~~Weak keep Weak delete~~ Keep - played (one game, on loan) for BK Häcken (in 2011) in the Allsvenskan (First Division) which is in the list of fully professional leagues so by the letter of WP:NFOOTY, the subject passes. But every other appearance has been for Kärra KIF which is in the (non-professional) Fourth Division or the Swedish Under-17s or Under-19s. So if people want to cite WP:NFOOTY and the consensus is that one game while on loan isn't enough, I certainly won't object. Stalwart111 (talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion - I suggest that we merge him in with Kärra KIF and add him as a notable player with a comment that he played on loan for BK Häcken. Although, the notability of Karra KIF might be in question too.ReformedArsenal (talk) 12:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 16:43, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yes he technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL due to 31 minutes of professional play over a year ago - but WP:GNG is more important, and he does not meet that, with no indication he ever will. I also disagree with merging him into his current team - there is another non-notable player by the same name and the merge might cause some confusion. Giant Snowman 16:47, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that other player by the same name looks to have played for Lindome GIF for two seasons (2008 and 2009 - scoring a goal in each season) while they were in the first division. So it's arguable that 'your' Robin Eriksson would meet WP:NFOOTY to a greater extent than the Robin Eriksson in question. Bizarre! Your argument about GNG is, nonetheless, convincing and I have changed my opinion above. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 23:48, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - article has been improved massively, enough to satisfy GNG. Giant Snowman 11:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, changed again. Ha ha. Stalwart111 (talk) 21:27, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've found enough independent non-trivial coverage of Mr Eriksson to incorporate into the beginnings of an article, certainly enough to indicate the likelihood of the subject meeting WP:GNG, even if the article itself doesn't, yet. As he does pass WP:NFOOTBALL, I'd presume that's enough to justify a keep. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:33, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL and certainly passes WP:GNG, job's a good 'un ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Impressive work Struway2. Passes both WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. --Mentoz86 (talk) 18:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Mentoz86. The article has been improved enough and notability validated. Thanks for your hard work.

Delete and merge as above. Could not find any coverage in independent, reliable sources outside a couple of trivial mentions that do little more than confirm its existence. Fails WP:GNG on lack of significant coverage. --Batard0 (talk) 17:03, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable MMA fighter. He has one fight for a top tier MMA organization (a loss) and fails to meet WP:MMANOT.

Helena Ekblom

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

Does not meet Notability requirements. ReformedArsenal (talk) 23:03, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reason to why the article is contested? The relevance is I think described in the article. She was one of the most well known religious figures of her category in contemporary Sweden, and she still is so in Swedish history. If the references are questioned, then the article should not be deleted, but rather have its references approved, just as articles are always improved continuously in Wikipedia. Foreign language sources are allowed in Wikipedia. Ekblom is quite notable in Swedish history. She is as mentioned the perhaps most notable of all female preachers in her category in Swedish history. Of course the article can be developed, though, as can all articles. She is well referenced on Swedish wikipedia. This article should be improved, not deleted. --Aciram (talk) 23:48, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was not able to find any published secondary sources that qualified for notability per Wikipedia:Notability (People)ReformedArsenal (talk) 00:22, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, at least the first and the second sources in the article are reliable and independent, though for the first one it would be good to have the publishing information (publisher, year, page etc).--Ymblanter (talk) 07:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The subject is notable, as I mention before and any one with knowledge of the subject can verify. True, it needs to be developed, but so do many articles in Wikipedia, and the action is more to devolope them than to delete them: the work on wikipedia is built on continuing work on the articles. When it comes to a historical subject from another country, it may be more difficult to find information on the net, but as you can see on the Swedish Wikipedia, there are sources to ad. --Aciram (talk) 13:32, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I may ad, that Helena Ekblom is mentioned in dictionaries about church history in Sweden. This can be seen on Swedish wikipedia, were one of the references is "Kyrkohistoriskt Personlexikon" (Dictionary about People within Church History). --Aciram (talk) 13:38, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just add the publication information for the sources. If you have access to the sources, it would be good to add online citations to the article, but it is notable anyway.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:45, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added an English-language source from Cross Currents which is an excellent 7 page scholarly overview of her life and why she is important. Unfortunately it's $ but if anyone wants a copy I can provide it in private, for verification purposes. The rest of the sources seem to be in Swedish making it more difficult but clearly a notable historical figure. She basically was a social dissident who used religion as a tool to question the entrenched powerful and wealthy. She was persecuted for it and placed into an asylum. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 20:47, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is the most thoroughly researched article of someone not notable that I have ever seen! Nevertheless, the person is clearly nn. Lots of local, self-placed handouts, pr, etc. Too many jobs for which he is "notable" is a giveaway. Specialization is routine for truly notable people. Does he make swimming pools? Musician? Radio personality? These each can be done with some notability by someone, but not really all three at the same time. Just a normal, everyday self-promoter. Student7 (talk) 20:40, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment i believe this article is a keep. This article was approved by multiple editors. the article clearly has gain national attention. the article person is a virtuoso in two different paragraphs. the article person is in on it? i do not understand the statement. the simple explanation is rome was not built overnight as the wiki TOC suggested for article creations. This article went through AFC, got picked over 45 days, reviewed and thoughts placed on how to make it a better article by multiple editors in chats and asking opinions and sorting it out to make it a quality article. the deleting suggester appears to be searching to find a reason to slight a good article. other good articles that are worthiness such as this one do exist. the PR is not self placed, it's from precision records,, the claims of someone doing multiple notable things is not likely in my opinion a little bit different. can't good potential other editors exist and contribute? the point that multiple entertainer or craftsman don't exist how about such as ryan seacrest? carson daily, adam corolla, bubba the love sponge, even politicians who have careers before being a politician. entertainers often do multiple things, many notable people do many skilled things thats why they are notable. as well this article has a clear timeline. notable people do notable things and doing more than one things should not be a reason to judge against an article creation. the local claim is unfounded, national publications such as aqua magazine and pool and spa news are not local, touring in a band is not local. a radio show is multiple cities is not local. lets be fair and lets keep the article and let it be built upon by other editors. i re-read the reasons for deletion under the deletion policy, this article merits a stay not deletion. the comments by the editor who suggested deletion are reasons i believe is a little bit tough and unfounded. WinsnerB1942 (talk) 21:02, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Pending further review of the sources, which should decide this pretty effectively, I'll note at this point that the article definitely needs a cleanup to remove all hints of bias, non-neutral POV, and promotional tone. I personally wouldn't have cleared this through AFC in its current state for those reasons, having not looked at the sourcing yet. I'll also suggest to the article's author, WinsnerB1942, that you try to not take the nomination personally or as an "attack," as I'm sure it's not intended as such. That your article passed muster at AFC is a good sign, but I suggest instead of quibbling about "elitist wiki editor" type stuff, you simply supply a Keep vote and a clearly expressed rationale. Pick out what you feel are the best 2-3 sources in the article that help make it notable. That's all you need to and ought to do. I will look at this later (assuming/hoping I remember to when I get back home). Cheers, ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 21:44, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CommentDuly noted on the comments. the article has been picked apart from various editors and suggestions causing multiple changes. the reference sources had been less but other editors wanted more and approved them, so they are in. other editors wanted them. i am hopeful to see some Inclusionist, retention of "harmless" articles and articles otherwise deemed substandard to allow for future improvement. Inclusionist viewpoints are commonly motivated by a desire to keep Wikipedia broad in coverage with a much lower entry barrier for topics covered – along with the belief in that it is impossible to tell what knowledge might be "useful" or productive, that content often starts poor and is improved if time is allowed, that there is effectively no incremental cost of coverage, that arbitrary lines in the sand are unhelpful and may prove divisive, and that goodwill requires avoiding arbitrary deletion of others' work which i feel in this case. Some extend this to include allowing a wider range of sources. i firmly believe this article will improve over time and grow.WinsnerB1942 (talk) 22:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: WinsnerB1942 came to #wikipedia-en-help ^connect looking for an inclusionist for a keep vote and clearly stated that. This concerns me as a potential canvassing issue. --LauraHale (talk) 23:17, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Further commenting: I do not believe this was intended to violate the rules, but rather a new user not understanding fully how Wikipedia works. --LauraHale (talk) 00:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: While I am generally an inclusionist, I did not find any references searching through news.google.com, through Newsbank, through Trove, in Google Books, on World Cat. While the sources are in the article, I'm not sure " Pool & Spa News" should be used as a website used for notability purposes. The article doesn't make clear how the subject is notable. How popular was his radio show and what were the ratings? Why is a C-Level manager notable? --LauraHale (talk) 23:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is gutted, leaving only source that confer notability along with facts from those, I would be happy to re-evaluate my position. --LauraHale (talk) 00:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick question: is there a policy or guideline you can point to that supports discounting independent sources with a very narrow scope (e.g. Pool & Spa News)?

