A promotional page for a subject that does not meet WP:NFILM. No encyclopedically relevant content as to film's importance or impact on the popular culture. "Eights Best Film" is not a significant award.
The article survived a prior AfD in 2010 (with a no-consensus close), but is not better for it, as it still reads like a directory listing. I believe that six years on it's an appropriate time to revisit.

Delete. The claimed "eighth place" award is not a major award for some aspect of excellence in filmmaking, as required by NFILM, and there is no evidence this particular film meets GNG requirements. As I wrote in the initial AFD, "no coverage shown in reliable independent sources. The
Pink Grand Prix is a readers' poll conducted by "PG" (perhaps "P*G") magazine, a publication of no established notability. According to this news article
[1], cited as a reliable source in the article on the award itself, "PG" is a "fanzine," or fan magazine. Reader polls, whether for print or online publications, generally aren't seen as establishing notability unless the publication is clearly notable (if then), and when they are, only the first place finisher is generally seen as having its own notability established by the poll. The film's article is sourced only to a comprehensive listing of produced films, which establishes only existence but not notability, and to the fanzine's own website, which lacks the independence required to establish notability".

I was actually trying to redirect the original article Robert Kelly (BBC interviewee) to the appropriate Robert Kelly (political analyst) and keep the Article for Deletion tag, not create the tag. I object the deletion because the event is being heavily cited as case study in racism, and as the third article by the above comment mentioned (and should have a merge tag), he's widely cited expert on Korea. — Preceding

Delete an article lacking reliable sources. There are those who have in the past lamaneted that Wikipedia has more articles on pornographic film actresses than women poets. That is not true in the American categories, with 1669 articles on women poets and 408 on pornographic film actresses. However in the Japanese case we have 71 articles on women poets and 148 on pornographic film actresses. I think the Am porn actresses cat used to be well over 600, but through application of notability standards has seen unnotable articles removed. I have to admit even there I am not at all convinced all 408 are notable.
John Pack Lambert (

I cannot for the life of me understand why a mass media field will have more participants and interest more people. The solution is to create and source, not delete. I understand some people dislike what pornography is about due to various reasons (religion or other) but just like there are notable career criminals and murderers alas there are also notable adult workers.
wp:otherstuffexists in the opposite direction does not make that go away.
GuzzyG (

Sourcing needs the availability of sources that are
WP:RELIABLE. Reputable media tend to shun porn while the Internet is flooded with porn-related promotional material. The editors here don't dislike porn. Many of these editors maintain the porn articles while trying to clear out material based on crap sources. Just being a "famous" or "popular" porn star doesn't establish notability for Wikipedia purposes.

I just think it's a laughable system that editors who do not speak Japanese nominate a whole bunch of Japanese articles and say no american sources are found while searching a romanized name which the subject would never use as it is not their language, sounds fair, right? Also using significant American porn awards as a justification for notability for someone who participates in Japanese pornography.

That cuts both ways. If you are going to put badly sourced shit on the English wikipedia bevause you don't speak Japanese to find out if real sources probably exist than maybe don't.

secondary sources in the article (and none found in a

WP:BLP of an academic. This was actually created on
WP:NPOL grounds rather than
WP:NACADEMICS, as he was named last year to the
Senate of Canada -- however, he subsequently declined the appointment for personal reasons, and has never actually been nor will he ever be sworn in as a senator at all. So the NPOL passage is gone, and his notability would now have to be stacked onto his work as a psychiatry professor to remain includable -- but the only source provided for that is his
primary source profile on the website of his own employer, which isn't what it would take to be deemed notable on that basis. And I can't find anything on a
ProQuest search that would bolster the notability of the academic position; all I get is hits where he's either glancingly namechecked in coverage of other things, or the author of the piece rather than its subject. So it was a good faith creation at the time, but circumstances have changed and it doesn't meet any inclusion standards anymore.

Johnpacklambert Dude, I improve Wikipedia by adding significant content all the time, so I take issue with this characterization and call out. If you did as many article rescues and improvements as I do then you have to be judicious as to the amount of work done and where. If I could do this full time as a paid editor I would, and would do a more deep scrub of pages like this. I'm definitely over-reacting here but this type of criticism is something I've never seen. My goals here were to (a) remove the concern about notability and this AfD by establishing notability more fully and close this AfD and (b) bring it to a stub status, both of which efforts I believe were successful. As feedback I think it might be helpful to examine why you wrote this, and how constructive it is. But maybe you are just trolling here and trying to get a negative response? I'm not sure. But I want you to know I don't appreciate having my efforts -- and the outrageous question if I had done enough work -- brought up like this. -- Erika aka

I have to say if there is one major issue that is off about the discussion above it is that people attack me for my statements with regards to the discussion, but do not question the actions of the nominator at all. Assuming my goodlge search done now is similar to the one done at first, I can see the "essentially nothing" argument. What leads the google search are Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery and Cameron Trading Post listings. I have been to the Cameron Trading Post and while they sell fine art pottery, I doubt all their works are from notable potters. Google leading with commercial, for sale sites does not mean that there are not reliable source coverages though.

Hi. I'm disagree. You have to check on publishment in paper. If we are going to follow the Wikipedias policy, its standing that sources is one of the most important tools to prove. I hope you as an administrator has read this link:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines
He has been mention in web and newspaper (on paper/web). One of the article in Wikipedias policy said that the person can have external links publish, since this person is an official person. He has own website, are on television, In France, Norway and Russia. The external links has to prove you.
You write: "No matter how he spells his name, the subject still isn't notable." - How can you know when people from other countries knows him? And also sounds that you do not care about the sources or the person. How can you say that he is not a notable? The article is a notable, because the Wikipedias policy says this: "Wikipedia policies and guidelines are developed by the community to describe best practices, clarify principles, resolve conflicts, and otherwise further our goal of creating a free, reliable encyclopedia". This is about a reliable person, not a fiction.
Surce:
http://danielniazi.com/biography/ (notable (according the policy of Wikipedia)
Publishment (date, number / Magazines/newspapers)
The Bradcasting of Norway, NRK has sent LIVE with him some times (and have programs with him).
It also standing: "This policy page specifies the community standards related to the organization, life cycle, maintenance of, and adherence to policies, guidelines, and related pages.". If you aree administrator of Wikipedia, you have also a responsibility to prove that he is not reliable person.
I will recommended you to read Wikipedias policy and guidelines. It will help you as a good administrator.

That's correct. Wikipedia remove the links from media about this person earlier. And I was really surprise about it when Wikipedia remove about this person who are mentioned in norwegian media on web. His earlier name is "Daniel Niazi" Wikipedia just remove and do not see Daniel as an reliable person.
The link to the article he has written, is a prove that he has written about the reliable persons, Cecilie Svendsen and Scott Fivelson. The Wikipedia is not interested to have am article about reliable person and that is violations to the Wikipedias policy. I have follow Wikipedias policy and guiddelines, and the administrator is not interested in these sources.
Here is the links | sources remove (and continue ask for sources):
There is magazine cases about Daniel DeNiazi in paper. I have also send in to the administrators of Wikipedia, and they are not interested. When I follow Wikipedias guidelines and policy, I hope Wikipedia see that the sources is about a reliable person. I can also send you a screenshot from the magazines. There is a lot of them - And in the earlier in Forbes - in the magazine about the project in USA. New Daily newspaper that are going to be etablished in U.S and Ukraine. Hertz Gazeta.

The HNYTT and second NRK articles are usable, but they are not substantial or sufficient. The others are not usable for notability. The usable sources say that he's started a community newspaper for the town
Sveio, right? The editor of a small-town magazine/website with a circulation in the 4,000-6,000 range is not likely to be notable without substantial sources. They support that he exists and started a community project, but do not establish
WP:NBIO or
WP:GNG. These source are not deep enough. They are minor, local, and primarily about Sveiobladet as a project, not DeNiazi as a person. I have no idea why you're bringing up other people. Why would that matter?

Sveiobladet is just the name of the newspaper. The newspaper is branched on Haugaland, Stord, Sveio, Haugesund, Karmøy, Tysvaer and Fitjar. Article about Daniel DeNIazi, is about him and the sources about what he i known for. And the reasons I bring the article up to other people, is that he is known for the articles about them. I have also mention these people, because Wikipedia do not believe that Daniel is an reliable person. Wikkipedia do not follow their owns policy and guidelines.
I do not understand why Daniel DeNiazi is not an interested person on Wikipedia when he has his name on TV, in newspapers, magazines for his etablishment. He is an journalist and have work as a journalist in 8 years. He has worked in NRK, Sunnhordland (newspaper), Vestavind (Newspaper).
Why do you references to website in te circulation in the 4.000-6.000. ANd talk about the he is the editor in a small newspaper, when Sveiobladet is a daily newspaper?? NRK and Hnytt are not usable. They are sourcess that follow the Wikipedias policy and guidelines.
With all respect! When I have prove the Wikipedia that he is reliable person. How can I prove Wikipedia? I follow your policy and guidelines. You can search on Cato Manuel Ekrene. You will not find so many articles about him. Daniel DeNiazi has a results (if you search Daniel Niazi) that is more than Cato Manuel Ekrene and is more mentioned in magazine then Cato and Scott together.
So Wikipedia do looking for results on Google? As a researcher and Wikipedia-author, I understand that Wikipedia is more about the person not the facts! --

I'm not trying to be rude, but I really do not understand a lot of what you are saying. For this article to be saved, we need reliable sources of substance which are about him as a person. Those sources must be independent of him. His website is not independent. Facebook is not independent. An interview with him is not independent. An interview with him in the newspaper he edits is definitely not independent. Also, those sources must explain why he is notable. Having worked as a journalist for eight years (since he was 17 or 18, I guess?) doesn't matter. Many people work in jobs for a long time, but that doesn't make them notable. You say he is "known for" articles about other people... who knows him for that? Are there sources about these articles? Great! Where are they? If not, it doesn't matter, because he's just doing a job. Are you suggesting he's more notable than Ekrene? Perhaps
Cato Manuel Ekrene should be improved or deleted also, but this
isn't the place to discuss that.

