Non-notable collection of short stories; after removing "references" (with explanations in edit summary) which were not reliable or independent sources, no references were left to speak of. The article author, Taniya94, has also defended a hardly notable short story by an author who has a book coming up with the publisher of the subject of this nomination; and a draft of an article about another book from this publisher, with refs mostly taken from the Facebook of the publisher and the author, is currently in the works. This same user appears to be knowledgeable about the parent company of the publisher, which is strange for a regular fan of films and books that she on the surface appears to be. Note that the draft mentioned above is of a book that comes out tomorrow (Indian timezone), so it's weirdly timed if we are talking about a random fan, but speaks to the excellent project execution skills if we are talking about someone who is on the launch team. This raises concerns about whether there is a conflict of interest here. Funny that the user also claims that she "created more than 50 articles and always tried to write it in a neutral point of view, never intended to promote someone or something". I'm saying we should probably start taking defenses of obviously non-notable products by this person with a grain of salt. –– Latreia ( talk) 22:31, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

UPD: I've determined that the article author (Taniya94) runs a small sockpuppet ring. Evidence to be found here. Not her fault, most probably, just her job, and I've probably gotten her in trouble, right before a major release. Sorry. –– Latreia ( talk) 23:00, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - There references that were in the article as of this version are what is stated by the nominator. It's a mixed bag of unreliable sources such as blogs, or directory listings or references that don't even mention the subject and confirm nothing.

There are several of these kinds of pages that are formed as a series. They were all created by User:Dallyripple who split them off from the main article, Imperial election. All of these articles have the section Election of X (year), followed by a the subsections Electors and Elected. However, this series of articles does not seem to meet the WP:N criterion. Firstly, the topics of this article series are too trivial (and don't seem to have WP:RS due to that). This information has been contained in the Imperial election article ever since it was created by User:RandomCritic so it may also be WP:OR. - KAP03( Talk • Contributions • Email) 20:55, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep but Trout Dailyripple for creating these pages without any references. The topics are likely notable, and the wikilinks are reference enough to keep the pages until they can be improved. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 05:57, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Comment the name "Imperial election" is perfectly clear to me, but only because I've played Europa Universalis IV too much. I would support a rename proposal to include some version of "Holy Roman Empire" in the article titles. power~enwiki ( π, ν)
  • I agree with Icewhiz that new structure is better. It's probably should be linked to Imperial election, but independent article for each election allows more information to be added. All these elections in one article make it unreadable. Arthistorian1977 ( talk) 14:02, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • I stand by my pithy !vote above: this might be the worst AfD nomination I have ever seen on Wikipedia, so I don't think it deserves more comment on the substance that that. Just responding to DrKay: I think this format is better. Its what we follow for papal conclaves, and the overwhelming majority of them almost as horrible as these articles. Its a good format because it allows others to improve them more easily than if they were in a larger article (its how I started improving the conclave series). TonyBallioni ( talk) 14:55, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ TonyBallioni I totally agree here. Is there another forum that people might use if they have problems with a page? It seems like people are impatient to use a talk page on the topic and so think the only option to get anyone talking about a page is to submit things for deletion. Is there any accountability process for users who abuse this process? Egaoblai ( talk) 21:49, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Keep. AfD is the wrong forum - this is really a question of whether to merge back into Imperial election from where these were all removed (cut and paste). I think the new organization is better - citations should be improved in the sub-articles as well as in Imperial election. I think Dailyripple should've posted on the parent article's talk-page prior to branching all of these off, and should've added references. Icewhiz ( talk) 07:35, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, discuss on the talk page. Both the previous structure (all in one page) and the current structure (lots of pages) are possible models for the organisation of this content. At the very least, the page titles need to exist as redirects (perfectly valid link targets). The idea that there could be a problem with WP:N or WP:RS is fairly laughable. — Kusma ( t· c) 10:28, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep all Election of a Holy Roman emperor can't be not notable event. Articles will need improvement and references, but no doubt it's a notable event in history. For a while they all can be tagged as stub. Arthistorian1977 ( talk) 13:51, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, similarly notable events as papal elections. -- Norden1990 ( talk) 08:23, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The election of the Holy Roman Emperor was a major event in Europe and often influenced other events. The 1519 election for example had major influence on relations between European states including the power struggles between Charles V and France. It also had an impact on the Reformation as Charles V's handling of Luther was shaped by the fact he did not want to alienate the Elector of Saxony. However, I agree the articles as they stand need work. Dunarc ( talk) 19:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Agree with all above. The idea that the election of a Holy Roman Emperor could somehow be non-notable is ludicrous. These were major, world-altering events. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 23:04, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - as a series of notable, referenced events. The pages do need improvement, and ideally wouldn't be vaguely named "Imperial election" but rather something closer to what they were. "Holy Roman Emperor election"? -- Ajraddatz ( talk) 08:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per above clearly notable events . Pharaoh of the Wizards ( talk) 06:13, 26 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- These are all substantive articles. Some of the elections had foregone conclusions, but they were nevertheless important events. At CFD, there has been a question over the limited amount of content in earlier periods. Here is some of that content. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:53, 26 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per WP:NCRIME If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable - the outcome of the investigation/trial (sane/insane, hate/no-hate, etc.) - has little to do with notability. What makes an event notable - is coverage. In this case - we have copious coverage from around the 2014 event itself (in top-notch sources - including NYT for instance). We also have WP:LASTING coverage various news outlets - [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Books - [10] [11] [12]. Icewhiz ( talk) 21:11, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    Not that it should be relevant to the outcome, but per ABC news in Oct 2016 - [13] The driver of the SUV, Ahmed H. Aden, 34, a Somali Christian truck driver, later pleaded guilty to murder. - nom is incorrect in stating insanity and Muslim faith of the attack. Icewhiz ( talk) 21:14, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    His Muslim faith is claimed by his mother and I think that is reliable and mentioned in multiple sources. Aden's mother, Hawo Abdullahi of Minneapolis, said her son also was Muslim and, like the victim, was Somali. [14], [15] , [16] Aden's mother, Hawo Abdullahi of Minneapolis, said through an interpreter that her Somali son is Muslim [17], [18] I am not well versed with Wikipedia policies as I am new but an ordinary murder is not notable thousands of such murders including those mentioned in leading newspapers daily and which are covered in the media. Girdlast888 ( talk) 23:12, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    His mother apparently said this close to the incident. Later sources dot repeat this claim. People can convert. In any event the perp's faith is irrelevant to notability. Icewhiz ( talk) 04:57, 23 November 2017 (UTC) Note - the mother of a suspect is usually not considered a RS, and is typically viewed as highly biased in favor of the suspect. Icewhiz ( talk) 06:33, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Icewhiz I have no comment on notability yet but please do not try to use namedrops and passing mentions as proof of "lasting coverage". Literally, all those sources briefly mention the incident and are about another more notable subject or incident. Of course, there was coverage soon after the killing -- that fits nicely into WP:NOTNEWS. Regardless, I am sure this article will be kept because enough editors will take your listing here at face value rather than actually evaluate their lack of depth. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 01:31, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This case does not seem to pass our notability guidelines. It is not even clear if it was a hate crime. If it was, one should think about creating a more general page, i.e. Anti-Muslim violence in the United states. That might be valid page. My very best wishes ( talk) 18:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete Considering that the claims that the perpetrator of the crime was Muslim and not Chrisitan according to his own family members, most of the categorizing is flawed, and reflects the fact this was a rushed to assumption news story advanced to back a particular narrative, one that proved false and we should not continue to advance in a reliable encyclopedia. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:18, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Sorry but the misleading "coverage" listed here, as well as the immediate and short-lived news surrounding this subject does not convince me. The notability criteria for events specifies that reports -- even if they are widespread -- on their own are not enough to establish notability. Historical and/or societal significance are indicators. Some editors may argue that those cannot be established with a recent news event and I can argue that the article shouldn't be created in the first place if notability is that questionable. I wish the criteria for events could be applied more accurately for terrorism-related AFDs but for now I will worry about this individual incident and hope editors come to the proper conclusion.

*Delete I came back to source, expand the brief, confusing article, and found that a more careful look at sources changed my opinion. After the brief flurry of coverage caused by the impression that a murder-by-vehicle-ramming by a perp with anti-Islam bumper-stickers on his vehicle who deliberately ran over Muslim must be an anti-Muslim hate crime, there really has been very little coverage. Presumably because it turned out not to be a hate crime. Fails WP:NCRIME. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 00:38, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply

*Floating an idea Clearly, the brief flurry of coverage was generated by the assumption that this was a hate crime. We seem to run this drill a lot. For example, we have Killing of Nabra Hassanen. They cannot be merged to our List of Islamophobic incidents. Which makes me wonder whether we could use a List of crimes initially mistaken for hate crimes. Not merely as a redirect target, but because these allegations tend to resurface, so providing a few facts about incidents that have attracted media attention before turning out not to be hate crimes might be useful. opinions?

Notability concerns. The only references are database-like entries at GameFAQ, and a very bizarre Youtube video. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 18:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I'm gonna start a discussion at Village pump soon, to make it so that all video games that were officially released on a console are notable for their own articles. Okay, so I get the concern for "non-notability" that the content is not verifiable. But I don't care how many references you have; the fact that Santa Claus Saves the Earth is a video game for the GBA and PS1 IS true and will forever be true. The name of the game will never change, and the gameplay will always be the same. Console games are constant, never-changing, and absolute. They should be treated like geographical locations.

I don't think there's a rule that all console games are notable, and I don't think there should be. I also don't think a Vice article that says when people occasionally make lists of "holiday video games" this somehow ends up being included, simply for the lack of options. and only describes game as thoroughly broken and cheaply produced suggests that it's notable. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 18:44, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
That suggestion would be a massive violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Wikipedia isn't a listing of all console games, just like it's not a listing of all PC games. If you want that, go to Mobygames. You are misunderstanding the purpose of Wikipedia. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:22, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Look more closely. I saw SIX news sources that mention the game. The game can't be unnotable by Wikipedia's current standards. It'd have to be a huge coincidence:

You people are serious? This is a GAME! A GAME! And not only is it a game, but it's also a console game, a notoriously bad game (yes it is!), it was reviewed by Caddicarus who's like somewhere next to AVGN in fame, 6 news sources, and it's not even a franchise game like most bad games. It's an ORIGINAL pile of shit, and not just a pile of shit named after a TV show. Yes, it needs a Wikipedia article. Think about how much more useful it would be to have this article than to delete it. Philmonte101 😊😄😞 ( talk) 19:26, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
An article is either notable or it isn't, there's no sliding scale that says an unimportant, cool, original, or whatever you think the article is makes it get a free pass. You should read the WP:GNG and get an idea of what is allowed on Wikipedia or not. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 19:30, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

While the game was mentioned in these articles, it's not covered significantly "'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.

Despite the article's (unsourced) claims of the subject having played senior football, I can find no evidence to back this up from statistical sources such as Soccerbase and Neil Brown. Therefore he fails WP:NFOOTY as he hasn't played or managed in a fully professional league, and WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in reliable sources.

@ Walter Görlitz: the first source you mention is about a small college festival which happens to share a name with the band. The only musicians mentioned are "singer-songwriter Mohit Chauhan, folk fusion band Lagori and an EDM party with top DJs", and the similarity in name appears to be coincidence. The second source is about the singer and only mentions the band as a project with which he used to be involved - so would fail WP:INHERITED even if he had his own Wikipedia article as a solo artiste. ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 09:31, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Delete. Per 1st nomination, the main argument for keep was based this subject having a track appear for one week at #48 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. It is not an important source for gauging a recording’s accomplishment. The chart exists primarily for the benefit of retailer’s to track new or previously unsuccessful artists and their relative position to actually charting on Billboard’s top 100, based on sales or airplay. As low of a placement as #48 is not much of an accomplishment; it could simply reflect pre-orders, and when such a release disappears after one week, that is usually the case. (FWIW, Walter Görlitz ( talk), it’s doesn’t even translate into #148, as there may be non-qualifying “heatseeking” artist in the top 200 who chart higher.) In fact, #48 is so dubious in importance that in the years since this subject’s appearance, Billboard has stopped tracking anything beyond #25. Otherwise, my google search finds the subject covered in minor music media and blogs, trivial promotional, but nothing significant that distinguishes the band from run-of-the-mill existence.

Near-certain autobiography with some sockpuppetry concerns. SCOPUS gives an h-index of 1, which is an abject fail of WP:PROF.

