The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Speedy delete. The article was deleted (as A10) for unrelated reasons some time after this AfD was created.

The AfD is being closed many years later, because it was never properly closed back then, because it was never visible, because it was never transcluded on any of the daily logpages. Technically, it has still been open this whole time.

Nobody else could ever be admitted here, because this door was made only for you. I am now going to shut it. (non-admin closure) jp×g 09:22, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Total Drama Series Elimination

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I think this article should be deleted as it has small notability, cites no references, and is a list as its only content.DeadlyOps (talk) 20:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:IINFO. The article may also qualify as a speedy delete under section A10 if this content already exists in the Total Drama Island article. I'll report back in a jiffy. elektrik SHOOS 20:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Krieglstein

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Biographical article fails WP:BIO. I heretofore list the individual's accomplishments and explain why they do not establish notability as defined by Wikipedia.

Co-founded Swift Kick: the company itself is not notable
First person in line for Barack Obama's election night rally: not notable, nor even an "accomplishment"
Third runner in The Today Show's Race to the Altar: not notable
First student from the College of DuPage to be named to the USA Today All-USA Academic First Team: interesting but not notable
Received Campus Speaker of the Year award from the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities: again, interesting but not in and of itself notable

In support of the individual's lack of notability is the fact that the creator and significant contributor to the article (Dkriegls, who accounts for 60% of the article's edits) appears to be a family member of the individual and has even written about himself in the article and included a picture of himself with Tom (flagrant self-promotion). The individual has received some glancing remarks in reliable sources but only for news artifacts trivial in nature.

I appreciate the main editor's efforts to format the article according to Wikipedia standards, but in order to maintain the integrity of the encyclopedia, articles not meeting notability requirements must be deleted. —Eustress ^talk 00:34, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, your precis has certainly left some seemingly-important things out, such as Krieglstein being the subject of an interview in PC World. — goethean ॐ 00:54, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Sorry, didn't mean to leave anything out.) Yes, he spammed Facebook fans of Star Wars. But again, he was not interviewed for any expertise but merely because he happened upon a glitch. Could have happened to anyone with a Facebook account. —Eustress ^talk 00:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's an interpretation, the word spam not occuring in the article. — goethean ॐ 01:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Either way, does not convey notability. —Eustress ^talk 01:40, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Simply being a bishop doesn't seem to be a significant enough claim of notability. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 23:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Actually, being an Anglican bishop is considered notable per se. This needs to be sourced better, but that's another issue. Bearian (talk) 23:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For my own information, is this fact included in one of the notability guidelines? -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 00:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, but at every recent attempt (since at least Feb. 2007), to PROD or delete the biography of a bishop of a major church, has ended up in a "keep." How this was deleted back in 2006 only the Lord knows. The Anglican church is the 2nd largest church in Australia. Literally millions of Anglicans around the world (and Episcopalians in the United States) pray at least once a year for the health of Bishop Stevens. Have you Googled his name? I added a few citations, but if I listed every citation it would run into the thousands. Bearian (talk) 00:18, 9 July 2010 (UTC) PS I found 22 such sources here. Bearian (talk) 00:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even if not all bishops are notable, he has been shown thusly. I have added several citations and more information as to why he is notable, and have improved the article sufficiently for it to be kept. Bearian (talk) 00:40, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Bearian's reasoning (Bishops and higher or equivalent in non-Christian organized religions are indeed per se notable) and his improvements to date. Jclemens (talk) 05:53, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's not in any notability guidelines, but it looks like a lot of people use "bishop and above" as a rule of thumb for clerical notability. In other words, it falls under WP:OUTCOMES. Anyway, all the normal bishop-type things are now in the article. St Anselm (talk) 07:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zeno Sustac

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This guy does not appear to have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", as called for by WP:N. Let's go through the references used. Footnote 1 is a resume on a mediation page, and obviously not independent of the subject. Footnote 2 merely mentions that he sits on some mediation council, but does not offer "significant coverage" about him. Footnotes 3, 5 and 7-10 are articles he has written, but which do not provide "significant coverage" about the subject. Footnote 4 merely cites a work he has written, while footnote 6 mentions in passing that he attended a meeting. In sum, none of the references used demonstrate the degree of notability expected for stand-alone articles. Biruitorul ^Talk 22:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unless there's something special about him not noted in the article -- and if there is, I can't find it. Article says he's "arbitrator of the Court [of] International Commercial Arbitration"; yeah, him and another over 100 people. (I've updated this to "an arbitrator" and corrected the court name, among other things). He's co-president of the Romanian National Union of Mediators; if that body were sufficiently notable to have an article, I'd suggest redirecting to it, but no such article exists.

Septuple champion

Proposed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_arts/Article_Review 3rd June 2010.
WP:NRVE "No reliable sources found to verify notability". This term applies to anyone who's won something 7 times. There's no indication that it applies solely to boxing. Papaursa (talk) 22:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- although "Seven-division champion" is a more popular name, if we used that name, there are [1] several] possible references that can be used. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 00:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The title does not appear to be notable in itself. I do not see any difference between this title and something like 'seven-time Wimbledon champion' (for example). Hypothetically speaking, someone could be notable for being a seven-time Wimbledon champion, and there might even be a few people who are seven-time Wimbledon champions, but that does not make the title notable—unless it becomes well known and widely used in its own right. Janggeom (talk) 14:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Triple Champion, Quadruple Champion, etc. to Boxers with multiple world championship titles. None of them are notable enough to stand on their own, but are collectively worth an article IMO. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure any of these articles need to remain. All of that information is already in the articles on the individual boxers, so I'm not sure that any new information is being added. One thing that bothers me is the description of winning multiple divisions. For example, 3 of Manny Pacquiao's 7 titles are featherweight and 2 are welterweight--just different organizations. Seven time world champion I would buy, 7 divisions doesn't mean quite the same thing. Having said all of that, it would be OK with me if someone merged all of those articles into 1. Papaursa (talk) 03:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pacquiao had 9 world championships, seven in different divisions. The main difference with seven-time Wimbledon champion is like this is the grand slam in any form (annual/career/boxed set). A seven-time Wimbledon champion is like a seven-time middleweight champion. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 07:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I take Howard the Duck's point about 'seven-time Wimbledon champion' perhaps not being the best analogy (though my basic question remains). I think Clarityfiend's suggestion of merging the articles could be a good compromise, and I also think that 'boxing' should be added into the article title(s) in any case. As Papaursa noted, anyone who has won something seven times qualifies as a 'septuple champion' (if no activity or discipline is specified). Just a few thoughts. Janggeom (talk) 09:18, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the old days, winning three championships in three separate weight divisions in boxing is a considerable feat; now with the several in-between weight divisions (the junior- and super- weight divisions), winning seven has now become sorta "The Treble"; as Apples below notes, only Pacquiao has been recognized universally to do such a feat. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 17:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As Pacquiao is the only seven weight champion it seems silly to have an article. Having Héctor Camacho on it is a complete joke. Mr.Apples2010 (talk) 18:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all I was going to say all of those articles should be removed, but I like the idea of merging them all into 1 article and titling it so that it's clear it refers just to boxing. Astudent0 (talk) 12:39, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances in a list of wedding planners, an anecdote about the hiring process, or a side mention in an article about the low pay of interns do not establish that this business has had any significant effect on history, technology, or culture.

Delete per WP:ADVERT. Sources currently listed in the article do not pass WP:RS nor do they establish notability. An observation on both the original author and the nominator: First, the author: The original author's first edit is this, which hints (but proves nothing) that this editor could work for an advertising agency and be attempting to "advertise" for this company by increasing their web presence. He/she sure seems to know a lot about it. Also note another article this user created: Jennifer Gilbert (founder of Save the Date). Their whole contribution history looks suspicious. Next, the nominator: this article was nominated for deletion two minutes after it was created. That kind of behavior is disruptive and is specifically discouraged in the instructions at the top of Special:Newpages, where you presumably found this article. Please give editors a chance (i.e. a couple of hours, at a bare minimum) to create the article before you nominate it for deletion. Feel free to tag it with cleanup tags when it is first created, and then maybe come back the next day and nominate it if it hasn't been improved. Better yet, patrol new pages from the back of the queue. SnottyWong ^yak 23:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination on behalf of an IP / new user who had trouble completing the nomination. The reason for deletion is given below. decltype (talk) 20:26, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination Statement

Deletion of this BLP is proposed for the following reasons:

1. Unsourced claims. This article contains numerous unsourced claims, indicated by "[citation needed]," "[chronology source needed]," and "[dubious – discuss]." One even says, "On XXXX[chronology source needed]..."