Why he change his name - I do not know, but he has been in magazine with the name Daniel DeNiazi. Earlier he use Daniel Niazi. My fault that i do not come with this information earlier.

Please look more carefully at
WP:JOURNALIST. We're not looking for examples of his work, we are looking for coverage of his work. Not all reliable sources are useful for establishing notability. DeNiazi's articles may be reliable for other articles, but that doesn't make him notable as a journalist. Let me say that again another way: A source can be reliable, but still not establish notability, because notability guidelines require secondary coverage of substance.
I followed some of those press links at his own website. One was a
dead link,
Someof the
others didn't appear to mention him at all (is he... in one of the photos? Not a good sign), and a third was a
profile of him as a blogger. That profile is usable, but definitely on the weak side, especially since the article currently mentions nothing about his blogging activities. I'm underwhelmed. Wikipedia sources do not have to be online, but they do still have to meet other requirements. A list of articles which may or may not mention him is useless for this.

Delete. The article identifies Evans as a "singer, songwriter and YouTube personality". I have followed Evans and his ex-wife,
Colleen Ballinger, closely since 2009 because of my interest in her career. I believe that Evans's entertainment career is based almost entirely on his association with his ex-wife, with whom he toured briefly. He has performed on a cruise ship and with a non-notable "boy group", but he has never recorded or released any music. He is *not* a songwriter; he does not write, and has not written, songs. As a "YouTube personality", Social Blade ranks him
18,969th among YouTubers and 2,128th by number of subscriptions. Like thousands of other people, he has monetized his YouTube vlogs, but I do not believe that it makes him notable. --

Not a particularly notable model. The article was originally created as an autobiography, which I deleted per

Speedied per

Delete. I can't find anything on Yahoo or Bing that comes any closer to demonstrating
WP:GNG than what can be found with Google, and the suggestion of purposeful "suppression" of this little enterprise by Google is not worthy of consideration. The amount of time or effort put into a project, and the nobility of its aims, are irrelevant to whether it merits an encyclopedia article – the only thing that matters is external recognition through significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. That has not been demonstrated here, and it appears unlikely that it can be demonstrated. —

Not attempting to deceive anyone or cause any harm - just trying place an article on wikipedia. I understand the notability guidelines and am working very hard to build the external links which offer substantive evidence of our effort and work in this world of streaming. I offer "allow some time for editing as deletion should be a last resort when subject material is being developed and introduced to provide valid content. I also understand reviewers have tools and use regular processes everyday to keep Wikipedia as clean and factual as possible. In the history of streaming, there were many players and incremental gains made, very few from the 90s exist today, and their struggle is worth discovering. As barbwires ties new agreements with EU labels and promotional groups, as it has in the past year, it will demonstrate new growth, we are documenting that growth dynamically.

The subject is the biological father of a notable footballer
Dele Alli, but I don't think that gives the subject here any notability. According to the article about the son, the subject "moved to the United States a week after Dele's birth" and may have taken no part in his upbringing. I can see no notability shown here for this subject apart possibly from the
WP:BLP1E fact of his being Dele's father. Some of the details of Dele's upbringing given in his article are at variance with some of the things I've seen on Google that claim he was raised in Lagos, and others that claim that the subject here was involved with the upbringing. All in all, it looks like there is information and there is misinformation to be found. Here, we are looking primarily at the subject's notability, and the future of this mildly promotional article.

Delete. Being chair of a youth organization is not an automatic notability freebie just because he exists. It would be enough if he could be
reliably sourced to enough media coverage to get him over
WP:GNG, but three of the four sources here are
primary sources (the organization's own webpage, the webpage of the university where he's a student, the webpage of a second university that had a delegate at the conference). There's only one source here that's even a maybe on the "does this source count toward demonstrating encyclopedic notability?" test — but even if we give Free Malaysia Today the benefit of the doubt, one RS is not enough RS to clear GNG. And while it's not quite a foregone conclusion that the article was actually an outright
WP:AUTOBIO, the creator's username "Rcsyouthmalaysia" is certainly indicative of some form of
conflict of interest (i.e. it could have been a friend or colleague of his.)

Keep - Meets NHOCKEY and has received some coverage, for example

@
JaconaFrere:Per Elite Prospects, he was an ECHL First Team in 2004–05 which meets NHOCKEY #4 (the bare minimum as I said). This usually means there are articles about him but does not mean that he automatically passes GNG. The ESPN and Canoe articles from Rlendog though might be secondary enough to not be considered routine.
Yosemiter (

It is true that Madden meets a bare minimum of NHOCKEY, as you explained in the nom. But he also has additional credentials that while falling short of NHOCKEY do not fall far short, unlike many run-of-the-mill AfD subjects. For example, he did not play 90 games in the AHL. But he did play more than 80 (a quick sum from Elite Prospects I think gives me 83). Also, he was the Memorial Cup MVP which is not an award we include in the NHOCKEY criteria but not a trivial award either, and one that may (and in Madden's case did) bring him some coverage. 15:13, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Delete or merge into a combined "Airlines of European Dependencies". I tend to agree. A one entry list that so rarely changes isn't likely to do much good. See also
List of defunct airlines of Faroe Islands. At one point they formed a combined list of two but that's still not obviously useful. The only value I can see in a list for these airlines is to populate
List of airlines of the Faroe Islands, which might be helpful to people exploring the airlines of various countries and territories. In that case, though, it might be better to make one page for those smaller places' airlines. The other two existing lists are
List of airlines of Guernsey and
List of airlines of Svalbard, both two entries long.

Comment: This could probably be incubated maybe, if

Comment: I've tidied the article up a bit but I think it's a borderline case. There has been some coverage about the fact that it's been unable to secure a release because of India/Pakistan tensions (being an Indian film with a Pakistani actress), but not a huge amount. Total Bollywood

Draftify. I think that's right. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for more sources and can't find any. Supposing this isn't released, I don't think it'll warrant an article long-term. Supposing it is released, perhaps soon, presumably it'll get more attention then and we can write an article based on that. If we just delete it we'd lose the work that's gone into it which would make writing that version harder, so moving this to a draft seems like the best call.

Delete As said above, the hagiography gets in the way of serious analysis, but once out of the way (it should be now- I've had a gin at it), the remainder of the article does not withstand scrutiny. Whatever limited notability the village had (and a search suggests it was not as popular as the article indicates), the creator had even less; their are almost no sources apart from us online. Now, of course, they don't have to be online only; but it would be odd for a notable topic not to have some online presence. The article's references do not exist, so they cannot be taken to demonstrate weight. The list of sources at the bottom of the article would be useful, but they are inaccessable to me atm. Perhaps someone who can glance through them can weigh up the
WP:DEPTH and
WP:PERSISTENCE of coverage the article subject would require to pass
WP:GNG at the least.
Further- let me re-emphasise, partly encouraged by
Thewayweis' call to arms below, that if as has has been mentioned many times there are newspaper articles from the 70s (or whenever), they would go a long way to demonstrating the notability which is required but is still lacking. So,
Thewayweis, can I suggest (in the most emphatic manner politely possible!) that instead of attempting a campaign of moral persuasion via
massive chunks of text here, your time would be far better spent collating these source articles. You will note, perhaps, that your massive paragaph has been answered, succintly and accurately by
Theroadislong in a single line, regardless of how much you wrote. So, get the newspaper references you mentioned, and either insert them into the SLF page as references, or put them on the
article talk page, or even bring them here. Title, date, article title, byline, page number would be great- and sufficient. You do not need permission of the journalists to cite their work. Otherwise there would be no encyclopaedias :) and, after all, we have many editors who are local enough that if they want they can probably physically check the newspaper archives at another date.