  • Delete. He's written quite a few books, including (the article says) five academic books, but although they exist they seem to have vanished into the academic void, with zero reviews. Which is very weird, for an academic book, and a sign that he isn't having much impact. Regardless, we don't have evidence for WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR, and without evidence we can't keep the article. — David Eppstein ( talk) 18:42, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Academic publishing is moving to a different platform in which publishers use subscription-based download services, such as SpringerLink. If you look at Taillard's books based on downloads, you'll see even his earliest books are still getting consistent attention. This is a service you can use to confirm that. [1]
You can also use Academia.com to note that his name has been specifically referenced in 551 papers: [2]
It is also worth noting that the importance of the work he's done is attracting the attention of various podcasts, from people who find his work extremely important: [3]
It is without doubt that he is a professor, as he works at Central Michigan University, and has contributed more greatly to academia than most professors through his writings. [4]

References

Xxanthippe 281 WorldCat entries [1] plus 551 papers referencing BLP through Academia.edu is pretty significant, but not huge. Other editors and administrators have referred to the BLP as being right on the edge of notability. It seems prudent to leave the page intact, since any future works can only further increase notability, rather than decrease it. BullMooseRevival ( talk) 23:37, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I agree with David Eppstein's assessment that we don't have the evidence for WP:AUTHOR or WP:PROF. Download counts are not an indication of influence, nor should they be. Time and time again, I've been researching some obscure point and downloaded a dozen papers in the process, none of which had what I needed. There's no way to tell how many of the downloaded copies were discarded immediately after (nor how many hits were from automated scraping, etc.). XOR'easter ( talk) 01:56, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep As per WP:AUTHOR, criteria states that "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." Taillard has written works that are considered revolutionary to military strategy. This is evidenced by the books Economics and Modern Warfare (plus the coming 2nd edition), Psychology and Modern Warfare, and Analytics and Modern Warfare. There are also citations present in the BLP that provide irrefutable evidence of being invited to speak on this matter at universities (specifically, Madonna University), and on podcasts. Within an interview in the award winning movie Dead Man Working, as well as the books themselves, it is confirmed that he was a consultant on these same topics with US Strategic Command as the invitation of Vice Admiral Cecil Haney in 2011, and in Washington DC at the Chief of Staff of the Army's Strategic Studies Group at the invitation of Colonel Edmund Degen. The National Writer's Series is publishing an author's profile based on these books on Dec. 01, 2017. This all demonstrates a range of very significant influence in the field of strategic studies that range across the academic, military, and literary industries for which there has been ongoing recognition for the last 7 years. As per Academia.edu, his works have been cited 551 times in scholarly papers, and they are read significantly more frequently than books of similar topics according to BookMetrix. That is solid proof of WP:AUTHOR for the developments of new concepts and theories in the field of strategic studies. If anything, the biggest violation in the Wikipedia page is that it fails to give proper emphasis to his contributions to this field of work. Reorganizing the article a bit to focus on his contributions and work in strategic studies would help give the article a more appropriate scope. He was working with top US military officers across the nation to develop new methods of strategy, and then wrote three books about it which are popular enough that the publisher is starting with 2nd editions, and has spoken to universities, podcasts, and authors' groups. If that doesn't make someone notable within the field of strategic studies, nothing does - this guy is at the top of the field within a somewhat niche but very important area of expertise. That most definitely fits the criteria for a notable author as per Wikipedia guidelines. That is irrefutable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BullMooseRevival ( talkcontribs) 06:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The publishers he has worked with includes some of the most influential names in the industry. Wiley, Springer, Macmillan are all very selective and distinguished.

    • The mere existence of a book, or of any other scholarly publication, is not itself evidence of notability, even if the work was published by a reputable publisher. WP:PROF#C1 states, "Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1." Moreover, any claim that a "person has pioneered or developed a significant new concept" must be supported "by a substantial number of references to academic publications of researchers other than the person in question" which establish that the new concept is indeed significant. Pointing back to the books themselves, as this article repeatedly does, is not sufficient. Moreover, these secondary sources must themselves be reliable, which rules out the vast majority of podcasts, blogs, social media posts, etc. XOR'easter ( talk) 02:21, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

      • And you'll find a lot of neurologists in Ann Arbor who are associated with University of Michigan, a lot of editors in New York who work for major publishers and their imprints, and a lot of computer programmers along the US West Coast. Your big revelation is that specific industries and career-types tend to cluster geographically? Congrats, you just discovered a concept called economies of agglomeration, which has been around since at least the ancient civilizations.

  • Delete. Could not find enough to establish notability under WP:PROF. Does not seem to pass WP:BIO either.-- Eric Yurken ( talk) 21:31, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Eric Yurken:@ David Eppstein:@ XOR'easter: A lot of the confusion seems to be stemming from the way the article was written. There's far too much emphasis on points for which the person is not notable and not enough emphasis given to why the person is notable. Let me explain. Notability is established under WP:AUTHOR as described in previous comments. The works fall directly under the direct criteria, "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." The work has been of consistent interest to military, university, and public audiences for 7 years, and continues to be of interest. Strategic studies is a niche topic, but Taillard is clearly notable within it, as previously demonstrated. In addition, as someone pointed-out, nobody actually cites a Dummies book because they offer intro material that is generally not acceptable for academic citations, but everyone has heard of Corporate Finance for Dummies because it's in universities around the world. That being said, I would agree that the article fails to emphasize the reason for author notability. Instead of deleting it entirely, it seems prudent to rewrite it to narrow the scope of its content. The entire section on political views could be deleted, and the subsection on military reformation given its own section and expanded to include more details on that matter. Discussions on being a professor should be more of a side-note than a feature, and more details offered on his role in the development of his professional field. Early life could be deleted, although educational history might be prudent to the article. Would you agree that this makes sense? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 00:00, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Note. The subject has been very productive as of late; but notability is based on recognition, which usually takes some time. The article was created too early. He could become notable in the future; in fact, this may be likely. But not yet.-- Eric Yurken ( talk) 16:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Eric Yurken: And, as demonstrated by citations to BookMetrix, Worldcat, and Academia.edu, Taillard is at the forefront of literature in that field due to his contributions of entirely new theory. That is the definition of notability under a clause of WP:AUTHOR. The fact that these contributions are sought by military and academia proves applied demand due to these books. There is nothing too early about this - it has already reached top military brass, including an appearance to the Naval War College in Rhode Island next month. Now, the only ones providing actual citations, referencing specific Wiki policy, or offering logic beyond "I disapprove" have been those saying keep the article. Unless you can offer a more substantial argument, then those who want the page deleted are merely relying on a majority vote, which it has already been stated does not matter. Can anyone offer a quality reason to delete this page other than not liking it? As of now, all empirical evidence supports keeping it under WP:AUTHOR. Simply disliking that fact is not grounds for deletion according to Wiki policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.30.9 ( talkcontribs) 97.91.30.9 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
@ Xxanthippe: We both specialized in similar fields, but we're not friends or anything.

@ Xxanthippe: No problem. In light of the evidence that the subject of the LPB is purchased and read more frequently than other books in the same field, does this change your mind on the matter? Based on your own criteria of citations, 551 may not compared to legendary names like Adam Smith, but neither is it insignificant. The article was written very generically, and it seems like a rewrite would be the appropriate course of action, rather than deletion. Would you agree? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 17:22, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom, failing WP:PROF. This is one of the many articles that was made without having enough knowledge about reliable sources. Some sources like Economics and Modern Warfare: The Invisible Fist of the Market are created by the subject. And number of other sources [22] are just unreliable. Excelse ( talk) 07:19, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I agree with the comments of BullMooseRevival. I agree that the article needs a rewrite. I would post a 'reads like a CV' template on it. But I think the distinction between citations and downloads (one being good and useful, the other being worthless) is wrongheaded. The question is whether people are using his material, which, clearly, they are. I agree that he qualifies for Academic Person as a leader in his field. The extensive commentary showing that the Subject, in the commentator's view, doess not meet the Criterion C1, may be true, but may also be the fault of the editors of the article, who don't know about the guidelines for notability of academics, and therefore do not frame their content appropriately. But there are eight other Criteria, and also the statement " Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable." Commentators may well be raising the bar far too high. Again, I think the article needs a template or two to encourage better style and better documentation, with attention to WP:NPROF. -- Vicedomino ( talk) 07:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply

    • "There are eight other criteria", true. But he fails all of them. — David Eppstein ( talk) 19:10, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Notability is established under WP:AUTHOR. The works fall directly under 2 criteria: 1: "The person is regarded as an important figure" and 2: "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." As previously noted, people are buying, reading, and requesting more of the same content because of this. This, in fact, establishes notability under WP:NPROF under criteria 7, "7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." Ample citations have been provided of this. The failure in the article is that it was poorly designed and written, something which a group of experienced editors should be able to resolve quite easily. In fact, there was even mention of templates? That is the point, right? To improve articles instead of spending endless days judging whether they should be deleted based upon their original form? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 19:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
BullMooseRevival, you keep saying that "the person is regarded as important figure" is proven by people reading/buying his stuff, but this is a very weak argument. The way Wikipedia works, is that we summarize what reliable sources say. That is the epistemology of this place, and the way the dilemma of there being no named authors is resolved (authors of content are not authoritative; sources are authoritative. If there were say a NYT profile, a WSJ profile, an Economist profile, all saying how important he is, it would be unlikely that this article would have been nominated for deletion. This whole piece is trying to sell, sell SELL how important he is, and by trying so hard it fails to be encyclopedic. You are fairly new here and it is clear that you don't understand this stuff yet. What I suggest is that you agree to draftify this article, and tone it down, use more high quality secondary sources that are about him (not by him), and then put it through WP:AFC. What do you think about that? Jytdog ( talk) 20:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
To be totally honest, I was hoping an editor with more experience might help with editing. It sounds like you agree that rewriting the article is the best course of action. I've asked two very experienced editors to assist in that process in lieu of taking the page down. Once the article is less generic and really just focuses more on the significant contributions the LPB subject has made, then there shouldn't be any question. On the page there are citations to sources which demonstrate he has been invited to speak at universities, conferences, military agencies, podcasts, and writer's groups on his specific areas of contribution, and that his books are popular enough that the publishers are now doing 2nd editions. That definitely demonstrates "significant impact" based on "originating a significant new theory", which inherently makes him "an important figure." Ok, for the sake of argument, you disagree with "important figure", there are still 2 other criteria which fits perfectly. You mentioned news sources of global distribution - The Economist does profiles on people like Kofi Annan, Bloomberg does profiles on people like Donald Trump, so if you are setting the bar at "World Leaders" as your judgment of notability, you may as well delete 99% of the people on Wikipedia right now. Instead, let's take the sensible path and fix-up the article so that it is more in-line with other people who are notable yet not so notable that they decide world affairs at the United Nations. BullMooseRevival ( talk) 21:04, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
It does not sound to me like Jytdog thinks the article should be kept and rewritten. It sounds like he thinks the article should be taken down unless/until someone with a better understanding of how notability works on Wikipedia rewrites it based on independent reliable sources. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ David Eppstein: So, we are in agreement that the problem is not one of notability? That the problem is the article needs to be rewritten? Regardless of whether you would take the article down first or not, the issue at hand is that the article was poorly designed in its original incarnation? Are you also in agreement with this assessment of the current state of things?
BullMooseRevival, You have repeated yourself. I heard you the first few times you said this stuff. Please hear me (and everybody else) when we say that we are hearing your argument and it is not a good one, here in Wikipedia.
This article will very likely be deleted if this discussion continues. You can save yourself and everybody else trouble if you will consent to moving this out of "mainspace" (the Wikipedia that everyone reads) and into "draft space" (that is what "draftifying" means -- unpublishing it, but keeping it as a working draft elsewhere in Wikipedia -- it would be at Draft:Michael Taillard), to remove the hard selling and if there are independent sources that establish the stuff you are saying about him, rewrite this article based on those sources. And once it is done, submit the draft for review by independent editors (that is what happens in the "articles for creation" process), after which it would be published. This page in anything like its current form should not be published in Wikipedia. There is too much "selling". Will you agree to this? Jytdog ( talk) 22:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
As you said, I am relatively new. I've only made basic contributions and have learned the "code" by watching others use it. So, when I say I cannot agree to that, I am not being argumentative, I literally mean I cannot agree because I don't really know what you're talking about. Seriously, I've made contributions to existing pages for years with no problem, but it wasn't until attempting to make a new page that I learned just how complicated Wikipedia can be. That's really my biggest concern with your suggestion - the page will be "draftified" and then I won't know what to do from there and the whole thing will just get lost in the shuffle. That's the biggest reason I wanted to leave the page available while it gets worked-on, because at least then I still know what I'm doing. Doing it your way delves into territory I'm not familiar with. Is there some middle ground we can find in which a bit of assistance is offered to walk through this? To be quite honest, I'd really like to see someone experienced work on the page so I can see what they're doing and learn from it and become a better editor, myself. What do you think? Is there somewhat we can do it your way but get some kind of assistance? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 00:01, 28 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Agreed that the page is likely to be deleted. Draftify may not be an answer, because if a draft if left for too long without being edited it may be deleted. Wikipedia does not provide a cloud storage service. The creator might do better to copy the source code onto his own computer where it can be worked on securely. Xxanthippe ( talk) 00:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC). reply
Beg to differ. What I see so far is NO consensus. There is a disagreement as to whether a criterion has been met.

