I'm renominating this for deletion as I said I would during the deletion review. I'm afraid Mr Renard does not meet the minimum threshold for a Wikipedia biography, in that there is insufficient information about him as a person in the reliable sources. The sources don't tell us his date of birth, nationality, profession, or really any other biographical information at all ---- so it's simply not possible to base a biographical article on reliable sources. What limited sources we do have relate purely to his books. His biography should be deleted. — S Marshall T/ C 21:56, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: The WP:DRV for this article was closed less than 10 hours ago as a near-unanimous endorsement of the no consensus closure of the previous AfD [1]. The closer of the DRV, RoySmith, reminded everyone of WP:RENOM#Renominating for deletion, which states "If the XfD discussion was closed as 'no consensus', generally do not renominate the page for at least two months", and of WP:RENOM#Advice on renominating, which states "When you do renominate, try to make a better nomination statement than was made last time. Address directly the issues that caused the participants to not be persuaded last time. Emphasize the issues that were not sufficiently considered last time. Be warned that some consider renominations to be disruptive, or gaming. Don’t exacerbate this problem by badgering the participants in the new discussion." Moreover, the previous AfD was non-neutrally canvassed (including all sorts of false aspersions) here: [2], and the DRV was also non-neutrally canvassed in that same thread.

  • Correct, but I haven't said anything about the article's condition. What I've said is, in fact, very simple and with all due respect, it's quite hard to misunderstand. If you have any independent, reliable sources that are actually about Mr Renard then you need to provide them.

This is an interesting question about AFD's [10], this all he in fact did was to inform a notice board full of people who had commented on the last AFD, thus he in fact notified interested parties. Now we can also see he only did it on the one notice board (rather then contacting everyone). But is this in fact canvasing? I would ask JPS to not respond to this latest attack on his integrity. Lets not have this AFD go down the same road of tit for tat sniping as the last one. Slatersteven ( talk) 09:21, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete for lack of WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Reynard's books and films are not notable, making it hard to argue that he passes WP:AUTHOR #3. or 4. He fails WP:AUTHOR #.2 because sole claim to notability is writing "books' stated purpose is to reawaken interest in and clarify the core principles of the 1976 spiritual text A Course In Miracles" And also because the books are not notable (I.e., not widely reviewed, cited, or discussed in WP:RS.) That leaves WP:AUTHOR #.1 :"The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." And here we have to face the fact that despite the fact that the article has been here since 2005 and this is the 5th AfD, none of the editors arguing for keeping have been able to bring sources that would establish this point. The books cited in the article are within the A Course In Miracles thought tradition (a small, walled garden) and are not notable books. Nor do they appear to give WP:SIGCOV to Reynard's work. Nor, for that matter, does any source I can find. The items that come up on a news archive search (Proquest) are primarily press releases and event listing talks in local events columns. I can find nothing that approached WP:SIGCOV in a soruce independent of Reynard and A Course In Miracles. Nor can I find anything resembling a published profile of him. Topic fails WP:GNG.

  • Procedural keep per Lepricavark. I haven't evaluated the notability or lack there of but it's way too soon to open another AfD. It's not like there's be a substantial change since then. Yes the previous AFD may have been somewhat disrupted by the canvassing concerns, but it should have been fairly obvious that opening this when the thread which started the canvassing was still there would just lead to the same result. In other words, this thread is just a waste of time since realistically it's only likely to end up with the same result. Nil Einne ( talk) 08:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Utterly trivial author, unjustified article. His notability in connection with A Course in Miracles is supposed to be having written a book based on it, which is too indirect an assertion--I notice it is not even mentioned in the article on the book. This does not meet the requirements of WP::AUTHOR,, which is the guideline here. Of the 4 books about him mentioned, the first two appear to be self-published. The people citing him seem to be mostly related to his movement,. The results of the first 2 afds were so idiosyncratic, and the 3rd was a non-consdnsus. The essay on renomination does not in my opinion represent WP guidelines and WP practice. A non consensus close can be renominated immediately, tho I usually advise people to wait a few weeks in the hope of getting further consensus. (the essay suggests 2 months, but we very frequently renominate sooner than that. ) Yes, I came here after ANI. ANI is an appropriate way to call attention to peculiarities like this walled garden.

Believe me: I understand the frustration of "We just tried this and effed it all up last time! Give it a break!!!" I was tempted to !vote a procedural keep myself just to force some wait time on this issue. But in the end, we're here to decide whether this article has sufficient sources to continue to exist, and the undisputed fact is that it really doesn't. As abrasive as it might be to revisit this: we should get rid of it because it deserves to be deleted. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 16:57, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
No, it's a way of saying why the fuck should we waste our time analysing something now, when we know what the outcome is going to be? Instead we should all stop wasting our time, and actually do something useful which will improve the encyclopaedia. Deleting this article may or may not do so, but it's clear it's never going to happen from this AfD so it's a silly and utter waste of time for us to be here. The sooner people realise this is pointless the better since then they can go back to improving wikipedia. I mean even if you feel there is some urgency to delete this article, this would almost definitely happen faster if this AFD was closed right now rather than staying open for 7 days or whatever, leading to either a keep or a no consensus and possibly another deletion review and so more time before another AFD can resonably be held and probably more acrimony next time. (Let alone compared to the much more resonable situation if this AFD was never opened and we let the past problems die a needed death.) Nil Einne ( talk) 17:55, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
That's not what it means. "Procedural Keep" is not the same thing as "This is a waste of time". I can point to AfDs that were closed as delete where people !voted "Procedural Keep". "Merits of the argument" used to mean something at Wikipedia and, occasionally, we arrive at situations where it still does. jps ( talk) 18:10, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
No, it's a way of saying why the fuck should we waste our time analysing something now, when we know what the outcome is going to be? We do? From the last AfD, a cursory glance would inform you of an obvious "Delete" result. It's only because Ritchie took the time to review the arguments that he realized that nobody was arguing about the article, but about the behavioral accusations. Even if one trims those out, we're left with the "Delete" side arguing "There's no notability, check these search results." and the "Keep" side arguing "Shut up!!!1!" So that seems like an obvious "Delete" to me, as well. But then, look at the !votes here... So I'm not sure what you think the obvious outcome is going to be. There's more people voting to keep this time, but their arguments have nothing at all to do with the notability of the article, which is pretty much a non-argument. To be honest, were I the admin handling these AfDs, I'd have close the previous one as "No Consensus" with a strong encouragement to try again without the bickering. But this one? I'd close this one as "Delete" with a suggestion that everyone who !voted "procedural keep" should probably read WP:CONLEVEL and WP:LAWYER and please try to remained focused on the content. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 18:44, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I stand by my !vote, regardless of whether anyone finds it convincing. We just had this discussion and the closure was upheld at DRV. It is not okay to flout proper procedure because one doesn't like the outcome. I don't like the precedent that could be set if this is closed in favor of deletion. Do we really want this to become commonplace? Lepricavark ( talk) 01:29, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

So you'd be just fine with having anyone who doesn't get their way at AfD immediately opening a new discussion? I'm guessing you wouldn't and that's what I'm concerned about. Lepricavark ( talk) 02:06, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
This isn't an issue of people not getting their way. I not only endorsed Ritchie's close of the last AfD (a "No consensus" close), but I attempted to support and advise him on his talk page. I think Ritchie made the right call, because the previous AfD was a clusterfuck. Believe it or not, my pile of fucks-to-give doesn't have a single one earmarked for this article. I couldn't care less whether it's deleted or not. But this AfD poses a question, to which I have provided an answer. Several other users have provided an answer to a very different question, and are now doing much to turn this particular AfD into a repeat of the previous clusterfuck. I seriously don't get the emotional investment some people seem to make in these discussions? Who the fuck cares if softlavender and jfg are at each other's throats? Who the fuck cares that someone else thought a brand new AfD, right after the clusterfuck was the way to go? The only thing that it makes any sense to care about is whether or not this article meets our notability guidelines. I'm sorry to say; not only does it not meet them, the fact that it doesn't does not appear to be in any serious dispute. So if this AfD gets closes as Keep or No Consensus, then there will soon be another one, and as long as they keep getting disrupted by bad-faith accusations and wikilawyering from a positions of exasperation at the drama this article caused, there will be no grounds whatsoever on which to ban editors from starting AfD after AfD after AfD.
So this problem has a fairly simple solution; delete the fucking article and we can all move on with our lives. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 18:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
If this is closed with the deletion of the article, it will set a potentially dangerous precedent for other articles to be repeatedly taken to AfD until the desired (by some) result is achieved. I don't think that is a good precedent to set. I don't know why you would tell me that it doesn't make any sense to care about that. Lepricavark ( talk) 23:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
If this is closed with the keeping of the article, it will set a potentially dangerous precedent for other AfD's to be derailed from an obvious consensus (6 to 1 with no arguments even claiming suitable levels of sourcing) with a few well-placed accusations. The appeal to consequences goes both ways. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:14, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Perhaps it does, although IMO insufficient attention has been paid to the very valid concerns I've raised. The hostility displayed by a certain editor (not you) toward anyone who disagrees with him, as if we are enemies of Wikipedia, has perhaps intimidated others from speaking up. Lepricavark ( talk) 03:14, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply
That is distinctly possible. It's also possible that the WP:BLUDGEONy accusations of canvassing are discouraging editors as well. As I mentioned before, this and the previous AfD seem to be giant clusterfucks, and I really wish everyone would ignore all the drama and just !vote on the policy/content, so we can put this to bed. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:00, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply
That doesn't appear to be the case. The delete !voters don't seem the slightest bit discouraged from chiming in. It's easier for you to say "ignore all the drama" when you haven't been repeatedly misquoted and insulted, but I do see your point. Lepricavark ( talk) 20:52, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge and redirect - I have not participated in any of the previous deletion discussions. I read the arguments and the sources, and did some searches of my own. I was going to abstain based on procedure but DGG made a good point about how exceptions to the two month wait after an AfD close are allowable. The only two arguments in favor of keeping this article that I could find are that there are 1,084 reviews on Amazon for his book The Disappearance of the Universe [ [13]] and the book is ranked #15 (although in a very narrow category - #15 in Books > Religion & Spirituality > Occult & Paranormal > Ancient & Controversial Knowledge) [ [14]] But, I can't find any mainstream coverage on him or the book. So, absent reliable coverage, this article clearly fails WP:GNG. That being said, it's a well-known fact that there are church groups that mobilize en masse to attend religious movies and buy related books, and so there's a large "hidden" subculture that is ignored by the mainstream media. To address this, I recommend a compromise - taking some of the info about the book and putting it in a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works, and redirecting this article there. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 21:13, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
AMazon reviews of books or anything else are user contributed, and the number of them reflects not the number of readers as much as their desire to write a review. Any look at any useer review site will show that the people making comments are those who are inveterate fans beyond rational belief, and irrational despisers, likewise. Only those people are motivated to write the review--the conclusion from this is that only a few people read these books, but those fe are violently POV about them. That is not the same as notability. DGG ( talk ) 00:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge/redirect to a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works per Timtempleton ( talk · contribs). I was able to find significant mainstream coverage about Gary Renard's book The Disappearance of the Universe in two sources:
    1. Garrett, Lynn (2005-03-07). "'Disappearance' Appears Big Time". Publishers Weekly. Archived from the original on 2017-08-08. Retrieved 2017-08-08.

      The article notes:

      What propels a book to the number 2 spot on Amazon—second only to the new Harry Potter—when there have been no major trade reviews, no advertising, no national media exposure and no placement on any regional or national bestsellers lists? What motivates 141 readers to post glowing reviews? In other words: What's the deal with Hay House's The Disappearance of the Universe?

      Originally published in May 2003 by Fearless Books, Gary Renard's Disappearance—subtitled Straight Talk About Illusions, Past Lives, Religion, Sex, Politics, and the Miracles of Forgiveness—was picked up by Hay House, which published its edition in October.

      The book sold 25,000 copies in the Fearless edition and more than 30,000 for Hay House before the author and Hay House decided to turn up the volume. Renard hired Peggy McColl, whose company, Dynamic Destinies, does online marketing for authors and publishers. Renard paid McColl's consulting fee; Hay House pitched in for the contact lists and other costs, and Fearless publisher D. Patrick Miller contributed his labor.

      ...

      Much of Disappearance grows out of Renard's study of A Course in Miracles,the 1976 three-volume set of books that became a spiritual curriculum for many individuals and study groups. Course remains a cult favorite, retaining a spot above 500 in the Amazon rankings and selling an estimated 1.5 million copies. Renard said Disappearance (his first book) took him nine years to write, "and it's all true." It describes Renard's conversations with a pair of "ascended masters" (spiritual guides) who began visiting him in 1992 (they recommended he study the Course). He added, "Yes, it was a great campaign, but it also took a strong book to make it as successful as it was. The book was already an underground hit—it had great reviews and a strong Web site presentation, as well as excellent word of mouth in the spiritual community and an author who has flown 100,000 miles in the last year to promote it."

    2. Wilson, Brandy (2006-07-29). "Community of Faith: NEWS FROM HOUSES OF WORSHIP: 'Disappearance of Universe' author to host workshop". The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Archived from the original on 2017-08-08. Retrieved 2017-08-08.

      The article notes:

      Author Gary Renard received some strange visitors while meditating in his home alone one evening.

      Renard claims in his book, "The Disappearance of the Universe," that he opened his eyes from a meditation session to find a mysterious young couple sitting on his couch. In 17 subsequent conversations with the couple over the next nine years, Renard says they revealed themselves as ascended masters sent to teach him about the "divine intelligence of the universe" --- religion, reincarnation, forgiveness and more.

      To those unfamiliar with Renard, his claims may seem a little hard to swallow. But through word of mouth, his book, based on teachings from and time spent with the couple, has found a significant place in the spiritual world. Its even been compared with the spiritual society's signature book "A Course in Miracles," by Helen Schucman and William Thetford. Both books are based on the author's writings on a series of divine visits and conversations. Renard's book also contains analyses of some of Schucman's primary teachings.

    I have searched extensively for sources about Gary Renard and his books; these are the two best sources I could find. Most of the other sources I found were passing mentions in newspapers or extensive coverage in self-published books, which is insufficient to establish notability. As these two articles are primarily about his book, I do not think they are enough for him to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

    Two sources about a book are enough to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria. The Publishers Weekly review can be used to establish notability for The Disappearance of the Universe. But as an article about an event listing, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution source likely is not enough to establish notability. Since there is only one solid source about The Disappearance of Universe, I do not recommend creating an article about the book since it probably would get deleted or merged.

    I therefore support a selective merge to a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works per Timtempleton because the Publishers Weekly and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution articles clearly connect Gary Renard and his book, The Disappearance of the Universe, with A Course in Miracles.

  • I do not oppose this merge, which is entirely justified by the sources. Nevertheless, my position is that if the close is "merge and redirect", then the redirect should be fully protected to prevent this rather longstanding and persistently-defended walled garden from being restored against consensus. Alternatively, the article could be deleted and then a fresh redirect created, preserving attribution by one of the methods suggested at WP:PATT. I really don't want to have to watch this, please; my watchlist is quite full enough already.— S Marshall T/ C 16:45, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I agree - and was actually thinking that same thing myself. Since enough info is at the new redirect destination now, would a pure delete and then a recreation as a redirect work? Despite having come to this late and not really having any skin in the game, once this is deleted, I'd be happy to recreate Gary Renard as a redirect and monitor it in case the content has already been saved somewhere in a sandbox by persistent keep advocates. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 17:33, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
A delete-and-recreate would work but you used the pre-existing article as a basis for the text you added to A Course in Miracles ---- so we have to give the people who wrote that material credit for their work (which is in the terms of use). They still own the copyright in their contributions. Wikipedia uses them under licence. Normally, credit to content authors is by means of the "view history" link, but if we delete the article then we hide the history, so we have to find another way to give them credit for their work. This is what WP:PATT is about. I expect the closer will avoid that though ---- I expect they'll just fully protect the redirect, keeping the history, and add {{ afd-merged-from}} to Talk:A Course in Miracles (as has already been done in respect of another article that's been merged there). That's the least laborious way to do it. Strictly speaking, you should have added a merger template when you copied material from one article to another, but to be fair the rules on copying within Wikipedia are rather obscure and not widely known! The closer will probably sort it out.— S Marshall T/ C 18:29, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I just rewrote the section, keeping the sources. Does that work? Interesting that entire articles are added to mirror sites where there is no attribution, yet a section can't be moved within Wikipedia from one article to the next. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 18:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Well, I suppose that's up to the closer whether it's sufficient, but personally if I was closing, I wouldn't be completely comfortable with that. Although I'm sure this wasn't your intention, rewriting it to avoid attribution has a faint whiff of an end-run around the terms of use. The {{ afd-merged-from}} route is really quite easy to use and gives us an ironclad assurance that we're fulfilling our copyright licensing promises.— S Marshall T/ C 22:54, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comments on recent events: The DRV for the last review was closed 13:09, 4 August 2017 (UTC) with linked advice not to re-nominate within two-month's time: [15]. Three hours later, after seeing that the DRV was closed, I began improving the article by adding text cited to reliable independent third-party sources: [16]. Two hours later, jps, who filed the previous AfD and who has repeatedly non-neutrally canvassed these AfDs, gutted the article by removing 1,772 bytes of text instead of tagging {{cn}}: [17]. Three hours later, defying the advice of the DRV-closing admin, S Marshall opened this fourth AFD less than 10 hours after the DRV close. To repeat what I've stated previously, the subject easily meets #2 of WP:ANYBIO and #1 and #3 of WP:NAUTHOR. The current state of the article does not change that fact. The fact of the matter is that providing abundant sourced text for the article is more time-consuming than it was several years ago because of the current state of how GoogleBooks and Google itself works, and also because Amazon no longer allows "Search Inside This Book". Searches for this subject require more targeted searches and take time. If there hadn't been all of the drama created by the four-fold non-neutral canvassing (of the previous AFD, the DRV, this AfD, and the ANI) and the immediate (less than 10 hours after the DRV) re-nom, this article would have easily been drastically improved in two month's time (the time length indicated in the DRV-closing admin's links).

This page has been little more than fancruft even since is was first nominated back in 2006 when it looked like this. It has never been an encyclopedia article.

