The result was no consensus. There is a fundamental disagreement in this thorough discussion, per deletion being qualified as per WP:NOTNEWS versus article qualification per the topic having received ongoing sustained coverage, an indicator of having enduring significance (see WP:EVENTCRIT for more information). Both viewpoints have been asserted and debated by several users, as have some other matters. Some of the rationales for retention are based upon the topic meeting the General notability guideline, but do not address WP:NOTNEWS concerns, the latter of which carries more weight regarding Wikipedia articles as part of the What Wikipedia is not policy page. The conferring of less weight to keep rationales that do not address WP:NOTNEWS concerns is necessary herein, and as such, no consensus for a particular action has occurred. Ideas and concerns about the article, such as its content and the potential for a merge and/or redirect to another article, can continue to be discussed on the article's talk page.

WP:NOTNEWS. There's been an unfortunate habit of creating an article for every news event involving violence, at least every event involving violence against Israelis, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This should be merged to List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, July–December 2016 unless some sustained coverage, which requires time, can be shown Nableezy 23:29, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

What sort of reason is that? Zero talk 00:14, 17 October 2016 (UTC) reply
The reason(ing) is this: Since the administrator who closes this discussion is almost certain to ignore all rules (and not in a WP:IAR sort of way, because that policy requires as a condition the improvement of Wikipedia) and close it as keep based on a nose-count, it doesn't matter that I cite policy that says this alleged article is a Wiki-abomination. I might as well vote with the majority. —  Malik Shabazz  Talk/ Stalk 02:23, 17 October 2016 (UTC) reply
According to this logic we should delete half of the articles about events in Wikipedia.Many articles rely solely on contemporary news articles of those events.I don't mind the mind the cleanup but it should be uniform.

It is your routine. And please note, WP:NOT is a Wikipedia policy. WP:GNG is a guideline. A violation of WP:NOT cannot be addressed by an assertion that it satisfies a guideline. nableezy - 03:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete obviously. Apart from the ongoing defiance of policy, E. M. Gregory's attempt to turn Wikipedia into an ethnic exclusive version of Yad Vashem fails here, because the details on the incident in the new article are already far more comprehensively covered in the specialist article dedicated to this violence List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, July–December 2016 (See October 9), which is maintained by myself and User:Bolter21, so both POVs are respected and both editors take pains to ensure the other side's story is duly covered. Thus this is sheer POV-pushing reduplication when not el cheapo forays into quick separate article compilation that looks great on a wiki CV. Please note that in the latter article, all incidents of violence by both sides are set out in chronological context, not according to an ethnocentric bias according to which violence undertaken by Israel is insignificant on wikipedia whereas Palestinian violence must be given intensive coverage. Nishidani ( talk) 07:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • This personal attack is inappropriate. It is also inaccurate. I create articles on events in many parts of the world. The articles I create on the murder of Jews are in no way different from the articles I create on terrorist murders of other peoples, such as 2014 Tours police station stabbing, 2014 Kabul restaurant bombing, or 2016 Brussels stabbing. I fail to understand the accsusation that creating well-sourced articles is an "ongoing defiance of policy." As for Nishdani's assertion that creating articles on attacks by Islamist terrorists that target Jews is an "attempt to turn Wikipedia into an ethnic exclusive version of Yad Vashem," it is not only inaccurate; it is foul. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 10:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: as part of my deletionist approach to non-prominant terrorist attacks, this attack is not prominant, and has a place in Israeli–Palestinian conflict (2015–present). It doesn't need an article. There is no encyclopedic value to this attack. You can't justify this attack with other articles about attacks in France or Belgium and I do not deny the fact some of those attacks (in Europe and the US) doesn't really need an article but it doesn't matter right now. Amos Harel and Ron Ben Yishai both said that this attack might have copycats, but apart from four days of rioting (after a year of rioting) in Jerusalem, nothing really happened. As we already have an article, talking about the phase of violance in which this incident occured, and generally speaking it was forgotten less than a week after, just like most of the attacks, it has no significance.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 11:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • It is somewhat unusual on Wikipedia to maintain a list of events that do not have stand-alone articles. Whereas it is standard policy for articles that, as editors have stated above, pass WP:GNG, to have stand-alone articles, often linked from multiple lists. You, Nishcdani and Nom appear to be arguing for special standards to be applied exclusively to attacks on Jews. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 12:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Sure, Bolter, I and the nominator are anti-Semites. Some might believe that innuendo, but Bolter21 is definitely not a self-hating Jew. This is a policy issue, and ethnic discrimination has nothing to do with it. I don't jump at the numerous opportunities afforded by events to make up cheapo articles on Palestinian victims of Israeli violence. Distaste for the abuse of wiki to such ends, as well as wiki policies on notability (read correctly for durability) explain it- nothing else.As for it being somewhat unusual ìto maintain a list of events that do not have stand-alone articles', um,uh, . . Lists of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, they are documented, despite almost never causing any casualities, minutely. No one has succumbed to the temptation to create Lists of Israeli rocket and artillery attacks on the Gaza Strip, which are just as numerous. Nishidani ( talk) 13:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
DO NOT put words in my mouth. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:43, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • I trust that editors new to this page will judge the content and notability on the merits, evaluating notability as per policy, based on the available sourcing and the extent and depth of coverage. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:43, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I trust that, without much confidence, that new editors will read closely WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTMEMORIAL, and WP:RECENTISM, if only because they have an archaeological value as ancient history and have long ceased to be applied to articles like this. Nishidani ( talk) 14:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Once again genius, Wikipedia policy trumps a guideline. If this article violates WP:NOTNEWS, and it does, it should be deleted. The end. And you make one more accusation of antisemitism I will seek sanctions against you. That type of cowardly argument might work elsewhere, but Im not having it. nableezy - 14:38, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I urge you to re-read WP:NOTNEWS, which encourages editors to crate "to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events", while discouraging articles on routine events, like sports announcements, presumably because ideologically-motivated terror attacks always continue to be discussed. I have, for this reason, recently created articles about events like the 2014 Kabul restaurant bombing, which should have had an article in 2014. Indeed, my very first edit [3] was about a terror bombing that I wanted to know some reliable details about even though it happened in 1906. Now I suggest that since both of you are merely repeating your own arguments, you put down the WP:BLUDGEONS. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 15:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Significant current events. There is an ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. This is routine in that context. Finally, Ive seen you cite WP:BLUDGEON a number of times, and ironically every single time you have done so youve done it AfD in which you had both the most volume and largest number of comments. So please, try to be a bit more self-aware. Because citing something when it is critical of your exact behavior only makes you look, well to be blunt, foolish. Oh hey, look leading the pack once more (excuse my edits adding this page to delsort lists). nableezy - 16:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Nableezy, come on. Your hostile attitude is just so unnecessary. You use insults to make your point come across. It makes all your reasonings invalid. Grow up man. BabbaQ ( talk) 19:13, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Saying a policy trumps a guideline is neither hostile or invalid. Finishing a comment on insults with an insult is, well, is irony the right word here? nableezy - 05:32, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Just one passing glance at the article, for eyes accustomed to this area, will tell you that this is an article russled up by (a) consistent distortion of sources (b) POV-spinning by consistently leaving out information not conducive to the image the editor who made it wants to concoct. I'm busy on other things but here are just a few examples from a random check. It is clear that the man in question committed an act of terrorism, that does not exculpate wiki editors from giving a comprehensive and neutral account of him, and what he did.
  • The attack was unusual in Israel’ (The attack did not take place in israel)
  • Yossi Melman is misspelt
  • Melman writes:'The attack is under a gag order and Melman says it is not yet known whether or not he was a member of Hamas.'
Notwithstanding this, you ignored it to highlight the meme replication from quick wire services that he is a Hamas operative. We don't know.
You've suppressed all context amply given in the sources you cite:Melman mentions that context:’bearing in mind the intensified, poisonous atmosphere, the lack of diplomatic progress, the expansion of the settlements and the weakening of the Palestinian Authority president.’
  • The background of the man is given in the Ma'an article: we give it on the list, you suppressed it. There are zero details on his background.
  • Sources state one of the casualties was a Palestinian from Hebron. You don't mention this. Palestinians aren't significant victims in this mad internecine conflict.
  • The terrorist was known as the ‘Lion of Al-Aqsa/Jerusaslem’ among Palestinian residents in Silwan, not by Hamas, as you put it over. He won this monicker for his activism in defending Palestinian rights to the Al-Aqsa mosque. Not mentioned. Instead we have this local epithet credited to Hamas ‘Hamas claimed credit for the killings, hailing Hamas member Musbah Abu Sbaih, and describing him as a man known as the "Lion of Al Aqsa’.
  • 'The terrorist published a “will” in which he called on Muslims to act to protect the mosque.' Not mentioned.
  • ’The Hamas militant group stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack.’( New York Times( Associated Press) is paraphrased as Hamas claimed credit for the killings.
  • His ‘long police record' is detailed here. That phrase was circulated from an Israeli policed report. No source mentions anything other than (a) a conviction for alleged assault of a policeman, (b) 4 months imprisonment for something he posted on Facebook. You use the police press handout ('suspected terrorist for years', no charge ever brought), and ignore the details, which paint a different picture.
I've never seen any of the article in this area you create faithfully reflect the full content of sources. You give a caricature of selective details, and then wait for someone else, if anyone notices, to fix the travesty, while posting intensely in defense of them as you wrote them. Nishidani ( talk) 16:19, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • BBC: "The militant Islamist group Hamas praised the attack and said the gunman, Musbah Abu Sbaih, was one of its members." [4]. And in the AP/Washington Post story to which it was sourced in the article. Please check your facts before you accuse fellow editors of failing to do so. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 16:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: One of the most annoying drawbacks of the English wikipedia is that AfDs like this one will always end democratically. While a "no consensus" means the article will remain, in reality "no consensus" should determine that the article will be deleted, becuase just like there is no consensus to delete it, there is no consensus to have it. This article does not pass the WP:GNG test, in one spesific point, "independence". This subject does not stand alone, it is just one of the minor escalations since January 2016, in the "Intifada of Invdividuals". Sadly, it seems most of the people who decided to Keep, didn't really talk about the incident within the Israeli Palestinian conflict, but only about the technical sourcing of the article. Malik Shabazz's comment is weird, because he explain his reason to Keep the article with explaination for deleting it.. Bachcell's comment fail to mention the independence of this incident from the Intifada of Individuals, which clrealy it doesn't. Shrike mentioned two analysis articles but they do not give this article more significance - one of the analysis talked about the ambigues gig order and the other said the attack might spark a new uprising - which it didn't. To E.M. Gregory's comment about WP:GNG I"ve already responded above. A not even complete line-comment was made by BabbaQ and Xyzspaniel, which saddens me. So in conclusion, looking at this discussion, there are more arguments against the article, but more "hit and run" comments in support of it, with no regard to the actual subject the article talks about: The Intifada of Individuals, as part of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
To all the people I"ve mentioned here, please, for the sake of not making this yet another democratic vote, please either revert or change your vote according to the above, or explain to me, why is this incident so special in the Intifada of Individuals, that occured in Israel and the PT for the last 12 months, that it requires an article and not a paragraph in the subject's article.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 16:57, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Bullshit, no he is not. And kindly read that yourself. You mentioned BLUDGEON several times in an AFD that saw you have 40+% of edits by count and total size. Again, repeating an admonition that you are a textbook case of is foolish, and thats being kind. nableezy - 18:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Nableezy, using words like BS and foolish, towards another user just makes you look bad. Nothing else.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 19:05, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Im not all that concerned with what you think looks bad. EM Gregory is making an odious argument, one not based on any fact, with an insinuation of antisemitism. That is in fact bullshit, as in trivial, insincere, or untruthful talk or writing; nonsense. nableezy - 19:16, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
But you do care. Otherwise you would not respond. Or continue to use words only for reactions. It is the way it is, good luck with that. -- BabbaQ ( talk) 19:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Not even a little. Like to the entire comment. Not even a little. nableezy - 23:14, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I find it more annoying that users like Bolter21 is argumentative against anyone who does not support his view in an AfD. An AfD is made to reach an overall consensus on an article, not to get to an agreement that delete is the best option. No consensus should not mean that the article is deleted. Quite opposite it is really good that no consensus leads to Keep, so that any concerns can be worked on. It is just pointless to argue or make demands like Bolter21 is doing. It makes his own rationales weaker. BabbaQ ( talk) 18:02, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Bolter21 has a POV diametrically opposed to mine. One thing you can be assured of: if we agree, it will be based on rational discussion and policy, not automatic siding with one side or another. Most of those who write keep invariably on such articles - I only know you from I/P AdFs- just turn up, write keep, wave a policy flag and disappear. People who work hard in this area, and Bolter is among the best, both contribute to article construction and listen. Intelligent objections have been made, and people keep saying keep without an intelligible policy at hand. That is why Shabazz's irony is justified. The only rationale for keep for such pathetic articles is that policy is ignored consistently. We know the outcome, but insist that retention means mechanical consensus from those who do not read the sources will trump policy. Nishidani ( talk) 18:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Pointless to argue? Are you for real? You are presented with strong arguments here, yet you refuse to discuss it. When you have a majority of votes, but you refuse to discuss them, you are exaclty exploiting the Tyranny of the majority, because you are confident enough in the number of votes in support of your view point, so you have no interest in spending your time, when you can manipulate the system to work for you, dispite the fact, Wikipedia is NOT a WP:DEMOCRACY, based on the rule of the majority, and therefore I urge you to be challenged by the arguments presented to you by me and the people who argued aganinst the article, and not simply say "meh its your problem" when asked to do so. If you are unwilling to discuss, confident in the fact there is a numeral majority to your position, you shouln't comment in the first place.
This manipulation is very common, when the "majority" side looses interest in argueing, saying things like "there is no point in argueing, we have a consensus". If you will simply refuse to argue, there will be no consensus, and the article, which according to some, violates wiki policies will stay, and it is the unethical thing to do.
Just answer to my question: Can you explain the significane of this incident in the " Intifada of Individuals"? If not, the articles does not pass WP:GNG and should be deleted.
And this whole comment I make, is becuase of the previous destructive results of democracy in Wikipedia, sometimes changing facts with no source, and then defended by people who claim that because there is or isn't a consensus, a reliable source can't be used, and that the consensus/lack there of, is the ruling, dispite the obvious violation of Wikipedia's policy.
I really don't care about this article, it is just a principal. I am sick of seeing democracy ruling here. If you can't answer to the arguments challenging your opinion, your opinion is invalid in this AfD. I am an Israeli citizen, I have no interest in whitewashing the terrorism that effects my country for the last 90 years, so the allegations of anti-semitism, or your allegations that I am "trying new tactics" because people don't agree with me, are quite absurd.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 18:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I really don't care about this article - OMG man, then why are you assuming bad faith and keep on bickering at any Keep !vote. Your opinions are invalid in this discussion per your comment above and your overall argumentative stand.--18:58, 19 October 2016 (UTC) BabbaQ ( talk)
The rest of your response is just unintelligible rambling.. -- BabbaQ ( talk) 19:01, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep An article should always exist when there is too much information for a simple list entry. Having a list entry should only justify deleting an article if that article only repeats information already in a list. Otherwise the effect is to destroy useful information about an incident for which there is international interest. Bachcell ( talk) 16:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC). (I have moved this new comment down the page. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 17:30, 19 October 2016 (UTC)) reply
Bachcell. This article has less information that the one Bolter21 wrote for the other page. The difference is only that Gregory adds the usual responses sections, which no one ever reads, and are devoid of interest, insight or information that throws light on the incident.