These unsourced claims account for over half the paragraphs in the article.

WP:BLP is clear that unsourced material is not permitted:

Be very firm about the use of high quality sources. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced--whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable--should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who constantly or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing. WP:BLP

Moreover, many of the sources are primary (original documents) that are not referenced to a secondary source, and the secondary sources are from a small group of news media (several references to PRNewswire, a couple to BusinessWeek, one to Parade magazine), contrary to WP policy:

Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and to avoid novel interpretations of primary sources, though primary sources are permitted if used carefully. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors. WP:OR

Exercise caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts, other court records, or other public documents to support assertions about a living person, unless a reliable secondary source has published the material. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses. WP:BLP

WP:N/CA says, "multiple sources are required, not just multiple references from a single or small number of sources" and "ideal sources are books and scholarly articles offering substantial treatment of the individual and the background for their involvement."

According to WP:BLP, "Pages that are unsourced and negative in tone, and which appear to have been created to disparage the subject, should be deleted at once if there is no policy-compliant version to revert to."

2. Mention of uninvolved people. The article mentions Caton's ex-wife, current wife, and minor son, along with the dates of the marriages. It also mentions his grandfather. These are contrary to Wikipedia policy:

The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons. WP:BLP

Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses. WP:BLP

3. Superfluous structure. Two sections ("Issues related to Federal Charges" and "Background on legal issues" have vague titles and only one or two sentences in them.

4. Not notable. To the extent Caton is known, it results from his entanglement with the FDA. However, Wikipedia policies point out that this is not sufficient to warrant an article:

Merely being in the news does not imply someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them. WP:BLP

In accordance with WP:BIO1E and WP:BLP1E, perpetrators and victims of high-profile crimes do not automatically inherit the notability of such crimes nor do they automatically qualify as being notable enough to have stand-alone articles solely based on their status as perpetrators or victims. However, the victims and/or perpetrators of notable crimes may have articles under certain conditions. Notability with regards to this is normally defined as satisfying some other aspect of the notability of persons guideline that does not relate to the crime in question. WP:N/CA

Caton's problems with the FDA cannot be considered a "high-profile crime" or "notable crime."

If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted." WP:ONEEVENT

Not only is this "one event," but many of the sources are not reliable (i.e., nonexistent).

Caton's one event was his entanglement with the FDA. Although this occurred over an extended period, it is still one event, and he would not be known otherwise. Although he has some minor accomplishments, he would be unknown if not for his problems with the FDA.

Just deleting the material related to points 1, 2, and 3 would leave a very short article, even more unfocused than it already is, and would not address the notability problem.

Comment - Nominator of the earlier AfD reversed his vote for deletion in response to the appearance of new sources, but these were generally inappropriate under WP policies (see point 1 above). Therefore, there were no votes for deletion. This article has changed significantly since the earlier deletion posting, but the sources still have the same problems with establishing notability and with suitability for a BLP. Also, the subject's "iconic" status in vegan foods is such that there's no mention of it in the article. He wrote one book on the topic, self-published, now out of print.

Comment

"Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or popularity..." WP:N

"[I]f reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." WP:N

It was not a "big international incident," and bringing him back from S. America does not confer notability. Finemrespice (talk) 03:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The rationale for deletion is false: the article is sourced, if the overall tone is negative that is simply a reflection of the real world, which apparently considers this gentleman to be a snake oil salesman. That's not our problem to fix. Guy (Help!) 09:47, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very well said! --MelanieN (talk) 14:22, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - You may want to take another look at the rationale for deletion. The article doesn't meet Wikipedia's own policies for sourcing or notability. At the risk of repeating myself:

1. Many statements are literally unsourced (e.g., "[citation needed]").

2. Many others use primary sources without reference from a secondary.

3. Still others use multiple references from a small number of sources rather than multiple sources, such as Parade, BusinessWeek, and PRNewswire—not exactly "scholarly articles offering substantial treatment of the individual...."

4. It mentions uninvolved people. "The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members...."

5. It was written mostly by a person who admits to a "dim view of alternative medicine." Therefore, if, as you agree, the overall tone is negative, it's reasonable to assume the author has chosen to present it that way. "Pages that are unsourced and negative in tone, and which appear to have been created to disparage the subject, should be deleted at once...."

6. This is not even to mention the notability issue. Finemrespice (talk) 17:00, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response

1. If the tone of the article is negative about this person, it is because the reality is negative - as brilliantly pointed out by Guy. Any negative tone is not the result of someone "choosing to present it that way," it is a matter of public record. Mr. Caton himself admitted (through his guilty plea) that he is guilty of defrauding customers and violating FDA regulations. Mr. Caton himself admitted (in his patent application) that he was in violation of his probation. And it's not some Wikipedia editor saying that his "cancer cure" is worthless; it's the United States Food and Drug Administration. If we can't quote the FDA on something like that, who can we quote?

2. Far from being biased against him, the article bends over backward to give his side, supported by non-neutral references like Natural News.

3. I don't know where you got the claim above that he has to be the subject of "scholarly" articles. That's not a requirement, except for academics, which he is not. The requirement is that he be the subject of "significant coverage in independent reliable sources." Things like Parade Magazine and Business Week are independent reliable sources, and they have definitely given him significant coverage.

4. I agree with you about his family members, and it might be a good idea if somebody deleted the references to his wife and son. --MelanieN (talk) 23:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Comment: An SPA so far—I had to open an account to post an AfD. However, as WP:SPA points out, "a user who edits appropriately and makes good points that align with Wikipedia's communal norms, policies and guidelines should have their comment given full weight regardless of any tag." So, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, perhaps we can "Assume good faith." (WP:AGF))

(SPA is not an accusation of wrongoing, it is a statement of fact: "This user has made few or no contributions outside of this topic." That is a true statement with regard to you. Our editing histories are an open book here. Yours confirms that you registered as a Wikipedia editor purely for the purpose of deleting this article, and that has been your sole focus here. That is not a criticism, it is a material fact, to be evaluated by the closing administrator. --MelanieN (talk) 05:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC) )[reply]

As far as being the only vote for deletion, there was only one in the earlier AfD (until the commenter reversed it). You yourself were for it before you were against it. And two people are neutral, which means they don't oppose deletion. However, "Remember that while AfD may look like a voting process, it does not operate like one. Justification and evidence for a response carries far more weight than the response itself." (WP:AFD) Finemrespice (talk) 04:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response

1. I'm glad you also agree that the overall tone is negative. However, your argument represents a logical fallacy. If you have experience writing, you know that the selection of facts and the words used to describe them determine the tone of the piece. Since you're seeing only what the author decided was relevant, you don't know about facts that may have been omitted because they don't correspond to his agenda.

Actually, I researched the guy myself and I have made several edits based on that research. It was based on that research that I changed my mind. Earlier I wanted the article deleted because it made him sound like a quack. After independent research, I decided that if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck... --MelanieN (talk) 05:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See my response in the next paragraph. Finemrespice (talk) 06:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as believing what the press or any government agency says, I'm old enough to have acquired a healthy dose of skepticism. Caton points out that he signed the plea bargain reluctantly, because he felt he had no choice, even though it wasn't accurate. He never disputed that he violated probation (and explains why).

The FDA is known for its advocacy of, and revolving-door relationship with, the pharmaceutical industry. Many books have been written about this, including by doctors and insiders. If nothing else, the recent revelations about the relationship between the oil (and coal and timber) companies and their ostensible "regulators" at MMS and Interior, the biotech industry and USDA, and the banking industry and the Fed should convey the problem by analogy if you're not aware of it. The phenomenon is known as "regulatory capture."