Since your position is that you haven't had time to provide sources for this article that's existed since 2006, then how about we make a deal? Here's my offer. If, at any time after this is closed, you ever find the two (2) independent, reliable sources containing biographical information about Mr Renard that are the minimum standard for a Wikipedia article about him, then post them on my talk page and I will personally apologise to you, bring it to Deletion Review, and see that it's restored.— S Marshall T/ C 22:54, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Nowhere have I stated or implied anything of the sort. Nor is AfD about making "deals"; it's about notability. This subject clearly meets #2 of WP:ANYBIO and #1 and #3 of WP:NAUTHOR, as I demonstrated in my !vote: [18]. Moreover, WP:Renominating for deletion#Advice on renominating, which RoySmith linked to in his close of the DRV in addition to the two-month hiatus guideline, states "Don’t exacerbate this problem by WP:BADGERing the participants in the new discussion." Softlavender ( talk) 23:11, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Oh, I'm sorry, when you said searches for this subject require more targeted searches and take time, I understood that to mean that you needed time to find your sources. If I've got that wrong, then please post them now.— S Marshall T/ C 23:14, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Don't think that'll happen, OID. Softlavender's quite heavily invested in keeping this article. Unfortunately for him it's a poorly-sourced article about an un-notable person who peddles something somewhere between a fringe religious position and pseudoscientific woo ---- and Softlavender is, it's quite clear, unable to offer any better sources than the desperately inadequate ones already mentioned above. So Softlavender's response is to try to turn it into a conduct dispute about the terrible behaviour of the evil nominators. Jps played into this strategy by making a note on AN/I that could be portrayed as non-neutral canvassing. I have not, so Softlavender is trying to leverage an essay that RoySmith mentioned in his DRV close to stop me from answering him ("badgering"). If he relinquishes that position then the article has no further defence, so I anticipate persistence.

And the truth is that I am "badgering". I'm positively required to do so by the second paragraph of WP:BLP ---- a consideration that far outweighs the essay on which Softlavender would like to rely. Policy demands that I am, and I quote, "very firm about the use of high-quality sources". So badger, badger, badger.— S Marshall T/ C 16:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Anyone can self-release songs; that doesn't make them notable.

But business journals are explicitly considered unacceptable by both WP:ORGIND and WP:GNG, so how they can considered acceptable in this one specific instance? SwisterTwister talk 21:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply
I disagree with the claim that business journals can't be used to source information about businesses. I'm not sure what WP:ORGIND is but can you show me specifically in WP:GNG where it says that? Forbes, Fortune and Crain's (from various cities) are all used quite extensively as Wikipedia sources, and my local business journals are also great sources of info on local businesses. In this specific case, from what DreamyShade added below, PC Magazine, CIO magazine and Computerworld are all considered notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Discounting them as worthless hurts your credibility as an AfD voter or AfD delete nominator of business articles. If you tried to delete those articles, you'd find this out from many others besides me. I'm also going to have to disagree that a funding announcement is not news. Funding announcements are very good indicators that a company has gotten to the critical point and is finally ready to take off. There's a term called Unicorn that specifically refers to companies that are valued at $1B due to recent funding rounds. I know you wouldn't (or at least I hope you wouldn't) suggest that since funding is immaterial news, that article should be deleted as well? Funding is very reliable info - companies have to file Form D financial statements within 15 days of funding - they can't make the numbers up. Also, you and I have discussed this in at least one other prior deletion discussion, but saying that media coverage that is spurred by a press release should be ignored on principle, I'm sorry to say, just shows a misunderstanding of the role of public relations in business. Thousands and thousands of press releases are released every day. Journalists only cover the ones that seem to be notable to them. Business journalists don't sit outside of most business offices trying to get scoops - they scan the wire services. Finally, per your note and examples below, I agree with you that there's a COI trend here, maybe not all of them but at least from the single article editors, but if there are 2-3 people working together from a company, and none of them are as experienced with Wikipedia guidelines as you and I, it's conceivable that this could be innocent editing. Once they get bitten and realize that they screwed up, I don't blame them for wanting to stay low and not declare a COI. For all they know, you could be passionate and volatile - they don't whether or not you might try to do PR damage to the company. The nominator has been sanctioned for tag bombing articles and canvassing, and narrowly avoided another ban. These are not CEOs and business owners themselves doing this editing - they are likely rank and file employees who could very well fear getting fired for what happens to the company as a result of these notability attacks and tag bombs. But this shouldn't be grounds for not allowing others to try to improve articles and maybe save them, as I'm trying to. Otherwise, your best intentions will likely only drive more people to paid editors. Did you catch this? [ [20]] TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:55, 1 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep – The article has received some copy editing after the nomination for deletion to address concerns with promotionalism, and per a source review, the topic meets WP:GNG. Any additional concerns with promotional tone can be addressed via further copy editing. North America 1000 21:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as I analyzed the sources and easily found them to be promotional, see: 1 is an indiscriminate list which violates WP:Not guide given an article should not read like a "how-to" style owner's manual, cookbook, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box. This includes tutorials, instruction manuals, game guides, and recipes. Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use or do something is not, 2 is only 1 review, 3 is like the 1st one and, worse, because it's a company interview therefore not independent at all and 4 is following this, 5 is a funding list which cannot satisfy WP:ORGIND since it says "anything directly or indirectly by the company or where the company talks about itself, routine announcements or listings", 6 is like the first one, and actually from a local TV station (therefore not substantial or significant) and The tool, dubbed Mavenlink Resource Planning and Management, intends to treat your projects and resources as interconnected cyclical processes more akin to enterprise resource planning (ERP) rather than one-off tasks. This pivot is designed to give managers and planners the ability to address company changes that might affect multiple project timelines, budgets, and profitability. The solution spans the service lifecycle from sales commitment to project delivery and postmortem analysis and finally 7 and 8 are once again anything directly or indirectly by the company since it says Upstairs at Mavenlink, employees are helping fast-growing businesses navigate digital obstacles. Andy Leavitt of Mavenlink describes the company's mission this way: "Anybody who bills for a fee, we want those businesses to come to us." and the company quickly expanded into Utah to find the tech talent it needed to help clients manage projects all over the world. As WP:Deletion policy and WP:NOT state quite clearly, we are not a promotional webhost and suggesting that we make exceptions simply because of publication name is violating our fundamental pillar WP:Neutrality. As for GNG, it actually says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability" and "nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason" (links to WP:What Wikipedia which is cited as a guaranteed policy factor). To analyze the Keep votes, one of them suggests a local trade publication but these are exactly "directly or indirectly by the company", the next offers the same business journal and none of that actually gives us new material to examine. See also WP:GNG which clearly states Publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability. Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, autobiography, product placement and most paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article so GNG cannot be an instant guaranteed it can be accepted since there are still valid concerns. As for copyediting, the specific page about this process actually says "Promotion cannot be improved if it still other concerns", and this is especially valid when considering clear COI as this, this, this, this, this and others, so suggesting that we brush it under the rug in absence of taking action on it, is not part of our goals here. Considering these were repeated back-to-back patterns, it's highly likely to say they were company employees, worse when they themselves were either sourcing back to the company website or pasting from it, therefore we have applicable concerns in our Terms of Use violations. In fact, the only changes made here were to remove a few pieces of puffery but the promotionalism was still noticeable, that is instantly evidence for WP:Deletion policy as unsuitable encyclopedia material. Suggesting that we act closer to a news source and cover special interests or trade subjects, would be violating WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper (policy). As the nomination states, "Blatant promotion" is in fact perfectly applicable. SwisterTwister talk 21:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Actually, that's not the case at all, this and this which are clearly printed in the company's name and are in the current article.

    This article is not routine coverage. The article contains detailed analysis and questioning of Mavenlink's decisions:

    While this is the obvious next step for Mavenlink in its expansion it may be making an error. Currently the SaaS company is hosting its data on AWS in Oregon with a disaster recovery centre in Virginia. Asked whether they would be opening up a European instance Mavenlink responded: “Given the networked ecosystem architecture of our application, we are leveraging the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework for data privacy, and leveraging other, modern methods to deliver performance across global geographies.”

    While Mavenlink are now certified under the EU-US privacy shield this may not be enough to win some clients. This is especially true in Germany where data sovereignty is especially important. The EU-US privacy shield was criticised heavily last year. Most major hosting companies now have European data centres there seems little reason not to have an instance in the EU. It will be interesting to see what the Mavenlink strategy on this will be going forward. It may be that they are awaiting a critical mass of companies before opening up a non-US instance. The risk is that without that data centre in Europe they may find that some companies will not want to sign up.

    This article from Computerworld is also skeptical of Mavenlink's decisions:

    MyPOV

    I'm not convinced. Not because I believe the hype that SaaS requires no professional services, but more because Mavenlink has a difficult job to do here. For one thing, it has to differentiate its own product from the on-premises offerings out there. The general way that SaaS vendors do that is by articulating the ease of use, reduced time to value, better economics and easier integration that SaaS products bring. But by introducing MavenOps, Mavenlink needs to start articulating the very opposite: that SaaS is hard and that consulting is needed to deliver value.

    I'll be interested to see how this plays out, but I suspect Mavenlink's move has more to do with a difficult economic climate and pressure to deliver financial results than with any customer-facing factors. One to watch, but I'm not sure they're onto a winner here.

    Critical analysis of a company's actions is neither routine coverage nor an advertisement.

Even with 2 controversies, this is not the multiple coverage needed in WP:GNG, see multiple sources are generally expected and, even then, it would be a matter of WP:1E because of circumstantial events considering the articles are each from 1 (2017) and 1 (2016); this is not the Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability...sustained coverage is....notability.

  • Delete because it's easy to see what's available on the subject isn't what notability is about, or even what counts as significant; see this or this; since no one ever actually made any improvements after the nomination either, I'm not convinced this is actually going to show notability or that we should expect it any later, if couldn't happen now. As always, Wikipedia is not a webhost for "articles to possibly improve" since GNG says articles must be labeled notable there and now. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 19:36, 11 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete promotional, and intended to be, showing multiple signs recognizable as the typical production of the typical promotional editor, from the self-serving introduction on "[the founders] sas a gap in ..." (every new business is started because the founders see a gap in whatever provision of whatever service or product they propose to do business in-- it may be intend as human interest but it is just boilerplate) to the list of multiple company social media sites at the bottom, a practice prohibited by our rules on linking, but an almost invariable part of the less competent variety of PR. An uninvolved ed. whom I respect , but who frequently tries to keep articles in this and related fields has been trying to improve it, by removing the worst of the references, but if it is finished there is not going to be enough substance left. The data on subscribers comes from a small section on the company in a "Multiple application that ..." article on a web site, and normally repeats only a PR claim. The funding information is PR-junk; it is included in promotional articles for two reasons--first, it is of some obvious importance to the owners of the company--and, except for the private investors-- nobody else; second, there are invariably announcement of this funding to be found, because it has for at least a century been the practice of financial enterprises to make sure they get published--and therefore it is the sort of trivial material that is specifically prohibited by our policies. I have myself tried to improve many poor quality articles, but I try to limit myself to those which are important enough to be worth the effort, and where there is decent material to be found. I no longer do it for run of the mill promotional articles like this, because the contributors of such material need to be discouraged, not assisted. It is in my opinion a misguided approach to try to lower the level of the encyclopedia. Promotional editing is prevalent enough from true promotional editors without the NPOV editors assisting it. There's no point discussing the details of the sourcing, because the entire effort is misguided -- the only way to help the encyclopedia increase good coverage in this area is to delete material of this sort. I'm writing this at longer length than usual in the hope is getting those editors still open to argument to think again about the effects of what they are doing. DGG ( talk ) 22:52, 11 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per DGG as promotional and damaging to the encyclopedia. I will add that a company's notability is always dubious when the most significant coverage comes from a content farm such as those run by Forbes and Computerworld. Coverage there is routinely bought and sold on websites such as Upwork, just like Wikipedia articles. Rentier ( talk) 10:12, 12 August 2017 (UTC) reply

I have tried to modify this page to show Jam Filled's true history. Jam Filled did not purchase Arc Productions, It did not change it's name to Arc Productions. Arc Productions went bankrupt and Jam Filled purchased some of the assets only. The contracts were renegotiated with the client and many ex Arc employees were hired many people back. In stead of removing this page, I suggest changing it back to Arc Productions and stating that is went bankrupt. Jam Filled is celebrating it's 10th year anniversary this year, and we do not want to be associated with the past of Arc Productions. Although we now share some history, we have our own and would like to create a page for that.

On a side note, over the past 12 years, I have worked for all the companies continuously from DKP, IDT Entertainment, Starz Media Canada, and Arc Productions. With more authority than most people (if not all), I can clearly tell you that Jam Filled is not the same company.

Not to mention if they're an accomplished lawyer or state judge (say like a state Supreme Court justice) then you can easily find additional information from their bios within law firms and/or courts.

  • Keep By longstanding precedent, articles have been created on Article III Judicial nominees at the time of their nomination. While technically these individuals may not satisfy the Wikipedia notability guidelines at the time of their nomination, we find it easier to create such articles now, rather than to wait for their confirmation. Additionally, Article III Judges who have been confirmed have a presumption of notability, per long precedent. I see no reason for deletion, which could lead to a deletion spree of other recently created articles. If this nominee ultimately fails to be confirmed, we can pursue deletion at that time. Safiel ( talk) 21:16, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I believe that an Article III nominee is inherently notable. Being nominated by the President of the United States for one of the limited number (about 3000, counting appellate courts) of Article III lifetime positions is notable, end of story. Can anyone possibly imagine that any such nominee is not subject to immediate coverage in reliable sources? Even if not confirmed, the circumstances of the confirmation failure or withdrawal gets sufficient coverage to ensure WP:GNG. I acknowledge Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges/Notability says "Nominees whose nomination has not yet come to a vote are not inherently notable," but I disagree. Looking at the edit history to that page, it seems largely the work of a small number of editors thanklessly trying to corral and codify the Wikiproject's positions, but cannot be seen as actually representing a consensus of Wikipedia editors of of that Wikiproject.

TJRC ( talk) 22:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
    • TJRC, I must reject your assessment of the USCJ notability guidelines. Although the number of editors participating in writing these guidelines has been small, they have been discussed at various points over the history of the project. Some of the edits I have made to those guidelines have reflected points raised by other project members. I am confident that the more active members of the project are aware of the guidelines, and would not hesitate to raise any particular objection that they have. In short, I think that it does represent a consensus on the project. That said, I would welcome any proposals for improvement. With respect to the issue at hand, it may be true that a nominee in this day and age is likely to get immediate coverage, but is this the case for all past failed nominees? I don't know. I would suggest, however, that there has to be more to this subject's biography than what is currently in the article, to explain exactly how he came to be a federal judicial nominee. bd2412 T 00:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
      • @ BD2412: You're saying that the vetting process done by Senators PRIOR to becoming a candidate and/or being nominated is now needed? Am I understanding that right?

        • I'm not talking about the vetting process, but about the process by which this name got on the President's desk. Federal judges aren't picked out of the phone book, or really even purely on merit, and rarely even because they personally know the President who nominates them. They are nominated because they have some connection to their Senator, or someone of equivalent pull within their state. It is sometimes possible to find reporting indicating, e.g., who recommended the nominee to the President. bd2412 T 04:08, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

It may be jumping the gun a bit to create the pages prior to confirmation, but since the vast majority of federal judicial nominees go on to be confirmed, I don't see the harm in creating articles prior to confirmation. For an idea of scope, there are currently just 31 pending federal judicial nominees, so we're not talking about very many articles. These nominees will either go on to be confirmed, in which case they are certainly notable under WP:POLITICIAN, or their nominations will fail, in which case the reason for failure/coverage surrounding the failure will almost certainly render them notable. In this particular case, I think there is enough coverage here to pass the general notability threshold, see this and this, for example.

  • Delete. I've advocated getting rid of these for years. All they do is replicate primary sourced information of little actual utility — the only people who actually need to know that Kim Rudd sits directly in front of Julie Dabrusin, or that Bob Saroya sits next to Jamie Schmale, or exactly which curtain-skirting seat in the peanut gallery Hunter Tootoo's been banished to, are employees of the House of Commons who already have access to the House's own internal charts. And the nature of Wikipedia means that the information can't be provided without violating our article design principles — actually reading a Wikipedia article should never require scrolling left to right because the page can't be constrained to a normal monitor resolution. Any other article that did that would be flagged as having a technical fuckuppery problem that needed fixed. These simply don't actually serve any substantive need; like a lot of other types of Wikipedia content that we've deprecated, they're a thing some people thought were useful at one time, but have come to look a lot less useful as our principles and best practices and content standards have evolved. Yes, others exist — they should be deleted too, because they're just not useful.

If other sources can be provided, I'd be happy to reconsider. It's completely possible that notability under Wikipedia's standards could be established on a later date, but right now, the article focuses entirely too much on primary sources or sources that do not actually discuss him as a figure but rather mention his work incidentally.

  • Delete. Nothing here constitutes an automatic pass of any subject-specific inclusion criterion (YouTubers are not granted an automatic presumption of notability just because their self-published content on YouTube provides metaverification that they exist), and the article is not referenced to enough substantive reliable source coverage about him to clear WP:GNG — the references here are almost all primary sources, and the only two that actually count as reliable sources are both local media outlets in his own hometown and the nearest larger city to it, and thus don't constitute enough coverage of him. (And anyway, they aren't verifying any substantial information about him, but are simply quoting his opinions on a list of films.) And it isn't appropriate or acceptable Wikipedia process to evade WP:SALT and/or bypass WP:AFC rejections by recreating the deleted article at an unnecessarily disambiguated alternate title and then admin-shopping to get the page moved overtop the salted title, either. The key to getting a deleted article back into Wikipedia is to properly address the reasons why it got deleted in the first place: namely by providing a stronger notability claim, and better sourcing for it, than this article is showing.

  • Keep Subject is notable under GNG due to significant coverage in reliable sources. Campaign announcement went viral, candidate was interviewed and covered on multiple major news outlets.
NPR interview, CNN interview, Mediaite coverage of Morning Joe (MSNBC) coverage, Vox, Mother Jones, Fast Company, half a dozen to a dozen stories in the Lexington Herald-Leader dating back months, etc. This constitutes widespread coverage nationally and regionally of her campaign and her viral announcement video.
Failure to meet NPOLITICIAN does not mean she is non-notable. Jbbdude ( talk) 16:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
True, it doesn't. But those sources don't establish GNG for "significant" coverage as it's all routine coverage in relation to her campaign. Those Lexington Herald-Leader stories you mention are all routine mentions as far as I can see. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 19:02, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I think what you are missing is that she is receiving extensive national and international coverage because she was the first woman to fly an F18 into combat.

  • The only reason she has and is receiving so much coverage in the media is because she was the first woman to fly an F18 in combat.