Weak delete I'm not seeing sources online, like the other posters have noted above. There's a chance with somebody who was notable in that time, that there's a lot of material offline, but unless somebody can find it it's not doing us any good.
White Arabian FillyNeigh 23:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Weak delete pretty much per the same reasoning as White Arabian Filly above. I have done some minor cleanup of the article just now, removing footnotes that no longer supported anything in the text, removing one newspaper ref that did not mention the title of the paper and so would be untraceable even for somebody with access to offline archives, and just tidying up the refs.
Here is the article before my edit, in case somebody wants to look at those now-removed references. The company mentioned in the lede does not have any online footprint that I can find. The Sir David Brand Award for Tourism might be a claim to notability, but I'm not sufficiently convinced to change my !vote on that count. As for the Elizabethan Village, it looks like a place I would like to visit and there's obviously a lot of hard work and dedication behind it - which does not translate into notability, unfortunately. There seems to have been a number of local newspaper articles written about it when it was opened and again around its anniversary, but nothing that would meet
WP:GNG. It is mentioned in
Armadale, Western Australia which is reasonable but I do not believe that it adds to its creator's notability. --bonadeacontributionstalk 10:32, 25 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Comment I feel the need to enter this discussion and hopefully put my point across as the author of the article. As a newcomer to wikipedia, I am deeply grateful for all the constructive editing that most contributors have done on the article and I truly don't mind guidance in any sense - I welcome it! Again, as a newcomer, half of the time I am not sure where to go to respond, as there are so many links within links within links to know what is the appropriate option. Nor do I know when suggestions come up on boxes how to fully implement them. Shame wiki cannot allocate a guide to each newcomer if not to make life a tad easier to contribute. The disputed recurring problems, in my humble opinion, seem to be notability and references. The fact is that Stanley Leopold Fowler DID build the Elizabethan Village in Armadale for which there is a plethora of images and documented video footage, he DID win the prestigious Sir David Brand Award for Tourism (images of newspaper articles were supplied to wiki permissions), he DID have three attempts to get permission off Dr. Levi Fox (I spoke to Amy Hurst at the Trust who verified his attempts as they are noted in their archives), the Elizabethan Village DID get a plaque commemorating him and the Elizabethan Village as a historic site which he built (the images were sent to wiki permissions and the City of Armadale needs to grant permission for them to be released). What some one personally thinks about the site pales into insignificance with the fact that it is there and standing as a historic site. I might not like the Stonehenge but it is there as a testimony. I personally saw the blueprints at the archives at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford -upon -Avon and spoke to Amy Hurst, Collections Archivist at the Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust, who can verify their gratitude not only for posterity but also for having the only accurate blueprints, drawings of the original buildings, which they can consult to keep the original buildings from decay). The references kindly given by his daughter, Sally-ann Fowler were from newspaper articles from the 70's (I provided images to this effect of the articles) and I have asked wiki permissions ([Ticket#2017012910007647] Stanley Leopold Fowler) if these can be used. The problem, as I see it, is that they cannot be used as permission needs to be sought from the authors of these articles (who are possibly deceased and cannot be tracked, although I have tried). When the article was initially proposed for deletion this issue, I thought was dealt with but it seems to have reared it's ugly head three times. I hoped that dealing with it once was enough!
The issue of collaboration as I see it, especially with the last deletion proposal, was that there was no collaboration nor constructive guidance by the editor who deleted it. Albeit, I must apologize for thinking it was Theroadislong although he/she cited COI. I was fascinated by the man who actually created something tangible for prosperity, which is officially deemed a historic site, and there is nothing concrete said about him. Is he to fall into obscurity because of referencing? If my style of writing was the issue that can be changed, but no one even said it was to me for me to correct it, although it was called a 'hagiography'. Yes there are guidelines on wiki, but those seem to also be at the whim of individual interpretation. I question how many times can the same article be up for deletion? Going back to the beginning, I cannot stress how grateful I am for the constructive editors who have truly contributed, helped and guided this newcomer...so on a positive...there is always hope!

On Sall-ann Fowler' s you tube channel you can find footage of Bricklehampton Hall and Round Island as well as the imported antiques and the Elizabethan village.
There are more snippets in articles I can post if you wish but they are unmarked so not sure of the actual newspaper. I had to reload them on and upload them to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Stanley_Leopold_Fowler as this is as far as my wiki knowledge extends.
Hopefully, these uploads for you will be enough reference for Stanley Leopold Fowler to stay on wiki as a notable human being. There are also two books published by Sally-ann Fowler with ISBN numbers, that I listed originally, but was told being that they were self-published it doesn't count :( although you can buy them on amazon, lulu and i think Barns and Noble.
P.S. The article about the Round Island sale hasn't comeup. It was published in Evening Echo, Bournemouth "Another Island up for sale" speaks of Leo Fowler being the owner of the island. — Preceding

Create article
Elizabethan Village, and redirect SLF to it. A search on Google Books under " "Elizabethan village" Armadale" suggests it was a regular tourist attraction in its day, and someone with access to old Australian tourist guidebooks would find much more coverage. The impressive collection of press cuttings can be used as references, before someone deletes them all as copyvio. It gets a mention by Howard Jacobson, a mention in a novel, etc. A contemporary tourist attraction with comparable listings would be likely to have an article. The man is probably not notable, but his creation seems to be. Another useful current ref

Thank you for the comments and the willingness to tidy whatever needs tiding but I have to say that the discussion above has horrified me. You are willing to accept the Elizabethan Village but not accept the creator!!!!! Astonishing !!!! It's like acknowledging the works of Shakespeare but not acknowledging the writer. The village is notable but not the creator....Did the village create itself. At the end of the day, did the village literally receive the award into it's hands or was it handed into the hands of its owner, creator and builder Leo Fowler. Splitting hairs comes to mind. The plaque issued in 2009 states "City of Armadale - Historic Site - Elizabethan Village - Brought to reality by the vision and hard work of retired British Engineer, Leo Fowler, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's Birthplace and Cobwebs Restaurant accurate replicas of the original buildings on Stratford-On-Avon.".
I truly don't know what to say to the above! On the subject of copywright, all the above was given with the permission of Leo's daughter Sally-ann Fowler, and as Imperatrix Mundi said "You do not need permission of the journalists to cite their work. Otherwise there would be no encyclopaedias " I have given everything that you have asked of me and still, it seems, that someone, something wants to discredit the man who created and self-financed the village.
Forgot to mention the brilliant story of the bricks, window frames and tiles, together with all the antiques swimming across the oceans to land on the Western Australian shores and gather together, under the moonlight, reaching a consensus of who is going to be assembled with whom, of course with the help of all the reusable jarra. And that's how they built the Elizabethan Village.

Absolutely no one here is trying to discredit Stanley, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarises dispassionately what
independent, reliable sources say about a topic. If there are insufficient sources about him, as opposed to the Elizabethan village then we can't have an article about him.
Theroadislong (
talk) 16:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Thewayweis, is your view that there should be articles about both the village and the creator? My impression from the discussion was that other editors think that because he's mostly notable for the village, we can cover the details about him in an article about that and don't need both. Perhaps we should write the village article and then see if you still think there are details that that need to be presented on a page of their own.
Mortee (
talk) 17:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Firstly, my response to Theroadislong Technically, you ARE discrediting him as a creator of the village and just accepting the creation. Quoting the need for "reliable" sources even after the knowledge of the era we are talking about is beyond comprehension. I have been saying repeatedly, to no avail, since I have written the article that Leo and the Village happened in the 1970's which is a very, very different information era than the one we know these days. I have complied to the requests above and posted on here images to that effect. Leo is the village, the village wouldn't exist without Leo! There is a history room named after him "Leo Fowler Function Room". This process is equal to Kafka's "Trial" as it seems an article can be up for deletion three times at the whim of individual likes or dislikes. Please delete all wiki articles of people who have ever created anything and just keep the creations. What more do you want ...it was in the 70's!!!!!!!! Forgive me,but the communications that are building with yourself, as the nominator for deletion, seem to have become a personal mission, to what extent, is unclear to me.. I accept constructive ways forward but refuse ones that are making no sense.... it appears the road is truly long!!!!!
Secondly, my response to Mortee - yes an article should be for both on wiki...As I said if you accept one (the creation) and discredit the other (the creator) by this line of suggestion you should remove many other names from wikipedia and just retain the creation. This whole journey has become a non constructive farce....

Comment: I would have a look at
WP:ITSA and
WP:NRV to get a picture of the arguments being used. Shakespeare is notable because there are sources about him - not because he wrote the plays; they were a conduit to provide those sources. It appears that the village is notable, but the creator does not necessarily inherit the notability of the village, notability is not inherited. Only sources can establish this.

Delete. There's no indication here of anything that makes this person a suitable subject for an encyclopaedia article: he was a policeman and then deputy director of a (national) government department, but what did he achieve, do or say that anyone would want to read about?
WP:ANYBIO is indeed satisfied by his inclusion in the Australian Dictionary of National Biography, but that criterion is quite specific that, while "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the […] standards", "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". It's my understanding – open to correction – that an
OBE is a fairly mundane honour routinely dished out to civil servants inter alia.

@
Justlettersandnumbers: - some quotes from the ADNB entry that might be relevant below. I'd say these are enough to warrant an article (as the ADNB clearly agreed). It includes a bibliography, too, so it should be possible to incorporate those sources.
Delete as a copyvio, with no prejudice against the creation of a new article on the same topic. ADB is usually a pretty good indicator that someone is notable and that multiple sources exist on them.

Why delete first rather than rewriting now? I've been holding off editing because of the wording of the copyright template, waiting for that claim to receive attention, but if we agree that there should be an article about this person, shouldn't we rewrite this article rather than asking an administrator to delete it first?

Cannot verify criterion 4, because it is not clear whether those sources are reliable or independent. Two of them appear to be blogs, one is just a directory listing, and one is an interview; none of those constitute the type of coverage we need.
FAILS criterion 5, because they have not released 2 albums under any notable label.
It isn't sufficient just to have radio plays; see criterion 11. They need to be played
in rotation nationally. ~

He passed the Hebrew wikipedia (with no discussion on notability - just tone), and is amply sourced there. see -
[19]. I will source all unsourced claims here. This is currently the largest Ponzi case ever in Israel - and is a significant amount also in dollar terms (more than 100 Million USD).
Icewhiz (

Delete Neutral for now KeepIt looks like he is notable but the article needs sourcing that addresses his pre-case notability and his involvement in the alleged Ponzi scheme must be handled very carefully. I will wait to see how the article evolves for a bit. This is currently a wholely negative BLP that is nearly unsourced and really should not be up. If it is improved I will change my !vote. Also he has not been convicted so there is the matter of
WP:BLPCRIME to consider.