Most advocates of alternative and unapproved medications (in which group I think you probably fall) are great advocates of conspiracy theories. They believe that Big Medicine and Big Government are conspiring to suppress effective treatments. They have to believe this, because it is the only way they can explain why (if their treatments are so effective) doctors and pharmaceutical companies have not embraced them. --MelanieN (talk) 05:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You want to watch out for sweeping generalizations—it undercuts your claim to objectivity. And as Henry Kissinger said, "Even paranoids have enemies." From what I've seen, most advocates of conventional medicine (in which group I think you probably fall) think everything is fine as is, even though hundreds of thousands of people die every year from doctor error and adverse drug reactions; the only acceptable tools are drugs, surgery, and radiation; the cost is astronomical; and the results are unimpressive. Many doctors are, in fact, interested in holistic medicine; others are unable to escape the effect of their schooling or their state medical boards, which are typically a bastion of conservatism. We know why pharmaceutical companies are uninterested in holistic remedies: they can't patent them.

If you can't extrapolate from the collusion between other industries and government (Regulatory Capture is, in fact, a Wikipedia article), you might be interested in this quote from an article by Shannon Brownlee in the April 2004 Washingtonian: "More than 60 percent of clinical studies—those involving human subjects—are now funded not by the federal government, but by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. That means that the studies published in scientific journals like Nature and The New England Journal of Medicine ... are increasingly likely to be designed, controlled, and sometimes even ghost-written by marketing departments, rather than academic scientists."

3. I notice that a number of people here think they know what a WP policy says, perhaps having looked at it at some point, but aren't familiar with the actual wording or details, which may not say what they think it says. The claim about "scholarly articles" is from WP:N/CA (quoted in point 1 of the nomination statement), which perhaps you would agree is relevant here. An article in Parade and a review in BusinessWeek about a book that mentions the subject hardly constitute "significant coverage."

This article appears fully in compliance with WP:N/CA. I have said my say. You have said yours. I will leave any further evaluation of sources to other readers here - and to the closing administrator. --MelanieN (talk) 05:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Um Joe: No "hijacking" necessary, in any case that would defy WP:ETIQUETTE. Many institutions and people share the same sort of names. That's why there are WP:DISAMBIGUATION pages or other methods. In this case, a typical Wikipedia solution is Yeshiva Torah Ohr (Chabad) or Yeshiva Torah Ohr (Florida) and the other could be Yeshiva Torah Ohr (Israel) or Yeshiva Torah Ohr (Jerusalem). But it's just that this particular institution (i.e. Yeshiva Torah Ohr (Chabad)/(Florida)) is simply not notable, it's not even a "yeshiva" as such from the one self-promotional link, it's just another way that Chabad conducts it Chabad outreach, and can be legitimately used as an example there.

- As far as I can see, all these sources only mention "Perendi" as an Albanian name of God, but not as any separate mythological personality. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Although there's something interesting, at least from an etymological perspective, here. So, from that source, I could write something along the lines of "Perendi is an Albanian name for God. It is thought to derive from the name of a pre-Christian sky god, etymologically related to names of ancient sky deities in several other Indo-European languages, such as Lithuanian Perkunas and Vedic Paranyas." But where? As a standalone entry, this would probably go against WP:NOTDICT, because it's purely about the word, not about the hypothetical deity itself (about which little or nothing seems to be known). Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Multiple reliable sources verify that Perendi was a distinct Albanian mythological figure: (1) "PRENDE is an ancient Illyrian love-goddess who was the consort of the thunder-god Perendi", (2) "Prende (north Albanian Prenne) Old Illyrian goddess of love, the female partner of the thunder-god Perendi. Today, she is nothing more than a Catholic saint, but in Albanian folk-belief she still rates 'queen of beauty' ... As is usual in many cultures, here too Friday is the day sacred to the goddess of love." — C M B J 23:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Please be more careful about detail: this does not show a "distinct Albanian mythological figure". Everything we've seen about actual Albanian culture shows only a name for "God". It's conjectured on etymological grounds to have been a distinct deity in pre-Christian, i.e. pre-Albanian times. And please don't cite items like The Secrets of Love Magick or Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases: the first is clearly not a reliable source, the second is sourced to Wikipedia. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:44, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly don't see how the second book could be any more unequivocal in that Perendi and Prende were once distinct Illyrian mythological figures, and it was published before either of the two Wikipedia articles were even created. I did not ever cite Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases, because, as you said, it cites Wikipedia and is not a reliable source. Seeing as modern usage of Perëndi is similar to that of Allah, we could perhaps move this article to Perendi (folklore) and disambiguate the main entry. — C M B J 09:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read more closely what I wrote: I said Perendi is not described as an Albanian mythological personality. About the Webster's Quotations, that's where your first link [9] seemed to lead. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(after ec): I really don't see how the split/move scenario should work out. What exactly would "Perendi (folklore)" be about? We essentially don't have anything about modern "folklore" regarding this name (unlike about Prende); we only know it's a name of God. And the ancient ("Illyrian" or otherwise pre-Christian) tradition is not part of "folklore", and we basically have no concrete information about it either, other than a piece of etymological conjecture leading to the hypothesis that such a god existed. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as the mythological figure of Prende seems to have transcended both Illyrian and Albanian cultures, it is at least vaguely possible that Perendi has as well. I found this source, but the implication seems ambiguous at best: "... the god of lightning and thunder ... Perendi of the Albanians or ancient Illyrians". Either way, for the sake of AfD, the difference is trivial; nonetheless, it was a keen observation. The folklore really is that Perendi was a mythological god of thunder, which in retrospect shares a common theme with Perun and Perkūnas. Perendi was derived from the same source as the other two, but it was adapted to Illyrian culture, as observed by becoming the consort of Prende. — C M B J 10:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You seem not to be aware how speculative this all is. The book link you cited now is to a work from 1829 – a time when Indo-European etymology was in its infancy, linguistic relationships of Albanian hadn't yet been researched at all, and knowledge of Illyrian was absolutely zero. There's no way that source could possibly be reliable. And you seem to be unaware how thorough our ignorance of Illyrian and the other ancient Balkanian cultures still is today. You sound as if we knew something about Illyrian gods. We don't. Nothing. The Illyrians didn't leave any written records. The only piece of evidence everything here is based on, is the mere fact of the existence of this word in modern Albanian. Everything else is conjecture: that it was a pre-Christian god, that that god would have been a sky/weather god, that he was a "consort" to a second deity related to "Prende", and that the pre-Christian culture in which all this happened was the Illyrian one (the latter conjecture is based on the hypothesis of Illyrian descent of the Albanians, which is taken for granted by some authors, but treated as a highly speculative conentious hypothesis by the actual experts.)

Update: This source, Elsie's Dictionary of Albanian religion, mythology and folk culture, describes "Prende" as a synonym of "Saint Paraskevi" or "Saint Veneranda" (Paraskevi of Rome in Christian tradition), though possibly connected to the cult of a pre-Christian goddess.

Keep - Can't access Elsie's dictionary now (used it way too many times), but we have this online article on Prende The third saint to be mentioned in connection with the Albanians is rather special because, strictly speaking, she does not really exist. Saint Veneranda, Albanian Shënepremte or Prende, known in Geg dialect as Prenne or Petka -- Greek Paraskevi, Ag. Paraskeuhv, Romanian Sfânta Paraschiva, was originally a pre-Christian deity and came to be identified by the Catholic Church with Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. In Albania, she is known at any rate as Saint Veneranda. [10]. Basically the pre-Christian Prende was identified with Saint Ann in Christian times, however Elsie specifically mentions that Prende was a pre-Christian deity.