Comment: after speaking to the previous user in a chat, she made statements that she'd only accept sources found in newspapers through her way of searching for sources. she also suggested the only she'd change her mind was article must be gutted to her liking not necessary wiki guidelines. i made a solid effort to appease the editor to resolve and the editor did open slightly to be somewhat favorable, i bent pretty far as pretzel could go without breaking to appease. i'm hopeful the editor and others will be a little more willing to include this article, i read the living person afd list and the keeps afterwards and it does not appear very favorable for anyone to create an article of a living person, might explain the frustration with users comments over the web in regards to wiki deletions. i believe the grounds for deletion are not with merit while the grounds for creation are, i did revise the article for laurahale to her request from our chat WinsnerB1942 (talk) 05:25, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete! I have to agree with the nominator here, sounds too good to be true. He prabably has a career as a swimming pool executive, he's played in various bands and been on the radio, but he is not notable for any of it as far as I can tell. According to one of the sources, he's been on the road between the mid-nineties until 2007, playing more than 2400 shows around North America. This happened at the same time as hosting a radio show, raising a family, and building his career in the swimming pool industry (which started in 1996). As far as I can tell, this has been blown out of all proportions in an attempt to gain notability he doesn't have. As for the comment made by User:WinsnerB1942 above "This article was approved by multiple editors."; nope, that didn't happen, at least not by judging the article or talkpage. The article was reviewed and rejected three times, before User:Rcsprinter123 accepted it. (I've asked him to check this AFD btw, just to see if he has any thoughts on the matter.)

I Have No Idea - This is an odd one. The content of the article reads like an obvious candidate for deletion. It's blatantly promotional in tone, and I agree with previous commenters' suggestion that jumping between all these different "cases" for notability smacks of...something like desperation, although that's probably a strong word for it. On the other hand, "Pool & Spa News" appears to be an independent source which publishes content subject to editorial review, which suggests that it passes muster as a reliable source -- and there's no question of whether or not the subject of the article is covered multiple times and at significant length in this source (and one or two others of more questionable quality). On the other other hand, I personally tend to discount sources with as narrow a topical focus as "Pool & Spa News." Regardless, I strongly suggest to the author of the article that they take LauraHale's kind suggestion and pare the article down to just those facts and details which most strongly support a case for notability and remove any hint of a promotional tone. Subjective sentences like "These simple beginnings lead the foundation of one of the industry's most prominent rises" are pure puffery. I'd avoid lines like that when writing about The Beatles, let alone Jim DeBerry, and your content is far more likely to be viewed positively if it's clean and objective :). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 13:12, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While Pool & Spa News may be independent it is a trade magazine and creates a "big fish, small pond" situation where no real sense of the importance of the subject can be drawn as nearly every individual running a similar company will receive similar coverage in it. This is why we need mainstream press (a Big pond) to identify the particular subjects that deserve to stand out. The same can be said of nearly all the sources used here, non notable magazines, radio shows, etc. These may be fine for fact checking but do not confer any notability to the subject.

Weak delete. I managed to find a single source for it, in Globes, a financial newspaper. However, one source is not enough to qualify as significant coverage, and the subject does not seem to meet the general notability criteria. I imagine that most of the secondary sources, if they are out there, aren't in English.

Keep, almost a speedy keep. I can see that the article was in pretty bad shape when the AfD was created, but I suspect the nominator didn't follow WP:BEFORE, as the article now has almost a dozen solid sources thanks to Tokyogirl79's excellent work.

Mephistophelian (contact) 14:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, I am the nominator, and I certainly did process WP:BEFORE before making the nomination. As I explained on the talk page, this is not the kind of article I would normally edit. In the thirty pages of my Google search, I found less than 7 mentions of the article's subject other than first-party webpages —hardly notable. The blatant sales pamphlet clone about a game that isn't even released yet that was initially on Wikipedia should not have been there for 5 minutes, let alone several days. The references added since my nomination are a good start, however, I have to ask (since, again, I am not a gamer and don't research these type of articles regularly), how many of the websites referenced are reliable (containing over-site, editorial review, etc.) — not just author opinions or fan sites? Or does that even matter in game articles? I leave it up to other editors out there who care about such articles to decide. I'm out... GenQuest (talk) 15:12, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are not a gamer then you should apply your beauracratic skills elsewhere. The number of results in a Google Search for a game that has just released would have obviously been low since the bot probably hadn't indexed the results. It is people like you that really piss me off. You people are unconstructive bureaucrats who think that pedantically following every rule in the book will make this place better, and are meddling in a field you have no knowledge of.

"Non-Notable and is a PR piece; including pricing and download links."

The article does not contain nay direct links to downlaod the game, only to the website itself, which is perfectly in reason It most certainly Notable as it has been on several high caliber websites Additionally there there is no mention of pricing on the page what so ever, other than one payment is necessary and no monthly fee's apply, which perfectly whithin reason as this may not otherwise be clear as it is a MMORPG and these often differ in their payment systems, so as such it would be of interest to the reader.

All of this leads me to wonder whether you read the article as all, but rather just have a personal dislike for the game itself — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deltorant (talk • contribs)

I moved this from the talk page of this AfD. That being said, nominating something for AfD does not mean that someone has anything against the game. Just that they noticed it didn't meet GNG as it was written and nominated it. Also, before I edited the article extensively, there was a price point mentioned and much of the article was taken from various press releases. As far as download links go, the nominator is probably referring to the website link at the bottom. In any case, best way to argue for an article being kept is to remain calm, source the article accordingly, and argue based on points from WP:GNG. Alluding to anyone having a personal slight against someone or something really isn't the way to go about this. We should always assume good faith when it comes to things of this nature unless someone does something so above and beyond the reasonable rationale of good faith that it's obvious. I believe that GenQuest was operating in good faith. A little hasty, but in good faith. Making swipes isn't any way to conduct ourselves.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:59, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've found multiple sources that talk about the game and some reviews of the beta runs of the game, so the game looks to be notable enough to keep. Now all that aside, arguing isn't going to get us anywhere. The original article format was awful and given the amount of gaming websites out there that are known for posting user reviews that don't count towards notability, it's easy to see how it'd be confusing to sort through things if you're not as familiar with the gaming sites. In any given AfD topic, there are a lot of sites that come up under GNews or other search engines that aren't usable as RS, so it's not always as easy as googling. I don't really see where this nomination was really all that bad, honestly. It resulted in the article getting some much needed love and proper sourcing, so this AfD had some merit because it brought it to the attention of various users that could edit. Maybe GenQuest could've asked around, but that's sort of a moot point and other than politely pointing out other options before nominating for deletion, we really have nothing to talk about other than potential ways to improve the article. But like I said, this AfD has ultimately been beneficial for the article and as such, accomplished something positive, so there's no reason for berating anyone.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:09, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I read the above. Notability is just not established. Vast majority of the sources are not classified as reliable by WP:VG/RS (on a "game news" website ≠ corroboration). I'll say this again: ~~IGN,~~ Joystiq, Destructoid, the sources are not solid. Likewise Google hits ≠ notability (especially when they overlap with the better-known World War Z). Notability is independent, reliable sourcing. VG encyclopedia articles are for games that contribute to critical discourse about VG—Wikipedia is not a directory. This AfD is about whether or not an idea is notable for an encyclopedia article. Ask yourself what it does to show its notability. I pass no personal judgment on this game and its moment quite possibly might come in the future, but right now it is not notable. czar · · 22:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You should take a look at this list, which shows that most of the sources used in the article are fine, while others are okay in some situations. Whether or not the game is released is not a criterion for notability. Many many games get coverage before they are released, just as films and other forms of media entertainment get coverage prior to being available for direct consumption. The standard for notability is whether it receives significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, which it does. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 22:34, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Sorry Czar, but you are straightforwardly mistaken in your interpretation of what the WikiProject considers to constitute a reliable source, hence whether the article satisfies the general notability criteria. Whereas you cite WP:VG/RL, the project's reference library, its actual guidelines on the reliability of online and printed media is WP:VG/RS, which explicitly includes IGN and GameSpy, both of which are News Corporation companies that incorporate the same database. Mephistophelian (contact) 23:08, 19 October 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I'm aware and meant RS, not RL. It was a slip on my part—thanks, fixed. A few (PC World, PC Gamer, IGN) are listed as valid (though the last with a caveat), but Joystiq (x3), Destructoid, and several others are not. I'm not looking to split hairs. The point is that we're really stretching for sources to prove this game a notable entity worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If you are already convinced otherwise, there's nothing more to say here. czar · · 23:55, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, Joystiq and Destructoid are also listed as potentially valid (though with caveats). The sources currently listed in the article demonstrate notability. The GNG makes no distinction between very notable and only moderately notable. -Thibbs (talk) 14:08, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Enough coverage in reliable sources. I think there's enough there with the non-debatable reliable sources, let alone the ones that are somewhat borderline. (From my experience at AFD, Joystiq is usually one of those sources that are considered "useable if that's all there is, but something to avoid or replace if/when other sources are available. Sergecross73 msg me 00:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There seems to be several various sources which support information in the article, the article is also in regards to a video game which hasn't been released, however, it is entering the alpha testing phase. I'm sure at the end of the alpha testing phase there will be more articles with more information regarding the topic. The article has been up for ten days. Five of those days have had the deletion discussion occurring. As for sources, the game publisher would be one source, IGN and PCGamer are independant, reliable sources; and The Escapist, Joystiq, and Destructoid, while not preferred source material, are able to be used.