This simply about what she has done not her political ambitions. -- I am One of Many ( talk) 00:10, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I found articles about her going back to 2004 and 2007 which I added to her article and expanded the stub. She has been written about because of her work in the military and her induction into the aviation museum in KY. She is even more notable now that she is running and has a viral video that everyone is talking about. Notable both before and after. Definitely not ROUTINE, since she's made a military first and has had her career written about in the news and in a book (which I can't access... yet). Even her run for congress isn't what I'd call ROUTINE: not every candidate's videos go viral. Passes GNG easily. Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 21:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
It may be true that not every candidate's videos go "viral" per se, but "viral" is an unquantifiable criterion that any candidate can (and does) always assert that their campaign videos did whether the claim actually has any meat to it or not. (Not to mention that Wikipedia's single biggest problem these days is the constant creation and post-deletion re-re-re-recreation of articles about every single YouTuber who ever YouTubed, solely on the basis that virality has been claimed.) We've seen a lot of "this went viral" claims on Wikipedia for internet videos of no substantive or sustained notability, so you're just going to have to accept that I and a lot of other people quite rightly see the phrase "it went viral" as marshmallowy PR bumf that conveys "subject is a wannabe overinflating themselves for public relations purposes" rather than a genuinely substantive claim of notability in its own right. Canada has had candidates whose campaign videos went "viral" too — I'M WYATT SCOTT AND I'M RUNNING FOR PARLIAMENT! — but they didn't, and won't, get articles on that basis in and of itself.

Previously deleted as G11 and cleaned up a bit: article appears to be a commissioned work designed to promote a non-notable businessman.

  • Delete I agree with the poster.

  • Weak keep delete - I cleaned it up a bit and removed some promotional info and unsourced. The references show some notability, and the award puts it over the line, I'd say. Thus, it just barely scrapes by WP:GNG. Not enough significant coverage. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録 19:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
    • RileyBugz, which sources? Edgar Pro is just a stock ticker listing. The WSJ link is not actually an article, but a listing of a board membership that was probably taken from SEC filings (which have been removed as primary sources). The Pharmaceutical online source is a reprinted press release with a quote from him as the CEO, it wouldn't establish notability for the company, much less the BLP. The final source is just a link to the corporate website that he is no longer on. The local business journal is simply coverage of Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, which is not a prestigious award under ANYBIO: its given to 400 people a year and has over 10,000 recipients according to our article.

The WaPo article is just attributing facts to him: we don't typically consider that coverage of the subject. It certainly isn't substantial coverage as intended under WP:N. An interview with a subject on a TV program, even a large national one, is considered a primary source document. In this interview in particular, MSNBC is discussing the company, not him, which means that it is problematic for establishing notability on two fronts. Wire reports of the company's IPO would be coverage of the company, not its CEO. TonyBallioni ( talk) 14:52, 11 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Denver Randleman was one of the NCOs in E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) during World War II; neither his rank ( staff sergeant) or his highest award ( bronze star) qualify him for notability under WP:SOLDIER.

  • Note: On behalf of my colleague, Dave Salanitro, I'd like to weigh in by saying that he deserves a spot here on Wikipedia given his contributions to the craft and evolution of design and the profession at large. Please see my extended argument on the talk page of the article. I interviewed Dave Salanitro for the cover of HOW Magazine in the fall of 1997 (I was the Senior Editor there at the time). All of us at HOW were in awe of the work they were creating--absolutely dynamic, original, and cutting edge. Their original work stood out even more starkly in San Francisco, where there seems to be more design studios than coffee shops. I then went on to work as the Web Director for Chronicle Books, where I was thrilled to see the Oh Boy Artifacts line thrive.

  • Note: As Vice President and Creative Director at Mohawk Fine Papers, I was always searching for breakthrough talent to create aspirational promotions that would appeal to other designers. When I hired Dave Salanitro, of Oh Boy Design in 1998, it was because I was struck by the firm’s clear voice and singular vision. The resulting work won design awards and is on many designer bookshelves to this day. Dave’s greater contribution, I think, was in the area of product design.

I am unaware of any such courtesy (certainly the vocal among Wikipedia do not consider forthcoming existent sources as of any value regardless of strong encouragement from the guidelines) and any explanation that defines a what the vocal WP source seek beyond the, the many cited in the article and those that have come forth to write here, which and who I an only repeatedly told are unsuitable, clearly signal that a small minority of WP staff are simply unwilling to see this article pass.

  • I am Dave Salanitro. I had previously said I would bow out of further discussion, but I have not always been able to resist and have dropped a few remarks without signing in. I was not sure if I was allowed to speak on my behalf, or as an interested party, or as some WP:acronym, so when sparks were flying, I ducked under the inadequate cover of my IP address. I wish to clarify a few things. I understand that you will not take me at my word; that seems to be the general bent of the conversation; nevertheless, no one who has come forth to make a case for my inclusion on these pages is anyone but who they say they are. They are, of course, people who know me and learned of a determined campaign to defame me—I have not been quiet nor have others. They read this transcript and have, with no script and only their convictions defended, in their own words, my reputation, clearly at the expense of their own. Maxxheth, in particular, has taken quite a beating, even as he asked how the article might be made to comply. I cut it once; he cut it again; we got no reply. Secondly, I believe that this article has not been given due diligence, but instead got caught up in a maelstrom of accusations intent upon its deletion rather than a collaborative effort to better it and help it along. For an article criticized as being self-serving and promotional, what such entry wraps up with the subject's business failing? On the positive side, What of the citations of multiple publications in the article? At what point did the critics stop reading? Your concerns are addressed. It would be nice to be listed on these pages. And, there is certainly some advantage to it, but the gain should not require one to withstand smug retorts and sanctimonious behavior. Please don't take this as surrender. You may take down the page as is your prerogative, but I am not picking up my toys and going home. Throw your barbs my way and let the well-meaning others be.

  • Is it the financial metrics that bother you? I dawns on me that you might take them as gloating. I'm sure they can be removed. The intention I believe, and Maxxheth would have to back me up, that they are there only to illustrate the firm's rapid growth. Dssalanitro ( talk) 21:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
    • The financial metrics that have led to relying on Kickstarter now...? only ( talk) 21:09, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Thank you for your direct communication. The Kickstarter reference was removed a while ago when it became clear that it was clearly unappropriate. Currently, the last paragraph reads "Rights to Oh Boy Artifacts reverted to Salanitro in 2016. The brand is slated to relaunch late in 2017." Would it make a difference if the sentence "The brand is slated to relaunch late in 2017," were omitted? Dssalanitro ( talk) 21:18, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
        • No...that wouldn't make a difference in establishing the notability of yourself. only ( talk) 21:39, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
          • It occurs to me after rereading your first response that I took your meaning the wrong way. My intentions to do with Kickstarter or my finances are none of Wikipedia's concern. I took your remark initailly as thoughtful. I read them quickly and didn't catch how snide they were. Shame on you for your presumptions. That may have been the lowest anyone has gone yet. Now I regret that we are back on the topic of notability, which has been addressed in all manner of ways. You list hundreds of designers on Wikipedis, many with less notability than has been cited in this article, and far less than what Maxxheth refferred you to above. There are aproximately 16 citations on the main page, and another 116 publications listed by name and date online (see Maxxheth's post, if you were to take take the time to look and allow that little of what was print has been digitized, you would see that you are flat out wrong. You have far more evidence than you care to reference. Dssalanitro ( talk) 23:01, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Just to be clear, this page has spent some time sitting with its headers erroneously pointing to Philip Tomasino instead of Graeme Clarke, for reasons I have yet to identify since it wasn't the nominator's error but seems to have happened afterward. However, nominator is correct that Clarke does not have a valid notability claim per WP:NHOCKEY, because the Ontario Hockey League is not a league that confers automatic inclusion rights on every player in it, nothing in the article claims that he meets the notability standard that's required at the OHL level ("Achieved preeminent honors in a lower minor or major junior league (all-time top ten career scorer or First Team All-Star), or in an NCAA Division I collegiate hockey league (all-time top ten career scorer or First or Second Team All-American)."), and the article is written like an advertisement and sourced almost entirely to the team's own self-published primary sources about itself.

For the record, what happened here is that on TheMagnificentist's first relist of this discussion, XFDcloser (either through a technical burp or user error of a type that's impossible to identify), erroneously replaced the correct original topic headers with the headers from another concurrent discussion — that page has already been deleted, but the intended topic here has not.

The subject does not seem to be notable. He appeared as a fitness coach in a reality TV series, but the cast members of this show do not seem to be particularly notable. The bulk of the sources are self references or press release type articles in alumni newsletters. There does not seem to be broad coverage of the subject. Winning state charter school teacher of the year is not a significant prize. There are WP:AUTO concerns, but I don't think the subject is notable enough regardless of who wrote the article. only ( talk) 17:33, 22 July 2017 (UTC) reply

I don't agree with the assertion it's not noteworthy. Too Fat for 15 is the only reality weight loss show to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy, and the subject was the star of the show. How many other reality stars from cancelled shows have articles written about them? Additionally, per the NJ Dept. of Education, 35% of all public school students attend charter schools. As a result, the award is much bigger than some give it credit for. The subject also received awards and recognition from Michele Obama's Let's Move campaign and the President's Council on Physical Fitness. E! News also named him America's Most Knowledgeable Fitness Personality while on Too Fat for 15. Those accolades make the subject noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.54.94.134 ( talk) 01:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC) — 173.54.94.134 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

Note: the IP address geolocates to the town in which John Taylor lives. Based on the WP:AUTO concerns of the writing of the article, this is important to note in considering this comment. only ( talk) 02:12, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
And to address some of the points: just because the show was Emmy nominated (for Daytime Emmy Special Class Series) doesn't mean the "star" of the show is notable. The winning of the charter school award is not notable; we do not have articles on all 50 teachers of the year in every state's public schools let alone charter schools. (Also, I don't know where you get 35% from; the state's data says about 3.3% attend charters). The awards from the Let's Move / President's Council are not significant awards. And I am not able to find any reliable source that supports you being named "Most Knowledgeable Fitness Personality." All I find via Google are your LinkedIn/Twitter, and a press release. only ( talk) 02:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of a person whose only reliably sourced claim of notability is having been a non-winning candidate for federal and provincial office. As always, merely being a candidate in an election that the person didn't win is not a notability claim that passes WP:NPOL, and neither is being the first candidate of any particular ethnic background (and even then she isn't even the first in the province's history, but merely the first in the history of one particular party, which is even weaker as a notability claim). But there's no sourcing here to get her past WP:GNG for her work as a lawyer or community activist. All of which means that nothing here is a valid reason for a Wikipedia article.

Bypassing the PROD process, as I feel a fuller discussion is merited here. The subject of this article is a recently-deceased meteorologist, whose claim to notability is that he was a fellow of what appears to be the sort of "peak body" for his profession and served as an office-holder thereof. That said, there's not an awful lot beyond that statement, which suggests that GNG may not be met. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:51, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Due diligence here - According to the article Oddy has played in Britain, but in a second string league it looks like, and in an Emirates league (did not know they even had ice over there !) Aoziwe ( talk) 01:52, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Sorry, that's true. I speaking more in general to Sportsfan 1234 who has nominated tons of Aussie hockey players at AFD, a majority of which only played there. The AIHL doesn't appear on WP:NHOCKEY/LA, and the national team doesn't count either as it hasn't appeared at the top level of the Worlds since 1960. Thus, any modern Australian hockey player who's only ever played at home can't satisfy the NHOCKEY criteria (unless, of course, they have other GNG-meeting attributes) so I'd recommend they get deleted through PROD instead of clogging up AFD.

No problem. Aoziwe ( talk) 13:00, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Fails NHOCKEY, no evidence the subject meets the GNG. As to that, these Aussie hockey articles were prodded ... and were systematically deprodded by Smartyllama. I'd direct complaints about bunging up AfD to him. Ravenswing 17:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment – I haven't perused that particular source. From what I've seen, however, "blog posts" associated with Mike Mooneyham are typically reprints of journalistic pieces originally published by outlets which meet WP:RS. It begs the question of whether or not we're linking to a copyvio, but that's what you get for encouraging linkspam over solid information and sources. WP:RS is used time and again to categorically push certain websites, especially in the case of this topic area. Last I checked, I'm pretty sure we're also supposed to give weight to the author.

Neutral I was unimpressed by most of the listings mentioned, but I'm willing to change my comment to say the aforementioned article appeared in a reliable source.

  • Weak delete I feel sad about this one because he was one of the most prominent WCW referees during the Monday Night Wars but I don't believe he passes WP:GNG. I agree with RadioKAOS that Mike Mooneyham is a reliable source (he writes regularly for the Post and Courier) but we'll need more than his one source to save this article. LM2000 ( talk) 06:18, 31 July 2017 (UTC) reply
    Keep I did find his name in the books Nikki linked to below before chiming in before. Most are passing mentions in autobiographies of wrestlers who note that he refereed certain matches, but I just found this one, which is a bit more in depth and describes him as the leading WCW referee. I'm also keeping in mind RadioKAOS' comments about availability for web sources on this subject, whose career ended many years ago. I made similar comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marissa McMahon but wasn't swayed to keep there because her work was far from substantial. LM2000 ( talk) 01:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - [24] He's got a bunch of mentions in wrestling books. Anyone have the time to see if they amount to "significant coverage" or just a bunch of trivial mentions? Nikki♥ 311 00:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Real life intruded, sorry for the late reply. In response to KDS4444 and expanding on LM2000's comments, it appears that NewsLibrary no longer offers URLs pointing to specific articles, but perhaps others are better versed in the ways of that site than I am. Regardless, it shows that this so-called "blog posting" is the same article that was originally published on January 26, 1997, not on "someone's blog", but in The Post and Courier, whose web masthead prominently displays the legend "Winner of the Pulitzer Prize". Evidently, that isn't stopping the Kool-Aid drinkers from drumming the "unreliable source" mantra, despite how obvious it is to anyone. The Post and Courier's web content only goes back to 2007, plus Mooneyham isn't the only credentialed journalist who uses Wordpress to republish journalistic pieces. WP:V is considered a core policy which mentions the need to consider the credibility of the writer as a factor in identifying something as a reliable source. Also see recent discussion at WT:RSN which cautions against categorically declaring items reliable or unreliable without considering the actual source. In other words, it isn't a black-and-white matter of which website you found the thing at, a rather pernicious POV that's creeped into a lot of AFDs lately. As for multiple sources, we're talking about someone whose career ended before Wikipedia began and who died before WP:PW began. Therefore, extraordinary measures should have been taken, just like any other topic which isn't going to be mentioned on the web today within the past X number of years. Our coverage of pro wrestling topics suffers in that specific regard. If you doubt me, take a look at how many American wrestlers have articles on ja.wiki but don't have articles here. A great many of them were among the biggest wrestling stars in the United States at one point during their careers, but since we're talking about stars of the 1960s and 1970s, the cherry-picked "reliable" websites are going to give them short shrift compared to all the pissing and moaning about Roman Reigns or JBL and whatever controversies they're known for over the past year or two.

  • Keep - As RadioKAOS notes, the article suffers from focusing on a subject who died before the internet boom, but he was prominent in storylines at the height of WCW's popularity (which was part of a "boom period" in wrestling). I added some references for some of the Randy Anderson-nWo feud, which further helps establish notability. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 22:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Yes, the Xconomy article provides the kind of in-depth coverage that contributes to establishing notability. But it's only a single source - WP:GNG requires multiple sources, generally three independent sources are considered sufficient. Also, Xconomy seems to have a (multi-)regional focus, so an article there is not as strong indication of notability as national coverage would be. The Bloomberg profile is still a directory listing, so it should be given minimal weight when considering notability (per WP:CORPDEPTH), especially noting the big blue button "Request Profile Update" at the bottom of the page. Yes, Bloomberg exercises some kind of editorial control over these (so it could be used to verify information), but I'm against such sources contributing anything to notability. It's also telling that the only (as far as I know) substantial coverage is from 2009. LaunchCapital should perhaps be applauded for not buying coverage like many competitors do - you can have the Forbes + Huffington + Techcrunch combo for a fraction of a seed round.
Trivial mentions are OK to use as citations, but are excluded as sources of notability (again, WP:CORPDEPTH). Rentier ( talk) 22:24, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Hmmm ... except the article still fails because it relies on company material and/or sources for facts and information, not to mention that the source is not independent since it goes on to disclose that LaunchCapital invested in xconomy's latest round of financing. -- HighKing ++ 20:39, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD. Small institute with a dozen professors. There is a bit of coverage here and there, but it's all either routine, passing mention, or local.

  • Delete Redirect - I did a little bit of research to look for newspaper mentions regarding this institute and I was able to come up with some information which may be useful for this discussion:
  1. I found two mentions in The Times of India - [25] (2010, doesn't appear to be of much importance) and [26] (2016, starts off with mention of the institute but wanders off talking about an 'expo' towards the end of the article). As for any other newspaper mentions, I failed to find them (even amongst non-English ones).
  2. The institute is recognized by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (an agency established by the Ministry of Human Resources Development of India) along with 97 other institutes (the list is here), many of which are notable and have Wikipedia articles of their own (digging a little deeper, I found that most of the 97 institutes have Wikipedia articles of their own, although some of them facing similar issues as this one, for example: Indian Institute of Information Technology, Ranchi and Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University but that can be resolved in their own deletion discussions).
It is my considered opinion that the second point alone cannot justify keeping the article, hence my vote for its deletion. Jiten Dhandha • talk • contributions • 11:38, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep this technology college does exist. Here is Times of India (regional edition) coverage of a carpet industry trade fair hyping a campus expansion [27]. An article in The Hindu: "As unusual as it sounds, this institute has been set up by the Indian Ministry of Textiles. The Indian Institute of Carpet Technology (IICT) aims at supporting the carpet and allied textile industries by increasing skilled labourers and technical support. The syllabus of the programmes covers both practical as well as theoretical understanding of the process of dyeing, textile fibres, carpet washing, and so on. It also has a range of regular, distance and short-term courses." [28].

WP:NORG and WP:GNG aren't WP:NPROF, and notability is not inherited, and certainly not from passing mention by others who are themselves apparently non-notable.
To E.M.Gregory: I don't think anyone is questioning whether it exists, but no company or organization is considered inherently notable, and no organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools.

  • It is, I think, a good argument for tagging this brand new article for improvement, and giving it time to improve. E.M.Gregory ( talk)
The question remains, is there enough information that can be used for improving the article without making it sound like the information has been picked directly from a primary source (ie, the institute's website)? Currently, the information in the article seems trivial and promotional. Apart from basic information on course-work and its affiliation with JoSAA and Ministry of Textiles, I do not see what else could be included here. If only a few lines of information is worth keeping, then it might be worth redirecting the page to Bhadohi, specifically the section titled "Bhadohi carpets" (or a separate section titled "Education"), and have two to three lines on the institute there.

