Mitzi - Google Scholar citations (specifically a measure called the
h-index) can be helpful for measuring the impact of some academics, but that's generally not true for mathematicians. They make their impact through textbooks and other activity. Although Ulmer's journal publication list seems long, almost none of the articles are well-cited by his peers (which is to be expected for mathematicians). For some other ways that academics meet notability guidelines, see
WP:PROF and especially the footnotes that go with each criterion there. I don't see any that are met right now.

@
SwisterTwister: Sure. The claim in the lede that the subject is "particularly known for his work on abelian varieties over global function fields" is OR; it's sourced only to the subject's publications.
WP:NACADEMIC requires anyone passing for their published works has to be "demonstrated by independent reliable sources" and we don't have that here. I don't buy Xxanthippe's claim (poorly worded and hard to understand) about being highly cited. Mathematics isn't my field. PROF mentions that there should be reviews in " Mathematical Reviews, also known as MathSciNet, and Zentralblatt MATH". Where are those? Mitzi makes a
WP:GHITS claim, which can be discounted. You've claimed that PROF rests on academics being highly cited (true) but how are we to know? Chris Troutman (

Xxanthippe (

Chris, you asked for an independent reliable source for his citations....and it's
GoogleScholar, exactly where they can be found by anyone; therefore WP:PROF itself counts GoogleScholar acceptable given it's where you find such materials. Reviews are not a single qualifier, the citations itself can be and GoogleScholar itself will actually elaborate about when, who, etc. OR cannot be applied when the publications are laid out like this, it only would be if there were no sources at all available.
SwisterTwistertalk 21:11, 29 June 2017 (UTC)reply
I think you are mistaken. GoogleScholar shows his work has been cited. It does not prove he is "highly cited" nor does it prove what he is known for. Deriving claims like that from primary sources is OR. Show me a secondary source that says the subject is "highly cited" or that they are know for some particular study. Those citations aren't present in the article; just a lot of nonsense claims about the fact being true with no proof that it is. Chris Troutman (
talk) 22:20, 29 June 2017 (UTC)reply
84 in a rarely cited field is itself significant for WP:PROF (that's how the field of scientific citations works) and since that's an independently operating Notability, nothing else is needed. "nonsense claims about the fact being true with no proof that it is" is inapplicable as long as it's sourced by facts. Since we would never say GoogleScholar is a primary source, it therefore is unacceptable to otherwise discount it. We would never ask an astronaut to otherwise give a secondary source about his firsthand space travels, so it's no different in here.

Keep as publications are sufficient for WP:PROF which is the qualifying factor here, not GNG or any other standard guideline which hasn't applied to academics or education itself. As with WP:PROF, we consider his own papers, especially when shown to be highly cited, to be the significance.

Comment. I had a go at cleaning this up in April. This is how I left the article (yes, not very good, I know, I now wish I'd done better). Since then an awful lot of nonsense has been added back. If that is distracting people, the page could perhaps be reverted to that imperfect bare-bones version to allow us (me included) to concentrate on the important question, his notability.
Justlettersandnumbers (

Reply to comment – The short version is significantly less distracting, in my opinion, since the longer one we currently have is full of redundancies. For example, "The American Mathematical Society has three PDF mathematical publications for Doug Ulmer on its own website"—which points to
a page of search-engine results, providing no new information beyond the fact that he has at least three journal publications. Being department chair and serving on the editorial board of
a journal count towards notability, but the travelogue of lectures and subsequent publications does not, since the latter is just what all academics are expected to do.
XOR'easter (

Addendum – Another example of what I mean: "He lectured on elliptic curves over function fields at the 2009 Park City Math Institute, and the lectures are archived at the Cornell University Library." This read, at first, like the Park City Math Institute was an event at Cornell and the lectures had been videotaped, but no, the
PCMI is in Utah, and "the lectures are archived at the Cornell University Library" just means that
he posted his notes to the
arXiv, which is hosted at Cornell. Everybody is on the arXiv! Likewise, a little later, notes that he wrote are said to be published "on the mathematics website of Stanford University", but this is really just a copy of
another arXiv posting included on the
reading list of a seminar course. The "Lectures, articles, editorial activity, and visiting professorships" section reads too much like PR written by an outsider to mathematics. This does not mean that Prof. Ulmer is undeserving of an article; he does seem to be pretty well cited in a lightly-cited field, as noted above.

Keep. Professors engaged in research do publish papers. That's what they do, and what they're supposed to do. If they do it to a notable degree as measured by the influence they have, they are notable. It's no more a reason for not recognizing their notability as it is to say that an artist paints pictures. In a low-citation density field like mathematics, the citation figures here are sufficient. I do not think the citations to the published papers should have been removed. Not only are they normal in articles in the area, they're essential. It's the citations to them that show him notable . But I will defer to David E if there's something missing here. DGG (

Rentier (

Meh. He has a full professorship at a good research university, which is both a sign of an already-successful academic career and usually within the range for which we keep articles on academics, but is not in itself a marker of automatic notability. Counting citations in pure mathematics is not very useful; they're too low to convey much information. I don't see any named chairs, society fellowships, major awards, widely used and reviewed books, festschrifts, or other things like that to confirm his notability. He does have one paper in Annals of Mathematics and three in Inventiones Mathematicae, both top journals — many other mathematicians would be jealous of such a record. And we can answer the nominator's complaint about primary referencing by using the
MathSciNet reviews as references — they wouldn't say he is "known for" anything but at least they would say what he has accomplished. But in general, we have a large number of articles on good but not stellar mathematicians such as him, and I don't know why this one was singled out. I don't think this one is especially problematic for the encyclopedia — it's factual and sourced or sourceable, and he is after all a successful mathematician. But I can't find a hook to support a keep opinion. —

[Source: Associated Press] — The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Arizona a five-year, $3.5 million grant to improve the skills of would-be mathematics educators. It is UA’s second grant for the Vertical Integration of Research and Education program, one that will benefit students from high school classrooms to postdoctoral programs.
The first five-year NSF grant was $2.5 million in 1999. “The first helped create some programs and the second grant will make sure those changes are permanent and propagated throughout the region,” said Douglas Ulmer, who heads the math graduate program at UA. The funding means new fellowships for students, undergraduate research opportunities, collaborations, and interdisciplinary work with the hope of driving more students into the field."--

Interesting remarks. If we know a field better, we're more critical. I think that's true for myself, too. We know our fields and who are the important people in it. Doesn't that suggest that our current criteria are perhaps a bit too lax? --
Randykitty (

Rentier, I similarly continue to have a dilemma about the expectations of the "average professor test" and determining which criteria make sense in cross-field comparisons. For example,
WorldCat shows a book co-written by Douglas Ulmer which is in print in two different versions. Shouldn't that qualify as a viable publication reference regardless of one's field?