List of family relations in American football

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

Delete This is an unreferenced list about people who have more than one person in their family connected to football. Aside from that, there is no organizing principle. This list was previously discussed at Afd a year and a half ago here. This topic has not been the subject, so far as I have been able to discern, of any secondary works. There is a reason why the article remains unsourced, it is inherent in the lack of connectivity between the pieces of information. At best one could find references that say the X is the son of Y, but nothing to relate the package of information together. As such, compiling this list is original research. Even if the list had a footnote for every individual fact, the composite would be lacking notability under the guidelines. The topic lacks notability. Notability cannot be inherited from the individual players. Lists are not exempt from article requirements. This is not a navigation list. This is essentially a trivia list, without notability. To paraphrase Wikipedia:WikiProject Laundromat, it is nonnotable, nonencyclopedic, and nonfunctional. --Bejnar (talk) 18:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Wow. Notwithstanding the previous AfD in which 5 or 6 editors expressed a split opinion, it would appear that this article has serious original research problems per WP:OR, notability issues per WP:NLIST and WP:GNG, and fundamental living person issues per WP:BLP, WP:V and WP:RS. If we are going to keep this article, someone better get busy addressing these issues. If not, my ultimate vote in this AfD will be a strong thumb's down. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Question How is this original research as a whole? For example, there's tons of coverage in the media about Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning... or the Bowden family... or Lou and Skip Holtz... or Bo and Carl Pelini... I agree that the article needs work, and there may be some OR in the article for specific links to family members, but the whole list? Maybe it should be modeled after List of association football families or maybe List of family relations in the NHL... --Paul McDonald (talk) 22:05, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Also how do you get "5 or 6 editors expressed a split opinion" in the previous AFD? I count 3 keeps, 1 delete changed to neutral (which was me), 1 editor made a comment, and 1 more suggested a "severe re-write" ... ???--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:09, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Paul, there are exactly ZERO sources for this article. That presents a serious BLP violation. As the article presently stands, anyone could delete virtually 100% of the content because there are no sources in an article about living people. That means you have to show a source for every family cluster where one of the family members is still living. Those are the basic BLP rules; no source for a statement about a living person, then it's subject to immediate deletion. There are dozens, if not hundreds of living persons included on this list. Show me the sources.
  - Notability must apply to the list topic as a whole, not individual family clusters. Individual notability, or individual family notability, does not impart notability to the group or list. Multiple independent, reliable sources must be included that discuss the topic of football families; not individual football families, but multiple football families. I assume these sources can be found, but it may take some work. In the absence of such sources, this list is not entitled to any presumption of notability under any SNG I'm aware of. It must satisfy WP:GNG: again, that means show me the sources.
  - Original research? In the absence of an independent reliable source, telling me that Skip Holtz is the son of Lou Holtz is OR. How do you know that? No Wikipedia editor's personal knowledge can serve as a "source." Show me something in writing. Again, show me the sources.
  - Bottom line: we cannot continue to accept these editor-compiled list articles when there is no sourced evidence for the subject's notability, nor can we accept any article about living persons that is completely lacking in footnoted sources. Let's stop making excuses for the editors who create these sourceless articles, and hold them to our basic project standards. Come on, Paul. You know better than this—you would never personally produce an unsourced article like this and expect it to survive AfD. It's ridiculous. If this article survives this AfD "as is," I am inclined to simply delete every unsourced statement about a living person per WP:BLP. If you or any other credible editor wants to work on it, I would be willing to give them a reasonable time to cure the BLP problems—after we have properly established the notability of the article's subject (i.e. "American football families"). Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:48, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - WP:BLP states "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) 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" -- note that it does not state that all material must be sourced. Is it a good idea to source it? Sure. Do I want to have it done? Yes. Would it make the article better? Of course. But only contentious material that is unsourced should be deleted. I don't think anyone (other than you maybe) would argue that the Manning family is not related or that the Holtz family is not related. How do I know this? I've watched ESPN once or twice in the last decade. Yes, broadcast television news shows generally count as reliable sources so we can dig that up and post it as a source. A friendly word of caution: if you blank this article now ~~during~~ after an AFD that passes keep as you seem to assert you want to do, that would probably be considered a bad faith edit and could lead to... well... bad stuff. So I hope you don't take that route. As to your other arguments, I'm going to wait for you to go back and read WP:BLP first and then tackle the rest.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Okay, Paul, I would be grateful if you would not put words in my mouth. At no point have I suggested that I would start deleting unsourced sections of this article during this AfD. Please do not suggest otherwise. It's not what I said, and I would be grateful if you would strike through your comment above that suggests otherwise.
      - Your reading of WP:BLP put the emphasis on the words "contentious material," even helpfully providing a link to the Wiktionary definition of "contentious." My reading of WP:BLP puts the emphasis on "any material challenged or likely to be challenged." Please consider the numerous family relationships asserted in this article as challenged by me. In the absence of a reliable source for most of the several hundred family relationships asserted in this article, there is no basis for you or any other participant in this discussion to assert any such family relationship. I'll spot you Lou and Skip Holtz, as well as Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. Do you have sources for the rest? If so, please add them to the article.
      - ESPN television sports news is a "reliable source?" That's news to me (if you'll pardon the pun). I have just re-read WP:RS, and it specifically mentions "reliable, published sources"; it makes no mention of any verbal sources, live or recorded, anywhere within the four corners of the policy. The word "published" generally implies something in writing. If you have authority for your proposition that television news is a reliable source per WP:RS, I would be grateful if you would provide it. If you're correct, I will have just learned something new about Wikipedia today. If you're asserting that a published written transcript of ESPN sports news might be considered a reliable source, that's an entirely different kettle of fish, and would be more consistent with my current understanding of WP:RS.

        I was wrong and mis-read what you wrote, your threat was to start deleting stuff after the AFD was cleared and not during. That could also be considered disruptive, but I'll strike and modify my comments to more accurately reflect what you did write.
        
        You are challenging everything on the article except the Holtz's and the Mannings? I guess you can, but that seems disruptive to me. Unless there's a reason, I like to assume good faith in my fellow editors. But if you insist, please feel free to discus that at the article's talk page.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:15, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Paul, the section you cited is titled "Film, TV, or video recordings." Note the word "recordings." If you have a recording of a particular episode of an ESPN news program and can cite the name of the producer, the date and time of production, you may have a source (even though the section cited does not mention TV news, only "film, TV and video recordings"). A video recording is simply the audio-visual version of a written transcript. However, you cannot rely on Paul's memory of unidentified ESPN programs which you have watched over the years; Paul's memory of various unidentified ESPN programs is not a reliable source by any stretch of the policy cited.
        
        If demanding that we source BLPs is now considered "disruptive," my friend, Wikipedia has far bigger problems than this little old list article. It's not a matter of assuming the good faith of my fellow editors; it's a matter of providing an actual reliable source to support the facts asserted. For every good-faith editor, there is at least one bad-faith vandal, and good-faith editors make mistakes and include inaccurate/untrue/false information in at l;east one of Wikipedia's four million articles every minute of every hour of every day. It's not a matter of good faith per WP:AGF; it's a matter of verifiable accuracy of content per WP:V. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        "Film, TV, or video recordings" is different from "Film recordings, TV recordings, or video recordings" Broadcast journalism has long been considered reliable sources (although present-day political activists would definitely argue that).
        
        Demanding reliable sources is not disruptive. Unnecessarily demanding sources upon threat of deletion of content could be though. You're really going out on a limb here to claim that the whole page was a bad-faith compilation of incorrect data. That seems to be your assertion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:31, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Paul, cut the bullshit. Please. As the article existed at the inception of this AfD, it included precisely ZERO references of any kind. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. By my rough count, the article, as it existed at the start of the AfD, included over 250 individual persons, over 60 percent of whom are still living. The article made various assertions of family relationships among American football players (fathers, sons, brothers, twins, uncles, nephews, cousins, etc.), but without a single source to substantiate any of those relationships. BLPs created after March 18, 2010 are now subject to deletion by the new BLPPROD procedure applicable to sourceless BLP articles. No sources in a BLP? It can no be prodded and deleted after 10 days (if it was created after March 18, 2010). Other sourceless BLPs are subject deletion by AfD; WP:BLP expressly states that sourceless BLP articles that are not subject to BLPROD are subject to AfD. My personal take on that is a list that includes multiple BLPs requires at least one source for every living person included.
        
        Contrary to your assertion, I have not assumed that the entire article is a "bad-faith compilation of incorrect data." Again, please quit putting words in my mouth and please stop mischaracterizing my arguments. At some point it feels like a political campaign. Frankly, I don't need to assume anything; undeniably this list was an unverified compilation of data unsupported by reliable sources. This list, as it existed at the start of this AfD, included 150+ BLPs for which there was not a single source for any one of them or the article as a whole. New BLPs without sources are now subject to being prodded and deleted; and sourceless BLPs that were created before March 18, 2010 are subject to AfD scrutiny. This is not a matter of assuming the good faith or bad faith of my fellow editors; it is a matter of producing reliable sources for BLP articles. And, Paul, you need to get used to it. Every time Wikipedia has another BLP controversy, the BLP rules are going to get tightened. Wikipedia is not going to retreat to the days of accepting unverified and sourceless BLPs. In case you missed my point (or chose to ignore it again), the "good faith" of the editors who create a BLP article is irrelevant in this context.
        