Do me the courtesy and stop using this AfD as an opinion poll then.. if it is like you say. Because from what I can see the only ones that are using this AfD as an opinion poll more than a AfD is you and a few others. Just keeping it real.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 19:34, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • If notability is determined by number of deaths, this article should be deleted. There were two incidents since June in which one person died. Now two people died, doesn't make it more significant. Gregory, answer the damn question, why is this incident independent outside of the still ongoing Intifada of Individuals?-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 20:05, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the fact that shootings in Israel are not as common as in the US, is notable enough. We have mall shootings in the US and articles for that, that we have one or two articles about shootings in Israel shows that it is not a violation of NOTNEWS but it's a notable event and the expanded article clearly passes the keep threshold. 🔯 Sir Joseph 🍸 (talk) 19:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Again, this is not about 'shootings in Israel', a misimpression both you and Gregory are laboring under. Most shootings occur in East Jerusalem or the occupied territories, beyond Israel's borders, and the majority are (see the casualty lists) undertaken by the IDF and Israeli border guards. Nishidani ( talk) 19:58, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Respond to Nishdani, Bolter21. As I just explained at another AFD, We do not decide what's notable based on arguments from principle, rather, we follow the sources. If multiple, major, national and international new sources cover a shooting in ways that meet WP:GNG, and major political analysts and news commentators discuss it in depth, it is deemed WP:NOTABLE. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 20:16, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete, pr nom. (..and though it obviously fails the usual criteria for notability, I agree with the above sentiments that "the usual suspects" will all vote keep....so it is unlikely to that an admin will actually follow policy and delete it. Sigh. Big Sigh.) Huldra ( talk) 23:46, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Nom's argument was that it should be kept only if "some sustained coverage, which requires time, can be shown" And even the most cursory search [ shows that it has been covered continuously since it occurred [6]. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 01:22, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • It is entirely proper to improve, expand article during AFD. And to notify editors her when WP:HEYMANN has been performed in ways that meet objections raised, such as my recent edits demonstrating impact (arrests) and ongoing coverage coverage. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 13:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • When people tell you the article does not pass WP:GNG, it doesn't matter how much you will expand the aritlce. Answer to the question already, why is this incident so special in the subject of the Intifada of Individuals?-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 18:23, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • The size was not that big. There was no major impact at all. We are 10 days after and nothing happend. The size is not big, there are attacks like this one everyday globaly, and even if in Israel it is rarer, it does not make it notable. The sustained coverege doesn't make it independent. There was recently a collapse at a building site and searches were conducted for three days, in the aftermath 4 people died, two of the foreign nationals and there were people pointing fingers at politicians and organizations, yet it is not noteable, it is not an "event" in history, just like this incident. It is not an event, it "just another" one.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 18:47, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I've waited for this attack to have some impact that distinguishes it from many other small incidents and it hasn't happened. No lasting impact = no article. It really is that simple. Also add WP:EVENT to the list of policy&guideline pages which are relevant. If this article is kept, one year from now the majority of Google hits for this event will be Wikipedia derivatives. Zero talk 23:51, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
That is the second time on this page that a shooting which occurred outside Israel's borders, in East Jerusalem, has been described as in Israel. You must have read my correction, EMG. Could you just strike that out: everyone knows it is not true. Nishidani ( talk) 20:43, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Yet another instance of you making things up. Are you at all aware of how many shootings a day there are in the United States? You think we have articles on them? And once again, there is an ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. We dont have an article on each roadside bombing during the Iraq War either. We do have a a list for each year though. Please stop lying about other editors, thank you. nableezy - 20:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Ha! Sheikh Jarrah is in East Jeruslaem. So is Pisgat Ze'ev. And there is no "separation barrier" in Jerusalem. Do you know anything at all about this topic? If so, why are you saying blatantly false things? If not, why are you saying things of which you have no knowledge?

