Properly translated, it should read something likeต่อมาในปีพุทธศักราช 2511 ความงามแบบฉบับของสาวไทยของ "อภันตรี ประยุทธ์เสนีย์" ดีกรีนักเรียนนอกจากปีนัง ยังเข้าตากรรมการ สามารถทะลุเข้าไปในรอบ 15 คนสุดท้ายของเวทีมิสยูนิเวิร์สในปีนั้นได้สำเร็จ ซึ่งแม้จะไม่สามารถคว้าชัยกลับบ้านได้ แต่ก็ช่วยสร้างภาพลักษณ์ใหม่ให้กับสาวไทย ที่มีความทันสมัยและสามารถสื่อสารภาษาอังกฤษได้อย่างคล่องแคล่ว
You wouldn't know though if you relied on Google's translation, which reads:Later, in 1968, the Thai-style beauty of "Apantree Prayutsenee"—with a foreign degree from Penang—also charmed the judges and took her to the round of 15 in that year's Miss Universe pageant. Though she didn't win the contest, she nevertheless helped build a new image for Thai ladies, that of a modern woman fluently conversant in English."
Later in the year AD 2511 beauty typical of Thailand's Girl "by Pat Prayut Seni bachelor's" degree students in Penang. The eyes of Can penetrate into the 15 finalists of Miss Universe that year successfully. Although unable to win back home. It helped create a new image for the girl Thailand. With a modern and able to speak English fluently.
It says:นิรุตติ์ เข้าสู่วงการบันเทิงด้วยการชักชวนของ เทิ่ง สติเฟื่อง สู่วงการแสดงละครทีวี ละครเรื่องแรกคือ แสงสูรย์ รับบทพระรอง โดยมีภิญโญ ทองเจือ เป็นพระเอก คู่กับ อภันตรี ประยุทธเสนี อดีตนางสาวไทย ออกฉายทางทีวีช่อง 7 ยุคขาว-ดำ
The corresponding passage in the Google Translated version is this:Nirut entered the entertainment industry by the invitation of Thoeng Sati-fueang and had his first TV drama role in Saeng Sun, playing the main supporting character. The series starred Pinyo Thongchua and Apantree Prayutsenee, former Miss Thailand, and was broadcast on Channel 7 in the black-and-white days.

Non-notable and nondivisional NFL "rivalry" ONR (talk) 18:18, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
That's a ton of sources, and most of them actually relate to the rivalry itself - not just individual games. It's not one-sided coverage, either - local, state, and national media seem to agree there is either a rivalry or budding rivalry. Is it enough for a page? I think so. I may actually start work on it to improve it, because the current article just is not very good. Toa Nidhiki05 18:02, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Please read WP:GNG. WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable." It is trivial to perform a Google search and pull a single sentence from a newspaper, blog network, local TV station, or broadcast network and claim the results are sufficient for a "rivalry" article while completely ignoring GNG. That's why we don't have "rivalry" stand-alone articles every time teams have simply played each other and generated routine media coverage, ala:
"Seahawks-Broncos rivalry" -no stand-alone article
"Seahawks-Raiders rivalry" -no stand-alone article
"Seahawks-Chiefs rivalry" -no stand-alone article
This article remains weakly sourced on-point and the coverage being offered is clearly routine. Cheers, UW Dawgs ( talk)
The article notes:
The Panthers and Seattle Seahawks have met so often the past four seasons, it’s almost like they’re division rivals – if not for the 2,500 miles that separate them.
Sunday’s divisional-round game at Bank of America Stadium will be the sixth time Carolina (15-1) and Seattle (11-6) have played since 2012, including the Panthers’ playoff loss at Seattle last January.
The teams will meet again next season in Seattle for a seventh time in five seasons.
The Observer looks at the recent games in one of the NFL’s more interesting – and improbable – rivalries:
The article notes:
Carolina might not always be in the Seahawks’ minds, as James Taylor sang in the 1970s, but it does seem to often be in their way.
For two franchises on opposite coasts and in separate divisions, the Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry in recent years, crossing paths both with an unusual frequency and at particularly critical times, especially for Seattle.
They will do so again Sunday when the Seahawks play at Carolina in a divisional playoff game, the Panthers once again standing between Seattle and the Super Bowl.
In all, the teams have met eight times in the regular season and twice in the postseason — both of those in years in which the Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl.
Six of those meetings have come since Pete Carroll took over as the Seahawks’ coach in 2010, meaning they have faced Carolina more than any other non-NFC West team in that time.
We could just list the games the Seahawks have played against Carolina. Instead, we thought we’d rate them in order of importance.

The article notes:
EDWARD BRETT, the 58-year-old head of Arthur Brett, a furniture manufacturer based in Norwich, says that "furniture-making is a bug and once it is in the blood you cannot get it out of the system".
Mr Brett is the fifth generation of his family involved in making fine traditional English furniture. It all started with John Brett, a chairmaker, who was born in 1815. His son, Jonathan, established the family business that is now world renowned, particularly for pieces in the styles of Sheraton, Chippendale and Hepplewhite. Turnover is around Pounds 3.5 million and the firm employs 85 people.
The cornerstone of the business remains individual craftsmanship. To ensure that skills are passed down the generations, Arthur Brett has its own unique four-year apprenticeship.
...
Notable commissions include replicas for Christie's of its Chippendale auctioneer's rostrum and conference tables for the Bank of England, the Crown Estate Commissioners and a Gulf Co-operation Council meeting in Bahrain.
...
Exports now account for more than 50 per cent of business, and the firm has clients in Japan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Greece, the US, Europe and the Middle East. Two years ago it opened a showroom and office in Pimlico Road, London. "You cannot expect everyone to come down to Norwich," says Mr Brett.
The article notes:
And up at Nostell Priory in West Yorkshire there's a Chippendale library table which the National Trust asked Arthur Brett, probably this country's leading maker of fine reproductions, to make to special order. It'll cost you Pounds 103,694 (the price is worked out the way Chippendale used to do it: by costing materials and man-hours and adding what Arthur Brett calls "a modest profit"), and in case you're wondering, they've already sold at least three. Arthur Brett is the company to ask if you've been left five Queen Anne dining chairs and the sixth is kaput -they will then make an identical one using traditional cabinet-making skills.
....
Arthur Brett, for instance, tell me that they have recently made a precise copy of a William Vile cabinet originally made for Clarence House -it cost the buyer Pounds 100,000-odd but if you're after an original you'd be looking at something like a million.
The article notes:
At the other end of the spectrum, Arthur Brett, a furniture company founded in 1860, has also found a new market in Asia. David Salmon, creative director of Arthur Brett, says British design is known throughout the world for its high quality. "It's the same reason people buy an Aston Martin or a suit from Savile Row: if you want those qualities, you want a British designer," he says.
Like many other furniture companies, Arthur Brett went through tough times when Asian manufacturers started undercutting prices. While many UK firms were forced to shut their doors, the company's tactic was to go further upmarket, raising prices and creating more bespoke pieces.
"We now export 20 per cent of our work to China," says Salmon, who adds that over the past 18 months sales to the US have picked up on a weekly basis. He says that many US customers have grown tired of buying cheap, low-quality furniture and are returning to the notion of well-made, high-end products, which they find among the UK designers.
The article notes:
It will be interesting to see how a sale on February 17 at Sworders of Stansted Mountfitchet appeals to collectors, since it challenges recent assumptions about the furniture market. It is made up of items from the stock of Arthur Brett, the fourth-generation Norwich business, together with their furniture reference library. The business manufactured furniture, at one time employing more than 100 men. After 40 years in business, James Brett is selling its contents, many of them his favourites.
The article notes:
The majority of the metamorphs are models of grown-up sophistication, however. Arthur Brett makes furniture based on classic English cabinetry that conceals high-tech audiovisual equipment. The push of a button on Brett's Regency rosewood commode, with hand-carved, fluted pillars and parcel gilt decoration, summons up a plasma television screen (GBP18,148).