Yes, "4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
Criterion 4 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has authored several books that are widely used as textbooks (or as a basis for a course) at multiple institutions of higher education." The NSF grants administered by Ulmer for math students (shown higher on the thread) are a good example that this criterion is met.--

Comment.
Mitzi.humphrey, I suggest you disengage. You have a declared conflict of your interest, your comments here look like they are coming from a promotional point of view (you appear to be looking for a way to interpret the notability criteria so they fit Ulmer's record, rather than neutrally measuring Ulmer's record against the criteria), and it is likely that this will push other editors to be more critical of Ulmer rather than changing their opinions in the way you want. —

This article includes two sources: one of them is a startup listing that fails the requirements of

The page is also likely promotional, focusing on business models as you would see in marking pieces and directly linking to the website that allows selling. In short: this fails both tests of

Violates
WP:NOTGENEALOGY,
WP:NOR,
WP:V and the page long ago lost any discernible relationship to the page name. Page was originally created with a simple defined purpose, as the name implies, to show the descent of Elizabeth II from William the Conqueror. This is possibly notable, but given that the descent is now covered in its entirety by
Family tree of English and British monarchs, the line from Elizabeth to William representing almost 80% of the total content of that page, it is thoroughly redundant and as such represents a content fork. Since it was created, however, this page has become a catchall for a large range of descents that play no role in the descent of Elizabeth II from William I. These include: 1) the descent of king Henry II from Ecgbert of Wessex; 2) the descent of Henry I from Alfred the Great; 3) the descent of king Edward III from king Harold; 4) the descent of James VI of Scotland from Kenneth MacAlpin; 4) the descent of David I of Scotland from Ecgbert of Wessex; 5) the descent of Ecgbert of Wessex from the semi-legendary Cerdic; 6) the descent of James VI of Scotland from Svein Forkbeard of Denmark; 7) the descent of Edward III of England from king Stephen; 8) the descent of James I of Scotland from Rhys ap Gruffydd, king of Deheubarth; 9) the descent of Edward IV of England from Llewellyn ap Gruffydd, king of Gwynnedd; 10) the descent of James VI of Scotland from Brian Boru, king of Munster and Leinster; 11) the descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV of England; 12) another descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV; 13) another descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV; 14) another descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV - yes, that's right, four of them, but this one is special, we are told, notable because it is the 'longest', while the other three are notable as the 'shortest'. So, it has one pedigree that is actually appropriate to the page name, and 14 that have nothing to do with it.
The selection of the individual lines shown is entirely arbitrary. It has basically become a collection of descents of any English or Scottish king from some other king somewhere in the British Isles, chosen seemingly on a whim. Elizabeth II descends from the same people dozens, hundreds or even thousands of different ways, and the specific routes chosen are no better than others that could likewise have been chosen, so the choice of lines is arbitrary, and so is the choice of targets - links could also be traced to kings of York, kings of other Welsh kingdoms, and kings of Dublin and other Irish realms, all not shown.
Royal genealogies are often defended because they represent a claim to legitimacy, but of the 15 shown here, only 3, at most, serve such a role (the eponymous E II from W I, James VI from Kenneth MacAlpin, and Egbert from Cerdic), but two of the three have nothing to do with the subject of the page, and there is no logic for lumping them together. The Irish, Welsh, Harold II, Forkbeard, Stephen, and Henry IV descents all look to be original research or else they give undue weight to obscure genealogical trivia, and again they have nothing to do with the subject of the page. The pedigrees are unreferenced in their entirety, and while that may be acceptable for some of the thoroughly undisputed descents, but not for most of the accrued descents, either in terms of verifiability or as an indication that the descent merits mention on Wikipedia, that its inclusion does not represent UNDUE weight. It has been flagged as needing references since 2014, with no attempt being made to improve it. I have tried to restore the page to its original focus by deleting the material not germane to the page topic, but these attempts have been reverted by editors unwilling to discuss the serious issues with the irrelevant content. In the end, though, even were it stripped to its relevant core, the descent of Elizabeth from William, it would only be a content fork.
This is nothing but British royal genealogy-cruft, piled on to a page that at least once had a clearly defined and perhaps notable topic, but which if restored now would just be redundant.

Delete Previous discussions and AfDs have established a rough consensus that being registered is a minimum threshold for the notability of political parties in Australia, though it is not sufficient in isolation of coverage in independent and reliable sources. Checking both the
federal and
Queensland registers of political parties confirms that this organisation has not become a registered political party.
Googling this organisation (which is tricky due to the similarly-named major South African party) provides no evidence that independent reliable sources exist. As such, notability is clearly not established. I note also that the article is written in a promotional tone.

the same story being reported in multiple places, and there is far too much information cited to The Sun. I think we're best off leaving this article out - unless it somehow acquires longer-lasting significance in British law, which I find unlikely.

This person very recently became more notable. Odd that the article doesn't mention the current debacle, as the article was created after the debacle broke.

Delete. Wikipedia's notability standards for radio broadcasters do not include "MajidaKhanum is an admirer", but require
reliable source coverage about the broadcaster in media independent of his own
self-published web presence. None of the sources here are satisfying what's required, however — right across the board, the referencing here is to YouTube videos, Facebook, "staff" profiles on the websites of companies or organizations with which he's directly affiliated,
user-generated "open platforms for sharing viral content", and on and so forth. Exactly zero of the sources shown here even begin to approach what's required — and whether he's your hero or not, this is still not the kind of sourcing it takes to make him eligible for a Wikipedia article.

These both confirm the release date as 8 September 2017. The Indian Express article says that the film is a remake of Poshter Boyz, for which we have an article. In my view the involvement of a major studio (
Sony Pictures) and a theatrical release are good indications of notability.

I had assumed that this would have been resolved by my conctradicting the proposer's assertion that there there was " No evidence of having begun principal photography". The reliable sources that I have already posted confirm that shooting has been completed and a theatrical release date has been set. It appears that further evidence of notability is still sought. The film has received repeated coverage in the mainstream Indian media. This is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and thereby meets the
WP:GNG. This is demonstrated by the following citations:

KeepG. E. Moore spent several pages defining and discussing mental facts in A Defense of Common Sense, pp. 10-13 ff., and mentioned them in several other pieces

On your quote "Where possible, composers or lyricists ..." They are not composers or lyricists. Yes, reliable sources are needed and reliable sources exist.

Climate7298 (

Once someone is notable, we can describe what they wrote, but depending on the nature of what they wrote it may or may not show them notable. Writing position papers for a government agency in general does not show notability, unless they have provable great impact. "notability " does not apply to the content of an article, but it does apply to deciding whether woe should have an article. (And, even sos, many of the mentions and minor papers listed in WP articles are not significant content and should be removed, depending on context. There are several hundred thousand over-promotional bios in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them. DGG (

The subject is clearly notable per Wikipedia standards, whether we look at the GNG or cross-examine similar pages. Several reputed and independent sources have covered the subject’s opinions or profiled him. Earlier, I did not expand on why I think DGG’s statements about the references’ independence are untrue, but to look more closely at some of DGG’s claims: to say that [7] is simply “an interview where he says what he wants” ignores that this was with a reporter employed by a reputed, independent news source that has quoted him in other articles, too. In another example, [14] and [18] are not “publications by his group,” but instead clearly list him alongside other noted “public policymakers” who were interviewed by the U.S. Departments of Education and Commerce for guidance, signaling notability. The Politico references (we only included two but there are more), are not just passing mentions because Politico described something happening to the subject. [24-26] are obviously not “announcements” or “summaries” of panels. They are independent news reports that discuss things the subject said at major public meeting with other senior participants including an attorney general. Because of these gaps, it seems DGG’s nomination contradicts the Wikipedia stated policy. Page clearly seems to pass GNG.

