FMW 4th Anniversary Show

FMW 4th Anniversary Show (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Nominated for failing our notability guidelines, WP:GNG and WP:SPORTCRIT. Sources are primary. I had originally tied this to another AfD with the same acronym but it was for a different wrestling organization and hence I have struck that. The "parent" article went through AfD and consensus was delete. [[1]]. I would also like to include:

FMW 5th Anniversary Show (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Otr500 said it best, at that AfD, "Does not meet WP:GNG per nominator. The issues: This article has ZERO references towards notability. There are 26 references listed, from two different sources, that are primary. The 19 references from the source "Cagematch" do not contain any mention of the subject that I saw but do reference "Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling" or the names of individual "team members". I read over half way through the FMW history2 reference before finding passing mention of the subject. While multiple primary reliable sources may be used to support content, an article relying on one source does not advance claims of notability. This becomes more of a problem when the source of the references are close to, or invested in, the subject. This is compounded exponentially when the subject involves a WP:BLP or information about living persons. The lead there states, "Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page.", with the added, "This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article, and to material about living persons in other articles and on other pages, including talk pages.". The policy Wikipedia:No original research deals with Primary, secondary and tertiary sources stating among other things "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.". How is notability established? 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. This will also ensure compliance with the policies on no original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, remembering: If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. WP:ENT and WP:NSPORT are guidelines. This page in a nutshell on both guidelines state: "...is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.", so the "subject" fails both of these guidelines, especially by not complying with more than one relevant policy. There is one more "issue" I ran across. Of the 26 references, some of them duplicates, the article is written from the single FMWHistory2 source because all the others generally just show matches with individual names (not including the subject) so there appears to be a lot of synthesis. All of this leads me to consider that there is serious instances of citation overkill to falsely present notability." Ifnord (talk) 23:37, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I found it non-notable. It was the biggest annual event of FMW and there is no specific reason to find it non-notable. It was the most significant event in the company's history and the sources have indicated it. If you still want to delete it after adding enough sources and working very hard then I shall restrain myself from wasting time in working hard to create articles in Wikipedia.--Mark Linton (talk) 04:06, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"no specific reason to find it non-notable" Really? How about right now it doesn't seem to have coverage in reliable sources, which is the only form of notability wikipedia cares about.★Trekker (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Such people who may want to get detailed information on the event which they may be unable to get on other websites will be convenient in getting information on FMW's flagship event at Wikipedia. A free encyclopedia, as it claims, must provide information on FMW's biggest yearly event. Maybe puroresu fans are looking for such information and they may find it helpful. This information is definitely not false or wrong. Sources provided in the article are accurate, not only in the FMW 4th Anniversary Show but also in FMW 5th Anniversary Show, FMW 6th Anniversary Show, FMW 7th Anniversary Show, FMW 8th Anniversary Show, FMW 9th Anniversary Show, FMW 10th Anniversary Show, FMW 11th Anniversary Show, and FMW 12th Anniversary Show. The information in these articles may be helpful for readers who want to read and research on these below mentioned articles. Thanks. --Mark Linton (talk) 04:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am removing the deletion tag from these articles because I don't find them non-notable. If you still want to delete then you are admins and you have authority to do it. I cannot do anything about it and I don't need to give any explanation on it. I have already worked very hard and provided enough sources, which are true. If you will encourage me to expand these articles by removing "deletion tag" then I will provide more information and I think sources are enough to give information. If you do have any solid and suitable answer to my claims then do reply me on my talk page instead of deleting these articles and if you wanted to place "deletion tag" then you could have done it when I created these articles. Now, I can only request you, not to delete them after a lot of hard work and after a very long time. Thanks.--Mark Linton (talk) 04:11, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia does not have to advertise or provide information on any event that is not notable, please see WP:IINFO. For guidelines on notability, please see WP:GNG. You have been creating large numbers of articles, either you're a big fan or a paid promoter of the event. Your zeal is commendable but this topic does not deserve articles in an encyclopedia. Additionally, do not remove any notices on pages nominated for deletion until the AfD is settled. Ifnord (talk) 04:17, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am not expanding or further contributing to these articles because I am damn sure that you are going to delete them anyway, so there is no use of working hard.--Mark Linton (talk) 04:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would also encourage you to read the page regarding AfD so you can understand the process. I have reformatted your input here to make it more readable. Ifnord (talk) 04:23, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The only think I can see on that link which you mentioned is "Bad title" and nothing else.--Mark Linton (talk) 04:25, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My friend, I have been creating professional wrestling articles and contributing to them for the past one decade. You can check my history since fall 2007 and I am not new to creating and editing articles but it seems that my hardwork has not been paid off. I am not new to Wikipedia. I know how to create and edit articles and I have edited these FMW Anniversary Show articles in the same way as other professional wrestling events are covered in Wikipedia. There were other references of blogspot and wordpress as well but I did not enter them because you would not have considered them anyway. If you still want me to add them as references to the Anniversary Shows then I will add sources of blogspot and wordpress as well.--Mark Linton (talk) 04:35, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Blogs aren't considered valid sources. Again, your zeal is commendable. But, please, see WP:GNG for guidelines on notability. WP:WHYN explains why those policies exist and WP:RELIABLE explains what valid sources are.Ifnord (talk) 04:39, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I know blogs are not valid sources that is why I did not added them. I have added their video links of YouTube which you may find useful to find detailed description of the FMW events. FMW was a popular company in Japan. It definitely was not on the calliber of New Japan or All Japan but had its own fanbase and a strong following and a lot of notability in the world. What made Hayabusa so famous despite having never worked for NJPW and AJPW. It was his time in FMW where he wrestled industry's greats and made a name for himself as one of the world's most popular wrestlers and his moves are still duplicated and adopted by many famous North American wrestlers. Have a look at Hardcore Holly, whose move Falcon Arrow was initially created by Hayabusa and it is so ironical that "falcon" is the English translation of the Japanese word "Hayabusa" and Falcon Arrow was named after Hayabusa's gimmick. Another finishing move was Phoenix Splash, which is also used by many famous North American wrestlers and was created and innovated by "Hayabusa".--Mark Linton (talk) 04:52, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I am concerned about WP:GNG, I have read the statement "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." YouTube links of these FMW events, which I have listed in the external links of these articles and your main article's external links are reliable sources which are obviously independent of the subject and have coverage of the entire events. Ifnord, you can check the external links of these mentioned FMW Anniversary Show articles and you can check the videos mentioned in the external links and visit them. The YouTube links of these articles definitely meet Wikipedia's GNG policy.--Mark Linton (talk) 04:57, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, on your WP:GNG policy which you have mentioned, there is a statement ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Now I don't need to give any more significant coverages and sources rather than the YouTube links of these FMW events. Do not forget that FMW was the pioneer of deathmatch wrestling in Japan, paving the way for Big Japan, IWA Japan, W*ING, FREEDOMS and others etc. They were not meeting the standard of New Japan or All Japan but they have their own fanbase and their own popularity. Video sources of YouTube are more than enough because YouTube is considered to be the most popular and most authentic online video streaming website on the Internet today.--Mark Linton (talk) 05:01, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I will further contribute and expand these articles only after I get a response from you, Ifnord because there is no use of working hard on an article which I fear may be deleted by admins despite being provided many sources of notability.--Mark Linton (talk) 08:08, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you quite understand what independent means as a source. A YouTube video could be considered a reliable source... But only an independent source if it's a reliable publication talking about the subject. A video of the subject is in no way an independent source. It's actually very specific on this on WP:GNG. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 13:14, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - These are definitely large events that I do believe would meet WP:GNG the issue is that these are going to be mostly Japanese sources that will support it. FMW doesnt have the same international following as a NJPW does. I am not familiar enough with the language to search or recognize a GNG from not in Japanese. Perhaps someone who is more familiar can. - GalatzTalk 14:59, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to nom - @Ifnord: Please strike out your original comment, as it is misleading to readers. You stated The "parent" article went through AfD and consensus was delete however Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling and FMW Anniversary Show are the parent articles. The AfD you mentioned is for Funk Masters of Wrestling, which was a tag team unrelated to this topic. I suggest you be careful when make such claims. - GalatzTalk 15:04, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Valid point, will do. Ifnord (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Considering these are Japanese events, maybe it would be good if someone who knows locate Japanese sources could help and try to find some.★Trekker (talk) 16:34, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural close - inappropriate bundling of nominations - According to the articles, attendances varied wildly between 4,000 and over 50,000 so it is completely unreasonable to bundle the shows together into one AFD. None of the WP:BUNDLE criteria are met. Renominate individual shows if necessary. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 17:16, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. The number of viewers of an event or pay-per-view is immaterial if it remains non-notable. A one-time event of no notability will get less attention over time, not more. See WP:SUSTAINED. Just because a football game has 50,000 people watching, would it pass the notability criteria for the attendance alone? No. Ifnord (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with that assessment. It's hard to believe that these articles are of the same noteworthy enough. Likely a lot of Japanese sources live out there, so, under these terms, if we could prove one of the articles pass WP:GNG then all of these articles should be passed as keep For that end, PWMania make a big deal out of old FMW shows Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 20:26, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm making no !vote or comment on their actual notability. But such a drastic variation in attendance indicates that notability levels are guaranteed to be significantly different from one event to another. Thus they should absolutely not be bundled at AFD. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 20:35, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Keep I know we're treading on WP:MUSTBESOURCES, but there must be sources! FMW was a major promotion in the 1990s and the anniversary shows are always a big deal. I would recommend closing these nominations and tagging the articles to give us time to fix this up. If there are no improvements then these should be renominated separately.LM2000 (talk) 10:03, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the attendance alone makes it somewhat notable. The sourcing needs improved but that's an argument for improvement, not deletion. McPhail (talk) 12:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, @LM2000, I agree with you to keep these articles and these articles shall be improved instead of being deleted. I have provided enough sources in this article and these sources are definitely not false. The details including venue, date and attendance records are almost similar in all these websites aka Pro Wrestling History, Cagematch and Wrestlingdata, so there is no use of considering it "vandalism", "non-notable" or "false". We cannot improve the sources and these articles until and unless the "deletion tag" is present because there is no use of working hard on them if these are going to get deleted, so we recommend to keep these articles.--Mark Linton (talk) 12:50, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If an article gets deleted and you think you could have sourced and improved it with more time, you can always ask the deleting admin to "userfy" the article, which means transplanting the deleted material to your own userspace where it can be worked on and potentially restored to mainspace. The admin is within their rights to refuse, of course. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 22:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The nom has changed his original criteria to criteria which is once again misleading. Ifnord is now using WP:SPORTCRIT which is inaccurate as this is not a sport. - GalatzTalk 04:13, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge all individual articles into main FMW Anniversary Show article (including 1–3, which were left out of this AfD). Some of these individual shows may be notable, but not a single person who has commented so far has proven it (WP:MUSTBESOURCES). I've found a few trivial mentions: PWInsider and SLAM Wrestling, but certainly nothing that could be called significant coverage. Admittedly, I cannot read Japanese, so I'm aware that my research is limited. With that in mind, I propose merging all the individual events into the parent article so that the information is not lost, and so they can be spun back out into individual articles if/when proper sourcing is found. Nikki311 23:19, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, Keep Many people have tried to consider it a non-notable event but if you try to search further on the Internet, you will find more reliable sources. The primary source of FMW's own website has already provided detailed information on these events and multiple sources on the Internet can provide you information regarding these events. They were very notable significant events in professional wrestling history. Are you going to contact Atsushi Onita and people involved in these events? Many of the primary people involved like Eiji Ezaki, Shoichi Arai and Kodo Fuyuki are dead, so who are you going to ask?--Mark Linton (talk) 11:37, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can this source of a newspaper publication Tokyo Sports be useful to you as you were asking for "reliable sources" in newspapers, publications etc. I have found one and it is a Japanese source. You were looking for reliable Japanese sources of newspapers and publications and I have found one to prove its notability. I don't think you shall consider this source unreliable. I have added the source in FMW 4th Anniversary Show and FMW 5th Anniversary Show.--Mark Linton (talk) 13:14, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can't vote twice. I've struck out your second vote. Thanks. Nikki311 00:29, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Nomination is pointless as it has been pointed out. There are reliable sources including FMW's own site as it has been pointed out. Beating a dead horse repeating what has been said over and over. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 20:47, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • FMW's own site is a primary source and does not prove notability. Nikki311 00:29, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this event was not popular then your debate and deletion process has made it popular. This is a significant event and many sources have been given. OK, FMW is the primary source so it is not reliable, so a Tokyo Sports may be reliable to you which is in Japanese and is a newspaper publication. Internet coverage was not so common back in the 1990s as it is today, so it is difficult to find newspaper publications of the 1990s on the net today. I have tried to search Weekly Pro Wrestling on the Internet but Google has not given me any archives of the newspaper but the newspaper or magazine whatever it is, has definitely existed. FMW definitely existed and these events were significant and popular in FMW history. Kindly remove the deletion tag.--Mark Linton (talk) 13:31, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Blatently obvious this is a major notable event. Probably even more RS sources available in Japanese. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:05, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is no room for argument, Nikki311, since this event is a major notable event and if you want to add reliable sources then you can search on the Internet and if you browse in detail then you will find more and more sources. The FMW Anniversary Show was a very popular professional wrestling event of its era. I was planning on contributing and expanding to these articles but due to the fear of deletion tag, I have stepped back. If you encourage me and assure me that the article will not be deleted then I will consider editing it.--Mark Linton (talk) 12:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have commented above that the criteria for nomination above was flawed which the nominator fixed and gave additional false criteria, utilizing WP:SPORTCRIT which does not apply here. Right on that page it states clearly Any athletic entertainment event where the results are at least partially predetermined or scripted is not covered by this page. For participants in such events (e.g. Professional wrestling), see WP:ENTERTAINER.
Additionally as mentioned about I do not believe WP:BUNDLE criteria is met. There are 4 criteria that need to be met. The articles are clearly not a hoax, spam or manufactured products, therefore in order to qualify they need to be a "group of articles with identical content but with slightly different titles." They certainly dont have identical content and FMW 11th Anniversary Show is under 5,000 bytes and FMW 4th Anniversary Show is over 20,000 bytes. Clearly they don't have identical content.
Therefore the AfD should be procedurally closed and Ifnord should be warned to be more careful when nominating articles in the future, as misleading criteria and incorrect bundling can skew the results. - GalatzTalk 13:05, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, now, should I remove the deletion tag or will you remove it? And if the AFD is closed then should I continue improving the FMW Anniversary Show articles?--Mark Linton (talk) 17:34, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, only the closing admin should. - GalatzTalk 17:38, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Who is the closing admin? Just close it, dear, so I may carry on with these articles.--Mark Linton (talk) 19:13, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion in order to understand how the process works. - GalatzTalk 19:35, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very tragic, but non notable as a military accident with no notable passengers, actions, victims, consequences of effects on safety or aircraft operations WP:NOTNEWS, WP:GNG, sad, but the article has no place in wikipedia, which is not a repository of every bump and scrape that occurs in aviation! Petebutt (talk) 19:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well I found it significant because this particular crash was the deadliest one, out of hundreds, to occur in the course of the Iraq War. It was also the incident that made January 26th, 2005 the deadliest day for coalition forces in eight years of fighting. Not to mention, the costliest accident in the history of this particular airframe. Although I do agree there is nothing really encyclopedic that transpired as a result of the crash and media coverage was slim, the accident, I think, holds a particular importance in the history of the Iraq War and the operational history of the CH-53E. Ftxs (talk) 21:23, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete.I agree with Petebutt . It should be mentioned in the Iraw war page, certainly, in the context of that.