  • No. The attack took place at the Ammunition Hill light rail station in central Jerusalem. NOT in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by E.M.Gregory ( talk • contribs)
lol, that was a response to the entire track of the Jerusalem Light Rail are (sic) in West Jerusalem which is blatantly incorrect. There are, as best I can tell, 9 light rail stations in East Jerusalem. And Ammunition Hill is also in East Jeruslam, part of the occupied Palestinian territories and not "in Israel". That really is not relevant, but you should try to acquaint yourself with the topic a bit. nableezy - 19:53, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Note, however, that one impact of this very recent terror attack is the arrest of Palestinians for celebrating this attack, including the perp's daughter and "Soccer Coach Arrested After Posing With Banner Supporting Jerusalem Gunman" [ [7]]. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 14:10, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

"The arrest of Palestinians" is not a significant impact, given the fact some 8,000 were arrested last year.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 16:52, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - per WP:NOTNEWS. This incident can be revisited in a year or so to see whether it meets Wikipedia:Notability_(events)#Inclusion_criteria, as can any of the many incidents of violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the various 'List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict' articles. A good Wikipedian would be willing to wait until there is actual evidence of lasting effects. I wasn't going to vote but I was persuaded to do so by E.M.Gregory's behavior, which I think is counterproductive. If the article is to be kept there is some background information on the shooter in [8]. Sean.hoyland - talk 17:50, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
lol, youve added Arutz Sheva all over the place, but Maan is not a reliable source? Thats been settled at RS/N, sorry to say for you, and it is indeed a reliable source. But to the point, since you love repeating this, try reading it. WP:BLUDGEON. You currently have 23% of the edits by size on this page and a whopping 27% of the edits by count. So, please, instead of citing WP:BLUDGEON to others completely unaware of how you are a textbook case of it, try reading it. nableezy - 19:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply
It's an RS. If it were not, I would not have provided it. Not only is it an RS, it's an RS that could enhance the breadth and depth of the article for readers. There is nothing unusual about Israelis and Palestinians shooting and killing each other. One of the reasons WP:NOTNEWS policy should be strictly enforced on ARBPIA articles like this, articles about incidents of violence where insufficient time has passed to allow a proper assessment of compliance with Wikipedia:Notability_(events)#Inclusion_criteria, is that they attract editors who don't even try " to provide neutral, encyclopedic coverage about the areas of dispute and the peoples involved in it, which may lead to a broader understanding of the issues and the positions of all parties to the conflict."

  • From what I can see most of those !voting Delete gives a IDONTLIKEIT rationale. All from "pr nom." and then just copying a rambling text about how those who are !voting keep can not be right simply because !voting Keep is wrong without any reasoning for that stance. To lasting impact on an incident happened recently, do you own a magical ball to see in to the future with?. To rationales such as WP:NOTNEWS and that the coverage is routine? Routine? Of course an attack of this kind gets coverage. It is very weak... weak. BabbaQ ( talk) 19:06, 23 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a band, which makes vague promotionally-toned claims to passing WP:NMUSIC ("to great success", "a big hit around Europe", etc.) but completely fails to quantify or source any verifiable evidence that those things are actually true. As always, a band is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because they can be nominally verified as having existed; they must garner reliable source coverage by which their passage of an NMUSIC criterion can be confirmed.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause & Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a newspaper. As an admin know better than me about these things. No different than Indian Startup like coverage. Getting funded. Covered by media once. Business Insider and Yahoo not even credible for citations. Who write those articles, no one knows? are they even real journalist? Like Indian startup cases: about funding, investors, story script given by none other than company officials for publications as they are funded. and eventually a failure. get money, get press, and fail. good to build the name. For such things wikipedia will become grand host for every funded company who gets even slightest amount from any kind of investors and get coverage instantly. There is nothing wrong with Notable startups. But these are not one of those.

@ Light2021: Perhaps as a relatively inexperienced editor, you misunderstand what we do here at Articles for Deletion. Our job is to evaluate whether or not the topic meets the GNG or the various special notability guidelines. If we agree that the topic meets one of those guidelines, then we keep and improve the article. If we agree that the topic does not meet the guidelines, we delete it. Period. End of story. So, when you criticize other editors for focusing on the GNG, that is like criticizing a chess player for attempting checkmate. It seems illogical to me. Please rethink your approach.

  • Delete as a company whose obvious PR methods are both people sponsorships and then also PR campaigns, both of which are noticeable in these links listed by not only having someone sponsor and advertising their company, but then also to state what else there is to say about said advertising; the entire article is in fact a damn advertisement, from "product information to "reviews and quotes" to then to the symmetrical PR sources, simply because the news sources reviewed it, is not saving it from the exact PR it is, in that it literally says "the benefits of this company and why you should buy and use it!". Once we actually start taking literal advertisements seriously and consider them anything but advertising, is when we're damning of course and yet not taking any actions about it. Everything here is exactly what was planned and that's advertising, something that is obvious because the account was clearly an advertising-intended account, and unsurprisingly, was never used again and nor was this article itself. Therefore, by actually seeing there was advertising in the article and sources, we should not be making it worse by then actually offering PR and advertising sponsorships and other company-initiated information, because that's only damning it.

Nope! read this from WP:GNG : Notable topics attract attention over a sufficiently significant time period

Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability. Just as a lagging economic indicator indicates what the economy was doing in the past, a topic is "notable" in Wikipedia terms only if the outside world has already "taken notice of it". Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. However, sustained coverage is an indicator of notability, as described by notability of events. New companies and future events might pass WP:GNG, but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, and these must still also satisfy WP:NOTPROMOTION.

If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual. Light2021 ( talk) 22:17, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The Forbes source is by a staff writer and is 17 detailed paragraphs long. That is clearly significant coverage and Forbes is a highly respected business journal. I read every word. The CNET source is also strong and discusses the software in detail. On the other hand, the BBC source is a passing mention in an article about Instagram, so is of little value in evaluating notability. The totality of the independent coverage in reliable sources is sufficient to establish notability. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:50, 17 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment – Could you provide any evidence that CNET, Digital Trends and Forbes were compensated by Cymbal to publish these articles? Per the actual definition of what comprises an advertorial, these do not appear to be such. Also, these articles do not state "paid content", "paid advertisement" or such at all, as advertorials often do, which various publications state as disclaimers in order to maintain journalistic objectivity.

Forbes article is not questionable. If only "ONE" Article makes a wikipedia page, then we should make this a newspaper or magazine. Can you cite any other references similar to Forbes coverage for being Encyclopedic notable. as per David, he never said every article is non-notable. But one article is not enough to establish the notability. On that note the coverage is already with Forbes. Why do you need to write same thing on Wikipedia. It is not Press Distribution channel.

  • Delete as advertising, WP:ADVERTISING and WP:NOT, considering everything the article lists is exactly PR and PR-based, such as focusing heavily with its clients and business partners, to then listing the company's own information, that is blatancy and this alone for advertising the company itself; there is also no sensible SNOW Keep here because the Keep votes are then not actually acknowledging this or showing any considerations of it; the listed links here are then also consisting of exactly this, so it makes no sensible defenses or claims of saying "PR, it's not PR, but here are some PR sources to make it better". Once we start blatantly acknowledging PR exists but refusing to take actions because of this, it shows how we cannot be trusted and assured to remove advertising when found and needing deletion, this is the case. Examining all of this then shows there would not be any clear signs of confirming an assured substantial and non-PR article, therefore we should and shall not make any compromises.

  • Comment – This short article does not have a promotional tone at all, not even a trace. It is written in an objective and unbiased style, and is entirely free of any sort of puffery. It would benefit from expansion, rather than deletion. Also the age of a topic is not associated with notability. See WP:ITSTOONEW for some examples that delineate this line of reasoning.

It would help to clarify what exactly "per above" means because there has been exhaustive analysis, including showing the PR and advertising sources and information (which goes to the blatancy of republishing company PR), and there is no inherited notability from named mentions.

I've found no evidence of notability per WP:SCHOLAR, WP:AUTHOR, or WP:GNG. Subject (more widely known as Phil Torres) has certainly been active, but hasn't received significant, independent coverage in reliable sources. 8 peer reviewed articles, and two book published, the latter has received some praise but this article currently cannot become any more than a promotional "about the author" blurb at best, and currently seems at least WP:TOOSOON for an encyclopedia entry.

This reads more like a news article and it's speculation at this point. There is no confirmation the United States will do anything in relation to this "alleged" cyber conflict by the Russians.

At least hold it through the election as leaks continue to be published daily and are exceptionably notable. Its not partisan.

  • Merge to Democratic National Committee cyber attacks. I believe the topic at large has garnered enough coverage to be included, speculation or not, it is speculation in major news outlets and real published statements from real politicians. That said, right now the current page just seems to cherrypick some quotes related by the subject matter and toss them on the page. The name also seems arbitrary, and until the definitions of the event seem more clear, I would recommend a merge to the closest related topic, with the current name likely as the section heading. As of now, the US defines this controversy as related to "the recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona." These topics are currently covered on the DNC hack page, although if the US increases the scope of its accusations, then the overlap of the topics would no longer be perfect, and I can see this topic (even vaguely defined) as needing its own independent place.

  • Comment - Article is about cyber conflict between USA and Russia. It involves strong, direct, and fully public statments made between top spokespeople, VPOTUS, POTUS and the POTRF (President of the Russian Federation.) The topic is not about current U.S. election politics. Its about 2016 cyber warfare between two major powers that very much transcends and will exist outside of the US election. The VPOTUS has directly accused Russia of cyber warfare and promised retaliation. The POTRF has directly denied those allegations. Currently, the article should be focusing on the available evidence did they, or didn't they, and how? In time the VPOTUS promised US response is quite likely to emerge. The article is not bound by the topic "the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak" and can't really be shoehorned in there. In addition to DNC hacking there are the 1258 emails sent or received by then-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [1] In addition there are 2,060 emails sent from or received by Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, including full transcripts of her paid speeches for Goldman Sachs [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The focus should be much more on the hacking vs. the leaking. (The hacking is hard, the distribution/leaking is relatively easy.) Who is behind the hacking and how, and what is the covert and official positions of both governments? Cyber war rules of engagement are being established here. Long ago large countries became well armed for cyber war, this is the first time its strongly risen above the radar, the US has asserted that Russia "pushed the button here". Lets hope sophisticated countries don't commit stupid acts of provocation, or bravado, and any reaction to such idiocy are laser focused, highly contained and proportional. Rick ( talk) 18:11, 18 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Note to RjLabs - might you be saying you think the topic currently deserves its own topic because the overlap is imperfect? In that case, perhaps the article is better staying in its current location, with a link from the DNC page, perhaps actually in a "governmental reactions" section or something similar. I personally don't think I'd agree with "this is the first time [cyberwarfare has] strongly risen above the radar," though, or that the event currently has any extra special import beyond its news coverage. China, for example, does this government-sanctioned "cyberwarfare" stuff all the time. But that said, I agree that strong words between politicians and political bodies tend to be notable, as they tend to garner the press required to pass the notability threshold, as with this case. There are major problems I would say with picking a title, but that isn't a problem for AfD per se, and could be tackled on the topic's talk page. I imagine the editors on the DNC hack page might also have viewpoints to add on that, and so it might be good to have that discussion in a place they would more easily encounter. Yvarta ( talk) 15:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment - looking more closely at the sources provided by Rick, note I disagree with making a umbrella topic for all recent hacking related to the US election. That topic seems a bit ridiculously broad, unless a "Whistleblowing and leaks in the 2016 US Presidential Election" was being used to help people navigate to individual events, or included distinctly separate events in a list format. Yvarta ( talk) 15:36, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete::: Not one single government or non-government entity has provided evidence suggesting Russian involvement with the leaks, nor have the leaks themselves been denied, and considering Wikileaks decade long, 100% accuracy for leaks, it makes no sense to dedicate an entire Wikipedia page centered around gossip and slander originating only from one political campaign and it's supporters - Wikipedia is not a propaganda arm for partisan politics — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aheezay ( talk • contribs) 09:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment Above is false. User was found to have vandalized 2016_Democratic National Committee email leak. See the history page. Article is not U.S. party politics whatsoever. It's about the official finding that a foreign country, Russia, has interfered with the U.S. election process, and what the U.S. response will be. Rick ( talk) 14:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. Again, suggest leaving article intact through at least 30 days after the election. Article is getting 200-300 page hits per day per wmflabs.org. Added additional cross references today showing the array of who has been hacked in 2016 (much more than just the DNC, so it doesn't shoehorn into that article well at all). Looks like Obama's email was hacked & materials released, and Kaine & Brazile are announced as also hacked as of today. That's quite an extensive collection of servers / email accounts broken into. Hillary mentioned 17 US agencies concurred that all of this is Russian State hacking but would like to see better documentation (definitive statements from each U.S. agency or a collective release) on that before adding. There are several more well published sources here, so can bring those in over time. Rick ( talk) 03:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment it might be of relevance to this deletion discussion that the likely next president of the USA (Hillary Clinton) stated that the following:

It is pretty clear you won't admit that the Russians have engaged in cyber attacks against the United States of America. That you encouraged espionage against our people. That you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do. And that you continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race. So I think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We've never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election. We have 17, 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyber attacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin. And they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing.

[8]
I also want to note that people calling it cyberattacks doesn't mean that it actually are cyberattacks, however notable people calling it such is notable in itself.
Also I doubt that it could be called "cyber conflict" because it seems like those are rather one-sided cyber attacks. Not sure if "attacks" is the right word here though and whether merging or moving would be a good idea. -- Fixuture ( talk) 21:53, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I've looked at the current page, and I'm baffled by the focus on Ecuador and Assange in the first section. How on earth is that related to Russian hacking, besides the fact that Wikileaks was the publishing arm for the some of the leaks? (hardly shocking, as Wikileaks is the most high-profile leak site available, and a natural go-to for hackers wanting highprofile press). But Wikileaks is not the only outlet that published this information (see The Smoking Gun and DCleaks), and so the current focus seems absurd - like starting an Edward Snowden leak page with a massive section on The Guardian. To clarify, according to current press Wikileaks and Russia are unrelated, excluding their coincidental involvement with silly season in the US this year, and their leaders' stated political preferences. I am half tempted to simply delete all the embassy information for being off topic (and for falsely insinuating that there is some Wikileaks/Russia conspiracy), so we can better clarify what this page is exactly supposed to focus on.

Response to Comment - Need to restrict discussion here to delete/merge. Since above is about content copied above and responded on the Talk page. Rick ( talk) 23:54, 23 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This article appears to contravene WP:NPOV a core content policy. The content reports opinions rather then demonstrating evidence in support of the topic. It also uses WP:SYNTHESIS when implying the John Kerry had anything to do with the Ecuador embassy cutting off Assange's internet connection. There is no evidence that John Kerry was involved and he has denied having anything to do with it. Also, why is this in this article? This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic and there has to be some far reaching tangential connection to make it fit - so this demonstrates wp:synthesis as well. Because this is such a bad fit for this article it appears to be a WP:COATRACK
Also, the article cherry picks comments by assorted people to support its view. The title of the article has a titillation factor and is WP:OR in this context. There is no stated U.S. - Russian cyber conflict in evidence, based on all the sources presented. This is mostly he said, she said, and they said. And the article is quite one-sided, weighted toward some attacks on US entities. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS.

List that's a copy-paste from its single source; almost all entries are red links, the balance are redirects. The list requires that historic names be used, which significantly diminishes the value of the list. WP is not a catalog. Mikeblas ( talk) 16:44, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep for many reasons. Firstly, capital ships are generally assumed to be notable. Secondly, a list of names is acceptable to copy from anywhere, as there's no other reasonable way to express Abiqua .. York than a list of the said names. Thirdly, a list which contains redlinks of ships in a class is useful, as it indicates which ships still need articles. Fourthly, the names can hardly be anything but "historic", as the class was built and used in World War II, though an extra column for later names would be useful. Fifthly, Wikipedia quite rightly has Lists of lists of ships, including for instance a List of Liberty ships (transport vessels) from World War II, which in turn contains lists like List of Liberty ships (A–F), which contains redlinks like SS A. P. Hill and many others. None of these things speak for deletion. That the article could be better formatted (like the Liberty ships lists would be a fine start), better referenced, or better introduced - these things are all true; but AfD is not about editing and formatting.

Delete OR move to Wikipedia: Wikimedia Community User Group Cameroon. 1900toni ( talk) 15:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

We don't want the page deleted. Please can it be considered? We need the information to go out there about the group. Thanks.
Then I have moved it already to Wikipedia: Wikimedia Community User Group Cameroon. Is there anything else to do? Or is it not the correct name space? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alangi Derick ( talk • contribs) 16:40, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I'm no expert on where Wikimedia User Group pages are supposed to reside, [[User:Alangi Derick|Alangi Derick], but now that the page author has agreed to move it out of article space I think this AFD is now moot and I'll close it up. A Train talk 16:59, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

The result was Speedy delete. Removing a speedy deletion tag and replacing it with an AfD notice is not a proper way of challenging a speedy deletion nomination, which is apparently what was the intention. In any case, the article clearly qualified for speedy deletion. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 16:13, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

The result was speedy keep. This is a Snow keep as there are many sources online. The article may need some expansion but as noted, the nomination reason as "unremarkable unsolved disappearance" is not valid. It also falls under notability for criminal acts which makes it notable.

  • Do we have an article for, say, tourism in Lucknow? This looks like utter trivia to me and would do even if it had 100 sources. Surely, one sentence in a larger article would be more appropriate, along with a redirect. - Sitush ( talk) 09:02, 30 September 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Lucknow per WP:PRODUCT: Topic seems to be notable, but it is such a trivial one to have a standalone piece for. It should also be noted that almost all of the coverage is related to the launch of mobile-app, there is nothing about else. So it could very well be argued to be a case of one-event notability. It should better be merged with parent article and a sentence or two can be easily inserted somewhere in there. Anup [Talk] 15:11, 30 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (no need to merge/redirect) This is patent WP:NOTNEWS. An app was launched but the coverage is only about the launch and nothing else. If we go by WP:WEIGHT, this would find no mention even in a page like Lucknow. My suggestion here is to delete this with no need for a merge/redirect. (An extra redirect hanging around uselessly is an extra page to patrol). If this receives a bit more coverage in the future, someone can add a sentence to the Lucknow article and the searching engine crawlers will do the rest of the job. But right now there is no such need. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 08:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/Redirect to Lucknow § Media. This mobile app was launched by the city government of Lucknow, in efforts to preserve "the cultural heritage of Lucknow" and encourage tourism. As such, a mention at the Lucknow article is in order and of value to Wikipedia's readers. Here are some sources too: [15], [16], [17], [18]. North America 1000 16:40, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/Redirect to Lucknow#Media per above sound analysis. I don't see the point in denying the merging of one line which actually received some reliable coverage (the argument that "a redirect is an extra page to patrol" is just too silly to be taken into account).

  • Of course Anup is right in saying that the reporter didn't receive coverage when he was alive. That's why we don't have an article on the reporter himself, it was his murder (on 13 May) that received wide coverage. Here's the most recent article ( 2 October).

WP:INDEPTH: reasonable coverage (mostly "recent").
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE: nope, I rather see WP:ROUTINE coverage.

  • Leaning keep as the murders of journalists tend to be notable. For example, here's from a recent coverage (Sept 2016):
  • The CBI took over the case from Siwan police which said Ranjan's killing was part of a premeditated conspiracy.
If a conspiracy is alleged, then there may be more information as to who was behind the conspiracy; why was the journalist targeted; what impact did the murder have on the journalist profession?

  • Comment David Gerard, Oricon's search page seems to only allow searches back to 2005, which doesn't help us with this 2001 album. But the RIAJ website allows older searches. I assume you can read Japanese, so if you search here for the album's title you can see it was certified gold in January 2001. I don't know how to turn this search result into a useable reference within the article though. The fact that it went gold is enough to satisfy WP:NMUSIC. As it was released on the 24th January and went gold within the same month, I think we can take the Japanese Wikipedia article on good faith that it ranked pretty highly in that final week of January too.
Looking at her list of albums at the Oricon site, none of her pre-2006 albums have any ranking details. But Rina Aiuchi discography says they were all top ten. I note that two of her other early albums POWER OF WORDS and A.I.R. are also currently at AFD. AtHomeIn神戸 ( talk) 08:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
    • I can't read Japanese, I skim by on Google Translate and knowing a bit about music charts :-) If the claim is verified, that's excellent. (I didn't know Oricon only went back to 2005, might be worth noting somewhere on WP:CHARTS.) We don't necessarily need a specific online link to make the claim, though I know sometimes people link search engines and note the search needed to get the result - David Gerard ( talk) 08:14, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete. Two lists of all singles of Australian or Canadian origin to reach the top ten in their own native country in one specific year. This is not, in and of itself, a useful topic for a list -- while we permit lists of #1 singles by country, there's nothing inherently defining about a song peaking at #2, #5 or #10. And for added bonus, the sources cited don't even properly verify the claims -- the only reference in the Australian one is to the sales page for a book of historical Australian sales charts, with no on-site capacity to directly verify the claimed placements, and the only reference in the Canadian one is to the results of an RPM database search, where the search term results in only the charts for January 1980 actually showing up (and none of the listed singles appear in any of them, because January isn't when they peaked). There's also an arbitrariness problem here -- why just the top 10, why not the entire top 40 or the entire top 100? And we don't have lists like this for any other country in any other year, so I just don't see the value in these existing in isolation. Bearcat ( talk) 03:42, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment note - Kent's not just a book of historical Australian sales charts, it's the book of historical Australian sales charts, compiled by the guy who literally did the Australian charts at the time. It's a gold-standard reference for Australian music; that it's not online doesn't affect that in any manner, and claiming so detracts from your nomination. I'm inclined to concur on the rest of the nom, however - David Gerard ( talk) 13:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I didn't "claim otherwise" at all. Referencing doesn't have to be exclusively online by any means — but if you are doing a citation to print-only content, like a book or a magazine article, your citation still can't contain a convenience URL to a webpage that exists to sell the book, such as a sales/promotional page on its own dedicated domain or in an online bookstore. If the weblink doesn't explicitly verify the content being cited to it, then the weblink just shouldn't be there at all — there's nothing wrong with a print-only citation that offlinks nowhere, while linking the reference to a promotional advertisement for the book makes it look like the purpose had more to do with augmenting sales of the book than with being genuinely informative. I never questioned the validity of the book, just the usefulness of linking that reference to a "buy the book" page that doesn't offer verification of the content being linked to it.