Chronically incapable of getting sources for any kind of notability whatsoever, and quite frankly reeks of trolling. Was hit with a PROD in 2007 which was removed almost immediately without any justification other than the single word 'notable' in the edit log. The account that de-PROD'd it had a single other edit; dePRODing a redirect page with the same lack of reason and the edit log 'notable'. Had no secondary sources of any kind in 2009 when I flagged it for notability, and it is in no better of a state now. Both citation links on the page are dead, and the homepage of one of them appears suspiciously like the domain was purchased with the express purpose of being used as a citation here. Frankly this page is a farce and should probably have been dealt with back when the PROD was removed without justification in 2007. -Joey- ( talk) 20:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I frankly would've PROD but it may simply be driveby-removed, none of the sources here are both substantially convincing and significant, they are simply from that time for a large case about the rapes and the events from them; my searches are then simply finding exact news for this but only from those set times and events, nothing else to suggest there has been anything else convincing after the case was closed, and that's not surprising considering this has in fact not actually changed since then; note the article had to be changed because of apparent copyvios. I also was going to note that although the ChineseWiki has loads of information and sources, the basis seems to still be that what is here is all that exists, now that the case was closed, therefore there's nothing else to suggest otherwise better. SwisterTwister talk 19:31, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
....Having been listed at sex and porn websites is not convincing here for an article nor should it be, the concerns have stated that there still has essentially been nothing aside from this one event, and the claims of not having searched are entirely not so, because I searched as my analysis showed above and others have also noted their own concerns. Simply having been connected to supposed "high-profile celebrities" is not a claim at all for his own actual notability and as the comment above states itself: "they were believed to be" meaning it was all simply entertainment claims and nothing confirmed as facts (therefore any such claims like these are not linked to his own independent notability), and the same can be said about his father, who was never at all actually focused with this event itself, since it was his son who was involved with the legal and law cases, therefore the father's positions in all this is not at all actually convincing for the son's independent notability and article. Never once is this comment above either actually acknowledging the concerns listed, and instead is counteracting, stating that the commenters must not have searched or considered the article, when the consensus is showing there is still none of that of which is needed for his own substantial article, all this was for 1 event and nothing else happened after that 1 case.

Glorified PR article that focuses too closely with not only PR-like information and claims about specifying his career and businesses, but it's actually then not substantially sourced, let alone for notability convincing; my searches are then only finding "news" about mentions, his businesses and then for some apparent law case troubles that led to his being removed from the company positions. Searches at Nigerian newspapers are either mirroring this or not finding anything at all; anything there is here has nothing suggesting the significant improvements we would need, let alone for a nearly notable article.

My extensively informed PROD here boldly removed with the sole changes of adding unconvincing sources, here's why: the first source clearly is supplied with interviewed information by the business itself, see "Mr. Cooley was seen as a great catch. He had been an early employee of New Relic, which does software analytics, and had built the sales team to about 150 people....Mr. Doshi said he tried a couple of executive recruiting firms, which run around $80,000, but had no luck. So he decided to do the job himself.". The only uses of actually mentioning that itself is to fluff and puff themselves, and as always, to woo clients and investors to come and look at their business. Surrounding this listed information then goes to state the specifics about both their careers and then the company's and then stating their philosophy and plans. No honest journalist would add or think of mentioning it unless the intentions were to fluff and puff the (quote) "starting company Mixpanel". The next one, TechCrunch (which is notoriously becoming PR-based by companies) only mentions the flashy specifics about what there is to advertise about the company, with only 7 thin paragraphs, putting aside the obvious company-supplied information, there was no actual journalism efforts there. The next TC link not only consists of funding "news", but it goes as far to actually state the specifics about the what business is, how it works, what it looks, etc. and both being supplied by the company information and businesspeople themselves (quote) "The company told us....", that was hardly journalism there. This same article goes to finish with talking about the specifics of investors, again, no actual journalism. The same can be said about the next one, which is equally PR-based as the other, none of it swimming again from the PR pools it bathes in. The last one listed is simply a guide, granted, to show how it works; it's likely not independent coverage and, certainly not guaranteed to be non-PR. I'll state that my PROD was essentially similar with even stating the concerns about the initial information and sources, so if there's simply additional PR to add, that's not saying a lot at all. Also, looking again at the history as I had before, it shows a noticeable underused history, and this was in fact accepted in 2014, clearly enough time to have improved and clearly enough time to suggest that Review was as questionable now as it would have been then; I would not have accepted at all if it was solely PR-based.