Stubbed the article. Looking for some sources that are about him that can be used to source the article that do not focus on the unproven fraud charges.
Jbh Talk 11:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Regarding the charges - he himeself hasn't been convicted criminally - the case is ongoing. However, in civil court the companies were placed in final liquidation and -his own personal assets- are also under liquidation. In addition, a worker in his fund was recently convicted and sentenced in the criminal case as she placed a guilty plea-bargain plea (
[20]). In this regard this case is much-much farther along than where Madoff was in January 2009 for instance -
[21].
The fund / rubicon company / and Bramli himself - were all found in civil court to have their assets "tangled". Bramli was the public face of the companies.

@
Icewhiz: Please read Wikipedia's
policy on biographies of living persons. In particular please see BLPCRIME. We do not, in general, put indictments and accusations in biographies nor do we tie people indirectly to criminal activity unless they have been convicted. This goes double when it is the only material in a biography. It is possible you could find consensus for this material but I would suggest you bring it up at the
BLP Noticeboard to get more input before adding such material.
Jbh Talk 12:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
The BLPCRIME issue is complex given the concurrent civil (where there has been some judgements) and criminal proceedings here (where he hasn't been convicted as of yet, co-conspirator had been convicted (plea-bargain)). If the consensus here is that this can't be mentioned - I think I'll wait until there is a final verdict in an Israeli criminal court to write this up here more extensively (with other bio material as well). He is very high profile in Israeli media prior to the case -
[22] 313 news items for 2009-2014 (pre-troubles). In short - I will bow to your better judgement.
Icewhiz (
talk) 13:24, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
If he has a lot of material pre-case then that can be used to balance out the article to avoid it being wholely negative and not
WP:NPOV. Depending on how it is written, the civil case and, maybe, the investigation can be dealt with. BLPCRIME is not always an absolute bar but it requires a strong consensus and delicate/conservative handeling of the issues which is why I suggested discussing it at
WP:BLPN. It might also be worthwhile to write separate articles about the case/investigation and funds (assuming they are notable per
WP:ILLCON.)

Regarding
WP:GNG - now have 45 references spanning 2012-2016, covering several different topics (from in-depth inteviews with Bramly, to specific issues he was involved with), from a number of sources:
Calcalist,
Globes (incl. Globes English when available (spotty)),
TheMarker - these 3 are the leading Israeli economic papaers.
Forbes Israel - probably ranks beneath these three for local finance.
Yedioth Ahronoth - One of Israel's leading newspapers.
The Times of Israel - English coverage of Israel.
Haaretz English (TheMarker is affiliated with Haaretz - is an insert, so most finance stuff is there) - Israel's premier newspaper (roughly locally equivalent to NYT/WP).
Israel Securities Authority - public warning against Amir Bramly (mentioned in text several times) and Kela.
Israeli News Company - leading TV news in Israel.
Bloomberg - mainly for company/executing info. ICE - a media site that covers media affairs in Israel
Walla! - one of the leading Israeli news portals. Bizportal - Financial portal. Roughly locally equivalent to
MarketWatch in local significance. Net Acre - local Acre newspaper, insignificant - there for color on hometown.

Keep - I admit the original had issues regarding tone and BLP policy. As it now stands (I even linked a
Wikipedia:Orphan:
Ezbob) - it is neutral tone-wise (if at all - too "pro Bramly"), and is amply-sourced, from all or almost all (and if I left anyone out - omission of mine, they have coverage) major Israeli publications, spanning 5+ years from 201210+ years from 2006 (OK - I just added one from 2006, but from Haaretz on a business of his (with a quote from him) moving during to Tel-Aviv during the war). It is possible to source more, if needed, seeing he has over 1000 news items on google-news -
[25]. Due to his very high profile(pre-troubles), he is notable beyond his business troubles/ponzi.

Comment - Please take another look, as the issues causing nomination (tone + BLP policy + sources) were rectified post listing with a major-major rewrite (
Jbh- who made the initial PROD (on A7)- changed his vote to keep.
Adam9007 changed the initial PROD to AFD, but hasn't looked since.
John Pack Lambert - voted on the pre-rewrite stubbified version (and on that version his vote was correct - as it was missing sources that were mostly edited out)). This is a very high-profile individual in the Israeli business scene from before his troubles - and the alleged ponzi scheme and issue surrounding it (raising funds without a prospectus) have causes major ramifications with the local regulation/legislation regarding fund raising from the public. The current article (as opposed to the original) is very well sourced - over 60 sources from all major Israeli news outlets, covering a 10 year span. Some of these sources are in English (where possible - some of the local financial stuff is translated), the rest is in Hebrew.

Delete as a

WP:NCORP or
WP:GNG. There is a
huge number of references in the article, none of which does more than mention Over The Top in passing (in some cases there's not even a mention of the company's name). Several of the refs are different copies of the same text, which is not surprising if you look at the authors - a few people have written texts where they briefly quote the company's founder and have then sold the same text to different publishers. I'm sure it is good SEM tactics or whatever, but it doesn't make the company (nor its founder) notable for Wikipedia's purposes. --bonadeacontributionstalk 09:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply

If you could provide some reviews of this software (eg. in published magazines), it would help your cause.

I'd agree with you if the promotional language was my only concern, but as I stated in the nomination rationale, the issue is that the GNG isn't met - there's no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, there's just press releases (which aren't independent, reliable sources), mentions in the websites of the various owners and articles about the company rather than the software product itself.

It's just more and more PR stuff - regurgitated press releases. My personal recommendation is that you should be asking for the article to be moved into Draft space until you've finished finding sources, and then submitting your draft for review before publishing it. Wikipedia articles are meant to be complete, not works-in-progress.

WP:BEFORE Heading C states that "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD.". Reading further under heading D, it appears that incomplete articles are not to be deleted, but rather improved. I am not referring in any way to the article at hand, merely that AfD is about whether the subject matter is deserving of an article, not a judgment of the quality of the article in its current state.

In this case the "PR" label does not apply to every source. The article's creator is not affiliated with the company, and there was no intention of making it a promotional piece.

There is a plenty of coverage, but that fact alone does not support notability of the article. The topic is banal and commonplace. It is worth a mention or two in the Trump article or in the DOJ article, etc. But an article all to itself is not justfied. Also, the name of the article speaks to the fact that it is not deserving of an article topic. The word "controversy" is not really used in the reliable sources. Why the use of the word "controversy" when the
Slate magazine article, not a hotbed of conservative thought, calls the whole thing much to do about nothing. It seems a bit like the title is a stretch to justify an article where no one exists. We can't name an article a controvesy when Slate specifically states that it is not a controversy and only the article creator really thinks it is a controversy. It needs to be either merged or moved or fully deleted, but kept as an article? No.--

Keep. I think this meets the hurdle, mostly on the
Preet Bharara element. It's true that mass dismissals have happened in the past, but as the sources reflect, the specific context and timing of this one make it distinctive. (And, as pointed out above, an event does not need to be unprecedented to be notable). Alternatively — and this would require a lot more work but would be superior and better for the reader — I would suggest a merge/redirect into a future article on United States Department of Justice during the Trump administration, which could cover this and a lot more ground (marijuana policy, crime policy, the Sally Yates dismissal, etc.) without overwhelming another article.
Neutralitytalk 23:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep This has significant media coverage for the surprise of the announcements of the resignations of 46 US Attorneys at once, many were not expected to resign on Friday, and the firing of
Preet Bharara is significant in itself as he had been asked to stay on previously and has now been fired, similar to
Sally Yates, whose dismissal has its own Wikipedia article. Since Attorney General
Janet Reno did something similar in the past, perhaps the article should be moved to "
2017 dismissal of U.S. attorneys" as has been mentioned earlier, however this article does not merit deletion as it passes

Keep. Per
WP:EVENT, this is notable because, "An event is presumed to be notable if it receives significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope." This clearly has widespread non-routine coverage and affects federal law enforcement throughout the United States. There is no requirement that an event be unprecedented (we have articles on every Super Bowl, and every presidential inauguration), although some parts of this do seem to be unprecedented. It just has to be notable. At least two aspects in particular are receiving non-routine coverage: 1. Preet Bharara was fired (he did not resign). 2. There are
earlier reports that he was previously asked to stay on. No strong preference on the title.

