Previous AfD debate was non-consensual regarding inclusion following notability criteria, individual appears to be using wikipedia for self-propagandizing purposes, reopening with hope of reaching definitive conclusion Bdbdd (talk) 01:45, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - Most definitively meets WP:GNG - Cwobeel (talk) 02:28, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
confused - What exactly is the justification for speedy keep? The page is an orphan, barring a self-produced film, and the edit history suggests reasonable doubt w/r/t CoI Bdbdd (talk) 02:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because (a) it meets GNG, and (b) it seems that this AFD was your first edit. - Cwobeel (talk) 03:31, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically which guideline are you using as a line of argument? It seems irrelevant what my first edit is within wikipedia - WP:DNB? My rationale is, I think, clear. The article is non-notable. What is yours? Bdbdd (talk) 04:00, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Previous AFD was "no consensus to delete", and the subject easily meets WP:GNG. Your sudden appearance to nom this article for AFD is highly unusual. - Cwobeel (talk) 14:19, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notability is not inherited. Almost the entire article is about who he is related to, married to, or working with. Read the article and try and find info about him. There's not much, and none of it is notable.--Dmol (talk) 04:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, at least temporarily. He is currently the subject of significant media coverage in response to his op-ed in the New York Times. Moonboy54 (talk) 04:52, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep/Comment - For some unknown reason the nominators first edit was to AFD this article, On the basis of the last AFD as well as the delete !vote here I think it's unfair for me to close as Speedy Keep, Anyway IMHO the article looks fine & NOTINHERITED doesn't apply but meh Keep. –Davey2010Talk 13:42, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - His political involvement and his involvement in the two films are enough in my mind to meet notability requirements.XavierGreen (talk) 18:19, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd also note, it seems strange to me that the very first edit the nominator made as a wikipedia user was an AFD, to me it seems like he created the account solely for the purpose of AFDing this page.XavierGreen (talk) 18:21, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no real notability other than irrelevant WP:INHERITED.--Rpclod (talk) 05:43, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the coverage he gets is more down to his ability to get famous fiancés, rather than anything he's actually doing himself. While the NYT thing is pretty bizarre, nobody would care if they weren't also Sofía Vergara's embryos. WP:NOTINHERITED very much applies here. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:18, 2 May 2015 (UTC).[reply]

  • Keep per WP:GNG. Patapsco913 (talk) 17:49, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not Notable. Some recent news stories announce a partnership with another firm, but that's about it. Yes, it has revenue of more than $1 billion, but that alone does not make a company Notable these days.

  • Notability is highly subjective these days. The fact that it does have revenue of >$1 billion alone makes it notable, regardless of BeenAroundAWhile's opinion. He is a deletionist, who regularly tags articles for deletion. ASV is a highly respected company doing business in many countries, not just the USA. It is notable as a builder of highly recognizable brands and products... i.e. Spartan ambulances; some of the biggest names in RVs today: Monaco, Holiday Rambler; various buses, etc..

  • Keep A Google News search seems to confirm GNG, and their revenues are very impressive. The sourcing in the article could be better considering what's out there, but that's no reflection on its notability. Boleyn (talk) 11:57, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - From what I can gather from the sources I found, it's pretty well known for specializing in a single dish, mutton biriyani, since 1939. I found enough sources to satisfy WP:GNG despite the obvious language barrier:

  • Tentative keep Yes, the article has issues and is an orphan, but the Daily Star article seems enough to establish notability, stating that it's very well known, significant, etc. I'm not a foodie but I am guessing restaurants are not businesses that tend to get a lot press outside of reviews and profiles on their chefs. I also imagine there are sources in the local language (which I am guessing is Bengali). МандичкаYO 😜 05:42, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: being Thomas Hardy's cousin does not create notability. Any salient info can be manually included in Hardy's article. Quis separabit? 11:44, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Easily passes the WP:GNG with significant coverage which addresses the topic directly in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. She was not only his cousin but a possible lover and also inspiration for one of his poems.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Theroadislong (talkcontribs) 12:14, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't see it. She was Hardy's cousin and inspired him and some of his characters may have been based on aspects of her life and personality, but that does not in and of itself create notability which is not hereditary. Quis separabit? 13:28, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's really irrelevant that she was Hardy's cousin, she has received enough coverage about her life for a stand alone article. The WP:GNG states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Theroadislong (talk) 13:34, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Only factoid (not even confirmed) I could find of notability is this:

Shortly after his return, Hardy probably entered into a passionate affair with Tryphena Sparks (1851-1890), an attractive sixteen-year-old cousin. Tryphena was the youngest child of James and Maria Sparks, Hardy’s uncle and aunt, who lived in a thatched cottage in the nearby village of Puddletown. Some biographers believe that in the years 1868 to 1870, when she was a trainee teacher in the Puddletown school, she had a romance with Hardy, although there is too little evidence of their relationship. Nevertheless, Tryphena must have exerted some profound effect on Hardy’s life since she appears in disguise in many of his novels and poems. After her death Hardy wrote a poem pervaded with personal memories, entitled, "Thoughts of Phena”. Quis separabit? 13:40, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Sparks has received in depth coverage in a number of books as referenced in the article and there are more than 12,000 Google hits for her. I don't see a problem with notability. Theroadislong (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re-direct to Thomas Hardy.--Rpclod (talk) 05:34, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Any literary commentary on Hardy seems to also give space to Tryphena Sparks, and to see her as someone more than a minor footnote to him. [1][2][3] There's a credible book, Providence and Mr. Hardy whose central thesis is the significance of this relationship. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:12, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Thomas_Hardy#Life (there is currently no mention of the subject in that article). Notability is not inherited (as the person immediately above is actually arguing the case it is), however the person is apparently the subject of some of his poems and thus of somewhat more importance than a mere (alleged) romantic interest, and so CHEAPLY recommend "giving space" in Hardy.