The article notes:
Typewriter art is to be celebrated at a new solo show in Brighton, showcasing the work of London-based artist Hayden Kays.
...
Hayden's work has been featured in the Independent, on book covers and in other newspapers, and also hit the media when One Direction's Harry Styles purchased £20,000 worth of pieces from the artist earlier this year. Plus, Hayden designed the artwork for the Kooks' new single and album.
He's also starred in exhibitions alongside David Bailey and Damien Hirst at the Saatchi Gallery, and has recently published his first book, 'Hayden Kays is an Artist,' which features a collection of his work.
The article notes:
Hayden already has a list of high-profile collectors including Chris Martin, Matt Smith, Lily James, Noel Fielding, Brad Pitt, Billie Piper and Sharleen Spiteri.
London-based Hayden Kays is one of the most provocative artists of his generation.
Kays is both classically trained but ruthlessly contemporary. His work creates hard-hitting messages that could be from any time but speak so pointedly to right now. He seamlessly celebrates and critiques the culture industry with his bold imagery and acerbic word-play.
As a painter, sculptor and printmaker, Kays is entrenched in art history, but retains an unashamed love for popular culture, using everyday references, his work relates to and subverts the canon of the Pop Artists of the 1950s and the Young British Artist movement. He was recently heralded as the man who is spearheading the evolution of the YBA movement in the UK today.
His take on society and pop culture has already caught the eye of art alumni Jake Chapman, pop royalty Harry Styles and film luminaries such as Jude Law, who are all avid collectors of his work.
The article notes:
Link to Jake and Dinos Chapman.Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns — they are among some of the greatest masters who have swapped works of art with their contemporaries. For some, it was a mark of mutual respect, the extension of an exchange of ideas; for others, a mutual rivalry. Or both.
As a tradition spanning centuries, swapping continues today. Jake Chapman, one half of the Chapman brothers, has just agreed to swap certain pieces with Hayden Kays, a pop artist who borrows imagery from mass culture and whom Chapman describes as “acerbic, witty, shallow and subversive … quite brilliant”.
...
Victoria Williams, director of the Cob Gallery, London, where Kays will exhibit this spring, says: “It’s amazing for so established and well-recognised an artist as Jake [Chapman] to be recognising Hayden … and swapping.”
Kays can pick whatever he wants, Chapman says, having himself chosen one of Kays’ sculptures, “This Is Not A Brillo Box”, a variation on Warhol’s iconic “Brillo Soap Pads” boxes.
The result was delete. The outcome hinges on the quality of the available sources. Normally, closers don't weigh in on this, as it is a matter of editorial judgment. But here, we have several "delete" opinions that discuss the quality of the available of the sources in considerable depth, and only one "keep" opinion at a similar level of detail and engagement. Given this level of detail in the discussion, the remaining "keep" opinions must be accorded less weight because they merely assert that sources exist, without addressing the "delete" side's concerns about their quality. In other words, based on the discussion among editors who have studied the sources in some detail, we have consensus that they are inadequate. Sandstein 09:39, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
I still confirm my PROD here which was extensively informed about what the concerns were, yet it was boldly removed with no actual substantial improvements, the sources (like mentioned with my PROD) are all consisting of PR, event listings, company employee information, company achievemebts and investments. None of that substance ties any notability at all, and the gistory itself shows this was clearly touched by the company and likely their PR agents. In fact, not one thing comes close to being both substantially significant and non-PR. For example, also, simply examine the overall nature of those sources, one of them states "fresh acquisitions", I have never seen that mentioned at "news" unless it was a PR piece.

PeopleStrong enables Business Leaders and CEO's in transforming their people agenda. It has implemented some of the largest HR Service Centers in Asia Pacific. They are delivering employee services across regions and time zones for more than 300,000 employees and have hired more than 40,000 employees through a unique technology interface coupled with high end decision making Tools for people data.
The article notes:
PeopleStrong is an HR outsourcing company specialising in HR shared services, payroll management, recruitment and technology solutions.
...
Last year, the company made a strategic investment by infusing capital in Gurgaon-based Integrated Learning Solution Pvt Ltd, which runs an online skill assessment venture under Wheebox.com. Bansal did not disclose the exact amount put in the company but said that PeopleStrong holds a significant equity in the firm.
...
Bansal did not disclose the revenues that PeopleStrong is clocking but shared that it has an order book of $30 million and has presence across 40 locations in India. The company employs around 500 people.
...
PeopleStrong has received $10 million in funding since 2005, the year of its inception. It has raised funding from angel investors like Pramod Bhasin (former chief of Genpact), Santrupt Mishra (of Aditya Birla Group) and Raja Varadarajan (HR veteran who has also worked at PeopleStrong) between 2006 and 2013. The company received institutional funding from HDFC Holdings and Lumis Partners around a year ago.
The article notes:
At a time when the gap between demand and supply of skilled workers is increasing, the human resource outsourcing firm, PeopleStrong, plans to set up a “talent stock exchange” by December this year.
...
The company already has a bank of 40,000 jobs through its different clients, including Nokia, L&T, SRF, Maruti Suzuki, Aditya Birla Financial Services, Tata Sons, Microsoft, Zapper, and Nokia Siemens Network.
...
The magazine notes:
PeopleStrong, on the other hand, started off by offering HR help-desk services to large firms and then forayed into attrition management.
...
PeopleStrong recently worked with an organisation where an external interviewer had earlier identified work-life balance issue in one of its branch offices as a pain-point. "When we studied their attrition, we found the problem was limited to just a few top performers. Overworked and frustrated, they were leaving, prompting their team members to quit as well," Bansal says. PeopleStrong conveyed this assessment to the company, which admitted that there was some problem with the branch head. The company then put in place an action plan that ensured that communication issues were sorted out with the corporate office. "It was our ability to slice the data that gave us the breakthrough which the other external interviewer could not identify," Bansal says. Over the last two-and-a-half years, PeopleStrong has invested heavily in this business; but Bansal refuses to divulge how much.
The article notes:
WiproBSE -0.27 %'s India and Middle-East division is expected to handover its entire staff recruitment responsibilities to HR solution provider PeopleStrong in a deal valued over Rs 100 crore, people with knowledge of the matter said.
...
PeopleStrong in the past has taken up hiring work for Mahindra & Mahindra and HDFC Life, but the proposed deal with Wipro Infotech will be bigger than those. "This is good news and shows a step in right direction that big firms want to outsource their HR work. If PeopleStrong delivers, we can expect more such clients to sign up," said Shiv Agrawal, managing director and chief executive of ABC Consultants.

I do not consider the VC Circle article (source 1) to be "Routine news/redressed PR". I consider it to provide "deep coverage" of the subject by discussing its history, products, and plans.Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization.
A little less than half of source 2 ( Business Line) contains quotes from the CEO. But the non-quoted portions provide significant coverage of the subject. The article is from the news agency Press Trust of India, which is the Indian equivalent of Agence France-Presse in France, the Press Association in the United Kingdom, and the Associated Press in the United States.

Original research. Arbitrary specifics given for a position that, in fact, can have many different sets of responsibilities in different companies and even different projects at the same company. Northamerica1000 removed a PROD tag with the rationale "Seems worthy of expansion, covering various aspects of this term/title/career/position" (and marked the article with an OR tag). But, the thing is, there are no aspects of a position that might be titled "junior software engineer" that are any different from aspects of being a software engineer, about which we already have an article, at all other than, trivially, being at a lower level of skill, responsibility, and expectation. Further, the information that's already in the article may be the description of a position with that title at one company, but it's completely untrue that any of this is intrinsically in the nature of this position, and it might be something very different at another company. At my company, for example, junior software engineers have nothing whatsoever to do with "gathering information about a program's speed, usability, and other various metrics" or with "testing programs". So the article right now, stating that such-and-such is what a junior software engineer is, is a falsehood. Even if someone might conceivably create a valid article under this term some day, the current article calls for WP:TNT. Largoplazo ( talk) 10:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

While consensus did once accept Winnipeg as prominent enough to hand its city councillors an WP:NPOL pass just for serving on city council, the original basis for that consensus (its presence in one of the lists of cities that were formerly present in global city) is no longer true. Current consensus on a number of recent AFDs has now deprecated Winnipeg as not internationally significant enough to hand its city councillors any special status anymore, as it was listed in the "self-sufficiency" class of "honourable mentions", and is not actually classed as a "global city" per se by any external source either.