  • Delete. People die in war; it's been sugarcoated by the media, but that's how it is.

  • Keep. Parroting of CRASH (as SOLDIER) needs to stop. A F-16 crash is rarely notable, indeed. When 31 people die - it often is notable.

The result was delete. Similar to the recent Peter Hood Ballantine Cumming DRV, the major point of contention here is whether a obit in the NY Times is sufficient to establish notability. It's unclear from the comments left by the keep camp, how much weight they put on the obit itself, and how much on the other coverage.

  • Delete. The existence of an obituary in The New York Times is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself, particularly for a person whose notability claim is located inside the NYT's local coverage area. It certainly points at the potential for notability if more sources could be shown than just the obituary itself, but the obit does not singlehandedly confer a magic pass of WP:GNG as an article's only source.

You claimed it's "unsourced" but that's utterly not true and anybody can verify this. It has 10 valid sources including academic books and print sources. You said you couldn't find any source; although strange, I can believe you, but with pointing that others have found sources and the article has sources, decent sources for that matter. Your claim of unclear focus, this may be slightly true especially if you say "poorly organized" and even then, it is also not valid reason for deletion.

  • Speedy keep. Plenty of independent coverage on subject across 15+ years that extend well beyond the high-profile lawsuit (excerpts below):

John Huxley, (12 Oct 1995) 'Newspaper Allies Are Now Rivals' The Sydney Morning Herald p. 7
The battle for Melbourne's shrinking newspaper market has always been tough, turbulent and, in the case of some titles, terminal. Now, it is set to turn personal with the appointment of Mr Bruce Guthrie as the new editor of The Age.
Sid Marris & Benjamin Haslem (1 Aug 1997) 'Kennett hopes for loving Age' The Australian p. 6
VICTORIAN Premier Jeff Kennett yesterday renewed his attack on the editorial management of The Age newspaper, indicating he had complained to management about the behaviour of editor Bruce Guthrie.
Richard Yallop (23 Aug 1997) 'Age editor quits citing difference in outlook' The Australian p. 2
THE editor of The Age, Bruce Guthrie, resigned yesterday, telling staff he did not share the same vision for the newspaper as the newly appointed editor-in-chief and publisher, Steve Harris.
Catherine Fox (8 Dec 1998) 'Former Age editor goes to Who' The Australian Financial Review p. 36
Time Inc is replacing Mr Tom Moore, the editor of its troubled weekly magazine Who Weekly with the former editor of Fairfax's The Age, Mr Bruce Guthrie.
Helen Westerman (18 Jan 2007) 'New editor for Herald Sun' The Age
Guthrie, currently editor of The Weekend Australian magazine, is on holiday in Colorado and was unavailable for comment yesterday. He began his career with the The Herald in Melbourne in 1971, going on to become editor of The Sunday Age in 1992 and The Age in 1995, where he was a vocal critic of then Victorian premier Jeff Kennett. Guthrie later left to edit People magazine and Who Weekly before being made Time Inc Australia's editorial director in 2003. He returned to News Limited in 2004.
Jonathon Chancellor (9 Nov 2008) 'Title deeds' The Sydney Morning Herald p. 52
FORMER Who Weekly editor, Bruce Guthrie, now editor-in-chief of The Herald Sun, has listed his 1930s Sydney residence with plans to upgrade his Melbourne abodes. More than $2.3million is expected for the recently tenanted Cremorne house with pool. ... It was bought by Guthrie and his wife, restaurant reviewer Janne Apelgren, for $1.25million in 1999 shortly after his appointment as Who Weekly editor following his return to Australia from New York.
Andrew Crook (10 Jun 2011) 'Murdoch bites man: HWT 'threatened' Press Club over Guthrie book' Crikey
The Herald and Weekly Times issued threats to withdraw funding to the Melbourne Press Club if it went ahead with a proposal to launch Bruce Guthrie’s best-selling book Man Bites Murdoch, according to the distinguished former editor of the Herald Sun.
'Further to the Guthries' (22 Nov 2013) The Australian Financial Review p. 37
Some Rear Window readers may have figured from Monday's item on the Industry SuperFunds-owned fledgling digital site, thenewdaily.com.au, that director Bruce Guthrie was paying his daughter Susannah out of the project's coffers. Actually, she's not being paid by The New Daily. Ms Guthrie has recently returned from an extended stint at Time Inc in New York.
Clearly the article needs expanding, as do a lot of other articles on the Australian media, but this is no reason to delete it. As a side note, would it be more appropriate to disambiguate this page as journalist rather than editor? Editor is quite a broad term. Kb.au (talk) 07:38, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd thought of that when I checked the DAB page to see what it disambiguates. It is unnecessary as the politician never had an article it is more appropriate to use hatnote until the time we have more entries that really needs disambiguation. –Ammarpad (talk) 04:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Well, it looks like only a single person advocates having an article on this topic. Concerns range from the notion that this is a non-notable neologism and that it doesn't have an unified definition to concerns that this article is original research, and especially the last point has been only weakly contested; even by the keep argument it seems like the topic is largely synthesized and not covered in a cohesive manner by sources under this term.