The topic is based solely on newspaper gossip and reads like a tourist advertisement for Van Province. Note: Tried to fix the article before realizing I was essentially fixing an advertisement. --92slim (talk) 13:53, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So you mean you are not instead patrolling anything related to a certain ethnicity, interesting... --176.239.33.146 (talk) 07:16, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I have a feeling that this might have regional notability (e.g. see CNN story), but I can only read English. I have placed a notice in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey. Milliyet also appears to be a reliable source, but is there enough to meet our notability standards? I don't know. - Location (talk) 13:35, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Of course this is a gossip. But even gossips may be notable. See Loch Ness Monster and Martians. While nobody believed its existence, this monster has always been in the news and there were many articles on it. It is notable. (And one thing more, Lake Van area is not a potential touristic area and it is hard to explain the monster as a touristic blah.) Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:55, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is not notable outside of Turkey, unlike the Loch Ness Monster, and as such the deletion is warranted. The creature first appeared in a news article; come on. --92slim (talk) 19:36, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Claiming it has local notability is not a valid reason for deletion. If a thing is notable, then it is notable. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:15, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the point, it's the fact that it originated from a gossipy newspaper article. --92slim (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete - Article fails WP:GNG. The 4th and 5th sources lack significant coverage, merely a listing and a mention. The third source is mostly an interview with the author of the first source. Multiple coverage by the same person does not increase notability. Both news columns are essentially blogs with no actual research and are not reliable sources. --Steverci (talk) 17:33, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Steverci: Actually, articles cannot fail GNG, although topics can. As per WP:NRVE, topic notability is based upon available sources, rather than the state of sourcing in articles. North America1000 00:23, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While it obviously does not exist as a living creature, it exists as news reports in a wide range of media, from print to TV documentaries, including those that are in reliable sources that are independent of the subject (so the GNG argument expressed above fails). And it exists in visual forms as statues and a strip-cartoon character. A more detailed examination of local media might throw up some sources for this. There was also a Japanese documentary made about it. The proposer's allegation that the article reads like a tourist advertisement is a reason to improve it, not to delete it. Maybe some source places its appearance into its social context (rapidly rising water levels of the lake, economic depression, societal stress due to a change from a rural to urban economy, conflicts between the PKK and Turkish forces, etc.). It is notable enough to have several statues depicting it: including a new bronze one in Van city which has some artistic merit (a rare thing for statues in Turkey), and an older and very bizarre concrete one in Gevash that looks like a dinosaur. Again, a more detailed examination of local media might lead to sources for these. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 18:54, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So The Daily Mail UK type gossip warrants articles for touristic purposes? Sorry, not buying that. --92slim (talk) 19:39, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The 1990s appearance of the Lake monster is mentioned on p47 in Professor James Russell's "Van and the Persistence of Memory" in "Armenian Van/Vaspurakan", ed. Richard G. Hovannisian, published in 2000. There is enough content in Russell's article to expand the current scope of the Wikipedia article beyond the mere 1990s supposed monster into the long-standing folk belief of monsters dwelling in Lake Van. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:20, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have added some content from this source into the article. There is still more to add. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:58, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question What does Delete I already know it's an unimportant article mean, User:92slim? Have you not been to the teahouse yet? This is lack of respect to other people. --141.196.205.35 (talk) 22:10, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nice try. Maybe you should stop sockpuppeting for a change. Investigation link here. --92slim (talk) 14:47, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep It doesn't seem very important, a lake monster from the Turkish hinterlands (Van Province is literally at the back end of Turkey.) But it does have sources and more could probably be found.--Auric talk 00:26, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Having souces doesn't satisfy notability, because the article is based on a newspaper gossip article from 1889. The video is unverified and the "Armenian vishap" story is not even remotely related. --92slim (talk) 00:31, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Having sources DOES satisfy notability. "Notability" does not mean "something a Wikipedia editor thinks is important". So, 92slim, notability is unconnected to what you personally think is important or unimportant. The subject is mentioned in newspaper sources and it is mentioned in an academic source. The existence of that last source alone nullifies all arguments to delete. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 14:02, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting non-argument. Read Wikipedia:Notability before writing nonsensical things. --92slim (talk) 17:22, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. There are 153 rivalries in the AFL; only a few of them (like the Carlton–Collingwood AFL rivalry) are notable.

Ostensibly this subject has many sources in poor-quality academic journals.

Having looked at one of the sources I can see where these are from. The similarity of Binet's formula to the hyperbolic functions means this straightforward transformation turns the latter into the former, and lets you e.g. generate Fibonacci numbers from them, and so plug them into formulae/properties of those numbers. But that’s the sum total what‘s interesting about them, it could easily be covered by a sentence in one or both of these articles, and none of it appears in this article.

The article states in the very first sentence that Powers 'is most notable for winning the 1976 College World Series Most Outstanding Player award'. This accomplishment does not satisfy BASE/N.

  • At least redirect, and I could see keeping per Spanneraol. It's not that he magically becomes notable for playing in a particular tournament, it's that he may well have had enough coverage to meet GNG regardless, and any Pan-Am coverage may well expand the amount of coverage he received. As a pre-internet player, any coverage about him is not as easy to find, but that is why we have these presumptions of notability. In any case, I am not sure why this is at AfD. A redirect could be achieved by simply editing the article to make it a redirect. Rlendog (talk) 22:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    It's at AfD because 1) I'm not really comfortable with unilaterally redirecting without getting any input and 2) I think Alex would probably just revert me anyway.