Comment This event has inspired controversy, so it is controversial. However, I am not certain if it is sufficiently notable. (To put it another way, will the average well-informed American remember this in 12 months?) Usually the USAs are dismissed at the start of a new administration, but not usually in this fashion. The last 2 presidents did not repeat the mass purge that Janet Reno did at the start of the Clinton administration, but requested resignations as replacements were appointed. Some of these firings and resignations were under somewhat unusual circumstances. The situation with the Manhattan USA is somewhat unusual, but by itself that could be on his page rather than requiring its own page. I think someone may have slightly jumped the gun on posting this article, but that's debatable. I would not jump to deleting it so quickly, but if the turmoil turns out to be little more than it seems so far, then the information on this page can be added to other pages and the article deleted. If this controversy turns out to be bigger then the page is warranted. At the time that it first emerged, nobody thought that Whitewater would take 8 years to resolve.--

Keep I think that the people who are stating that it is not controversial really mean that it should not be controversial. In fact, it is getting significant press coverage and merits coverage here. However, getting rid of the word "controversy" in the title was a good move. History will determine what lasting effect, if any, it has.
Keep Removing the word "controversy" was helpful and should be done retroactively for the 2006 article and housekeeping done to assure that Wikilinks are preserved. Those earlier removals, in the middle of the second GWB term, seven on Pearl Harbor Day a decade ago, were extremely controversial and memorable, some clearly done with palpable and specific political motivations (i.e., to effect the illegal major suppression of voting rights, for instance, and in possible retaliation for the prosecutions of corrupt Republican officeholders such as the just recently released
Rick Renzi), and involved extensive congressional hearings and the arguably perjurious testimony by the sitting U.S. Attorney General,
Alberto Gonzales and DOJ officials
Bradley Schlozman and
Monica Goodling. Cleaning house in a more orderly fashion, but done largely for reasons of political patronage is radically different than simultaneous cashiering a notable number of such officeholders mainly effectuated to cover up actual or intended criminality, or involving intended black-letter DOJ policy violations. The firing of
David Iglesias,
Carol Lam,
Bud Cummins,
Todd Graves and
Paul Charlton, all Republicans, were particularly notable and sordid, yet most were given months to "clean out their desks."
Preet Bharara is not the only USAAG in the midst of important prosecutions, but i.e., so is the USAAG for the Southern District of Mississippi who is handling a wide ranging ongoing political corruption case, apparently with yet undisclosed indictments.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, the 2006 U.S. Attorney firing was unprecedented. A new administration often (see Clinton, Bush, and Obama) cleans house of the USA's appointed by the last president. They don't do it in the middle of the administration because of politics. Also, the fact that many of these USA's are notable does not make their dismissal a notable event of its own, it means their bios can cover the content adequately. –

A promotional page for a subject that does not meet WP:NFILM. No encyclopedically relevant content as to film's importance or impact on the popular culture. "Eights Best Film" is not a significant award.

Delete. The claimed "eighth place" award is not a major award for some aspect of excellence in filmmaking, as required by NFILM, and there is no evidence this particular film meets GNG requirements. As I wrote in the initial AFD, "no coverage shown in reliable independent sources. The
Pink Grand Prix is a readers' poll conducted by "PG" (perhaps "P*G") magazine, a publication of no established notability. According to this news article
[1], cited as a reliable source in the article on the award itself, "PG" is a "fanzine," or fan magazine. Reader polls, whether for print or online publications, generally aren't seen as establishing notability unless the publication is clearly notable (if then), and when they are, only the first place finisher is generally seen as having its own notability established by the poll. The film's article is sourced only to a comprehensive listing of produced films, which establishes only existence but not notability, and to the fanzine's own website, which lacks the independence required to establish notability".

Delete an article lacking reliable sources. There are those who have in the past lamaneted that Wikipedia has more articles on pornographic film actresses than women poets. That is not true in the American categories, with 1669 articles on women poets and 408 on pornographic film actresses. However in the Japanese case we have 71 articles on women poets and 148 on pornographic film actresses. I think the Am porn actresses cat used to be well over 600, but through application of notability standards has seen unnotable articles removed. I have to admit even there I am not at all convinced all 408 are notable.

secondary sources in the article (and none found in a

WP:BLP of an academic. This was actually created on
WP:NPOL grounds rather than
WP:NACADEMICS, as he was named last year to the
Senate of Canada -- however, he subsequently declined the appointment for personal reasons, and has never actually been nor will he ever be sworn in as a senator at all. So the NPOL passage is gone, and his notability would now have to be stacked onto his work as a psychiatry professor to remain includable -- but the only source provided for that is his
primary source profile on the website of his own employer, which isn't what it would take to be deemed notable on that basis. And I can't find anything on a
ProQuest search that would bolster the notability of the academic position; all I get is hits where he's either glancingly namechecked in coverage of other things, or the author of the piece rather than its subject. So it was a good faith creation at the time, but circumstances have changed and it doesn't meet any inclusion standards anymore.

Johnpacklambert Dude, I improve Wikipedia by adding significant content all the time, so I take issue with this characterization and call out. If you did as many article rescues and improvements as I do then you have to be judicious as to the amount of work done and where. If I could do this full time as a paid editor I would, and would do a more deep scrub of pages like this. I'm definitely over-reacting here but this type of criticism is something I've never seen. My goals here were to (a) remove the concern about notability and this AfD by establishing notability more fully and close this AfD and (b) bring it to a stub status, both of which efforts I believe were successful. As feedback I think it might be helpful to examine why you wrote this, and how constructive it is. But maybe you are just trolling here and trying to get a negative response? I'm not sure. But I want you to know I don't appreciate having my efforts -- and the outrageous question if I had done enough work -- brought up like this. -- Erika aka

Assuming my goodlge search done now is similar to the one done at first, I can see the "essentially nothing" argument. What leads the google search are Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery and Cameron Trading Post listings. I have been to the Cameron Trading Post and while they sell fine art pottery, I doubt all their works are from notable potters. Google leading with commercial, for sale sites does not mean that there are not reliable source coverages though.

Hi. I'm disagree. You have to check on publishment in paper. If we are going to follow the Wikipedias policy, its standing that sources is one of the most important tools to prove. I hope you as an administrator has read this link:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines
He has been mention in web and newspaper (on paper/web). One of the article in Wikipedias policy said that the person can have external links publish, since this person is an official person. He has own website, are on television, In France, Norway and Russia. The external links has to prove you.
You write: "No matter how he spells his name, the subject still isn't notable." - How can you know when people from other countries knows him? And also sounds that you do not care about the sources or the person. How can you say that he is not a notable? The article is a notable, because the Wikipedias policy says this: "Wikipedia policies and guidelines are developed by the community to describe best practices, clarify principles, resolve conflicts, and otherwise further our goal of creating a free, reliable encyclopedia". This is about a reliable person, not a fiction.

Sveio, right? The editor of a small-town magazine/website with a circulation in the 4,000-6,000 range is not likely to be notable without substantial sources. They support that he exists and started a community project, but do not establish

Sveiobladet is just the name of the newspaper. The newspaper is branched on Haugaland, Stord, Sveio, Haugesund, Karmøy, Tysvaer and Fitjar. Article about Daniel DeNIazi, is about him and the sources about what he i known for. And the reasons I bring the article up to other people, is that he is known for the articles about them. I have also mention these people, because Wikipedia do not believe that Daniel is an reliable person. Wikkipedia do not follow their owns policy and guidelines.
I do not understand why Daniel DeNiazi is not an interested person on Wikipedia when he has his name on TV, in newspapers, magazines for his etablishment. He is an journalist and have work as a journalist in 8 years. He has worked in NRK, Sunnhordland (newspaper), Vestavind (Newspaper).
Why do you references to website in te circulation in the 4.000-6.000. ANd talk about the he is the editor in a small newspaper, when Sveiobladet is a daily newspaper?? NRK and Hnytt are not usable. They are sourcess that follow the Wikipedias policy and guidelines.

You will not find so many articles about him. Daniel DeNiazi has a results (if you search Daniel Niazi) that is more than Cato Manuel Ekrene and is more mentioned in magazine then Cato and Scott together.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I really do not understand a lot of what you are saying. For this article to be saved, we need reliable sources of substance which are about him as a person. Those sources must be independent of him. His website is not independent. Facebook is not independent. An interview with him is not independent. An interview with him in the newspaper he edits is definitely not independent. Also, those sources must explain why he is notable. Having worked as a journalist for eight years (since he was 17 or 18, I guess?) doesn't matter. Many people work in jobs for a long time, but that doesn't make them notable. You say he is "known for" articles about other people... who knows him for that? Are there sources about these articles? Great! Where are they? If not, it doesn't matter, because he's just doing a job. Are you suggesting he's more notable than Ekrene? Perhaps
Cato Manuel Ekrene should be improved or deleted also, but this

Please look more carefully at
WP:JOURNALIST. We're not looking for examples of his work, we are looking for coverage of his work. Not all reliable sources are useful for establishing notability. DeNiazi's articles may be reliable for other articles, but that doesn't make him notable as a journalist. Let me say that again another way: A source can be reliable, but still not establish notability, because notability guidelines require secondary coverage of substance.
I followed some of those press links at his own website. One was a
dead link,
Someof the
others didn't appear to mention him at all (is he... in one of the photos? Not a good sign), and a third was a
profile of him as a blogger. That profile is usable, but definitely on the weak side, especially since the article currently mentions nothing about his blogging activities. I'm underwhelmed. Wikipedia sources do not have to be online, but they do still have to meet other requirements. A list of articles which may or may not mention him is useless for this.

Delete. The article identifies Evans as a "singer, songwriter and YouTube personality". I have followed Evans and his ex-wife,
Colleen Ballinger, closely since 2009 because of my interest in her career. I believe that Evans's entertainment career is based almost entirely on his association with his ex-wife, with whom he toured briefly. He has performed on a cruise ship and with a non-notable "boy group", but he has never recorded or released any music. He is *not* a songwriter; he does not write, and has not written, songs. As a "YouTube personality", Social Blade ranks him
18,969th among YouTubers and 2,128th by number of subscriptions. Like thousands of other people, he has monetized his YouTube vlogs, but I do not believe that it makes him notable. --

Delete. I can't find anything on Yahoo or Bing that comes any closer to demonstrating
WP:GNG than what can be found with Google, and the suggestion of purposeful "suppression" of this little enterprise by Google is not worthy of consideration. The amount of time or effort put into a project, and the nobility of its aims, are irrelevant to whether it merits an encyclopedia article – the only thing that matters is external recognition through significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. That has not been demonstrated here, and it appears unlikely that it can be demonstrated. —

This is ZzeonBlue and the previous edit was a mistake and misunderstanding of the cut and paste

Not attempting to deceive anyone or cause any harm - just trying place an article on wikipedia. I understand the notability guidelines and am working very hard to build the external links which offer substantive evidence of our effort and work in this world of streaming. I offer "allow some time for editing as deletion should be a last resort when subject material is being developed and introduced to provide valid content. I also understand reviewers have tools and use regular processes everyday to keep Wikipedia as clean and factual as possible. In the history of streaming, there were many players and incremental gains made, very few from the 90s exist today, and their struggle is worth discovering. As barbwires ties new agreements with EU labels and promotional groups, as it has in the past year, it will demonstrate new growth, we are documenting that growth dynamically.