2011 in British music charts), primarily the
WP:NOTNEWS and

The chart lists should just be pared down to the main overall albums and songs charts (don't need downloads, streaming, etc. on what should be a high level summary article) and merged to
2017 in British music. Significant chart achievements can then be listed there as well. For the lesser charts, there are dedicated lists for
List of UK Album Downloads Chart number ones of the 2010s,
List of UK Compilation Chart number ones of the 2010s, etc. for more detailed breakdowns. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:50, 14 June 2017 (UTC)reply

Also, I recall requesting to delete a page concerning Comey's memos. My request got denied for the same reason that we are giving out here: this is an event of significant imp. Reporting on Apple's new revolutionary vision API would not suit Wikipedia. Reporting on CNN being allegedly secretly taped and claimed to be focused on Trump to boost ratings is not.

I wouldn't really consider the events comparable. There is only one sitting FBI Director and only one sitting POTUS at any given time both obviously being extremely high/important positions. So a controversy or a serious event involving either(or both) of them will always have a resonating level of significance. The opinions of a handful of the thousands of employees or dozen(hundred? idk how any) of producers that CNN has, is not really comparable. Even if it was the President/CEO/Directors saying the same comments, while it would be a lot more significant/notable, it still wouldn't be comparable to Comey/Trump since it still just the opinions of citizens.

Jdcomix (

The Post and the Times barely wrote anything about it except when mentioning O'Keefe's destroyed reputation. O'Keefe's crediblity has been questioned not once, not twice, but multiple times. He has been jailed for a federal crime and had to pay fines. Even with these CNN tapes, there are question marks about who these persons are, how representative they are of CNN as an organization (well, maybe except Zucker), and if what they said was situated deceptively in a context to achieve political gains. That is why these tapes are edit and not released raw. NYT, Post, NPR, etc. are reliable organizations that attempt to discuss issues from every part of the political spectrum fairly and objectively. Unfortunately that is not what you see on Fox News, Breitbart, or Drudge, not because they are conservative (WSJ is a world-class conservative organization), but because they are propagandistic. It tarnishes their reputation when they put O'Keefe on their frontpages.--

Keith Ferrazzi - his main notability is for having a NY Times best seller (in Bradberry's case
Emotional Intelligence 2.0), which he parlayed into a consulting career with speaking engagements and many published articles that are shared throughout social media. The concept of emotional intelligence in business is a category that he created. I don't know the rule of thumb for author notability, but I do know that
Harper Lee and
JD Salinger were considered notable after one book. I'm certainly not comparing their societal impact, but you can Google Travis Bradberry in quotes and get almost 2.5 million hits. Harper Lee gets you 433K. Bradberry's book has almost 1,000 reviews on Amazon and is still ranked in the top ten in several business categories, after almost exactly 8 years, and is currently Amazon's #262 book overall. I just spent a half hour looking for good sources of media coverage, and found a lot of podcasts and panel appearances. I'll keep looking when I have more time.

That is the crux of the discussion. My argument in support of his notability is for the work he's done to promote the concept rather than just publishing the book and waiting for people to read it. He would not have the search visibility if he was a recluse like Harper Lee and JD Salinger. If we're going to keep the article the challenge will be quantifying that effect which I will take a shot at and hopefully move the needle a little bit. .

Regardless of notability, which is a guideline and subject to valid disputes about interpretation, NOT ADVOCACY is a basic principle, and articles whose purpose and effect is advocacy must be removed. Otherwise, NPOV fails, and we are no longer an encyclopedia , and we might as well let Amazon handle our coverage of authors and books. I can find no direct evidence Bradbury's principal book was ever on the NYT list--and I am not sure I would accept the self-help section of that list as a criterion for notability . The book is self published. I have just listed Bradberry's book Emotional Intelligence 2.0 for speedy G11; and another admin has already deleted it DGG (

Article about a city neighborhood, which is not a well-established community with a properly sourced or notable history. Per GEOLAND, neighborhoods must meet GNG for a separate article. Article has five sources, all of which are primary (City of Calgary). Searching primarily turns up routine real-estate listings. Insufficient coverage in independent RS.
MB 02:26, 28 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep based on longstanding consensus that all residential neighbourhoods in Calgary and Edmonton are notable enough for articles. This article was created in good faith based on the precedent that all others had articles. Although a newer neighbourhood, it is no less important than an older established neighbourhood that only has the benefit of more time passed to accrue a more fulsome history. It will accumulate its history over time. Surely some non-City of Calgary sources can be found. If this is deleted on these grounds, surely dozens and dozens of Calgary's other ~200 residential neighbourhoods are eligible to suffer the same fate as well. I'd much rather see a single deletion discussion of a large volume of these similar articles rather than picking them off one-by-one, such as is currently and suddenly the case with this,
Legacy, Calgary and
Nolan Hill despite years of Calgary residential neighbourhood article stability.

Merge to
List of neighbourhoods in Calgary, there are no independent sources, and the content is not of the sort requiring an article. It may be possible that
List of neighbourhoods in Calgary could be developed into an article by consolidating these split-off (content-fork, if you will) articles, and thus improve the encyclopedic nature of the Wikipedia. It does indeed seem to fail

The guidance on what qualifies as 'significant coverage' is rather vague, leaving me uncertain. Still I'd like to mention a couple things. The first book source I listed has over two pages covering the MSAA. The Multiple Sclerosis News Today is an independent source which has many non-trivial articles covering MSAA as well as other multiple sclerosis organizations and related news. This
[38] search of their site (some but not all results address MSAA) could provide material to expand the article. I have no objection to Userfication if the creator is interested.

The Multiple Sclerosis News Today and dozens of other <disease_name> News Today portals
[39] run by BioNews Services actually pull nearly all of their content from the websites of disease-specific charities. Hence MSAA's name there. But being mentioned on those portals should not confer notability. —

THIS mentioning the group from a 2002 piece on the launch of Charity Navigator:
CN rates nonprofits on a scale of zero to four stars. Nearly 70 percent of the charities evaluated so far have ratings of three stars or better. Only 23 received zero stars. Several in this dubious category are what Stamp calls "sound-alike" charities, including the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA). Some givers confuse that charity with the four-star National Multiple Sclerosis Society.MSAA is spending somewhere around 30 cents on the dollar for actual research, and "the rest is just spent on direct-mail campaigns," Stamp says. "It's clear we didn't need the MS Association of America."
I'm not spotting any histories of the organization counting towards GNG and most of the news coverage I'm seeing relates to their fundraising rather than programmatic efforts.