  • Delete. WP:NEO, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:GNG. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:41, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Yesterday I examined many of this article's sources, and found that they do not support the article's text. Most notably, the reference used to cite the concept of "hyperwar" in the lead (and which is later re-used in the body of the article) does not even mention the term "hyperwar"! I made these edits to remove these misleading references. Abattoir666 has since reverted all of my changes (thus re-adding this deception) and abused me in the process - their abusive edit summary is also misleading, as the source does not actually explain how the website got that name. As this appears to be a non-notable topic and the article is largely not supported by the claimed sources, there's no notability and nothing to salvage here. The closing admin may want to consider sanctioning Abattoir666 for this conduct. Nick-D (talk) 10:02, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete . I concur. I have reviewed all the sources (bar the one behind a paywall) and they do not support the statements in the article. The term is clearly WP:NEO. The Origin section first paragraph describes war, and does not articulate why ‘hyperwar’ is different. The second paragraph has no source for the first sentence, and the source for the second sentence does not actually support the term as defined. The Modern Usage section lacks citations for key parts and reads like opinion. In addition Abbattoir666 has engaged in WP:OWNBEHAVIOR which has prevented any other contributions to the article. Gibbja (talk) 13:27, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The sources linking to the article don't explicitly state the word hyperwar for legitimate reasons. For one, because no editors have bothered to make an article explaining the "maturing precision strike regime", an overwhelmingly well documented concept formulated by the DOD's very own Office of Net Assessment, no reader will have any idea what that means. Hence the link to the paper by CSBA, an ONA associate and long term developer of said concept. These references aren't misleading in the slightest, because they have to explain concepts that no one here has yet bothered to explain. Regarding the website Hyperwar, the author the website clearly capitalized on the IT revolution and the common phraseology referring to the Second World War as a "Hyperwar" to name his website "HyperWar" - an unsubtle pun relating to his gratuitous usage of hypertexts and reference to the scale of the Second World War. If it's a matter of sourcing that's at issue, more sources and explication can be provided as necessary, but we run the risk of making a relatively short article indicating another iteration of RMA into a disgusting 3000 word monstrosity. Also, contending the source behind the paywall is a nonstarter, I linked the official source for obvious reasons, but a quick google search will also bring up this alternative [[13]] , as well as this video by the article's secondary author [[14]]. Don't let my abusive behavior mislead you, particular given it was directed towards misguided edits that would obfuscate a particularly complex subject - while "HyperWar" a history of the Second World War so in depth that the US government picked it up to archive it is worthy of a it's own article. This article describing Hyperwarfare for the masses, a concept spurred on by the president of the World's most powerful Thinktank (also a four star general), covering every recent revolution in military technology is worthy of Wikipedia. Gentlemen, with this article we are at the forefront of the Revolution in Military Affairs, deleting it would just push wikipedia's military section towards obsolescence.

  • Comment As the article clearly states, this is hardly a neologism, as it's been in use in roughly four ways for well over 70 years. On the grounds that there is a Federally archived webpage history of the Second World War alone the page should be kept. Nor is this a case of using a crystal ball, Hyperwar in the form espoused by a figure more credible than any wikipedia editor could dream of being, suggests an admixture of Precision-Strike, Drone Technology, etc.. which is already occurring in its nascent form. This is clearly not speculative, but a sober observation by overly qualified individuals on the changing nature of warfare. Abattoir666 (talk) 18:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article makes that claim, but several of the supposed sources given for this term and concept do not even include the term "hyperwar". Nick-D (talk) 06:23, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • If it's a matter of collocating the sources with appropriate portions of the article, I'm sure this can be remediated with some exertion on my part. But several of the sources are here to explicate Hyperwar's subordinate concepts, like for instance a [maturated precision-strike regime], a key component of any "hyperwar", but one that as of yet has not enjoyed really any "popular" coverage (well... it has, there was that brief fascination with America's wonder weapons following the Gulf Wars, but that's largely dissipated). I don't want to overstep my lane too much, but among military planning circles, the upper-echelons of America's command structure, and scattered among America's "top tier" defense think tanks, phrases like "maturated precision-strike regime" (which really only translates to technological developments in sensors, target packages, satellites, etc..; just think anything Tom Clancy would write about, boy do they love Tom Clancy) are among their vernacular. I guess a way to sort of simplify this (admittedly not enough for general audiences) is that the "Hyperwar" idea translates into a mixture of all of America's (and presumably our potential adversaries, but the US has a habit of setting the global tempo for warfare) doctrinal and operational concepts, as well as the private sector's developments in artificial intelligence and autonomous technology.

Was nominated for CSD A7 on basis of having no credible assertion of importance or significance, but rejected on basis of "Fails WP:NPOL courtesy coming 2nd in the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections but not A7able stuff. Approach AFD." PamD 17:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge content into Andrew Radford (linguist) and redirect there. Yes, in its current state this article is problematic. But I'm amazed to read that "this is purely promotional content" -- what ever happened to "AGF"? Radford's book was standard in its day, and his general approach was and still is influential. How "structure building" differs from, or is part of, or subsumes, either "weak continuity" or "minimal trees" is something I don't remember well offhand, and I don't have immediate access to my shelf with three or more books that might well offer material that would remind me. Even if this were sorted out, the material wouldn't slot into First language -- which is where first language acquisition redirects (cf its still redlinked synonym child language acquisition) -- whose current coverage of nativist approaches concentrates on the premisses and not at anything more concrete. In the medium/long-term future there should probably be a standalone article on the structure-building model (not necessarily with this title) or similar, an article within which Radford's name would certainly be among the half-dozen most conspicuous; in the short term, it would be good if somebody with more spare time than I'm likely to have would bone up on such books as Barbara C Lust's Child Language: Acquisition and Growth and Maria Teresa Guasti's Language Acquisition: The Growth of Grammar and informedly augment the First language article. -- Hoary (talk) 23:28, 11 January 2018 (UTC) trivially reworded Hoary (talk) 00:36, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I had initially tagged her article for notability, as it was mostly about, and created after, the accident. Then, I expanded it, hoping to find some degree of notability before the accident news spread. I found a few minor film roles and the future upcoming main one. I expect the latter to garner her some notice, as some post-death film releases do, but, until then, she's deletable. Plus, I've currently grown tired of the "is she dead or isn't she?" revisions.Wyliepedia 15:41, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kb.au (talk) 12:38, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
BabbaQ - We most certainly DO compare notability among various actors. Nicole Kidman is clearly notable. My personal best friend who has 27 minor acting credits and has appeared in nearly 100 separate television episodes (including 11 episodes of Home and Away) is not notable, as he was not a featured performer in any of those works.