The subject is the biological father of a notable footballer
Dele Alli, but I don't think that gives the subject here any notability. According to the article about the son, the subject "moved to the United States a week after Dele's birth" and may have taken no part in his upbringing. I can see no notability shown here for this subject apart possibly from the
WP:BLP1E fact of his being Dele's father. Some of the details of Dele's upbringing given in his article are at variance with some of the things I've seen on Google that claim he was raised in Lagos, and others that claim that the subject here was involved with the upbringing. All in all, it looks like there is information and there is misinformation to be found. Here, we are looking primarily at the subject's notability, and the future of this mildly promotional article.

Delete. Being chair of a youth organization is not an automatic notability freebie just because he exists. It would be enough if he could be
reliably sourced to enough media coverage to get him over
WP:GNG, but three of the four sources here are
primary sources (the organization's own webpage, the webpage of the university where he's a student, the webpage of a second university that had a delegate at the conference). There's only one source here that's even a maybe on the "does this source count toward demonstrating encyclopedic notability?" test — but even if we give Free Malaysia Today the benefit of the doubt, one RS is not enough RS to clear GNG. And while it's not quite a foregone conclusion that the article was actually an outright
WP:AUTOBIO, the creator's username "Rcsyouthmalaysia" is certainly indicative of some form of
conflict of interest (i.e. it could have been a friend or colleague of his.)

He appears to fail to fail to
WP:GNG per only a few
routine sources. He seems to pass the bare minimum of
WP:NHOCKEY with a first team all star selection for the ECHL but that assumes notability, it is not automatic. Maybe someone else can find a secondary independent source to back up a
WP:GNG claim?

Keep - Meets NHOCKEY and has received some coverage, for example

@
JaconaFrere:Per Elite Prospects, he was an ECHL First Team in 2004–05 which meets NHOCKEY #4 (the bare minimum as I said). This usually means there are articles about him but does not mean that he automatically passes GNG. The ESPN and Canoe articles from Rlendog though might be secondary enough to not be considered routine.
Yosemiter (
talk) 13:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)reply
It is true that Madden meets a bare minimum of NHOCKEY, as you explained in the nom. But he also has additional credentials that while falling short of NHOCKEY do not fall far short, unlike many run-of-the-mill AfD subjects. For example, he did not play 90 games in the AHL. But he did play more than 80 (a quick sum from Elite Prospects I think gives me 83).

Comment: I've tidied the article up a bit but I think it's a borderline case. There has been some coverage about the fact that it's been unable to secure a release because of India/Pakistan tensions (being an Indian film with a Pakistani actress), but not a huge amount. Total Bollywood

Draftify. I think that's right. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for more sources and can't find any. Supposing this isn't released, I don't think it'll warrant an article long-term. Supposing it is released, perhaps soon, presumably it'll get more attention then and we can write an article based on that. If we just delete it we'd lose the work that's gone into it which would make writing that version harder, so moving this to a draft seems like the best call.

Delete As said above, the hagiography gets in the way of serious analysis, but once out of the way (it should be now- I've had a gin at it), the remainder of the article does not withstand scrutiny. Whatever limited notability the village had (and a search suggests it was not as popular as the article indicates), the creator had even less; their are almost no sources apart from us online. Now, of course, they don't have to be online only; but it would be odd for a notable topic not to have some online presence. The article's references do not exist, so they cannot be taken to demonstrate weight. The list of sources at the bottom of the article would be useful, but they are inaccessable to me atm. Perhaps someone who can glance through them can weigh up the
WP:DEPTH and
WP:PERSISTENCE of coverage the article subject would require to pass
WP:GNG at the least.
Further- let me re-emphasise, partly encouraged by
Thewayweis' call to arms below, that if as has has been mentioned many times there are newspaper articles from the 70s (or whenever), they would go a long way to demonstrating the notability which is required but is still lacking. So,
Thewayweis, can I suggest (in the most emphatic manner politely possible!) that instead of attempting a campaign of moral persuasion via
massive chunks of text here, your time would be far better spent collating these source articles. You will note, perhaps, that your massive paragaph has been answered, succintly and accurately by
Theroadislong in a single line, regardless of how much you wrote. So, get the newspaper references you mentioned, and either insert them into the SLF page as references, or put them on the
article talk page, or even bring them here. Title, date, article title, byline, page number would be great- and sufficient. You do not need permission of the journalists to cite their work. Otherwise there would be no encyclopaedias :) and, after all, we have many editors who are local enough that if they want they can probably physically check the newspaper archives at another date.

Weak delete I'm not seeing sources online, like the other posters have noted above. There's a chance with somebody who was notable in that time, that there's a lot of material offline, but unless somebody can find it it's not doing us any good.
White Arabian FillyNeigh 23:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Weak delete pretty much per the same reasoning as White Arabian Filly above. I have done some minor cleanup of the article just now, removing footnotes that no longer supported anything in the text, removing one newspaper ref that did not mention the title of the paper and so would be untraceable even for somebody with access to offline archives, and just tidying up the refs.
Here is the article before my edit, in case somebody wants to look at those now-removed references. The company mentioned in the lede does not have any online footprint that I can find. The Sir David Brand Award for Tourism might be a claim to notability, but I'm not sufficiently convinced to change my !vote on that count. As for the Elizabethan Village, it looks like a place I would like to visit and there's obviously a lot of hard work and dedication behind it - which does not translate into notability, unfortunately. There seems to have been a number of local newspaper articles written about it when it was opened and again around its anniversary, but nothing that would meet
WP:GNG. It is mentioned in
Armadale, Western Australia which is reasonable but I do not believe that it adds to its creator's notability. --bonadeacontributionstalk 10:32, 25 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Comment I feel the need to enter this discussion and hopefully put my point across as the author of the article. As a newcomer to wikipedia, I am deeply grateful for all the constructive editing that most contributors have done on the article and I truly don't mind guidance in any sense - I welcome it! Again, as a newcomer, half of the time I am not sure where to go to respond, as there are so many links within links within links to know what is the appropriate option. Nor do I know when suggestions come up on boxes how to fully implement them. Shame wiki cannot allocate a guide to each newcomer if not to make life a tad easier to contribute. The disputed recurring problems, in my humble opinion, seem to be notability and references. The fact is that Stanley Leopold Fowler DID build the Elizabethan Village in Armadale for which there is a plethora of images and documented video footage, he DID win the prestigious Sir David Brand Award for Tourism (images of newspaper articles were supplied to wiki permissions), he DID have three attempts to get permission off Dr. Levi Fox (I spoke to Amy Hurst at the Trust who verified his attempts as they are noted in their archives), the Elizabethan Village DID get a plaque commemorating him and the Elizabethan Village as a historic site which he built (the images were sent to wiki permissions and the City of Armadale needs to grant permission for them to be released). What some one personally thinks about the site pales into insignificance with the fact that it is there and standing as a historic site. I might not like the Stonehenge but it is there as a testimony. I personally saw the blueprints at the archives at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford -upon -Avon and spoke to Amy Hurst, Collections Archivist at the Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust, who can verify their gratitude not only for posterity but also for having the only accurate blueprints, drawings of the original buildings, which they can consult to keep the original buildings from decay). The references kindly given by his daughter, Sally-ann Fowler were from newspaper articles from the 70's (I provided images to this effect of the articles) and I have asked wiki permissions ([Ticket#2017012910007647] Stanley Leopold Fowler) if these can be used. The problem, as I see it, is that they cannot be used as permission needs to be sought from the authors of these articles (who are possibly deceased and cannot be tracked, although I have tried). When the article was initially proposed for deletion this issue, I thought was dealt with but it seems to have reared it's ugly head three times. I hoped that dealing with it once was enough!
The issue of collaboration as I see it, especially with the last deletion proposal, was that there was no collaboration nor constructive guidance by the editor who deleted it. Albeit, I must apologize for thinking it was Theroadislong although he/she cited COI. I was fascinated by the man who actually created something tangible for prosperity, which is officially deemed a historic site, and there is nothing concrete said about him. Is he to fall into obscurity because of referencing? If my style of writing was the issue that can be changed, but no one even said it was to me for me to correct it, although it was called a 'hagiography'. Yes there are guidelines on wiki, but those seem to also be at the whim of individual interpretation. I question how many times can the same article be up for deletion? Going back to the beginning, I cannot stress how grateful I am for the constructive editors who have truly contributed, helped and guided this newcomer...so on a positive...there is always hope!