  • Keep — Nomination fails to make the case that 'not news' justifies deletion. No evidence presented that it is original reporting, or that it's routine coverage of sports, announcements or celebrities. Enduring notability is indicated by the ongoing coverage after the event.

  • There is a minimum of due diligence for the nominator, prior to starting an AfD discussion, or !voting. See WP:BEFORE, based on the Deletion policy and the Notability guidelines: "before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search.". Now, here you go:
List of citations
*Non-local coverage:
The purpose of AfD is not to rope somebody else into doing this research for you. The proposer is expected to make at least a halfassed effort to find out if the nomination has a snowball's chance, and not waste the time of other editors shooting down a nomination that is dead on arrival. Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions spells all this out in even greater detail, so that AfD discussions don't need to re-post that entire package of advice and and explanation all over again. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:08, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - I voted for the article's deletion in the previous AfD on the basis of a perceived lack of notability, and I was about to vote for its deletion again. But considering a list of references has been provided to prove the coverage is, surprisingly, still ongoing, I am now vouching for this article to be kept. It will definitely need more work, but I guess that's what the list of references is here for.

WP:BLP, with a decidedly advertorial/résumé slant to it, of a local law enforcement officer with no particularly strong claim of encyclopedic notability. Of the six sources here, two are primary source meeting minutes which do not assist in establishing notability per WP:GNG, one is a WP:ROUTINE table of raw election results on the county's website, and the three that are actually to real media coverage aren't about the subject: all three are about criminals, and two of them merely provide glancing namechecks of Stouch's existence while the third doesn't even do that. And for added bonus, this article was "peer reviewed" by the subject himself literally just five minutes after it was created -- which means even the original creator has to have a direct conflict of interest of some kind, because how else could Stouch have known it was here that quickly? (Plus "peer review" isn't about the subject verifying the article's accuracy or not; it's about established Wikipedians verifying the article's conformity with our rules and standards about sourcing and formatting and notability.)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There is a fundamental disagreement in this thorough discussion, per deletion being qualified as per WP:NOTNEWS versus article qualification per the topic having received ongoing sustained coverage, an indicator of having enduring significance (see WP:EVENTCRIT for more information). Both viewpoints have been asserted and debated by several users, as have some other matters. Some of the rationales for retention are based upon the topic meeting the General notability guideline, but do not address WP:NOTNEWS concerns, the latter of which carries more weight regarding Wikipedia articles as part of the What Wikipedia is not policy page. The conferring of less weight to keep rationales that do not address WP:NOTNEWS concerns is necessary herein, and as such, no consensus for a particular action has occurred. Ideas and concerns about the article, such as its content and the potential for a merge and/or redirect to another article, can continue to be discussed on the article's talk page.

WP:NOTNEWS. There's been an unfortunate habit of creating an article for every news event involving violence, at least every event involving violence against Israelis, in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This should be merged to List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, July–December 2016 unless some sustained coverage, which requires time, can be shown Nableezy 23:29, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

The reason(ing) is this: Since the administrator who closes this discussion is almost certain to ignore all rules (and not in a WP:IAR sort of way, because that policy requires as a condition the improvement of Wikipedia) and close it as keep based on a nose-count, it doesn't matter that I cite policy that says this alleged article is a Wiki-abomination.

Delete obviously. Apart from the ongoing defiance of policy, E. M. Gregory's attempt to turn Wikipedia into an ethnic exclusive version of Yad Vashem fails here, because the details on the incident in the new article are already far more comprehensively covered in the specialist article dedicated to this violence List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, July–December 2016 (See October 9), which is maintained by myself and User:Bolter21, so both POVs are respected and both editors take pains to ensure the other side's story is duly covered. Thus this is sheer POV-pushing reduplication when not el cheapo forays into quick separate article compilation that looks great on a wiki CV. Please note that in the latter article, all incidents of violence by both sides are set out in chronological context, not according to an ethnocentric bias according to which violence undertaken by Israel is insignificant on wikipedia whereas Palestinian violence must be given intensive coverage. Nishidani ( talk) 07:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • This personal attack is inappropriate. It is also inaccurate. I create articles on events in many parts of the world. The articles I create on the murder of Jews are in no way different from the articles I create on terrorist murders of other peoples, such as 2014 Tours police station stabbing, 2014 Kabul restaurant bombing, or 2016 Brussels stabbing. I fail to understand the accsusation that creating well-sourced articles is an "ongoing defiance of policy." As for Nishdani's assertion that creating articles on attacks by Islamist terrorists that target Jews is an "attempt to turn Wikipedia into an ethnic exclusive version of Yad Vashem," it is not only inaccurate; it is foul. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 10:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: as part of my deletionist approach to non-prominant terrorist attacks, this attack is not prominant, and has a place in Israeli–Palestinian conflict (2015–present). It doesn't need an article. There is no encyclopedic value to this attack. You can't justify this attack with other articles about attacks in France or Belgium and I do not deny the fact some of those attacks (in Europe and the US) doesn't really need an article but it doesn't matter right now. Amos Harel and Ron Ben Yishai both said that this attack might have copycats, but apart from four days of rioting (after a year of rioting) in Jerusalem, nothing really happened. As we already have an article, talking about the phase of violance in which this incident occured, and generally speaking it was forgotten less than a week after, just like most of the attacks, it has no significance.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 11:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • It is somewhat unusual on Wikipedia to maintain a list of events that do not have stand-alone articles. Whereas it is standard policy for articles that, as editors have stated above, pass WP:GNG, to have stand-alone articles, often linked from multiple lists. You, Nishcdani and Nom appear to be arguing for special standards to be applied exclusively to attacks on Jews. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 12:27, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Sure, Bolter, I and the nominator are anti-Semites. Some might believe that innuendo, but Bolter21 is definitely not a self-hating Jew. This is a policy issue, and ethnic discrimination has nothing to do with it. I don't jump at the numerous opportunities afforded by events to make up cheapo articles on Palestinian victims of Israeli violence. Distaste for the abuse of wiki to such ends, as well as wiki policies on notability (read correctly for durability) explain it- nothing else.As for it being somewhat unusual ìto maintain a list of events that do not have stand-alone articles', um,uh, . . Lists of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel, they are documented, despite almost never causing any casualities, minutely. No one has succumbed to the temptation to create Lists of Israeli rocket and artillery attacks on the Gaza Strip, which are just as numerous. Nishidani ( talk) 13:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • I urge you to re-read WP:NOTNEWS, which encourages editors to crate "to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events", while discouraging articles on routine events, like sports announcements, presumably because ideologically-motivated terror attacks always continue to be discussed. I have, for this reason, recently created articles about events like the 2014 Kabul restaurant bombing, which should have had an article in 2014. Indeed, my very first edit [3] was about a terror bombing that I wanted to know some reliable details about even though it happened in 1906. Now I suggest that since both of you are merely repeating your own arguments, you put down the WP:BLUDGEONS. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 15:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Significant current events. There is an ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. This is routine in that context. Finally, Ive seen you cite WP:BLUDGEON a number of times, and ironically every single time you have done so youve done it AfD in which you had both the most volume and largest number of comments. So please, try to be a bit more self-aware. Because citing something when it is critical of your exact behavior only makes you look, well to be blunt, foolish.