Delete as neologism with few sources and none cited. It should be noted that Family Guy was not the first show ever to return from being cancelled; for example, Cagney & Lacey was cancelled in 1983 and brought back in 1984. If you don't think that the gap between that show's cancellation and revival was long enough, consider The Jetsons, which was cancelled in 1963 and brought back in syndication in 1985 with all of the main original voice cast members despite the 22-year gap. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Air Force Blues

Webcomic which fails WP:WEB - no significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. The one Army Times article doesn't seem enough to base the whole article on, and seeing as its published by his employer, it's probably not independent. Claritas § 17:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

United States Air Force certainly is his employer. Unless AirForceTimes is unaffiliated with the American air force, which I somehow doubt, it's not an independent publication. In any case, there's only one reliable independent source for the article, which falls short of WP:WEB. Claritas § 09:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the Air Force Times is operated by a for-profit civilian company that is in no way affiliated with the United States Air Force. This is evidenced by the assertions at the bottom of the page. Joint Task Force Bravo and Air Force Public Affairs Agency do share a common parent employer with the author of the webcomic, but they do not hold any stake in the webcomic itself, which was not created as part of official duty. — C M B J 10:30, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - many scientific signed communiques are professionals having scientific ranks and scientific degrees of the professor and the doctor of sciences. The most part of these scientists world famous in sphere of sciences about the Earth and other areas of a science. Many scientists are heads of scientific research institutes of national academies of sciences of the different countries, heads of scientific laboratories and geological services and departments, rectors of large Universities. From the signed communiques of scientists pages in English, Russian, German and other versions Wikipedia have a part. Nobody can call into question professional level or a celebrity of these scientists. I ask to pay attention, that it is the communique - not the formal initiative. It is the true democratic initiative around extremely important problem for all mankind. Why about 300 scientists from 78 countries which have huge authority and the importance in the theirs countries have spent time to sign the communique and to give the comments and recommendations? It has very simple explanation. These scientists understand huge importance of the problems considered in the communique for mankind safe development.

Many mass-media in which the information on the communique is published are the most known news agencies and newspapers in the countries. For example "Kazakhstan Today" - the largest information system in Kazakhstan. The newspaper "Evening Moscow" - one of the most popular newspapers in Russia. News agencies of other countries also are recognised newspapers. I think, that it is very actual and timely article necessary for Wikipedia. 375geo (talk) 15:48, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the article is unsourced (fails WP:V) and contains too many quotations for a Wikipedia article. The article may serve a better purpose at Wikitionary and quotes at Wikiquote. Andrewmc123 12:59, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate. The original material is original research; the portions added as a disambiguation page might be worth keeping. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 17:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, the real original material in this article was in part taken from the 1911 Britannica's article on loyalty. The material here has been added since, with almost all of the original Britannica content lost over the years to random editing. Moreover, the material in the article at the time of nomination most definitely was not original research. Josiah Royce wrote an entire book on his conception of loyalty. He called it The Philosophy of Loyalty. It was published in 1907 and has sparked further discussion on the subject of loyalty, referencing Royce, since. The notion that it is "original research" to state that in Wikipedia, and to make a start at explaining what Royce stated (as others have analysed it since), is ridiculous, and an abuse of the original research policy. Uncle G (talk) 22:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is not an abuse of the original research policy to say that most of the article is uncited original research when it in fact is. The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica entry for "loyalty" reads in its entirety:
    LOYALTY, allegiance to the sovereign or established government of one's country, also personal devotion and reverence to the sovereign and royal family. The English word came into use in the early part of the 15th century in the sense of fidelity to one's oath, or in service, love, &c.; the later and now the ordinary sense appears in the 16th century. The O. Fr. loialte, mod. loyauti, is formed from loial, loyal, Scots leal, Lat. legalis, legal, from lex, law. This was used in the special feudal sense of one who has full legal rights, a legalis homo being opposed to the exlex, utlegatus, or outlaw. Thence in the sense of faithful, it meant one who kept faithful allegiance to his feudal lord, and so loyal in the accepted use of the word.[17]
    The entire bit about marketing, the Bible, Plato, animals, etc. is summoned out of thin air. The so-called real original material was speculation based on love of one's "family, gene-group, and friends," and similar musings. originaldiff from current Nor is there a question of whether there is something to be said about loyalty, but whether those things aren't already said (and better said) in the articles brand loyalty, allegiance, fidelity, etc. Hence the propriety of keeping this as a disambiguation page and getting rid of the original research that formed the entirety of the article prior to this AfD (the word's etymology and definition aside). RJC ^Talk_Contribs 01:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - You didn't read the references section of the current article to spot the Britannica notice, and you haven't read the whole of the version that you've just linked to, either, else you would have found where the text that you quote is right there in the article. And no, the Biblical reference isn't "summoned out of thin air", either. My goodness! One could source that particular view of loyalty to several centuries' worth of written word. You are grasping at straws, here, attempting to justify what is an unjustifiable bending of the original research policy completely out of its proper shape. Uncle G (talk) 01:35, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'll ask you not to tell me what I've read and haven't read. I did not deny that the EB text was in the article: I was saying that attributing the article to the EB cannot stand when that is all the EB said: the definition and etymology. Watch it with the incivility, would you? It causes you to mistake the positions of others. And the juxtaposition of Biblical references is a synthesis.

*Disambiguate - per WP:NOTDICT, and the arguments above. Claritas § 20:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The arguments above aren't particularly good. No-one at all seems to have noticed this article's origins in Britannica, indicating that no-one has read the current references section, let alone looked at the article's history. And philosophical discussion of the subject, by philosophers from Plato to Royce, is erroneously labelled "original research". (Unless no-one read that part of the article either.) Uncle G (talk) 22:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep article. I was probably slightly influenced here by the status of the nominator. Claritas § 13:43, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If the SEP can have a lengthy article on the subject, and philosophical treatises on the subject by people from Josiah Royce to Richard P. Mullin (see chapter 15 of ISBN 9789042016354, for example) have been written and published over the past century or so, which this article did indicate at the time of nomination, it is a shame that Wikipedia editors can only envisage a disambiguation. Really all of this belongs at loyalty (disambiguation), because there really are a lot of sources discussing this subject in depth, from which a viable article can be built. Other encyclopaedias have done so. Indeed, this article began from an article in another encyclopaedia on this subject. Uncle G (talk) 22:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Uncle G. The concept of loyalty is one of the prima facie absolute moral values. There is plenty of academic writing on the subject. We should dis-disambiguate the content and start a full fledged article.Greg Bard (talk) 23:37, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I surely would have no objection to creating a separate disambiguation page and moving the disambig content there. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 02:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and split per Uncle G. Loyalty is a biological (and philosophical) concept that undoubtedly warrants its own article. — C M B J 23:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep An important moral virtue which is the subject of thousands of books. Colonel Warden (talk) 00:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a very important concept that is the focus of tons of commentary and analysis. It is articles about broad and historically significant concepts such as this that we should work on improving and as such, this is one of the last subjects that I'd think of ever deleting. A disambigutation page may be appropriate for convienience sake, but if we decide to go that route, we should set up another entry which focuses on the moral concept of loyalty. Them From Space 02:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep a vital concept. — goethean ॐ 05:08, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Loyalty is perhaps a simple concept, but it is an important one. Honesty, respect, courage and honour are difficult subjects to tackle for an encyclopedia. But when you consider the ways these concepts are treated across different cultures and philosophies, it becomes apparent that wiktionary is not sufficient to satisfy a thirsty mind. If loyalty does not meet the criteria for inclusion, then neither do any of those, nor any other virtues. That said, this article could use a lot of heavy lifting and there should be a disambiguation page at Loyalty (disambiguation). Gobonobo ^T ^C 07:50, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Loyalty is an important concept. Its gets plenty of coverage in the news and books(click the Google news search at the top of the AFD for examples). As often as loyalty comes up in the news, it should be a clear case. There are loyalty oaths, and the opposite of loyalty is treason, a very serious crime punishable by death in some cases.

Conduit (Series)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is simply a duplicate of The Conduit, which the author acknowledges because he linked to that when he create it. The article should probably have been speedy deleted under category A10 and possibly still could be, although the article is now three months old. Note that this article now contains additional biographies of characters from the game not in The Conduit; these have recently been merged in by the same author because the separate articles on them have been nominated for deletion - but there is no consensus yet to merge, and if there is they can still be merged to an appropriate target; there is no need for them here. Delete as an unneccessary duplicate or an inappropriate fork of the original. I42 (talk) 22:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep except with major revisions. Currently, I think it is good. Although I am slightly afraid that it might sound like an advertisment in its current state.