This was prodded, and the prod rationale makes some valid points, but given the topic's potential to be a valid topic, this would benefit from the greater scrutiny of an AfD. The prod rationale was as follows: "This article has been around for a decade without any sufficient citations. When they are provided, they don't support the page's own definition of what a riot is. Given the persistent lack of evidence to support the notion that these pieces caused a riot, the page should be deleted and replaced with a category." Arxiloxos (talk) 20:44, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • As I wrote on the nominator's talk page: If nothing else, then solely the most striking cases of music impacting on the world of art, this particular overlap between the domain of music and society, seems sufficient in itself to justify that the article should be retained. If there is music psychology, how would anyone question the most tangible instances of music sociology? Irrespective of the condition of the article (and a dozen examples are far from few), the topic itself lends significance to the article. (In the worst case, the specific incidents may be divided by whether they were riots as such or other obvious expressions of outrage.) In short, my vote is unequivocally keep. Adam78 (talk) 23:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: There are 12 riots listed, 3/4ths of which have citations. Of the ones I could check out, all used the word "riot" without qualification or further details, but that should be enough for Wikipedia, they're proper secondary sources, right? The riot at the premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is particularly well known, and I see the first listed, while not fitting the usual definition, emptied into a riot that sparked the independence of Belgium, which is no small thing; you might say it's more evidence of the Power of Music, echoing the general point Adam78 makes above. Hga (talk) 17:21, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete:There only 8 citations on the page, 3 of which are direct links to content where the word "riot" appears. Still, that is not enough for Wikipedia. There must be a definition of what a classical music riot actually is, and according to this page, it is "violent, disorderly behavior". Of the 3 available sources, none of them describe behavior that fits this definition. Most of the entries on this list were not actual riots. They were variations on the well-known practice of claquers. It is extremely misleading to label them as riots. Trumpetrep (talk) 02:05, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That citation just demonstrates the reason why this article should be scrapped. The passage you linked to misstates basic historical facts and repeats myths which are untrue. That kind of bad history has no place on Wikipedia.Trumpetrep (talk) 12:19, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The word "riot" has many shades of meaning (the OED lists 12, covering various types of extreme emotion and protest). It seems clear that it is commonly used for occasions of this sort, regardless of the details. For another example of this usage, see 10 of the best: Musical riots. The author of that piece, Tom Service, has a doctorate and now lectures and writes on music. If you dispute his scholarship, then you must provide other sources as we can't delete such material purely on your say-so. Andrew D. (talk) 22:03, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tom Service is a fine critic who wrote a dissertation about John Zorn, but did you actually read that article? He actually cites viewer's complaints to the BBC for broadcasting Birtwistle's Panic as a riot. Surely you see how ridiculous that is. There are no shortage of people who are happy to make money off of exaggerating what actually happened (and why) at these so-called riots, but that, however, is a separate issue from the one at hand.
Please take a moment to click through to the riot article that is used on the page to define a "Classical Music Riot". You will see how inappropriate the word "riot" is for the behaviors on display in these instances. This page is an indiscriminate collection of information, which is grounds for deletion on Wikipedia. Most of the listed "riots" do not meet the page's own definition of what a riot is. If you look at the Talk page, you will see the history of my suggestions on how to improve this page, which include redefining the word "riot" to one not found in English or another label that is in fact more accurate.
People seem emotionally attached to this page, and I have no objection to fixing it. But for three years no one has taken an interest in improving this page. If proof of a riot is to come in sources like a wildly overblown Guardian blog post or rote repetitions of myths, that is insufficient. So, it seems reasonable to just delete it altogether. Trumpetrep (talk) 22:48, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two editors worked upon the article last year; they just didn't get much done. I turn up now and start producing substantial sources, which seem to be low-hanging fruit. Here's another one which has an extensive account of the matter. It uses the word riot too and links the topic to violent melees which occurred at exhibitions of modernist art: Movement, Manifesto, Melee. The ease with which one can turn up such sources demonstrates that this is just another case where more work is needed. This is quite normal for our topics because only about 1% have been recognised as good quality. Wikipedia is a work-in-progress, does not have a deadline and so it is explicit policy that articles may be imperfect. Andrew D. (talk) 08:18, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Let's not misstate facts. There was no concerted effort by any editor other than myself last year to improve this article, as the edit history clearly shows. Hyacinth made three helpful edits one day, but that's it.
Moreover, let's not pretend like the sources you've provided aren't low-hanging fruit for a reason. They are repeating pernicious myths and grossly exaggerating historical events. Music scholarship has grown past the days when this kind of hyperbole was acceptable.
Lastly, you have provided your first good link: to Mr. Cohen's book. Perhaps unwittingly, you provided the very kind of language that should replace the word "riot" in this article, if it is to be kept. On page 147, he lists a handful of pieces that received a "hostile audience response". That is language that accurately describes what is being inaccurately called a "riot" in most of these instances. If this page were to remain on Wikipedia, it should be renamed to accurately reflect the fact that the listed compositions did not always provoke a riot, but rather, particularly notable disapproval from its audience. Trumpetrep (talk) 13:42, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • We shouldn't get too hung up on the word riot as, while it seems to be the most common usage, there are other fighting words used such as scandal, storm, battle, melee, disruption, tumult, upheaval, demonstration, fisticuffs, donnybrook, &c. "Hostile audience response" isn't good enough because a key point about many of these events is that there were two sides acting up - the pro and the contra. For example, "...so determined were both sides to fight each other that the music quickly became lost in the battle...". The accounts remind me of what we see here on Wikipedia - disputes between inclusionists and deletionists, such as this very discussion. :) Andrew D. (talk) 17:04, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
With that quote from Cohen, you have (perhaps inadvertently) hit precisely on the reason why "riot" is such a misguided, inaccurate, and unhelpful term in this situation. The fact that these disturbances were often preordained, as either ongoing skirmishes in petty style wars (Nijinsky) or outright publicity stunts (Antheil), is indicative of the fact that nothing resembling a "riot" was in fact taking place. While I grant that "List of Classical Music With Hostile Audience Responses" is not as catchy as the current title, it's far more accurate and welcoming of the type of entries that people seem to want to include.
The fact of the matter is, if you want to create a list of every time a classical piece was met by booing or worse, you'd have something akin to the Yellow Pages on your hands. I have no problem with such a list. I could see real value in an article that marks instances of open hostility to a piece of music. Again, I would beseech you another time to look at the history of this page, the edit history of the article, and its talk page to see that I have no problem with keeping this page, as long as it is accurate.
The problem is that the page clearly defines what a riot is, and then proceeds to name things that do not meet this definition. It's hard to take an editor seriously when he says that we shouldn't get hung up on the operative word in the title of an article. What else is the purpose of an encyclopedia? If words and their meanings are not to be taken seriously, why bother?