  • @ Kwamevaughan: Notability is a property of the subject rather than article itself, so no amount of editing will make him notable. That's why I find it better (less bitey) to settle the matter quickly – rather than have you waste your time on something that isn't a viable encyclopaedic subject. If Assah is notable then we can keep the article, but you will have to show that he has been written about in detail (not just passing mentions) by multiple reliable sources that have no connection to him. I haven't been able to find any evidence of that.

While a Google search on Ron Dwight shows that this person definitely existed, I can find no coverage in any reliable sources, even in the computing press where you'd expect at the very least a few obituaries. If he'd written WinRAR he'd have a case for notability-by-association, but it's fairly clear that he was just someone who owned the distribution rights in some territories, not the actual developer. None of the three sources are remotely appropriate for use in Wikipedia, and the ELs are either broken or to unreliable websites so can't take their place.  ‑  Iridescent 17:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, a little reluctantly, and presumably salt, given the history of this article. The Guardian article doesn't compare Henshaw to Al Green, Smokey Robinson, etc. – what it says is that Henshaw's style of singing reminds you that those artists didn't sing at the top of their lungs either... which isn't the same as comparing him to them. The LinkedIn references look interesting, until you realise it was more a case of Henshaw enterprisingly using LinkedIn to promote himself, rather than the company actively asking him to take part in an advertisement. Lots of references to prove he played gigs and festivals – well, he's a musician, that's his job, it doesn't make him any more notable than the hundreds of musicians gigging up and down the country. So the only notable sources are that he won an NME Breakthrough award and opened at the Lovebox festival in London, and that The Guardian profiled him – although it must be said that the newspaper's "new band of the week" spot wasn't exactly an exclusive club... Henshaw was no. 871 in a series of God-knows-how-many.
What's changed since 2015 is that in May 2016 Henshaw self-released another four-track EP. And what worries me now is that since that EP 18 months ago, there's been no sign of him – no updates to his official web page or social media (his Twitter account since then has simply been retweets), no news of new recordings or gigs... it appears that Henshaw has given up making music again, and that the Lovebox appearance may well be the highlight of his solo career. Which is a shame, but if that's the case, he doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Richard3120 ( talk) 18:45, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and salt as above, doesn't pass our music guidelines any more now than in 2010 or 2013 etc. Clearly his apex was putting in an appearance at the Lovebox 2010 festival, which does sound impressive at a glance, but note that according to the offical site there were over 200 acts that year and Henshaw didn't even warrant a mention on the poster, not even in the tiny print. In any case, 7 years later nothing came of it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:52, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete if you remove the namedropping that dominated the lead you'll be left with one (interview) sources that merely confirms he's musician. Refs 7,8, and 9 reported about festivals per set, with passing mention. Likewise the remaining refs about tour here and there and self relating EPs. All these and lack of corroborating new sources shows he clearly fails WP:MUSICBIO and lacks the significant coverage enough to meet WP:GNG. Perhaps in the future.  —  Ammarpad ( talk) 09:53, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Note Please do keep in mind that even major media outlets in Albania are not represented in google news or other related search engines. As such, it would be biased to be based on them for understanding the notability of Albanian notable persons. Gezimmemishaj ( talk) 10:13, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply
All BLP articles have to be sourced, I am not basing my deletion nomination solely on the lack of sources but as a national archive director it is unlikely that there will be in-depth coverage of this person. This is not the sort of public position that generates much coverage in any country that would go towards proving notability. So unless there are sources that prove his notability now then I don't believe that it is worth keeping the article in the hope that some will be found. Domdeparis ( talk) 10:25, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply
I saw that David Ferriero and Jeff James (public servant) notability comes precisely from their archives managing role. Both articles are less sourced than this one. And as I searched in google there are plenty of news articles regarding him probably every week. But, whatever, I do not care as it seems to be a bias against Albanians who are only notable in Albania (some days ago a page i created for the rector of the biggest university in albania was attacked for the same reasoning). The sources are plenty for this article so it is a string keep for me. Gezimmemishaj ( talk) 11:12, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I agree with you about James and please feel free to nominate for deletion if you wish but Ferriero is a heavily sourced article and shows notability as per GNG. Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as this is not a valid argument to use in a deletion debate. There is no bias against Albanians or any other nationality especially from my part. Please try and read WP:AGF and do not accuse me of bias without proof as this is a personal attack Domdeparis ( talk) 11:59, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Its not a personal attack. It is a bias of English Wikipedia against persons notable in countries where English is not spoken. The articles in Albanian are a depth coverage of his activities. The same as the rector that I wrote above. The fact that there is nothing in English does mean nothing. Gezimmemishaj ( talk) 16:16, 8 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • KEEP It is worthy to expand the article, and I added some material and plan to add more.

  • Hello Batternut, hope you're doing well. I noticed that Greater Johannesburg is officially defined and delineated by the South African Government. [27] [28] It has clearly defined TLC/TRC and district council codes. This seems a Keep to me per WP:GEOLAND, being a legally defined place. Perhaps you might not have seen these government sources; would you be able to consider withdrawing your nomination if these sources satisfy you? Warmly, Lourdes 03:59, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • comment - thanks Lourdes for an interesting point: that "Greater Johannesburg" was a definition used only in the 1996 census, and by the transitional Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council (GJMC) during its brief existence from 1995 to 2000 (see Johannesburg#Government). If its notability rests on that definition it cannot be correct for the article to actually be about a different area, encompassing East Rand and West Rand. I would agree to a re-purposing the article to the 1996-2000 definition. The citation problem the article currently has could then be dealt with. Batternut ( talk) 12:15, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Batternut, thanks for the reply. I'm not an expert in the geography of South Africa. While you're mentioning that this definition was used only in the 1996 census, I have seen government links like this which refer to the Greater Johannesburg area as recent as August 2017. But I'll go by what you're saying, as long as you use reliable sourcing within the article. You can reposition the contents of the article to correctly represent what Greater Johannesburg encompassed (or encompasses). As the area has been recognized by the government, notability is established per WP:GEOLAND. I'll leave it to your discretion to modify the contents as such. If you would wish to consider withdrawing your nomination, then it would be good if you could leave a note at the top of this discussion for the closing editor. Warmly, Lourdes 14:02, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Batternut, I'm not clear how my sources could make you reach the conclusion you are mentioning. If you could provide any reliable source that supports your inference, I'll be open to changing my view. The Department of Water Affairs, Republic of South Africa's 2011 report on water certification mentions Greater Johannesburg is a part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (see page 17 of their 2011 report). A plain reading perhaps would suggest that the Municipality you suggest is much larger than the Greater Johannesburg area, but not the same. Like I said, if you have any sources that clearly show that these both are the same, then I'll change my !vote. Therefore, in my opinion, there are three options here for consideration:
  1. We keep the article titled Greater Johannesburg and stick to exactly what the government and other reliable sources mention about Greater Johannesburg.
  2. We keep the article but rename it to the "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area". (The article says Greater Johannesburg is also knowns as "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area". There are innumerable recent reliable sources mentioning this area. For example, this government paper defining the area's provincial spatial development framework says, "[...] the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area [is] (the industrial heartland of South Africa, including Tshwane and the City of Johannesburg)". This book says, "Witwatersrand also denotes the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area, which spans the length of the gold-bearing reef.").
  3. We redirect the article to your target, if you can provide sources that clarify that these two areas are the same.
If you can provide the sources, that would be wonderful; else, we stick to the first two options. Warmly, Lourdes 03:31, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Sorry for the delay - I'd love to find some output from the 1996 census online, but have so far failed. The conterminous region theory stems particularly from "Final-term report" (PDF). City of Johannesburg. 12 January 2007. p. 22, ch 1. (a citation I put into Johannesburg#Government recently). Page 22 describes absorbing the MLCs plus Midrand Modderfontein, but Kempton Park confuses me, it might have been split up, I've seen it mentioned in both Joburg and East Rand. Btw the book Lourdes mentioned cites Wikipedia so must be discounted. I'll get back here again very soon. Batternut ( talk) 15:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • option 1 - the 1996 census TLC (Transitory Local Council) list provides a difficult snapshot to work with - it defined "Greater Johannesburg" in terms of the transitory MLC's that existed for only 5 years. Most government and other RS is about the "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area"/"Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council", which does provide some maps. The current City of Johannesburg MM is clearly a reforming of the GJMC with some boundary changes - indeed changes that take it closer to the 1996 TLC list, though not precisely. Other mostly non-official sources though have used the term "Greater Johannesburg" meaning the Rand / the Reef / Witwatersrand (in its widest sense).
  • option 2 - actually relatively few official mentions of "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area", only 16 for site:gov.za, compared with Durban about 65 or Cape Town about 641. All of the gov.za results I have seen are tangential, non-defining.
  • option 3 - the 1996 Census TLC list suggests some differences between the definition then and the current City of Jo'burg municipality. However, civic boundaries often vary over time without wikipedia having new articles for each version.
I think what this period saw was a slow-motion concretisation of definition of a new and wider metro to replace the old apartheid city. I see this five year period as the history of the birth of the current City of Johannesburg MM. Building a separate article (options 1) on "Greater Johannesburg" will amount largely to a summary of the history of current City of Johannesburg MM, probably with the addition of a selection of non-official interpretations along the lines of the wider Witwatersrand / PWV / most of Gauteng meanings, amounting to a rather unsatisfactory disambiguation page.
Btw, I think it would be best keep just a passing reference to GJMC in Johannesburg#Government, moving most GJMC stuff to City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality#History or possibly History of Johannesburg. Batternut ( talk) 12:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Ok. I appreciate the time you've taken to analyze and research. Unfortunately, unless you are able to find reliable sources supporting the interpretations you're giving, these inferences should not be included on Wikipedia. You say: "All of the gov.za results I have seen are tangential, non-defining." The sources I've given above define the area of Greater Johannesburg precisely, providing district and region information. Your inference perhaps is also that the number of government sources mentioning "Greater Johannesburg" is less than the number of sources mentioning other areas. That's not a critical parameter; as long as multiple sources do legally define the area, which in this case they do. I respect your opinions above, but as there are no sources to support your interpretations, I would finally prefer sticking to the first two options I have provided above. Thanks again for the effort taken out in this discussion. It has been a learning experience. I hope to work with you on other articles too. Warmly, Lourdes 13:03, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Let us look closely at the sources you have provided:
  • 1996 census TLC, DCcodes - a list transitional councils disbanded 4 years later.
  • this (SARS contacts) - non-defining, but Lists Greater Johannesburg area amongst other areas Gauteng South; East Rand; West Rand and Gauteng north (including Centurion and Pretoria), therefore pretty well constrains Greater Johannesburg to a space the shape of City of Johannesburg MM (OR of course).
  • DWA 2011 report - non-defining, though the one mention, "Greater Johannesburg : City of Johannesburg MM" on p18, merely suggestive of a relationship;
  • SPISYS - one mention, "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area (the industrial heartland of South Africa, including Tshwane and the City of Johannesburg" hardly defining, and actually written by the "Dennis Moss Partnership", conflicts flatly with the others
  • This book - says "by Quelle Wikipedia", therefore cyclic ref, must ignore.
The TLC list is the only RS with any precision (so far...). As mentioned, definitions that were dropped by the next census. Do we really want a "Greater Johannesburg" article nailed to a transitional snapshot of boundaries used in 1996? Cities always change over time. Batternut ( talk) 15:15, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Cities may change over time but I took the time to go through Google Scholar and Google News sources. I realized that there are many academic and news reports post year 1998-99 that continue to refer to "Greater Johannesburg". [29] For example, this publication of LSE and University of Cape Town notes: "Greater Johannesburg is a city of about 3 million people but is part of a conurbation comprising a population of something closer to 8 million which includes...", [30] Many articles also have "Greater Johannesburg" in their titles, for example: "In-migration and Living Conditions of Young Adolescents in Greater Johannesburg, South Africa", [31] "The question of road traffic congestion and decongestion in the greater Johannesburg area", [32] "The impact of gated communities on spatial transformation in the Greater Johannesburg area", [33] etc. The Independent Online writes: "By comparison, the average in greater Johannesburg, comprising the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni metros...". Financial Times carried a feature in May 2017 titled: "Investing in Gauteng: Greater Johannesburg". [34] Political parties like ANC specifically refer to "Greater Johannesburg". [35] This 1999 book is titled "Historical Dictionary of Greater Johannesburg ". [36] The review of this book also addresses Greater Johannesburg. [37] What I'm trying to mention is that in scholarly sources, news reports, popular culture etc, the terminology of "Greater Johannesburg" has continued quite strongly. Add to this you have mentioned above that your inference that Greater Johannesburg area is the same as the municipality may be original research ("...City of Johannesburg MM (OR of course)". Further, a "municipality" is an administrative body, while a "region" is a geographic mass. Equating the two seems illogical. Then there is actually no other option but to keep the article.