![]() | Welcome to the deletion discussion for Sandi Bachom. All input is welcome, though valid arguments citing relevant guidelines will be given more weight than unsupported statements; discussion guidelines are available. Be aware that using multiple accounts to reinforce a viewpoint is considered a serious breach of community trust, and that commenting on other users rather than the article is also considered disruptive. |
AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. Reasonable editors will often disagree, but valid arguments will be given more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers arguments or evidence that do not explain how the article meets/violates policy, they may only need a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion. But a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider a dispute resolution process outside the current AfD. |
These two are the only ones that might be halfway decent, but only halfway:

According to posts on my talk page, which I have no reason to disbelieve, as well as edits to the page by a user who appears to be her publicist, this article is requested to be deleted by its subject (see WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE). This is not an argument in itself, but it does incline to deletion if her notability is dubious, which I believe it is. From Google searching, I couldn't find significant, substantial independent mentions of her herself, only these short mentions: [52] [53]. Given this, she could only meet WP:NAUTHOR if her book has received significant critical attention, so let's look at WP:NBOOKS. Again from Googling, I didn't see anything encouraging, except if her book Please Knock "has won a major literary award". It did win an IPPY bronze medal in its category, but it didn't win the category, and moreover there were five other bronzes awarded. So I think BLPREQUESTDELETE comes into play.

Reclosing as Keep. While discussion has focused on the quality of sources, there are no actual delete votes other than the nominator. As this is not a vote: The strongest argument against notability is that the sources used to demonstrate notability suggest they are either passing mentions or unreliable, or as Sitush points out, his authorship of his most widely known work is in dispute. RE unreliable - our own article on The Milli Gazette has nothing to suggest it is unreliable, likewise the other print sources have nothing to suggest they would be unuseable even if they are not widely known. While 'passing mentions' may be correct for some of the sources, some of the passing mentions are for his work, which as Anupmehra references, is enough to satisfy WP:CREATIVE. While this by itself may not necessarily qualify as 'notable' - SNGs are by their nature somestimes less restrictive than WP:V and WP:GNG - taken with the other sources available this would appear to satisfy WP:GNG for the Keep editors. RE 'His authorship is in dispute' - this would be something that would need to be addressed in the article. As it is generally accepted they did author the work. Lastly, even had all the (as it appears from discussion) opposing editors formally opposed, this would be a 'no consensus to delete' given the strength of arguments on either side. -edit- to take into account edit conflict with Sitush's last comments: A redirect to the poem would be one option that could be discussed on the article talkpage, however it is clear there is no consensus for a redirect in the below discussion.

Re-creation of a previously deleted article that hasn't addressed the previous issues. Fails Wikipedia:N, Wikipedia:V, and Wikipedia:RS. The article is sourced almost entirely from [54], which is not a reliable source; I followed up with the other sources and none of the google book links support what the contributor claims they support. The "Interview of Syed Masood Hasan, Grandson of Bismil Azimabad" source doesn't come up on google. The main contributor translated this article, provided all of the "sources", and then proceeded to "pass" it as reviewed on new pages patrol, using sources that don't support what they claim with the exception of the spiritual world source. Fraenir ( talk) 07:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Interview with the author on September 17, 1995. The poem was written by a poet in Bihar. He was Bismil Azimabadi.- even though it might verify that he did write the thing. (I say might because I seem to recall that this fact alone has been disputed and the source is far from being a mainstream one, while the Spiritual World thing that is cited is not reliable). While it is true that Ram Prasad Bismil used the poem in his freedom fighting, that does not make its author notable - see WP:NOTINHERITED. Finally, based on the current version, the fact that some minor educational insitution has named an award after the guy is utter trivia. At best, and at present, this should be a redirect to the article about the poem. But that depends a lot on getting proper verification that it is not just a load of mirrors and myth perpetuating a dubious claim to authorship. - Sitush ( talk) 08:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Bit of an odd one this: the article was originally created regarding a 1970s division of Warner Bros. Records, but since 2006 the article has been re-written to include an entirely different Pacific Records set up in the 1990s, so the article now discusses two separate record companies, and the distinction is not made entirely clear. At the very least, these should be two entirely separate articles with disambiguators, but I am struggling to find reliable independent sources that discuss either subject in detail, and I am wondering if either record label is worth keeping. The 1970s record company's notability seems to rest almost entirely on a Billboard Hot 100 no. 1 single, " Undercover Angel" by Alan O'Day, but this inherited notability isn't enough to have a separate article about the record label and it fails WP:CORP. The 1990s version also appears to fail WP:CORP, with just this article in a local newspaper: of the four artists bluelinked in the article, two are incorrect links to entirely different Wikipedia subjects, the sole chart entry by Sprung Monkey was on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and not the Hot 100, as you might think from first impressions, and the Steven Ybarra article has been flagged for WP:COI.

My detailed and extensive PROD here was removed with the apparent basis of adding sources, but I myself have examined several single of those newly added sources, they are simply PR and PR-like attempts from the company to seek and establish funding and financing; the fact the listed news themselves are far apart in time that it shows the company themselves simply likely motivated the supposed "news" themselves. The TechCrunch article not only mentions "starts funding" in its name, but the article goes as far to contain "Of course, that’s all well and good, but how exactly is AppBoy looking to improve the discovery of apps, up intelligence on users, and encourage engagement? " No honest journalist would put that unless they wanted to fluff the company and perhaps motivate its own clients and investors to place interest. The AppDeveloper magazine source, I'll note is clearly simply a "report guide" in that it only partly mentions the company in the said company (Appboy) 's own report. The Fortune magazine itself then only mentions exactly what a PR agent places: what the company's business and activities are and what the company's goals are; this exact article then goes through the specifications about the company's own funding and financial activities and then about its services and its status. That article then states Tewari declined to disclose the amount his group has invested in Appboy or whether his parent company uses Appboy’s technology. However, he did observe that a far larger percentage of the bank’s interactions with accountholders are taking place via mobile banking applications and other digital messaging venues , something that the businessperson would be motivated to mention especially if seeking clients and investors, something any newly started and seeking-ground-company would want. That article then continues saying the employees information, where they are located, "It doesn’t disclose its total customer count" is something that is not actually of necessary substance, so it's not something exactly convincing of notability here. The article finishes with then talking about other notable companies and the "needs of customers". All in all, my examinations are simply finding nothing to suggest both independent notability substance and then non-PR based sources and attempts. SwisterTwister talk 03:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Properly translated, it should read something likeต่อมาในปีพุทธศักราช 2511 ความงามแบบฉบับของสาวไทยของ "อภันตรี ประยุทธ์เสนีย์" ดีกรีนักเรียนนอกจากปีนัง ยังเข้าตากรรมการ สามารถทะลุเข้าไปในรอบ 15 คนสุดท้ายของเวทีมิสยูนิเวิร์สในปีนั้นได้สำเร็จ ซึ่งแม้จะไม่สามารถคว้าชัยกลับบ้านได้ แต่ก็ช่วยสร้างภาพลักษณ์ใหม่ให้กับสาวไทย ที่มีความทันสมัยและสามารถสื่อสารภาษาอังกฤษได้อย่างคล่องแคล่ว
You wouldn't know though if you relied on Google's translation, which reads:Later, in 1968, the Thai-style beauty of "Apantree Prayutsenee"—with a foreign degree from Penang—also charmed the judges and took her to the round of 15 in that year's Miss Universe pageant. Though she didn't win the contest, she nevertheless helped build a new image for Thai ladies, that of a modern woman fluently conversant in English."