  • Keep – The article lists a number of well known and often discussed incidents and provides sources. It may be imperfect, but that's no reason to delete it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:44, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Imperfection is not why it's being nominated for deletion. It's being nominated because it is an indiscriminate collection of information. The page's definition of a riot is not met by most of the pieces listed on this page. That's why either a different term (and title) should be used, or the page should be deleted.
The fact that these instances are "well known" and "often discussed" is all the more reason to discuss them with accurate language. Take a look at the Talk page, when you have a minute, and click through to the "riot" article that is used to define the term on this page. Clearly, you can see that this page's flaws go beyond imperfection and into a category that does not merit inclusion in Wikipedia without a wholesale revision of the article.Trumpetrep (talk) 13:53, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Fine, then lets improve the list to include accurate language, but this is a much-discussed, highly notable topic in classical music. "Classical music riots" re-directs to this page, btw. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:14, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Crash of military aircraft with fewer than ten deaths, including some non-notable foreign nationals, fails the standard WP:AIRCRASH criteria for an article. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Aviation-related deletion discussions. Everymorning talk 20:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Accidents of military aircraft are generally not notable.--Jetstreamer Talk 20:47, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jetstreamer: The aircraft was being used to transport civilians and not in a military capacity. 331dot (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:AIRCRASH: "Accidents involving light aircraft and military aircraft are mostly non-notable." it doesn't make any difference 331dot, it was a military aircraft flying in a militaristic environment. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:28, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The sources confirm that the crash killed two foreign ambassadors to Pakistan. Per WP:EVENTCRIT, "events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources", which is the case. Brandmeistertalk 20:53, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Are they covered widely in diverse sources? Will anyone recall this crash in a week's time? Will anything be changed as a result of this crash? This is an encyclopedia, and this article squarely fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:AIRCRASH. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:56, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    They do: Time, Reuters, CNN, NY Times, Daily Mail, Bangkok Post, RIA Novosti, etc. I also generally frown upon military accidents, but this is an exception in my opinion. Just like 1996 Croatia USAF CT-43 crash, for instance where Ron Brown and the likes died. An average person somewhere in the US or elsewhere may forget this in a week's time, but encyclopedia is not an average person. Brandmeistertalk 21:11, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    You failed to properly answer the second and third questions. Ron Brown has his own article and is thus notable per Wikipedia guidelines. No-one onboard this minor military crash has an article. WP:AIRCRASH, widely agreed, therefore suggests this shouldn't be a standalone article. Hey, it doesn't mean it can't be included somewhere else, like in a list of military accidents in Pakistan or something.... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:15, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They don't have articles because non-English-speakers are disproportionately under-represented here, not because they lack notability in the sense of the GNG. It is not self-evident (because it is not true) that anyone who is notable must already have their own article. AlexTiefling (talk) 21:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Per AIRCRASH: "the accident involved the death of a person of sufficient individual notability to have their own biography page in Wikipedia (and the biography is not solely due to them being an accident victim)," The Rambling Man (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The incident is widely reported and appears significant on the basis of current reporting. We can delete the article later if that proves not to be the case. This nomination appears to be in bad faith - the nominator is !voting against this at ITN/C on the basis that the possibly-notable victims (ambassadors from one non-English speaking country to another) cannot be notable because they do not have articles. This is an absurd position, and calling for further deletions in the same connection will merely entrench our systemic bias. I'd call on any passing admin to consider closing this nomination speedily to minimise the disruption to the ITN process, but I don't insist. AlexTiefling (talk) 21:07, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I completely refute the bad faith accusation. It fails to meet the criteria established in WP:AIRCRASH. I am not circumventing anything, I am merely running the process correctly, which means to say that an article shouldn't be given a period of grace, just to get onto the main page, just to be deleted immediately afterwards because it clearly fails to meet long-established norms required for a standalone article. If you don't like it, write the articles about the individuals killed in the crash. Otherwise, change WP:AIRCRASH. In any case, take you accusations of bad faith and keep them in a special place where only you know. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I note your objection. I would have been more convinced if you had not tried to dismiss my disagreement with you earlier as the result of my having a bad day. I still say you're wrong. And I believe you reject the accusation. You aren't doing much of a job of refuting it. AlexTiefling (talk) 21:16, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care about how convinced you are. We use guidelines etc to help. WP:AIRCRASH says "the accident involved the death of a person of sufficient individual notability to have their own biography page in Wikipedia (and the biography is not solely due to them being an accident victim)," is needed to keep an article. If you want to change AIRCRASH, please do so. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:26, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, no prejudice to another nomination after the crash's investigation. It is premature to conclude that this will not result in long-lasting coverage or significant changes in aircraft procedures/processes. The individuals here are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia pages even before this event, and the aircraft was acting as a civilian transport during this incident, so the criteria in WP:AIRCRASH and WP:NOTNEWS are met here. I wouldn't go so far as to say this nomination was made in bad faith - there are some legitimate questions here. Although it is disrupting to an otherwise postable event. Mamyles (talk) 21:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    If you're asserting the individuals in question should have their own articles, can you demonstrate why? Can you create these articles? If you do, and they meet WP:N, no problems and this AFD goes away. Obviously. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:16, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The notability of ambassadors was discussed here and summarized into this essay.
In a nutshell, any ambassador or head of mission is considered to satisfy notability guidelines if there is a corresponding relations article between the two countries. That is true for all four ambassadors involved: Norway–Pakistan relations, Pakistan–Philippines relations, Pakistan–Poland relations, and Netherlands–Pakistan relations. Mamyles (talk) 21:28, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In a nutshell, and per the essay you're quoting: surely you can write an article about at least one of the dead ambassadors? We have a deal. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:32, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In another nutshell, the wording of the Wikipedia guideline (AIRCRASH): "the accident involved the death of a person of sufficient individual notability to have their own biography page in Wikipedia (and the biography is not solely due to them being an accident victim)" The Rambling Man (talk) 21:35, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is a work in progress. That an article does not yet exist does not indicate an individual is not notable: that must be determined by the presence of reliable sources. As an aside, WP:AIRCRASH is an essay and not a guideline, but I agree that its criteria are reasonable. Mamyles (talk) 21:44, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A crash involving notable foreign government officials is notable. Many ambassadors have articles which suggests that being an ambassador merits an article, even if the ones in this crash don't yet have them(likely due to systemic bias issues, as AlexT suggests). 331dot (talk) 21:23, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:AIRCRASH: "the accident involved the death of a person of sufficient individual notability to have their own biography page in Wikipedia (and the biography is not solely due to them being an accident victim)," please show me the articles. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I will simply note that AIRCRASH states "This page provides advice on article content. It contains the opinions of one or more WikiProjects regarding the content of articles within their area of interest. This advice is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline". 331dot (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed. And all I've asked, many times, is for one you supporters to supply evidence that one of the individuals onboard is actually notable per WP:N. They were flying somewhere to open a ski-lift. We're really pushing the boundaries here if we think a handful of minor-minor foreigners, none of whom have Wikipedia articles per WP:N, in a minor crash in a military aircraft in Pakistan is worth an article. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:41, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Leif Holger Larsen has an article now, which seems to be what TRM has asked for. So does that mean this AFD can "go away" as he has stated in this discussion? Everymorning talk 21:39, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    It certainly does. I'm grateful to you for doing it, unlike the bad faith commentators above, all of whom could take a leaf out of your book and try to improve the encyclopaedia. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:43, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, but I didn't create the article, I just stumbled upon it when Googling Larsen. Everymorning talk 21:46, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I find 331dot's argument compelling: that being an ambassador merits an article, even if the ones in this crash don't yet have them (emphasis added). This would meet the WP:AIRCRASH criterion - note that the wording "the accident involved the death of a person of sufficient individual notability to have their own biography page in Wikipedia" does not require that the individual in question actually has their own biography page right now, merely that they should be of sufficient notability to merit one. The determining factor here is whether they are notable enough for a biography, not that a biography should exist. Prioryman (talk) 21:41, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    That is, of course, nonsense. That an ambassador merits an article per se is nonsense. But thankfully it's a moot point as one of the Norwegians is now up in lights so job done. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:45, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawn now a "notable" individual killed in the crash has an article. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:56, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: WP:AIRCRASH doesn't apply to stand-alone crash articles like this one. As it says:

This essay includes generally accepted criteria for when to add mention of aircraft accidents to articles about airports, airlines and aircraft type articles.

By consensus this should not be used to determine whether a stand-alone article should exist or not. If an accident or incident meets the criteria for inclusion in an airport, airline or aircraft article it may also be notable enough for a stand-alone article, if it also meets the criteria provided by the general notability guideline, a notability of events guideline and a guide on the use of news reports.

"Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting.

- Ahunt (talk) 21:58, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails GNG. With all those links in the "Reference" section, it looks impressively sourced at first, but when you click on the links to the sources, it soon becomes apparent that only one of them actually mentions this "Parthenon Day", and it's the one that belongs to an organization promoting it. The rest of them are sources about the Parthenon or the larger dispute between the UK and Greece over the Elgin Marbles that don't mention this event. Google searches also confirm, as searches for "Parthenon Day" bring up things like these [23] [24] from regular Google, this [25] from Google News, and these [26] [27] [28] from Google Books.

  • Delete No evidence that the "day" is much of a thing, and the information consists of a single web page. I don't doubt that there was activity that day, but it doesn't seem to have gained great attention. The plight of the Elgin Marbles and the request for their return is well known and the article Elgin Marbles covers that sufficiently. A link to this "day" could be added there, but probably is not really needed. LaMona (talk) 22:17, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This particular term appears to be the invention of one author and was not widely used. However, it is probably be wise to mention the 1997 official request in the marbles' article, which is not done at current. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:26, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tiny society, no evidence at all that this may even approach notability. No independent sources (only source is homepage). Does not meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG. Randykitty (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment That AfD was closed "no consensus" with very little participation. This society has (according to their own website) 115 members. There are no sources. Pray tell me why this is notable and why we should have articles on all these tiny societies. --Randykitty (talk) 17:44, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I can certainly live with a redirect. As for the other comments, I gingerly suggest that being a member of a band is not the same thing as being a member of a society, the difference seems obvious to me. And I don't really know of any scientific society that "coordinates research". All that such societies do is organize meetings where members exchange ideas and report on their work and, sometimes, publish a newsletter of scientific journal. --Randykitty (talk) 10:32, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • What do you think meetings and idea exchange are for? If you think they are for idle curiosity, while I think they are for coordinating the research. "Coordinating" does not necessarily mean rigid centralized planning. Also, it seems that you did not read the article you voted for deletion: "working groups have been formed" is definitely coordination in my limited understanding of English language. So is publishing overviews, roadmaps etc. BTW, you surely noticed that I am not voting for a separate page; I am voting against deletion. I do agree that all these activities are routine, and I don't see WP:GNG satisfied. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Society meetings are absolutely not for "coordinating research". You go to a scientific meeting to keep informed about the state of your field and what is currently being done. "Working groups" is just more of the same, but on a more focussed subject. That's not "coordinating", unless you really have a definition of coordinating that is much larger than the rest of humanity has... Believe me, I have participated in many scientific meetings (including of "working groups") and quite a few meetings designed to coordinate research (in the sense of hammering out collaborative projects or deciding which projects should get funded or not) and those are very different kinds of meetings. --Randykitty (talk) 19:50, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I admit that "research coordination" may have a technical meaning I am not aware of. Still, the AORS does carry out some useful activities. Or not? Ca it be I am conflating the terms 'coordination' and 'collaboration'? "Working groups": is this collaboration ? In general, you start making me wonder whether the scientific societies are of any use at all? Say, what does ACM do that AORS does not (even in smaller scale)? What are the criteria to look for when judging scientific societies besides WP:GNG? Staszek Lem (talk) 21:08, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The criteria are WP:ORG and WP:GNG. "Useful" or "worthy" has nothing to do with it. I haven't looked, but I'd be amazed if there are no sources on the Association for Computing Machinery. Yes, in principle the types of activities that the two societies engage in are similar, but as I said, that has nothing to do with notability. And working groups in such societies are not even "collaboration". Collaboration is if you and I decide to jointly carry out a research project, or if you provide help with some aspects of my project or the other way around. Scientific societies (and working groups) really are all about information exchange. Some of the largest societies may also have the means and cloud to lobby government agencies and some even do, but if they do, that would with certainty result in coverage in reliable sources. --Randykitty (talk) 21:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Exactly for the reasons given by David Eppstein in the previous debate, EURO and IFORS are umbrella for independent national societies in an important academic field, namely:
"Each of these is recognized by the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (the umbrella international organization for this discipline) as the major national society for their country — see the IFORS list of national societies [29] (and in the case of Italy, see the Wikipedia article for the mismatch between what IFORS calls the society and what we call it — it's the same society under a different name). I don't want to suggest that any academic society that calls itself a national-level society is notable, but I think the ones in major disciplines (e.g. the topic of entire university departments) that are internationally recognized by their peer societies as the main society for their country are notable. As for the invocations of WP:BRANCH above: I think it would be a mistake to merge these into the "parent" organization. They are not branches of IFORS (the way AEORS seems to be). They are independent societies that happen to hold memberships in IFORS, in the same way that people and corporations might happen to hold memberships in these societies. In particular, I think that recognition by IFORS should count towards notability as being independent of the subject, because these societies are separate entities rather than being part of IFORS. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:16, 24 February 2015 (UTC)"[reply]
Bfortz (talk) 07:23, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment At this point, the AEORS article contains a list of its members (kind of going against the spirit -or even the letter- of WP:NOTADIRECTORY). Expanding that list with a one-line description of each society's particulars would augment the AEORS article. Just look at the different articles on the national societies, they are basically identical, repeating the same information, just changing a date here and there and the organization's name. Much better to condense that into a list in the AEORS article. Or, if you invoke BRANCH, move all of it to the IFORS article. --Randykitty (talk) 10:32, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment So do you feel that a society from Liechtenstein only needs two members to be notable? And it would be really weird if a learned society would not have members that are professors and such. Even if each and every one of those professors would be notable, that still would not make the society notable. All you are showing is that the Italian society is as lacking in notability as the Austrian one. (And please note that notability in the WP sense has nothing to do with "worthy", "deserving", or "important"). --Randykitty (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to AEOR. I still believe that national-level organizations for major academic disciplines such as this one should be notable, but in this case I can't find any sources giving enough nontrivial detail about the organization and its history to support an article. It doesn't appear to be in the Wiley Encyclopedia (as many of its sister organizations are) and even its own web site doesn't have much. We can source its membership in IFORS to the IFORS web site, but that's only a directory listing and doesn't tell us much about how the society operates. With no sources, what can we use to build a properly-sourced article? —David Eppstein (talk) 23:28, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article has been expanded, but still fails to assert notability. "...the school had difficulty finding qualified German teachers, so the possibility that the school would have to cancel its German classes existed." is not encyclopedic content. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:04, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep After getting some TLC, the article looks better. I still question the encyclopedic value of it, but it is now more than a 3 line article about a school that could not find a German teacher. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 13:08, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Please see the discussion Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Articles_on_Schools_exempt_from_WP:A7 which is challenging the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools Common outcome that presumes notability for all senior high schools/sixth form schools and schools with senior high/sixth form components. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming that the status quo does not change, Keep due to the common outcome of keeping senior high schools/schools with senior high components. Also keep because even though the content of the book Womanismus als Methode der Interpretation deutscher literarischer Texte (a quotation of an English-language report embedded within a German book, of a person who interviewed the principal of the British School) is referring to the German classes, the fact that the book and the reporter it quotes gave attention to the school adds to its notability. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not an appropriate rationale at WP:AFD, it ensures that the status-quo is kept, regardless of how it was achieved. No where is there a consensus that "notability is presumed", and "we have not deleted them in the past" does not prove this. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 19:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps in theory each article should be judged in its own merits, but precedent is a reality. WP:OTHERSTUFF explicitly says that one can compare this article to other articles in certain cases to say "this article did it, so this should too" - for example, if a similar article survived an AFD. If "commonoutcomes" wasn't an appropriate rationale for AFD there would be no point to its existence. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:50, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Though worded merely as coon outcomes, this is actually one of the most stable guidelines we have--there have been no exceptions in at least the last 5 years, except for schools with a dubious physical existence--very few guidelines can claim as much practical consensus. The reason for not deleting articles on secondary schools is that most of them -- and this an example, can be shown to be notable with sufficient work. It's also part of a very important compromise. The other half of the compromise was not normally including articles on primary and intermediate schools. When I joined in 2006, we did not have this compromise, and the result was that dozens of articles on both appeared at AfD every day. The result depended on the relative energy of the two sides to the discussion. was possible to delete any non-famous school by saying the references were trivial; it was possible to keep almost any school by looking hard enough and saying the references were not trivial. As i showed at the time, the overall results was not better than random. This was a ridiculous misuse of the time of many good editors on both sides of the discussion. Since then, they've been out of the list of AfDs, and we are no worse off overall. I point out that a further reason for keeping these is that they are good articles for beginners, and in particular good projects for secondary school classes--we need to attract new people , especially at the age group, for they may stay with us for many years.

