This is a list of bit characters on Sesame Street. Such a level of detail is overly in-depth for a general encyclopedia, as the general reader isn't going to search for the actor behind "Harvey Kneeslapper's Fat Blue Victim 2." That is something best left to Wikia, while List of Sesame Street Muppets deals with those that are notable enough for general coverage. TTN ( talk) 23:00, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: I personally dislike lists for the sake of lists, and that's what this list is. I believe that this kind of WP:TRIVIA and WP:FANCRUFT doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, but better belongs on Muppet Wikia, which is a great resource and has its place. Also, this list has one reference, and I doubt that it would be possible to find sources to support the existence of most of the items here.

  • Delete - per nom, player has not played in a fully professional league, nor played senior international football or appears to have garnered significant, reliable coverage for any other achievements.

Keep. I was under the impression that notability is not language specific. The individual appears to be notable in Kazakhstan which should be sufficient. I would suggest translation from Kazakh wikipedia.-- Flaming Ferrari ( talk) 19:39, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Question Do all non-English wikis have the same standards as the English language one? If so that might be an argument, especially if there are RS sources attached. Though I hasten to note that there are a lot of articles on our own wiki that should not be here. So it's not conclusive. But unless the existence of a corresponding article on another wiki confers a presumption of notability, I am leaning towards delete. At present it doesn't seem to meet our standards. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 20:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Wait. This article is not even a month old. A dedicated editor could translate the original native article for this one. There are ways to ask for help in doing so, more than the expand template. If that is not done, nor if the article is not further sourced or expanded, then it should be deleted for non-notability. — Wylie pedia 08:13, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Looking at the Wikipedia embassy, I was able to find a single editor, not currently active, who lists Kazakh, and I've left them a note.

  • Delete without prejudice to recreation of a more substantially referenced article. Existing source is inadequate for WP:BIO, but the Kazakh article has a lot more sources listed. I don't read a word of Kazakh, so I can't gauge the quality of these sources, so I'll leave that to a native speaker to try. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 10:36, 7 March 2014 (UTC). reply

Second iteration of an article which was deleted yesterday after a Speedy nom by me about 24 hours ago. The article is about an Aircraft spotting enthhusiasts' group that hangs around Chișinău International Airport (nothing wrong with that - I am in the habit of hanging around airports myself) and would likely be eligible for Speedy deletion again in several categories; but its creator has created it again, so here we are to gain a broader consensus. This article is firmly in the middle of What Wikipedia is not and comes nowhere near meeting the general notability guidelines. The first incarnation of the article featured what is there now, which is duplicating content at the Chișinău International Airport article, plus had a couple of sentences of explanatory text and a picture of the group's members (numbering 12 if I recall correctly) with a couple less photos of the group members at 'work' - more like a Yahoo Groups or a Facebook page. Wikipedia is not the place for this YSSYguy ( talk) 21:34, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

The article's creator has also left a messy trail of redirects as he has moved the article several times; regardless of the outcome of this debate (which I think might be a Snow delete before the end of the weekend, but we shall see), they should be deleted as serving no useful purpose. YSSYguy ( talk) 21:45, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

The article's creator has also removed the AfD notice from the article twice in the hour-and-a-quarter six times in the two hours since I posted it there; he seems to very much want to keep it, so if the outcome is delete it may have to be salted as well. YSSYguy ( talk) 22:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - interested to see what the creator might have to say about the existence (or not) of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. I very much doubt said coverage exists and the creator has now been blocked for disruption but should be back inside the 7 days for which this will run.

  • Delete. I remember coming across this when it was a PROD. My argument is still the same. This game hasn't received any coverage in reliable sources and everything I could find was done in non-reliable sources by people who look to have been involved with the game's creation and promotion. In other words, it's all blogs, forum posts, and similar. If it does gain coverage after it is released then it can be re-created, but not until then.

This does not establish notability independent of Rugrats through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources.

  • I don't really see how those provide significant coverage for the characters. All you've done is source a piece of primary information and the voice actor, and neither of the sources do more than outline the premise of the characters (and I really don't see how an ancient fan site is reliable in the first place).

  • Unfortunately, that was the best I could do with all the blocks the school put on this computer, but I figure that something's better than nothing.