  • Keep: Clearly a distinct geographic entity relative to the other Johannesburg pages mentioned here (overlapping, but distinct). A natural geographic term that is frequently used in sources (per Lourdes). A page discussing the region is appropriate. Lourdes' arguments are clear and seem valid. So far as I can see, Batternut's arguments seem to involve a lot of muddying of the water (eg, lots of detailed points that turn out to be wrong or irrelevant to the larger point) and dubious inferences. I don't have the patience of the Lourdes to go through and rebut in detail. Power-enwiki says redirect to Johannesburg, but offers no reasons. I'm agnostic about whether to add "Metropolitan Area" to the page title (discussed as an option by Lourdes). Either way, one name would be the page title (eg, Greater Johannesburg) and the other should be a redirect (eg, Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area). -- Gpc62 ( talk) 01:17, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    • I said redirect because this is a two-paragraph article with no content that gives no indication this is a commonly-used term (the references barely use the term) and the Johannesburg article already discusses the full metropolitan area and not just the city proper. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 04:06, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Sorry, but none of the links Lourdes found above seems to define an area called "Greater Johannesburg". Google news and scholar also find lots of hits for "Downtown Johannesburg" and "Central Johannesburg" (more news in fact). I don't think we particularly need articles on them. Redirects perhaps...

Domdeparis was fine to accept this from AfC, the standard there is a 50% chance of survival at AfD, but unfortunately I think we have to go with delete here. The sourcing he showed above doesn't meet our standards: source 1 is a part of a list, which we consider routine coverage in corporate/company AfDs. Source 2 from Crux is sponsored content (i.e. an actual advertisement and not just a recycled press release). Source three is also a list, but on top of that it is from Mashable, which we don't consider a reliable source for the purposes of establishing notability. Nothing in the article is independent and non-PR sourcing. Unfortunately, this company is not a notable subject. TonyBallioni ( talk) 19:11, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply

And just to put this into perspective my AFD stats stand at a success rate of 80.6% for 390 discussions and if you ignore the no consensus I am at 85.7%.

The result was delete. Three users have advanced "keep" arguments, among whom only one has produced sources in support. A spot-check of those sources do not demonstrate clear-cut notability (one of them, for instance, appears to be a review of a book published by this club). Therefore, I see a consensus to delete.

  • Delete - It's not enough for something to be the oldest "something" - there must also be media sources covering the group to meet Wikipedia guidelines. I visited the Morgunblaðið site and searched for TBR [ [41]], but the only coverage I can find appears to be match results. I also went to Fréttablaðið to search for TBR [ [42]]. Same thing - just routine match results. This is what you'd see in the local news coverage of a local paper. What we'd like to see in order to demonstrate notability is in depth coverage of the group itself. If indeed it is the largest club in Iceland one would expect to see some coverage to that effect, and also some coverage outside the country in foreign publications. This article is so short now that there's no harm in deleting it - if any sources come up and anyone takes an interest, it can be recreated with more meat. It has been in this same sparse condition for almost 13 years. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:17, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep As stated, it is a fairly old club so older sources could be difficult to find. For older Icelandic news, timarit.is is a good source. However, the search in older issues is not perfect (Looks like they automaticaly scanned the words in the papers, it doesn't always work as some letters are wrong). To complicate it a bit more, you also have to search for either the full Icelandic name (Tenn­is- og badm­int­on­fé­lag Reykja­vík­ur) or the short version (TBR). Still, a 5 minutes search turned up some sources. Like this one from 1964 (Page 5 and 9). Another from 1964 (Starts on page 5, continues on page 8). From 1966.

  • Keep: I've since added a further two obviously reliable sources, which are not simply rehashes of the earlier material. The article in The Express Tribune is non-trivial (she is one of two artists discussed, although in less detail than the first). The second article from Public Radio International is about her reaction to the death of Junaid Jamshed, although the article title doesn't make that obvious. It obvious from the first line of the article however, which reads "Growing up, musician Rutaba Yaqub loved listening to Junaid Jamshed.". So that now makes four obviously reliable sources, although two of those four are about roughly the same thing (just with different details).

There's now three/four references that meet that, which covers the "multiple" part. As for in-depth coverage, that isn't a requirement under Wikipedia:Notability (music). I've had a look, and the only mention of in depth coverage related to notability is for WP:INDEPTH, which is in relation to individual events, not biographies.

One big unsourced ball of fandom listcruft. It has been tagged as badly sourced since 2010 and has gone through two AfDs in that time, without improvement. There is no useful value to this list (voice actors are commonplace and we have categories to list them). The detail in this list is excessive, as there is negligible sourcing. It certainly has no value beyond listing the actor names, as a category would do better.

I'm prompted to list this because of this edit, a persistent vandal today dumping another similar 3k block of unsourced, unverifiable BLP. Yet it's not actually any worse than what's here already. We can't polish this, so we should flush it. Andy Dingley ( talk) 03:02, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Category:Voice actors. I know it's cross-categorization, but that's a good way to deal with thousands of entries, and can apply WP:CATDEF as to who is really a voice actor and who just had a bit voice-over role in whatever, the latter of which is pretty much everyone who's been an actor. If you skim through Lists of actors, you'll see a good chunk of them as redirecting to categories. Maintaining a list of "well, what were they in?" is not useful.

  • Redirect to Category:Voice actors per AngusWOOF. It's cross-namespace, but R2 doesn't cover this type of redirect.

  • Delete. List is too broad in scope to be useful, because there are simply too many people who have worked as voice actors, too many editors who think every voice actor who exists gets an automatic notability freebie regardless of their sourceability (further adding a constant ebb and flow of additions and removals), and too many people who get added here on the basis of having once voiced a two-line cameo on The Simpsons without ever having had a regular voice-acting role at all, for this to be a maintainable list. Redirecting to a category is never a useful thing to do with a list title, either — for one thing, voice actors are subcategorized by nationality and gender, so there are exactly zero people filed directly in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Voice actors at all. So a person typing this title into the search bar won't actually end up at any actual list. Bearcat ( talk) 23:42, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information, such as detailed lists of podcast episodes. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 02:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep You cannot delete an episode description page on an "indiscriminate information basis." The episode list is useful for people who want to know a bit about the show without having to leave Wikipedia to find it in the iTunes store or their page, then find the episode description list, then find what they want. It is easy access. Furthermore, on the basis of the previous attempt to do this, the fact it is a talk show doesn't work against it as List of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episodes exists as an episode description page for a talk show.

Looking at the history of the Podcast page, this was on a rollback because the editor of that page thought that listing the episodes was "messy."

  • Speedy delete as copyright infringement of episode list on iTunes. (Tagged)
I do not take kindly to my talk page comments being misrepresented. I did not use the word "messy" in either an edit summary or a talk page comment. What I actually said on the talk page was:

"I removed the list because it seemed to be copied directly from iTunes or from Hello Internet itself. We don't want a lot of content copied from other sources but what we can do is link to it instead."

That was me being nice, pointing out that we can't plagiarise other sources listings in a gentle way and being nice by adding a link to the full episode list under External links. I know that no good deed goes unpunished but I am not taking a trouting for this!
Now, this is me being slightly less nice, but not unreasonably so: The podcast teeters on the edge of being notable enough for an article. It falls just the right side of the line for a single article. It does not justify a stand alone episode list (like a highly notable TV show can do) or a walled garden of additional articles. Copyright issues aside, it does not offer the readers any advantage to look at a list of episodes on Wikipedia instead of on iTunes or HI's own website (which I linked to under External links). The "Tims" can put what they like on their own Wiki (and take the consequences if it turns out to be somebody else's copyright) but Wikipedia is not free web hosting for fansites. -- DanielRigal ( talk) 19:54, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I feel like I've done a decent job of stating facts objectively and without puffery; however, I do concede that I haven't included enough opposing viewpoints, and I'm working to fix that. As for notability, I feel strongly that Pureval meets WP:GNG for significant coverage in reliable sources. Of particular note are the Daily Kos piece ( [48]), this coverage in AdAge (I haven't yet added his Aftab/Aflac campaign advertising to the article), and the lengthy Cincinnati profile ( [49]). He has also received significant local coverage beyond what is normally expected for the oft-ignored clerk of courts position -- compare the sources available on Google for " aftab pureval" vs those for his predecessor, " tracy winkler". - IagoQnsi ( talk) 02:42, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Clerk of courts at the county level is not a notability criterion that would get a person into Wikipedia under WP:NPOL, but the sourcing here is not making a strong case that he could be considered more notable than the norm. It's an office whose holders would simply be expected to generate some coverage in their county's own local media, so local coverage isn't enough to demonstrate notability by itself — to consider a person at this level of office notable enough for an article, we would require evidence that he was getting nationalized coverage beyond just Cincinnati media alone, thereby making him more notable than most other clerks of courts in most other counties. The fact that he may be more visible within Cincy than his predecessor was isn't the make-or-break condition in and of itself — the determing factor is whether or not his prominence can be shown as significantly wider (i.e. statewide or national) than most other court clerks could claim. But the only evidence of that being shown here is Daily Kos, which is not a notability-supporting source because it's a user-generated activist blog, not a media outlet. Bearcat ( talk) 17:52, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Alright, I concede; I made a mistake here. I had read WP:NPOL before writing the article, but I hadn't read WP:POLOUTCOMES, so I didn't realize that meeting WP:GNG isn't sufficient for local politicians if the sources are almost entirely local.

Recent AfD and a non-admin closure, but a bit late to simply re-open it.

They're a professor. But do they pass WP:ACADEMIC? I'm seeing neither the extent, nor the sourcing to justify this. This is another bio from a problematic community banned paid editor (KDS4444). Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep distinguished chair at a research university. It means he passes PROF, and its been worked on by other editors to try to make it comply with our guidelines. Not a fan of the paid stuff, but Jytdog and others have helped here, so it isn't solely the work of a paid editor or only intended to promote. TonyBallioni ( talk) 02:12, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
So we're happy to take this on the basis of only a job title and a TV credit? This is supposedly an academic biography, yet there isn't even a publications list. A CV so thin would have a hard time getting a postdoc role, let alone claiming to be NOTABLE. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:31, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Yes, because of how North American academic ranks work. It means that he does meet the other PROF criteria without having to check. We also just had an RfC on this that confirmed passing PROF establishes notability independent of the GNG, and he clearly passes PROF. TonyBallioni ( talk) 02:36, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
So what is his "rank"? The infobox claims "Distinguished professor", but the staff list states "University professor". This is an article which might well end up labelled as "notable", but it's also painfully lax. We're not usually so accommodating to our editors. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:39, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Andy, his details are on his university page. SarahSV (talk) 02:40, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Perhaps amazingly, I've already read that. And nowhere does it call him a "Distinguished professor", which is what the infobox claims. Now maybe in Arkansas a "University professor" is something special, but it isn't round here. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:54, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
A University Professorship is a specific professorship given to academics with the rank of distinguished professor at some North American universities. It is different than simply being a professor at a university. It is a specific title for a highly regarded academic at the institution. TonyBallioni ( talk) 03:01, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Andy, you wrote "A CV so thin would have a hard time getting a postdoc role", so I assumed you hadn't found his page. For "University Professor", see Academic ranks in the United States. SarahSV (talk) 03:07, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep. "Distinguished Professor" generally means someone with well-above-ordinary scholarship, and "University Professor" sometimes means something similar (at my campus it is like Distinguished Professor but even more rarefied). But at Arkansas it seems to mean someone with extraordinary contributions to service rather than to scholarship. So I don't think this is quite what we usually expect in WP:PROF#C5. Instead, in this case, it appears to be evidence of WP:PROF#C7, "substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity", presumably for his general-audience work on Petra. — David Eppstein ( talk) 03:06, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. He's a distinguished chair at a notable research university. It means he satisfies PROF. George Custer's Sabre ( talk) 04:19, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
IMHE (which is UK) someone with a "distinguished chair" would be titled as holding the "Zoidberg Chair in Psychoceramics" or similar. I can see no such description. Nor can I see "distinguished professor" being used anywhere outside our own infobox. As a BLP, we have to source such things, especially when their notability rests upon them.