This currently doesn't establish notability. There is just one good source, but that alone is not enough. Sort of back and forth on this. For one, it is quite iconic, but simply being iconic doesn't necessarily mean sources exist. It is a common setting so finding proper sources seems like it would be quite annoying even with narrowing down search terms. Either way, you'll be seeing dozens and dozens of single time mentions that will provide no real context. If someone wants to take the time to work on it, I certainly don't mind withdrawing immediately.

Keep. As the nominator notes, there are independent sources on this article, although I am not so quick to discount the ones presented so far or to doubt that there are plenty more out there. When this article was
first nominated for AFD back in 2008, it was closed as a
snow keep, and at that time
[47] it had none of these sources at all. I don't see why meeting
WP:GNG should be in doubt on this topic, and AFD is not cleanup.
BOZ (
talk) 19:47, 20 June 2017 (UTC)reply
There is one independent source that deals with real world information. There is not one other source in the article that details anything of that nature. It might not be impossible to source it, but someone has to prove that they do exist. The previous AfD also included the module as part of the article at that point, but that has since been split out. Sources are needed for the fictional location, or if someone wants to merge it to the module, which I didn't really realize existed as of nominating it. If someone does want to merge it, I will also withdraw in that case.

WP:AFD is not cleanup. Clearly notable, as it is a major setting that is featured in more than a hundred novels, sourcebooks, comics, boardgames, card games, video games, and other media. —

This is not being used for cleanup, other than my idea of maybe merging it to the module it after realizing that it exists after the fact. Though deleting and redirecting wouldn't really hurt anything either. There is one source that provides any real world information, and the other two or three third party sources are not used for a real world context. They could be removed without losing any content, so they cannot be counted towards notability, Just because I think that there may be potential doesn't mean it should be assumed to exist just because this may be objectively iconic. That's a pretty common trend, where something is kept and never improved. And that's not because nobody has bothered to work on them, but because it turns out the topic was not actually notable in the first place. I certainly have no qualms if someone wants to prove me wrong, but please don't pretend sources exist without even providing any.
TTN (
talk) 21:18, 20 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep per all of the above, particularly the clean-up angle. Sources exist. Just because sussing them out may take additional effort, that doesn't mean the article should be held hostage at AFD. Here's one I found after only a minute on
io9/Gizmodo. It gets into a decent amount of detail on various aspects of the inhabitants and conditions there.
Here is an interview with the producer of a module centered around the Underdark. It's almost certain other high quality sources can be found. —Torchiesttalkedits 02:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Not that I really have any hope of swaying this AfD at this point, but neither of those would provide any of the needed substance to the article. They would verify that the Underdark does in fact appear in those settings, but neither of those provide actual real world information that deal directly with the topic. You'd have to something like "'generic article' says 'generic by the book statement that provides no particular substance' about the Underdark." That would just be putting improper weight on those sources. You would want to find more articles describing the iconic status of the Underdark, which I'm really not sure exist in enough abundance, or plenty of creative input from the original creators and probably any commentary Salvatore has had on the settting.
TTN (
talk) 03:08, 21 June 2017 (UTC)reply
The io9 is a conversation between a journalist and a game designer about the histories of various races living in the Underdark, and the process of adding new content to the setting for the new campaign. I think it's pretty detailed and strongly helps to establish notability. The second one is more passing, true, but again, this was based on a just a couple minutes of effort. More sources can be found. —Torchiesttalkedits 04:38, 21 June 2017 (UTC)reply
I'm sure there are plenty of sources with the topic in the title, but that does not mean that they will actually provide any substance to the article. That mentions nothing specific about the Underdark as a whole, so none of that would be included in this article. Anything pertaining to the development of the races belongs in the articles of those races. It mentions really absolutely nothing about the topic in general that could be really even used in this. The only thing would be a note in a development history section that the campaign took place in this setting, which has nothing to do with notability. Please at least find one source that could actually be used. I'm not demanding instant improvement to the article, but I just hate all these conversations where people are claiming there are sources and cannot actually produce a single source that would help the article.

WP:INTERVIEW, were the creators describe their world. I am sorry but I have to concur with
the nom that there is not enough sources to establish notability for a stand-alone topic on this. It doesn't matter if there are dozens of games set in Underdark, if there is no analysis of its importance, cultural impact, etc. And please keep in mind that

Another source at The Escapist. I understand this one is covering a booklet related to the setting, but it does give some additional coverage to the article topic itself. Lines like "If you're a fan of classic Dungeons & Dragons games, you probably have some fond memories of the Underdark." seem to presume notability. —Torchiesttalkedits 16:54, 24 June 2017 (UTC)reply

The result was keep in one form or another.

Article about a city neighborhood, which is not a well-established community with a properly sourced or notable history. Per GEOLAND, neighborhoods must meet GNG for a separate article. Article has four sources, all of which are primary (City of Calgary). The article even states the population was ZERO in 2012. Clearly fails GNG.

Merge to
List of neighbourhoods in Calgary, as per
WP:ATD-M. Source coverage is mostly local and some mentions in Google books exist, but not finding source coverage to qualify a standalone article. There has been development there (e.g.
[50],
[51],
[52]), so it's likely populated now, or will be. A merge will improve the Calgary article, which presently has no mention of this neighborhood. North America1000 01:12, 28 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep based on longstanding consensus that all residential neighbourhoods in Calgary and Edmonton are notable enough for articles. This article was created in good faith based on the precedent that all others had articles. Although a newer neighbourhood, it is no less important than an older established neighbourhood that only has the benefit of more time passed to accrue a more fulsome history. It will accumulate its history over time. Surely some non-City of Calgary sources can be found. If this is deleted on these grounds, surely dozens and dozens of Calgary's other ~200 residential neighbourhoods are eligible to suffer the same fate as well. I'd much rather see a single deletion discussion of a large volume of these similar articles rather than picking them off one-by-one, such as is currently and suddenly the case with this,
Legacy, Calgary and
Sage Hill, Calgary despite years of Calgary residential neighbourhood article stability. Also, yes, it is now most certainly a
populated neighbourhood.

Mitzi - Google Scholar citations (specifically a measure called the
h-index) can be helpful for measuring the impact of some academics, but that's generally not true for mathematicians. They make their impact through textbooks and other activity. Although Ulmer's journal publication list seems long, almost none of the articles are well-cited by his peers (which is to be expected for mathematicians). For some other ways that academics meet notability guidelines, see
WP:PROF and especially the footnotes that go with each criterion there. I don't see any that are met right now.