        As for broadcast news shows being reliable sources, that remains unclear under WP:RS, because WP:RS makes absolutely no mention of broadcast news, TV episodes, films, or other A/V recordings. Not one. You have cited a section for the proper citation format for such recordings. The existence of a proper citation format for films, TV episodes, and video recordings does not necessarily imply that they are treated as reliable sources under WP:RS. Furthermore, the point is moot in the present context. Neither you nor anyone else has produced an ESPN news broadcast episode, or any similar TV source, that would satisfy the citation format you referred to. Until someone does, we are arguing about an interesting hypothetical with no direct bearing on the present AfD. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:25, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

        No, Paul, my intent is not to badger you out of the discussion. You're a big boy, and I know that you can deal with a robust discussion of policy. I can and will object when I believe my own arguments are being misconstrued. That having been said, I respect your article work, we have worked well together on other WP:CFB concerns, and I can say with complete sincerity that I only want your honest, but informed opinion in these discussions. None of us are, or realistically can be, experts on every element of the applicable Wikipedia policy and guidelines.

I apologize if I "badgered" you, and I respectfully ask that you rejoin the discussion. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:15, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per comments of editor Cbl62 in the last AFD on this, which I quote: "The article needs sourcing and could use some clearer criteria, but such familial lists strike me as being notable, verifiable, and encyclopedic. There are similar lists for many other sports. See List of family relations in the NHL, List of rugby league families, List of association football families of note, List of second-generation Major League Baseball players, List of boxing families, List of family relations in professional wrestling, List of professional sports families, and even List of chess families. Rather than deleting these lists, some thought should be given to determining how to improve them, perhaps taking the best elements from each to develop a good template for a sport-by-sport family lists. Or perhaps limiting the lists to siblings and direct lineage (children, parents, grandparents) or participants in the sport at the highest level. For example, here's a well-sourced list of 187 sets of fathers and sons who played in the NFL. And here's another well-sourced list of 335 sets of brothers who played in the NFL"..... and..."As for the notability of the topic, I recall seeing many articles over the years discussing the prevalence of family relations at the top levels of athletics. While I don't have time right now to search for them, here's one such article from The New York Times: Dad-Son Duos Run Up the Score. See also Greatest father-son combos from ESPN.com." (quoted from Cbl62's comment in last AFD about this article). --doncram 22:27, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Doncram, notability is only one problem of several. This list is one giant BLP violation. In the absence of footnoted sources, every statement about a living person is subject to deletion. It's been 20 months since the last AfD. When are we going to enforce our core Wikipedia policies? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:48, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Dirtlawyer1, I will assume you are correct that there are sourcing problems. This is not appropriate for AFD. I suggest you could proceed by giving notice at the Talk page that you believe there are sourcing problems, and that you could proceed to remove items from the page. I suggest you copy those items to the Talk page for further discussion, so that the information is not lost from view by editors, who may well come up with adequate sourcing for removed items. This AFD forum is not appropriate for your complaints. You don't get to punish transgressions by having the topic deleted. It has already been decided by consensus that the topic is notable / valid for an article. You seem to have valid concerns, but AFD is not the way to go. By the way, I am cooperating somewhat with a parallel effort by editor Mootros, who disputes the sourcing/inclusion of many items within another list article, where I appreciate he is merely removing the items, after long notice, to the Talk page. Cheers, --doncram 23:28, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep going, Tagishsimon, and add at least one source/reference for every living person in the list. Then there will probably be very little to argue about. (Sorry about being facetious. But you get the point. Adding one source that does not include every living person on the list does not solve this article's sourcing problems.) Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:46, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I do get the point, yes. But a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, as someone once said. IN the same way, I take it that you get the point: AfD is not for articles which are notable but within which there is nothing but unreferenced stuff. Although that said, AfD is a great way of bringing such problems to a head, and so though I think this should not ave been brought to AfD, I very much support you having brought it to AfD since that action looks as if it is leading to a solution. --Tagishsimon (talk) 10:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Tahishsimon, a couple of clarifications are required . . .
    - First, I did not initiate this AfD. Editor Bejnar filed this AfD. I did not know the article existed until it popped on the American football-related list of AfD articles. I have simply commented on the obvious issues.
    - Second, there was a previous AfD 20 month ago in which a total of three editors affirmatively voted to "keep," and the nominator was an implied "delete." Several other editors expressed various concerns. As I'm sure you know, consensus can change, and 20 months is a long time in Wikipedia. We are not bound by the previous AfD; this AfD will determine present consensus.
    - Third, this article has had a multiplicity of unresolved notability, original research, BLP, reliable source and verifiability issues since its creation, and AfD is an entirely appropriate forum to address them, including the BLP concerns. In fact, under the new WP:BLPPROD policy, any BLP article created after March 18, 2010 may be prodded if it completely lacks sources and deleted after 10 days. Any article that can be prodded may also be more fully discussed at AfD. While this article was created in 2008, the new BLPPROD policy would seem to imply that BLP issues may be appropriately raised at AfD, too. Furthermore, WP:AfD expressly states that notability, original research and verifiability are valid grounds for deletion. This is not my tilting at windmills to make a point. Bejnar was perfectly correct in bringing this second AfD when the article's notability is in doubt and these other problems have not been addressed. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 11:35, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't care - I do have two major problems with it. The first is that it is incredibly unreadable. For example, with the entry on the Garretts, you really have to hunt to find the second name in the list because there are so many teams. A table might work better, but as it is, it's just a sprawling assortment of data. My second major problem is the lack of citations. I'm sure that many or even most of the relationships are cited in the articles about the people themselves, but there are some redlinked people who are just plain non-notable. I would bet that just about every NFL player has a relative somewhere along the line who played football ... so this is potentially a very big list. --B (talk) 04:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Call for close AFD is decided, pretty much all parties agree the topic was and is valid; this should be closed. IMO, assertions that the AFD was "justified" are simply wrong; AFD is not the forum for complaining about individual BLP concerns within an article. Obviously the topic is valid and appropriately sourced material is available for the article. It's a waste of time for more people to consider this. Someone please close this. --do ncr am 18:12, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Reject call for early close. Sorry, Doncram, but I disagree, and my disagreement is based on the applicable AfD policies and guidelines. This AfD was opened only two days ago on October 17, 2012. Currently, there are a total of three "keep" !votes, and one "delete" !vote—not exactly an overwhelming majority after 48 hours of discussion. Numerous problems regarding notability, original research, verifiability, reliable sources, and, yes, the application of the sourcing rules to BLP articles, have been raised and remain to be addressed in the article (which is now in the process of being rewritten). Contrary to various mistaken assertions in the comments above, let's review the applicable guidelines and policies regarding early closure.

Per Wikipedia:Deletion process, "In general, deletion discussions should remain open for at least seven days to allow interested editors ample time to participate. However, under certain circumstances, discussions may be closed prior to the seven-day timeframe. Closers should apply good judgment before speedily closing a discussion, since often it is best to allow the discussion to continue for the full seven days." There is no reason to close this AfD early; discussion is still under way and the article is now being rewritten to address the several valid concerns raised in the discussion above.

It has also been asserted above that once the article subject's notability is established, AfD is not the appropriate forum to address the article's other problems raised above, and in particular, that AfD is not the appropriate forum to address BLP concerns. That is simply incorrect. Per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion, here are several deletion criteria relevant to this particular AfD (text is quoted from the linked original):

"Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)";
"Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons";
"Any other use of the article . . . that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace."

Furthermore, Wikipedia:Guide to deletion specifically mentions "original research" as a basis for AfD (again, the text is quoted from the linked original):

"All text created in the Wikipedia main namespace is subject to several important rules, including three cardinal content policies (Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research) and the copyright policy (Wikipedia:Copyrights). Together, these policies govern the admissibility of text in the main body of the encyclopedia, and only text conforming to all four policies is allowed in the main namespace.

"This guide deals with the process of addressing articles that contravene Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research, which are often listed or 'nominated' on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. . . .

"When an article is nominated for deletion, the Wikipedia community may discuss its merits for a period usually no less than seven days, in order to come to a public rough consensus about whether the article is unsuited to Wikipedia. Following seven days of discussion, an experienced Wikipedian will determine if a consensus was reached and will "close" the discussion accordingly."

Doncram, I'm sorry to be the skunk at the party, but AfD is appropriate not only for notability problems, but also those related to BLP violations, original research, and anything else "that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace." As I have attempted to impart in my comments above, I am not crusading for the deletion of this article. I am advocating that the article be fixed and these perfectly valid concerns be addressed and the article be kept, but if those concerns are not addressed, I see no reason why it should be kept.

Frankly, rather than an early close, I would recommend that the article be relisted to give Giant Snowman, who has volunteered to undertake a major rewrite and restructuring of the article, the time to do so. I have volunteered to help him do so to the extent my available time permits. It would be a gesture of collegiality and evidence of commitment to upholding the applicable Wikipedia policies if the other the "keep" !voters would also volunteer to help with that rewrite effort. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:18, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We're just repeating ourselves. I disagree, AFD is inappropriate: any BLP concerns can be resolved, have been resolved i think, by removing the vast part of the article already. The guideline ""Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons" is about biography articles. This is not a biography article, it is a list, there is NO WAY this is going to be deleted, it has already be considered in 1st nomination. It is a waste of time for AFD to be used to further a complaint campaign about the quality of a valid-article. I think it is wrong to use AFD to attempt to force something that is not appropriate for AFD. I accept however, that given your disagreement, that the 7 day AFD clock will run. I am not motivated to help develop the article by your/others attempt to force development inappropriately. Let's stop any back and forth, though; I won't respond any further. --do ncr am 22:03, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we are repeating ourselves to a large degree, Doncram. Having made your opinion known about the "appropriateness" of this AfD, I respect your desire to disengage. Having said that, however, I cannot let your misreading of WP:BLP immediately above go uncorrected. WP:BLP specifically states that it applies to all articles, not just those that are primarily biographical in nature: "This applies whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable, and whether it is in a biography or in some other article." (Please see WP:BLPSOURCES.)