Considering that the Harlem 1st branch that started meeting in a room in Sylvia's Restaurant of Harlem 20 years ago is the same organization as the Harlem 1st Ward that today meets in a regularly built LDS Chapel, I strongly suspect that the assertions of this article would not be held to be all people.

Even allowing for the irregularities of what GS sees and what it misses, there's no way this adds up to "influential".

Non-notable collection of short stories; after removing "references" (with explanations in edit summary) which were not reliable or independent sources, no references were left to speak of. The article author, Taniya94, has also defended a hardly notable short story by an author who has a book coming up with the publisher of the subject of this nomination; and a draft of an article about another book from this publisher, with refs mostly taken from the Facebook of the publisher and the author, is currently in the works. This same user appears to be knowledgeable about the parent company of the publisher, which is strange for a regular fan of films and books that she on the surface appears to be. Note that the draft mentioned above is of a book that comes out tomorrow (Indian timezone), so it's weirdly timed if we are talking about a random fan, but speaks to the excellent project execution skills if we are talking about someone who is on the launch team. This raises concerns about whether there is a conflict of interest here. Funny that the user also claims that she "created more than 50 articles and always tried to write it in a neutral point of view, never intended to promote someone or something". I'm saying we should probably start taking defenses of obviously non-notable products by this person with a grain of salt. –– Latreia ( talk) 22:31, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

There are several of these kinds of pages that are formed as a series. They were all created by User:Dallyripple who split them off from the main article, Imperial election. All of these articles have the section Election of X (year), followed by a the subsections Electors and Elected. However, this series of articles does not seem to meet the WP:N criterion. Firstly, the topics of this article series are too trivial (and don't seem to have WP:RS due to that).

The 1519 election for example had major influence on relations between European states including the power struggles between Charles V and France. It also had an impact on the Reformation as Charles V's handling of Luther was shaped by the fact he did not want to alienate the Elector of Saxony.

  • Keep per WP:NCRIME If a matter is deemed notable, and to be a likely crime, the article should remain even if it is subsequently found that no crime occurred (e.g., the Runaway bride case) since that would not make the matter less notable - the outcome of the investigation/trial (sane/insane, hate/no-hate, etc.) - has little to do with notability. What makes an event notable - is coverage. In this case - we have copious coverage from around the 2014 event itself (in top-notch sources - including NYT for instance). We also have WP:LASTING coverage various news outlets - [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]. Books - [10] [11] [12]. Icewhiz ( talk) 21:11, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    Not that it should be relevant to the outcome, but per ABC news in Oct 2016 - [13] The driver of the SUV, Ahmed H.

    His Muslim faith is claimed by his mother and I think that is reliable and mentioned in multiple sources. Aden's mother, Hawo Abdullahi of Minneapolis, said her son also was Muslim and, like the victim, was Somali. [14], [15] , [16] Aden's mother, Hawo Abdullahi of Minneapolis, said through an interpreter that her Somali son is Muslim [17], [18] I am not well versed with Wikipedia policies as I am new but an ordinary murder is not notable thousands of such murders including those mentioned in leading newspapers daily and which are covered in the media. Girdlast888 ( talk) 23:12, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    His mother apparently said this close to the incident. Later sources dot repeat this claim. People can convert. In any event the perp's faith is irrelevant to notability. Icewhiz ( talk) 04:57, 23 November 2017 (UTC) Note - the mother of a suspect is usually not considered a RS, and is typically viewed as highly biased in favor of the suspect. Icewhiz ( talk) 06:33, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Icewhiz I have no comment on notability yet but please do not try to use namedrops and passing mentions as proof of "lasting coverage". Literally, all those sources briefly mention the incident and are about another more notable subject or incident. Of course, there was coverage soon after the killing -- that fits nicely into WP:NOTNEWS. Regardless, I am sure this article will be kept because enough editors will take your listing here at face value rather than actually evaluate their lack of depth. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 01:31, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This case does not seem to pass our notability guidelines. It is not even clear if it was a hate crime. If it was, one should think about creating a more general page, i.e. Anti-Muslim violence in the United states. That might be valid page. My very best wishes ( talk) 18:13, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete Considering that the claims that the perpetrator of the crime was Muslim and not Chrisitan according to his own family members, most of the categorizing is flawed, and reflects the fact this was a rushed to assumption news story advanced to back a particular narrative, one that proved false and we should not continue to advance in a reliable encyclopedia. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:18, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Sorry but the misleading "coverage" listed here, as well as the immediate and short-lived news surrounding this subject does not convince me. The notability criteria for events specifies that reports -- even if they are widespread -- on their own are not enough to establish notability. Historical and/or societal significance are indicators. Some editors may argue that those cannot be established with a recent news event and I can argue that the article shouldn't be created in the first place if notability is that questionable. I wish the criteria for events could be applied more accurately for terrorism-related AFDs but for now I will worry about this individual incident and hope editors come to the proper conclusion.

*Delete I came back to source, expand the brief, confusing article, and found that a more careful look at sources changed my opinion. After the brief flurry of coverage caused by the impression that a murder-by-vehicle-ramming by a perp with anti-Islam bumper-stickers on his vehicle who deliberately ran over Muslim must be an anti-Muslim hate crime, there really has been very little coverage. Presumably because it turned out not to be a hate crime. Fails WP:NCRIME. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 00:38, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply

*Floating an idea Clearly, the brief flurry of coverage was generated by the assumption that this was a hate crime. We seem to run this drill a lot. For example, we have Killing of Nabra Hassanen. They cannot be merged to our List of Islamophobic incidents. Which makes me wonder whether we could use a List of crimes initially mistaken for hate crimes. Not merely as a redirect target, but because these allegations tend to resurface, so providing a few facts about incidents that have attracted media attention before turning out not to be hate crimes might be useful. opinions?

Notability concerns. The only references are database-like entries at GameFAQ, and a very bizarre Youtube video. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 18:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

I'm gonna start a discussion at Village pump soon, to make it so that all video games that were officially released on a console are notable for their own articles. Okay, so I get the concern for "non-notability" that the content is not verifiable. But I don't care how many references you have; the fact that Santa Claus Saves the Earth is a video game for the GBA and PS1 IS true and will forever be true. The name of the game will never change, and the gameplay will always be the same. Console games are constant, never-changing, and absolute. They should be treated like geographical locations.

I don't think there's a rule that all console games are notable, and I don't think there should be. I also don't think a Vice article that says when people occasionally make lists of "holiday video games" this somehow ends up being included, simply for the lack of options. and only describes game as thoroughly broken and cheaply produced suggests that it's notable. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 18:44, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

You people are serious? This is a GAME! A GAME! And not only is it a game, but it's also a console game, a notoriously bad game (yes it is!), it was reviewed by Caddicarus who's like somewhere next to AVGN in fame, 6 news sources, and it's not even a franchise game like most bad games.

An article is either notable or it isn't, there's no sliding scale that says an unimportant, cool, original, or whatever you think the article is makes it get a free pass.

@ Walter Görlitz: the first source you mention is about a small college festival which happens to share a name with the band. The only musicians mentioned are "singer-songwriter Mohit Chauhan, folk fusion band Lagori and an EDM party with top DJs", and the similarity in name appears to be coincidence.

A vague term for 'products that give the consumer a burst of energy', possibly a WP:NEO. No substantial content that can't be found on the Energy Drinks page. Created by what was likely a COI account and repeatedly edited to include different editors' product of choice. References are only lists of how much caffeine some energy drinks and gums contain.

Delete Definitely a WP:NEO. I expected this article to be about equipment used in the Energy technology sector. Indeed, all Google searches point in that direction, too. This page fails to justify the inclusion of sweets/candy as so-called energy products. It adds absolutely nothing to what is already contained in Energy drinks or in List of energy drinks. I feel that a redirect to either page would not be helpful, and would simply confuse many users. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes ( talk) 09:15, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD and no reason was given. non-notable band. One song reached No. 48 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart meaning No. 148 overall (in 2010) http://www.billboard.com/music/stereoside/chart-history/heatseekers-albums/song/664601 .

Delete. Per 1st nomination, the main argument for keep was based this subject having a track appear for one week at #48 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. It is not an important source for gauging a recording’s accomplishment. The chart exists primarily for the benefit of retailer’s to track new or previously unsuccessful artists and their relative position to actually charting on Billboard’s top 100, based on sales or airplay. As low of a placement as #48 is not much of an accomplishment; it could simply reflect pre-orders, and when such a release disappears after one week, that is usually the case. (FWIW, Walter Görlitz ( talk), it’s doesn’t even translate into #148, as there may be non-qualifying “heatseeking” artist in the top 200 who chart higher.) In fact, #48 is so dubious in importance that in the years since this subject’s appearance, Billboard has stopped tracking anything beyond #25. Otherwise, my google search finds the subject covered in minor music media and blogs, trivial promotional, but nothing significant that distinguishes the band from run-of-the-mill existence.

  • Delete. He's written quite a few books, including (the article says) five academic books, but although they exist they seem to have vanished into the academic void, with zero reviews. Which is very weird, for an academic book, and a sign that he isn't having much impact. Regardless, we don't have evidence for WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR, and without evidence we can't keep the article. — David Eppstein ( talk) 18:42, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Academic publishing is moving to a different platform in which publishers use subscription-based download services, such as SpringerLink. If you look at Taillard's books based on downloads, you'll see even his earliest books are still getting consistent attention. This is a service you can use to confirm that. [1]
You can also use Academia.com to note that his name has been specifically referenced in 551 papers: [2]
It is also worth noting that the importance of the work he's done is attracting the attention of various podcasts, from people who find his work extremely important: [3]
It is without doubt that he is a professor, as he works at Central Michigan University, and has contributed more greatly to academia than most professors through his writings. [4]

Xxanthippe 281 WorldCat entries [1] plus 551 papers referencing BLP through Academia.edu is pretty significant, but not huge. Other editors and administrators have referred to the BLP as being right on the edge of notability.

  • Delete I agree with David Eppstein's assessment that we don't have the evidence for WP:AUTHOR or WP:PROF. Download counts are not an indication of influence, nor should they be. Time and time again, I've been researching some obscure point and downloaded a dozen papers in the process, none of which had what I needed. There's no way to tell how many of the downloaded copies were discarded immediately after (nor how many hits were from automated scraping, etc.).