  • Comment - I've changed my vote to "Redirect" since the institute itself is notable (being recognized by multiple national level bodies in India) but doesn't have enough sources to justify having its own article. The redirect can be supported with a short description of the institute in the article Bhadohi under the section "Bhadohi carpets" or a new section titled "Education". An example of the short description could be:
Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, a one-of-its-kind college in Asia, was established by Ministry of Textiles, Government of India in 2001. It has been recognized by All India Council for Technical Education and is affiliated with Joint Seat Allocation Authority.
The institute offers a Bachelor of Technology in Carpet and Textile Technology (CTT). The syllabus of the programmes covers both practical as well as theoretical understanding of the process of dyeing, textile fibres, carpet washing, and other industrial techniques.
The last statement can be supported by a ref to The Hindu article, as mentioned by E.M.Gregory. Jiten Dhandha • talk • contributions • 09:47, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete or redirect. Per nom, no indication subject meets WP:GNG or WP:BROADCAST. As noted, and given the use of the past-tense for a speculated future event, this (at best) seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON, and (at worst) a case of WP:CRYSTALBALL speculation on something that may happen. (And, even if it does happen, may not meet notability for a standalone article. Under WP:PRODUCT). Personally I think this could be changed to a speedy (under WP:A3 or WP:A7). Otherwise, if we think there is actually a regional station expected of this name, just redirect it to the parent article. And "split it out" again if the regional station gets enough coverage for independent notability. Guliolopez ( talk) 08:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Originally BLPPROD, sources were added but not really enough for a BLP article to stand. Clean up was done(by someone else) to remove unverified things, which was nearly the entire page. Claim to notability is being a retired judge of "Supreme Arbitration court of the Constituent Western Armenia". I originally thought this was a sub-national position in Armenia, but after further research it seems to be a position in the unrecognized state of Western Armenia. That was sourced back to the about us page of the reference that says he was a supreme court judge. [29]. The other source indicates he was a district court judge in Armenia, which isn't a international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office that WP:POLITICIAN needs in order to pass.

BLPPROD was incorrectly removed as all of the sources in the article are unreliable sources connected to the subject or from other unreliable sources such as blogs. The case against inclusion is strong from a notability standpoint as well: the only source to be found about him on Google other than YouTube is Wikipedia because the bot indexed this after the BLPPROD was removed. Additionally, the content is promotional in tone, and appears to have been written by an SPA with the intent of promoting the subject, making it excluded by WP:NOTSPAM and failing the second prong of WP:N.

  • Let's run down your sources:

2. Fleeting, non-notable mention
3. A map?
4. List of schools that doesn't mention Glenealy
5. Fleeting routine biography,which has a profile on every school in the organization
6. Fleeting routine biography
7. Autobiographical
None of your added sources "indicate notability." WP:GNG states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention," and that "'Sources' should be secondary sources," and "Independent of the subject." alphalfalfa( talk) 04:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Added several additional sources, including some from national newspapers (South china morning post). Clearly meets notability guidelines, especially compared to other articles.

Keep - Key part of Hong Kong history in regard to those who attended as well as school itself, which is linked strongly with Hong Kong Park (one of the major parks in the SAR).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyungjoo98 ( talk • contribs)

Already 25 sources (most secondary, 2 articles from SCMP), and just added another one from LCSD website. STSC, how many more do you think is required to establish notability??? Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 09:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to English Schools Foundation. It's a primary school that fails WP:AUD with only local coverage and directory-type listings. The author could try an alternative outlet, such as localwiki:, with different inclusion criteria and where content of local interest might be more suitable. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 16:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC). Incorrect on local coverage. South China Morning Post is a national level newspaper (similar to the NY Times or Straits times, but obviously more focused on Hong Kong related items). Wikipedia is a international encyclopedia, while this article may have no notability in the USA (where understandably most editors are from) this does not mean it has "only local" notability Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 04:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Another comment - only English language references are included at the moment. Chinese language ones are much more numerous (due to HK being majority Chinese speaking). In addition, the suggestion to move to a local wiki is misguided, as Hong Kong is too large to be considered just "local interest". Passes WP:SIGCOV even with just English language sources. Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 04:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง, You are absolutely correct that a plethora of sources does not indicate notability, and that "because lots of Hong Kong people went to it" is not argument (in fact, it can't be an argument, considering the small size of the school). However, this are not the issues that are discussed here. The issue is whether the sources indicate notability. I have stated earlier that there are national-level sources (South China Morning Post, Brand HK (HK Government newssite)), which mention Glenealy School, indicating its notability. In addition, these sources are not of simply local importance, making a move to a local Wiki inappropriate.

In regards to merging to page to the main ESF page, this would create an extremely large and cluttered page, as the ESF is a large organisation which oversees the operation of a very large number of schools. Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 14:15, 12 August 2017 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. The major argument in favor of keeping is that WP:NACADEMIC assumes that full professors are notable. Several people disagree with this.

My own reading of WP:NACADEMIC leads me to believe that this argument is a mis-reading of the Specific criteria notes for criteria 5, which says, The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or Distinguished Professor [...] can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level. That doesn't mean that full professors are notable. It means that named chair appointees must also be full professors. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:50, 13 August 2017 (UTC) reply

That is one opinion, ten years old. Since then GS has expanded in scope and, if citations exist, GS will usually find them. GS will certainly find citations to humanities subjects. However, citations in humanities, particularly by older scholars, tend to be fewer than in the sciences. The difference of citation patterns between fields is well-known to anybody who frequents academic pages, and allowance is (or should) be made. One compares like with like; theology with theology- computer science with computer science. If notability is to be proved, sources have to be found and in this case they have not been yet. Xxanthippe ( talk) 00:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC). reply
  • Delete. The article makes no case for notability by scholarly impact (not just publication) or in any other way. I'd be willing to change my mind if someone here turns up significantly better sources about the subject, but I suspect such sources would be in Georgian, making them difficult for non-Georgians to find. — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:32, 13 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep -- You cannot expect to find a lot of English language sources on a Georgian subject. An academic with 103 articles and 2 monographs has a large body of work, but you cannot expect English language citation indices to record this. Transliteration is not an exact science and even a minor difference in that is liable to upset the count from any citation index. If Georgian WP thinks her notable, I do not think we English one should dissent. Translation notices are only appropriate where the English needs improving. Peterkingiron ( talk) 14:52, 16 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: NACADEMIC generally supports notability of a full professor and department head. We do have language issues and if the content that is in there is verifiable, which it apparently is, then it is clear this individual meets the GNG threshold. Maybe not by a big margin, but enough.

  • Comment. If other editors think there's likely to be enough coverage in Georgian sources to keep this article then I'd consider that a good outcome, but I'm not sure where this idea that WP:PROF presumes full professors are notable is coming from. What it actually says is that a named chair or distinguished professor at a major institution can be presumed to be notable ( WP:PROF#C5). This is a significantly higher bar than just being a full professor (a term which, by the way, only makes sense in a North American context). Besides, her English faculty page says Gujejiani is an associate professor [40]. –  Joe ( talk) 21:48, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply

(not a !vote) Not really a disambig page. It is an euphemism used by some to describe some battles, not really mane them. Similarly, Idiot (disambiguation) does not list Donald Trump, although not an uncommon reference.

Comment we do have List of scandals with "-gate" suffix, so we could convert the dab to a list, but the inclusion criteria based on a quote seems not solid. Of note is that the -gate topic is also covered in Snowclone#"-Gate" and similar suffixes. Widefox; talk 16:49, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply
  • 'Keep or redirect to Snowclone#The Mother of All X I guess, or some other outcome which is helpful to the reader. I mean it seems to me like this: The user types in the string "mother of all battles". Presumably the reader wants some information. So how should we handle this request for information? Well...
  • We can take her to this page, where she can then maybe drill down further to get to where she maybe wants to go.
  • Or we could take her somewhere else. Gulf War, maybe (perhaps that is the primary topic for the string) or perhaps to Snowclone#The Mother of All X if that seems better (although the person did include "battles" specifically) or some other place that is helpful to the reader.
  • Or we could delete this page as suggested, and leave her in the dark. Perhaps we could replace the page with a notice "Yes, we have this info, but we don't feel like taking you to it, so you're shit out of luck. But good luck with your Google search!". We could do that.
But I'm not seeing the win-win for option three, tbh. Herostratus ( talk) 17:04, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply
Herostratus Yes, I would also support a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC redirect targeting Snowclone#The Mother of All X anyhow. Would merge be an option for her? Another outcome is redirect to a section of List of "mother of all". Widefox; talk 17:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete The article is very biassed and not neutral point of view, and seems to use its ostensible topic as a coatrack for attacks on various organisations, although it's not entirely clear what its precise aim is (although the nomination itself is equally propagandist and just as out of place on Wikipedia). -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 15:04, 28 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep - Colapeninsula The article is mainly based on report developed by an independent international think tank and portrays the findings of the report based on the investigation carried out and comprehensively described not only within the report itself, but also in articles in numerous foreign media. The aim - as it goes with each article in Wikipedia and the general mission of any encyclopedia, is to bring more clarity to the term cognac diplomacy which is being frequently used in connection to Armenia’s informal diplomacy, which was also acknowledged by Armenians themselves. Respective article is provided. Vugar Z ( talk) 09:57, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep: First of all concerns expressed in the comments did not exist before the user Divot made the edits. He changed the article entirely and provided biased view and only after this proposed it for deleting. The original version of the article reflected numerous links of news coverage 

regarding the topic moreover the article didn’t only base on ESISC report.  There is not any view of author in the article  and every paragraph is
noted with source and was written in neutral language. Therefore I’m undoing all changes made by Devot.  Every editor is more than welcome to contribute to the article based on Wikipedia rules but not vandalizing the page as Divot did. @Divot  — Preceding

"The term is mentioned periodically in the bribery case of Venice Commission by the Armenians and Nazarbayev's former Press Secretary Ajdosa Sarymova." [41] - can you find any word about Venice Commission or Ajdosa Sarymova in this link [42]? Please cite it. Divot ( talk) 19:30, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply
This confusion derives from the wording which maybe needs more clarification but it’s cited information. This thought is based on allegations of bribing of Venice Commission by Armenian officials. It was stated by Armenian MP Levon Zurabyan where he promised to submit facts and was widely covered in Armenian media also with reaction of government which initiated investigations on the case. Respective links to media articles are added.

"This confusion derives from the wording" - your wording, Coneyislandqueentobe, your misinformative wording
"allegations of bribing of Venice Commission by Armenian officials" - just one MP (not Armenian official) promised to submit facts, without used term "Cognac diplomacy", by the way. And what? Did he submit that facts? Any document? Any court's decision? Nothing. Absolute zero. Don't put fake links and incorrect information in the article. Divot ( talk) 16:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep This article is developed in line to Wikipedia rules with respect to neutrality. ESISC is an international think tank established in Brussels. There are articles on media in Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia. These links existed in the text before edited by Divot. Divot’s thoughts are contradictory as he names the organization to be Baku lobbyist at the same time he amends the article so that it reflects pro-Armenian position as criticizing Azerbaijan. Another contradiction is that why there are numerous vandalism attempts and changes made to the article if the purpose is to have the article deleted. Kingedik ( talk) 13:12, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Let's rename article to "ESISC", if it is an international think tank established in Brussels, no problem. Just like in Russian [43] and French [44] Wikipedia.
But where does "cognac diplomacy" come from? Not a single major media has written about this report. Of course, they do not comment on stupid conspiracy theories. Divot ( talk) 11:17, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply


Keep: please note that the term of cognac diplomacy was existing before the report and below is several articles on media in Moldova and Armenia itself where this term is noted. In Article in Armenia Armenian author notes that cognac is considered as the element of national diplomacy. See Ashot Martirosyan's interview Sona Sh ( talk) 19:10, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply

"Ashot Martirosyan's intervie" - it's a fake. Ashot Martirosyan said about cultural diplomacy, not abut lobbing. Divot ( talk) 19:26, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply
It is not fake. Martirosyan calls it the national diplomacy but not the cultural one and admits that Armenians have solved at least one problem with a bottle of cognac so far. Sona Sh ( talk) 08:54, 31 July 2017 (UTC) reply
The correct mean is "Armenian cognac is a national endow, I would even call it national diplomacy. It's no secret that every Armenian for once in his live have solved a problem with a bottle of Armenian cognac". It's just a joke, irony, about Armenians (really every Armenian have solved a problem with a bottle of Armenian cognac? Including babyes?), not about lobbying or diplomacy . So, it's fake link, like all other Coneyislandqueentobe's links. If you have problems understanding Russian text and irony, I can advise a good interpreter.

Keep: I hold the view that, the page should be assessed in its original version, before the edits were made by those who proposed the page for deletion. Simply by referring to Wikipedia rules, one can reaffirm that the page is not eligible for any of the reasons for deletion: Article does not violate any copyright, does not amount to vandalism, is not placed for advertising based on irrelevant encyclopedic content, provides a number of reliable sources. Very importantly, the article meets the requirements of notability guidelines. A quick reminder that, according to these guidelines, “Article content does not determine notability. Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article”. And I’m quoting the guidelines again:“If the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability”.Evidence of notability of this article comprises recognized publications, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources. Last but not least, I would like to remind that, prior to nominating a page for deletion alternatives to deletion - like improving the page should be considered. Wikipedia can be made a better resource of knowledge if users contribute by improving the articles, rather than trying to delete everything that contradicts their views or opinions.

  • The European Stability Initiative prepared Caviar Diplomacy report. It names itself as thinktank according to information on official webpage. Here is excerpt from its page "Europe's think tank for South East Europe and enlargement - films and reports on the Balkans, Turkey, Central Europe and the South Caucasus." This report had been cited/referred as a source in Wikipedia articles, acted as base for creation of caviar diplomacy page in Wikipedia. The same is with ESISC thinktank, here is excerpt from official webpage "-ESISC acts as a think tank; numerous members of the team engage regularly with the media, participate in university research, and publish reference works and scientific articles" so the status of both organizations is the same and the same approach should be applied while deciding a text derived from their activities and reports. Why do we refer to a thinktank and keep the text in one case and delete in another. Kingedik ( talk) 13:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
"so the status of both organizations is the same" - realy?

Once more, no one major media.
But about ESISC report we have commentaries "The report is written in the worst traditions of authoritarian propaganda, makes absurd claims, and is clearly aimed at deflecting the wave of criticism against cover-up of unethical lobbying and corruption in PACE and demands for change in the Assembly" and ""ESISC report is full of lies"
After European Stability Initiative report we have "Europe's top human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe, has launched an investigation into alleged corruption at the council involving Azerbaijan" [50]

  • Comment One of the pitfalls of deleting this article is that Kyle Kulinski is a fairly strong critic of both the mainstream media and mainstream US politics, and he is also involved in setting up the Justice Democrats political action committee intended to primary candidates against corporate-funded Democrats, so there is a risk of creating the perception that he is being deliberately "silenced" by the "establishment". To remedy this, I recreated the article as a redirect to The Young Turks#TYT Network, where he is listed. A perhaps better alternative would be to redirect to Justice Democrats, where he is more prominently mentioned. - Spacemartin ( talk) 13:22, 28 July 2017 (UTC) reply
I guess another pitfall (without sounding biased towards him) is that media coverage generally avoids YouTube outlets in favor of more "establishment" ones on television, or at least long-established independent commentators like Cenk Uygur (though he did spend time at MSNBC and had a show on Sirius XM).

TR-3 Black Manta

The TR-3 Black Manta is a supposed "black project" aircraft for the U.S. Military. There is little evidence to substantiate the claims in the article and most of the references that do exist are highly speculative. As a result, much of the content of the article is either original research or synthesis. Noha307 ( talk) 20:25, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge with Black triangle (UFO): the article does not pretend the craft is real and that the claims can be substantiated, only that it is widely discussed and the claims are verifiable as having been made. Other craft in this position include the Aurora project. Nevertheless, I agree that there is not enough valid content here to sustain a standalone article. I'd suggest creating a section at Black triangle (UFO), listing types (real or imagined) that such triangle sightings have been identified with. Another example (which a quick google will verify) is the BAE Systems Taranis drone. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 07:52, 21 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - As far as I can tell, none of the current sources are significant mentions of the game, just off-hand remarks that the game existed. The AMA transcript is dubiously reliable. There are a couple of reviews on Mobygames in German from 1993, but only two significant mentions still doesn't meet notability standards. I oppose a merge in the case of deletion as "Dare to Dream" is a somewhat common phrase even if it doesn't have an article. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep There is an in-depth source here, plus a source where Venning is both the writer and partially the subject, and a similar story in the Daily Mail here, and another one here, and a similar writer-subject story in The Telegraph, and another one here. So, here's a question: are these stories in which Venning is both the author and the subject, in media such as the Daily Mail and The Telegraph, are these primary or secondary sources? So, I'm a bit on the fence here, but the article is not excessive, but (if it stays) there should be more information on Venning's pop-culture focus.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Does not appear to be a notable band; only one release of theirs seemed to have charted, and even then, only in Melbourne. I also could not find enough significant coverage about this band; even the only YouTube video I could find admitted that the band "was not very commercially successful". Given the band's age, it's possible that some coverage might exist offline, and indeed, the same YouTube video hints that the band might have been somewhat influential in the Melbourne music scene of the 1970s.

Many of the individual examples are referenced, albeit much more frequently to unreliable sources like fansites than to reliable source coverage in media, but what's lacking is sourcing to demonstrate that the concept of uncredited background singers is notable enough in its own right to warrant a separate article from the general concept of background singers. Yes, this happens, but there are no sources comprehensively analyzing its notability as a concept -- all this does is WP:SYNTH a bunch of discrete and otherwise unconnected examples, and thus it constitutes an act of original research to call this a notable thing.

I'm renominating this for deletion as I said I would during the deletion review. I'm afraid Mr Renard does not meet the minimum threshold for a Wikipedia biography, in that there is insufficient information about him as a person in the reliable sources. The sources don't tell us his date of birth, nationality, profession, or really any other biographical information at all ---- so it's simply not possible to base a biographical article on reliable sources. What limited sources we do have relate purely to his books. His biography should be deleted. — S Marshall T/ C 21:56, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: The WP:DRV for this article was closed less than 10 hours ago as a near-unanimous endorsement of the no consensus closure of the previous AfD [1]. The closer of the DRV, RoySmith, reminded everyone of WP:RENOM#Renominating for deletion, which states "If the XfD discussion was closed as 'no consensus', generally do not renominate the page for at least two months", and of WP:RENOM#Advice on renominating, which states "When you do renominate, try to make a better nomination statement than was made last time. Address directly the issues that caused the participants to not be persuaded last time. Emphasize the issues that were not sufficiently considered last time. Be warned that some consider renominations to be disruptive, or gaming. Don’t exacerbate this problem by badgering the participants in the new discussion." Moreover, the previous AfD was non-neutrally canvassed (including all sorts of false aspersions) here: [2], and the DRV was also non-neutrally canvassed in that same thread.