The corresponding passage in the Google Translated version is this:Nirut entered the entertainment industry by the invitation of Thoeng Sati-fueang and had his first TV drama role in Saeng Sun, playing the main supporting character. The series starred Pinyo Thongchua and Apantree Prayutsenee, former Miss Thailand, and was broadcast on Channel 7 in the black-and-white days.

That's a ton of sources, and most of them actually relate to the rivalry itself - not just individual games.

Please read WP:GNG. WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable." It is trivial to perform a Google search and pull a single sentence from a newspaper, blog network, local TV station, or broadcast network and claim the results are sufficient for a "rivalry" article while completely ignoring GNG. That's why we don't have "rivalry" stand-alone articles every time teams have simply played each other and generated routine media coverage, ala:
"Seahawks-Broncos rivalry" -no stand-alone article
"Seahawks-Raiders rivalry" -no stand-alone article
"Seahawks-Chiefs rivalry" -no stand-alone article
This article remains weakly sourced on-point and the coverage being offered is clearly routine. Cheers, UW Dawgs ( talk)
The article notes:
The Panthers and Seattle Seahawks have met so often the past four seasons, it’s almost like they’re division rivals – if not for the 2,500 miles that separate them.
Sunday’s divisional-round game at Bank of America Stadium will be the sixth time Carolina (15-1) and Seattle (11-6) have played since 2012, including the Panthers’ playoff loss at Seattle last January.
The teams will meet again next season in Seattle for a seventh time in five seasons.
The Observer looks at the recent games in one of the NFL’s more interesting – and improbable – rivalries:
The article notes:
Carolina might not always be in the Seahawks’ minds, as James Taylor sang in the 1970s, but it does seem to often be in their way.
For two franchises on opposite coasts and in separate divisions, the Seahawks and Panthers have developed an unlikely rivalry in recent years, crossing paths both with an unusual frequency and at particularly critical times, especially for Seattle.
They will do so again Sunday when the Seahawks play at Carolina in a divisional playoff game, the Panthers once again standing between Seattle and the Super Bowl.
In all, the teams have met eight times in the regular season and twice in the postseason — both of those in years in which the Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl.
Six of those meetings have come since Pete Carroll took over as the Seahawks’ coach in 2010, meaning they have faced Carolina more than any other non-NFC West team in that time.
We could just list the games the Seahawks have played against Carolina. Instead, we thought we’d rate them in order of importance.

The article notes:
EDWARD BRETT, the 58-year-old head of Arthur Brett, a furniture manufacturer based in Norwich, says that "furniture-making is a bug and once it is in the blood you cannot get it out of the system".
Mr Brett is the fifth generation of his family involved in making fine traditional English furniture. It all started with John Brett, a chairmaker, who was born in 1815. His son, Jonathan, established the family business that is now world renowned, particularly for pieces in the styles of Sheraton, Chippendale and Hepplewhite. Turnover is around Pounds 3.5 million and the firm employs 85 people.
The cornerstone of the business remains individual craftsmanship. To ensure that skills are passed down the generations, Arthur Brett has its own unique four-year apprenticeship.
...
Notable commissions include replicas for Christie's of its Chippendale auctioneer's rostrum and conference tables for the Bank of England, the Crown Estate Commissioners and a Gulf Co-operation Council meeting in Bahrain.
...
Exports now account for more than 50 per cent of business, and the firm has clients in Japan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Greece, the US, Europe and the Middle East. Two years ago it opened a showroom and office in Pimlico Road, London. "You cannot expect everyone to come down to Norwich," says Mr Brett.
The article notes:
And up at Nostell Priory in West Yorkshire there's a Chippendale library table which the National Trust asked Arthur Brett, probably this country's leading maker of fine reproductions, to make to special order. It'll cost you Pounds 103,694 (the price is worked out the way Chippendale used to do it: by costing materials and man-hours and adding what Arthur Brett calls "a modest profit"), and in case you're wondering, they've already sold at least three. Arthur Brett is the company to ask if you've been left five Queen Anne dining chairs and the sixth is kaput -they will then make an identical one using traditional cabinet-making skills.
....
Arthur Brett, for instance, tell me that they have recently made a precise copy of a William Vile cabinet originally made for Clarence House -it cost the buyer Pounds 100,000-odd but if you're after an original you'd be looking at something like a million.
The article notes:
At the other end of the spectrum, Arthur Brett, a furniture company founded in 1860, has also found a new market in Asia. David Salmon, creative director of Arthur Brett, says British design is known throughout the world for its high quality. "It's the same reason people buy an Aston Martin or a suit from Savile Row: if you want those qualities, you want a British designer," he says.
Like many other furniture companies, Arthur Brett went through tough times when Asian manufacturers started undercutting prices. While many UK firms were forced to shut their doors, the company's tactic was to go further upmarket, raising prices and creating more bespoke pieces.
"We now export 20 per cent of our work to China," says Salmon, who adds that over the past 18 months sales to the US have picked up on a weekly basis. He says that many US customers have grown tired of buying cheap, low-quality furniture and are returning to the notion of well-made, high-end products, which they find among the UK designers.
The article notes:
It will be interesting to see how a sale on February 17 at Sworders of Stansted Mountfitchet appeals to collectors, since it challenges recent assumptions about the furniture market. It is made up of items from the stock of Arthur Brett, the fourth-generation Norwich business, together with their furniture reference library. The business manufactured furniture, at one time employing more than 100 men. After 40 years in business, James Brett is selling its contents, many of them his favourites.
The article notes:
The majority of the metamorphs are models of grown-up sophistication, however. Arthur Brett makes furniture based on classic English cabinetry that conceals high-tech audiovisual equipment. The push of a button on Brett's Regency rosewood commode, with hand-carved, fluted pillars and parcel gilt decoration, summons up a plasma television screen (GBP18,148).