Spam. Promotion, which was until recently [8] complete with happy snaps with celebrities, for Hartmans current ventures. This, like other adverts for Hartman related ventures, was built by single purpose accounts using Wikipedia for advertising around Matilda Media (eg Newzulu, Citizenside, Digital Museum of Australia, The Cracks). Hartman may be notable for Young Australian of the Year Award for Career Achievement and Amicus Software but this article just touches on those aspects and instead promotes and linkspams current projects. Sourcing is woeful, mainly just linkspamming to his projects, links to organisations websites and promotional pieces. This should be blown away.

  • Delete I encountered this article, but since it for some reason had no afd template, I did not realize this was at AfD, and simply placed a "News release" template on it. An ip editor removed it, and upon seeing that I decided to bring it here (only to find it was already here) , because I think it is too promotional for a WP article, considering also the very borderline notability. The combination of the two is a good reason for deletion. I especially note the extended discussion praising the work of one of the subjects companies. If someone wants to try to write a satisfactory article, they would need to start over -- after first reading and understanding WP:Reliable sources. I am not at all sure that even the best editing here could make an adequate case for notability , but it would have more of ca chance is this is totally removed to start with.
In particular, Young Australian of the Year is not a notable award. Probably half the recipients are not notable ,and the ones who are, are notable for the work they have done in later years, not the work they did when they were just starting out.

Happy to expand. For an organization to be notable and merit inclusion in WP requires that "it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." I've looked at all the sources cited right now. Citations like the BBB or press releases aren't reliable for this purpose - the BBB provides pages on a massive number of businesses in American and isn't "coverage", and press releases aren't independent. Other citations are blog posts or incidental mentions, not coverage of the corporation itself, which is what the policy requires. The only thing approaching coverage is the post on fusible.com about the domain selling for $40,000, but again, this isn't coverage of the organization itself, it's incidental coverage. As the WP:CORPDEPTH says, "brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business" aren't sufficient. These sources don't meet the requirements of WP:NOTRELIABLE. I've done my own searching, and I simply am coming up with nothing about this organization. Again, WP is not WP:PROMO, and right now this page doesn't seem to support inclusion. That's my thinking, but happy to hear your response on this and assist on article if you feel I am wrong. mikeman67 ( talk) 15:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Thank you for your response. I agree with you on sources as BBB. But if you take the other pages on the same topic, which for many years in the project such as: 75B, 8vo, AdamsMorioka, Airside, Mars Design, AirSpace Studio and other. I created it's certainly not worse. On many of them I found nothing. They all must be delete in this way. But they srill here in some reason.
I believe that such sources as Fusible.com, PRweb.com, Virtual-Strategy Magazine and Mashable.com can provide the necessary coverage. Perhaps the text may look like WP:PROMO - but if you help me, I remade it in neutral. And I still would like to try to modify the article so that she would not have been removed as well.

The only well-sourced facts in this article are about Lance Armstrong, the Lance Armstrong doping case, and the Livestrong Foundation. There are no cited facts about the wristbands, even though this is purportedly an article about the wristbands themselves. The wristbands have not been the subject of significant coverage. The wristbands are incidental to the vastly more notable subjects listed above. Or, in short, these yellow bands do not inherit notability from Armstrong, his Foundation, or the doping scandal, per WP:NOTINHERITED. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 00:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment ( talk) Do you not consider the price of each wristband,the symbolism behind the color, as well as the number of wristbands sold, facts? Also, I believe the doping scandal is an important aspect of the article because it provides background information of the person responsible for their creation. I think that we could add some substance to the article, but shouldn't delete it completely. If you think about how often these are seen on a daily basis, surely people will be curious enough to search what the wristbands are for. Adamh4 ( talk) 21:58, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply
So we need a whole separate article to say they sold 80 million wristbrands for a dollar each, and they're yellow like the yellow jersey? It's one sentence. And still, all three facts are unsourced. If anyone does track down the citations, they can go in some other article.

If you have the sources to add substance to the article -- sources about the wristbands -- now is the time to identify them. You don't have to fix the article now, but if sources exist they're the only thing that can save the article from deletion. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 21:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply

There doesn't seem to be any source indicating that the Livestrong Wristband was a copy of another silicone wristband campaign. So far this (and another source [14]) point to this wristband being the one that sparked imitators.-- Oakshade ( talk) 16:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC) reply
We actually have a whole separate article on gel bracelets which incorrectly suggests the Livestrong bands were the first silicone bracelets and mis-attributes this to the NYT. But importunately, the article descibes an urban legend that spread one year before the Livestrong bracelets, concerning teenagers wearing "sex bracelets" in Florida, Illinois, etc. Note that "jelly bracelets" were "First made popular by Madonna and other pop stars in the 1980s," twenty years before the Livestrong promotion.