Just one passing glance at the article, for eyes accustomed to this area, will tell you that this is an article russled up by (a) consistent distortion of sources (b) POV-spinning by consistently leaving out information not conducive to the image the editor who made it wants to concoct. I'm busy on other things but here are just a few examples from a random check. It is clear that the man in question committed an act of terrorism, that does not exculpate wiki editors from giving a comprehensive and neutral account of him, and what he did.
  • The attack was unusual in Israel’ (The attack did not take place in israel)
  • Yossi Melman is misspelt
  • Melman writes:'The attack is under a gag order and Melman says it is not yet known whether or not he was a member of Hamas.'
Notwithstanding this, you ignored it to highlight the meme replication from quick wire services that he is a Hamas operative. We don't know.
You've suppressed all context amply given in the sources you cite:Melman mentions that context:’bearing in mind the intensified, poisonous atmosphere, the lack of diplomatic progress, the expansion of the settlements and the weakening of the Palestinian Authority president.’
  • The background of the man is given in the Ma'an article: we give it on the list, you suppressed it. There are zero details on his background.
  • Sources state one of the casualties was a Palestinian from Hebron. You don't mention this. Palestinians aren't significant victims in this mad internecine conflict.
  • The terrorist was known as the ‘Lion of Al-Aqsa/Jerusaslem’ among Palestinian residents in Silwan, not by Hamas, as you put it over. He won this monicker for his activism in defending Palestinian rights to the Al-Aqsa mosque. Not mentioned. Instead we have this local epithet credited to Hamas ‘Hamas claimed credit for the killings, hailing Hamas member Musbah Abu Sbaih, and describing him as a man known as the "Lion of Al Aqsa’.
  • 'The terrorist published a “will” in which he called on Muslims to act to protect the mosque.' Not mentioned.
  • ’The Hamas militant group stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack.’( New York Times( Associated Press) is paraphrased as Hamas claimed credit for the killings.
  • His ‘long police record' is detailed here. That phrase was circulated from an Israeli policed report. No source mentions anything other than (a) a conviction for alleged assault of a policeman, (b) 4 months imprisonment for something he posted on Facebook. You use the police press handout ('suspected terrorist for years', no charge ever brought), and ignore the details, which paint a different picture.
I've never seen any of the article in this area you create faithfully reflect the full content of sources. You give a caricature of selective details, and then wait for someone else, if anyone notices, to fix the travesty, while posting intensely in defense of them as you wrote them. Nishidani ( talk) 16:19, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • BBC: "The militant Islamist group Hamas praised the attack and said the gunman, Musbah Abu Sbaih, was one of its members." [4]. And in the AP/Washington Post story to which it was sourced in the article. Please check your facts before you accuse fellow editors of failing to do so. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 16:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: One of the most annoying drawbacks of the English wikipedia is that AfDs like this one will always end democratically. While a "no consensus" means the article will remain, in reality "no consensus" should determine that the article will be deleted, becuase just like there is no consensus to delete it, there is no consensus to have it. This article does not pass the WP:GNG test, in one spesific point, "independence". This subject does not stand alone, it is just one of the minor escalations since January 2016, in the "Intifada of Invdividuals". Sadly, it seems most of the people who decided to Keep, didn't really talk about the incident within the Israeli Palestinian conflict, but only about the technical sourcing of the article. Malik Shabazz's comment is weird, because he explain his reason to Keep the article with explaination for deleting it.. Bachcell's comment fail to mention the independence of this incident from the Intifada of Individuals, which clrealy it doesn't. Shrike mentioned two analysis articles but they do not give this article more significance - one of the analysis talked about the ambigues gig order and the other said the attack might spark a new uprising - which it didn't. To E.M. Gregory's comment about WP:GNG I"ve already responded above. A not even complete line-comment was made by BabbaQ and Xyzspaniel, which saddens me. So in conclusion, looking at this discussion, there are more arguments against the article, but more "hit and run" comments in support of it, with no regard to the actual subject the article talks about: The Intifada of Individuals, as part of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
To all the people I"ve mentioned here, please, for the sake of not making this yet another democratic vote, please either revert or change your vote according to the above, or explain to me, why is this incident so special in the Intifada of Individuals, that occured in Israel and the PT for the last 12 months, that it requires an article and not a paragraph in the subject's article.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 16:57, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

I find it more annoying that users like Bolter21 is argumentative against anyone who does not support his view in an AfD. An AfD is made to reach an overall consensus on an article, not to get to an agreement that delete is the best option. No consensus should not mean that the article is deleted. Quite opposite it is really good that no consensus leads to Keep, so that any concerns can be worked on. It is just pointless to argue or make demands like Bolter21 is doing. It makes his own rationales weaker. BabbaQ ( talk) 18:02, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Bolter21 has a POV diametrically opposed to mine. One thing you can be assured of: if we agree, it will be based on rational discussion and policy, not automatic siding with one side or another. Most of those who write keep invariably on such articles - I only know you from I/P AdFs- just turn up, write keep, wave a policy flag and disappear. People who work hard in this area, and Bolter is among the best, both contribute to article construction and listen. Intelligent objections have been made, and people keep saying keep without an intelligible policy at hand. That is why Shabazz's irony is justified. The only rationale for keep for such pathetic articles is that policy is ignored consistently. We know the outcome, but insist that retention means mechanical consensus from those who do not read the sources will trump policy. Nishidani ( talk) 18:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Pointless to argue? Are you for real? You are presented with strong arguments here, yet you refuse to discuss it. When you have a majority of votes, but you refuse to discuss them, you are exaclty exploiting the Tyranny of the majority, because you are confident enough in the number of votes in support of your view point, so you have no interest in spending your time, when you can manipulate the system to work for you, dispite the fact, Wikipedia is NOT a WP:DEMOCRACY, based on the rule of the majority, and therefore I urge you to be challenged by the arguments presented to you by me and the people who argued aganinst the article, and not simply say "meh its your problem" when asked to do so. If you are unwilling to discuss, confident in the fact there is a numeral majority to your position, you shouln't comment in the first place.
This manipulation is very common, when the "majority" side looses interest in argueing, saying things like "there is no point in argueing, we have a consensus". If you will simply refuse to argue, there will be no consensus, and the article, which according to some, violates wiki policies will stay, and it is the unethical thing to do.
Just answer to my question: Can you explain the significane of this incident in the " Intifada of Individuals"? If not, the articles does not pass WP:GNG and should be deleted.
And this whole comment I make, is becuase of the previous destructive results of democracy in Wikipedia, sometimes changing facts with no source, and then defended by people who claim that because there is or isn't a consensus, a reliable source can't be used, and that the consensus/lack there of, is the ruling, dispite the obvious violation of Wikipedia's policy.
I really don't care about this article, it is just a principal. I am sick of seeing democracy ruling here. If you can't answer to the arguments challenging your opinion, your opinion is invalid in this AfD. I am an Israeli citizen, I have no interest in whitewashing the terrorism that effects my country for the last 90 years, so the allegations of anti-semitism, or your allegations that I am "trying new tactics" because people don't agree with me, are quite absurd.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 18:54, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I really don't care about this article - OMG man, then why are you assuming bad faith and keep on bickering at any Keep !vote. Your opinions are invalid in this discussion per your comment above and your overall argumentative stand.--18:58, 19 October 2016 (UTC) BabbaQ ( talk)

  • Keep An article should always exist when there is too much information for a simple list entry. Having a list entry should only justify deleting an article if that article only repeats information already in a list.

  • If notability is determined by number of deaths, this article should be deleted. There were two incidents since June in which one person died. Now two people died, doesn't make it more significant. Gregory, answer the damn question, why is this incident independent outside of the still ongoing Intifada of Individuals?-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 20:05, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep the fact that shootings in Israel are not as common as in the US, is notable enough. We have mall shootings in the US and articles for that, that we have one or two articles about shootings in Israel shows that it is not a violation of NOTNEWS but it's a notable event and the expanded article clearly passes the keep threshold. 🔯 Sir Joseph 🍸 (talk) 19:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Again, this is not about 'shootings in Israel', a misimpression both you and Gregory are laboring under.

Nishidani ( talk) 19:58, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Respond to Nishdani, Bolter21. As I just explained at another AFD, We do not decide what's notable based on arguments from principle, rather, we follow the sources. If multiple, major, national and international new sources cover a shooting in ways that meet WP:GNG, and major political analysts and news commentators discuss it in depth, it is deemed WP:NOTABLE.

  • The size was not that big. There was no major impact at all. We are 10 days after and nothing happend. The size is not big, there are attacks like this one everyday globaly, and even if in Israel it is rarer, it does not make it notable. The sustained coverege doesn't make it independent. There was recently a collapse at a building site and searches were conducted for three days, in the aftermath 4 people died, two of the foreign nationals and there were people pointing fingers at politicians and organizations, yet it is not noteable, it is not an "event" in history, just like this incident. It is not an event, it "just another" one.-- Bolter21 ( talk to me) 18:47, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I've waited for this attack to have some impact that distinguishes it from many other small incidents and it hasn't happened. No lasting impact = no article. It really is that simple. Also add WP:EVENT to the list of policy&guideline pages which are relevant. If this article is kept, one year from now the majority of Google hits for this event will be Wikipedia derivatives.

Yet another instance of you making things up. Are you at all aware of how many shootings a day there are in the United States? You think we have articles on them?

  • Delete - per WP:NOTNEWS. This incident can be revisited in a year or so to see whether it meets Wikipedia:Notability_(events)#Inclusion_criteria, as can any of the many incidents of violence between Israelis and Palestinians in the various 'List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict' articles. A good Wikipedian would be willing to wait until there is actual evidence of lasting effects. I wasn't going to vote but I was persuaded to do so by E.M.Gregory's behavior, which I think is counterproductive. If the article is to be kept there is some background information on the shooter in [8]. Sean.hoyland - talk 17:50, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
lol, youve added Arutz Sheva all over the place, but Maan is not a reliable source? Thats been settled at RS/N, sorry to say for you, and it is indeed a reliable source. But to the point, since you love repeating this, try reading it. WP:BLUDGEON. You currently have 23% of the edits by size on this page and a whopping 27% of the edits by count. So, please, instead of citing WP:BLUDGEON to others completely unaware of how you are a textbook case of it, try reading it. nableezy - 19:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply
It's an RS. If it were not, I would not have provided it. Not only is it an RS, it's an RS that could enhance the breadth and depth of the article for readers. There is nothing unusual about Israelis and Palestinians shooting and killing each other. One of the reasons WP:NOTNEWS policy should be strictly enforced on ARBPIA articles like this, articles about incidents of violence where insufficient time has passed to allow a proper assessment of compliance with Wikipedia:Notability_(events)#Inclusion_criteria, is that they attract editors who don't even try " to provide neutral, encyclopedic coverage about the areas of dispute and the peoples involved in it, which may lead to a broader understanding of the issues and the positions of all parties to the conflict."

  • From what I can see most of those !voting Delete gives a IDONTLIKEIT rationale. All from "pr nom." and then just copying a rambling text about how those who are !voting keep can not be right simply because !voting Keep is wrong without any reasoning for that stance. To lasting impact on an incident happened recently, do you own a magical ball to see in to the future with?. To rationales such as WP:NOTNEWS and that the coverage is routine? Routine?

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a band, which makes vague promotionally-toned claims to passing WP:NMUSIC ("to great success", "a big hit around Europe", etc.) but completely fails to quantify or source any verifiable evidence that those things are actually true. As always, a band is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because they can be nominally verified as having existed; they must garner reliable source coverage by which their passage of an NMUSIC criterion can be confirmed.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause & Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a newspaper. As an admin know better than me about these things. No different than Indian Startup like coverage. Getting funded. Covered by media once. Business Insider and Yahoo not even credible for citations. Who write those articles, no one knows? are they even real journalist? Like Indian startup cases: about funding, investors, story script given by none other than company officials for publications as they are funded. and eventually a failure. get money, get press, and fail. good to build the name. For such things wikipedia will become grand host for every funded company who gets even slightest amount from any kind of investors and get coverage instantly. There is nothing wrong with Notable startups. But these are not one of those.