This is an interesting question about AFD's [10], this all he in fact did was to inform a notice board full of people who had commented on the last AFD, thus he in fact notified interested parties. Now we can also see he only did it on the one notice board (rather then contacting everyone). But is this in fact canvasing? I would ask JPS to not respond to this latest attack on his integrity.

  • Delete for lack of WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. Reynard's books and films are not notable, making it hard to argue that he passes WP:AUTHOR #3. or 4. He fails WP:AUTHOR #.2 because sole claim to notability is writing "books' stated purpose is to reawaken interest in and clarify the core principles of the 1976 spiritual text A Course In Miracles" And also because the books are not notable (I.e., not widely reviewed, cited, or discussed in WP:RS.) That leaves WP:AUTHOR #.1 :"The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." And here we have to face the fact that despite the fact that the article has been here since 2005 and this is the 5th AfD, none of the editors arguing for keeping have been able to bring sources that would establish this point. The books cited in the article are within the A Course In Miracles thought tradition (a small, walled garden) and are not notable books. Nor do they appear to give WP:SIGCOV to Reynard's work. Nor, for that matter, does any source I can find. The items that come up on a news archive search (Proquest) are primarily press releases and event listing talks in local events columns. I can find nothing that approached WP:SIGCOV in a soruce independent of Reynard and A Course In Miracles. Nor can I find anything resembling a published profile of him. Topic fails WP:GNG.

  • Procedural keep per Lepricavark. I haven't evaluated the notability or lack there of but it's way too soon to open another AfD. It's not like there's be a substantial change since then. Yes the previous AFD may have been somewhat disrupted by the canvassing concerns, but it should have been fairly obvious that opening this when the thread which started the canvassing was still there would just lead to the same result. In other words, this thread is just a waste of time since realistically it's only likely to end up with the same result. Nil Einne ( talk) 08:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Utterly trivial author, unjustified article. His notability in connection with A Course in Miracles is supposed to be having written a book based on it, which is too indirect an assertion--I notice it is not even mentioned in the article on the book. This does not meet the requirements of WP::AUTHOR,, which is the guideline here. Of the 4 books about him mentioned, the first two appear to be self-published. The people citing him seem to be mostly related to his movement,. The results of the first 2 afds were so idiosyncratic, and the 3rd was a non-consdnsus. The essay on renomination does not in my opinion represent WP guidelines and WP practice. A non consensus close can be renominated immediately, tho I usually advise people to wait a few weeks in the hope of getting further consensus. (the essay suggests 2 months, but we very frequently renominate sooner than that. ) Yes, I came here after ANI. ANI is an appropriate way to call attention to peculiarities like this walled garden.

No, it's a way of saying why the fuck should we waste our time analysing something now, when we know what the outcome is going to be? Instead we should all stop wasting our time, and actually do something useful which will improve the encyclopaedia. Deleting this article may or may not do so, but it's clear it's never going to happen from this AfD so it's a silly and utter waste of time for us to be here. The sooner people realise this is pointless the better since then they can go back to improving wikipedia. I mean even if you feel there is some urgency to delete this article, this would almost definitely happen faster if this AFD was closed right now rather than staying open for 7 days or whatever, leading to either a keep or a no consensus and possibly another deletion review and so more time before another AFD can resonably be held and probably more acrimony next time. (Let alone compared to the much more resonable situation if this AFD was never opened and we let the past problems die a needed death.) Nil Einne ( talk) 17:55, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
That's not what it means. "Procedural Keep" is not the same thing as "This is a waste of time". I can point to AfDs that were closed as delete where people !voted "Procedural Keep". "Merits of the argument" used to mean something at Wikipedia and, occasionally, we arrive at situations where it still does. jps ( talk) 18:10, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
No, it's a way of saying why the fuck should we waste our time analysing something now, when we know what the outcome is going to be? We do? From the last AfD, a cursory glance would inform you of an obvious "Delete" result. It's only because Ritchie took the time to review the arguments that he realized that nobody was arguing about the article, but about the behavioral accusations. Even if one trims those out, we're left with the "Delete" side arguing "There's no notability, check these search results." and the "Keep" side arguing "Shut up!!!1!" So that seems like an obvious "Delete" to me, as well. But then, look at the !votes here... So I'm not sure what you think the obvious outcome is going to be. There's more people voting to keep this time, but their arguments have nothing at all to do with the notability of the article, which is pretty much a non-argument. To be honest, were I the admin handling these AfDs, I'd have close the previous one as "No Consensus" with a strong encouragement to try again without the bickering. But this one? I'd close this one as "Delete" with a suggestion that everyone who !voted "procedural keep" should probably read WP:CONLEVEL and WP:LAWYER and please try to remained focused on the content. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 18:44, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I stand by my !vote, regardless of whether anyone finds it convincing. We just had this discussion and the closure was upheld at DRV. It is not okay to flout proper procedure because one doesn't like the outcome. I don't like the precedent that could be set if this is closed in favor of deletion. Do we really want this to become commonplace? Lepricavark ( talk) 01:29, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

This isn't an issue of people not getting their way. I not only endorsed Ritchie's close of the last AfD (a "No consensus" close), but I attempted to support and advise him on his talk page. I think Ritchie made the right call, because the previous AfD was a clusterfuck. Believe it or not, my pile of fucks-to-give doesn't have a single one earmarked for this article. I couldn't care less whether it's deleted or not. But this AfD poses a question, to which I have provided an answer. Several other users have provided an answer to a very different question, and are now doing much to turn this particular AfD into a repeat of the previous clusterfuck. I seriously don't get the emotional investment some people seem to make in these discussions? Who the fuck cares if softlavender and jfg are at each other's throats? Who the fuck cares that someone else thought a brand new AfD, right after the clusterfuck was the way to go? The only thing that it makes any sense to care about is whether or not this article meets our notability guidelines. I'm sorry to say; not only does it not meet them, the fact that it doesn't does not appear to be in any serious dispute. So if this AfD gets closes as Keep or No Consensus, then there will soon be another one, and as long as they keep getting disrupted by bad-faith accusations and wikilawyering from a positions of exasperation at the drama this article caused, there will be no grounds whatsoever on which to ban editors from starting AfD after AfD after AfD.
So this problem has a fairly simple solution; delete the fucking article and we can all move on with our lives. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 18:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
If this is closed with the deletion of the article, it will set a potentially dangerous precedent for other articles to be repeatedly taken to AfD until the desired (by some) result is achieved. I don't think that is a good precedent to set. I don't know why you would tell me that it doesn't make any sense to care about that. Lepricavark ( talk) 23:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
If this is closed with the keeping of the article, it will set a potentially dangerous precedent for other AfD's to be derailed from an obvious consensus (6 to 1 with no arguments even claiming suitable levels of sourcing) with a few well-placed accusations. The appeal to consequences goes both ways. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:14, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Perhaps it does, although IMO insufficient attention has been paid to the very valid concerns I've raised.

Lepricavark ( talk) 03:14, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply
That is distinctly possible. It's also possible that the WP:BLUDGEONy accusations of canvassing are discouraging editors as well.

That doesn't appear to be the case. The delete !voters don't seem the slightest bit discouraged from chiming in. It's easier for you to say "ignore all the drama" when you haven't been repeatedly misquoted and insulted, but I do see your point. Lepricavark ( talk) 20:52, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge and redirect - I have not participated in any of the previous deletion discussions. I read the arguments and the sources, and did some searches of my own. I was going to abstain based on procedure but DGG made a good point about how exceptions to the two month wait after an AfD close are allowable. The only two arguments in favor of keeping this article that I could find are that there are 1,084 reviews on Amazon for his book The Disappearance of the Universe [ [13]] and the book is ranked #15 (although in a very narrow category - #15 in Books > Religion & Spirituality > Occult & Paranormal > Ancient & Controversial Knowledge) [ [14]] But, I can't find any mainstream coverage on him or the book. So, absent reliable coverage, this article clearly fails WP:GNG. That being said, it's a well-known fact that there are church groups that mobilize en masse to attend religious movies and buy related books, and so there's a large "hidden" subculture that is ignored by the mainstream media. To address this, I recommend a compromise - taking some of the info about the book and putting it in a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works, and redirecting this article there. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 21:13, 7 August 2017 (UTC) reply
AMazon reviews of books or anything else are user contributed, and the number of them reflects not the number of readers as much as their desire to write a review. Any look at any useer review site will show that the people making comments are those who are inveterate fans beyond rational belief, and irrational despisers, likewise. Only those people are motivated to write the review--the conclusion from this is that only a few people read these books, but those fe are violently POV about them. That is not the same as notability. DGG ( talk ) 00:23, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge/redirect to a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works per Timtempleton ( talk · contribs). I was able to find significant mainstream coverage about Gary Renard's book The Disappearance of the Universe in two sources:
    1. Garrett, Lynn (2005-03-07). "'Disappearance' Appears Big Time". Publishers Weekly. Archived from the original on 2017-08-08. Retrieved 2017-08-08.

      The article notes:

      What propels a book to the number 2 spot on Amazon—second only to the new Harry Potter—when there have been no major trade reviews, no advertising, no national media exposure and no placement on any regional or national bestsellers lists? What motivates 141 readers to post glowing reviews? In other words: What's the deal with Hay House's The Disappearance of the Universe?

      Originally published in May 2003 by Fearless Books, Gary Renard's Disappearance—subtitled Straight Talk About Illusions, Past Lives, Religion, Sex, Politics, and the Miracles of Forgiveness—was picked up by Hay House, which published its edition in October.

      The book sold 25,000 copies in the Fearless edition and more than 30,000 for Hay House before the author and Hay House decided to turn up the volume. Renard hired Peggy McColl, whose company, Dynamic Destinies, does online marketing for authors and publishers. Renard paid McColl's consulting fee; Hay House pitched in for the contact lists and other costs, and Fearless publisher D. Patrick Miller contributed his labor.

      ...

      Much of Disappearance grows out of Renard's study of A Course in Miracles,the 1976 three-volume set of books that became a spiritual curriculum for many individuals and study groups. Course remains a cult favorite, retaining a spot above 500 in the Amazon rankings and selling an estimated 1.5 million copies. Renard said Disappearance (his first book) took him nine years to write, "and it's all true." It describes Renard's conversations with a pair of "ascended masters" (spiritual guides) who began visiting him in 1992 (they recommended he study the Course). He added, "Yes, it was a great campaign, but it also took a strong book to make it as successful as it was. The book was already an underground hit—it had great reviews and a strong Web site presentation, as well as excellent word of mouth in the spiritual community and an author who has flown 100,000 miles in the last year to promote it."

    2. Wilson, Brandy (2006-07-29). "Community of Faith: NEWS FROM HOUSES OF WORSHIP: 'Disappearance of Universe' author to host workshop". The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Archived from the original on 2017-08-08. Retrieved 2017-08-08.

      The article notes:

      Author Gary Renard received some strange visitors while meditating in his home alone one evening.

      Renard claims in his book, "The Disappearance of the Universe," that he opened his eyes from a meditation session to find a mysterious young couple sitting on his couch. In 17 subsequent conversations with the couple over the next nine years, Renard says they revealed themselves as ascended masters sent to teach him about the "divine intelligence of the universe" --- religion, reincarnation, forgiveness and more.

      To those unfamiliar with Renard, his claims may seem a little hard to swallow. But through word of mouth, his book, based on teachings from and time spent with the couple, has found a significant place in the spiritual world. Its even been compared with the spiritual society's signature book "A Course in Miracles," by Helen Schucman and William Thetford. Both books are based on the author's writings on a series of divine visits and conversations. Renard's book also contains analyses of some of Schucman's primary teachings.

    I have searched extensively for sources about Gary Renard and his books; these are the two best sources I could find. Most of the other sources I found were passing mentions in newspapers or extensive coverage in self-published books, which is insufficient to establish notability. As these two articles are primarily about his book, I do not think they are enough for him to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

    Two sources about a book are enough to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria. The Publishers Weekly review can be used to establish notability for The Disappearance of the Universe. But as an article about an event listing, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution source likely is not enough to establish notability. Since there is only one solid source about The Disappearance of Universe, I do not recommend creating an article about the book since it probably would get deleted or merged.

    I therefore support a selective merge to a new section called A Course in Miracles#Associated works per Timtempleton because the Publishers Weekly and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution articles clearly connect Gary Renard and his book, The Disappearance of the Universe, with A Course in Miracles.

  • I do not oppose this merge, which is entirely justified by the sources. Nevertheless, my position is that if the close is "merge and redirect", then the redirect should be fully protected to prevent this rather longstanding and persistently-defended walled garden from being restored against consensus. Alternatively, the article could be deleted and then a fresh redirect created, preserving attribution by one of the methods suggested at WP:PATT.

I agree - and was actually thinking that same thing myself. Since enough info is at the new redirect destination now, would a pure delete and then a recreation as a redirect work? Despite having come to this late and not really having any skin in the game, once this is deleted, I'd be happy to recreate Gary Renard as a redirect and monitor it in case the content has already been saved somewhere in a sandbox by persistent keep advocates. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 17:33, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
A delete-and-recreate would work but you used the pre-existing article as a basis for the text you added to A Course in Miracles ---- so we have to give the people who wrote that material credit for their work (which is in the terms of use). They still own the copyright in their contributions. Wikipedia uses them under licence. Normally, credit to content authors is by means of the "view history" link, but if we delete the article then we hide the history, so we have to find another way to give them credit for their work. This is what WP:PATT is about. I expect the closer will avoid that though ---- I expect they'll just fully protect the redirect, keeping the history, and add {{ afd-merged-from}} to Talk:A Course in Miracles (as has already been done in respect of another article that's been merged there). That's the least laborious way to do it. Strictly speaking, you should have added a merger template when you copied material from one article to another, but to be fair the rules on copying within Wikipedia are rather obscure and not widely known! The closer will probably sort it out.— S Marshall T/ C 18:29, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I just rewrote the section, keeping the sources. Does that work? Interesting that entire articles are added to mirror sites where there is no attribution, yet a section can't be moved within Wikipedia from one article to the next. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 18:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Well, I suppose that's up to the closer whether it's sufficient, but personally if I was closing, I wouldn't be completely comfortable with that. Although I'm sure this wasn't your intention, rewriting it to avoid attribution has a faint whiff of an end-run around the terms of use. The {{ afd-merged-from}} route is really quite easy to use and gives us an ironclad assurance that we're fulfilling our copyright licensing promises.— S Marshall T/ C 22:54, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comments on recent events: The DRV for the last review was closed 13:09, 4 August 2017 (UTC) with linked advice not to re-nominate within two-month's time: [15]. Three hours later, after seeing that the DRV was closed, I began improving the article by adding text cited to reliable independent third-party sources: [16]. Two hours later, jps, who filed the previous AfD and who has repeatedly non-neutrally canvassed these AfDs, gutted the article by removing 1,772 bytes of text instead of tagging {{cn}}: [17]. Three hours later, defying the advice of the DRV-closing admin, S Marshall opened this fourth AFD less than 10 hours after the DRV close. To repeat what I've stated previously, the subject easily meets #2 of WP:ANYBIO and #1 and #3 of WP:NAUTHOR. The current state of the article does not change that fact. The fact of the matter is that providing abundant sourced text for the article is more time-consuming than it was several years ago because of the current state of how GoogleBooks and Google itself works, and also because Amazon no longer allows "Search Inside This Book". Searches for this subject require more targeted searches and take time. If there hadn't been all of the drama created by the four-fold non-neutral canvassing (of the previous AFD, the DRV, this AfD, and the ANI) and the immediate (less than 10 hours after the DRV) re-nom, this article would have easily been drastically improved in two month's time (the time length indicated in the DRV-closing admin's links). Softlavender ( talk) 20:36, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
This page has been little more than fancruft even since is was first nominated back in 2006 when it looked like this. It has never been an encyclopedia article.

Since your position is that you haven't had time to provide sources for this article that's existed since 2006, then how about we make a deal? Here's my offer. If, at any time after this is closed, you ever find the two (2) independent, reliable sources containing biographical information about Mr Renard that are the minimum standard for a Wikipedia article about him, then post them on my talk page and I will personally apologise to you, bring it to Deletion Review, and see that it's restored.— S Marshall T/ C 22:54, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Nowhere have I stated or implied anything of the sort. Nor is AfD about making "deals"; it's about notability. This subject clearly meets #2 of WP:ANYBIO and #1 and #3 of WP:NAUTHOR, as I demonstrated in my !vote: [18]. Moreover, WP:Renominating for deletion#Advice on renominating, which RoySmith linked to in his close of the DRV in addition to the two-month hiatus guideline, states "Don’t exacerbate this problem by WP:BADGERing the participants in the new discussion." Softlavender ( talk) 23:11, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Oh, I'm sorry, when you said searches for this subject require more targeted searches and take time, I understood that to mean that you needed time to find your sources. If I've got that wrong, then please post them now.— S Marshall T/ C 23:14, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Stop badgering people to stop badgering. Only in death does duty end ( talk) 12:21, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Don't think that'll happen, OID. Softlavender's quite heavily invested in keeping this article. Unfortunately for him it's a poorly-sourced article about an un-notable person who peddles something somewhere between a fringe religious position and pseudoscientific woo ---- and Softlavender is, it's quite clear, unable to offer any better sources than the desperately inadequate ones already mentioned above. So Softlavender's response is to try to turn it into a conduct dispute about the terrible behaviour of the evil nominators. Jps played into this strategy by making a note on AN/I that could be portrayed as non-neutral canvassing. I have not, so Softlavender is trying to leverage an essay that RoySmith mentioned in his DRV close to stop me from answering him ("badgering"). If he relinquishes that position then the article has no further defence, so I anticipate persistence.

And the truth is that I am "badgering". I'm positively required to do so by the second paragraph of WP:BLP ---- a consideration that far outweighs the essay on which Softlavender would like to rely. Policy demands that I am, and I quote, "very firm about the use of high-quality sources". So badger, badger, badger.— S Marshall T/ C 16:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

If it gets closed as "keep", then certainly not. That would be disruptive. But a "keep" closure based on this debate would be unlikely to survive DRV, don't you think?

Anyone can self-release songs; that doesn't make them notable.