  • Keep combination of acting appearances and tragic death create notablility. 70,000 readers of this article are interested in her too ...... which also points to notability. MurielMary (talk) 10:32, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment WP:NACTOR requires "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" which she does not have. 16 episodes of a soap and a yet to be released movie does not meet the benchmark. The accident was tragic but she is not dead so WP:BLP1E applies. DigitalPanda (talk) 12:37, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I predict a nasty blast against us from The Daily Telegraph et al, if we delete it before her funeral/the attention's flickered out. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 11:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
She wasn't notable before the accident, so... Also, has there been a rash of WP-bashing articles lately, and why should that matter? TDT are the ones that pronounced her dead after life-support was ended. — Wyliepedia 02:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, nomination is flawed. There are two events; being a TV actress and dying, and a misunderstanding of NotNews, which seems to be, "somebody appearing in the news means they must be kept off Wikipedia". Abductive (reasoning) 11:51, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks Abductive, my view of the subject in relation to WP:BLP1E is that she was only covered in reliable sources in the context of the crash (per condition 1: "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event"). There seems to be no coverage of her in independent, reliable sources prior to the crash; the only result I could find in the news media was an incidental mention of her in a Daily Mail gossip article about Pia Miller from May 2016. I'm unsure how my understanding of WP:NOTNEWS is incorrect. If the individual is not notable and the event has no lasting notability, the article is essentially just a breaking news story. Kb.au (talk) 12:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, I still think deleting or redirecting to Hope Morrison should wait until after the funeral so we don't look crass and disrespectful. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- does not meet WP:NACTOR and WP:BLP situation. Do we really need to inform the readers that the subject's surgery included "removal of part of her skull"? No lasting notability and disrespectful to the deceased. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:00, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I think it is very sad that anyone should think it appropriate to have made this nomination right now. Thincat (talk) 10:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As stated above, her article was created after the accident, so, for now, it's sadly her only notability. "Inappropriate" would be in the case of a suicide. Her article is stable to be a BLP, but not notable enough to exist...yet. — Wyliepedia 11:17, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really understand your comment but maybe you didn't understand mine. I think the nomination was not appropriate because it was likely to give rise to insensitive comments such as "until then, she's deletable". I had been reminded of a similar situation ten years ago where the AFD discussion was eventually blanked because of dreadfully crass comments (through thoughtlessness rather than malice). That article still exists and seems to be causing no difficulty. I won't link to it. Thincat (talk) 11:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Out of my vote, "she's deletable" is what you get twisted about? Perhaps you should check her page history (circa 12/29) and see who fluffed her article to give some semblance of notability, outside of the events of the past three weeks. — Wyliepedia 16:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Trust I've seen short and one source articles worth deleting. This one is fine to keep as it is sourced effectively and does tell much about her. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is more than sufficient material to indicate this article is worth keeping. Capitalistroadster (talk) 05:05, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep People keep saying her acting career was short (it was and she would not be notable on that alone), but combine the acting career with the crash and that's two events. She clearly passes GNG and has some pretty major sources covering her death, just think in 500 years if historians were to build a biographical dictionary using major newspapers obits, Jessica would clearly get into it based on the level of coverage.

  • Keep. The soap opera role was substantial, and 16 episodes, while not huge, is not brief either. She also has a major role in a yet to be released film. While normally we'd wait till that film is released, her accident and death have caused an unusual amount of advance mention of it in reliable sources, so it makes sense to keep this rather than to have to recreate it after that second important role is publicly viewable. Yngvadottir (talk) 04:12, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Significant role in Australia's longest running soap. Has a part in an upcoming film that is going ahead despite her death. The fact the the article was not created prior to her accident does not have any bearing on notability.--Dmol (talk) 05:15, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - WP:NACTOR requires "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". One role, even significant, does not establish notability and 16 episodes of a soap is not significant. DigitalPanda (talk) 09:22, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No mention of her in the media before the crash. Even if the crash was tragic it goes under NotNews.DrKilleMoff (talk) 05:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Doesn't meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability as one TV series and movie role doesn't qualify as "multiple" in my opinion. Unfortunately sixteen episodes in a very long running series is not quite enough to strengthen the case for Falkholt's notability. The circumstances of her death are tragic which is why I would wait a little while before deleting the article. smrgeog (talk) 05:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except for the upcoming movie and TV show, which are attested by secondary sources. This entire nomination is pointless, because her article will be reinstated in short order. No scalp for the nominator. Abductive (reasoning) 05:39, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment looking at it coldly even the upcoming film won't be enough to meet the notability criteria unless she wins a major acting award and/or the film is a major success. If that happens, I would support the idea of keeping the article. smrgeog (talk) 05:54, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But, then again, these are the subjects enough editors feel are important in the moment. A few people here believe it was "disrespectful" to nominate this for deletion but do you really believe Jessica (or anyone) would want a piece primarily devoted to the pitiful state she was left in as a result of the crash to remember her by?

  • Keep - she's known for three things: a recurring role in a soap opera, a major role in an upcoming film, and her tragic death.

  • Keep - I think keep is the best solution here. Of course Wikipedia is not a memorial site. I understand that. But the movies to be released and her appearance in the soap that is very popular is an indication for notability. It may be weak. Perhaps a link out of the entries for the movies to come (people coming later will ask what did she do before e.g.) and the soap would justify the entry to be kept.

  • Keep I felt maybe perhaps a revision, in which I don't think I presented my arguments tone correctly, maybe someone needs to write a sort of sub genre tab, for life instances, or make a page for Jessica falkholt who has an imdb page and sounds pretty damn famous enough to deserve to have a page to be known for the human she was, and that is the point of the amazing wiki library, and regardless of what that family wants, there is an even greater gain to society, within this beautifully devious life lesson, luring mistresses they can be...edit- I didn't know that something has to be famous to be recorded in "the free encyclopedia"(which I basically learned a novice in pharmacology, grateful) as long as it knowledgeable, and or interesting, and look at this beautiful page a collective of humans took to edit, seems like there was a lot to say about her, well if your gonna destroy that work, you look it in the face and tell it. I guess it all boils down to how promising her career was, but I'm from eastern U.S.A. and news of her death was front page first thing I opened my homepage to. btw someone should seriously pioneer that wiki sub genre tab.-fervy Ferventtboundz (talk) 10:48, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Her role on Home and Away was NOT significant or notable. Home and Away cranks out 150 minutes of television a week, 40 weeks a year, and pretty much every actor in Sydney has appeared in it for a few weeks as a minor character at some stage in their career. For reference, a local actor I know (Paul Barry) appeared in eleven episodes of the show, as well as many other locally produced soaps, TV dramas and numerous TV movies. His resume is substantially longer than hers, but he is also not notable as none of those roles were "featured" or "significant". Manning (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • What other actors does or does not are irrelevant. What another actor has done concerning career has no baring what so ever on Falkholts career. Notability is established here per references and career. And like it or not her accident and death has recieved both national and international coverage so is also notable.BabbaQ (talk) 08:52, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • How someones career gets noticed is irrelevant. I could probably have created an article about her a year ago. The reality is that not every notable person gets an articke created about them before death for whatever reason. But the fact alone that her article was created after death and in connection with a serious accident is irrelevant to notability. And you are wrong about coverage, world media has covered her death, first of a clear indication of notability. Secondly, the world coverage is notable.BabbaQ (talk) 15:39, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because of WP:SIGCOV internationally sparked by her death. It can be revisited in a year or two, when notability will be clearer. Or work based on her may have emerged. But I also wish to mention WP:RAPID. Before rushing WP:BREAKNG NEWS to Afd, take a deep breath, put it in a file, and return to the topic later. People who hear about an EVENT and turn to Wikipedia for information only to find a deletion template see us at our worst - and yet this is a moment at which new editors often decide to join the project. Rushing to delete articles in the weeks after an event happens is not only a waste of editorial time and energy, deletion of EVENTS turns readers off and squanders good will.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:42, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You could had but you didn't, just because she wasn't a notable person in life. 16 episodes of over 6000 in a show that has lasted for 30 years and a movie which doesn't even haver been released yet does not make someone notable. Her other works exists of a short film and one extra in one episode of another Tv series. And you misread what I wrote.