Chronically incapable of getting sources for any kind of notability whatsoever, and quite frankly reeks of trolling. Was hit with a PROD in 2007 which was removed almost immediately without any justification other than the single word 'notable' in the edit log. The account that de-PROD'd it had a single other edit; dePRODing a redirect page with the same lack of reason and the edit log 'notable'. Had no secondary sources of any kind in 2009 when I flagged it for notability, and it is in no better of a state now. Both citation links on the page are dead, and the homepage of one of them appears suspiciously like the domain was purchased with the express purpose of being used as a citation here. Frankly this page is a farce and should probably have been dealt with back when the PROD was removed without justification in 2007. -Joey- ( talk) 20:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I frankly would've PROD but it may simply be driveby-removed, none of the sources here are both substantially convincing and significant, they are simply from that time for a large case about the rapes and the events from them; my searches are then simply finding exact news for this but only from those set times and events, nothing else to suggest there has been anything else convincing after the case was closed, and that's not surprising considering this has in fact not actually changed since then; note the article had to be changed because of apparent copyvios. I also was going to note that although the ChineseWiki has loads of information and sources, the basis seems to still be that what is here is all that exists, now that the case was closed, therefore there's nothing else to suggest otherwise better. SwisterTwister talk 19:31, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
....Having been listed at sex and porn websites is not convincing here for an article nor should it be, the concerns have stated that there still has essentially been nothing aside from this one event, and the claims of not having searched are entirely not so, because I searched as my analysis showed above and others have also noted their own concerns. Simply having been connected to supposed "high-profile celebrities" is not a claim at all for his own actual notability and as the comment above states itself: "they were believed to be" meaning it was all simply entertainment claims and nothing confirmed as facts (therefore any such claims like these are not linked to his own independent notability), and the same can be said about his father, who was never at all actually focused with this event itself, since it was his son who was involved with the legal and law cases, therefore the father's positions in all this is not at all actually convincing for the son's independent notability and article. Never once is this comment above either actually acknowledging the concerns listed, and instead is counteracting, stating that the commenters must not have searched or considered the article, when the consensus is showing there is still none of that of which is needed for his own substantial article, all this was for 1 event and nothing else happened after that 1 case.

Glorified PR article that focuses too closely with not only PR-like information and claims about specifying his career and businesses, but it's actually then not substantially sourced, let alone for notability convincing; my searches are then only finding "news" about mentions, his businesses and then for some apparent law case troubles that led to his being removed from the company positions. Searches at Nigerian newspapers are either mirroring this or not finding anything at all; anything there is here has nothing suggesting the significant improvements we would need, let alone for a nearly notable article.

My extensively informed PROD here boldly removed with the sole changes of adding unconvincing sources, here's why: the first source clearly is supplied with interviewed information by the business itself, see "Mr. Cooley was seen as a great catch. He had been an early employee of New Relic, which does software analytics, and had built the sales team to about 150 people....Mr. Doshi said he tried a couple of executive recruiting firms, which run around $80,000, but had no luck. So he decided to do the job himself.". The only uses of actually mentioning that itself is to fluff and puff themselves, and as always, to woo clients and investors to come and look at their business. Surrounding this listed information then goes to state the specifics about both their careers and then the company's and then stating their philosophy and plans. No honest journalist would add or think of mentioning it unless the intentions were to fluff and puff the (quote) "starting company Mixpanel". The next one, TechCrunch (which is notoriously becoming PR-based by companies) only mentions the flashy specifics about what there is to advertise about the company, with only 7 thin paragraphs, putting aside the obvious company-supplied information, there was no actual journalism efforts there. The next TC link not only consists of funding "news", but it goes as far to actually state the specifics about the what business is, how it works, what it looks, etc. and both being supplied by the company information and businesspeople themselves (quote) "The company told us....", that was hardly journalism there. This same article goes to finish with talking about the specifics of investors, again, no actual journalism. The same can be said about the next one, which is equally PR-based as the other, none of it swimming again from the PR pools it bathes in. The last one listed is simply a guide, granted, to show how it works; it's likely not independent coverage and, certainly not guaranteed to be non-PR. I'll state that my PROD was essentially similar with even stating the concerns about the initial information and sources, so if there's simply additional PR to add, that's not saying a lot at all. Also, looking again at the history as I had before, it shows a noticeable underused history, and this was in fact accepted in 2014, clearly enough time to have improved and clearly enough time to suggest that Review was as questionable now as it would have been then; I would not have accepted at all if it was solely PR-based.

The article notes:
Typewriter art is to be celebrated at a new solo show in Brighton, showcasing the work of London-based artist Hayden Kays.
...
Hayden's work has been featured in the Independent, on book covers and in other newspapers, and also hit the media when One Direction's Harry Styles purchased £20,000 worth of pieces from the artist earlier this year. Plus, Hayden designed the artwork for the Kooks' new single and album.
He's also starred in exhibitions alongside David Bailey and Damien Hirst at the Saatchi Gallery, and has recently published his first book, 'Hayden Kays is an Artist,' which features a collection of his work.
The article notes:
Hayden already has a list of high-profile collectors including Chris Martin, Matt Smith, Lily James, Noel Fielding, Brad Pitt, Billie Piper and Sharleen Spiteri.
London-based Hayden Kays is one of the most provocative artists of his generation.
Kays is both classically trained but ruthlessly contemporary. His work creates hard-hitting messages that could be from any time but speak so pointedly to right now. He seamlessly celebrates and critiques the culture industry with his bold imagery and acerbic word-play.
As a painter, sculptor and printmaker, Kays is entrenched in art history, but retains an unashamed love for popular culture, using everyday references, his work relates to and subverts the canon of the Pop Artists of the 1950s and the Young British Artist movement. He was recently heralded as the man who is spearheading the evolution of the YBA movement in the UK today.
His take on society and pop culture has already caught the eye of art alumni Jake Chapman, pop royalty Harry Styles and film luminaries such as Jude Law, who are all avid collectors of his work.
The article notes:
Link to Jake and Dinos Chapman.Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns — they are among some of the greatest masters who have swapped works of art with their contemporaries. For some, it was a mark of mutual respect, the extension of an exchange of ideas; for others, a mutual rivalry. Or both.
As a tradition spanning centuries, swapping continues today. Jake Chapman, one half of the Chapman brothers, has just agreed to swap certain pieces with Hayden Kays, a pop artist who borrows imagery from mass culture and whom Chapman describes as “acerbic, witty, shallow and subversive … quite brilliant”.
...
Victoria Williams, director of the Cob Gallery, London, where Kays will exhibit this spring, says: “It’s amazing for so established and well-recognised an artist as Jake [Chapman] to be recognising Hayden … and swapping.”
Kays can pick whatever he wants, Chapman says, having himself chosen one of Kays’ sculptures, “This Is Not A Brillo Box”, a variation on Warhol’s iconic “Brillo Soap Pads” boxes.
The result was delete. The outcome hinges on the quality of the available sources. Normally, closers don't weigh in on this, as it is a matter of editorial judgment. But here, we have several "delete" opinions that discuss the quality of the available of the sources in considerable depth, and only one "keep" opinion at a similar level of detail and engagement. Given this level of detail in the discussion, the remaining "keep" opinions must be accorded less weight because they merely assert that sources exist, without addressing the "delete" side's concerns about their quality. In other words, based on the discussion among editors who have studied the sources in some detail, we have consensus that they are inadequate. Sandstein 09:39, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
I still confirm my PROD here which was extensively informed about what the concerns were, yet it was boldly removed with no actual substantial improvements, the sources (like mentioned with my PROD) are all consisting of PR, event listings, company employee information, company achievemebts and investments. None of that substance ties any notability at all, and the gistory itself shows this was clearly touched by the company and likely their PR agents. In fact, not one thing comes close to being both substantially significant and non-PR. For example, also, simply examine the overall nature of those sources, one of them states "fresh acquisitions", I have never seen that mentioned at "news" unless it was a PR piece.