Delete - There just isn't enough coverage to pass WP:GNG when it comes to the series as a while. Individual games maybe, but only one has been released. Not enough notability to warrant a series article. --Teancum (talk) 17:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep! As more information comes out, we cannot put it all into Conduit 2. I'm cleaning up this article. I can add more coverage! --Schmeater (talk)

What establishes notability here? I understand you want to contribute, and I'm glad you are, but articles must meet the General Notability Guidelines and be referenced with reliable, published sources. I can't find any reliable sources in regards to the series as a whole, nor the characters themselves - only sources on one game or the other. Also, please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). Series articles should deal less with telling things from an in-universe perspective, and more about the development of the series, the reception, sales, legacy, etc. It has to have some background, sure, but it needs to be balanced, much like The Conduit is. The series hasn't been established by reliable sources as notable at this point. However, I'd be willing to have this article userfied to your own personal user page so that you can continue to develop it. It may be notable once the sequel is out and the media starts to cover the series, but right now there's no coverage at all on the series as a whole. --Teancum (talk) 12:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete, two games do not a series make. Come back in three years when you have another two games in your series. The "article" is just a bunch of in-universe babble which should already be adequately covered in the main game page, which it is (kudos to whoever made the main article so good, btw, it looks almost GA quality).

Which, no offense, even further proves the point that its not time for a series article. --Teancum (talk) 23:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep there might be enough common elements between the two games for a series article. Once the game comes out it is more likely. This is a better way to cover some of those common plot elements too. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:45, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article has undergone further changes since nomination: the game articles have been removed leaving only the character / faction sections; the article should probably therefore be renamed appropriately. Note that the separate AfD on the separate character articles at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Drudge is running in parallel and now essentially concerns the same subject. I42 (talk) 18:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the information in WP may be useful for other users too, so I spent some efforts to create the page. I understand that amount of effort is not a sufficient reason for a page to be kept in WP.

For users that need to back up their data on-site for rapid data recovery and off-site to prevent data loss due to disaster such as fire, this product is notable. Unfortunately, it seems that none of the users are columnists of the New York Times. Opinions from backup software users will be appreciated. - Seakskyk (talk) 9:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Comment in reply Notability in the context of these discussions is defined by WP:N and other guidelines linked from there. This is absolutely different than the usual dictionary definition of "notability", and this leads to some confusion on a regular basis. To be clear, the purpose of WP:N isn't just about a product or person or whatever being "good enough" to be notable. It's instead largely about the idea that to write a useful, neutral article about something based on something more than the authors personal research, as a modest protection against biased articles as much as anything. I can say (in this context) that the product is non-notable, but that I'm personally planning on looking to see if it is useful to me (which I am), without irony. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Searched for sources myself, I don't see the existence of multiple, independent, WP:NPOV [{WP:RS]]'s. As such, I believe the article fails not only WP:N but WP:V. Note that there is no separate notability guideline that has reached consensus for software (there are at least two failed proposals), but even if there were, I don't believe there is any conssensus that a specific subject-area notability guideline actually overrules the general notability guideline of WP:N, so even if there were a subject-specific guideline, it is my opinon that the GNG would still apply. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As the US company was non-operative from 1931 until the 1940s, and the UK company was only active 1933 to 1935, it would have been a difficult case to bring.

Weasels in fiction

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG. The references cited do not amount to significant coverage. Apparently created in an attempt to reinforce the notability of List of fictional weasels, which has also been nominated for deletion. Gobonobo ^T ^C 05:59, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Since neither source is specifically about weasels in fiction this looks like a violation of WP:SYNTH. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both sources have the word weasel in their title and the second of them is entirely about fiction too. This is therefore highly specific.

Ha ha ha ha! That's almost classic SYNTH. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:55, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While that is a classic WP:VAGUEWAVE. What is the synthetic proposition advanced here? Please state this and explain how the article goes beyond the sources supplied. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is notable as demonstrated by the sources. The other article is irrelevant per WP:WAX. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- incidental sources that briefly discuss a subject in the context of something else do not confer wiki notability. I realise that you have your own version of what should be in wikipedia but it would be nice to see the occasional AFD argument that actually chimed with policy. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:N is not a policy and so this point is also counterfactual. That guideline gives as an example of trivial passing coverage, a one sentence mention of an unrelated topic in a biography of Bill Clinton. We clearly have more substantial sourcing than this here and, given that our topic is a newly created stub, there is no evidence that further detailed sources are lacking. The relevant policy here is WP:IMPERFECT which specifically encourages us to support the creation of modest stubs and to develop them further. Our policy also enjoins us to preserve respectable sourced material rather than to delete it. Policy-based argument therefore clearly refutes your position which seems to be just WP:IDONTLIKEIT with a strong dash of WP:ADHOM. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:ONUS its for you to prove the sources exist, not for us to prove that they don't. You can't prove a negative with sources anyway. Can you provide detailed sources that discuss weasels in literature? Concerning your second point, N is a very strong guidelines and is close to policy and, in any event, I used policy in a general sense. Spartaz ^Humbug! 06:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We have two good sources already which are quite satisfactory to support the points made in the article. There is not the slightest policy-based reason to delete. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
*cough* it appears that only you hold that view. Don't you find it worrying that after making so many contributions to deletion debates that you still haven't got a clue about how to evaluate notability through sources? Spartaz ^Humbug! 12:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly worries me. SnottyWong ^speak 14:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No, every permutation of a possible combination is not notable. Google books makes finding reliable sources much easier but also makes it easier to find permutations of random nouns (not even really much of a permutation here). Peaches in fiction could easily get a bunch of keyword hits from James and the Giant Peach alone, and probably a lot more from smut, but that doesn't guarantee inclusion. This article uses the example of one work, with two sources, one of them is a scientific discussion about weasels, and the other is actually about "Goblins, Morlocks, and weasels: classic fantasy and the Industrial Revolution." ~~And lest you think we've left this topic under-covered we have List of fictional weasels which appears to be in no danger of leaving us.~~ If this AfD passes then the Morlocks in fiction article is due. Shadowjams (talk) 07:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Shadowjams (talk) 09:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Er, yes. Morlocks are a fictional race of humans in the far future and so there are no real ones, as there are with weasels. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The two refs are easily dealt with in appropriate articles. Delete as not notable and per WP:NOT. Also WP:SYNTH per Spartaz. Verbal chat 07:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - topic really hasn't received enough significant coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Colonel Warden has a history of creating articles in order to advance his line of argument in AFD debates - in this case the AFD for List of fictional weasels - and while this in itself is not a reason to delete, when compounded with the complete lack of significant coverage of the topic and WP:SYN issues, this is a clear candidate for deletion. Claritas § 08:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I see no indication that CW created the List of Weasels article. That said, it's at AfD now. Shadowjams (talk) 08:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I see no notable references to the concept in general - finding ~~references to~~ examples of individual fictional weasels and constructing a general article from those is Synthesis. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:09, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The sources provided address the concept in general and do not dwell on any particular fictional weasel. Your argument is therefore counterfactual. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:26, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, what I meant was "finding examples of individual fictional weasels..." - amended above. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:41, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Dover (Cotswold Games)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Robert Dover is notable only for starting the Cotswold Olimpick Games. There isn't anything else remotely notable about him that isn't already mentioned in that article, and there never will be.