  • Delete Actually Hawkeye gave no reason to keep this article. It lacks even one source that is an indepdent, secondary one that counts as a reliable source. Beyond that, the subject does not meet the notability guidelines for sportspeople.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:40, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    The onus is on the editor nominating an article for deletion to make a case for it. As to yours, it doesn't matter if the article is a stub, or has no sources. Rather, you need to demonstrate that there is no independent coverage in reliable sources. In this case, the article is far from being stub, it does have sources, although they are not cited properly, and independent, reliable coverage does exist. His role as a pioneer of an obscure sport adds to his notability, as coverage reflects more than routine coverage of events, and he has participated in world championships of his sport. ie competed at the highest level. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:01, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Lack of sources does in the article does not equate to failing notability guidelines. He's undoubtedly a world class competitor, but in a decidedly minority sport.

Although there was coverage of this in New York newspapers and one local radio/television station, the event was not a lasting one, nor does it of historical significance, so it doesn't really meet WP:NEVENT. It isn't being re-analyzed afterwards years afterwards, and is borderline routine, the exception being that most of the people killed were connected to a family.

  • Keep. Non-trivial coverage here (article is as much about the organization as the cat); non-trivial coverage here (interview about ACA rescue efforts for an urban Andean cat that they eventually relocated to the wild). Covered repeatedly in books [24], one of which (The Biology and Conservation of Wild Felids) says of the organization: "Over the past decade, field biologists working under the Andean Cat Alliance (AGA in Spanish—www.gatoandino.org), have contributed to advancing our knowledge on the ecology and distribution of this species", and "an international network of research teams" (can't see the full chapter in Google Books snippet view [25], so it's unclear how much more the organization is discussed in it, but this is more than just mention that the organization exists). Wild Cats: Past & Present profiles (not just lists) the organization in its chapters on felid conservation groups [26]. The Wild Cat Book: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Cats provides history about the founding of the organization, which is also not just a passing mention [27]. The journal of International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, Species Survival Commission's Cat Specialist Group covers a joint Andean Cat Alliance, BIOTA, and WCN 6-month series of field surveys and their results (though I can't see the full article) [28]. Mentioned and/or cited repeatedly in journals [29]; haven't looked into the details. Nor have I searched under the Spanish name of the organization yet, since what's already turned up with an English search is sufficient to establish notability.

  • Comment Staying neutral, but it's not at all dubious. It's type of WP:CALC doing exactly what nom has stated: copying the results from each season's article into one place. The sources are easily found there. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:23, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the point is simply that it is dubious a "Golden Boot" award is actually awarded for the Canadian Championship, as it cannot be found at the official site. If it is just a list of top scorers, it can be listed at the main page, which it already is in fact. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:31, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The nom pointed out "Completely unsourced and dubious". We are not required to Goggle, and "dig through" different sources not in the article, to determine if unsourced calulations are correct. It might be correct that if there were 2 red cars, 2 black cars, a white car, and a pink car, in sources, we could provide the total of "Six cars of various colors". The rest of WP:CALC states: "...provided there is consensus among editors that the result of the calculation is obvious, correct, and a meaningful reflection of the sources.". We would use a dubious tag anytime we saw an unsourced number presented or any content we couldn't verify. Dubious = questionable = how can we know if unsourced. I glanced at the article Canadian Championship and must have missed any mention there. It would seem that would be a good place if there are sources. I might agree it was not at all dubious if there was never content that was unsourced, biased, OR, POV, synthesis, or fringe theories presented in Wikipedia articles. I have a hard enough time because it appears broad consensus can support unsourced/undersourced/improperly sourced articles so there has to be a line on one where the content is pieced together. Otr500 (talk) 13:53, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Previously on ER: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roy Moore sexual abuse allegations.