@ Light2021: Perhaps as a relatively inexperienced editor, you misunderstand what we do here at Articles for Deletion. Our job is to evaluate whether or not the topic meets the GNG or the various special notability guidelines. If we agree that the topic meets one of those guidelines, then we keep and improve the article. If we agree that the topic does not meet the guidelines, we delete it. Period. End of story. So, when you criticize other editors for focusing on the GNG, that is like criticizing a chess player for attempting checkmate. It seems illogical to me. Please rethink your approach.

  • Delete as a company whose obvious PR methods are both people sponsorships and then also PR campaigns, both of which are noticeable in these links listed by not only having someone sponsor and advertising their company, but then also to state what else there is to say about said advertising; the entire article is in fact a damn advertisement, from "product information to "reviews and quotes" to then to the symmetrical PR sources, simply because the news sources reviewed it, is not saving it from the exact PR it is, in that it literally says "the benefits of this company and why you should buy and use it!". Once we actually start taking literal advertisements seriously and consider them anything but advertising, is when we're damning of course and yet not taking any actions about it. Everything here is exactly what was planned and that's advertising, something that is obvious because the account was clearly an advertising-intended account, and unsurprisingly, was never used again and nor was this article itself. Therefore, by actually seeing there was advertising in the article and sources, we should not be making it worse by then actually offering PR and advertising sponsorships and other company-initiated information, because that's only damning it.

Nope! read this from WP:GNG : Notable topics attract attention over a sufficiently significant time period

Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability. Just as a lagging economic indicator indicates what the economy was doing in the past, a topic is "notable" in Wikipedia terms only if the outside world has already "taken notice of it". Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. However, sustained coverage is an indicator of notability, as described by notability of events. New companies and future events might pass WP:GNG, but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, and these must still also satisfy WP:NOTPROMOTION.

If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual. Light2021 ( talk) 22:17, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The Forbes source is by a staff writer and is 17 detailed paragraphs long. That is clearly significant coverage and Forbes is a highly respected business journal. I read every word. The CNET source is also strong and discusses the software in detail. On the other hand, the BBC source is a passing mention in an article about Instagram, so is of little value in evaluating notability. The totality of the independent coverage in reliable sources is sufficient to establish notability. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:50, 17 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Forbes article is not questionable. If only "ONE" Article makes a wikipedia page, then we should make this a newspaper or magazine. Can you cite any other references similar to Forbes coverage for being Encyclopedic notable. as per David, he never said every article is non-notable. But one article is not enough to establish the notability. On that note the coverage is already with Forbes. Why do you need to write same thing on Wikipedia. It is not Press Distribution channel.

  • Delete as advertising, WP:ADVERTISING and WP:NOT, considering everything the article lists is exactly PR and PR-based, such as focusing heavily with its clients and business partners, to then listing the company's own information, that is blatancy and this alone for advertising the company itself; there is also no sensible SNOW Keep here because the Keep votes are then not actually acknowledging this or showing any considerations of it; the listed links here are then also consisting of exactly this, so it makes no sensible defenses or claims of saying "PR, it's not PR, but here are some PR sources to make it better". Once we start blatantly acknowledging PR exists but refusing to take actions because of this, it shows how we cannot be trusted and assured to remove advertising when found and needing deletion, this is the case. Examining all of this then shows there would not be any clear signs of confirming an assured substantial and non-PR article, therefore we should and shall not make any compromises.

  • Comment – This short article does not have a promotional tone at all, not even a trace. It is written in an objective and unbiased style, and is entirely free of any sort of puffery. It would benefit from expansion, rather than deletion. Also the age of a topic is not associated with notability. See WP:ITSTOONEW for some examples that delineate this line of reasoning.

It would help to clarify what exactly "per above" means because there has been exhaustive analysis, including showing the PR and advertising sources and information (which goes to the blatancy of republishing company PR), and there is no inherited notability from named mentions.

I've found no evidence of notability per WP:SCHOLAR, WP:AUTHOR, or WP:GNG. Subject (more widely known as Phil Torres) has certainly been active, but hasn't received significant, independent coverage in reliable sources. 8 peer reviewed articles, and two book published, the latter has received some praise but this article currently cannot become any more than a promotional "about the author" blurb at best, and currently seems at least WP:TOOSOON for an encyclopedia entry.

This reads more like a news article and it's speculation at this point. There is no confirmation the United States will do anything in relation to this "alleged" cyber conflict by the Russians.

At least hold it through the election as leaks continue to be published daily and are exceptionably notable. Its not partisan.

  • Merge to Democratic National Committee cyber attacks. I believe the topic at large has garnered enough coverage to be included, speculation or not, it is speculation in major news outlets and real published statements from real politicians. That said, right now the current page just seems to cherrypick some quotes related by the subject matter and toss them on the page. The name also seems arbitrary, and until the definitions of the event seem more clear, I would recommend a merge to the closest related topic, with the current name likely as the section heading. As of now, the US defines this controversy as related to "the recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona." These topics are currently covered on the DNC hack page, although if the US increases the scope of its accusations, then the overlap of the topics would no longer be perfect, and I can see this topic (even vaguely defined) as needing its own independent place.

  • Comment - Article is about cyber conflict between USA and Russia. It involves strong, direct, and fully public statments made between top spokespeople, VPOTUS, POTUS and the POTRF (President of the Russian Federation.) The topic is not about current U.S. election politics. Its about 2016 cyber warfare between two major powers that very much transcends and will exist outside of the US election. The VPOTUS has directly accused Russia of cyber warfare and promised retaliation. The POTRF has directly denied those allegations. Currently, the article should be focusing on the available evidence did they, or didn't they, and how? In time the VPOTUS promised US response is quite likely to emerge. The article is not bound by the topic "the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak" and can't really be shoehorned in there. In addition to DNC hacking there are the 1258 emails sent or received by then-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [1] In addition there are 2,060 emails sent from or received by Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, including full transcripts of her paid speeches for Goldman Sachs [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The focus should be much more on the hacking vs. the leaking. (The hacking is hard, the distribution/leaking is relatively easy.) Who is behind the hacking and how, and what is the covert and official positions of both governments? Cyber war rules of engagement are being established here. Long ago large countries became well armed for cyber war, this is the first time its strongly risen above the radar, the US has asserted that Russia "pushed the button here". Lets hope sophisticated countries don't commit stupid acts of provocation, or bravado, and any reaction to such idiocy are laser focused, highly contained and proportional. Rick ( talk) 18:11, 18 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Note to RjLabs - might you be saying you think the topic currently deserves its own topic because the overlap is imperfect? In that case, perhaps the article is better staying in its current location, with a link from the DNC page, perhaps actually in a "governmental reactions" section or something similar. I personally don't think I'd agree with "this is the first time [cyberwarfare has] strongly risen above the radar," though, or that the event currently has any extra special import beyond its news coverage. China, for example, does this government-sanctioned "cyberwarfare" stuff all the time. But that said, I agree that strong words between politicians and political bodies tend to be notable, as they tend to garner the press required to pass the notability threshold, as with this case. There are major problems I would say with picking a title, but that isn't a problem for AfD per se, and could be tackled on the topic's talk page. I imagine the editors on the DNC hack page might also have viewpoints to add on that, and so it might be good to have that discussion in a place they would more easily encounter. Yvarta ( talk) 15:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment - looking more closely at the sources provided by Rick, note I disagree with making a umbrella topic for all recent hacking related to the US election. That topic seems a bit ridiculously broad, unless a "Whistleblowing and leaks in the 2016 US Presidential Election" was being used to help people navigate to individual events, or included distinctly separate events in a list format. Yvarta ( talk) 15:36, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete::: Not one single government or non-government entity has provided evidence suggesting Russian involvement with the leaks, nor have the leaks themselves been denied, and considering Wikileaks decade long, 100% accuracy for leaks, it makes no sense to dedicate an entire Wikipedia page centered around gossip and slander originating only from one political campaign and it's supporters - Wikipedia is not a propaganda arm for partisan politics — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aheezay ( talk • contribs) 09:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment Above is false. User was found to have vandalized 2016_Democratic National Committee email leak. See the history page. Article is not U.S. party politics whatsoever. It's about the official finding that a foreign country, Russia, has interfered with the U.S. election process, and what the U.S. response will be. Rick ( talk) 14:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. Again, suggest leaving article intact through at least 30 days after the election. Article is getting 200-300 page hits per day per wmflabs.org. Added additional cross references today showing the array of who has been hacked in 2016 (much more than just the DNC, so it doesn't shoehorn into that article well at all). Looks like Obama's email was hacked & materials released, and Kaine & Brazile are announced as also hacked as of today. That's quite an extensive collection of servers / email accounts broken into. Hillary mentioned 17 US agencies concurred that all of this is Russian State hacking but would like to see better documentation (definitive statements from each U.S. agency or a collective release) on that before adding. There are several more well published sources here, so can bring those in over time. Rick ( talk) 03:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment it might be of relevance to this deletion discussion that the likely next president of the USA (Hillary Clinton) stated that the following:

It is pretty clear you won't admit that the Russians have engaged in cyber attacks against the United States of America. That you encouraged espionage against our people. That you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do. And that you continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race. So I think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We've never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election. We have 17, 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyber attacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin. And they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing.

[8]
I also want to note that people calling it cyberattacks doesn't mean that it actually are cyberattacks, however notable people calling it such is notable in itself.
Also I doubt that it could be called "cyber conflict" because it seems like those are rather one-sided cyber attacks. Not sure if "attacks" is the right word here though and whether merging or moving would be a good idea. -- Fixuture ( talk) 21:53, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - I've looked at the current page, and I'm baffled by the focus on Ecuador and Assange in the first section. How on earth is that related to Russian hacking, besides the fact that Wikileaks was the publishing arm for the some of the leaks? (hardly shocking, as Wikileaks is the most high-profile leak site available, and a natural go-to for hackers wanting highprofile press). But Wikileaks is not the only outlet that published this information (see The Smoking Gun and DCleaks), and so the current focus seems absurd - like starting an Edward Snowden leak page with a massive section on The Guardian. To clarify, according to current press Wikileaks and Russia are unrelated, excluding their coincidental involvement with silly season in the US this year, and their leaders' stated political preferences. I am half tempted to simply delete all the embassy information for being off topic (and for falsely insinuating that there is some Wikileaks/Russia conspiracy), so we can better clarify what this page is exactly supposed to focus on.