Its silly to have such a short stub article. Better to delete it, and redirect it to the Games article instead. Parrot of Doom 21:36, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of People-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 16:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Cotswold Olimpick Games, as I tried to do earlier. Very little is known about Dover other than his organisation of the Games, and it's impossible to discuss him without focusing on the 17th-century political and religious significance of the Games. Malleus Fatuorum 22:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It appears that the proposer does not in fact want the article deleted but rather redirected. Presumably there will be zero support for deletion. Should this be closed now? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 06:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it shouldn't. Parrot of Doom 13:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Are you seriously expecting support for deletion? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Lets just keep the crystal balls out of it, ok? Parrot of Doom 19:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is about Dover. He is an important part of the Cotswold Olimpick Games, as founder, but it has a 400-year history, and it unbalances the COG article to require it to maintain the life of Dover as a sub-article. What happens if later editors decide to pare down the material on Dover in COG? Where does that material go. Answer: the article on Robert Dover. QED. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 06:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The "sub-article" you allude to amounts to less than a single paragraph. On the other hand, almost 50% of this one is about the Games, not about Dover, so it's rather easy to see which article is unbalanced. Malleus Fatuorum 14:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I said it was the requirement to maintain that material that would unbalance the article. In terms of word-count, your "almost 50%" is almost exactly one-third. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 16:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - No, it is precisely 42%. Your maintenance argument is an empty one, as there is nothing to maintain. It is exceedingly unlikely that any further light will be shone on Robert Dover's life other than what we already know, which is almost nothing beyond his involvement in the Games. Malleus Fatuorum 17:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Down to one-fifth now. Your confident predictions about further information on Dover seem misplaced, since I have just added a small piece about his possible involvement with the Gog Magog games (with two references). Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:20, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        No, you haven't. You've simply added some unsubstantiated speculation about something he may have been aware of. But what's very strange is that you haven't troubled to mention his recusant background, in particular the Catholic education that he received while in Wisbech Castle. Malleus Fatuorum 17:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I have accurately reflected what a second source (Galligan) says. The speculation, if that is indeed what it be, is Galligan's not mine. Do you have a source that refutes it? I haven't yet got round to further expanding the article, please feel free to do so with the material you describe: thank you for your even-handed bringing it forward in support of my point. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        How can ill-informed speculation be refuted? The fact that the real authorities on Dover and the Games do not mention any influence on him from the Gog Magog Games ought to speak for itself. Malleus Fatuorum 17:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        The suspicion that "the real authorities" are the ones that support your point is no doubt unworthy. The point I'm trying to make is that within a day or so of serious attention, two lots of material -- the Gog Magog Olimpicks and the Catholic education at Wisbech -- have surfaced. This comprehensively refutes the argument made by the nominator that There isn't anything else remotely notable about him that isn't already mentioned in that article, and there never will be. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I see, the accusations of dishonesty on my part have now started. The Games article uses the undisputed experts in the field, including Francis Burns, secretary of the Robert Dover's Games Society. None of them support your claim, and neither is it what the source you have used says; you have embellished what it actually says to suit your own ends. His Catholic upbringing is significant to Dover's story for a reason connected with the naming of the Games as the Olimpicks, as the Games article explains, nothing more. How are you going to explain that in this forever-destined-to-be-a-stub? Malleus Fatuorum 18:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I unreservedly withdraw any imputation of dishonesty, and apologise for any offense. Please be so kind as to do the same with your use of the word "embellish". Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(←)However, I don't accept your reasoning on the Catholic upbringing. Firstly, this is potential material that was not in the article at a time when the nominator stated that there could never be anything new. Secondly, to maintain that it's significant only because of its connection to the games is petitio principii. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whether you accept my reasoning or not is immaterial to me, as I am simply reflecting what is said by the reliable sources you so studiously ignore in favour of school text books that you choose to misinterpret, and, yes, embellish. Malleus Fatuorum 19:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I reject those allegations, and note that you do not (cannot?) refute my points. Clearly this part of the discussion has degenerated into personal recrimination. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 19:23, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please lok at the article's talk page, where I have demonstrated your logic error. Malleus Fatuorum 19:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    - And why would that make it unreliable? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - So you've never known a school text book to over simplify because of its audience or just get things wrong because, well, it is just a school textbook? Where do you think school textbooks get their information from? They're not usually at the forefront of what Wikipedia would term original research. The original, higher-quality source needs to be found and used instead. Nev1 (talk) 17:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        The text book doesn't appear to support the claims inserted by Kenilworth - see [20]. Also, it does indeed simplify the subject, as the other sources I've read are ambiguous about the year in which the games started, where as this is certain. Parrot of Doom 17:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I think it does. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        So are you going to find the original source, or are you going to insist on using second-rate ones instead? Nev1 (talk) 18:08, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Secondary != second-rate. Where did I insist on using this source? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:56, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Of course secondary sources aren't second rate, but if you bother reading what I said it's clear I didn't say that. I said a school textbook is inadequate. You added it, so take some responsibility. It's already been demonstrated that the source over simplifies things. If you don't remove it, I will as it's clearly not good enough. Nev1 (talk) 19:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Simplifies != over-simplifies. Where was the latter demonstrated? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 19:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        One example was given above; the date of the first Games is unknown. Here's another: it's also not certain in what year Dover went to Cambridge University. Malleus Fatuorum 19:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        
        If you think the two books used support the claims you've entered into this article, then why not join in the discussion on the talk page? It seems to me as though you're searching Google Books for any hint of this subject, and using the results to support your own research. Its easy to prove me wrong. Parrot of Doom 18:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm not refusing to, I'm just trying to do several things at once here! Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Williams reference also contains material on Dover's reputation as a wit and poet, not remotely connected with the games. A second refutation of the nominator's argument, after MF's suggestion of his recusant education. (And a third by my reading of Galligan). Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 19:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yet another reference with further information, not connected with the games: this time family data. That article on the Cotswold Olimpick Games is going to look a little top-heavy if this is all copied across. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:21, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Good luck to you if you think you can turn this stub into a well-referenced article about an individual known only for his instigation of the Cotswold Games. Malleus Fatuorum 21:24, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks! Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Dover has a fairly long biography in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. If he is notable enough for a biography in the definitive dictionary of British biography, first compiled over 200 years after his death, how on earth is he not notable enough for an article on Wikipedia, which contains articles on any number of minor contemporary celebrities who will have been forgotten about in a fraction of that time? -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- ...and why is he notable? You should read his entry in the ODNB, most of it relates to the games. Parrot of Doom 15:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I have done. My comment stands. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) It's not a simple question of notability, it's a matter of how would the subject best be served on Wikipedia. If, theoretically, all the information on Dover was incorporated into the article on the Cotswold Games as part for the background to the subject, exactly what would be the point of having a separate article for Dover? The ODNB entry says as much about the games as it does about Dover himself; more in fact. Nev1 (talk) 15:57, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Our article as it stands is informative, well-referenced and says plenty about Dover himself. His notability is established by his contribution in founding the Games and the fact that he is the subject of a biography in the DNB and mentions in plenty of other sources. I really don't think those wanting to delete the article have a leg to stand on. In which ways does he fail Wikipedia's notability guidelines? The answer, quite clearly, is none. I do not believe that Wikipedia would be best-served in the slightest by merging this information into the Cotswold Games article. There is, I know, a tendency for some (and that is some) editors to prefer long, general, multi-section articles over shorter, more specific articles. I'm afraid I don't subscribe to that view and it is not a view which is particularly mandated by any of our policies or guidelines. If a 3+ paragraph article can be written about Dover then that article is clearly worthwhile. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with that generalisation. Look at Peter Jackson for example - over 1,000 articles containing his name on the NZ Herald website. If anything being a smaller country makes it easier, not harder, to get your name in the newspaper. I also don't think there's enough content to worry about incubating.

Comment For the record, they were daily, early, elderly, friendly, lovely, likely, portly, and spindly. My first thought would have been "sly". My understanding is that this type of list was encouraged back in Wikipedia's early days, with the vision apparently being that multiple editors would add their knowledge to build a people's encyclopedia of some sort. It's a beautiful philosophy, but it's always been inconsistent with the basic concept of no original research. Wikipedia became so successful that it (wisely) opted to enforce the OR policy. Someday, Jimbo and the gang might try to recreate that original vision of a "free love" free encyclopedia. Mandsford 13:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is very frustrating to edit, they ban you for no reason, for 24 hours as a default penalty, and think they know everything (apparently, there is no WP:IDONTKNOWIT policy, or any policy at all), never leave an explanation of why you were banned, if you ask on IRC, the other admins don't know why any other admin ever banned you, if you ask on their version of village pump, they say it is a mistake, but decline to say why they banned you in the first place. If it's not British English, it tends to get deleted. If it's an obscure technical term or slang term they leave an edit summary of "tosh" delete the entry, and ban you. If you convince the admin who banned you, it is valid, another admin comes along and deletes it, and then bans you again, even though you weren't the one who restored the deleted entry.

The result was keep. As far as the specific article under discussion here is concerned, it's clear that we now have a reasonable stub and consensus to keep it. This is not to necessarily excuse the behaviour of its original creator - the only reason this article is up to vaguely encyclopedic standards now is because others have pitched in to rescue it. Creation of contentless stubs to create busywork for others is disruptive, and the next step is probably to consider action against the creator at ANI rather than against the articles at AfD. ~ mazca ^talk 14:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1996–97 Derby County F.C. season

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no content here only a listing of players. This is one of many that this user has created, although I'm only nominating this one at this time.