But business journals are explicitly considered unacceptable by both WP:ORGIND and WP:GNG, so how they can considered acceptable in this one specific instance? SwisterTwister talk 21:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply
I disagree with the claim that business journals can't be used to source information about businesses. I'm not sure what WP:ORGIND is but can you show me specifically in WP:GNG where it says that? Forbes, Fortune and Crain's (from various cities) are all used quite extensively as Wikipedia sources, and my local business journals are also great sources of info on local businesses. In this specific case, from what DreamyShade added below, PC Magazine, CIO magazine and Computerworld are all considered notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Discounting them as worthless hurts your credibility as an AfD voter or AfD delete nominator of business articles. If you tried to delete those articles, you'd find this out from many others besides me. I'm also going to have to disagree that a funding announcement is not news. Funding announcements are very good indicators that a company has gotten to the critical point and is finally ready to take off. There's a term called Unicorn that specifically refers to companies that are valued at $1B due to recent funding rounds. I know you wouldn't (or at least I hope you wouldn't) suggest that since funding is immaterial news, that article should be deleted as well? Funding is very reliable info - companies have to file Form D financial statements within 15 days of funding - they can't make the numbers up. Also, you and I have discussed this in at least one other prior deletion discussion, but saying that media coverage that is spurred by a press release should be ignored on principle, I'm sorry to say, just shows a misunderstanding of the role of public relations in business. Thousands and thousands of press releases are released every day. Journalists only cover the ones that seem to be notable to them. Business journalists don't sit outside of most business offices trying to get scoops - they scan the wire services. Finally, per your note and examples below, I agree with you that there's a COI trend here, maybe not all of them but at least from the single article editors, but if there are 2-3 people working together from a company, and none of them are as experienced with Wikipedia guidelines as you and I, it's conceivable that this could be innocent editing. Once they get bitten and realize that they screwed up, I don't blame them for wanting to stay low and not declare a COI. For all they know, you could be passionate and volatile - they don't whether or not you might try to do PR damage to the company. The nominator has been sanctioned for tag bombing articles and canvassing, and narrowly avoided another ban. These are not CEOs and business owners themselves doing this editing - they are likely rank and file employees who could very well fear getting fired for what happens to the company as a result of these notability attacks and tag bombs. But this shouldn't be grounds for not allowing others to try to improve articles and maybe save them, as I'm trying to. Otherwise, your best intentions will likely only drive more people to paid editors. Did you catch this? [ [20]] TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:55, 1 August 2017 (UTC) reply

I found many additional third-party reliable sources with a Google News search, such as:

Actually GNG says we cannot accept funding announcements or interviews which three-fourths of what's above is exactly this. Adding to this, GNG also says that editorial discretion is not a sole factor in notability, but actually the weight of whether the content is actually independent, so because the information is interviews and mentions, it cannot be valid.

  • Keep – The article has received some copy editing after the nomination for deletion to address concerns with promotionalism, and per a source review, the topic meets WP:GNG.

  • Delete as I analyzed the sources and easily found them to be promotional, see: 1 is an indiscriminate list which violates WP:Not guide given an article should not read like a "how-to" style owner's manual, cookbook, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box. This includes tutorials, instruction manuals, game guides, and recipes. Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use or do something is not, 2 is only 1 review, 3 is like the 1st one and, worse, because it's a company interview therefore not independent at all and 4 is following this, 5 is a funding list which cannot satisfy WP:ORGIND since it says "anything directly or indirectly by the company or where the company talks about itself, routine announcements or listings", 6 is like the first one, and actually from a local TV station (therefore not substantial or significant) and The tool, dubbed Mavenlink Resource Planning and Management, intends to treat your projects and resources as interconnected cyclical processes more akin to enterprise resource planning (ERP) rather than one-off tasks. This pivot is designed to give managers and planners the ability to address company changes that might affect multiple project timelines, budgets, and profitability. The solution spans the service lifecycle from sales commitment to project delivery and postmortem analysis and finally 7 and 8 are once again anything directly or indirectly by the company since it says Upstairs at Mavenlink, employees are helping fast-growing businesses navigate digital obstacles. Andy Leavitt of Mavenlink describes the company's mission this way: "Anybody who bills for a fee, we want those businesses to come to us." and the company quickly expanded into Utah to find the tech talent it needed to help clients manage projects all over the world. As WP:Deletion policy and WP:NOT state quite clearly, we are not a promotional webhost and suggesting that we make exceptions simply because of publication name is violating our fundamental pillar WP:Neutrality. As for GNG, it actually says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability" and "nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason" (links to WP:What Wikipedia which is cited as a guaranteed policy factor). To analyze the Keep votes, one of them suggests a local trade publication but these are exactly "directly or indirectly by the company", the next offers the same business journal and none of that actually gives us new material to examine. See also WP:GNG which clearly states Publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability. Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, autobiography, product placement and most paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article so GNG cannot be an instant guaranteed it can be accepted since there are still valid concerns. As for copyediting, the specific page about this process actually says "Promotion cannot be improved if it still other concerns", and this is especially valid when considering clear COI as this, this, this, this, this and others, so suggesting that we brush it under the rug in absence of taking action on it, is not part of our goals here. Considering these were repeated back-to-back patterns, it's highly likely to say they were company employees, worse when they themselves were either sourcing back to the company website or pasting from it, therefore we have applicable concerns in our Terms of Use violations. In fact, the only changes made here were to remove a few pieces of puffery but the promotionalism was still noticeable, that is instantly evidence for WP:Deletion policy as unsuitable encyclopedia material. Suggesting that we act closer to a news source and cover special interests or trade subjects, would be violating WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper (policy). As the nomination states, "Blatant promotion" is in fact perfectly applicable. SwisterTwister talk 21:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply

    This article is not routine coverage. The article contains detailed analysis and questioning of Mavenlink's decisions:

    While this is the obvious next step for Mavenlink in its expansion it may be making an error. Currently the SaaS company is hosting its data on AWS in Oregon with a disaster recovery centre in Virginia. Asked whether they would be opening up a European instance Mavenlink responded: “Given the networked ecosystem architecture of our application, we are leveraging the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework for data privacy, and leveraging other, modern methods to deliver performance across global geographies.”

    While Mavenlink are now certified under the EU-US privacy shield this may not be enough to win some clients. This is especially true in Germany where data sovereignty is especially important. The EU-US privacy shield was criticised heavily last year. Most major hosting companies now have European data centres there seems little reason not to have an instance in the EU. It will be interesting to see what the Mavenlink strategy on this will be going forward. It may be that they are awaiting a critical mass of companies before opening up a non-US instance. The risk is that without that data centre in Europe they may find that some companies will not want to sign up.

    This article from Computerworld is also skeptical of Mavenlink's decisions:

    MyPOV

    I'm not convinced. Not because I believe the hype that SaaS requires no professional services, but more because Mavenlink has a difficult job to do here. For one thing, it has to differentiate its own product from the on-premises offerings out there. The general way that SaaS vendors do that is by articulating the ease of use, reduced time to value, better economics and easier integration that SaaS products bring. But by introducing MavenOps, Mavenlink needs to start articulating the very opposite: that SaaS is hard and that consulting is needed to deliver value.

    I'll be interested to see how this plays out, but I suspect Mavenlink's move has more to do with a difficult economic climate and pressure to deliver financial results than with any customer-facing factors. One to watch, but I'm not sure they're onto a winner here.

    Critical analysis of a company's actions is neither routine coverage nor an advertisement.

  • Delete because it's easy to see what's available on the subject isn't what notability is about, or even what counts as significant; see this or this; since no one ever actually made any improvements after the nomination either, I'm not convinced this is actually going to show notability or that we should expect it any later, if couldn't happen now.

  • Delete promotional, and intended to be, showing multiple signs recognizable as the typical production of the typical promotional editor, from the self-serving introduction on "[the founders] sas a gap in ..." (every new business is started because the founders see a gap in whatever provision of whatever service or product they propose to do business in-- it may be intend as human interest but it is just boilerplate) to the list of multiple company social media sites at the bottom, a practice prohibited by our rules on linking, but an almost invariable part of the less competent variety of PR. An uninvolved ed. whom I respect , but who frequently tries to keep articles in this and related fields has been trying to improve it, by removing the worst of the references, but if it is finished there is not going to be enough substance left. The data on subscribers comes from a small section on the company in a "Multiple application that ..." article on a web site, and normally repeats only a PR claim. The funding information is PR-junk; it is included in promotional articles for two reasons--first, it is of some obvious importance to the owners of the company--and, except for the private investors-- nobody else; second, there are invariably announcement of this funding to be found, because it has for at least a century been the practice of financial enterprises to make sure they get published--and therefore it is the sort of trivial material that is specifically prohibited by our policies. I have myself tried to improve many poor quality articles, but I try to limit myself to those which are important enough to be worth the effort, and where there is decent material to be found. I no longer do it for run of the mill promotional articles like this, because the contributors of such material need to be discouraged, not assisted. It is in my opinion a misguided approach to try to lower the level of the encyclopedia. Promotional editing is prevalent enough from true promotional editors without the NPOV editors assisting it. There's no point discussing the details of the sourcing, because the entire effort is misguided -- the only way to help the encyclopedia increase good coverage in this area is to delete material of this sort. I'm writing this at longer length than usual in the hope is getting those editors still open to argument to think again about the effects of what they are doing.

I have tried to modify this page to show Jam Filled's true history. Jam Filled did not purchase Arc Productions, It did not change it's name to Arc Productions. Arc Productions went bankrupt and Jam Filled purchased some of the assets only. The contracts were renegotiated with the client and many ex Arc employees were hired many people back. In stead of removing this page, I suggest changing it back to Arc Productions and stating that is went bankrupt. Jam Filled is celebrating it's 10th year anniversary this year, and we do not want to be associated with the past of Arc Productions. Although we now share some history, we have our own and would like to create a page for that.

On a side note, over the past 12 years, I have worked for all the companies continuously from DKP, IDT Entertainment, Starz Media Canada, and Arc Productions. With more authority than most people (if not all), I can clearly tell you that Jam Filled is not the same company.

Not to mention if they're an accomplished lawyer or state judge (say like a state Supreme Court justice) then you can easily find additional information from their bios within law firms and/or courts.

  • Keep By longstanding precedent, articles have been created on Article III Judicial nominees at the time of their nomination. While technically these individuals may not satisfy the Wikipedia notability guidelines at the time of their nomination, we find it easier to create such articles now, rather than to wait for their confirmation. Additionally, Article III Judges who have been confirmed have a presumption of notability, per long precedent. I see no reason for deletion, which could lead to a deletion spree of other recently created articles. If this nominee ultimately fails to be confirmed, we can pursue deletion at that time. Safiel ( talk) 21:16, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I believe that an Article III nominee is inherently notable. Being nominated by the President of the United States for one of the limited number (about 3000, counting appellate courts) of Article III lifetime positions is notable, end of story. Can anyone possibly imagine that any such nominee is not subject to immediate coverage in reliable sources? Even if not confirmed, the circumstances of the confirmation failure or withdrawal gets sufficient coverage to ensure WP:GNG. I acknowledge Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges/Notability says "Nominees whose nomination has not yet come to a vote are not inherently notable," but I disagree. Looking at the edit history to that page, it seems largely the work of a small number of editors thanklessly trying to corral and codify the Wikiproject's positions, but cannot be seen as actually representing a consensus of Wikipedia editors of of that Wikiproject.

    • TJRC, I must reject your assessment of the USCJ notability guidelines. Although the number of editors participating in writing these guidelines has been small, they have been discussed at various points over the history of the project. Some of the edits I have made to those guidelines have reflected points raised by other project members. I am confident that the more active members of the project are aware of the guidelines, and would not hesitate to raise any particular objection that they have. In short, I think that it does represent a consensus on the project. That said, I would welcome any proposals for improvement. With respect to the issue at hand, it may be true that a nominee in this day and age is likely to get immediate coverage, but is this the case for all past failed nominees? I don't know. I would suggest, however, that there has to be more to this subject's biography than what is currently in the article, to explain exactly how he came to be a federal judicial nominee. bd2412 T 00:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

        • I'm not talking about the vetting process, but about the process by which this name got on the President's desk. Federal judges aren't picked out of the phone book, or really even purely on merit, and rarely even because they personally know the President who nominates them. They are nominated because they have some connection to their Senator, or someone of equivalent pull within their state. It is sometimes possible to find reporting indicating, e.g., who recommended the nominee to the President. bd2412 T 04:08, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Keep per very long standing precedent here. Judges at the USDC level almost always have had significant legal careers already. Senators, through the advise and consent process, do in fact vet Federal judicial nominees. This president almost certainly does pick his some of nominees from unorthodox sources - random persons on the Internet, the phone book, Twitter - who knows? Even if this person were not confirmed, he would meet my standards for jurists. Bearian ( talk) 13:09, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep We typically have articles for all federal judicial nominees, and I don't see why this case should be any different. It may be jumping the gun a bit to create the pages prior to confirmation, but since the vast majority of federal judicial nominees go on to be confirmed, I don't see the harm in creating articles prior to confirmation. For an idea of scope, there are currently just 31 pending federal judicial nominees, so we're not talking about very many articles. These nominees will either go on to be confirmed, in which case they are certainly notable under WP:POLITICIAN, or their nominations will fail, in which case the reason for failure/coverage surrounding the failure will almost certainly render them notable. In this particular case, I think there is enough coverage here to pass the general notability threshold, see this and this, for example.

  • Delete. I've advocated getting rid of these for years. All they do is replicate primary sourced information of little actual utility — the only people who actually need to know that Kim Rudd sits directly in front of Julie Dabrusin, or that Bob Saroya sits next to Jamie Schmale, or exactly which curtain-skirting seat in the peanut gallery Hunter Tootoo's been banished to, are employees of the House of Commons who already have access to the House's own internal charts. And the nature of Wikipedia means that the information can't be provided without violating our article design principles — actually reading a Wikipedia article should never require scrolling left to right because the page can't be constrained to a normal monitor resolution. Any other article that did that would be flagged as having a technical fuckuppery problem that needed fixed. These simply don't actually serve any substantive need; like a lot of other types of Wikipedia content that we've deprecated, they're a thing some people thought were useful at one time, but have come to look a lot less useful as our principles and best practices and content standards have evolved. Yes, others exist — they should be deleted too, because they're just not useful.

If other sources can be provided, I'd be happy to reconsider. It's completely possible that notability under Wikipedia's standards could be established on a later date, but right now, the article focuses entirely too much on primary sources or sources that do not actually discuss him as a figure but rather mention his work incidentally.

  • Delete. Nothing here constitutes an automatic pass of any subject-specific inclusion criterion (YouTubers are not granted an automatic presumption of notability just because their self-published content on YouTube provides metaverification that they exist), and the article is not referenced to enough substantive reliable source coverage about him to clear WP:GNG — the references here are almost all primary sources, and the only two that actually count as reliable sources are both local media outlets in his own hometown and the nearest larger city to it, and thus don't constitute enough coverage of him. (And anyway, they aren't verifying any substantial information about him, but are simply quoting his opinions on a list of films.) And it isn't appropriate or acceptable Wikipedia process to evade WP:SALT and/or bypass WP:AFC rejections by recreating the deleted article at an unnecessarily disambiguated alternate title and then admin-shopping to get the page moved overtop the salted title, either. The key to getting a deleted article back into Wikipedia is to properly address the reasons why it got deleted in the first place: namely by providing a stronger notability claim, and better sourcing for it, than this article is showing.

  • Keep Subject is notable under GNG due to significant coverage in reliable sources. Campaign announcement went viral, candidate was interviewed and covered on multiple major news outlets.
NPR interview, CNN interview, Mediaite coverage of Morning Joe (MSNBC) coverage, Vox, Mother Jones, Fast Company, half a dozen to a dozen stories in the Lexington Herald-Leader dating back months, etc. This constitutes widespread coverage nationally and regionally of her campaign and her viral announcement video.
Failure to meet NPOLITICIAN does not mean she is non-notable. Jbbdude ( talk) 16:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
True, it doesn't. But those sources don't establish GNG for "significant" coverage as it's all routine coverage in relation to her campaign. Those Lexington Herald-Leader stories you mention are all routine mentions as far as I can see. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 19:02, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I think what you are missing is that she is receiving extensive national and international coverage because she was the first woman to fly an F18 into combat.

  • The only reason she has and is receiving so much coverage in the media is because she was the first woman to fly an F18 in combat.

  • Keep I found articles about her going back to 2004 and 2007 which I added to her article and expanded the stub. She has been written about because of her work in the military and her induction into the aviation museum in KY. She is even more notable now that she is running and has a viral video that everyone is talking about. Notable both before and after. Definitely not ROUTINE, since she's made a military first and has had her career written about in the news and in a book (which I can't access... yet). Even her run for congress isn't what I'd call ROUTINE: not every candidate's videos go viral. Passes GNG easily. Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 21:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
It may be true that not every candidate's videos go "viral" per se, but "viral" is an unquantifiable criterion that any candidate can (and does) always assert that their campaign videos did whether the claim actually has any meat to it or not. (Not to mention that Wikipedia's single biggest problem these days is the constant creation and post-deletion re-re-re-recreation of articles about every single YouTuber who ever YouTubed, solely on the basis that virality has been claimed.) We've seen a lot of "this went viral" claims on Wikipedia for internet videos of no substantive or sustained notability, so you're just going to have to accept that I and a lot of other people quite rightly see the phrase "it went viral" as marshmallowy PR bumf that conveys "subject is a wannabe overinflating themselves for public relations purposes" rather than a genuinely substantive claim of notability in its own right. Canada has had candidates whose campaign videos went "viral" too — I'M WYATT SCOTT AND I'M RUNNING FOR PARLIAMENT! — but they didn't, and won't, get articles on that basis in and of itself.

Borderline G11 article that fails WP:N on two fronts: it does not have the sourcing under WP:CORPDEPTH to meet the general notability guideline and it is excluded from inclusion in the encyclopedia by WP:NOTSPAM. All of the available sourcing is press releases, blogs, trade magazines with low publication standards, or other sourcing not independent of the company. The article is written in a promotional tone with the clear intent of raising the profile of the organization. I almost tagged it with G11, but decided that AfD might be a better route. TonyBallioni ( talk) 14:53, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment:

The organisation is a non profit organization so there is no real promotion here, although i would be happy to accept changes to the language. I understand there is not a lot of independent media coverage but that is because it operates in a niche industry. I believe the organisation is notable for its membership size and it has also already been approved on the german version of wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Proposal_Management_Professionals Alex King-Zhang ( talk) 20:28, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Previously deleted as G11 and cleaned up a bit: article appears to be a commissioned work designed to promote a non-notable businessman. None of the awards are enough to get him past WP:ANYBIO, and there isn't enough sourcing to get him past the general guideline in WP:N.