  • Delete This article appears to contravene WP:NPOV a core content policy. The content reports opinions rather then demonstrating evidence in support of the topic. It also uses WP:SYNTHESIS when implying the John Kerry had anything to do with the Ecuador embassy cutting off Assange's internet connection. There is no evidence that John Kerry was involved and he has denied having anything to do with it. Also, why is this in this article? This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic and there has to be some far reaching tangential connection to make it fit - so this demonstrates wp:synthesis as well. Because this is such a bad fit for this article it appears to be a WP:COATRACK
Also, the article cherry picks comments by assorted people to support its view. The title of the article has a titillation factor and is WP:OR in this context. There is no stated U.S. - Russian cyber conflict in evidence, based on all the sources presented. This is mostly he said, she said, and they said. And the article is quite one-sided, weighted toward some attacks on US entities. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS.

List that's a copy-paste from its single source; almost all entries are red links, the balance are redirects. The list requires that historic names be used, which significantly diminishes the value of the list. WP is not a catalog. Mikeblas ( talk) 16:44, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep for many reasons. Firstly, capital ships are generally assumed to be notable. Secondly, a list of names is acceptable to copy from anywhere, as there's no other reasonable way to express Abiqua .. York than a list of the said names. Thirdly, a list which contains redlinks of ships in a class is useful, as it indicates which ships still need articles. Fourthly, the names can hardly be anything but "historic", as the class was built and used in World War II, though an extra column for later names would be useful. Fifthly, Wikipedia quite rightly has Lists of lists of ships, including for instance a List of Liberty ships (transport vessels) from World War II, which in turn contains lists like List of Liberty ships (A–F), which contains redlinks like SS A. P. Hill and many others. None of these things speak for deletion.

The result was speedy keep. This is a Snow keep as there are many sources online. The article may need some expansion but as noted, the nomination reason as "unremarkable unsolved disappearance" is not valid. It also falls under notability for criminal acts which makes it notable.

  • Do we have an article for, say, tourism in Lucknow? This looks like utter trivia to me and would do even if it had 100 sources. Surely, one sentence in a larger article would be more appropriate, along with a redirect. - Sitush ( talk) 09:02, 30 September 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to Lucknow per WP:PRODUCT: Topic seems to be notable, but it is such a trivial one to have a standalone piece for. It should also be noted that almost all of the coverage is related to the launch of mobile-app, there is nothing about else. So it could very well be argued to be a case of one-event notability. It should better be merged with parent article and a sentence or two can be easily inserted somewhere in there. Anup [Talk] 15:11, 30 September 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete (no need to merge/redirect) This is patent WP:NOTNEWS. An app was launched but the coverage is only about the launch and nothing else. If we go by WP:WEIGHT, this would find no mention even in a page like Lucknow. My suggestion here is to delete this with no need for a merge/redirect. (An extra redirect hanging around uselessly is an extra page to patrol). If this receives a bit more coverage in the future, someone can add a sentence to the Lucknow article and the searching engine crawlers will do the rest of the job. But right now there is no such need. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 08:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/Redirect to Lucknow § Media. This mobile app was launched by the city government of Lucknow, in efforts to preserve "the cultural heritage of Lucknow" and encourage tourism. As such, a mention at the Lucknow article is in order and of value to Wikipedia's readers. Here are some sources too: [15], [16], [17], [18]. North America 1000 16:40, 22 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/Redirect to Lucknow#Media per above sound analysis.

  • Leaning keep as the murders of journalists tend to be notable. For example, here's from a recent coverage (Sept 2016):
  • The CBI took over the case from Siwan police which said Ranjan's killing was part of a premeditated conspiracy.
If a conspiracy is alleged, then there may be more information as to who was behind the conspiracy; why was the journalist targeted; what impact did the murder have on the journalist profession?
I would say keep for now; if there are no developments in the next three to six months, then renominate. K.e.coffman ( talk) 07:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep was a platinum selling album in Japan per a search at the RIAJ website. If anyone knows how to turn the search result into a useable reference I can do the translation.

  • Comment David Gerard, Oricon's search page seems to only allow searches back to 2005, which doesn't help us with this 2001 album. But the RIAJ website allows older searches. I assume you can read Japanese, so if you search here for the album's title you can see it was certified gold in January 2001. I don't know how to turn this search result into a useable reference within the article though. The fact that it went gold is enough to satisfy WP:NMUSIC. As it was released on the 24th January and went gold within the same month, I think we can take the Japanese Wikipedia article on good faith that it ranked pretty highly in that final week of January too.
Looking at her list of albums at the Oricon site, none of her pre-2006 albums have any ranking details. But Rina Aiuchi discography says they were all top ten. I note that two of her other early albums POWER OF WORDS and A.I.R. are also currently at AFD. AtHomeIn神戸 ( talk) 08:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply
    • I can't read Japanese, I skim by on Google Translate and knowing a bit about music charts :-) If the claim is verified, that's excellent. (I didn't know Oricon only went back to 2005, might be worth noting somewhere on WP:CHARTS.) We don't necessarily need a specific online link to make the claim, though I know sometimes people link search engines and note the search needed to get the result - David Gerard ( talk) 08:14, 19 October 2016 (UTC) reply

A slang word. Fails verifiability - only referenced to a TV show review which doesn't actually mention the word.

  • Delete I could be wrong but, without having seen the series, I have a feeling that the character could have been called a "penguin" on account of strutting around in finery—was he wearing a tuxedo at the time?

Delete. Two lists of all singles of Australian or Canadian origin to reach the top ten in their own native country in one specific year. This is not, in and of itself, a useful topic for a list -- while we permit lists of #1 singles by country, there's nothing inherently defining about a song peaking at #2, #5 or #10. And for added bonus, the sources cited don't even properly verify the claims -- the only reference in the Australian one is to the sales page for a book of historical Australian sales charts, with no on-site capacity to directly verify the claimed placements, and the only reference in the Canadian one is to the results of an RPM database search, where the search term results in only the charts for January 1980 actually showing up (and none of the listed singles appear in any of them, because January isn't when they peaked). There's also an arbitrariness problem here -- why just the top 10, why not the entire top 40 or the entire top 100? And we don't have lists like this for any other country in any other year, so I just don't see the value in these existing in isolation. Bearcat ( talk) 03:42, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment note - Kent's not just a book of historical Australian sales charts, it's the book of historical Australian sales charts, compiled by the guy who literally did the Australian charts at the time. It's a gold-standard reference for Australian music; that it's not online doesn't affect that in any manner, and claiming so detracts from your nomination. I'm inclined to concur on the rest of the nom, however - David Gerard ( talk) 13:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
I didn't "claim otherwise" at all. Referencing doesn't have to be exclusively online by any means — but if you are doing a citation to print-only content, like a book or a magazine article, your citation still can't contain a convenience URL to a webpage that exists to sell the book, such as a sales/promotional page on its own dedicated domain or in an online bookstore. If the weblink doesn't explicitly verify the content being cited to it, then the weblink just shouldn't be there at all — there's nothing wrong with a print-only citation that offlinks nowhere, while linking the reference to a promotional advertisement for the book makes it look like the purpose had more to do with augmenting sales of the book than with being genuinely informative. I never questioned the validity of the book, just the usefulness of linking that reference to a "buy the book" page that doesn't offer verification of the content being linked to it.

  • Keep - This article has been through a AfD as early as August. I see nothing that has changed that would justify an AfD so soon again. It has good sourcing, noted article subject. NOTNEWS does not apply here. I would suggest speedy keep.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 07:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep — Nomination fails to make the case that 'not news' justifies deletion. No evidence presented that it is original reporting, or that it's routine coverage of sports, announcements or celebrities. Enduring notability is indicated by the ongoing coverage after the event. Wikipedia:JUSTAPOLICY explains why this nomination is an argument without an argument. See also WP:INTHENEWS. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 15:31, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Nobody is obliged to do anything, but I don't see any evidence of lasting coverage from the links at the top of this page, so it would help if you could provide some examples of sources that go beyond simple news reports. I understand that sources won't necessarily include this exact phrase, so others probably exist. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 18:15, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • There is a minimum of due diligence for the nominator, prior to starting an AfD discussion, or !voting. See WP:BEFORE, based on the Deletion policy and the Notability guidelines: "before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search.". Now, here you go:
List of citations
*Non-local coverage:
The purpose of AfD is not to rope somebody else into doing this research for you. The proposer is expected to make at least a halfassed effort to find out if the nomination has a snowball's chance, and not waste the time of other editors shooting down a nomination that is dead on arrival. Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions spells all this out in even greater detail, so that AfD discussions don't need to re-post that entire package of advice and and explanation all over again. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:08, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I asked a civil question, to which I expected a civil answer. Once again, can you please identify any reliable secondary sources containing significant analysis of this event, rather than routine primary sources such as news reports about what happened on a particular day.

Are there interventions for tripping over WP:AADD? Nominator does seem to have made multiple nominations in the last month that consist of "Just pointing at a policy or guideline".

  • Keep - I voted for the article's deletion in the previous AfD on the basis of a perceived lack of notability, and I was about to vote for its deletion again. But considering a list of references has been provided to prove the coverage is, surprisingly, still ongoing, I am now vouching for this article to be kept. It will definitely need more work, but I guess that's what the list of references is here for. Also, I agree with Dennis Bratland that the nominator has failed to provide a case for the article's deletion beyond the mere mention of WP:NOTNEWS and nothing else, which I personally find weird, but whatever.

WP:BLP, with a decidedly advertorial/résumé slant to it, of a local law enforcement officer with no particularly strong claim of encyclopedic notability. Of the six sources here, two are primary source meeting minutes which do not assist in establishing notability per WP:GNG, one is a WP:ROUTINE table of raw election results on the county's website, and the three that are actually to real media coverage aren't about the subject: all three are about criminals, and two of them merely provide glancing namechecks of Stouch's existence while the third doesn't even do that. And for added bonus, this article was "peer reviewed" by the subject himself literally just five minutes after it was created -- which means even the original creator has to have a direct conflict of interest of some kind, because how else could Stouch have known it was here that quickly? (Plus "peer review" isn't about the subject verifying the article's accuracy or not; it's about established Wikipedians verifying the article's conformity with our rules and standards about sourcing and formatting and notability.) None of this is enough to make a township-level law enforcement officer notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Bearcat ( talk) 03:07, 16 October 2016 (UTC) reply