WP:NACADEMIC requires anyone passing for their published works has to be "demonstrated by independent reliable sources" and we don't have that here. I don't buy Xxanthippe's claim (poorly worded and hard to understand) about being highly cited. Mathematics isn't my field. PROF mentions that there should be reviews in " Mathematical Reviews, also known as MathSciNet, and Zentralblatt MATH". Where are those? Mitzi makes a

Chris, you asked for an independent reliable source for his citations....and it's
GoogleScholar, exactly where they can be found by anyone; therefore WP:PROF itself counts GoogleScholar acceptable given it's where you find such materials. Reviews are not a single qualifier, the citations itself can be and GoogleScholar itself will actually elaborate about when, who, etc. OR cannot be applied when the publications are laid out like this, it only would be if there were no sources at all available.
SwisterTwistertalk 21:11, 29 June 2017 (UTC)reply
I think you are mistaken. GoogleScholar shows his work has been cited. It does not prove he is "highly cited" nor does it prove what he is known for. Deriving claims like that from primary sources is OR. Show me a secondary source that says the subject is "highly cited" or that they are know for some particular study. Those citations aren't present in the article; just a lot of nonsense claims about the fact being true with no proof that it is. Chris Troutman (
talk) 22:20, 29 June 2017 (UTC)reply
84 in a rarely cited field is itself significant for WP:PROF (that's how the field of scientific citations works) and since that's an independently operating Notability, nothing else is needed. "nonsense claims about the fact being true with no proof that it is" is inapplicable as long as it's sourced by facts. Since we would never say GoogleScholar is a primary source, it therefore is unacceptable to otherwise discount it. We would never ask an astronaut to otherwise give a secondary source about his firsthand space travels, so it's no different in here.

Keep as publications are sufficient for WP:PROF which is the qualifying factor here, not GNG or any other standard guideline which hasn't applied to academics or education itself. As with WP:PROF, we consider his own papers, especially when shown to be highly cited, to be the significance.

Comment. I had a go at cleaning this up in April. This is how I left the article (yes, not very good, I know, I now wish I'd done better). Since then an awful lot of nonsense has been added back. If that is distracting people, the page could perhaps be reverted to that imperfect bare-bones version to allow us (me included) to concentrate on the important question, his notability.
Justlettersandnumbers (

Reply to comment – The short version is significantly less distracting, in my opinion, since the longer one we currently have is full of redundancies. For example, "The American Mathematical Society has three PDF mathematical publications for Doug Ulmer on its own website"—which points to
a page of search-engine results, providing no new information beyond the fact that he has at least three journal publications. Being department chair and serving on the editorial board of
a journal count towards notability, but the travelogue of lectures and subsequent publications does not, since the latter is just what all academics are expected to do.

Addendum – Another example of what I mean: "He lectured on elliptic curves over function fields at the 2009 Park City Math Institute, and the lectures are archived at the Cornell University Library." This read, at first, like the Park City Math Institute was an event at Cornell and the lectures had been videotaped, but no, the
PCMI is in Utah, and "the lectures are archived at the Cornell University Library" just means that
he posted his notes to the
arXiv, which is hosted at Cornell. Everybody is on the arXiv! Likewise, a little later, notes that he wrote are said to be published "on the mathematics website of Stanford University", but this is really just a copy of
another arXiv posting included on the
reading list of a seminar course. The "Lectures, articles, editorial activity, and visiting professorships" section reads too much like PR written by an outsider to mathematics. This does not mean that Prof. Ulmer is undeserving of an article; he does seem to be pretty well cited in a lightly-cited field, as noted above.

Inexplicably, the current version doesn't include the information that he was a

This article had some of the oddest sourcing for a BLP on an academic I've seen in a long time, and some of the weirdest claims. It said he supervised doctoral dissertations (that's what professors do at Ph.D. granting institutions...), which was verified by a link to a student's CV? That is not acceptable. I wonder what

I left a comment a little higher up this page,
Drmies, now rendered redundant by the excellent clean-up you and others have recently done. When I edited this in April, I thought he was notable because of his citations – otherwise I'd have nominated it for deletion. Now I'm waiting to see the evaluations of those citations by other editors whose opinion I value before making my own decision.
Yes,
Justlettersandnumbers, I do. But remember that commenting on other users is considered disruptive. I hope that this article ultimately succeeds in demonstrating the obvious notability of Dr. Ulmer in the field of mathematics.--

Keep. Professors engaged in research do publish papers. That's what they do, and what they're supposed to do. If they do it to a notable degree as measured by the influence they have, they are notable. It's no more a reason for not recognizing their notability as it is to say that an artist paints pictures. In a low-citation density field like mathematics, the citation figures here are sufficient. I do not think the citations to the published papers should have been removed. Not only are they normal in articles in the area, they're essential. It's the citations to them that show him notable . But I will defer to David E if there's something missing here. DGG (

I disagree, DGG--I certainly do not leave such citations in, and I've written quite a few of these articles. Surely you agree that they can't be used to verify "person X is important in this or that area" (

Rentier (

Meh. He has a full professorship at a good research university, which is both a sign of an already-successful academic career and usually within the range for which we keep articles on academics, but is not in itself a marker of automatic notability. Counting citations in pure mathematics is not very useful; they're too low to convey much information. I don't see any named chairs, society fellowships, major awards, widely used and reviewed books, festschrifts, or other things like that to confirm his notability. He does have one paper in Annals of Mathematics and three in Inventiones Mathematicae, both top journals — many other mathematicians would be jealous of such a record. And we can answer the nominator's complaint about primary referencing by using the
MathSciNet reviews as references — they wouldn't say he is "known for" anything but at least they would say what he has accomplished. But in general, we have a large number of articles on good but not stellar mathematicians such as him, and I don't know why this one was singled out. I don't think this one is especially problematic for the encyclopedia — it's factual and sourced or sourceable, and he is after all a successful mathematician. But I can't find a hook to support a keep opinion. —

My research update as shown on the Flinn Foundation website: "Grant gives UA $3.5 million for math educators
October 24, 2006
[Source: Associated Press] — The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Arizona a five-year, $3.5 million grant to improve the skills of would-be mathematics educators. It is UA’s second grant for the Vertical Integration of Research and Education program, one that will benefit students from high school classrooms to postdoctoral programs.
The first five-year NSF grant was $2.5 million in 1999. “The first helped create some programs and the second grant will make sure those changes are permanent and propagated throughout the region,” said Douglas Ulmer, who heads the math graduate program at UA. The funding means new fellowships for students, undergraduate research opportunities, collaborations, and interdisciplinary work with the hope of driving more students into the field."--

This person seems to be right on the borderline of those, a fully competent person doing what professors do. But in the total absence of any in-depth coverage whatsoever, there's really no point in having an article on him. Unfortunately, unless he gets appointed to a named chair, we may need to wait until obituaries are written to have anything more substantial to say about him.

As with WP:PROF, we consider his own papers, especially when shown to be highly cited, to be the significance." I think all discussants here should review the history of the article and see where it went astray from my original article.