This creation cycle has been going on for quite a while and almost all of these articles are the same. They are literally just a roster of players with flags and positions.

These are stubs of almost no encyclopedic value (textbook WP:NOT#STATS), nor do they provide any special advantage for later contributors (over just creating the article from scratch). I would not be nominating if they were of stub class, but these are not. Shadowjams (talk) 03:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, it needs text. Shadowjams (talk) 05:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I've made a mistake it would be taking it here rather than ANI, because these kinds of mass creations with almost zero content are disruptive, the least important reason being that none of them meet the inclusion guidelines by a longshot. I have no doubt that by the time this AfD is closed the article will have some menial language added to make it pass, or maybe, hopefully, turn into something interesting. I say that not because I think AfD should be a substitute for cleanup, but as an example of why your argument for keeping isn't backed up by my experience here.

To explain that, let's use the example you gave. In that case the original article started out like this and within exactly one hour was this. A full featured article with 30 references, two tables, text, an infobox, and meaningful interesting content (I've learned something about them). Your example was created by an editor that went on to fix up the article (it started out pretty good anyway), not go on to create another dozen (or in this case more) stubs of the next season.

That doesn't even begin to compare to the article I've nominated. I realize (and obviously support) that there's leeway given here for article potential, but it is articles for deletion, not topics for deletion or something else. It's about articles as they are or as they realistically might be. If it wasn't then there'd be no problem with someone going through any red-link listing and creating an article that had as much, probably more, content than these.
My opinion is that you're assessing this topic, not the article. Because no reasonable editor could consider the current content to meet notability guidelines. Shadowjams (talk) 05:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC) (this comment refers to the version as it was one minute before my comment was made)[reply]

Unless this article gets a major cleanup, then I agree with the nominator that deletion is the only cure for this article.

Delete until the editor who created it can actually be bothered to write something rather than clogging up the Wiki with this crap. Before its recent "expansion" it didn't resemble a season article in any way whatsoever. Get some match results, transfers, anything interesting and just start again from scratch. It is slightly better since Jmorrison expanded it (although the references are very tangential and exactly one half of the prose is now POV) but I still can't see what advantage there is of having pages like this.

Delete One of many articles that this particular editor creates and then [23] walks away from. This an example of the WP:Kittens type article, where someone brings a lot of cute little items into the world, even gives them names, and then leaves for others to take care of. I have nothing against someone writing a complete article about the '96-'97 season of Derby County F.C., but the intent here seems to be to write lots of little stubs called "1996-97 _____ season". Because there's no effort invovled, it'll be easy to move on to lots of little stubs called "1997-98 ____ season". Sorry, it's not an accomplishment and nothing to be proud of.

And the user has been given a fair warning on his or her talk page that that might be the next step. I think that you've done a great job in rescuing this article after the lone edit by its creator, and if you're a Derby County F.C. fan, then it's been a pleasure rather than a chore. It's only fair that all rescuers be made aware that this is only one of about 20 similar cases so far of someone leaving something for others to rescue. Hopefully, we won't see 20 more homework assignments waiting to be finished by someone else. Mandsford 20:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts exactly. I consciously held off from nominating all of them in batch, and predicted that an AfD would send people running to meet my pretty bare requirements for a stub, but there is a larger set of articles here that's at issue. I probably could have done this at ANI, but even after that issue was resolved, the issue I'm addressing here would remain. It's not perfect I know, but it's a toss up situation.

I don't know how AfD Statistics works, but my guess is that it's because there's no space between the first "Keep" and "See", so the AfD would interpret that as a "KeepSee" vote. I've added a space so that it's counted. Frickeg (talk) 05:23, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hebridea Harland

Possible hoax. Page created by a user who has also engaged in vandalism, which I realize is attacking a straw man. But a simple Google search shows no other evidence of this person existing, much less being notable enough to get even this poorly made page. Markeer 02:17, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a hi-tech spa chain, which specializes in hair removal through waxing and laser treatments. No indication of any historical, technical, or cultural significance. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Checking the references, one can see that 3 of the 5 given sources are invalid: the Yelp and Cosmopolitan links are user-submitted blog posts, and the CompletelyBare website is obviously self-referential. That leaves the Vogue and Allure links: would these not qualify under the given rules of WP:COMPANY? They are "independent, verifiable coverage in secondary sources"... but does that mask the plain fact that they themselves are puffery? This kind of logrolling is used over and over to justify keeping articles which are blatant WP:PROMO, while far worthier articles are condemned to deletion because they lack such "citations". I don't want to vote Keep here, but I'm not clear how to refute those two links. Should someone do so, I would be grateful and pleased, but the reason I post this comment now is to ask for the community's help in researching the larger issue of "sourcing". Reading through the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard archives, I see several instances of Allure, Vogue and even Teen Vogue being discussed as though they were authoritative. Are they? It is difficult to judge purely from reading Wikipedia:Reliable sources: it says "Mainstream news sources, especially those at the high-quality end of the market, are considered to be generally reliable". To my eye, magazines such as these contain a huge amount of unjournalistic writing, and their "coverage" frequently cannot qualify as "source material" even in a subject such as bodywaxing businesses. Can some nice editor give a wikilink to where this issue has been explained/discussed in depth? Thanks in advance! SteveStrummer (talk) 18:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:CORP the standard for significance is fairly high. "When evaluating the notability of organizations, please consider whether it has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." (When I say "historical, technical, or cultural significance" for short, this is what I mean.) Personally, I think that it ought to be made explicit that this kind of significance is in fact mandatory, at least when commercial businesses are subjects. At any rate, I'm not sure that the sourceable facts about this business amount to "long term historical notability", which according to Jimmy Wales is the actual test. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but my question isn't about notability, it's about the validity of many types of citations. If someone were to successfully persuade the community that bodywaxing holds demonstrable effects on culture, society, etc., I would still like to know if (and why) "high quality" "mainstream news sources" like Vogue or Allure and others would be considered citational. I would be deeply grateful if you or someone else could guide me to a place where responsible editors have attempted to examine this question. This AfD manifests the question nicely, but I don't want to eat up too much space on the page so I won't add any more. But I'll be reading! Thanks to any who may respond with information.