  • Keep As per WP:AUTHOR, criteria states that "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." Taillard has written works that are considered revolutionary to military strategy. This is evidenced by the books Economics and Modern Warfare (plus the coming 2nd edition), Psychology and Modern Warfare, and Analytics and Modern Warfare. There are also citations present in the BLP that provide irrefutable evidence of being invited to speak on this matter at universities (specifically, Madonna University), and on podcasts. Within an interview in the award winning movie Dead Man Working, as well as the books themselves, it is confirmed that he was a consultant on these same topics with US Strategic Command as the invitation of Vice Admiral Cecil Haney in 2011, and in Washington DC at the Chief of Staff of the Army's Strategic Studies Group at the invitation of Colonel Edmund Degen. The National Writer's Series is publishing an author's profile based on these books on Dec. 01, 2017. This all demonstrates a range of very significant influence in the field of strategic studies that range across the academic, military, and literary industries for which there has been ongoing recognition for the last 7 years. As per Academia.edu, his works have been cited 551 times in scholarly papers, and they are read significantly more frequently than books of similar topics according to BookMetrix. That is solid proof of WP:AUTHOR for the developments of new concepts and theories in the field of strategic studies. If anything, the biggest violation in the Wikipedia page is that it fails to give proper emphasis to his contributions to this field of work. Reorganizing the article a bit to focus on his contributions and work in strategic studies would help give the article a more appropriate scope. He was working with top US military officers across the nation to develop new methods of strategy, and then wrote three books about it which are popular enough that the publisher is starting with 2nd editions, and has spoken to universities, podcasts, and authors' groups. If that doesn't make someone notable within the field of strategic studies, nothing does - this guy is at the top of the field within a somewhat niche but very important area of expertise. That most definitely fits the criteria for a notable author as per Wikipedia guidelines. That is irrefutable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BullMooseRevival ( talkcontribs) 06:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The publishers he has worked with includes some of the most influential names in the industry. Wiley, Springer, Macmillan are all very selective and distinguished. I would bet each person here has heard of Corporate Finance for Dummies, themselves. I know I have seen it at my local bookstores and library. Nobody cites a Dummies book, but this one is a staple for college students. If he is good enough for the biggest names in the industry and known worldwide, then that is the very definition of notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.30.9 ( talk) 21:13, 22 November 2017 (UTC) 97.91.30.9 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
    • The mere existence of a book, or of any other scholarly publication, is not itself evidence of notability, even if the work was published by a reputable publisher. WP:PROF#C1 states, "Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1." Moreover, any claim that a "person has pioneered or developed a significant new concept" must be supported "by a substantial number of references to academic publications of researchers other than the person in question" which establish that the new concept is indeed significant. Pointing back to the books themselves, as this article repeatedly does, is not sufficient. Moreover, these secondary sources must themselves be reliable, which rules out the vast majority of podcasts, blogs, social media posts, etc. XOR'easter ( talk) 02:21, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Could not find enough to establish notability under WP:PROF. Does not seem to pass WP:BIO either.-- Eric Yurken ( talk) 21:31, 23 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Eric Yurken:@ David Eppstein:@ XOR'easter: A lot of the confusion seems to be stemming from the way the article was written. There's far too much emphasis on points for which the person is not notable and not enough emphasis given to why the person is notable. Let me explain. Notability is established under WP:AUTHOR as described in previous comments. The works fall directly under the direct criteria, "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." The work has been of consistent interest to military, university, and public audiences for 7 years, and continues to be of interest. Strategic studies is a niche topic, but Taillard is clearly notable within it, as previously demonstrated. In addition, as someone pointed-out, nobody actually cites a Dummies book because they offer intro material that is generally not acceptable for academic citations, but everyone has heard of Corporate Finance for Dummies because it's in universities around the world. That being said, I would agree that the article fails to emphasize the reason for author notability. Instead of deleting it entirely, it seems prudent to rewrite it to narrow the scope of its content. The entire section on political views could be deleted, and the subsection on military reformation given its own section and expanded to include more details on that matter. Discussions on being a professor should be more of a side-note than a feature, and more details offered on his role in the development of his professional field. Early life could be deleted, although educational history might be prudent to the article. Would you agree that this makes sense? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 00:00, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Note. The subject has been very productive as of late; but notability is based on recognition, which usually takes some time. The article was created too early. He could become notable in the future; in fact, this may be likely. But not yet.-- Eric Yurken ( talk) 16:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Eric Yurken: And, as demonstrated by citations to BookMetrix, Worldcat, and Academia.edu, Taillard is at the forefront of literature in that field due to his contributions of entirely new theory. That is the definition of notability under a clause of WP:AUTHOR. The fact that these contributions are sought by military and academia proves applied demand due to these books. There is nothing too early about this - it has already reached top military brass, including an appearance to the Naval War College in Rhode Island next month. Now, the only ones providing actual citations, referencing specific Wiki policy, or offering logic beyond "I disapprove" have been those saying keep the article. Unless you can offer a more substantial argument, then those who want the page deleted are merely relying on a majority vote, which it has already been stated does not matter. Can anyone offer a quality reason to delete this page other than not liking it? As of now, all empirical evidence supports keeping it under WP:AUTHOR. Simply disliking that fact is not grounds for deletion according to Wiki policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.91.30.9 ( talkcontribs) 97.91.30.9 ( talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
@ Xxanthippe: We both specialized in similar fields, but we're not friends or anything. We met one time for a Congressional conference on fiscal policy reform in Washington DC which is where he told me about his work on strategic economics, and I've been following his books published by Palgrave Macmillan ever since.

Thank you for this explanations. Xxanthippe ( talk) 10:12, 26 November 2017 (UTC). reply
@ Xxanthippe: No problem. In light of the evidence that the subject of the LPB is purchased and read more frequently than other books in the same field, does this change your mind on the matter? Based on your own criteria of citations, 551 may not compared to legendary names like Adam Smith, but neither is it insignificant. The article was written very generically, and it seems like a rewrite would be the appropriate course of action, rather than deletion. Would you agree? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 17:22, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom, failing WP:PROF. This is one of the many articles that was made without having enough knowledge about reliable sources. Some sources like Economics and Modern Warfare: The Invisible Fist of the Market are created by the subject. And number of other sources [22] are just unreliable. Excelse ( talk) 07:19, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I agree with the comments of BullMooseRevival. I agree that the article needs a rewrite. I would post a 'reads like a CV' template on it. But I think the distinction between citations and downloads (one being good and useful, the other being worthless) is wrongheaded. The question is whether people are using his material, which, clearly, they are. I agree that he qualifies for Academic Person as a leader in his field. The extensive commentary showing that the Subject, in the commentator's view, doess not meet the Criterion C1, may be true, but may also be the fault of the editors of the article, who don't know about the guidelines for notability of academics, and therefore do not frame their content appropriately. But there are eight other Criteria, and also the statement " Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable." Commentators may well be raising the bar far too high. Again, I think the article needs a template or two to encourage better style and better documentation, with attention to WP:NPROF. -- Vicedomino ( talk) 07:58, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Vicedomino: Looking at your page, it seems like you have a lot of experience. Would you mind very much assisting in revising the article? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 22:10, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    • "There are eight other criteria", true. But he fails all of them. — David Eppstein ( talk) 19:10, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
      • Notability is established under WP:AUTHOR. The works fall directly under 2 criteria: 1: "The person is regarded as an important figure" and 2: "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique." As previously noted, people are buying, reading, and requesting more of the same content because of this. This, in fact, establishes notability under WP:NPROF under criteria 7, "7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." Ample citations have been provided of this. The failure in the article is that it was poorly designed and written, something which a group of experienced editors should be able to resolve quite easily. In fact, there was even mention of templates? That is the point, right? To improve articles instead of spending endless days judging whether they should be deleted based upon their original form? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 19:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
BullMooseRevival, you keep saying that "the person is regarded as important figure" is proven by people reading/buying his stuff, but this is a very weak argument. The way Wikipedia works, is that we summarize what reliable sources say. That is the epistemology of this place, and the way the dilemma of there being no named authors is resolved (authors of content are not authoritative; sources are authoritative. If there were say a NYT profile, a WSJ profile, an Economist profile, all saying how important he is, it would be unlikely that this article would have been nominated for deletion. This whole piece is trying to sell, sell SELL how important he is, and by trying so hard it fails to be encyclopedic. You are fairly new here and it is clear that you don't understand this stuff yet. What I suggest is that you agree to draftify this article, and tone it down, use more high quality secondary sources that are about him (not by him), and then put it through WP:AFC. What do you think about that? Jytdog ( talk) 20:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
To be totally honest, I was hoping an editor with more experience might help with editing. It sounds like you agree that rewriting the article is the best course of action. I've asked two very experienced editors to assist in that process in lieu of taking the page down. Once the article is less generic and really just focuses more on the significant contributions the LPB subject has made, then there shouldn't be any question. On the page there are citations to sources which demonstrate he has been invited to speak at universities, conferences, military agencies, podcasts, and writer's groups on his specific areas of contribution, and that his books are popular enough that the publishers are now doing 2nd editions. That definitely demonstrates "significant impact" based on "originating a significant new theory", which inherently makes him "an important figure." Ok, for the sake of argument, you disagree with "important figure", there are still 2 other criteria which fits perfectly. You mentioned news sources of global distribution - The Economist does profiles on people like Kofi Annan, Bloomberg does profiles on people like Donald Trump, so if you are setting the bar at "World Leaders" as your judgment of notability, you may as well delete 99% of the people on Wikipedia right now. Instead, let's take the sensible path and fix-up the article so that it is more in-line with other people who are notable yet not so notable that they decide world affairs at the United Nations. BullMooseRevival ( talk) 21:04, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
It does not sound to me like Jytdog thinks the article should be kept and rewritten. It sounds like he thinks the article should be taken down unless/until someone with a better understanding of how notability works on Wikipedia rewrites it based on independent reliable sources. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
@ David Eppstein: So, we are in agreement that the problem is not one of notability? That the problem is the article needs to be rewritten? Regardless of whether you would take the article down first or not, the issue at hand is that the article was poorly designed in its original incarnation? Are you also in agreement with this assessment of the current state of things?
BullMooseRevival, You have repeated yourself. I heard you the first few times you said this stuff. Please hear me (and everybody else) when we say that we are hearing your argument and it is not a good one, here in Wikipedia.
This article will very likely be deleted if this discussion continues. You can save yourself and everybody else trouble if you will consent to moving this out of "mainspace" (the Wikipedia that everyone reads) and into "draft space" (that is what "draftifying" means -- unpublishing it, but keeping it as a working draft elsewhere in Wikipedia -- it would be at Draft:Michael Taillard), to remove the hard selling and if there are independent sources that establish the stuff you are saying about him, rewrite this article based on those sources. And once it is done, submit the draft for review by independent editors (that is what happens in the "articles for creation" process), after which it would be published. This page in anything like its current form should not be published in Wikipedia. There is too much "selling". Will you agree to this? Jytdog ( talk) 22:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
As you said, I am relatively new. I've only made basic contributions and have learned the "code" by watching others use it. So, when I say I cannot agree to that, I am not being argumentative, I literally mean I cannot agree because I don't really know what you're talking about. Seriously, I've made contributions to existing pages for years with no problem, but it wasn't until attempting to make a new page that I learned just how complicated Wikipedia can be. That's really my biggest concern with your suggestion - the page will be "draftified" and then I won't know what to do from there and the whole thing will just get lost in the shuffle. That's the biggest reason I wanted to leave the page available while it gets worked-on, because at least then I still know what I'm doing. Doing it your way delves into territory I'm not familiar with. Is there some middle ground we can find in which a bit of assistance is offered to walk through this? To be quite honest, I'd really like to see someone experienced work on the page so I can see what they're doing and learn from it and become a better editor, myself. What do you think? Is there somewhat we can do it your way but get some kind of assistance? BullMooseRevival ( talk) 00:01, 28 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Agreed that the page is likely to be deleted. Draftify may not be an answer, because if a draft if left for too long without being edited it may be deleted. Wikipedia does not provide a cloud storage service. The creator might do better to copy the source code onto his own computer where it can be worked on securely. Xxanthippe ( talk) 00:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC). reply
Beg to differ. What I see so far is NO consensus. There is a disagreement as to whether a criterion has been met. And alternatives to deletion have been proposed (improving the article already posted, moving the article to Drafting). Please avoid trying to strongarm the commentators into a false appearance of consensus. -- Vicedomino ( talk) 00:30, 28 November 2017 (UTC) reply
You know what? Fuck it. I'm just going to delete the page. I can't believe I've wasted as much time as I have even trying to contribute. You win - I don't care enough to do this anymore. BullMooseRevival ( talk) 00:40, 28 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Are you changing your vote to Delete then? Xxanthippe ( talk) 01:21, 28 November 2017 (UTC). reply
I'm changing my vote to "Do whatever you want, just keep me out of it." I blanked the page because I don't know how to delete it outright, and I don't want my work associated with this at all, anymore.

Declined PROD. No indication of notability. Most of the sources cited in the article are either to his own blog, or articles about other people he is associated with that mention him in passing. The two exceptions are these regurgitated press releases [23] [24], which are far from significant coverage.

  • @ Kwamevaughan: Notability is a property of the subject rather than article itself, so no amount of editing will make him notable. That's why I find it better (less bitey) to settle the matter quickly – rather than have you waste your time on something that isn't a viable encyclopaedic subject. If Assah is notable then we can keep the article, but you will have to show that he has been written about in detail (not just passing mentions) by multiple reliable sources that have no connection to him. I haven't been able to find any evidence of that.
I am struck by the coincidence that you've decided to write this article just weeks after Assah himself apparently tried and failed to do so. Do you have a conflict of interest in relation to this article? –  Joe ( talk) 19:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Opinions expressed by editors with little activity or activity after a long period of dormancy (which accounts for nearly all "keep" votes in this discussion) are given reduced weight because they are likely to be unfamiliar with the current standards of notability for inclusion in Wikipedia. bd2412 T 20:51, 28 November 2017 (UTC) reply

While a Google search on Ron Dwight shows that this person definitely existed, I can find no coverage in any reliable sources, even in the computing press where you'd expect at the very least a few obituaries. If he'd written WinRAR he'd have a case for notability-by-association, but it's fairly clear that he was just someone who owned the distribution rights in some territories, not the actual developer. None of the three sources are remotely appropriate for use in Wikipedia, and the ELs are either broken or to unreliable websites so can't take their place.  ‑  Iridescent 17:29, 7 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • keep Definitely keep - the fact that he was active with WinRAR is inferior to the role he played in FidoNet Germany. As the Zone Coordinator for Europe, he forcefully re-structured and regionalized the whole German FidoNet which he was equally loved and hated for. Looking at the node- and pointlists of that time you can see that FidoNet in Germany was a huge community these days and it can be said that he and the consequences of his actions were a ubiquitous topic in all administrational discussions. -- ius 22:00, 16 November 2017 (CET) ius ( talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD.