  • Delete - according to WP:NSCHOOL, secondary schools are NOT inherently notability. Notability must be proven according to WP:ORG or WP:GNG and I don't see any such proof.--Rpclod (talk) 23:13, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Secondary schools are not automatically notable, but there is a strong working consensus that they are presumed to be notable. As I said in another venue, two hours spent in a library in Lagos would almost certainly lead to the discovery of many new sources for this article. But what we have now is sufficient. As DGG notes, we have here an informal "grand compromise" regarding redirecting most articles about elementary schools (except those of historic or architectural significance) and keeping almost all articles about secondary schools, except cases of fraud and home schools. And it works. Trying to upset the apple cart is not in the best interests of the encyclopedia. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:57, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, informal grand compromises that contradict the actual written guidelines? If the apples are rotten, the cart should be upset.--Rpclod (talk) 12:40, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By length of operation (at least 11 years) and number of notable artists signed (currently 7 with articles, and most certainly not a walled garden as often seen with truly non-notable labels) this label is clearly also "one of the more important indie labels" as defined by WP:MUSICBIO #5. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:51, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Prodded for WP:GNG and WP:NSONG with no references and no claim of notability. Prod removed with the comment, "this is definitely relevant, and the capitalization is correct per the original usage. this is one of the first "memes" -- thus its historical relevance.

  • Weak keep. I know this song exists, and the user who removed the prod was correct, this was one of the first "memes", in the middle 1990s, before most of the people who use "memes" were even born. However, the only references I can supply are to the magazine itself. I had the actual song on an AP coverdisk myself from the middle 1990s to the middle 2000s, but I fear I have since thrown it away. I might still have the actual file saved on my computer (I transferred the entire hard disk of my A4000 to a modern Linux PC before the A4000 died), but I'm not at all certain about it.

Non-notable boxing promoter. Recently created addition to brother and father articles all of which suffer from the same problem.

  • Comment I am seriously considering adding Kalle Sauerland (brother) and Wilfried Sauerland (father) to this debate but that depends on initial response to this one. There is a single reasonable source in the Kalle Sauerland article but that is about Wilfried Sauerland which does not have that reference in the article.Peter Rehse (talk) 11:02, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If any of these three are notable, it's Wilfried. There is at least one significant source on him (reliability unknown) and he was inducted into the IBHOF. Normally we ignore martial arts halls of fame, but this is far more significant and independent than most. Its own article may be of uncertain WP notability, but many in the boxing community consider it significant.

Keep but Improve the subject is notable and interesting Chunlinc (talk) 16:31, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chunlinc, I'd like you welcome you to Wikipedia. I would also like to recommend some pages you should become familiar with. The general notability guidelines can be found at WP:GNG, a description of what makes a source reliable is at WP:RS, and a list of arguments to avoid at deletion discussions can be found at WP:ATA. Wikipedia notability requires significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Merely liking something or claiming it's interesting or notable is not sufficient for an article to be deemed notable--it must have the necessary independent coverage. Papaursa (talk) 18:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep on Wilfried, Delete Nisse and Kalle I don't see the significant coverage required to show the first two are notable. Their coverage seems to be passing mentions and routine sports coverage with independence sometimes also being an issue. I think Wilfried is close, so I'm going with keep.

Terms like 'Francophone Africa' or 'Lusophone Africa' are widely used by many reliable sources, but the entire concept behind "Latin Africa" seems to be original research. "Romance-speaking Africa" returns exactly 49 results on Google, mostly from wikipedia mirrors, and Latin Africa is only ever used to mean the ancient Roman-ruled north Africa. The use of the term to refer to contemporary African countries where a Romance language is official seems to be a creation of this article. eh bien mon prince (talk) 21:57, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I updated all the links, so that none point back to the property. I do agree that it should be under The Holland Hotel and am trying to fix it. Nvanwinden (talk) 17:00, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Adding The Holland Hotel, duplicate article created at proper address. Should this AFD result in a keep, the new article should be deleted to make way for a move of the original article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So @WikiDan61:, should I delete The Holland Hotel, or can we delete The holland hotel? Nvanwinden (talk) 17:06, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nvanwinden: The article should exist at The Holland Hotel, but since you created The holland hotel first, that is technically the article we should keep. To manage this, The Holland Hotel would be deleted and The holland hotel would be moved to the proper title. But that's a fair amount of work for an article that may be deleted. I'll leave it to an admin to decide whether the title mixup should be fixed now, or wait until the AFD has run its course. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:54, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Deletion of The holland hotel redlinks the AFD heading and that could cause confusion. On reflection, it is best to leave things as they are and sort them after the AFD has been closed. Just Chilling (talk) 23:32, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Velella: @Joseph2302:My argument for KEEP is as follows. The Holland Hotel was designed by the architect, Henry Trost of Trost and Trost who was internationally renown for his work all over the southwest in the late 1800s and early 1900s. He is believed to be one of the most significant architects of his time in the region. [1] The design for the Wikipedia page was taken from several notable nearby Trost and Trost hotels, such as El Paisano Hotel or the Gadsden Hotel.

The Holland Hotel is instrumental in anchoring the town of Alpine and is even mentioned on the Alpine, Texas Wikipedia page. It is a Texas Historic Landmark, adding to its "notability".

Of interest to believers in the paranormal, several ghost investigations have been done and the Holland Hotel has been featured on several TV shows, which I am sure another user would be able to add, however the ghost sightings are founded and a paranormal study from Austin, Texas linked in the footnotes.

  • Keep. I was surprised see this had been nominated as an AfD. The organisation is well known in the UK (or at the very least amongst educators, managers and leaders). They have significant involvement with accrediting centres and courses around management and leadership in the UK. There seem to be lots of findings of surveys run by ILM which have been picked up by the media. Given these factors, I had expected there might a lot more coverage of the organisation itself. There are lots of secondary sources, but I haven't managed to find a good review by an independent journalist, which the article would really benefit from. I also recognise that there are aspects of the text that appear to be written with a promotional tone but that can be fixed. I find that in terms of notability the subject of the article meets WP:ORG. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:19, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I looked in a few Irish newspapers that are either in Irish or include some info in the Irish language, and found zero. The two links on the page for this in Gaeilge (Irish) are both dead. I don't see a way to save this one, unless someone has access to Irish magazines that could cover the show.