There's a tendency for those of us who have worked in an academic field to be more than usually skeptical about other people in our own area. I've seeb this for not just academics, but in the arts also--in the things we really know, we use higher standards. I know this to be true of myself in librarianship--many articles in the field I have listed in AfD or said delete for, have been kept. It's an interesting sort of inverse bias. DGG (

An interesting observation and very true. I brought up the "average professor test" in this nomination because I think that roughly one third of the faculty in my department have a stronger record (as far as it makes any sense to make cross-field comparisons), yet none of them have articles — and I don't think they should, except maybe the top one or two.

Randykitty (

Rentier, I similarly continue to have a dilemma about the expectations of the "average professor test" and determining which criteria make sense in cross-field comparisons. For example,
WorldCat shows a book co-written by Douglas Ulmer which is in print in two different versions. Shouldn't that qualify as a viable publication reference regardless of one's field?
Mitzi.humphrey (

Yes, "4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
Criterion 4 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has authored several books that are widely used as textbooks (or as a basis for a course) at multiple institutions of higher education." The NSF grants administered by Ulmer for math students (shown higher on the thread) are a good example that this criterion is met.--

Mitzi.humphrey, I suggest you disengage. You have a declared conflict of your interest, your comments here look like they are coming from a promotional point of view (you appear to be looking for a way to interpret the notability criteria so they fit Ulmer's record, rather than neutrally measuring Ulmer's record against the criteria), and it is likely that this will push other editors to be more critical of Ulmer rather than changing their opinions in the way you want. —

Violates
WP:NOTGENEALOGY,
WP:NOR,
WP:V and the page long ago lost any discernible relationship to the page name. Page was originally created with a simple defined purpose, as the name implies, to show the descent of Elizabeth II from William the Conqueror. This is possibly notable, but given that the descent is now covered in its entirety by
Family tree of English and British monarchs, the line from Elizabeth to William representing almost 80% of the total content of that page, it is thoroughly redundant and as such represents a content fork. Since it was created, however, this page has become a catchall for a large range of descents that play no role in the descent of Elizabeth II from William I. These include: 1) the descent of king Henry II from Ecgbert of Wessex; 2) the descent of Henry I from Alfred the Great; 3) the descent of king Edward III from king Harold; 4) the descent of James VI of Scotland from Kenneth MacAlpin; 4) the descent of David I of Scotland from Ecgbert of Wessex; 5) the descent of Ecgbert of Wessex from the semi-legendary Cerdic; 6) the descent of James VI of Scotland from Svein Forkbeard of Denmark; 7) the descent of Edward III of England from king Stephen; 8) the descent of James I of Scotland from Rhys ap Gruffydd, king of Deheubarth; 9) the descent of Edward IV of England from Llewellyn ap Gruffydd, king of Gwynnedd; 10) the descent of James VI of Scotland from Brian Boru, king of Munster and Leinster; 11) the descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV of England; 12) another descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV; 13) another descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV; 14) another descent of Elizabeth II from Henry IV - yes, that's right, four of them, but this one is special, we are told, notable because it is the 'longest', while the other three are notable as the 'shortest'. So, it has one pedigree that is actually appropriate to the page name, and 14 that have nothing to do with it.
The selection of the individual lines shown is entirely arbitrary. It has basically become a collection of descents of any English or Scottish king from some other king somewhere in the British Isles, chosen seemingly on a whim. Elizabeth II descends from the same people dozens, hundreds or even thousands of different ways, and the specific routes chosen are no better than others that could likewise have been chosen, so the choice of lines is arbitrary, and so is the choice of targets - links could also be traced to kings of York, kings of other Welsh kingdoms, and kings of Dublin and other Irish realms, all not shown.
Royal genealogies are often defended because they represent a claim to legitimacy, but of the 15 shown here, only 3, at most, serve such a role (the eponymous E II from W I, James VI from Kenneth MacAlpin, and Egbert from Cerdic), but two of the three have nothing to do with the subject of the page, and there is no logic for lumping them together. The Irish, Welsh, Harold II, Forkbeard, Stephen, and Henry IV descents all look to be original research or else they give undue weight to obscure genealogical trivia, and again they have nothing to do with the subject of the page. The pedigrees are unreferenced in their entirety, and while that may be acceptable for some of the thoroughly undisputed descents, but not for most of the accrued descents, either in terms of verifiability or as an indication that the descent merits mention on Wikipedia, that its inclusion does not represent UNDUE weight. It has been flagged as needing references since 2014, with no attempt being made to improve it. I have tried to restore the page to its original focus by deleting the material not germane to the page topic, but these attempts have been reverted by editors unwilling to discuss the serious issues with the irrelevant content. In the end, though, even were it stripped to its relevant core, the descent of Elizabeth from William, it would only be a content fork.
This is nothing but British royal genealogy-cruft, piled on to a page that at least once had a clearly defined and perhaps notable topic, but which if restored now would just be redundant.

That would be

Competitors for the Crown of Scotland. I think both of these are appropriate - no severe NOR violations or WEIGHT issues, as trees like these (though perhaps slightly less detailed generation-by-generation) appear in secondary sources, though the first tree becomes a bit too busy when it tries unnecessarily to recapitulate most of the material found on the second rather than focusing on the royal lines and using a pointer to the Competitors page for those interested.)

Madhubanti Bagchi is a well-known and famous playback singer. She has worked with popular music directors and worked in well-known movies in well-known film industries such as Tollywood, Bollywood. Request to delete this page doesn't hold any ground. Information on this page are accurate. She is a notable singer and worked with various well known music directors in many movies. All mentioned references are either from popular newspapers such as
Times of india,
The Telegraph (Calcutta) and
Ei Samay Sangbadpatra or from other verified wikipedia pages. So the articles are news coverage or interviews by independent sources and not promotional articles. All the sources mentioned are based on the guide lines of wikipedia independent sources. These reputed newspapers are leading news papers of Kolkata and can't be marked as unimportant or insignificant sources. The user who requested the page for deletion is probably not aware of the news media or entertainment industry of Kolkata or India. And this deletion request only reflects ignorance to a particular place or culture. This article is created based on proper guidelines and none of the references are illegitimate. Even if there was any question on any particular reference then that should have been addressed specifically rather than discouraging the whole page and requesting for its deletion.

WP:BIO notability criteria. I'd particularly point to
WP:PSEUDO. This doesn't really satisfy any of the bullet points raised there. -

Delete. Wikipedia's notability standards for radio broadcasters do not include "MajidaKhanum is an admirer", but require
reliable source coverage about the broadcaster in media independent of his own
self-published web presence. None of the sources here are satisfying what's required, however — right across the board, the referencing here is to YouTube videos, Facebook, "staff" profiles on the websites of companies or organizations with which he's directly affiliated,
user-generated "open platforms for sharing viral content", and on and so forth. Exactly zero of the sources shown here even begin to approach what's required — and whether he's your hero or not, this is still not the kind of sourcing it takes to make him eligible for a Wikipedia article.