    • comment - This is not fair. You expect people to turn up while you guys expect me not to notify them. There is no guideline that people who edit wikipedia twice in a millenia (or, actually, not ever) cannot participate in AfD, nor that opinions of people not checking back soon enough wouldn't matter. Also since it has been proven - as far as I see, but I'm pretty open to run checkuser against me if anyone needs that way of satisfaction - that all the people up there are real, separate and possessing his/her own opinion, I would really appreciate if you would not ignore their opinion. I already have inserted (some) sources (which possibly could have improved upon); I have already told why sources are hard to find; already told why the person is notable (while I accept that he's on the lower bound of the notability scale for people not being familar with the network and general networking history, still pretty relevant in the course of the shaping if FidoNet which have lead to internet implementation later by the same persons). Also some of you are strongly advised to read WP:APPNOTE, which has been followed in this case (and has been ignored by the labeling above!), an remove canvassing marks from the people.

None of the points about notability have been addressed. When we look at the sources we judge whether they meet WP:GNG standards and these don't.

  • Delete, a little reluctantly, and presumably salt, given the history of this article. The Guardian article doesn't compare Henshaw to Al Green, Smokey Robinson, etc. – what it says is that Henshaw's style of singing reminds you that those artists didn't sing at the top of their lungs either... which isn't the same as comparing him to them. The LinkedIn references look interesting, until you realise it was more a case of Henshaw enterprisingly using LinkedIn to promote himself, rather than the company actively asking him to take part in an advertisement. Lots of references to prove he played gigs and festivals – well, he's a musician, that's his job, it doesn't make him any more notable than the hundreds of musicians gigging up and down the country. So the only notable sources are that he won an NME Breakthrough award and opened at the Lovebox festival in London, and that The Guardian profiled him – although it must be said that the newspaper's "new band of the week" spot wasn't exactly an exclusive club... Henshaw was no. 871 in a series of God-knows-how-many.
What's changed since 2015 is that in May 2016 Henshaw self-released another four-track EP. And what worries me now is that since that EP 18 months ago, there's been no sign of him – no updates to his official web page or social media (his Twitter account since then has simply been retweets), no news of new recordings or gigs... it appears that Henshaw has given up making music again, and that the Lovebox appearance may well be the highlight of his solo career. Which is a shame, but if that's the case, he doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Richard3120 ( talk) 18:45, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and salt as above, doesn't pass our music guidelines any more now than in 2010 or 2013 etc. Clearly his apex was putting in an appearance at the Lovebox 2010 festival, which does sound impressive at a glance, but note that according to the offical site there were over 200 acts that year and Henshaw didn't even warrant a mention on the poster, not even in the tiny print. In any case, 7 years later nothing came of it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:52, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete if you remove the namedropping that dominated the lead you'll be left with one (interview) sources that merely confirms he's musician. Refs 7,8, and 9 reported about festivals per set, with passing mention. Likewise the remaining refs about tour here and there and self relating EPs. All these and lack of corroborating new sources shows he clearly fails WP:MUSICBIO and lacks the significant coverage enough to meet WP:GNG. Perhaps in the future.  —  Ammarpad ( talk) 09:53, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply

All BLP articles have to be sourced, I am not basing my deletion nomination solely on the lack of sources but as a national archive director it is unlikely that there will be in-depth coverage of this person. This is not the sort of public position that generates much coverage in any country that would go towards proving notability.

I saw that David Ferriero and Jeff James (public servant) notability comes precisely from their archives managing role. Both articles are less sourced than this one.

But, whatever, I do not care as it seems to be a bias against Albanians who are only notable in Albania (some days ago a page i created for the rector of the biggest university in albania was attacked for the same reasoning).

  • Hello Batternut, hope you're doing well. I noticed that Greater Johannesburg is officially defined and delineated by the South African Government. [27] [28] It has clearly defined TLC/TRC and district council codes. This seems a Keep to me per WP:GEOLAND, being a legally defined place. Perhaps you might not have seen these government sources; would you be able to consider withdrawing your nomination if these sources satisfy you? Warmly, Lourdes 03:59, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • comment - thanks Lourdes for an interesting point: that "Greater Johannesburg" was a definition used only in the 1996 census, and by the transitional Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council (GJMC) during its brief existence from 1995 to 2000 (see Johannesburg#Government). If its notability rests on that definition it cannot be correct for the article to actually be about a different area, encompassing East Rand and West Rand. I would agree to a re-purposing the article to the 1996-2000 definition. The citation problem the article currently has could then be dealt with. Batternut ( talk) 12:15, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Batternut, thanks for the reply. I'm not an expert in the geography of South Africa. While you're mentioning that this definition was used only in the 1996 census, I have seen government links like this which refer to the Greater Johannesburg area as recent as August 2017. But I'll go by what you're saying, as long as you use reliable sourcing within the article. You can reposition the contents of the article to correctly represent what Greater Johannesburg encompassed (or encompasses). As the area has been recognized by the government, notability is established per WP:GEOLAND. I'll leave it to your discretion to modify the contents as such. If you would wish to consider withdrawing your nomination, then it would be good if you could leave a note at the top of this discussion for the closing editor. Warmly, Lourdes 14:02, 14 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Batternut, I'm not clear how my sources could make you reach the conclusion you are mentioning. If you could provide any reliable source that supports your inference, I'll be open to changing my view. The Department of Water Affairs, Republic of South Africa's 2011 report on water certification mentions Greater Johannesburg is a part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (see page 17 of their 2011 report). A plain reading perhaps would suggest that the Municipality you suggest is much larger than the Greater Johannesburg area, but not the same. Like I said, if you have any sources that clearly show that these both are the same, then I'll change my !vote. Therefore, in my opinion, there are three options here for consideration:
  1. We keep the article titled Greater Johannesburg and stick to exactly what the government and other reliable sources mention about Greater Johannesburg.
  2. We keep the article but rename it to the "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area". (The article says Greater Johannesburg is also knowns as "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area". There are innumerable recent reliable sources mentioning this area. For example, this government paper defining the area's provincial spatial development framework says, "[...] the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area [is] (the industrial heartland of South Africa, including Tshwane and the City of Johannesburg)". This book says, "Witwatersrand also denotes the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area, which spans the length of the gold-bearing reef.").
  3. We redirect the article to your target, if you can provide sources that clarify that these two areas are the same.
If you can provide the sources, that would be wonderful; else, we stick to the first two options. Warmly, Lourdes 03:31, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Sorry for the delay - I'd love to find some output from the 1996 census online, but have so far failed. The conterminous region theory stems particularly from "Final-term report" (PDF). City of Johannesburg. 12 January 2007. p. 22, ch 1. (a citation I put into Johannesburg#Government recently). Page 22 describes absorbing the MLCs plus Midrand Modderfontein, but Kempton Park confuses me, it might have been split up, I've seen it mentioned in both Joburg and East Rand. Btw the book Lourdes mentioned cites Wikipedia so must be discounted. I'll get back here again very soon. Batternut ( talk) 15:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • option 1 - the 1996 census TLC (Transitory Local Council) list provides a difficult snapshot to work with - it defined "Greater Johannesburg" in terms of the transitory MLC's that existed for only 5 years. Most government and other RS is about the "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area"/"Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council", which does provide some maps. The current City of Johannesburg MM is clearly a reforming of the GJMC with some boundary changes - indeed changes that take it closer to the 1996 TLC list, though not precisely. Other mostly non-official sources though have used the term "Greater Johannesburg" meaning the Rand / the Reef / Witwatersrand (in its widest sense).
  • option 2 - actually relatively few official mentions of "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area", only 16 for site:gov.za, compared with Durban about 65 or Cape Town about 641. All of the gov.za results I have seen are tangential, non-defining.
  • option 3 - the 1996 Census TLC list suggests some differences between the definition then and the current City of Jo'burg municipality. However, civic boundaries often vary over time without wikipedia having new articles for each version.
I think what this period saw was a slow-motion concretisation of definition of a new and wider metro to replace the old apartheid city. I see this five year period as the history of the birth of the current City of Johannesburg MM. Building a separate article (options 1) on "Greater Johannesburg" will amount largely to a summary of the history of current City of Johannesburg MM, probably with the addition of a selection of non-official interpretations along the lines of the wider Witwatersrand / PWV / most of Gauteng meanings, amounting to a rather unsatisfactory disambiguation page.
Btw, I think it would be best keep just a passing reference to GJMC in Johannesburg#Government, moving most GJMC stuff to City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality#History or possibly History of Johannesburg. Batternut ( talk) 12:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Ok. I appreciate the time you've taken to analyze and research. Unfortunately, unless you are able to find reliable sources supporting the interpretations you're giving, these inferences should not be included on Wikipedia. You say: "All of the gov.za results I have seen are tangential, non-defining." The sources I've given above define the area of Greater Johannesburg precisely, providing district and region information. Your inference perhaps is also that the number of government sources mentioning "Greater Johannesburg" is less than the number of sources mentioning other areas. That's not a critical parameter; as long as multiple sources do legally define the area, which in this case they do. I respect your opinions above, but as there are no sources to support your interpretations, I would finally prefer sticking to the first two options I have provided above. Thanks again for the effort taken out in this discussion. It has been a learning experience. I hope to work with you on other articles too. Warmly, Lourdes 13:03, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Let us look closely at the sources you have provided:
  • 1996 census TLC, DCcodes - a list transitional councils disbanded 4 years later.
  • this (SARS contacts) - non-defining, but Lists Greater Johannesburg area amongst other areas Gauteng South; East Rand; West Rand and Gauteng north (including Centurion and Pretoria), therefore pretty well constrains Greater Johannesburg to a space the shape of City of Johannesburg MM (OR of course).
  • DWA 2011 report - non-defining, though the one mention, "Greater Johannesburg : City of Johannesburg MM" on p18, merely suggestive of a relationship;
  • SPISYS - one mention, "Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area (the industrial heartland of South Africa, including Tshwane and the City of Johannesburg" hardly defining, and actually written by the "Dennis Moss Partnership", conflicts flatly with the others
  • This book - says "by Quelle Wikipedia", therefore cyclic ref, must ignore.
The TLC list is the only RS with any precision (so far...). As mentioned, definitions that were dropped by the next census. Do we really want a "Greater Johannesburg" article nailed to a transitional snapshot of boundaries used in 1996? Cities always change over time. Batternut ( talk) 15:15, 16 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Cities may change over time but I took the time to go through Google Scholar and Google News sources. I realized that there are many academic and news reports post year 1998-99 that continue to refer to "Greater Johannesburg". [29] For example, this publication of LSE and University of Cape Town notes: "Greater Johannesburg is a city of about 3 million people but is part of a conurbation comprising a population of something closer to 8 million which includes...", [30] Many articles also have "Greater Johannesburg" in their titles, for example: "In-migration and Living Conditions of Young Adolescents in Greater Johannesburg, South Africa", [31] "The question of road traffic congestion and decongestion in the greater Johannesburg area", [32] "The impact of gated communities on spatial transformation in the Greater Johannesburg area", [33] etc. The Independent Online writes: "By comparison, the average in greater Johannesburg, comprising the City of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni metros...". Financial Times carried a feature in May 2017 titled: "Investing in Gauteng: Greater Johannesburg". [34] Political parties like ANC specifically refer to "Greater Johannesburg". [35] This 1999 book is titled "Historical Dictionary of Greater Johannesburg ". [36] The review of this book also addresses Greater Johannesburg. [37] What I'm trying to mention is that in scholarly sources, news reports, popular culture etc, the terminology of "Greater Johannesburg" has continued quite strongly. Add to this you have mentioned above that your inference that Greater Johannesburg area is the same as the municipality may be original research ("...City of Johannesburg MM (OR of course)". Further, a "municipality" is an administrative body, while a "region" is a geographic mass. Equating the two seems illogical. Then there is actually no other option but to keep the article.