  • Delete I agree with the poster. I cleaned up this article and looked through many of the references provided, then looked for references that back-up what was said, and there is not much out their. This seems like a self aggrandizing instead of actual notability. -- VViking Talk Edits 15:41, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep delete - I cleaned it up a bit and removed some promotional info and unsourced. The references show some notability, and the award puts it over the line, I'd say. Thus, it just barely scrapes by WP:GNG. Not enough significant coverage. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録 19:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
    • RileyBugz, which sources? Edgar Pro is just a stock ticker listing. The WSJ link is not actually an article, but a listing of a board membership that was probably taken from SEC filings (which have been removed as primary sources). The Pharmaceutical online source is a reprinted press release with a quote from him as the CEO, it wouldn't establish notability for the company, much less the BLP. The final source is just a link to the corporate website that he is no longer on. The local business journal is simply coverage of Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, which is not a prestigious award under ANYBIO: its given to 400 people a year and has over 10,000 recipients according to our article.

The WaPo article is just attributing facts to him: we don't typically consider that coverage of the subject. It certainly isn't substantial coverage as intended under WP:N. An interview with a subject on a TV program, even a large national one, is considered a primary source document. In this interview in particular, MSNBC is discussing the company, not him, which means that it is problematic for establishing notability on two fronts. Wire reports of the company's IPO would be coverage of the company, not its CEO. TonyBallioni ( talk) 14:52, 11 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Denver Randleman was one of the NCOs in E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) during World War II; neither his rank ( staff sergeant) or his highest award ( bronze star) qualify him for notability under WP:SOLDIER.

  • Note: On behalf of my colleague, Dave Salanitro, I'd like to weigh in by saying that he deserves a spot here on Wikipedia given his contributions to the craft and evolution of design and the profession at large. Please see my extended argument on the talk page of the article. I interviewed Dave Salanitro for the cover of HOW Magazine in the fall of 1997 (I was the Senior Editor there at the time). All of us at HOW were in awe of the work they were creating--absolutely dynamic, original, and cutting edge. Their original work stood out even more starkly in San Francisco, where there seems to be more design studios than coffee shops. I then went on to work as the Web Director for Chronicle Books, where I was thrilled to see the Oh Boy Artifacts line thrive.

  • Note: As Vice President and Creative Director at Mohawk Fine Papers, I was always searching for breakthrough talent to create aspirational promotions that would appeal to other designers. When I hired Dave Salanitro, of Oh Boy Design in 1998, it was because I was struck by the firm’s clear voice and singular vision. The resulting work won design awards and is on many designer bookshelves to this day. Dave’s greater contribution, I think, was in the area of product design. Oh Boy Artifacts was a pioneering example of design entrepreneurship and featured paper-based products that were smart, stylish, beautifully produced, and covetable.

I am unaware of any such courtesy (certainly the vocal among Wikipedia do not consider forthcoming existent sources as of any value regardless of strong encouragement from the guidelines) and any explanation that defines a what the vocal WP source seek beyond the, the many cited in the article and those that have come forth to write here, which and who I an only repeatedly told are unsuitable, clearly signal that a small minority of WP staff are simply unwilling to see this article pass.

And though the flattery itself may get him nowhere, perhaps it should illustrates this: David has left an indelible mark along his path to where he sits now, accomplished in his profession." Maxxheth ( talk) 02:28, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Wikipedia states that credence is given to arguments against deletion if they reflect the criteria required to qualify a page for staying published. If you read the supporting arguments here, plus all the text and resources written about Dave on his current page, all 4 of the criteria listed under "Notability for Creative Professionals" are clearly met, which warrants keeping his page active: 1) he is regarded as an important figure and is widely cited by peers; 2) he is known for originating a significant new concepts; [1] [2]; 3) he has created a well-known body of work that has been the subject of multiple articles and reviews; 4) he has won significant critical attention.

  • Regarding the continued assertion that Dave Salanitro lacks “sufficient coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate his notability,” please refer to Dave Salanitro's "Awards, Commendations, and Honors" page, which lists 245 commendations for design excellence and his inclusion in 116 national and international dailies, periodicals, and volumes. His work is also included in the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum. [4] Maxxheth ( talk) 04:51, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • I am Dave Salanitro. I had previously said I would bow out of further discussion, but I have not always been able to resist and have dropped a few remarks without signing in. I was not sure if I was allowed to speak on my behalf, or as an interested party, or as some WP:acronym, so when sparks were flying, I ducked under the inadequate cover of my IP address. I wish to clarify a few things. I understand that you will not take me at my word; that seems to be the general bent of the conversation; nevertheless, no one who has come forth to make a case for my inclusion on these pages is anyone but who they say they are. They are, of course, people who know me and learned of a determined campaign to defame me—I have not been quiet nor have others. They read this transcript and have, with no script and only their convictions defended, in their own words, my reputation, clearly at the expense of their own. Maxxheth, in particular, has taken quite a beating, even as he asked how the article might be made to comply. I cut it once; he cut it again; we got no reply. Secondly, I believe that this article has not been given due diligence, but instead got caught up in a maelstrom of accusations intent upon its deletion rather than a collaborative effort to better it and help it along. For an article criticized as being self-serving and promotional, what such entry wraps up with the subject's business failing? On the positive side, What of the citations of multiple publications in the article? At what point did the critics stop reading? Your concerns are addressed. It would be nice to be listed on these pages. And, there is certainly some advantage to it, but the gain should not require one to withstand smug retorts and sanctimonious behavior. Please don't take this as surrender. You may take down the page as is your prerogative, but I am not picking up my toys and going home. Throw your barbs my way and let the well-meaning others be.

  • Is it the financial metrics that bother you? I dawns on me that you might take them as gloating. I'm sure they can be removed. The intention I believe, and Maxxheth would have to back me up, that they are there only to illustrate the firm's rapid growth. Dssalanitro ( talk) 21:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
    • The financial metrics that have led to relying on Kickstarter now...? only ( talk) 21:09, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Thank you for your direct communication. The Kickstarter reference was removed a while ago when it became clear that it was clearly unappropriate. Currently, the last paragraph reads "Rights to Oh Boy Artifacts reverted to Salanitro in 2016. The brand is slated to relaunch late in 2017." Would it make a difference if the sentence "The brand is slated to relaunch late in 2017," were omitted? Dssalanitro ( talk) 21:18, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
        • No...that wouldn't make a difference in establishing the notability of yourself. only ( talk) 21:39, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
          • It occurs to me after rereading your first response that I took your meaning the wrong way. My intentions to do with Kickstarter or my finances are none of Wikipedia's concern. I took your remark initailly as thoughtful. I read them quickly and didn't catch how snide they were. Shame on you for your presumptions. That may have been the lowest anyone has gone yet. Now I regret that we are back on the topic of notability, which has been addressed in all manner of ways. You list hundreds of designers on Wikipedis, many with less notability than has been cited in this article, and far less than what Maxxheth refferred you to above. There are aproximately 16 citations on the main page, and another 116 publications listed by name and date online (see Maxxheth's post, if you were to take take the time to look and allow that little of what was print has been digitized, you would see that you are flat out wrong. You have far more evidence than you care to reference. Dssalanitro ( talk) 23:01, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Just to be clear, this page has spent some time sitting with its headers erroneously pointing to Philip Tomasino instead of Graeme Clarke, for reasons I have yet to identify since it wasn't the nominator's error but seems to have happened afterward. However, nominator is correct that Clarke does not have a valid notability claim per WP:NHOCKEY, because the Ontario Hockey League is not a league that confers automatic inclusion rights on every player in it, nothing in the article claims that he meets the notability standard that's required at the OHL level ("Achieved preeminent honors in a lower minor or major junior league (all-time top ten career scorer or First Team All-Star), or in an NCAA Division I collegiate hockey league (all-time top ten career scorer or First or Second Team All-American)."), and the article is written like an advertisement and sourced almost entirely to the team's own self-published primary sources about itself.

  • Delete. Just to be clear, this page has spent some time sitting with its headers erroneously pointing to Connor McMichael instead of Nathan Staios, for reasons I have yet to identify since it wasn't the nominator's error but seems to have happened afterward. However, nominator is correct that Staios does not have a valid notability claim per WP:NHOCKEY, because the Ontario Hockey League is not a league that confers automatic inclusion rights on every player in it, and nothing in the article claims that he meets the notability standard that's required at the OHL level ("Achieved preeminent honors in a lower minor or major junior league (all-time top ten career scorer or First Team All-Star), or in an NCAA Division I collegiate hockey league (all-time top ten career scorer or First or Second Team All-American)". This is not enough. Bearcat ( talk) 02:05, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply

For the record, what happened here is that on TheMagnificentist's first relist of this discussion, XFDcloser (either through a technical burp or user error of a type that's impossible to identify), erroneously replaced the correct original topic headers with the headers from another concurrent discussion — that page has already been deleted, but the intended topic here has not.

The subject does not seem to be notable. He appeared as a fitness coach in a reality TV series, but the cast members of this show do not seem to be particularly notable. The bulk of the sources are self references or press release type articles in alumni newsletters. There does not seem to be broad coverage of the subject. Winning state charter school teacher of the year is not a significant prize. There are WP:AUTO concerns, but I don't think the subject is notable enough regardless of who wrote the article. only ( talk) 17:33, 22 July 2017 (UTC) reply

I don't agree with the assertion it's not noteworthy. Too Fat for 15 is the only reality weight loss show to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy, and the subject was the star of the show. How many other reality stars from cancelled shows have articles written about them? Additionally, per the NJ Dept. of Education, 35% of all public school students attend charter schools. As a result, the award is much bigger than some give it credit for. The subject also received awards and recognition from Michele Obama's Let's Move campaign and the President's Council on Physical Fitness. E! News also named him America's Most Knowledgeable Fitness Personality while on Too Fat for 15. Those accolades make the subject noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.54.94.134 ( talk) 01:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC) — 173.54.94.134 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

Note: the IP address geolocates to the town in which John Taylor lives. Based on the WP:AUTO concerns of the writing of the article, this is important to note in considering this comment. only ( talk) 02:12, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply
And to address some of the points: just because the show was Emmy nominated (for Daytime Emmy Special Class Series) doesn't mean the "star" of the show is notable. The winning of the charter school award is not notable; we do not have articles on all 50 teachers of the year in every state's public schools let alone charter schools. (Also, I don't know where you get 35% from; the state's data says about 3.3% attend charters). The awards from the Let's Move / President's Council are not significant awards. And I am not able to find any reliable source that supports you being named "Most Knowledgeable Fitness Personality." All I find via Google are your LinkedIn/Twitter, and a press release. only ( talk) 02:45, 8 August 2017 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of a person whose only reliably sourced claim of notability is having been a non-winning candidate for federal and provincial office. As always, merely being a candidate in an election that the person didn't win is not a notability claim that passes WP:NPOL, and neither is being the first candidate of any particular ethnic background (and even then she isn't even the first in the province's history, but merely the first in the history of one particular party, which is even weaker as a notability claim). But there's no sourcing here to get her past WP:GNG for her work as a lawyer or community activist. All of which means that nothing here is a valid reason for a Wikipedia article.

Bypassing the PROD process, as I feel a fuller discussion is merited here. The subject of this article is a recently-deceased meteorologist, whose claim to notability is that he was a fellow of what appears to be the sort of "peak body" for his profession and served as an office-holder thereof. That said, there's not an awful lot beyond that statement, which suggests that GNG may not be met. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:51, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Due diligence here - According to the article Oddy has played in Britain, but in a second string league it looks like, and in an Emirates league (did not know they even had ice over there !) Aoziwe ( talk) 01:52, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Sorry, that's true. I speaking more in general to Sportsfan 1234 who has nominated tons of Aussie hockey players at AFD, a majority of which only played there. The AIHL doesn't appear on WP:NHOCKEY/LA, and the national team doesn't count either as it hasn't appeared at the top level of the Worlds since 1960. Thus, any modern Australian hockey player who's only ever played at home can't satisfy the NHOCKEY criteria (unless, of course, they have other GNG-meeting attributes) so I'd recommend they get deleted through PROD instead of clogging up AFD.

No problem. Aoziwe ( talk) 13:00, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Fails NHOCKEY, no evidence the subject meets the GNG. As to that, these Aussie hockey articles were prodded ... and were systematically deprodded by Smartyllama. I'd direct complaints about bunging up AfD to him. Ravenswing 17:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment – I haven't perused that particular source. From what I've seen, however, "blog posts" associated with Mike Mooneyham are typically reprints of journalistic pieces originally published by outlets which meet WP:RS. It begs the question of whether or not we're linking to a copyvio, but that's what you get for encouraging linkspam over solid information and sources. WP:RS is used time and again to categorically push certain websites, especially in the case of this topic area. Last I checked, I'm pretty sure we're also supposed to give weight to the author.

Neutral I was unimpressed by most of the listings mentioned, but I'm willing to change my comment to say the aforementioned article appeared in a reliable source. Appearing in a list of thousands of obituaries isn't a great source, but it's enough to move my vote to neutral. Papaursa ( talk) 02:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete I feel sad about this one because he was one of the most prominent WCW referees during the Monday Night Wars but I don't believe he passes WP:GNG. I agree with RadioKAOS that Mike Mooneyham is a reliable source (he writes regularly for the Post and Courier) but we'll need more than his one source to save this article. LM2000 ( talk) 06:18, 31 July 2017 (UTC) reply
    Keep I did find his name in the books Nikki linked to below before chiming in before. Most are passing mentions in autobiographies of wrestlers who note that he refereed certain matches, but I just found this one, which is a bit more in depth and describes him as the leading WCW referee. I'm also keeping in mind RadioKAOS' comments about availability for web sources on this subject, whose career ended many years ago. I made similar comments on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marissa McMahon but wasn't swayed to keep there because her work was far from substantial. LM2000 ( talk) 01:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - [24] He's got a bunch of mentions in wrestling books. Anyone have the time to see if they amount to "significant coverage" or just a bunch of trivial mentions? Nikki♥ 311 00:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Real life intruded, sorry for the late reply. In response to KDS4444 and expanding on LM2000's comments, it appears that NewsLibrary no longer offers URLs pointing to specific articles, but perhaps others are better versed in the ways of that site than I am. Regardless, it shows that this so-called "blog posting" is the same article that was originally published on January 26, 1997, not on "someone's blog", but in The Post and Courier, whose web masthead prominently displays the legend "Winner of the Pulitzer Prize". Evidently, that isn't stopping the Kool-Aid drinkers from drumming the "unreliable source" mantra, despite how obvious it is to anyone. The Post and Courier's web content only goes back to 2007, plus Mooneyham isn't the only credentialed journalist who uses Wordpress to republish journalistic pieces. WP:V is considered a core policy which mentions the need to consider the credibility of the writer as a factor in identifying something as a reliable source. Also see recent discussion at WT:RSN which cautions against categorically declaring items reliable or unreliable without considering the actual source. In other words, it isn't a black-and-white matter of which website you found the thing at, a rather pernicious POV that's creeped into a lot of AFDs lately. As for multiple sources, we're talking about someone whose career ended before Wikipedia began and who died before WP:PW began. Therefore, extraordinary measures should have been taken, just like any other topic which isn't going to be mentioned on the web today within the past X number of years. Our coverage of pro wrestling topics suffers in that specific regard. If you doubt me, take a look at how many American wrestlers have articles on ja.wiki but don't have articles here. A great many of them were among the biggest wrestling stars in the United States at one point during their careers, but since we're talking about stars of the 1960s and 1970s, the cherry-picked "reliable" websites are going to give them short shrift compared to all the pissing and moaning about Roman Reigns or JBL and whatever controversies they're known for over the past year or two.

  • Keep - As RadioKAOS notes, the article suffers from focusing on a subject who died before the internet boom, but he was prominent in storylines at the height of WCW's popularity (which was part of a "boom period" in wrestling). I added some references for some of the Randy Anderson-nWo feud, which further helps establish notability. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 22:50, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Yes, the Xconomy article provides the kind of in-depth coverage that contributes to establishing notability. But it's only a single source - WP:GNG requires multiple sources, generally three independent sources are considered sufficient. Also, Xconomy seems to have a (multi-)regional focus, so an article there is not as strong indication of notability as national coverage would be. The Bloomberg profile is still a directory listing, so it should be given minimal weight when considering notability (per WP:CORPDEPTH), especially noting the big blue button "Request Profile Update" at the bottom of the page. Yes, Bloomberg exercises some kind of editorial control over these (so it could be used to verify information), but I'm against such sources contributing anything to notability. It's also telling that the only (as far as I know) substantial coverage is from 2009. LaunchCapital should perhaps be applauded for not buying coverage like many competitors do - you can have the Forbes + Huffington + Techcrunch combo for a fraction of a seed round.
Trivial mentions are OK to use as citations, but are excluded as sources of notability (again, WP:CORPDEPTH). Rentier ( talk) 22:24, 5 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Hmmm ... except the article still fails because it relies on company material and/or sources for facts and information, not to mention that the source is not independent since it goes on to disclose that LaunchCapital invested in xconomy's latest round of financing. -- HighKing ++ 20:39, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD. Small institute with a dozen professors. There is a bit of coverage here and there, but it's all either routine, passing mention, or local.

  • Delete Redirect - I did a little bit of research to look for newspaper mentions regarding this institute and I was able to come up with some information which may be useful for this discussion:
  1. I found two mentions in The Times of India - [25] (2010, doesn't appear to be of much importance) and [26] (2016, starts off with mention of the institute but wanders off talking about an 'expo' towards the end of the article). As for any other newspaper mentions, I failed to find them (even amongst non-English ones).
  2. The institute is recognized by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (an agency established by the Ministry of Human Resources Development of India) along with 97 other institutes (the list is here), many of which are notable and have Wikipedia articles of their own (digging a little deeper, I found that most of the 97 institutes have Wikipedia articles of their own, although some of them facing similar issues as this one, for example: Indian Institute of Information Technology, Ranchi and Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University but that can be resolved in their own deletion discussions).

  • Keep this technology college does exist. Here is Times of India (regional edition) coverage of a carpet industry trade fair hyping a campus expansion [27]. An article in The Hindu: "As unusual as it sounds, this institute has been set up by the Indian Ministry of Textiles. The Indian Institute of Carpet Technology (IICT) aims at supporting the carpet and allied textile industries by increasing skilled labourers and technical support. The syllabus of the programmes covers both practical as well as theoretical understanding of the process of dyeing, textile fibres, carpet washing, and so on. It also has a range of regular, distance and short-term courses." [28].