These both confirm the release date as 8 September 2017. The Indian Express article says that the film is a remake of Poshter Boyz, for which we have an article. In my view the involvement of a major studio (

I had assumed that this would have been resolved by my conctradicting the proposer's assertion that there there was " No evidence of having begun principal photography". The reliable sources that I have already posted confirm that shooting has been completed and a theatrical release date has been set. It appears that further evidence of notability is still sought. The film has received repeated coverage in the mainstream Indian media. This is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and thereby meets the

KeepG. E. Moore spent several pages defining and discussing mental facts in A Defense of Common Sense, pp. 10-13 ff., and mentioned them in several other pieces
[14][15]. More recently, several authors have briefly discussed the term in treatments of Moore's work, including
Tully 1976,
Hellie 2007, and
Preti 2008. This would be enough for a short standalone article independent of Searle, although it would be nice to have somebody comparing their conceptions.

Comments Thanks for your feedback, all. Respectfully, I think many of DGG’s statements about the references are incorrect. The references that were used in the page, including blog posts published through the White House and articles of recognition, are the same or are very similar to those used in many other existing biographical pages. As others have posed, the subject seems to meet the necessary standards.
Climate7298 (
talk) 03:14, 15 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Once someone is notable, we can describe what they wrote, but depending on the nature of what they wrote it may or may not show them notable. Writing position papers for a government agency in general does not show notability, unless they have provable great impact. "notability " does not apply to the content of an article, but it does apply to deciding whether woe should have an article. (And, even sos, many of the mentions and minor papers listed in WP articles are not significant content and should be removed, depending on context. There are several hundred thousand over-promotional bios in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. The least we can do is not add to them. DGG (
talk ) 14:49, 16 June 2017 (UTC)reply
The subject is clearly notable per Wikipedia standards, whether we look at the GNG or cross-examine similar pages. Several reputed and independent sources have covered the subject’s opinions or profiled him. Earlier, I did not expand on why I think DGG’s statements about the references’ independence are untrue, but to look more closely at some of DGG’s claims: to say that [7] is simply “an interview where he says what he wants” ignores that this was with a reporter employed by a reputed, independent news source that has quoted him in other articles, too. In another example, [14] and [18] are not “publications by his group,” but instead clearly list him alongside other noted “public policymakers” who were interviewed by the U.S. Departments of Education and Commerce for guidance, signaling notability. The Politico references (we only included two but there are more), are not just passing mentions because Politico described something happening to the subject. [24-26] are obviously not “announcements” or “summaries” of panels. They are independent news reports that discuss things the subject said at major public meeting with other senior participants including an attorney general. Because of these gaps, it seems DGG’s nomination contradicts the Wikipedia stated policy. Page clearly seems to pass GNG.

I wouldn't really consider the events comparable. There is only one sitting FBI Director and only one sitting POTUS at any given time both obviously being extremely high/important positions. So a controversy or a serious event involving either(or both) of them will always have a resonating level of significance. The opinions of a handful of the thousands of employees or dozen(hundred? idk how any) of producers that CNN has, is not really comparable. Even if it was the President/CEO/Directors saying the same comments, while it would be a lot more significant/notable, it still wouldn't be comparable to Comey/Trump since it still just the opinions of citizens.

Might also add that so far both released videos have been duds (except in portions of the far right internet). First one is some non-notable employee of CNN who has nothing to do with their political coverage, second one is a straight up deceptive hoax. With this record, I seriously doubt the "more videos coming out" is gonna matter much.
Volunteer Marek (

Seriously. Like, after a few days, it seems like all of these videos only further tarnish Mr. O'Keefe's reputation as a deceptive editor. The only problem left is Mr. Bonifield's own response, but it looks like from his description that he is just expressing an opinion not representative of most of CNN's political "contributors". I'd love to know future directions on the standing of this page. Thanks.--

Don't know what news you're watching, but this has NOT been at "the top of the news". There were a couple articles about it. The whole Mika Brzezinsky and Joe Scarborough thing got wayyyyyy more attention and we don't even have an article on that (not that we necessarily should).
Volunteer Marek (

I don't know what news you're watching where they **aren't** covering this. The videos posted to Project Veritas's YouTube channel have 1 million+ views each (which admittedly isn't important, but shows it's at least quite notable). Fox News, Breitbart, New York Times, and Washington Post have all come out with reports on the story, and they were near the top of the website for a day or so.
Jdcomix (
talk) 16:07, 2 July 2017 (UTC)reply
The Post and the Times barely wrote anything about it except when mentioning O'Keefe's destroyed reputation. O'Keefe's crediblity has been questioned not once, not twice, but multiple times. He has been jailed for a federal crime and had to pay fines. Even with these CNN tapes, there are question marks about who these persons are, how representative they are of CNN as an organization (well, maybe except Zucker), and if what they said was situated deceptively in a context to achieve political gains. That is why these tapes are edit and not released raw. NYT, Post, NPR, etc. are reliable organizations that attempt to discuss issues from every part of the political spectrum fairly and objectively. Unfortunately that is not what you see on Fox News, Breitbart, or Drudge, not because they are conservative (WSJ is a world-class conservative organization), but because they are propagandistic. It tarnishes their reputation when they put O'Keefe on their frontpages.--
Smghz (

This will probably get a lot of heat, but although I agree with Fox News, Breitbart, and Drudge being heavily biased towards the right, NYT, WAPO, and NPR are clearly biased towards the left.

Keep in the strongest terms: The controversy has received widespread media coverage from every major outlet, and the coverage is ongoing.

Essentially the same as

The context for the advocacy seemed very unclear, but I think it is about a plan to pay pensions to retired army officers at the same rates as police officers, with some added complications, including a claimed inequality for the few hundred army officers at the highest ranks.

Keep Bradberry is a lot like
Keith Ferrazzi - his main notability is for having a NY Times best seller (in Bradberry's case
Emotional Intelligence 2.0), which he parlayed into a consulting career with speaking engagements and many published articles that are shared throughout social media. The concept of emotional intelligence in business is a category that he created. I don't know the rule of thumb for author notability, but I do know that
Harper Lee and
JD Salinger were considered notable after one book. I'm certainly not comparing their societal impact, but you can Google Travis Bradberry in quotes and get almost 2.5 million hits. Harper Lee gets you 433K. Bradberry's book has almost 1,000 reviews on Amazon and is still ranked in the top ten in several business categories, after almost exactly 8 years, and is currently Amazon's #262 book overall. I just spent a half hour looking for good sources of media coverage, and found a lot of podcasts and panel appearances. I'll keep looking when I have more time. I may put in a section about his activities as a speaker and panelist, and source it with links to the more well-known forums and shows he's appeared at.

GretLomborg (
talk) 12:51, 22 June 2017 (UTC)reply
That is the crux of the discussion. My argument in support of his notability is for the work he's done to promote the concept rather than just publishing the book and waiting for people to read it. He would not have the search visibility if he was a recluse like Harper Lee and JD Salinger. If we're going to keep the article the challenge will be quantifying that effect which I will take a shot at and hopefully move the needle a little bit. .
Timtempleton (

He's not notable because I see no evidence of a

I think rather than try to make a case for notability by adding info about being a public speaker, which I think would be considered promotionalism to casual readers, I added a sentence in the lede about his authorship of articles for online magazines. Still a bit promotional, but I think it makes a better case now for notability. I also see some minor coverage that I missed before - will add.