The idea that this fashion accessory traces its roots to Lance Armstrong is recentism. We really don't need gel bracelet and Livestrong wristband and Livestrong Foundation. What's the point of spreading such thin material so far and wide of so many articles? Not to mention Memorial Bracelets and POW bracelet; an even larger scale merge is probably appropriate. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 16:36, 26 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. All other graduate schools of the University of Pennsylvania (many of less prestige than the school in question) have similarly written articles. Furthermore, as one of the leading Social Work schools (citation added), this school is particularly relevant and worthy of being the subject of an article. Other secondary sources have been added to improve the quality of the article.

Drummer14cnr, there simply isn't any indication that this business is anything more than a run of the mill local business, and the article looks like advertising, which goes against our strong policy spelled out at WP:NOTADVERTISING. Wikipedia doesn't collect articles on routine local businesses. You asked above if it is "really this hard to contribute to Wikipedia". The answer is that we welcome and try to encourage new editors, but the contributions need to be about topics that actually belong here. For example, in the article for Red Deer, Alberta, I noted that the city has at least three sizable high schools, only one of which currently has an article (and that one is scanty). Red Deer's three high schools are examples of worthwhile subjects for this encyclopedia; the Lotus Nightclub isn't. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 17:10, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Identity may change with time, and some groups in the list may no longer identify themselves as Jats."

  • Delete This clearly is a WP:NOT case as a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. Per WP:NOT, "Cross-categories ... are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon" and I don'f find it such. As cited in nom the lead of the article itself says how vague the content of the article are. And same is true for some other similar articles, that I suggest should be considered in this AfD:

  • Question Do all non-English wikis have the same standards as the English language one? If so that might be an argument, especially if there are RS sources attached. Though I hasten to note that there are a lot of articles on our own wiki that should not be here. So it's not conclusive. But unless the existence of a corresponding article on another wiki confers a presumption of notability, I am leaning towards delete. At present it doesn't seem to meet our standards. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 20:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Second iteration of an article which was deleted yesterday after a Speedy nom by me about 24 hours ago. The article is about an Aircraft spotting enthhusiasts' group that hangs around Chișinău International Airport (nothing wrong with that - I am in the habit of hanging around airports myself) and would likely be eligible for Speedy deletion again in several categories; but its creator has created it again, so here we are to gain a broader consensus. This article is firmly in the middle of What Wikipedia is not and comes nowhere near meeting the general notability guidelines. The first incarnation of the article featured what is there now, which is duplicating content at the Chișinău International Airport article, plus had a couple of sentences of explanatory text and a picture of the group's members (numbering 12 if I recall correctly) with a couple less photos of the group members at 'work' - more like a Yahoo Groups or a Facebook page. Wikipedia is not the place for this YSSYguy ( talk) 21:34, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

The article's creator has also left a messy trail of redirects as he has moved the article several times; regardless of the outcome of this debate (which I think might be a Snow delete before the end of the weekend, but we shall see), they should be deleted as serving no useful purpose.

  • I don't really see how those provide significant coverage for the characters. All you've done is source a piece of primary information and the voice actor, and neither of the sources do more than outline the premise of the characters (and I really don't see how an ancient fan site is reliable in the first place).

Spam. Promotion, which was until recently [8] complete with happy snaps with celebrities, for Hartmans current ventures. This, like other adverts for Hartman related ventures, was built by single purpose accounts using Wikipedia for advertising around Matilda Media (eg Newzulu, Citizenside, Digital Museum of Australia, The Cracks). Hartman may be notable for Young Australian of the Year Award for Career Achievement and Amicus Software but this article just touches on those aspects and instead promotes and linkspams current projects. Sourcing is woeful, mainly just linkspamming to his projects, links to organisations websites and promotional pieces. This should be blown away. Improve Wikipedia by getting rid of spam, stop rewarding bad faith editing.

  • Delete I encountered this article, but since it for some reason had no afd template, I did not realize this was at AfD, and simply placed a "News release" template on it. An ip editor removed it, and upon seeing that I decided to bring it here (only to find it was already here) , because I think it is too promotional for a WP article, considering also the very borderline notability. The combination of the two is a good reason for deletion. I especially note the extended discussion praising the work of one of the subjects companies. If someone wants to try to write a satisfactory article, they would need to start over -- after first reading and understanding WP:Reliable sources. I am not at all sure that even the best editing here could make an adequate case for notability , but it would have more of ca chance is this is totally removed to start with.
In particular, Young Australian of the Year is not a notable award. Probably half the recipients are not notable ,and the ones who are, are notable for the work they have done in later years, not the work they did when they were just starting out.