Keep Notability of the topic is shown by the sources mentioning family ties, although more would be better; Notability of the people is shown by blue links & sources on their pages.

Is there any evidence of this regarding notability, and/or can a cite be added? My main concern is that this individual portrays a fictional comedy character based on "Chopper" | Chopper Read. Chopper Read is notable, but there's little to suggest this comedy character, or the person who plays the comedy character - Heath Franklin - is notable in his own right. All of the material I've seen so far plays on the notability of Chopper Read, and not Heath Franklin.

Strong Delete There's no significant coverage for Heath Franklin. The coverage which exists refers in the main to the criminal Chopper Read. There's some coverage relevant to TV programs which Heath Franklin played a contributory role in, and these already have their own wiki pages. There's no significant coverage with primary relevance to Heath Franklin as a comedian. Therefore it's fine to include Heath Franklin in these other wiki pages as a contributor, or a mention in the Chopper Read page, but there's nothing (yet) to indicate sufficient notability for a Heath Franklin wiki page. Also, IMDB isn't an RS and shouldn't be used in an AfD... 23.23.86.226 (talk) 18:32, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that article confers notability. It states: "Heath Franklin, famous for his Chopper Read character..." - Heath Franklin isn't famous or notable in his own right.

This is an essay on an apparent neologism. It is sourced entirely to a book by Mark Von Rosing and was created by User:Markvonrosing I have looked and I can't find any additional sources for this usage of the term, so I believe this fails the general notability guideline and should be deleted.

Comment I haven't checked the rest, but the Building_blocks_(enterprise_architecture)#The_generic_characteristics_of_Building_Blocks section is a very close paraphrase of 32.2.2 in The Open Group Architecture (TOGAF Framework 2007 edition). So a WP:COPYVIO at the heart of what is probably the main section that might be considered for saving into the Business Architecture article. AllyD (talk) 20:26, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oeps... There seems to be a mayor problem indeed. I did some checking myself. For example in Google books, I search for the sentence "A building block is a package of functionality defined to meet the business needs across an organization.", see here. This sentence alone gives three hits.

I also noticed that the introduction of the article, the first two sentences, are copy/pasted from the Business Architecture article. This has happened in the first version of the article, see here, without any copy/paste notification. This is also not acceptable. -- Mdd (talk) 21:30, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete On the broader point raised in the nomination, "building block" is a term used in TOGAF, in Zachman, etc. and might therefore merit recognition. However my own view is that it is simply providing an illustrative real world analogy chosen from the nursery floor, and not a specific usage in itself.

PROD was contested on the grounds that he plays in the Georgian Premier League and that he had previously played in Europa League qualifying.

Hello Nat. Sorry for my newbie attitude but I am trying to understand what you are considering as acceptable for WP:NOTABILITY. What kind of proof/reference are you expecting to consider Xvisor as worth including? --Jean-Christophe DUBOIS (talk) 20:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very fair question, and it goes to the heart of what Wikipedia is about (welcome in, by the way). The basic idea is that we can't rely on stuff that you or me can edit whenever we like, so blogs, personal websites, wikis (yes, even this one), Amazon and so on aren't generally usable. You can use published books, newspapers, and other authoritative sources, which have to be independent of the subject of the article, and are secondary reports rather than primary research. So a paper that compares different products objectively would be OK, but a newsletter published by a software house about its own products would not (except to show that a product existed, and perhaps to obtain some details about it, not to prove notability). Hope this helps a bit, and that you like it here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all. We are a new open-source community-based hypervisor so, more research papers are to follow. It is only 1 year old and no software house or corporate owns Xvisor. We had published a news article on LWN almost a year back (please see, [LWN Xvisor Announcement]). The LWN is very reliable and authentic news site for any news related to Linux kernel (For more info, LWN). The LWN thoroughly reviews any news before publishing. Can you consider LWN news as a verifiable reference of Xvisor ? --Anuppateli (talk) 04:23, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Even without qualifying LWN in general, the piece appears to be the republication of a press release, and under Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines, press releases don't count. I understand that your product is a new one and has not gotten much coverage yet, and no one here is saying "this cannot possibly ever be notable", merely that its notability is not yet established. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:27, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Czech handball

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

Basicly this has been unreferanced for two years and just seems to be a content fork about a variant of Team Handball. Some of the material (if it can be sourced) could be merded with Team handball.Slatersteven (talk) 15:41, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Czech handball is a distinct sport. This is a substantial article that if merged into team handball would either distort the emphasis there, or would lose much of the specific information. The article has not been unreferenced. It has a reference to the Czech National Handball association which has been there the whole time. That website has an extensive coverage of the history of Czech handball and its varying relationships to team handball. The lack of inline citation is an editing problem and not a deletion criteria. There are three main antecedents for handball, the Czech form, the Danish form and the German form (Konrad Koch’s Raffballspiel). All of these contributed to the emergence of the women's game Torball, which Carl Schelenz, a teacher of the Berlin Physical Education College, in 1919 converted into a men's game as well. Torball became the ultimate antecedent of modern team handball. See, e.g. "History of Handball". Handball of British Columbia.. Even if Czech handball were not still being played competitively today, it would be important to have the historical article. I do agree that the article needs improvement. --Bejnar (talk) 20:37, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Assuming good faith edits, wouldn't developing a new method for non-surgical treatment of a vertebral compression fractures be part of a recipe for notability especially when coupled with 10 patents? I don't know how to do citation scores, but with over 50 scientific papers primarily in sports medicine he must have a few hits. For starters, according to Google Scholar, not the best citator service especially for Russian language materials, his (collaborative) "Поясничные боли" ("Back Pain") has been cited 16 times and his "Руководство по кинезитерапии дорсопатий и грыж позвоночника" "Guide to kinesitherapy dorsopathy and spinal herniation" has been cited six times. I found citations to his works not just by Russian authors, but also Romanian; there are probably others. Note, when looking for sources, that his Russian surname is often transliterated into Roman characters as "Bubnovsky" with a single "y". See, for example, "Spotlight: Taking pills: cause or cure?". TV-Novosti. 4 July 2008.. As a practicing doctor he should not just be compared to other academics, but may qualify under the general notability guidelines as well. He does have coverage both in English text and in Russian. The only question remaining on notability is significance. --Bejnar (talk) 21:28, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those citation counts are way below our requirements for a pass of WP:PROF criterion 1. Many hundreds of citations are usually required. And patents are meaningless unless independent reliable sources have written about them. Many people have patented perpetual motion machines. I've renamed the article to "Sergey Bubnovskiy" to correct the name order and use a more standard transliteration of the surname, but many different spellings are possible in the Roman alphabet, especially when the transliteration is to a language other than English.

Even if the claim to be "the first twin couples to meet through the Internet" is true (it is not substantiated by the references), I doubt that that would be a sufficient claim to notability. The references given are the faculty pages of the two brothers, a newspaper item with an in-passing mention, and an item on an online site on twins (also in-passing mention). Does not meet WP:NBIO. As scientists, they also do not pass WP:PROF: both are assistant professors (who rarely meet our notability requirements) and the impact of their research for the moment is modest (Web of Science: for GM: 26 articles, h=9, total citations=329; for GJ: 18 articles, h=6, total citations=139).

Free Trade Agreement Between America and China

Started off by completing a redlinked nomination for IP editor User:207.45.87.67. They offered no rationale, and had no other posts that would explain why the article should be deleted. After reading through the article, however, I decided to complete the nomination anyway, on my own behalf.

In this case, the article seems written as if it were an Essay or report for school. It's not about a specific treaty or agreement, but rather advocates the idea of such an agreement. At best, it's synthesis. The references define terms and supporting facts - and note that Wikipedia is one of those sources. But, in tone and content, it's not an appropriate article.

I also believe that when the history of UK aviation protest it written this organisation will be seen as one of the most significant and effective.