I do not think it was possible to have a dispassionate discussion of this article during the election itself. Now it is over, I think we should revisit the appropriateness of having astandalone article on allegations which, as far as I can see, can never be tested in court due to the statute of limitations. Clearly it is valid to include these allegations in the biography of Moore, but it seems to me that we are over-covering this, given that it's included in his biography (in the context of his overall life and career) and in the article on the special election (in the context of its impact on the outcome). So I call WP:UNDUE and WP:NOTNEWS. Guy (Help!) 10:56, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't consensus, it was basically a no consensus default keep right in the middle of the election. That was pretty much the point I was making, in fact. Guy (Help!) 12:30, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
From the close: "[T]he consensus reached is to keep the article[...]the consensus here is to keep it." That was pretty much the point I was making, in fact. James (talk/contribs) 14:04, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By definition, it wasn't a consensus. As an admin of mroe than ten years' experience, I have closed enough AfDs to know the difference. Guy (Help!) 14:23, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - this should be procedurally closed. The Last AfD closed Keep a month a half ago. While I agree with the nomination - it should have been made half a year from now. I suggest that the nom withdraw the nomination.Icewhiz (talk) 12:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DPAFD Renominations: After a deletion debate concludes and the consensus is in favor of keeping the page, users should allow a reasonable amount of time to pass before nominating the same page for deletion again, to give editors the time to improve the page. Renominations shortly after the earlier debate are generally closed quickly. It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hope of getting a different outcome.. This essay Wikipedia:Renominating for deletion, parses reasonable to be approx. six months for pure keep and two months for no consensus.Icewhiz (talk) 14:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's a recommendation, if someone feels there is a legit reason to bring a new discussion, they still can do so.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:29, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- since this was covered extensively for an entire month, I think it goes beyond WP:NOTNEWS. There is just too much content to merge into the Roy Moore article.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This was national and international news for months. C. W. Gilmore (talk) 15:49, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – As a content fork, this makes a lot of sense, just like with Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, etc. There is simply too much information here for it to be contained in the main article; it was taking up an inordinate amount of space, and splitting is how we deal with that.
Beyond that, the information in this article is relevant to Roy Moore, and I think everyone agrees that these allegations are notable and belong in the encyclopedia. (I will concede that others think this article goes into too much detail.) The question is whether it needs to be a stand-alone article. As such, NOTNEWS doesn't apply. And for a stand-alone article, I think this clearly meets the basic requirement of WP:EVENT: it has received significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time.
Finally, I think this is exactly what an encyclopedia is for: a thorough and neutral accounting of what has been reported in reliable sources. If someone wants to know what's going on with all these accusations against Roy Moore, they shouldn't need to read through dozens of reports from different newspapers but rather should be able to turn to one source for an in-depth and neutral accounting, and that is exactly what an encyclopedia ought to do. -- irn (talk) 15:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per previous AfD obviously, not entirely sure what nominative is hoping to achieve with this. Artw (talk) 16:44, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Roy Moore: excessive news-level detail that no one will think is interesting or important in 5 years. The important points can be covered in one or two paragraphs in the biographical article. --JBL (talk) 14:29, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly meets WP:N.Casprings (talk) 04:48, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Having a separate sub-page on this subject is completely appropriate given the amount of coverage and publicity given to the allegations. This is an important page because it is not only about Roy Moore, but related to US politics in general, including elections and a wave of other similar allegations with respect to other famous people. Section Reactions is not really "Reactions", but "Significance". In addition, nothing really changed since the previous AfD two months ago.My very best wishes (talk) 04:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to general article on Moore. Wikipedia is not news, and nothing about these allegations requires a seperate article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:32, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Perhaps it wouldn't have hurt to wait to renominate later on down the road but I don't see this as a useful fork. It was clearly a major story but everything useful is in Roy Moore and United States Senate special election in Alabama, 2017.LM2000 (talk) 09:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In what way are statements like "He received an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin", "he studies nitric oxide restoration in humans", and "Bryan is Co-Founder and Nitric Oxide Scientist at HumanN", spam, Doc James? To paraphrase the last AfD, the subject is a clear pass of WP:PROF#C1 based on the fact they have authored dozens of papers that have been cited over 100 times, including several Nature papers. In other words, there are several thousand third party independent sources have discussed his work.

  • Further comments So the fact that they have published a book is presented as evidence that he is notable. I get dozens of requests to publish books. This is an active and well known issue within publishing. One of the publishers of one of his book "VDM Verlag" appears to be vanity press / running one of these publishing "scams".[37] Basically how it works is they hired "book finders" who are paid by commission. They take whatever an "author" submits and publishes without any editorial control. Than their are a bunch of libraries who buy in batches who make up their primary customer base and they do print on demand. The authors do it for vanity and get little money. As costs are kept very low and libraries agree to buy these the publisher can still make enough as printing books is simple so cheap. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:29, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Secondly we do not have an independent source noting that they have published a significant book... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for the same reasons as last time. And if Rhadow had actually read the previous debate, he would have noticed that "assistant professor" is an inaccurate description of the subject, who is (as was already described last time) "an industry researcher with a courtesy title". —David Eppstein (talk) 20:59, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agricola44 (talk) 16:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- meets WP:PROF and per prior AfD. An acceptable and sourced stub at this point. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:50, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am intrigued by the claims to notability from the publication of cited papers. Let us clear, the job of an ademics is to do research and publish papers. That is not a measure of notability. A bus driver does not become notable by driving a bus, neither does an academic become notable by writing papers. Nothing here suggests he is notable for his role in his field. I can still see no valid ground for asserting notability. Perhaps those wishing to keep could specify in detail which elements of the relevant notability criteria are met by which specific assertions.  Velella  Velella Talk   09:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think it is important that someone clear-up your misunderstanding on this issue. Nobody is saying that publishing papers makes this person notable. Notability comes from the fact that his work (his papers) have been noted (cited), a lot. The heart of PROF criterion 1 (which is the spirit of several other types of notability guidelines, as well) is that a person is notable if their work has caused others to take note of it (any by extension, them) in a sufficiently conspicuous way. Citations are that indicator. Now, for this case specifically, Bryan seems to have >20 papers having >100 citations each. If you look at the corpus of intellectual citations through standard databases (mostly GS and WoS), that's pretty high and indeed exceeds our usually WP thresholds for demonstrating that PROF c1 has been satisfied. So, published papers and citations to those papers are very different. The first is not a basis for a notability claim, but the second is. And, in this case, the claim is easily satisfied. Hope this clarifies matters. Agricola44 (talk) 15:32, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Sigificant RS coverage not found. The article is cited to online directories, interviews, commercial websites, and other sources otherwise not suitable for notability. Does not meet WP:PORNBIO / WP:NACTOR. No significant awards or notable contributions to the genre.

First AfD closed as "no consensus" based on the arguments along the lines of she's notable and seems popular in Japan; neither sounds convincing. PORNBIO has been significantly tightened since then and I believe it's a good time to revisit. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Based on continued coverage even as soon as this week in 2018. Clearly a case that has reached the level of where its continually covered by media. Good references in the article as well.BabbaQ (talk) 09:56, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per WP:GNG and, in particular, WP:LASTING. On the former, GNG is more than satisfied. On the latter, the case (and the defence's claims on the legal basis used to capture/use the mobile phone data) has already had a lasting effect. And could have further effect. Nationally. And potentially further afield. On the lasting effects already seen, the case led (directly and indirectly) to a review of the underlying legislation (the 2011 Act) and changes to how state agencies use the data captured under that act. On the lasting effects that may yet be seen (and have already been reported), the planned appeal claims are expected to be relevant to case law, precedent and the validity of the Communications (Retention of Data) Act 2011 itself. (And any other cases which have already or may in future rely on mobile phone evidence captured by the Gardaí). The WP:LASTING effects already seen (the review of the existing law and how agencies rely on that law), and the lasting effects potentially in the offing (the potential impact to the Act itself) are both well reported. Though they hadn't actually been represented in the article, I have since added it. Guliolopez (talk) 10:25, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. While not the most scintillating topic to have a list on, this is a properly sourced and verifiable collection of information.

List of mayors of Traverse City, Michigan

The PROD rationale summarizes the situation succinctly: "WP:LISTCRUFT - a list of mayors of a ~14000 pop town is not notable." According to the last census estimate, that number would be closer to 15,500, but it's nowhere near the 140K claimed by the editor who removed the PROD. (There might be that many people in the full micropolitan area, which includes four counties, one other city and 12 villages.)