A business and entrepreneur for the likes of Newzulu, Citizenside, Digital Museum of Australia and Matilda Media? Where is the evidence of appointment by Abbot to these several notable bodies? It appears Hartman was on Australian Story talking about himself (not independent coverage about him) but the link supported does not support the claim he was on 60 minutes and if he was we don't know the nature of that appearance. Both Australian story and talkbalk provided related to 60 minutes occurred around the time of Young Australian of the Year Award for Career Achievement and Amicus Software, both of which this advert puts aside to focus on his new endeavors.

Happy to expand. For an organization to be notable and merit inclusion in WP requires that "it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability." I've looked at all the sources cited right now. Citations like the BBB or press releases aren't reliable for this purpose - the BBB provides pages on a massive number of businesses in American and isn't "coverage", and press releases aren't independent. Other citations are blog posts or incidental mentions, not coverage of the corporation itself, which is what the policy requires. The only thing approaching coverage is the post on fusible.com about the domain selling for $40,000, but again, this isn't coverage of the organization itself, it's incidental coverage. As the WP:CORPDEPTH says, "brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business" aren't sufficient. These sources don't meet the requirements of WP:NOTRELIABLE. I've done my own searching, and I simply am coming up with nothing about this organization. Again, WP is not WP:PROMO, and right now this page doesn't seem to support inclusion. That's my thinking, but happy to hear your response on this and assist on article if you feel I am wrong. mikeman67 ( talk) 15:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Thank you for your response. I agree with you on sources as BBB. But if you take the other pages on the same topic, which for many years in the project such as: 75B, 8vo, AdamsMorioka, Airside, Mars Design, AirSpace Studio and other. I created it's certainly not worse. On many of them I found nothing. They all must be delete in this way. But they srill here in some reason.
I believe that such sources as Fusible.com, PRweb.com, Virtual-Strategy Magazine and Mashable.com can provide the necessary coverage. Perhaps the text may look like WP:PROMO - but if you help me, I remade it in neutral. And I still would like to try to modify the article so that she would not have been removed as well.

  • Delete Unfortunately, the ed. is correct that some of their other work also has similar problems. In fact, so do at least have the articles in the category. I've listed 2 or 3 of the very worst for speedy, and tried to reduce the promotionalism of some of those that appear salvageable and clearly notable. That leaves a large group in the middle that will need to be dealt with. As others have noticed in various places, it must be more than a coincidence that articles of firms in the advertising and PR industries tend themselves to be rather promotional.

The only well-sourced facts in this article are about Lance Armstrong, the Lance Armstrong doping case, and the Livestrong Foundation. There are no cited facts about the wristbands, even though this is purportedly an article about the wristbands themselves. The wristbands have not been the subject of significant coverage. The wristbands are incidental to the vastly more notable subjects listed above. Or, in short, these yellow bands do not inherit notability from Armstrong, his Foundation, or the doping scandal, per WP:NOTINHERITED. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 00:11, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment ( talk) Do you not consider the price of each wristband,the symbolism behind the color, as well as the number of wristbands sold, facts? Also, I believe the doping scandal is an important aspect of the article because it provides background information of the person responsible for their creation. I think that we could add some substance to the article, but shouldn't delete it completely. If you think about how often these are seen on a daily basis, surely people will be curious enough to search what the wristbands are for. Adamh4 ( talk) 21:58, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply
So we need a whole separate article to say they sold 80 million wristbrands for a dollar each, and they're yellow like the yellow jersey? It's one sentence. And still, all three facts are unsourced. If anyone does track down the citations, they can go in some other article.

If you have the sources to add substance to the article -- sources about the wristbands -- now is the time to identify them. You don't have to fix the article now, but if sources exist they're the only thing that can save the article from deletion. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 21:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Even the Arstrong doping articles give significant coverage to the wristbands.