Adjusted my own !vote to remove suggestion that a merge would be appropriate. I've thought about this. It is true that there probably should be a paragraph at Childbirth discussing how some women perceive childbirth as a traumatic assault, according to the amount of discussion given to this aspect in the secondary sources, it does not appear to be a very big part of the topic. The number of references to this perception in the secondary sources as "birth rape" is very, very small compared to "traumatic birth experience" and this discussion should be added as a sentence or two at Childbirth with a "main article" link to Childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder. I do not see enough coverage in secondary sources of the term "Birth rape" for a redirect link, although if we ended up with one I probably would not care. Zad68 17:44, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Birth rape" is a term and a concept which is important in contemporary discussion of bad hospital birthing practice. Here is a use in a textbook of midwifery from 2010,"Essential Midwifery Practice: Intrapartum Care," published by Wiley-Blackwell, a respected academic publisher: [20].That textbook in turn cites four apparently reliable sources in relation to women's experiences during birth being like rape. The definition of "birth rape" is given as "the experience of having fingers, scissors, and/or tools put/pushed/shoved inside a woman's vagina or rectum without her direct (or indirect) permission, quoting Freeze (2008). Another book discusses "birth rape" here in"Birth Journeys: Positive Birth Stories to Encourage and Inspire (2011)." Google scholar shows that "Women’s perceptions and experiences of a traumatic birth: a meta-ethnography" in Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 66, Issue 10, pages 2142–2153, October says "The term 'birth rape' has been used by women who feel that their bodies have been violated, and that they have been coerced into consenting to procedures without being informed of their details and accompanying risks. ..." "The impact of Childbirth experiences on women's sense of self: A review of the literature" in The Australian Journal of Midwifery, Volume 15, Issue 4, December 2002, Pages 10–16 per the snippet, cites "Christensen, M. (1992) "Birth Rape." Midwifery Today. 22 34. " Then there is "Birth rape: another midwife's story." in Midwifery Today Int Midwife. 2008 Spring;(85):42-3. Merging "a sentence" into the unassisted birth article in no way addresses the complaint, widely covered in reliable sources, about brutal and traumatizing practices in hospitals in which the woman in labor is treated in ways which can lead to PTSD. It is not just a dicdef., but an issue in contemporary, medical practice, in which hurried doctors do not explain what they are doing and why. Edison (talk) 16:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Edison, clearly this subject matter is important to you personally, but we have to apply Wikipedia's standards here...

"Essential Midwifery Practice: Intrapartum Care" -- looks to be only a brief mention on one page
"Birth Journeys: Positive Birth Stories to Encourage and Inspire" (2011) -- Published by "Star Cass" which appears to be a vanity publisher: http://en.youscribe.com/star-cass/publications/, has published no other works, does not appear to be a reliable source by Wikipedia standards
"Women’s perceptions and experiences of a traumatic birth: a meta-ethnography" in Journal of Advanced Nursing -- A one-sentence passing mention wouldn't qualify as "significant coverage". From the little Google Scholar snippet it doesn't appear to provide anything more than a defintion.
"The impact of Childbirth experiences on women's sense of self: A review of the literature" in The Australian Journal of Midwifery -- the Google snippet only shows the term appearing as a citation of "Birth Rape" by M. Christensen (1992) (below). If a significant discussion of "birth rape" really appears in this secondary source (a review article), that would really go a long way toward establishing notability, but I'm not seeing it
"Birth Rape" by M. Christensen (1992) in Midwifery Today, "Birth rape: another midwife's story" by Richland (2008) in Midwifery Today -- these might be useful as primary sources but we really need some good reliable secondary sources to use to actually write an encyclopedia article that isn't more than a dictionary definition and a list of anecdotal quotes from primary sources

Looking at other resources, like http://www.midwiferyjournal.com and doing a search on "birth rape" at PUBMED turns up zero hits. I'm still not seeing enough significant coverage in reliable secondary sources to be able to build a Wikipedia article. Zad68 16:54, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The gender gap project should be told about this. We have a birth trauma (physical) article but that is explicitly about physical trauma and is a poor effort with too much jargon. Other terms for the results of the mental trauma of the mother include unhappiness after childbirth and birth trauma. See The Social Context of Birth for detailed discussion. Our editing policy is to build upon such starts, not to delete them. Warden (talk) 18:19, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So you are saying this is a content fork of birth trauma (physical), but that's okay because there are editing issues with the extant piece, but we should canvas a select group so that we can keep this in spite of that? Carrite (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying that it would be good to have some women commenting upon the matter. And the topic here is not so much physical trauma as mental trauma. Warden (talk) 19:11, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hence we have an article on Childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder. There is no need to have another fork, when a merge and redirect will suffice, so that the larger article has a brief mention on the POV-charged neologistic term. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 19:17, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PTSD is a condition which develops after a trauma; it's not the actual trauma. And merger is not accomplished by deletion; it is a variety of Keep. Warden (talk) 19:26, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:PRESERVE says to fix problems and add sources yourself, the issue being raised at this AFD is that there aren't enough good sources to support an encyclopedia article. Do you have significant coverage and reliable secondary sources you can bring to help out? We looked and couldn't find them, that's the issue. And why do you think women in particular would be better equipped than anybody else to find such sources? Zad68 00:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable neologism. It's a midwifery POV slogan, a play on "birth rate," not an encyclopedic concept. Carrite (talk) 18:52, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Awesome, this article was created by a blocked sockpuppet who was adding info to the ultimate troll magnet piece, Donkey punch.

Comment I question your assertion that "birth rape" is a "play on birth rate." Any sources, or is it just your editorial intuition? The argument that the article must be deleted if created by a bad guy even if other editors find sources is unconvincing. And the coverage in a textbook published by Wiley calls into doubt your assertion that it is just "a midwifery slogan" as if it only appeared only on signboards of angry midwives marching around hospital entrances in protest. On the other hand, we do have a whole category of articles about slogans. Edison (talk) 19:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Wouldn't the article title also be a blatant violation of WP:POVTITLE? It's essentially equating/associating medical intervention with, you know, the act of being forced to engage in sexual intercourse without consent, which in most societies holds negative connotations. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 19:09, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge content and redirect to another article, if at least one decently developed paragraph can be written. The ineptitude or distastefulness of the term is irrelevant, but after reading the meager stub I still don't know what "birth rape" is supposed to mean. The section at Postnatal#Postpartum period in mothers seems to be a place where we collocate topics pertaining to new motherhood, pointing to postnatal depression and postpartum psychosis. It's a bit of a mess, though, and could use some sorting out, as psychological responses appear under the section on physical aftermath. Birth trauma (physical) is a confusing piece of work that according to the lede is about the child (or not?). Childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder has no real lede. So an editor who cares about our coverage in this area could probably serve our readers better by organizing and developing more centrally located content in these preexisting articles. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:55, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- As nearly as I can tell, it means "sometimes women have very unpleasant birth experiences", with particular venom reserved for medical professionals who either behave badly (making rude remarks, for example) or who behave perfectly but are believed to have behaved badly by a mother, who was perhaps not in the best condition for figuring out what was going on (you know, being busy giving birth, which probably didn't leave her a lot of time to keep track of who said what, much less enough education and experience to know whether an intervention was appropriate).

Weak delete - am inclined to support deletion given the apparent lack of multiple reliable sources available to establish that this is a widely used term beyond a small group of (perhaps WP:FRINGE) activists (one of the sources describes them that way), per WP:NEO. My reading of the material available is that even those reliable sources that accept the general "premise" (the traumatic experience), disagree with the application of the term itself, on the basis that it denotes a fringe-view reinterpretation of the word "rape". My concern would be that citing the sources that are available (quantity aside) could only ever result in a WP:WEIGHT issue if we suggest that the sources demonstrate an acceptance of the term. I could accept that the term has been used (though not widely) but any article would need to reflect what the sources say: that it is a fringe term used by activists and rallied against by those few mainstream media commentators who have decided to weigh into the issue.

Delete. WP:NEO says it doesn't matter if sources use the term. What matters is when reliable secondary sources analyze the term. The issues this concept raise are better discussed where they matter, perhaps somewhere like obstetrics and gynaecology. However, I see no requirement that the term "birth rape" be used to discuss the concept. Biosthmors (talk) 16:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What we need are reliable sources that are truly independent, not a bunch of sources that are quoting each other.

Is this professors sufficiently notable? No notability is really asserted through the brief article text right now, and the external link provides only slightly more information -- mentioned as a chair both at CUHK and Peking University, but not mentioned as a named chair.

Keep. He is the chair professor of Electrical Engineering at the ~~University of Hong Kong, an institution ranked typically in the 20s or 30s worldwide~~ City University of Hong Kong, ranked 50th to 100th in the world by various ranking agencies. Per this site he is on the faculty at Peking University College of Engineering. Directly meets WP:PROF criteria #5. If you go to the ranking of EE profs here, you can see he is quite high up, ranked 30th in the world (that is not an accurate rank, but should tell you he is in the top league). The number of publications (427) and citations (8461) clearly show significant influence in the field (WP:PROF criteria #1). Churn and change (talk) 06:00, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CUHK is also a major research university (as per the various rankings), and his H-index, publication and citation counts are all so high it is clear he has significant influence in the field.

2011 Tuvalu B-Division

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

Unreferenced article (external links provided are only to primary sources) claims that this is the "12th season of second highest football in Tuvalu". However, this is not strictly true, it is merely the reserve league. There is no promotion or relegation to the A-Division and the games played are only 30 minute halves, so it would be difficult to call this a proper football league in any case. Looking at the articles for Tuvalu Independence Cup and NBT Cup, it is clear that there is one competition for the A-teams and one for the B-teams. Therefore, only the competition for the A-teams could be classed as the genuine national cup (it is difficult to tell which one is the National Cup as neither states it is, although I think the Independence Cup is as it is the longest running). Taking the A-team competition as the true national cup, this league therefore fails WP:FOOTYN as it is not a league from which clubs can enter the national cup, they merely enter a reserve cup and so articles on individual seasons are not notable. Additionally, all the links to the competing teams merely point to the A-team, so there is nothing in the article to assert its own inherent notability and even rsssf makes no mention of the league in 2011 (although it also does not report the A-Division) and if it is not reported on that site then I would say it is a pretty firm bet that it also fails WP:GNG.

