfoxxe ( talk) 09:52, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Which I tried to add to the Libertarianism article but it was rejected by non other than Huon. LuckyLag360 ( talk) 18:31, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

For the record, I checked every single instance where the new source which LuckyLag360 added mentions libertarianism. It does not say what LuckyLag360 cites it for; it does not mention Center-libertarianism. Also for the record, the content at the Libertarianism article was based on exactly the same unreliable sources that form the basis of this page. These sources, and content based on them, have no place on Wikipedia. Huon ( talk) 21:55, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

For the record are you claiming centrist libertarianism and moderate libertarianism doesn't exist? And are you actually reading the sources and what there for or just being deceptive and making straw man articles? LuckyLag360 ( talk) 22:47, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

What I claim about the existence of centrist and/or moderate libertarianism is irrelevant. Regarding the source, you are welcome to prove me wrong by quoting the part of the new source (preferably accompanied by a page number so others can more easily verify the quote) that mentions center-libertarianism and says it advocates "a slow transition out of the modern welfare state once the economy is strong". Huon ( talk) 00:33, 6 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Well it obviously is extremely relevant to this discussion. And I have no plans to address straw man arguments. LuckyLag360 ( talk) 00:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete no sources. The only thing that comes up on a Google News search is the article itself. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 18:10, 5 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep This individual, luckylag360, has the right to post different types of political thought as articles, especially if it will add more in depth information to the subject matter. There are different forms of liberalism and conservatism, whether it would be radical social liberalism or moderate social liberalism, to radical cultural conservatism or moderate cultural conservatism. These subjects by themselves should be articles within Wikipedia's library of information. Just as there are extremists and moderates on both the left and right political spectrums respectively, there are indeed extremists and moderates within the libertarian political spectrum. I do not see any justification as to delete an article that gives another perspective in the philosophy of libertarianism. In fact, this would be a violation to his 1st amendment right to freedom of speech and press. I demand that luckylag360 have his right to free speech and press be respected to the fullest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhantomRaider95 ( talk • contribs) 03:41, 6 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete. It's pretty clearly a POV fork. The sources were rejected at Talk:Libertarianism, and LuckyLag360 instead wrote this article to push his or her POV. Once better sources are found, it can be discussed at the main article once again. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk)
Delete. I don't think this is a matter of whether or not this sect of libertarianism exists or not, it's more so the fact that the article doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards in the first place. To have an article allowed you need a certain criteria of sources. This article cites directly from the one piece of literature online that already exists about center-libertariansim. It then goes on to cite individuals from entirely different political scopes as "references". Yes, while there are varying degrees of political thought inside libertarianism, this isn't oppressing free speech to say this specific article needs heavily modification before it can be allowed. Like others have said it's very much the views of one person. Until that can be changed, this article should be deleted. Revision and peer-editing is necessary before a new article on this topic is created. Semmendinger ( talk) 16:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC) reply
~~Keep~~ I've been a silent observer of this hole thing until now. I've noticed Huon has been trying to get luckylag360 banned as well as hounding him multiple times, however luckylag360 has not acted correctly and deservedly so got banned for two weeks for his retaliation edits. However this article clearly meets wikipedia standards and is an important article. Therefor it should not be deleted.

Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship

I was on the verge of nominating for speedy deletion as unnotable organization, but I found this source, so the topic notability is not as bad as one would expect from the article in its current form. Still, I do not think the topic meets WP:ORG. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 15:44, 26 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete basically fails WP:ORG — Oluwa2Chainz »» ( talk to me) 16:43, 26 October 2016 (UTC) reply
The article in its current form is an exact copy of the group's website, so we have a copyvio issue too. In terms of article quality, I would support a delete, though in terms of notability, I am not so sure.

The organization is listed on a U.S. government website [17] with Nigeria partners, and there appears to be some news coverage [18] [19] [20]. I must add that I really cannot assess the quality of either of these sources though. -- 84.190.88.113 ( talk) 17:04, 26 October 2016 (UTC) reply