  • Keep: Clearly a distinct geographic entity relative to the other Johannesburg pages mentioned here (overlapping, but distinct). A natural geographic term that is frequently used in sources (per Lourdes). A page discussing the region is appropriate. Lourdes' arguments are clear and seem valid. So far as I can see, Batternut's arguments seem to involve a lot of muddying of the water (eg, lots of detailed points that turn out to be wrong or irrelevant to the larger point) and dubious inferences. I don't have the patience of the Lourdes to go through and rebut in detail. Power-enwiki says redirect to Johannesburg, but offers no reasons. I'm agnostic about whether to add "Metropolitan Area" to the page title (discussed as an option by Lourdes). Either way, one name would be the page title (eg, Greater Johannesburg) and the other should be a redirect (eg, Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area). -- Gpc62 ( talk) 01:17, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    • I said redirect because this is a two-paragraph article with no content that gives no indication this is a commonly-used term (the references barely use the term) and the Johannesburg article already discusses the full metropolitan area and not just the city proper. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 04:06, 24 November 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Sorry, but none of the links Lourdes found above seems to define an area called "Greater Johannesburg". Google news and scholar also find lots of hits for "Downtown Johannesburg" and "Central Johannesburg" (more news in fact). I don't think we particularly need articles on them. Redirects perhaps...

  • Keep when I accepted this article at AFC I thought the sourcing was a bit weak but seeing the size of the company and its history I was sure there were sources out there and it would survive an AFD. I had a quick look and found these [38], [39] where it is mentioned as being in the same league as Kickstart, GoFundMe and Indiegogo. There are other sources out there such as [40]. Domdeparis ( talk) 11:27, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete sorry, all the sourcing here doesn't pass the guidelines of WP:ORG or is excluded per WP:SPIP. Domdeparis was fine to accept this from AfC, the standard there is a 50% chance of survival at AfD, but unfortunately I think we have to go with delete here. The sourcing he showed above doesn't meet our standards: source 1 is a part of a list, which we consider routine coverage in corporate/company AfDs. Source 2 from Crux is sponsored content (i.e. an actual advertisement and not just a recycled press release). Source three is also a list, but on top of that it is from Mashable, which we don't consider a reliable source for the purposes of establishing notability. Nothing in the article is independent and non-PR sourcing. Unfortunately, this company is not a notable subject. TonyBallioni ( talk) 19:11, 15 November 2017 (UTC) reply

@ Piotrus: Thanks for the advice Piotr but as Tony said there are a certain amount of articles that we accept that will not survive a deletion discussion. And just to put this into perspective my AFD stats stand at a success rate of 80.6% for 390 discussions and if you ignore the no consensus I am at 85.7%. Of those 390 I nominated 276 pages with a 78% deletion rate and ignoring the no consensus this goes up to 83.5% success rate, so I think I will continue to trust my own judgement.

  • Delete the article as it stands literally has no sources. We require coverage. Being a novelisationist/writer of books that are part of a large media franchise, is not the type of thing that makes someone default notable, and unless the books spawn the media franchise, instead of being part of a system that has already started and they are spawned by popularity elsewhere, meaning that the authors are not the originators of most of the intelectual content, the people writing them are probably not notable.

I had a look but couldn't find anything easily myself.

The result was delete. Three users have advanced "keep" arguments, among whom only one has produced sources in support.

  • Delete - It's not enough for something to be the oldest "something" - there must also be media sources covering the group to meet Wikipedia guidelines. I visited the Morgunblaðið site and searched for TBR [ [41]], but the only coverage I can find appears to be match results. I also went to Fréttablaðið to search for TBR [ [42]]. Same thing - just routine match results. This is what you'd see in the local news coverage of a local paper. What we'd like to see in order to demonstrate notability is in depth coverage of the group itself. If indeed it is the largest club in Iceland one would expect to see some coverage to that effect, and also some coverage outside the country in foreign publications. This article is so short now that there's no harm in deleting it - if any sources come up and anyone takes an interest, it can be recreated with more meat. It has been in this same sparse condition for almost 13 years. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:17, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep As stated, it is a fairly old club so older sources could be difficult to find. For older Icelandic news, timarit.is is a good source. However, the search in older issues is not perfect (Looks like they automaticaly scanned the words in the papers, it doesn't always work as some letters are wrong). To complicate it a bit more, you also have to search for either the full Icelandic name (Tenn­is- og badm­int­on­fé­lag Reykja­vík­ur) or the short version (TBR). Still, a 5 minutes search turned up some sources. Like this one from 1964 (Page 5 and 9). Another from 1964 (Starts on page 5, continues on page 8). From 1966.

  • Comment It seems bizarre that we are wasting time debating - and trawling up little-more than passing historic mentions (one being a book-review of the club's primary-source publication) only by virtue of modern facilities - keeping something on En Wiki that does not appear on Is Wiki?. Those of you with Chrome may do better than me trying to copy/paste, then machine-translate, the scanned .pdf text. It all smacks of Law of Diminishing Returns.

    If it's so important to some editors, instead of insisting on keeping as-is, think about redirect/merge - a few lines only without the infobox - to Reykjavík#Sports teams? This make more sense?

  • Keep: I've since added a further two obviously reliable sources, which are not simply rehashes of the earlier material. The article in The Express Tribune is non-trivial (she is one of two artists discussed, although in less detail than the first). The second article from Public Radio International is about her reaction to the death of Junaid Jamshed, although the article title doesn't make that obvious. It obvious from the first line of the article however, which reads "Growing up, musician Rutaba Yaqub loved listening to Junaid Jamshed.". So that now makes four obviously reliable sources, although two of those four are about roughly the same thing (just with different details).

I see it meeting the very first criteria "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." There's now three/four references that meet that, which covers the "multiple" part. As for in-depth coverage, that isn't a requirement under Wikipedia:Notability (music). I've had a look, and the only mention of in depth coverage related to notability is for WP:INDEPTH, which is in relation to individual events, not biographies. The requirement there is "multiple", not in-depth. Miyagawa ( talk) 08:56, 22 November 2017 (UTC) reply

One big unsourced ball of fandom listcruft. It has been tagged as badly sourced since 2010 and has gone through two AfDs in that time, without improvement. There is no useful value to this list (voice actors are commonplace and we have categories to list them). The detail in this list is excessive, as there is negligible sourcing. It certainly has no value beyond listing the actor names, as a category would do better.

I'm prompted to list this because of this edit, a persistent vandal today dumping another similar 3k block of unsourced, unverifiable BLP. Yet it's not actually any worse than what's here already. We can't polish this, so we should flush it. Andy Dingley ( talk) 03:02, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Category:Voice actors. I know it's cross-categorization, but that's a good way to deal with thousands of entries, and can apply WP:CATDEF as to who is really a voice actor and who just had a bit voice-over role in whatever, the latter of which is pretty much everyone who's been an actor. If you skim through Lists of actors, you'll see a good chunk of them as redirecting to categories. Maintaining a list of "well, what were they in?" is not useful.

  • Redirect to Category:Voice actors per AngusWOOF. It's cross-namespace, but R2 doesn't cover this type of redirect. While long lists like this can't be controlled as easy, the category can just as well work as additions on the articles in question would need to be sourced anyway. jd22292 (Jalen D.

  • Delete. List is too broad in scope to be useful, because there are simply too many people who have worked as voice actors, too many editors who think every voice actor who exists gets an automatic notability freebie regardless of their sourceability (further adding a constant ebb and flow of additions and removals), and too many people who get added here on the basis of having once voiced a two-line cameo on The Simpsons without ever having had a regular voice-acting role at all, for this to be a maintainable list. Redirecting to a category is never a useful thing to do with a list title, either — for one thing, voice actors are subcategorized by nationality and gender, so there are exactly zero people filed directly in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Voice actors at all. So a person typing this title into the search bar won't actually end up at any actual list. Bearcat ( talk) 23:42, 25 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia is WP:NOT a collection of indiscriminate information, such as detailed lists of podcast episodes. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 02:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep You cannot delete an episode description page on an "indiscriminate information basis." The episode list is useful for people who want to know a bit about the show without having to leave Wikipedia to find it in the iTunes store or their page, then find the episode description list, then find what they want. It is easy access. Furthermore, on the basis of the previous attempt to do this, the fact it is a talk show doesn't work against it as List of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episodes exists as an episode description page for a talk show. There can't be multiple standards for the pages. If it is off the main page, as not to clutter it, then what exactly is the problem? UnknownM1 ( talk) 15:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Looking at the history of the Podcast page, this was on a rollback because the editor of that page thought that listing the episodes was "messy." Yet this is valid information, compiled in a standard Wikipedia reference form for the purpose. It should be on the primary page Hello_Internet and User:Daniel Rigal should not have reversed it.

  • Speedy delete as copyright infringement of episode list on iTunes. (Tagged)
I do not take kindly to my talk page comments being misrepresented. I did not use the word "messy" in either an edit summary or a talk page comment. What I actually said on the talk page was:

"I removed the list because it seemed to be copied directly from iTunes or from Hello Internet itself. We don't want a lot of content copied from other sources but what we can do is link to it instead."

That was me being nice, pointing out that we can't plagiarise other sources listings in a gentle way and being nice by adding a link to the full episode list under External links. I know that no good deed goes unpunished but I am not taking a trouting for this!
Now, this is me being slightly less nice, but not unreasonably so: The podcast teeters on the edge of being notable enough for an article. It falls just the right side of the line for a single article. It does not justify a stand alone episode list (like a highly notable TV show can do) or a walled garden of additional articles. Copyright issues aside, it does not offer the readers any advantage to look at a list of episodes on Wikipedia instead of on iTunes or HI's own website (which I linked to under External links). The "Tims" can put what they like on their own Wiki (and take the consequences if it turns out to be somebody else's copyright) but Wikipedia is not free web hosting for fansites. -- DanielRigal ( talk) 19:54, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I feel like I've done a decent job of stating facts objectively and without puffery; however, I do concede that I haven't included enough opposing viewpoints, and I'm working to fix that. As for notability, I feel strongly that Pureval meets WP:GNG for significant coverage in reliable sources. Of particular note are the Daily Kos piece ( [48]), this coverage in AdAge (I haven't yet added his Aftab/Aflac campaign advertising to the article), and the lengthy Cincinnati profile ( [49]). He has also received significant local coverage beyond what is normally expected for the oft-ignored clerk of courts position -- compare the sources available on Google for " aftab pureval" vs those for his predecessor, " tracy winkler". - IagoQnsi ( talk) 02:42, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Clerk of courts at the county level is not a notability criterion that would get a person into Wikipedia under WP:NPOL, but the sourcing here is not making a strong case that he could be considered more notable than the norm. It's an office whose holders would simply be expected to generate some coverage in their county's own local media, so local coverage isn't enough to demonstrate notability by itself — to consider a person at this level of office notable enough for an article, we would require evidence that he was getting nationalized coverage beyond just Cincinnati media alone, thereby making him more notable than most other clerks of courts in most other counties. The fact that he may be more visible within Cincy than his predecessor was isn't the make-or-break condition in and of itself — the determing factor is whether or not his prominence can be shown as significantly wider (i.e. statewide or national) than most other court clerks could claim. But the only evidence of that being shown here is Daily Kos, which is not a notability-supporting source because it's a user-generated activist blog, not a media outlet. Bearcat ( talk) 17:52, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Alright, I concede; I made a mistake here. I had read WP:NPOL before writing the article, but I hadn't read WP:POLOUTCOMES, so I didn't realize that meeting WP:GNG isn't sufficient for local politicians if the sources are almost entirely local. Mea culpa. (However, I am gonna hang on to a copy of the article, because I think it's pretty likely that he'll become notable in the future). - IagoQnsi ( talk) 19:18, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep distinguished chair at a research university. It means he passes PROF, and its been worked on by other editors to try to make it comply with our guidelines.

So we're happy to take this on the basis of only a job title and a TV credit? This is supposedly an academic biography, yet there isn't even a publications list.

So what is his "rank"? The infobox claims "Distinguished professor", but the staff list states "University professor".

A University Professorship is a specific professorship given to academics with the rank of distinguished professor at some North American universities.

  • Weak keep. "Distinguished Professor" generally means someone with well-above-ordinary scholarship, and "University Professor" sometimes means something similar (at my campus it is like Distinguished Professor but even more rarefied). But at Arkansas it seems to mean someone with extraordinary contributions to service rather than to scholarship. So I don't think this is quite what we usually expect in WP:PROF#C5. Instead, in this case, it appears to be evidence of WP:PROF#C7, "substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity", presumably for his general-audience work on Petra. — David Eppstein ( talk) 03:06, 21 November 2017 (UTC) reply

IMHE (which is UK) someone with a "distinguished chair" would be titled as holding the "Zoidberg Chair in Psychoceramics" or similar. I can see no such description.