That seems to depend on the assumption that the Livestrong was the first of the, now many, silicone wristbands. Is this really supportable and sourced? If so, I'd agree that keeping it as an independent article would be justified, but is this true? Andy Dingley ( talk) 23:18, 25 February 2014 (UTC) reply
From the book Pride-Ferrell Foundations of Marketing - "A common adage holds that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and the yellow wristband campaign quickly spawned a host of imitators in support of other causes." [13] -- Oakshade ( talk) 06:47, 26 February 2014 (UTC) reply
Is it the first though? Or was the Livestrong silicone band itself copying another (possibly obscure) silicone campaign wristband? Andy Dingley ( talk) 10:33, 26 February 2014 (UTC) reply
There doesn't seem to be any source indicating that the Livestrong Wristband was a copy of another silicone wristband campaign. So far this (and another source [14]) point to this wristband being the one that sparked imitators.-- Oakshade ( talk) 16:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC) reply
We actually have a whole separate article on gel bracelets which incorrectly suggests the Livestrong bands were the first silicone bracelets and mis-attributes this to the NYT. But importunately, the article descibes an urban legend that spread one year before the Livestrong bracelets, concerning teenagers wearing "sex bracelets" in Florida, Illinois, etc. Note that "jelly bracelets" were "First made popular by Madonna and other pop stars in the 1980s," twenty years before the Livestrong promotion.

The idea that this fashion accessory traces its roots to Lance Armstrong is recentism. We really don't need gel bracelet and Livestrong wristband and Livestrong Foundation. What's the point of spreading such thin material so far and wide of so many articles? Not to mention Memorial Bracelets and POW bracelet; an even larger scale merge is probably appropriate. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 16:36, 26 February 2014 (UTC) reply

Drummer14cnr, there simply isn't any indication that this business is anything more than a run of the mill local business, and the article looks like advertising, which goes against our strong policy spelled out at WP:NOTADVERTISING. Wikipedia doesn't collect articles on routine local businesses. You asked above if it is "really this hard to contribute to Wikipedia". The answer is that we welcome and try to encourage new editors, but the contributions need to be about topics that actually belong here. For example, in the article for Red Deer, Alberta, I noted that the city has at least three sizable high schools, only one of which currently has an article (and that one is scanty). Red Deer's three high schools are examples of worthwhile subjects for this encyclopedia; the Lotus Nightclub isn't. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 17:10, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

my mistake, definitely meant to say keep. LibStar ( talk) 02:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, recipient of a notable award. Also, found sustained independent and substantial coverage, including from Landline, ABC Radio, and a TV appearance on George Negus Tonight. Some of the coverage came years after he got the award in 2001, which would indicate that his notability is not based on that one event. Lankiveil ( speak to me) 10:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC). reply
  • Keep - the consensus on the other articles nominated is that the award is indeed notable. St Anselm ( talk) 11:14, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - sources identified by Lankiveil suggest the subject meets WP:N. Orderinchaos 16:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge or Redirect - While I feel that the Young Australian of the Year Award definitely does confer notability, there is little other information in this article. I think maybe merging to List of Young Australian of the Year Award recipients and expanding the table to allow the a blurb from information on this page would be a better option than outright deletion, unless someone is able to expand the article. Dfadden ( talk) 23:31, 1 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Merge or Delete without expansion. As the article currently stands, it does not establish notability. If someone wants to try expanding it with his current roles/jobs, then perhaps it would be different. But I don't think there should be an article on every Young Australian of the Year. A list (similar to the lists of alumni of schools) would make more sense. Enigma msg 18:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC) reply

Maybe a sentence could be added in the First Leeds article about the company (which appears to have been called Quickstep Travel), as the Quickstep brand was used for several years after acquisition (which was probably earlier than stated in the article).

What is the point of this, bearing in mind that the lead says "The appearance of a particular tribe as Jat in the list does not in itself confirm that the tribe is Jat or otherwise. Identity may change with time, and some groups in the list may no longer identify themselves as Jats." Also bear in mind that the 1911 census was not reliable, being subject to the huge misunderstandings resultant from the influence of H. H. Risley and other scientific racists. It's basically just a transcription of a primary source. Sitush ( talk) 01:43, 27 February 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This clearly is a WP:NOT case as a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. Per WP:NOT, "Cross-categories ... are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon" and I don'f find it such. As cited in nom the lead of the article itself says how vague the content of the article are. And same is true for some other similar articles, that I suggest should be considered in this AfD:
  1. Muslim Jat clans of Lahore Division
  2. Muslim Jat clans of Jalandhar Division
  3. Jat clans of Rawalpindi Division

I've looked at all the sources and they do not actually discuss any notable actual relations like signficant trade, agreements, military cooperation etc in depth. there's the usual Bangladesh has potential to be a trading partner without evidence of actual significant trading. 2 of the sources are from the same President's announcement.