- Comment. This response is not a suitable argument for keeping the article for the following reasons:

1. As stated in all the other deletion discussions you have responded to, please try to avoid using the "It's been here for ages so should stay argument". This is completely irrelevant and is specifically one argument that editors are asked to avoid here.

2. Secondly, your remarks about Tahiti and fijian competitions are an example of Other stuff exists so why not this which as I have stated in other discussions with you is not appropriate

3. Disregarding the obvious inherent issues with your argument as outlined above, the problem with the B-Division is unlike Tahiti Second Division it is not part of a football pyramid. As the article clearly states, there is no promotion or relegation. As the various articles on cups in Tuvalu here, here, here and here all show clearly, there is a separate competition in each cup for reserve teams. As such, no team that competes in this league could be said to enter the national cup as only A Teams enter the A part of each cup. Therefore this league does not pass WP:FOOTYN. The Tahitian Second Division contains clubs which I would assume can enter the National cup as part of the football pyramid. The Fijian inter-district championship is not a good argument to use as it is merely an unreferenced list of results and like your article makes no attempt to assert notability. Indeed, I would suggest that a deletion discussion for that competition is also valid. Fenix down (talk) 17:57, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~very weak~~ keep I agree that this topic passes the simple bar of notability. However I would gladly delete a hundred articles like this in favour of one good article on computer-controlled die-cutting in the home crafting market. 3D printing is at risk of going the same way too.

This article is far from encyclopedic. It discusses one trivial machine (as AL rightly complains) that is of no long-standing significance. Wired didn't report this machine because the Cricut is the next Model T Ford, but because it was just a convenient example for the broader topic of home CNC applied to crafting. That has encyclopedic significance and value, Cricut does not. The article is bloated with, if not outright promotion, then at least unencyclopedic parts-catalogue information about this one machine. What an encyclopedia should be doing is to cover the broader topic instead, not the narrow example. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:10, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article has been updated to cover various Cricut machines, and has been copy edited to reduce promotional tone. More inline citations have also been added. It sure takes a lot more time to improve articles than it does to simply delete them by convincing an administrator to press a few buttons! Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would contest the comment above that the article just discusses "one trivial machine" out of the whole field of home cutters. The fact is that Cricut (and we're talking about the entire line of machines from this manufacturer) has achieved a very considerable dominance in this sector, both in marketshare and in mindshare, because of its unique closed proprietary design-cartridge business model, which has made it far more lucrative for retailers and, in particular, for television home-shopping craft channels to promote, to an extent that has given the company the overwhelming brand visiblility, pretty much to the exclusion of all others. One could also make a case that cutting plotters have been around pretty much since the '70s, but that it is the ease-of-use, all-in-one-sleek-package, ready-to-go nature of Cricut's cartridge system (as well as the retailer-attractiveness of its business model) that has essentially created a substantial new market for these machines in the craft sector, which previously was barely there.

The other thing that I think makes this article a "keep" are Cricut's DMCA suits against would-be manufacturers of interoperable software. The trademark assertions are particularly bogus, as there's clear descriptive use, similar for example to referring to "Dyson vacuum cleaners" if what you're about to say is only applicable to Dyson vacuum cleaners -- this is not a trademark infringement, even if undertaken for the purposes of trade or commerce. The copyright assertions, for Cricut's on-the-wire protocols, are also very questionable. This was the kind of thing that in EU vs Microsoft was compared to trying to copyright the numerical combination you've chosen for a combination lock. Under U.S. law it arguably would be seen as "functional" speech rather than "creative" or "expressive" -- so not covered by copyright law. There are (thankfully) not so very many examples of the use of copyright overreach of this kind to succesfully shut down technical competitors -- though various inkjet printer cartridge manufacturers tried something similar in 2004-5. (It's also far from clear that MTC and SCAL were really hurting Cricut, as many users on forums at the time said they appreciated Cricut's designs and instant ease-of-use, and identified themselves as therefore also being some of the most committed buyers of Cricut's cartridges). But anyway I'm saying that I think from a legal point of view Cricut has also made itself notable, too. Jheald (talk) 16:31, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's an important point. Certainly we shouldn't lose coverage of Cricut's DRM-heavy approach from here, unless we had it covered equally well in some other more general article.

As to market share, then that's a US issue. They're unknown here in the UK. Although the UK market is tiny as yet, and there's certainly no big-spend advertising for them, the machines that are in use are at the more open end of access. Having seen just how horrible the Cricut lock-in is, there's no way I'd ever buy one of these.

I'd still much rather see a good article on the topic, rather than an article on one machine. However this DRM issue swings its significance in favour of keeping it. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:22, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question. Are train stations inherently notable? Several stations around the world, even relatively minor ones, seem to have articles. Is there a notability guideline for stations somewhere? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:03, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, stations are generally considered to be inherently notable, no matter what their size. But as the nom says, this station doesn't even exist yet. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:35, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Derail. Normally I would say that this would be notable. It turns out that it doesn't exist (after all, the MRT ends at Taft, not at F.B. Harrison). No reliable sources either. No wonder I haven't heard of this one before (never saw anything in the newspapers about this station, and I read The Philippine Star everyday). And the fact that there isn't any reliable coverage (other than the one in the article, which is dead) is merely the final nail in the coffin.

I tried to compare it other existing articles as a reference but it sounds like I did a pretty bad job of it, sorry! Is there any recommendations of how I can improve this article because I really would like to? I approached it like an online web article but perhaps I've gotten the style wrong? Also, I think I had the wrong idea about sources/references so I'm going to try and fix that. I really want to be able to write and help edit wikipedia articles in the future and if you can steer me on the right track it would be appreciated.

I happen to think that those people aren't notable by our guidelines, but there's nothing wrong with trying to write them up anyway.

Comment - I haven't checked the sources carefully enough to see if any of them help meet WP:GNG, but I find sending a new user's article to AfD 40 minutes after creation to be somewhat unhelpful. A better option would have been to tag the article as {{refimprove}} and alert an appropriate Wikiproject so they can have a look at getting better sources. Would it have been a serious threat to Wikipedia for this article to stick around for about another week before being AfDed?

  - You're certainly lucky that Yingykong has been humble and civil enough to say "okay, my first article wasn't up to scratch". He could have easily have said "sod this for a game of soldiers, I'm off to Facebook" and we'd be discussing where all the new editors went at WP:WER again. The reference to the ARS was more a reference to the fact that they can generally talk a better argument against deletion than I can, so I'm a bit surprised you nominated this at AfD and then asked the ARS to rescue it. Isn't that a bit overkill, as opposed to just improving the article? --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Why do I even respond? *sigh* I looked, I found nothing--and I have found in the past that sometimes others can find things that I can't. That's why.

Keep - this is a valid geographic area historically, and Swedish WP already lists sources, so on both grounds GNG is not really an issue. I can translate it as and when, but the AfD does not depend on that: notability is shown by the existence of sources, not their inclusion in an article.

Keep As I understand policy, officially recognised geographical entities are notable (per WP:NGEO), whether they're still used officially or not - since notability isn't temporary (WP:NTEMP), we don't delete things that are no longer official geographical entities.

Haha, just joking, I know this would not be done. ChemTerm (talk) 17:33, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Sollentuna Municipality. While we presume that places are notable, there is already this other article on the place, Sollentuna, and it is reasonable to include the parish within it. There is no prejudice against creating an article on churches (for example) of special interest, if there are adequate sources. I note that Swedish WP's "Sollentuna kyrka" ('Sollentuna church') has materials that could be used. And could everyone remain civil, please. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:50, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But the parish itself is notable already, it deserves a stand alone article, rather than a merge to Sollentuna. It has potential for great expansion, with a fair share of cleanup. Merging would swamp potential material. Bonkers The Clown (talk) 12:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In that case we would need citations that show the parish - not the church or town - is separately notable, as notability is not inherited. If you can identify three or four such reliable, independent citations then of course the article can stay. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:07, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Here. Mentioned in many lines in The Meaning of Christian Liturgy: Recent Developments in the Church of Sweden By Oloph Bexell, Gordon W. (FRW) Lathrop. Also mentioned in quite a few other books, like 'Visions of the past: trends and traditions in Swedish medieval archaeology, Tor, Volume 9, etc. Notability guidelines say only two sources are needed to affirm notability, so yea, this will pass easily.

Comment at User:Chiswick Chap - for the parish to be inside the municipality article, you surely found boundary information?

ChemTerm (talk) 17:33, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Parishes, unlike geographic locations, are not inherently notable and these is nothing that I can see that makes this one difference. The GoogleBook hits are all passing mentions (usually in reference to the church by the same name, which may deserve an article) or are non-notable coverage. There is simply no significant, in-depth coverage as required by WP:GNG. Additionally, the limited information on the proper swedish wikiepdia site, Sollentuna församling doesn't indicate to me that there are any major sources available in Swedish either.

Comment: I guess the notability would depend on whether we are talking about the historic Sollentuna parish (sv:Sollentuna socken), which is a geographical location, albeit a non-current one, that is attested in written documents from the 13th century, but was almost certainly around from the 12th century (when the earliest parts of the church are dated), and possibly earlier, or the current Church of Sweden parish (sv:Sollentuna församling). The latter has its origins in the historic parish but is, in its current incarnation, a less interesting and rather ephemeral unit likely to change in size and shape to adapt to the trend of secularization. The historic parishes were also the basis of the first modern municipalities in 1863, when the ecclesiastical and secular aspects of the parishes were separated in two different but (for the next 90 years or so, with local variations) geographically identical units. --Hegvald (talk) 16:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a parish. Parishes are not generally notable. Individual churches within them may be notable as historic buildings, but not the parish as an organisation. No other Swedish ecclesiastical parishes appear to have articles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:57, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  - Yes, we're all aware of that. However, it may surprise you to learn that Wikipedia has been around a long time now and the fact that not a single other Swedish parish has an article is telling.