Article about a city neighborhood, which is not a well-established community with a properly sourced or notable history. Per GEOLAND, neighborhoods must meet GNG for a separate article. Article has five sources, all of which are primary (City of Calgary). Searching primarily turns up routine real-estate listings. Insufficient coverage in independent RS.
MB 02:26, 28 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep based on longstanding consensus that all residential neighbourhoods in Calgary and Edmonton are notable enough for articles. This article was created in good faith based on the precedent that all others had articles. Although a newer neighbourhood, it is no less important than an older established neighbourhood that only has the benefit of more time passed to accrue a more fulsome history. It will accumulate its history over time. Surely some non-City of Calgary sources can be found. If this is deleted on these grounds, surely dozens and dozens of Calgary's other ~200 residential neighbourhoods are eligible to suffer the same fate as well. I'd much rather see a single deletion discussion of a large volume of these similar articles rather than picking them off one-by-one, such as is currently and suddenly the case with this,

The guidance on what qualifies as 'significant coverage' is rather vague, leaving me uncertain. Still I'd like to mention a couple things. The first book source I listed has over two pages covering the MSAA. The Multiple Sclerosis News Today is an independent source which has many non-trivial articles covering MSAA as well as other multiple sclerosis organizations and related news. This
[38] search of their site (some but not all results address MSAA) could provide material to expand the article. I have no objection to Userfication if the creator is interested.

The Multiple Sclerosis News Today and dozens of other <disease_name> News Today portals
[39] run by BioNews Services actually pull nearly all of their content from the websites of disease-specific charities. Hence MSAA's name there. But being mentioned on those portals should not confer notability. —

Comment - Hmmmm, Newspapers.com is slim pickings indeed. I did find
THIS mentioning the group from a 2002 piece on the launch of Charity Navigator:
CN rates nonprofits on a scale of zero to four stars. Nearly 70 percent of the charities evaluated so far have ratings of three stars or better. Only 23 received zero stars. Several in this dubious category are what Stamp calls "sound-alike" charities, including the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA). Some givers confuse that charity with the four-star National Multiple Sclerosis Society.MSAA is spending somewhere around 30 cents on the dollar for actual research, and "the rest is just spent on direct-mail campaigns," Stamp says. "It's clear we didn't need the MS Association of America."
I'm not spotting any histories of the organization counting towards GNG and most of the news coverage I'm seeing relates to their fundraising rather than programmatic efforts.

This currently doesn't establish notability. There is just one good source, but that alone is not enough. Sort of back and forth on this. For one, it is quite iconic, but simply being iconic doesn't necessarily mean sources exist. It is a common setting so finding proper sources seems like it would be quite annoying even with narrowing down search terms. Either way, you'll be seeing dozens and dozens of single time mentions that will provide no real context. If someone wants to take the time to work on it, I certainly don't mind withdrawing immediately.

Keep. As the nominator notes, there are independent sources on this article, although I am not so quick to discount the ones presented so far or to doubt that there are plenty more out there. When this article was
first nominated for AFD back in 2008, it was closed as a
snow keep, and at that time
[47] it had none of these sources at all. I don't see why meeting
WP:GNG should be in doubt on this topic, and AFD is not cleanup.
BOZ (

There is one independent source that deals with real world information. There is not one other source in the article that details anything of that nature. It might not be impossible to source it, but someone has to prove that they do exist. The previous AfD also included the module as part of the article at that point, but that has since been split out. Sources are needed for the fictional location, or if someone wants to merge it to the module, which I didn't really realize existed as of nominating it. If someone does want to merge it, I will also withdraw in that case.

This is not being used for cleanup, other than my idea of maybe merging it to the module it after realizing that it exists after the fact. Though deleting and redirecting wouldn't really hurt anything either. There is one source that provides any real world information, and the other two or three third party sources are not used for a real world context. They could be removed without losing any content, so they cannot be counted towards notability, Just because I think that there may be potential doesn't mean it should be assumed to exist just because this may be objectively iconic. That's a pretty common trend, where something is kept and never improved. And that's not because nobody has bothered to work on them, but because it turns out the topic was not actually notable in the first place. I certainly have no qualms if someone wants to prove me wrong, but please don't pretend sources exist without even providing any.
TTN (
talk) 21:18, 20 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep per all of the above, particularly the clean-up angle. Sources exist. Just because sussing them out may take additional effort, that doesn't mean the article should be held hostage at AFD. Here's one I found after only a minute on
io9/Gizmodo. It gets into a decent amount of detail on various aspects of the inhabitants and conditions there.
Here is an interview with the producer of a module centered around the Underdark. It's almost certain other high quality sources can be found. —Torchiesttalkedits 02:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Not that I really have any hope of swaying this AfD at this point, but neither of those would provide any of the needed substance to the article. They would verify that the Underdark does in fact appear in those settings, but neither of those provide actual real world information that deal directly with the topic. You'd have to something like "'generic article' says 'generic by the book statement that provides no particular substance' about the Underdark." That would just be putting improper weight on those sources. You would want to find more articles describing the iconic status of the Underdark, which I'm really not sure exist in enough abundance, or plenty of creative input from the original creators and probably any commentary Salvatore has had on the settting.
TTN (
talk) 03:08, 21 June 2017 (UTC)reply
The io9 is a conversation between a journalist and a game designer about the histories of various races living in the Underdark, and the process of adding new content to the setting for the new campaign. I think it's pretty detailed and strongly helps to establish notability. The second one is more passing, true, but again, this was based on a just a couple minutes of effort. More sources can be found. —Torchiesttalkedits 04:38, 21 June 2017 (UTC)reply
I'm sure there are plenty of sources with the topic in the title, but that does not mean that they will actually provide any substance to the article. That mentions nothing specific about the Underdark as a whole, so none of that would be included in this article. Anything pertaining to the development of the races belongs in the articles of those races. It mentions really absolutely nothing about the topic in general that could be really even used in this. The only thing would be a note in a development history section that the campaign took place in this setting, which has nothing to do with notability. Please at least find one source that could actually be used. I'm not demanding instant improvement to the article, but I just hate all these conversations where people are claiming there are sources and cannot actually produce a single source that would help the article.

Keep based on longstanding consensus that all residential neighbourhoods in Calgary and Edmonton are notable enough for articles. This article was created in good faith based on the precedent that all others had articles. Although a newer neighbourhood, it is no less important than an older established neighbourhood that only has the benefit of more time passed to accrue a more fulsome history. It will accumulate its history over time. Surely some non-City of Calgary sources can be found. If this is deleted on these grounds, surely dozens and dozens of Calgary's other ~200 residential neighbourhoods are eligible to suffer the same fate as well. I'd much rather see a single deletion discussion of a large volume of these similar articles rather than picking them off one-by-one, such as is currently and suddenly the case with this,