There's no evidence that the topic of the mayors of this city meets WP:GNG, so this list warrants deletion. Imzadi 1979  04:40, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which of the seven listed forbidden things in WP:NOTDIR are you referring to? Which of the four in WP:INDISCRIMINATE? If you are going to quote a guide, show us a quotation, anyone can wave around words. --RAN (talk) 20:17, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Those are examples, it doesn't have to explicitly list mayors (or politicians). Wikipedia is not a directory of every person who has ever governed anywhere.--Rusf10 (talk) 21:54, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, exactly, just substitute in the words "popes and presidents" into the banned topics in the two guidelines and you can see why WP:NOTDIR WP:INDISCRIMINATE ban us from listing presidents and popes. --RAN (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not that's ridiculous, if the members of the list met notability guidelines on their own (like popes and presidents), we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

  • Neutral (for now) - I find it rather pointless to create a list article that is almost by definition, going to be sourced to a single source, a PDF from the city's website. On the other hand, an historic list of mayors is endorsed content for a settlement article per WP:USCITY, and this list is quite long, so perhaps it is a valid WP:FORK. Neither useful, or important, are criteria for having an article on Wikipedia; notable is. John from Idegon (talk) 21:12, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If we are allowed to list the mayors in the article on the town and that list gets too large, we break it out into a standalone list. Also a standard almanac entry, which is a Wikipedia pillar. --RAN (talk) 16:49, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Let's just create lists of totally non-notable people. As per WP:LISTPEOPLE, A person is included in a list if "The person meets the Wikipedia notability requirement" & "The person's membership in the list's group is established by reliable sources." The people in this article do not meet the notability requirement. It also say "In a few cases, such as lists of board members or academics holding notable positions, the names of non-notable people may be included in a list that is largely made up of notable people, for the sake of completeness." (emphasis mine). Since no one on this list is notable, it should not exist. Also, find me an almanac that lists historical names of mayors for every town.--Rusf10 (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- By my read of the law [42], the mayor of a city like Traverse City is a member of the council. The distinguishing feature is that the mayor is elected at large.

  • Comment I agree with Unscintillating. WP:SPINOUT articles are not a function of notability.  If someone objects to the spinout, the remedy is to unspin the article, and doing so is a content discussion that begins with a bold edit and if needed moves to the talk page of one of the articles involved.

  • Delete - as per nom and the WP:LISTN put forth by K.e.coffman. Spinout is not relevant in this instance, since the information should most likely have not been included in the city article to begin with, as per WP:INDISCRIMINATE: " As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia."

  • Keep Somebody's bothered to upload this. What does it serve to remove this? Who is helped by it no longer being here? What people value WP for and brings them here is the information we have, not the information we have removed. Even if only a handful of people a year would have read this information, that is now a handful of people we would not be serving. What is the supposed upside to balance not serving them? This is not the kind of random intersection discussed in WP:LISTCRUFT - a mayor is a well-defined public position. Nor is this WP:INDISCRIMINATE - it's a systematic collation of a particular aspect of a town's history, usefully separated into its own page, so if anyone doesn't find it relevant it's not going to get into their way. So, to those who would delete, please do answer: who would a deletion benefit? Cui bono ? -- Jheald (talk) 12:01, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The arguments above are convincing. The content is verifiable and there is plenty of local coverage of the mayors. While not each independently notable a list article is an appropriateway to handle the content which is notable in relation to the town but would be undue were it to be included in the town article. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:23, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable..." (where the rest of the sentence suggests that at their discretion, editors may limit lists to notable subjects). "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." - WP:N. In this case the position of mayor is notable, and the information is "a systematic collation of a particular aspect of a town's history" (per Jheald). --Enos733 (talk) 21:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as an appropriate fork of the Traverse City article, and as a non-outlier among the numerous existing lists in the subcategories of Category:Lists of mayors. It is content suited to the kinds of specialized almanacs (in this case, U.S. state government almanacs such as the Oregon Blue Book) that Wikipedia aspires in part to emulate. An alternative format worth mentioning is the approach taken by List of mayors of Tallahassee, Florida, which is a redirect to an expandable/collapsible list in the Tallahassee article. --TimK MSI (talk) 22:17, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, it just creates the impression that you are using a policy as a distraction to pursue inclusionism against notability and content policies.

  • Delete -- a nn case that was settled out of court. The coverage is routine; no societal impact or lasting significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- this does not appear to be a notable case, in the sense that it has had no lasting impact and there is no real indication that it has had an effect in setting meaningful precedents for subsequent cases. Reyk YO! 08:34, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subject no longer meets WP:PORNBIO, which guidelines are quite tighter than it was during the first AFD four years ago. Also does not meet WP:GNG due to lack of coverage in any entertainment or porn sources The Legendary Ranger (talk) 23:36, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- fails relevant notability guidelines and significant RS coverage not found. She was in two blockbusters movies her roles were minor. Only nominations and no awards, etc. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:53, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The previous AfD result was "no consensus." Where are the reliable sources saying her role was more than minor? Appeared in a blockbuster is not the same as "starred in." As for GNG, no significant coverage by independent reliable sources is in evidence. • Gene93k (talk) 12:05, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - notable, in addition to being a pornstar, she appeared in many productions outside the porn industry. The article needs to be expanded, not deleted. Besides, it meets the requirements of WP:GNG. Subtropical-man (talk / en-2) 17:10, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, MBisanz talk 02:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails both PORNBIO and GNG. Blue was not the the star of either of the two notable movies, she just appeared in them and no reliable sourcing that addresses in more than a passing way. Wikiuser20102011 (talk) 20:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not out yet, but it has caught a bit of attention and should start to look better once it's released and reviews are written. JOEBRO64 01:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per sources above, and countless others found in a simple Google search. Major sports outlets like Fox Sports are even reporting on it. The article is certainly in awful shape, definitely, but it's still notable, and considering it's coming out next week, there's reason to believe improvement will happen too. Sergecross73 msg me 01:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep. Significant coverage in numerous independent sources across the world, as others have pointed out. Clearly meets GNG. Kb.au (talk) 02:10, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It's a clearly notable release; passes GNG, and will only increase with the release - I've also added the above references to the article. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 08:52, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blatant advertisement with a tone of an About Us brochure. No significant coverage to satisfy GNG found. Article created, maintained, and likely deprodded by massive sockpuppet ring. James (talk/contribs) 00:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep - There are hundreds of results in google news, over 100 at newspapers.com[45], and many useful reliable sources at a plain google search. I agree there are strong NPOV issues, but I don't see an argument for deletion. Smmurphy(Talk) 01:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I share the concerns over the promotional tone of the article - e.g. the lead "The Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) was created out of a need to document Filipino American history for succeeding generations. Before Dorothy Laigo Cordova and her husband Fred Cordova took up the task, there was a paucity of information available about the Filipino American community's history in the United States." - is horrendous. However this should be fairly easy to rectify and is not grounds for deletions - worst case this could be stubbed down.Icewhiz (talk) 06:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC) I toned it down a bit. I considered taking an axe to the list of FANHS Chapters out of DIRECTORY concerns - but left this in.Icewhiz (talk) 06:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The subject is clearly notable, and thanks to the efforts of User:Smmurphy and User:Icewhiz, the promotional nature has been toned down.Jacona (talk) 19:53, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