They are delivering employee services across regions and time zones for more than 300,000 employees and have hired more than 40,000 employees through a unique technology interface coupled with high end decision making Tools for people data.
The article notes:
PeopleStrong is an HR outsourcing company specialising in HR shared services, payroll management, recruitment and technology solutions.
...
Last year, the company made a strategic investment by infusing capital in Gurgaon-based Integrated Learning Solution Pvt Ltd, which runs an online skill assessment venture under Wheebox.com. Bansal did not disclose the exact amount put in the company but said that PeopleStrong holds a significant equity in the firm.
...
Bansal did not disclose the revenues that PeopleStrong is clocking but shared that it has an order book of $30 million and has presence across 40 locations in India. The company employs around 500 people.
...
PeopleStrong has received $10 million in funding since 2005, the year of its inception. It has raised funding from angel investors like Pramod Bhasin (former chief of Genpact), Santrupt Mishra (of Aditya Birla Group) and Raja Varadarajan (HR veteran who has also worked at PeopleStrong) between 2006 and 2013. The company received institutional funding from HDFC Holdings and Lumis Partners around a year ago.
The article notes:
At a time when the gap between demand and supply of skilled workers is increasing, the human resource outsourcing firm, PeopleStrong, plans to set up a “talent stock exchange” by December this year.
...
The company already has a bank of 40,000 jobs through its different clients, including Nokia, L&T, SRF, Maruti Suzuki, Aditya Birla Financial Services, Tata Sons, Microsoft, Zapper, and Nokia Siemens Network.
...
The magazine notes:
PeopleStrong, on the other hand, started off by offering HR help-desk services to large firms and then forayed into attrition management.
...
PeopleStrong recently worked with an organisation where an external interviewer had earlier identified work-life balance issue in one of its branch offices as a pain-point. "When we studied their attrition, we found the problem was limited to just a few top performers. Overworked and frustrated, they were leaving, prompting their team members to quit as well," Bansal says. PeopleStrong conveyed this assessment to the company, which admitted that there was some problem with the branch head. The company then put in place an action plan that ensured that communication issues were sorted out with the corporate office. "It was our ability to slice the data that gave us the breakthrough which the other external interviewer could not identify," Bansal says. Over the last two-and-a-half years, PeopleStrong has invested heavily in this business; but Bansal refuses to divulge how much.
The article notes:
WiproBSE -0.27 %'s India and Middle-East division is expected to handover its entire staff recruitment responsibilities to HR solution provider PeopleStrong in a deal valued over Rs 100 crore, people with knowledge of the matter said.
...
PeopleStrong in the past has taken up hiring work for Mahindra & Mahindra and HDFC Life, but the proposed deal with Wipro Infotech will be bigger than those. "This is good news and shows a step in right direction that big firms want to outsource their HR work. If PeopleStrong delivers, we can expect more such clients to sign up," said Shiv Agrawal, managing director and chief executive of ABC Consultants. The staffing firm's fouryear-old RPO business is its fastest growing vertical, expanding at 60% a year.
The article notes:
Lumis Partners has teamed up with Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) to invest in PeopleStrong, an Indian human resources outsourcing company. The size of the equity commitment was not disclosed.
Founded in 2006 by Pankaj Bansal and Shelly Singh, with seed funding from Withya Group, PeopleStrong is headquartered in Gurgaon and has branch offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. It provides ...
The article notes:
PeopleStrong, which was launched in 2005, has been witnessing a compound annual growth rate of about 110 per cent each year since its inception. The company aims at going public by 2015.
...
Both Aditya Birla Financial Services and Kotal Life outsource their HR needs to PeopleStrong.
I do not consider the VC Circle article (source 1) to be "Routine news/redressed PR". I consider it to provide "deep coverage" of the subject by discussing its history, products, and plans.Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization.
A little less than half of source 2 ( Business Line) contains quotes from the CEO. But the non-quoted portions provide significant coverage of the subject. The article is from the news agency Press Trust of India, which is the Indian equivalent of Agence France-Presse in France, the Press Association in the United Kingdom, and the Associated Press in the United States. I reviewed the non-quoted portions and did not find them in any press releases.

Original research. Arbitrary specifics given for a position that, in fact, can have many different sets of responsibilities in different companies and even different projects at the same company. Northamerica1000 removed a PROD tag with the rationale "Seems worthy of expansion, covering various aspects of this term/title/career/position" (and marked the article with an OR tag). But, the thing is, there are no aspects of a position that might be titled "junior software engineer" that are any different from aspects of being a software engineer, about which we already have an article, at all other than, trivially, being at a lower level of skill, responsibility, and expectation. Further, the information that's already in the article may be the description of a position with that title at one company, but it's completely untrue that any of this is intrinsically in the nature of this position, and it might be something very different at another company. At my company, for example, junior software engineers have nothing whatsoever to do with "gathering information about a program's speed, usability, and other various metrics" or with "testing programs". So the article right now, stating that such-and-such is what a junior software engineer is, is a falsehood. Even if someone might conceivably create a valid article under this term some day, the current article calls for WP:TNT. Largoplazo ( talk) 10:57, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Delete. While consensus did once accept Winnipeg as prominent enough to hand its city councillors an WP:NPOL pass just for serving on city council, the original basis for that consensus (its presence in one of the lists of cities that were formerly present in global city) is no longer true. Current consensus on a number of recent AFDs has now deprecated Winnipeg as not internationally significant enough to hand its city councillors any special status anymore, as it was listed in the "self-sufficiency" class of "honourable mentions", and is not actually classed as a "global city" per se by any external source either. And none of these articles is sourced remotely well enough to pass WP:GNG either. Bearcat ( talk) 17:26, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

![]() | Welcome to the deletion discussion for Sandi Bachom. All input is welcome, though valid arguments citing relevant guidelines will be given more weight than unsupported statements; discussion guidelines are available. Be aware that using multiple accounts to reinforce a viewpoint is considered a serious breach of community trust, and that commenting on other users rather than the article is also considered disruptive. |
AfDs are a place for rational discussion of whether an article is able to meet Wikipedia's article guidelines and policies. Reasonable editors will often disagree, but valid arguments will be given more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers arguments or evidence that do not explain how the article meets/violates policy, they may only need a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion. But a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider a dispute resolution process outside the current AfD. |
These two are the only ones that might be halfway decent, but only halfway:

According to posts on my talk page, which I have no reason to disbelieve, as well as edits to the page by a user who appears to be her publicist, this article is requested to be deleted by its subject (see WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE). This is not an argument in itself, but it does incline to deletion if her notability is dubious, which I believe it is. From Google searching, I couldn't find significant, substantial independent mentions of her herself, only these short mentions: [52] [53]. Given this, she could only meet WP:NAUTHOR if her book has received significant critical attention, so let's look at WP:NBOOKS. Again from Googling, I didn't see anything encouraging, except if her book Please Knock "has won a major literary award". It did win an IPPY bronze medal in its category, but it didn't win the category, and moreover there were five other bronzes awarded. So I think BLPREQUESTDELETE comes into play.