Delete - wax, wash, repeat. Article fails WP:N. Eddie.willers (talk) 15:34, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - To be sure, the current wording of the article needs a through going over as it veers more towards advertisement. And rather than taking a stance of "it must be non-notable" and looking for a way to refute coverage in reliable sources, one should actually review the amount and type of coverage and use that as a guide to come to a conclusion. The [Vogue article] is a substantial writeup. The [Cosmo article] is less substantial. But additional research outside of what the article provides shows that they are covered in the [New York Times] as well. The story has even made it to South Africa. Also covered here. -- Whpq (talk) 18:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. The article in Vogue apparently shows that this establishment invented a kind of bikini wax that is less uncomfortable than others. The other stories are similar. That just might be one for the history books, though the current article itself is rather vague on what is apparently the achievement they're actually known for. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article, chock full of Advertising language, and any searches on Google are linked to publications of the company that makes it. Sadads (talk) 19:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure we're talking about the same article? Amiga custom chips is about the special hardware that was used in the Amiga line computers from 1985-1994. What advertising language are you talking about? And what's Google got to do with it? And what publications are you referring to? Commodore's? Commodore Business Machines is extinct since '94. The label still exists but it's got nothing to do with Amiga or the scope of the article. *verypuzzled* Zac67 (talk) 20:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit I'm as puzzled as Zac when it comes to the supposed advertising tinge of this article. It's about components of old Amiga computers, not upgrades or the like, these chips form parts of the computers themselves. If anyone's offering them for sale then presumably it's enthusiasts who've broken up old machines. Not that I'm supporting deletion or retention of the article, just pointing out that advertising isn't in play here. Someone another 20:58, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  - "No way to verify plain text", my eye! That's a very poor show of trying to check a citation. A citation isn't a hyperlink; and a citation that gives the name and issue date of a periodical magazine is a fairly concrete citation that tells you, the reader, what to go and ask for from the back issues archive. Indeed, it doesn't take much working out to infer that a citation in a biography of a Who's Who (in this case Who's Who in American Art) will be the biography of that person in that Who's Who. We're supposed to look and read and engage our thinking matter, not act helpless in the face of something that we cannot just click upon and be spoon-fed. Uncle G (talk) 18:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Enough with the attacks. This is an AFD. Deal with it. I mean, have you even tried googling this guy? The best I get is a single credit for a theater company. One of the references says TV Guide January 1995. What does that even mean? Was there a feature about him? Did he design the cover? Seriously, if some notability existed, it would probably be in the article. I've tried a number of google searches to get anything at all, but it doesn't seem to exist. — Timneu22 · talk 18:16, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - There's no attack there. But there is a conclusion that you made a very poor show of trying to check a citation, claiming, as you did, that you couldn't check it because it didn't spoon-feed a hyperlink to you. Have you looked at the Who's Who? It certainly seems that you have made zero effort to do so, given that your immediate response to the above was rather to nominate the Who's Who in American Art article for deletion. You don't appear to be making any attempt to look at the sources cited, or even into working out what is cited. It's fairly clear what TV Guide is. Will your response now be to nominate the TV Guide article for deletion, as well? Uncle G (talk) 02:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I have now searched for several hours trying to find claims of notability, and they don't seem to exist. Can anyone just throw unreferenceable references on a page, and then we are to believe it? I don't. I've tried to find TV Guide archives to see what that ref means. I've tried to determine how the "Palm Springs Life" reference means anything. I just cannot. Again, are these articles about the author? It's a bunch of hocus pocus; if there were valid links or sources about this topic, surely they would be provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timneu22 (talk • contribs) 2010-07-02 11:26:18
- I don't think it's a hoax. I haven't been able to find much but there are bits and pieces like this and this, which at least show that some of the claims are true. Trouble is, they don't really show evidence of notability (performances in amateur dramatic productions that is). I can't find him in the Who's Who, but gbooks doesn't have the recent years of it even on snippet view, so he could well have an entry. At the moment it is very difficult to decide because there is nothing to say what is in the purported references, and whether they are significant coverage. Quantpole (talk) 15:09, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, the establishment of notability is quite a challenge on this one. — Timneu22 · talk 15:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Come now! You claim to be spending "hours" Googling, but it doesn't take much aptitude with Google Web, or even more than a minute or so using it, to turn up the fact that Palm Springs Life is, as I already said, a periodical magazine. One just puts the name in, and there it is, right at the very top of the results list when I did it. It even has back issues available. This is a very poor show indeed; as is your bad faith assumption that just because Bellagioarts (talk · contribs) isn't proficient at wikitext markup and using citation templates, the citations that xe supplied when you asked must therefore be bogus with no need to make an effort to work out what they are citing. It's not actually hard to work out what Who's Who in American Art, TV Guide, and Palm Springs Life are. Nor is it hard to work out, contrary to the claims that there is "no way to verify plain text" and that you "just cannot" work out the meaning, what "Palm Springs Life February 2007" could possibly mean, given the clear existence of a monthly magazine named Palm Springs Life that's a doddle to discover with the tool that you say you are using. Uncle G (talk) 02:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - You've got to be kidding me. Wow, "Palm Springs Life" got you google results? No kidding. Now try finding "James C. Mulligan" in Palm Springs Life. The same with "TV Guide." <sarcasm>For the record, I didn't google just "TV Guide". My guess is that it is a notable publication.</sarcasm> That being said, I can't find anything that really links James C. Mulligan to TV Guide. — Timneu22 · talk 13:45, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Further, are we to trust any article that just throws the text "TV Guide, some random date" as a reference? It seems like this is kryptonite to all things WP:A7! Congrats on finding the loophole! Now anyone can have their own Wikipedia entry! Also, note the reply below that TV Guide is weekly, so having a "monthly" citation for it is absurd. — Timneu22 · talk 13:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. "TV Guide January 2005" is an insufficient citation because TV Guide is a weekly publication. Whoever has access to the source in question needs to narrow down which of the four or five issues published that month is being referred to (and it would be helpful to identify the specific article and page, too). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:46, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This has been tagged as unreferenced and of questionable notability for a year now. The band is apparently unsigned and seems mostly to live on YouTube. Only one of their albums seems to be a physical release and even that might be self-published. It does not seem to have any chart positions against it in Allmusic.There are claims of Billboard chart positions for one of the singles. I tried to verify that but only found them listed on an airplay chart. There are awards listed but no references are provided for verification and it is unclear whether they are significant enough to confer notability anyway.

Administrative regions of Kanpur

PROD contested by my favorite wikistalker. Non-notable, unreferenced list, and a content fork of Kanpur district. Any noteworthy information that could possibly be included in this article can easily be included in Kanpur district#Cities and Towns. This article is unnecessary and adds nothing to the project that doesn't already exist elsewhere. SnottyWong ^confabulate 21:46, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone please explain the distinctions of Administrative regions of Kanpur, Kanpur Metropolitan Region, Kanpur district and Kanpur division? Indian local government isn't my forte. Clearly the structure of a major city like Kanpur has some significance (despite Snotty's claim that it fails WP:CSD A7), but it's not obvious to the outsider if there's any overlap between these articles (that could be grounds for pruning, but which one(s)?).

It has already been claimed that this is a content fork, but the edit histories don't give any evidence for this (Kanpur district hasn't been edited in weeks, nor by the creator of this article) Andy Dingley (talk) 22:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Content forks aren't dependent on edit histories, nor do they have to be created in a proximate time in order to be considered content forks. A content fork means that there is more than one article that covers the same subject. Anyway, There are clearly a couple of users who are simultaneously Kanpur fanatics and also very fond of lists. There is tons of redundancy between these Indian geography articles (far more than just the ones mentioned above), and they need to be condensed. Since this article is barely started and Kanpur district is far more established, this article needs to go. I'm not sure about the division article and metro region article, but we can save those for another AfD. SnottyWong ^confer 22:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

India is a huge country and thus has many cascading government subdivisions, but we don't appear to have any other articles starting with "Administrative regions of" that refer to an Indian government level. De-prodding this was worthwhile because these articles are not all well organized, so its good to develop some precedents like that suggested by Sodabottle.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 19:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. New sources have been added to the article in the course of the AfD. Clear consensus after relisting is that the sources are enough. (non-admin closure) Mkativerata (talk) 18:55, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Governor (singer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

unsignificant singer, has not released anything of significance yet, fails WP:N, WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. I cannot find any reliable third party source for his signing to G-Unit. Article should be deleted aand not be recreated until he turns out to be more important. DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 21:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Plenty of coverage exists; I'm not sure how it was missed. I've added a sampling just now. The subject easily meets WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The coverage now in the article demonstrates notability.--Michig (talk) 05:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep Article is informative and doesn't flack, and that's really all that should be asked of music-related articles. Carrite (talk) 00:31, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Some inline citations would be nice, but the sources listed will do. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:51, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings in Kanpur

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unnecessary content fork of List of tallest buildings in India. Any notably tall buildings can be moved to that article. The rest of the buildings in this list are unambiguously non-notable. The inclusion criteria is defined as any structure in Kanpur that stands at least 18 m (59 ft) tall. Come on, my house is taller than that. SnottyWong ^confabulate 22:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are quite a number of List of tallest buildings in [NameOfCity] lists. WP editors seem to have a fascination for lists. Creating the tallest building by city lists seems to be pushing the boundaries as to what we should include in WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 01:10, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or merge into List of tallest buildings in Asia - The tallest building list does not need forks for every city! ~~If you need to fork it out fork it out to continent to start,~~ Continent looks like a fine target or maybe region. Doing it by country, or even city is insane list cruft. Next up, List of foods that are green. Shadowjams (talk) 03:33, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
..followed by a List of plants that are green! -- Alan Liefting (talk)
I'd probably redirect that to Plants :P. Shadowjams (talk) 05:59, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I might even be ok with list of tallest buildings for countries, and some of the city ones are well developed, but the tallest building on this list is 55 metres (180 ft)! List of tallest buildings in Omaha, Nebraska gets up to 193 meters. Shadowjams (talk) 03:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there is any WP guideline on this. Personally, I am ok with lists of tall buildings for countries but for cities is going too far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alan Liefting (talk • contribs) 05:47, July 8, 2010 UTC