  • Weak Keep. The Irish Independent covered it precisely once, [46]. It was briefly discussed in a book on the internet in Ireland: [47], an Irish language website covered it [48] and the Galway Advertiser had about a para on it [49]. All in all, that would seem to barely meet WP:GNG but the show sounds just awful. Sometimes I don't see why WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT isn't an acceptable argument at AfD. This is one of those times.

A commercial product, claiming the notability of the generic device, a magnetic particle clutch.

Even the name here is dubious. Does "IP" stand for the maker's name, IP weatherproofing ("IP ratings" are a standard industry term) or for the claimed "Incapsulated Powder" (sic).

WP can use better articles on mechanical components like this, and really needs work on Magnetic particle clutch. However unsourced COI articles on one maker's narrow product range aren't the way to go forwards. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The IP in the name refers to the fact that it is Incapsulated, it is written like this and not like Encapsulated to also point out the fact that it has a high IP rating, still learning how Wikipedia works and i am reticent with editing someone's article but i am trying my best to learn. I decided to write an article about a patented method to build magnetic couplings which is referred to by the patent owner as IP magnetic coupling. If it is decided that this page should be deleted i will be merging some of the information presented here to the magnetic coupling general page. Also this has nothing to do with the magnetic particle clutch this is purely magnetic while that one is electromagnetic. SoreaAlex (talk) 09:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge/Redirect to Diocese of the Holy Cross. That appears to be a schismatic group of Anglican churches, which has left andother Anglican body over doctrinal matters. It has 22 churches and probably qualifies to be kept as a denomination(albeit a very small one) . The article is about a local association within that denomination. We regularly delete articles on local churches. I do not see why a local association (probably essentially a ministers' fraternal) should be treated differently.

  • Delete per my earlier prod which was removed by a since-banned editor. Darke was not "martyred"; he was a bystander accidentally killed by assassins looking for someone else. There are very occasional precedents for biographies of people known only for their deaths (Rachel Corrie, Emmett Till, Alice Ayres, H. Jones), but those are invariably in circumstances where the death prompted a significant public reaction to the extent the the death itself becomes the "well-documented historic event" required by Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Crime victims and perpetrators. This pseudo-article manages to get even the most basic facts such as his nationality wrong (he was a Brit who happened to be working in Guyana, not Guyanese), and does not indicate in any way how or why his murder was any more notable than anyone else's. Without "persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role" this is a clear violation of WP:VICTIM. – iridescent 08:26, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In any case it thus seems he'll play for a team in a fully professional league next season, very likely in Belgium. But that's guessing for now. Pelotastalk|contribs 10:16, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect Only a few concerts have been held so far on this tour and the impact of them is not mentioned at all. Most of the article is about the promotions for the concert itself the rest being a set list and concert dates. This tour may become relevant in the future but for now it is not and there is no way to speculate on its impact at this point. At this point the only thing this page is doing is promoting the concerts, it is not saying why they are important because for the most part they haven't been held yet. Also it lacks sources for most of that information as well. Peachywink (talk) 20:54, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I disagree with it being deleted. The tour has only just started but as seen by their last world tour, Big Bang Alive Galaxy Tour 2012, the tour is likely to attract attention from world press and other relevant information will surely be added as more shows are completed. It seems useless to delete the page now and re-add it later. In comparison, Taylor Swift's 1989 World Tour has not even commenced yet and it contains only a tour schedule, and other basic background information, yet it is not seen as being needed to be deleted. --EnderAtreides117 (talk) 03:10, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I moved your comment down to where it normally would go, anyways all because another page has something or exist doesn't mean it should. There are not enough editors to patrol the whole of Wikipedia at this time. If the article is not classified as good on the quality scale then its not usable as an example for what to do. Personally I don't think she needs that page either yet, Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and encyclopedias do not predict the future. However I concede the point that it's likely to become relevant in the future so will now lean more towards this page getting blanked for now and redirected.Peachywink (talk) 05:42, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP I agree with EnderAtreides117 comments. The tour has just started. There will be more content once it gets rolling.Mikepellerintalk 03:12, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NTOUR and the old crystal ball. Mikepellerin's comment seems to be based on the mistaken idea that a tour is notable because it happened, and because this party happened it should be wholly notable. That's not the case. Tours are notable if they generate reliable, in-depth coverage in secondary sources--coverage meaning coverage of the tour. That's not happening here. Drmies (talk) 17:53, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Most of the article is speculative and there isn't any in-depth coverage of the tour. It may become more notable later on, so I suggest the page be userfied. Random86 (talk) 20:56, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Way too soon for this article to exist. Also, seconding the third, fourth and fifth sentence from Drmies, and Random86. Tibbydibby (talk) 20:30, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was speedy delete as hoax. Vagodino, unless you can pull up something that would show that he exists I have to assume that this is a hoax given the arguments below and the Google search I performed, which did not bring up any evidence of this person's existence as an athlete.

  • Speedy delete via G3 as a blatant WP:HOAX. The person allegedly played for the "Binghamton double A Mets" in the Eastern League, according to "source #6" in 1981, but the Binghamton Mets didn't exist until 1992. The baseball-reference player page, says "Found 0 hits for your search." – Muboshgu (talk) 00:31, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete as hoax. Also note that the page creator is Vagodino (talk · contribs). Mellowed Fillmore (talk) 04:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Binghamton Mets were founded in 1962 and have been based in Binghamton since. When Vincent played for the organization, they were a "double a" affiliate. They are and have been a "double A" affiliate of the NY Mets since 1987. Although they weren't quite part of the NY Mets (Eastern Division)in 1981, I'd like to think of the team as the NY Mets all the way through.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vagodino (talkcontribs) 05:14, 8 May 2015‎