    - I think you are not a clown. You are very serious about what you do. But you are not bringing up clever reasoning. Indeed "the fact that not a single other Swedish parish has an article is telling". Maybe due to vandals like you. You act with bad faith, and cite no policy that warrants deletion.

AfDs allow for opinions and that is what I have stated. You are within your rights not to agree with them, but not to attack those who give them.

        Well, an experienced editor would provide a related policy or guideline backing up his statement. You do not.

It depends on if we're talking about sv:Sollentuna socken or sv:Sollentuna församling, as explained by Hegvald. If the latter, then convert into the former and keep. Historical parishes in Sweden went beyond simple ecclesiastical division from the 1500s onward, becoming used for such functions property registry and local record-keeping. Thus, they aren't much different from other small-level administrative units like U.S. townships. I'd agree that the modern ecclesiastical unit probably isn't notable, but the historical parish is as notable as any other small geographic location. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 01:45, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I can note (notice) the församling. So do the users at the Swedish WP. :-) Seriously. I swear by god I can not(ic)e it.

Keep -- I presume that the parish is a subdivision of the municpality. This was a local administrative unit. There is no reason why we should not have articles on them, but typically in England we have an article on a village or locality, which may happen to be similar in extent to a civil parish, rather than directly on the parish. In other words, this article is not just about a church. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:38, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it's not an administrative sub-division. It's an ecclesiastical parish - merely the area served by a church or set of churches with no civil administrative functions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:04, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Confusion seems to be arising here because some editors, mostly from non-English-speaking countries, are confusing parishes which are civil administrative units (e.g. in England and Louisiana) with parishes that are merely small ecclesiastical sub-divisions and have no civil administrative function. The former can be notable and are often kept, the latter, generally, are not. Note that we do not have articles on most English civil parishes, as these are considered too small, and these seem to be a similar size to the Swedish parishes. We do have articles on the villages after which English parishes are named, but we also have articles on the villages after which Swedish parishes are named (e.g. Sollentuna Municipality itself), so this is an identical situation. Parishes in Louisiana are the equivalent of counties and are thus much larger units. All these differences in terminology seem to be creating a little confusion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Sorry, but could ya sum it up in English? Bonkers The Clown (talk) 14:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I plain English: unless articles on ecclesical parishes are properly sourced and prove notability, they normally deleted. See for example: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalgety Bay Parish Church, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St. Blog's Parish, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St. Joseph Parish, Norwich, Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 April 18#Template:Infobox Swedish Parish and Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2008-06-04#The Mosaic Parish of Karlskrona (declined). But I have to admit that those discussion were never easy. The Banner _talk 14:57, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sollentuna Municipality is the modern equivalent of the historical Sollentuna Parish. It's not a village or town, it's an administrative district. You're quick to throw the blame on "non-English-speaking" editors for the confusion, but I think it rather stems from those non-Swedish-speaking (or non-Google-Translate-using) editors who can't be bothered to find out the difference between socknar and församlingar. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 16:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, we're aware of that. But if you check, you'll see that Sollentuna as a community does not yet have an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:10, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are we ignoring the fact that Sollentuna Municipality is (roughly) the modern equivalent of the former Sollentuna Parish? If the municipality gets an article, then why not the socken that it replaced? You seem to be fairly intent on having these articles deleted regardless of anything pointed out to you, so why do I even bother? ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 17:25, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. It is my contention that Sollentuna itself should have an article, but the various minor administrative units associated with it should not and should simply be factored into the main article about the municipality. This is the norm with Swedish municipalities and I'm not sure why others seem to think this particular community (and Bromma) should be an exception to the norm.

Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 21:36, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The case of this parish and Bromma parish is complicated by the fact that Stockholm has now more or less engulfed them. Fact of the matter is, these parishes were for centuries quite distinct from the city, and so cannot be reasonably called a "neighbourhood" or "city ward". Socknar were distinct units of a number towns and/or villages, with hybrid civil-ecclesiastical administrative functions. That the administration was of a different nature than American government is to be expected, as Sweden has a different legal/governmental history than America—that doesn't mean that there was no local governing function. The historical socknar retain importance to this very day in Swedish linguistic research, toponymy, local/regional history, and archaeology. And somehow I don't think that "city ward" or "neighbourhood" is an adequate descriptor for e.g. sv:Jokkmokks socken (now there's a name for you). ~~ Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 16:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I get you. Strange wording perhaps. Thanks for clearing that up and for the link. Am leaning towards delete. There's not much there to establish notability now and no guarantee that it will be released in the future (the article you provide suggests it might be but this is basically a rumour or a guess, so WP:BALL #5).

~~Weak keep~~ Merge to Shooting Star (EP). - this is not helped by the fact the EP and the track have the same name!

Having re-read the MTV and Billboard sources, I'm now of the opinion that they don't offer enough new information about the track to make the article into much more than a track listing. Its charting (in the very upper reaches of the UK chart) and potential future realease can be mentioned in Shooting Star (EP). Sionk (talk) 11:41, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Charted and therefore notable. It has also been released as a digital download so the nomination is incorrect in stating that "The song has not been released yet". Apparently the Christian market and the UK don't count for where songs may be released in the nominator's mind. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:16, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response and comment only. Familiarity with WP:NSONGS is necessary, it says, Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. This song may have charted, but certainly not "ranked on a national or significant music chart" and there certainly isn't at present enough veriafiable for a reasonably detailed article, at present it is purely discography entry dressed up as an article.

Can you explain how the official UK singles chart is not national, nor significant? Ironholds (talk) 11:13, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Easy. Is number 176 in any chart actually notable? Does No 176 in any chart actually generate enough information to create a song article? Is the article about a song or a single? Is the entry actually an encyclopedic entry or is it a discography entry? Finally many song articles have been deleted/merged on notability grounds for songs that achieved much higher charting than 176. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:16, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

None of those hypothetical questions actually answer my initial query, which was "can you explain how the chart" is not national or significant, not "can you explain how the position" does not lend itself to significance. Ironholds (talk) 12:49, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are arguing semantics which is unnecessary as I have not expressed any !vote in the matter. Your time would have been spent much better addressing the points I have raised in the article, if you think I have raised valid points. If you disagree with me, that's fine too. If you disagree with WP:NSONGS that's a different matter altogether. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:57, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree with WP:NSONGS, which discusses the importance of charts, not the relative position of a song on those charts. This is what I am trying to communicate to you :). The fact that you have not !voted does not make discussing this irrelevant - it means that discussing this is not necessary to "win", sure, but I consider a win to be "talking through the rationale and trying to work out who is wrong or right to better inform future discussions". Ironholds (talk) 13:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In which case you should be aware of the first two words of NSONGS... "Most songs." If we drop down to 176 (irrespective of which chart) then we are saying "Anything that has charted is notable." which is not what NSONGS says. --Richhoncho (talk) 14:16, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, it also says "songs that have charted....are probably notable", but I think at this point it's clear we're talking past each other and not getting anywhere. Ironholds (talk) 14:43, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it says "probably notable," not are notable, therefore the other parts of NSONGS kick in. Awards? Independent coverage? Can it be more than a stub? Presently the article is a discography entry, it tells nobody anything about "the song!" --Richhoncho (talk) 14:55, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard's US Christian Songs is notable and it reached No. 36. Therefore notable. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:02, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not going to get into discussion if a particular chart is notable, but your words remind me greatly of WP:NOTINHERITED. Assuming that No 36 in the chart is notable, then why can't there be more information about the song? If there can't be, then the article must be a permanent stub, so deletion/merging according to WP:NSONGS would be the correct action to take. I think I understand that you and Ironholds think the article should be saved, what I am not understanding is "Why?" - I'd like to see a well-written article on this song where I and every other reader can learn something about this song. All we have at the moment is that it charted in 2 different charts - if that's all a song article meant to be we might as well delete all song articles and copy the charts because song articles are now irrelevant.

Keep. I believe enough material exists to satisfy WP:NSONGS and build a "reasonably detailed article". Sections on the song's background (e.g., originally written "four years ago" but didn't make the cut for Ocean Eyes; he finally presented a 90-second demo of the "old leftover instrumental idea" to Stargate; etc.) and music video can be created. And as far as the charts go, the song peaked at number 49 on the Japan Hot 100. The combination of coverage in reliable sources (MTV and Billboard) and chart info is enough to put me in the keep camp.

Other, less significant items (in terms of depth) can also be incorporated. This JesusFreakHideout review: while it is about the EP overall, approximately 130 words discuss the song, and that's better than a passing mention, at least. And there's a tidbit that "Shooting Star" was intended to be the first single from The Midsummer Station until the success of Call Me Maybe led to Owl City's management choosing the duet "Good Time" instead.

Keep. Thanks to Gongshow. You understood what I was saying. WP is a little more than a repository of discography entries. I note there's something in the links you gave that helps fill out "about the song" bit of a song article. --Richhoncho (talk) 16:16, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