Reclosing as Keep. While discussion has focused on the quality of sources, there are no actual delete votes other than the nominator. As this is not a vote: The strongest argument against notability is that the sources used to demonstrate notability suggest they are either passing mentions or unreliable, or as Sitush points out, his authorship of his most widely known work is in dispute. RE unreliable - our own article on The Milli Gazette has nothing to suggest it is unreliable, likewise the other print sources have nothing to suggest they would be unuseable even if they are not widely known. While 'passing mentions' may be correct for some of the sources, some of the passing mentions are for his work, which as Anupmehra references, is enough to satisfy WP:CREATIVE. While this by itself may not necessarily qualify as 'notable' - SNGs are by their nature somestimes less restrictive than WP:V and WP:GNG - taken with the other sources available this would appear to satisfy WP:GNG for the Keep editors. RE 'His authorship is in dispute' - this would be something that would need to be addressed in the article. As it is generally accepted they did author the work. Lastly, even had all the (as it appears from discussion) opposing editors formally opposed, this would be a 'no consensus to delete' given the strength of arguments on either side. -edit- to take into account edit conflict with Sitush's last comments: A redirect to the poem would be one option that could be discussed on the article talkpage, however it is clear there is no consensus for a redirect in the below discussion.

Re-creation of a previously deleted article that hasn't addressed the previous issues. Fails Wikipedia:N, Wikipedia:V, and Wikipedia:RS. The article is sourced almost entirely from [54], which is not a reliable source; I followed up with the other sources and none of the google book links support what the contributor claims they support. The "Interview of Syed Masood Hasan, Grandson of Bismil Azimabad" source doesn't come up on google. The main contributor translated this article, provided all of the "sources", and then proceeded to "pass" it as reviewed on new pages patrol, using sources that don't support what they claim with the exception of the spiritual world source. Fraenir ( talk) 07:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Interview with the author on September 17, 1995. The poem was written by a poet in Bihar. He was Bismil Azimabadi.- even though it might verify that he did write the thing. (I say might because I seem to recall that this fact alone has been disputed and the source is far from being a mainstream one, while the Spiritual World thing that is cited is not reliable). While it is true that Ram Prasad Bismil used the poem in his freedom fighting, that does not make its author notable - see WP:NOTINHERITED. Finally, based on the current version, the fact that some minor educational insitution has named an award after the guy is utter trivia. At best, and at present, this should be a redirect to the article about the poem. But that depends a lot on getting proper verification that it is not just a load of mirrors and myth perpetuating a dubious claim to authorship. - Sitush ( talk) 08:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I hope we have progressed beyond such baseless assertions, and I do not see how this minor magazine meets Wikipedia:Notability (media) or GNG. Thoughts?

Promotional, non-notable, (and almost indecipherable), All references seem to be from inside the movement. AfD1 ended in delete, but with limitedparticipationand the closing admin chose to interpret it as a Prod. DGG ( talk ) 22:22, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Fails GNG, does not meet relevant sports guidelines. This is a short-season summer baseball league whose players are limited to NCAA-eligible college players only. It is not a professional league, and does not have professional players. It is also very local; it only has teams in New York State. There appears to be no coverage outside of the league and team websites. Unlike the Cape Cod League, it seems to have no MLB backing or affiliation that would make it noteworthy as a feeder league.

Bit of an odd one this: the article was originally created regarding a 1970s division of Warner Bros. Records, but since 2006 the article has been re-written to include an entirely different Pacific Records set up in the 1990s, so the article now discusses two separate record companies, and the distinction is not made entirely clear. At the very least, these should be two entirely separate articles with disambiguators, but I am struggling to find reliable independent sources that discuss either subject in detail, and I am wondering if either record label is worth keeping. The 1970s record company's notability seems to rest almost entirely on a Billboard Hot 100 no. 1 single, " Undercover Angel" by Alan O'Day, but this inherited notability isn't enough to have a separate article about the record label and it fails WP:CORP. The 1990s version also appears to fail WP:CORP, with just this article in a local newspaper: of the four artists bluelinked in the article, two are incorrect links to entirely different Wikipedia subjects, the sole chart entry by Sprung Monkey was on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and not the Hot 100, as you might think from first impressions, and the Steven Ybarra article has been flagged for WP:COI.

The result was no consensus. As in other recent cases, opinions are divided about whether the sources are sufficient for an article or whether they and the article itself are merely a promotional exercise. Sandstein 19:15, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
My detailed and extensive PROD here was removed with the apparent basis of adding sources, but I myself have examined several single of those newly added sources, they are simply PR and PR-like attempts from the company to seek and establish funding and financing; the fact the listed news themselves are far apart in time that it shows the company themselves simply likely motivated the supposed "news" themselves. The TechCrunch article not only mentions "starts funding" in its name, but the article goes as far to contain "Of course, that’s all well and good, but how exactly is AppBoy looking to improve the discovery of apps, up intelligence on users, and encourage engagement? " No honest journalist would put that unless they wanted to fluff the company and perhaps motivate its own clients and investors to place interest. The AppDeveloper magazine source, I'll note is clearly simply a "report guide" in that it only partly mentions the company in the said company (Appboy) 's own report. The Fortune magazine itself then only mentions exactly what a PR agent places: what the company's business and activities are and what the company's goals are; this exact article then goes through the specifications about the company's own funding and financial activities and then about its services and its status. That article then states Tewari declined to disclose the amount his group has invested in Appboy or whether his parent company uses Appboy’s technology. However, he did observe that a far larger percentage of the bank’s interactions with accountholders are taking place via mobile banking applications and other digital messaging venues , something that the businessperson would be motivated to mention especially if seeking clients and investors, something any newly started and seeking-ground-company would want. That article then continues saying the employees information, where they are located, "It doesn’t disclose its total customer count" is something that is not actually of necessary substance, so it's not something exactly convincing of notability here. The article finishes with then talking about other notable companies and the "needs of customers". All in all, my examinations are simply finding nothing to suggest both independent notability substance and then non-PR based sources and attempts. SwisterTwister talk 03:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Co-founder Ethan Anderson emailed me with a few corrections and clarifications:
- Never plagiarize. Use your own words and make quotes clear.
- Check facts and report them fairly.
- Tell your editor about all associations, activities, and investments that might compromise your integrity or damage your credibility. Should an unavoidable conflict of interest arise, the story will be either reassigned to a different writer or the conflict will be disclosed to the public.
- Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.
Regarding "the fact that they publish literally just about anything", there is no evidence that they do that. They do not have the resources to publish "anything", so like all news organizations, they must be selective in editorially what is worth reporting and publishing.
I reviewed the article and do not consider it promotional after the good work by Northamerica1000 and Safehaven86.
The sources provide extensive discussion of the company's history and products.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Appboy to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