There are more snippets in articles I can post if you wish but they are unmarked so not sure of the actual newspaper. I had to reload them on and upload them to
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Stanley_Leopold_Fowler as this is as far as my wiki knowledge extends.
Hopefully, these uploads for you will be enough reference for Stanley Leopold Fowler to stay on wiki as a notable human being. There are also two books published by Sally-ann Fowler with ISBN numbers, that I listed originally, but was told being that they were self-published it doesn't count :( although you can buy them on amazon, lulu and i think Barns and Noble.
P.S. The article about the Round Island sale hasn't comeup. It was published in Evening Echo, Bournemouth "Another Island up for sale" speaks of Leo Fowler being the owner of the island. — Preceding

Create article
Elizabethan Village, and redirect SLF to it. A search on Google Books under " "Elizabethan village" Armadale" suggests it was a regular tourist attraction in its day, and someone with access to old Australian tourist guidebooks would find much more coverage. The impressive collection of press cuttings can be used as references, before someone deletes them all as copyvio. It gets a mention by Howard Jacobson, a mention in a novel, etc. A contemporary tourist attraction with comparable listings would be likely to have an article. The man is probably not notable, but his creation seems to be. Another useful current ref

Thank you for the comments and the willingness to tidy whatever needs tiding but I have to say that the discussion above has horrified me. You are willing to accept the Elizabethan Village but not accept the creator!!!!! Astonishing !!!! It's like acknowledging the works of Shakespeare but not acknowledging the writer. The village is notable but not the creator....Did the village create itself. At the end of the day, did the village literally receive the award into it's hands or was it handed into the hands of its owner, creator and builder Leo Fowler. Splitting hairs comes to mind. The plaque issued in 2009 states "City of Armadale - Historic Site - Elizabethan Village - Brought to reality by the vision and hard work of retired British Engineer, Leo Fowler, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's Birthplace and Cobwebs Restaurant accurate replicas of the original buildings on Stratford-On-Avon.".
I truly don't know what to say to the above! On the subject of copywright, all the above was given with the permission of Leo's daughter Sally-ann Fowler, and as Imperatrix Mundi said "You do not need permission of the journalists to cite their work. Otherwise there would be no encyclopaedias " I have given everything that you have asked of me and still, it seems, that someone, something wants to discredit the man who created and self-financed the village.
Forgot to mention the brilliant story of the bricks, window frames and tiles, together with all the antiques swimming across the oceans to land on the Western Australian shores and gather together, under the moonlight, reaching a consensus of who is going to be assembled with whom, of course with the help of all the reusable jarra. And that's how they built the Elizabethan Village.

Absolutely no one here is trying to discredit Stanley, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarises dispassionately what
independent, reliable sources say about a topic. If there are insufficient sources about him, as opposed to the Elizabethan village then we can't have an article about him.
Theroadislong (
talk) 16:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Thewayweis, is your view that there should be articles about both the village and the creator? My impression from the discussion was that other editors think that because he's mostly notable for the village, we can cover the details about him in an article about that and don't need both. Perhaps we should write the village article and then see if you still think there are details that that need to be presented on a page of their own.
Mortee (
talk) 17:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Firstly, my response to Theroadislong Technically, you ARE discrediting him as a creator of the village and just accepting the creation. Quoting the need for "reliable" sources even after the knowledge of the era we are talking about is beyond comprehension. I have been saying repeatedly, to no avail, since I have written the article that Leo and the Village happened in the 1970's which is a very, very different information era than the one we know these days. I have complied to the requests above and posted on here images to that effect. Leo is the village, the village wouldn't exist without Leo! There is a history room named after him "Leo Fowler Function Room". This process is equal to Kafka's "Trial" as it seems an article can be up for deletion three times at the whim of individual likes or dislikes. Please delete all wiki articles of people who have ever created anything and just keep the creations. What more do you want ...it was in the 70's!!!!!!!! Forgive me,but the communications that are building with yourself, as the nominator for deletion, seem to have become a personal mission, to what extent, is unclear to me.. I accept constructive ways forward but refuse ones that are making no sense.... it appears the road is truly long!!!!!
Secondly, my response to Mortee - yes an article should be for both on wiki...As I said if you accept one (the creation) and discredit the other (the creator) by this line of suggestion you should remove many other names from wikipedia and just retain the creation. This whole journey has become a non constructive farce....

WP:NRV to get a picture of the arguments being used. Shakespeare is notable because there are sources about him - not because he wrote the plays; they were a conduit to provide those sources. It appears that the village is notable, but the creator does not necessarily inherit the notability of the village, notability is not inherited. Only sources can establish this.

Delete. There's no indication here of anything that makes this person a suitable subject for an encyclopaedia article: he was a policeman and then deputy director of a (national) government department, but what did he achieve, do or say that anyone would want to read about?
WP:ANYBIO is indeed satisfied by his inclusion in the Australian Dictionary of National Biography, but that criterion is quite specific that, while "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the […] standards", "meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". It's my understanding – open to correction – that an
OBE is a fairly mundane honour routinely dished out to civil servants inter alia.

@

Why delete first rather than rewriting now?

Cannot verify criterion 4, because it is not clear whether those sources are reliable or independent. Two of them appear to be blogs, one is just a directory listing, and one is an interview; none of those constitute the type of coverage we need.

He passed the Hebrew wikipedia (with no discussion on notability - just tone), and is amply sourced there. see -
[19]. I will source all unsourced claims here. This is currently the largest Ponzi case ever in Israel - and is a significant amount also in dollar terms (more than 100 Million USD).
Icewhiz (

Delete Neutral for now KeepIt looks like he is notable but the article needs sourcing that addresses his pre-case notability and his involvement in the alleged Ponzi scheme must be handled very carefully. I will wait to see how the article evolves for a bit. This is currently a wholely negative BLP that is nearly unsourced and really should not be up. If it is improved I will change my !vote. Also he has not been convicted so there is the matter of
WP:BLPCRIME to consider.

Stubbed the article. Looking for some sources that are about him that can be used to source the article that do not focus on the unproven fraud charges.
Jbh Talk 11:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
Regarding the charges - he himeself hasn't been convicted criminally - the case is ongoing. However, in civil court the companies were placed in final liquidation and -his own personal assets- are also under liquidation. In addition, a worker in his fund was recently convicted and sentenced in the criminal case as she placed a guilty plea-bargain plea (
[20]). In this regard this case is much-much farther along than where Madoff was in January 2009 for instance -
[21].
The fund / rubicon company / and Bramli himself - were all found in civil court to have their assets "tangled". Bramli was the public face of the companies.

@
Icewhiz: Please read Wikipedia's
policy on biographies of living persons. In particular please see BLPCRIME. We do not, in general, put indictments and accusations in biographies nor do we tie people indirectly to criminal activity unless they have been convicted. This goes double when it is the only material in a biography. It is possible you could find consensus for this material but I would suggest you bring it up at the
BLP Noticeboard to get more input before adding such material.
Jbh Talk 12:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
The BLPCRIME issue is complex given the concurrent civil (where there has been some judgements) and criminal proceedings here (where he hasn't been convicted as of yet, co-conspirator had been convicted (plea-bargain)). If the consensus here is that this can't be mentioned - I think I'll wait until there is a final verdict in an Israeli criminal court to write this up here more extensively (with other bio material as well). He is very high profile in Israeli media prior to the case -
[22] 313 news items for 2009-2014 (pre-troubles). In short - I will bow to your better judgement.
Icewhiz (
talk) 13:24, 24 February 2017 (UTC)reply
If he has a lot of material pre-case then that can be used to balance out the article to avoid it being wholely negative and not
WP:NPOV. Depending on how it is written, the civil case and, maybe, the investigation can be dealt with. BLPCRIME is not always an absolute bar but it requires a strong consensus and delicate/conservative handeling of the issues which is why I suggested discussing it at
WP:BLPN. It might also be worthwhile to write separate articles about the case/investigation and funds (assuming they are notable per
WP:ILLCON.)

Calcalist,
Globes (incl. Globes English when available (spotty)),
TheMarker - these 3 are the leading Israeli economic papaers.
Forbes Israel - probably ranks beneath these three for local finance.
Yedioth Ahronoth - One of Israel's leading newspapers.
The Times of Israel - English coverage of Israel.
Haaretz English (TheMarker is affiliated with Haaretz - is an insert, so most finance stuff is there) - Israel's premier newspaper (roughly locally equivalent to NYT/WP).
Israel Securities Authority - public warning against Amir Bramly (mentioned in text several times) and Kela.
Israeli News Company - leading TV news in Israel.
Bloomberg - mainly for company/executing info. ICE - a media site that covers media affairs in Israel
Walla! - one of the leading Israeli news portals. Bizportal - Financial portal. Roughly locally equivalent to
MarketWatch in local significance. Net Acre - local Acre newspaper, insignificant - there for color on hometown.

Wikipedia:Orphan:

It is possible to source more, if needed, seeing he has over 1000 news items on google-news -
[25]. Due to his very high profile(pre-troubles), he is notable beyond his business troubles/ponzi.