  • Comments - To L3X1, I see 67 in total, which includes any mention whatsoever including citations, and as far as I can tell, exactly none that aren't simply mention of the name. WP:NORG and WP:GNG aren't WP:NPROF, and notability is not inherited, and certainly not from passing mention by others who are themselves apparently non-notable.
To E.M.Gregory: I don't think anyone is questioning whether it exists, but no company or organization is considered inherently notable, and no organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools.

  • It is, I think, a good argument for tagging this brand new article for improvement, and giving it time to improve. E.M.Gregory ( talk)
The question remains, is there enough information that can be used for improving the article without making it sound like the information has been picked directly from a primary source (ie, the institute's website)? Currently, the information in the article seems trivial and promotional. Apart from basic information on course-work and its affiliation with JoSAA and Ministry of Textiles, I do not see what else could be included here. If only a few lines of information is worth keeping, then it might be worth redirecting the page to Bhadohi, specifically the section titled "Bhadohi carpets" (or a separate section titled "Education"), and have two to three lines on the institute there.

  • Comment - I've changed my vote to "Redirect" since the institute itself is notable (being recognized by multiple national level bodies in India) but doesn't have enough sources to justify having its own article. The redirect can be supported with a short description of the institute in the article Bhadohi under the section "Bhadohi carpets" or a new section titled "Education". An example of the short description could be:
Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, a one-of-its-kind college in Asia, was established by Ministry of Textiles, Government of India in 2001. It has been recognized by All India Council for Technical Education and is affiliated with Joint Seat Allocation Authority.
The institute offers a Bachelor of Technology in Carpet and Textile Technology (CTT). The syllabus of the programmes covers both practical as well as theoretical understanding of the process of dyeing, textile fibres, carpet washing, and other industrial techniques.
The last statement can be supported by a ref to The Hindu article, as mentioned by E.M.Gregory. Jiten Dhandha • talk • contributions • 09:47, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete or redirect. Per nom, no indication subject meets WP:GNG or WP:BROADCAST. As noted, and given the use of the past-tense for a speculated future event, this (at best) seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON, and (at worst) a case of WP:CRYSTALBALL speculation on something that may happen. (And, even if it does happen, may not meet notability for a standalone article. Under WP:PRODUCT). Personally I think this could be changed to a speedy (under WP:A3 or WP:A7). Otherwise, if we think there is actually a regional station expected of this name, just redirect it to the parent article.

Originally BLPPROD, sources were added but not really enough for a BLP article to stand. Clean up was done(by someone else) to remove unverified things, which was nearly the entire page. Claim to notability is being a retired judge of "Supreme Arbitration court of the Constituent Western Armenia". I originally thought this was a sub-national position in Armenia, but after further research it seems to be a position in the unrecognized state of Western Armenia. That was sourced back to the about us page of the reference that says he was a supreme court judge. [29]. The other source indicates he was a district court judge in Armenia, which isn't a international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office that WP:POLITICIAN needs in order to pass.

BLPPROD was incorrectly removed as all of the sources in the article are unreliable sources connected to the subject or from other unreliable sources such as blogs. The case against inclusion is strong from a notability standpoint as well: the only source to be found about him on Google other than YouTube is Wikipedia because the bot indexed this after the BLPPROD was removed. Additionally, the content is promotional in tone, and appears to have been written by an SPA with the intent of promoting the subject, making it excluded by WP:NOTSPAM and failing the second prong of WP:N.

  • Let's run down your sources:

2. Fleeting, non-notable mention
3. A map?
4. List of schools that doesn't mention Glenealy
5. Fleeting routine biography,which has a profile on every school in the organization
6. Fleeting routine biography
7. Autobiographical
None of your added sources "indicate notability." WP:GNG states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention," and that "'Sources' should be secondary sources," and "Independent of the subject." alphalfalfa( talk) 04:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Added several additional sources, including some from national newspapers (South china morning post). Clearly meets notability guidelines, especially compared to other articles. I would also like to point out that none of the sources are mine, so therefore I am not sure what te list is talking about.

Keep - Key part of Hong Kong history in regard to those who attended as well as school itself, which is linked strongly with Hong Kong Park (one of the major parks in the SAR).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyungjoo98 ( talk • contribs)

Already 25 sources (most secondary, 2 articles from SCMP), and just added another one from LCSD website. STSC, how many more do you think is required to establish notability??? Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 09:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Merge to English Schools Foundation. It's a primary school that fails WP:AUD with only local coverage and directory-type listings. The author could try an alternative outlet, such as localwiki:, with different inclusion criteria and where content of local interest might be more suitable. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 16:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC). Incorrect on local coverage. South China Morning Post is a national level newspaper (similar to the NY Times or Straits times, but obviously more focused on Hong Kong related items). Wikipedia is a international encyclopedia, while this article may have no notability in the USA (where understandably most editors are from) this does not mean it has "only local" notability Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 04:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Another comment - only English language references are included at the moment. Chinese language ones are much more numerous (due to HK being majority Chinese speaking). In addition, the suggestion to move to a local wiki is misguided, as Hong Kong is too large to be considered just "local interest". Passes WP:SIGCOV even with just English language sources. Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 04:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง, You are absolutely correct that a plethora of sources does not indicate notability, and that "because lots of Hong Kong people went to it" is not argument (in fact, it can't be an argument, considering the small size of the school). However, this are not the issues that are discussed here. The issue is whether the sources indicate notability. I have stated earlier that there are national-level sources (South China Morning Post, Brand HK (HK Government newssite)), which mention Glenealy School, indicating its notability. In addition, these sources are not of simply local importance, making a move to a local Wiki inappropriate.

In regards to merging to page to the main ESF page, this would create an extremely large and cluttered page, as the ESF is a large organisation which oversees the operation of a very large number of schools. Hyungjoo98 ( talk) 14:15, 12 August 2017 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. The major argument in favor of keeping is that WP:NACADEMIC assumes that full professors are notable. Several people disagree with this.

My own reading of WP:NACADEMIC leads me to believe that this argument is a mis-reading of the Specific criteria notes for criteria 5, which says, The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or Distinguished Professor [...] can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level. That doesn't mean that full professors are notable. It means that named chair appointees must also be full professors. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:50, 13 August 2017 (UTC) reply

That is one opinion, ten years old. Since then GS has expanded in scope and, if citations exist, GS will usually find them. GS will certainly find citations to humanities subjects. However, citations in humanities, particularly by older scholars, tend to be fewer than in the sciences. The difference of citation patterns between fields is well-known to anybody who frequents academic pages, and allowance is (or should) be made. One compares like with like; theology with theology- computer science with computer science. If notability is to be proved, sources have to be found and in this case they have not been yet.

  • Delete. The article makes no case for notability by scholarly impact (not just publication) or in any other way.

  • Keep -- You cannot expect to find a lot of English language sources on a Georgian subject. An academic with 103 articles and 2 monographs has a large body of work, but you cannot expect English language citation indices to record this. Transliteration is not an exact science and even a minor difference in that is liable to upset the count from any citation index. If Georgian WP thinks her notable, I do not think we English one should dissent. Translation notices are only appropriate where the English needs improving. Peterkingiron ( talk) 14:52, 16 July 2017 (UTC) reply

[37] here we only have a reference to something she's written, not the article itself by Rozeta Gujejiani, same [38] here as well, and [39] here - not even that. So GS count remains at 0. I can find nothing in Georgian as well. The person is not notable even by Georgian standards of academia as far as I understand them. Scrabble Scribble ( talk) 13:14, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. If other editors think there's likely to be enough coverage in Georgian sources to keep this article then I'd consider that a good outcome, but I'm not sure where this idea that WP:PROF presumes full professors are notable is coming from. What it actually says is that a named chair or distinguished professor at a major institution can be presumed to be notable ( WP:PROF#C5). This is a significantly higher bar than just being a full professor (a term which, by the way, only makes sense in a North American context). Besides, her English faculty page says Gujejiani is an associate professor [40]. –  Joe ( talk) 21:48, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply

(not a !vote) Not really a disambig page. It is an euphemism used by some to describe some battles, not really mane them. Similarly, Idiot (disambiguation) does not list Donald Trump, although not an uncommon reference.

Comment we do have List of scandals with "-gate" suffix, so we could convert the dab to a list, but the inclusion criteria based on a quote seems not solid. Of note is that the -gate topic is also covered in Snowclone#"-Gate" and similar suffixes. Widefox; talk 16:49, 27 July 2017 (UTC) reply
  • 'Keep or redirect to Snowclone#The Mother of All X I guess, or some other outcome which is helpful to the reader. I mean it seems to me like this: The user types in the string "mother of all battles". Presumably the reader wants some information. So how should we handle this request for information? Well...
  • We can take her to this page, where she can then maybe drill down further to get to where she maybe wants to go.
  • Or we could take her somewhere else. Gulf War, maybe (perhaps that is the primary topic for the string) or perhaps to Snowclone#The Mother of All X if that seems better (although the person did include "battles" specifically) or some other place that is helpful to the reader.
  • Or we could delete this page as suggested, and leave her in the dark. Perhaps we could replace the page with a notice "Yes, we have this info, but we don't feel like taking you to it, so you're shit out of luck. But good luck with your Google search!". We could do that.

Keep - Colapeninsula The article is mainly based on report developed by an independent international think tank and portrays the findings of the report based on the investigation carried out and comprehensively described not only within the report itself, but also in articles in numerous foreign media. The aim - as it goes with each article in Wikipedia and the general mission of any encyclopedia, is to bring more clarity to the term cognac diplomacy which is being frequently used in connection to Armenia’s informal diplomacy, which was also acknowledged by Armenians themselves. Respective article is provided. Vugar Z ( talk) 09:57, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep: First of all concerns expressed in the comments did not exist before the user Divot made the edits. He changed the article entirely and provided biased view and only after this proposed it for deleting. The original version of the article reflected numerous links of news coverage 

regarding the topic moreover the article didn’t only base on ESISC report.  There is not any view of author in the article  and every paragraph is
noted with source and was written in neutral language. Therefore I’m undoing all changes made by Devot.  Every editor is more than welcome to contribute to the article based on Wikipedia rules but not vandalizing the page as Divot did. @Divot  — Preceding

"The term is mentioned periodically in the bribery case of Venice Commission by the Armenians and Nazarbayev's former Press Secretary Ajdosa Sarymova." [41] - can you find any word about Venice Commission or Ajdosa Sarymova in this link [42]? Please cite it. Divot ( talk) 19:30, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply
This confusion derives from the wording which maybe needs more clarification but it’s cited information. This thought is based on allegations of bribing of Venice Commission by Armenian officials. It was stated by Armenian MP Levon Zurabyan where he promised to submit facts and was widely covered in Armenian media also with reaction of government which initiated investigations on the case. Respective links to media articles are added.

"This confusion derives from the wording" - your wording, Coneyislandqueentobe, your misinformative wording
"allegations of bribing of Venice Commission by Armenian officials" - just one MP (not Armenian official) promised to submit facts, without used term "Cognac diplomacy", by the way. And what? Did he submit that facts? Any document? Any court's decision? Nothing. Absolute zero. Don't put fake links and incorrect information in the article. Divot ( talk) 16:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep This article is developed in line to Wikipedia rules with respect to neutrality. ESISC is an international think tank established in Brussels. There are articles on media in Ukraine, Georgia and Armenia. These links existed in the text before edited by Divot. Divot’s thoughts are contradictory as he names the organization to be Baku lobbyist at the same time he amends the article so that it reflects pro-Armenian position as criticizing Azerbaijan. Another contradiction is that why there are numerous vandalism attempts and changes made to the article if the purpose is to have the article deleted. Kingedik ( talk) 13:12, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Let's rename article to "ESISC", if it is an international think tank established in Brussels, no problem. Just like in Russian [43] and French [44] Wikipedia.
But where does "cognac diplomacy" come from? Not a single major media has written about this report. Of course, they do not comment on stupid conspiracy theories. Divot ( talk) 11:17, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply


Keep: please note that the term of cognac diplomacy was existing before the report and below is several articles on media in Moldova and Armenia itself where this term is noted.

"Ashot Martirosyan's intervie" - it's a fake. Ashot Martirosyan said about cultural diplomacy, not abut lobbing. Divot ( talk) 19:26, 29 July 2017 (UTC) reply
It is not fake. Martirosyan calls it the national diplomacy but not the cultural one and admits that Armenians have solved at least one problem with a bottle of cognac so far. Sona Sh ( talk) 08:54, 31 July 2017 (UTC) reply
The correct mean is "Armenian cognac is a national endow, I would even call it national diplomacy. It's no secret that every Armenian for once in his live have solved a problem with a bottle of Armenian cognac". It's just a joke, irony, about Armenians (really every Armenian have solved a problem with a bottle of Armenian cognac? Including babyes?), not about lobbying or diplomacy . So, it's fake link, like all other Coneyislandqueentobe's links. If you have problems understanding Russian text and irony, I can advise a good interpreter.

Keep: I hold the view that, the page should be assessed in its original version, before the edits were made by those who proposed the page for deletion. Simply by referring to Wikipedia rules, one can reaffirm that the page is not eligible for any of the reasons for deletion: Article does not violate any copyright, does not amount to vandalism, is not placed for advertising based on irrelevant encyclopedic content, provides a number of reliable sources. Very importantly, the article meets the requirements of notability guidelines. A quick reminder that, according to these guidelines, “Article content does not determine notability. Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article”. And I’m quoting the guidelines again:“If the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability”.Evidence of notability of this article comprises recognized publications, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources. Last but not least, I would like to remind that, prior to nominating a page for deletion alternatives to deletion - like improving the page should be considered. Wikipedia can be made a better resource of knowledge if users contribute by improving the articles, rather than trying to delete everything that contradicts their views or opinions.

Here is excerpt from its page "Europe's think tank for South East Europe and enlargement - films and reports on the Balkans, Turkey, Central Europe and the South Caucasus." This report had been cited/referred as a source in Wikipedia articles, acted as base for creation of caviar diplomacy page in Wikipedia. The same is with ESISC thinktank, here is excerpt from official webpage "-ESISC acts as a think tank; numerous members of the team engage regularly with the media, participate in university research, and publish reference works and scientific articles" so the status of both organizations is the same and the same approach should be applied while deciding a text derived from their activities and reports.

Once more, no one major media.
But about ESISC report we have commentaries "The report is written in the worst traditions of authoritarian propaganda, makes absurd claims, and is clearly aimed at deflecting the wave of criticism against cover-up of unethical lobbying and corruption in PACE and demands for change in the Assembly" and ""ESISC report is full of lies"
After European Stability Initiative report we have "Europe's top human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe, has launched an investigation into alleged corruption at the council involving Azerbaijan" [50]

  • Comment One of the pitfalls of deleting this article is that Kyle Kulinski is a fairly strong critic of both the mainstream media and mainstream US politics, and he is also involved in setting up the Justice Democrats political action committee intended to primary candidates against corporate-funded Democrats, so there is a risk of creating the perception that he is being deliberately "silenced" by the "establishment". To remedy this, I recreated the article as a redirect to The Young Turks#TYT Network, where he is listed. A perhaps better alternative would be to redirect to Justice Democrats, where he is more prominently mentioned. - Spacemartin ( talk) 13:22, 28 July 2017 (UTC) reply
I guess another pitfall (without sounding biased towards him) is that media coverage generally avoids YouTube outlets in favor of more "establishment" ones on television, or at least long-established independent commentators like Cenk Uygur (though he did spend time at MSNBC and had a show on Sirius XM).

The TR-3 Black Manta is a supposed "black project" aircraft for the U.S. Military. There is little evidence to substantiate the claims in the article and most of the references that do exist are highly speculative. As a result, much of the content of the article is either original research or synthesis. Noha307 ( talk) 20:25, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Merge with Black triangle (UFO): the article does not pretend the craft is real and that the claims can be substantiated, only that it is widely discussed and the claims are verifiable as having been made. Other craft in this position include the Aurora project. Nevertheless, I agree that there is not enough valid content here to sustain a standalone article. I'd suggest creating a section at Black triangle (UFO), listing types (real or imagined) that such triangle sightings have been identified with. Another example (which a quick google will verify) is the BAE Systems Taranis drone. — Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 07:52, 21 July 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - As far as I can tell, none of the current sources are significant mentions of the game, just off-hand remarks that the game existed. The AMA transcript is dubiously reliable. There are a couple of reviews on Mobygames in German from 1993, but only two significant mentions still doesn't meet notability standards. I oppose a merge in the case of deletion as "Dare to Dream" is a somewhat common phrase even if it doesn't have an article. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Thank you, it looks like the book was a one-off (2005) based on her personal experiences. I suspect the article was created by interested persons as her husband's article Guy Walters has had quite a lot of COI editing. Philafrenzy ( talk) 13:41, 20 July 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep There is an in-depth source here, plus a source where Venning is both the writer and partially the subject, and a similar story in the Daily Mail here, and another one here, and a similar writer-subject story in The Telegraph, and another one here. So, here's a question: are these stories in which Venning is both the author and the subject, in media such as the Daily Mail and The Telegraph, are these primary or secondary sources? So, I'm a bit on the fence here, but the article is not excessive, but (if it stays) there should be more information on Venning's pop-culture focus.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 00:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC) reply

Does not appear to be a notable band; only one release of theirs seemed to have charted, and even then, only in Melbourne. I also could not find enough significant coverage about this band; even the only YouTube video I could find admitted that the band "was not very commercially successful". Given the band's age, it's possible that some coverage might exist offline, and indeed, the same YouTube video hints that the band might have been somewhat influential in the Melbourne music scene of the 1970s.

The result was Rename. I'll move this to Background singer, over the existing redirect. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:06, 12 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Just a note here for clarity: through this entire discussion, all of the participants (including myself, mea culpa) completely missed the fact that even though background singer was a redirect to singer, a standalone article actually did exist about background singers at the title backing vocalist instead. Accordingly, the titles have now both been redirected to the existing article instead. Bearcat ( talk) 19:22, 22 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Article which serves mainly as a list of people who did background vocals on songs without being officially listed as contributors. Many of the individual examples are referenced, albeit much more frequently to unreliable sources like fansites than to reliable source coverage in media, but what's lacking is sourcing to demonstrate that the concept of uncredited background singers is notable enough in its own right to warrant a separate article from the general concept of background singers. Yes, this happens, but there are no sources comprehensively analyzing its notability as a concept -- all this does is WP:SYNTH a bunch of discrete and otherwise unconnected examples, and thus it constitutes an act of original research to call this a notable thing.