Comment - Please take another look, as the issues causing nomination (tone + BLP policy + sources) were rectified post listing with a major-major rewrite (
Jbh- who made the initial PROD (on A7)- changed his vote to keep.
Adam9007 changed the initial PROD to AFD, but hasn't looked since.
John Pack Lambert - voted on the pre-rewrite stubbified version (and on that version his vote was correct - as it was missing sources that were mostly edited out)). This is a very high-profile individual in the Israeli business scene from before his troubles - and the alleged ponzi scheme and issue surrounding it (raising funds without a prospectus) have causes major ramifications with the local regulation/legislation regarding fund raising from the public. The current article (as opposed to the original) is very well sourced - over 60 sources from all major Israeli news outlets, covering a 10 year span. Some of these sources are in English (where possible - some of the local financial stuff is translated), the rest is in Hebrew.

huge number of references in the article, none of which does more than mention Over The Top in passing (in some cases there's not even a mention of the company's name). Several of the refs are different copies of the same text, which is not surprising if you look at the authors - a few people have written texts where they briefly quote the company's founder and have then sold the same text to different publishers. I'm sure it is good SEM tactics or whatever, but it doesn't make the company (nor its founder) notable for Wikipedia's purposes. --bonadeacontributionstalk 09:28, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) because this discussion is strictly about this article, not others. Now, as I've outlined above, the three problems with your article are A) the
General Notability Guideline does not appear to be met; B) the sources used in this article do not meet the requirement for Significant coverage in reliable, independent sources;and C) it has a promotional tone - "PR-speak" sticks out like a sore thumb.

Comment This software is nearly 17 years old, there should be at least few reviews (not only online).
NqcRz, your references are mostly about parent companies with only passing mentions (at best) of Eclispe ERP. If you could provide some reviews of this software (eg. in published magazines), it would help your cause. Many companies boast magazine awards/ratings for their software, maybe some of the previous owners had such list on its webpage, which we could use (with the help of web archives) in our hunt for better sources.

Keep. The article was absurdly promotional , but since it seems to have been a significant product, based on the market price of the company that made it, I decided to remove the promotionalism . Expecting a promotional author to learn to write a non-promotional article is usually unrealistic; if we are going o keep them, we need to revise them ourselves. DGG (

I'd agree with you if the promotional language was my only concern, but as I stated in the nomination rationale, the issue is that the GNG isn't met - there's no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, there's just press releases (which aren't independent, reliable sources), mentions in the websites of the various owners and articles about the company rather than the software product itself. The edits you've made have left all these unreliable sources in place, there's no third-party sources (and I've looked).

There is lots of coverage, I agree with that. But, most of it is of the

Many things (cough*Muslim ban*cough) deserve it, but asking the U.S. attorneys to resign at the beginning of the administration is not that.

There is a plenty of coverage, but that fact alone does not support notability of the article. The topic is banal and commonplace. It is worth a mention or two in the Trump article or in the DOJ article, etc. But an article all to itself is not justfied. Also, the name of the article speaks to the fact that it is not deserving of an article topic. The word "controversy" is not really used in the reliable sources. Why the use of the word "controversy" when the
Slate magazine article, not a hotbed of conservative thought, calls the whole thing much to do about nothing. It seems a bit like the title is a stretch to justify an article where no one exists. We can't name an article a controvesy when Slate specifically states that it is not a controversy and only the article creator really thinks it is a controversy. It needs to be either merged or moved or fully deleted, but kept as an article? No.--

Preet Bharara element. It's true that mass dismissals have happened in the past, but as the sources reflect, the specific context and timing of this one make it distinctive. (And, as pointed out above, an event does not need to be unprecedented to be notable). Alternatively — and this would require a lot more work but would be superior and better for the reader — I would suggest a merge/redirect into a future article on United States Department of Justice during the Trump administration, which could cover this and a lot more ground (marijuana policy, crime policy, the Sally Yates dismissal, etc.) without overwhelming another article.
Neutralitytalk 23:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep This has significant media coverage for the surprise of the announcements of the resignations of 46 US Attorneys at once, many were not expected to resign on Friday, and the firing of
Preet Bharara is significant in itself as he had been asked to stay on previously and has now been fired, similar to
Sally Yates, whose dismissal has its own Wikipedia article. Since Attorney General
Janet Reno did something similar in the past, perhaps the article should be moved to "

Keep. Per
WP:EVENT, this is notable because, "An event is presumed to be notable if it receives significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope." This clearly has widespread non-routine coverage and affects federal law enforcement throughout the United States. There is no requirement that an event be unprecedented (we have articles on every Super Bowl, and every presidential inauguration), although some parts of this do seem to be unprecedented. It just has to be notable. At least two aspects in particular are receiving non-routine coverage: 1. Preet Bharara was fired (he did not resign). 2. There are
earlier reports that he was previously asked to stay on. No strong preference on the title.

The only news worthy element of this routine event is Preet Bharara's refusal to resign like the other 44 and the 93 who resigned at Clinton's request.

Comment This event has inspired controversy, so it is controversial. However, I am not certain if it is sufficiently notable. (To put it another way, will the average well-informed American remember this in 12 months?) Usually the USAs are dismissed at the start of a new administration, but not usually in this fashion. The last 2 presidents did not repeat the mass purge that Janet Reno did at the start of the Clinton administration, but requested resignations as replacements were appointed. Some of these firings and resignations were under somewhat unusual circumstances. The situation with the Manhattan USA is somewhat unusual, but by itself that could be on his page rather than requiring its own page. I think someone may have slightly jumped the gun on posting this article, but that's debatable. I would not jump to deleting it so quickly, but if the turmoil turns out to be little more than it seems so far, then the information on this page can be added to other pages and the article deleted. If this controversy turns out to be bigger then the page is warranted. At the time that it first emerged, nobody thought that Whitewater would take 8 years to resolve.--

Great, thank you! I went ahead and marked two talk page discussions re: the word "controversy" as resolved. ---

Merge to wikinews, which is what stuff like this is meant for. If no consensus to get rid of this article, at least get rid of the "controversy" title which is not justified unless we are going to add it to every article title for a government action criticized by the opposition.

* Oops, I forgot that the AfD title wouldn't update. But if this incident does not clear the bar of being called a controversy, what's the point of a stand-alone article?

Keep I think that the people who are stating that it is not controversial really mean that it should not be controversial. In fact, it is getting significant press coverage and merits coverage here. However, getting rid of the word "controversy" in the title was a good move. History will determine what lasting effect, if any, it has.
Keep Removing the word "controversy" was helpful and should be done retroactively for the 2006 article and housekeeping done to assure that Wikilinks are preserved. Those earlier removals, in the middle of the second GWB term, seven on Pearl Harbor Day a decade ago, were extremely controversial and memorable, some clearly done with palpable and specific political motivations (i.e., to effect the illegal major suppression of voting rights, for instance, and in possible retaliation for the prosecutions of corrupt Republican officeholders such as the just recently released
Rick Renzi), and involved extensive congressional hearings and the arguably perjurious testimony by the sitting U.S. Attorney General,
Alberto Gonzales and DOJ officials
Bradley Schlozman and
Monica Goodling. Cleaning house in a more orderly fashion, but done largely for reasons of political patronage is radically different than simultaneous cashiering a notable number of such officeholders mainly effectuated to cover up actual or intended criminality, or involving intended black-letter DOJ policy violations. The firing of
David Iglesias,
Carol Lam,
Bud Cummins,
Todd Graves and
Paul Charlton, all Republicans, were particularly notable and sordid, yet most were given months to "clean out their desks."
Preet Bharara is not the only USAAG in the midst of important prosecutions, but i.e., so is the USAAG for the Southern District of Mississippi who is handling a wide ranging ongoing political corruption case, apparently with yet undisclosed indictments.

Comment I note that about 20 out of 30 editors support keeping the article at this point with no one opposed to dropping the word "controversy" from the title.

Keep for now The changing of the guard is normal, dismissal with immediate effect is absolutely unprecedented. Even Reno's resignation request order had a grace period (granted, one that not all elected to take). Wholesale removal of half of the US Attorneys is not exactly normal.

Keep – Satisfies
WP:GNG; made global headlines, was unprecedented in the approach that was taken. —
MelbourneStar☆talk
Keep. This is a well-sourced article about a notable topic. The bold change of title is welcome. Not all reporting of the event is sensational. Not-unprecedented isn't an argument: the fact it isn't unprecedented is covered in the article and anyway, because of the
Jeff Sessions Russia (controversy?) thing, significant actions of his are more like to attract "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (
WP:GNG).

Delete for now. Right now, this is news coverage. If it later proves to have enduring notability, then we could revisit.

Keep. I agree with the removal of the unnecessary word "controversy" from the title, and also with the suggestion to rename
Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy as
2006 dismissal of U.S. attorneys for disambiguation. This does not seem to be a routine action, at least not in the way it was done, so it is notable historically as well as by the extensive media coverage. It raises questions about the independence of U.S. attorneys (as do dismissals by earlier presidents on both sides of politics), which we cannot discuss as
WP:OR but could cite from secondary sources and academic publications.

This is not a "keep" consensus. I agree with Octoberwoodland below that it looks more like no consensus to delete. –

Comment - This Afd should be closed as "no consensus". From the current votes, it's clear the article should be kept for now.

Really? I'd say this is an overwhelming vote to keep the article, but I'll let a closing admin decide. ---

It should be a no consensus, which has the same effect as a keep, but this isn't overwhelming at all.

As I mentioned above, I anticipate renominating this for deletion in several months or a year, when the
WP:RECENTISM has faded. –

@
K.e.coffman: Regarding your
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, the 2006 U.S. Attorney firing was unprecedented. A new administration often (see Clinton, Bush, and Obama) cleans house of the USA's appointed by the last president. They don't do it in the middle of the administration because of politics. Also, the fact that many of these USA's are notable does not make their dismissal a notable event of its own, it means their bios can cover the content adequately. –

No real notability. There is one significant article in the Boston Globe but it is mainy a bit of colour about taking something local to New York fringe festival. Awards it was nominated for are not notable.
