- Colegio Nacional "Enrique Nvó Okenve" (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Article does not assert notability, with no other references to it on wikipedia Canis Lupus 23:54, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Colleges are generally notable by default, but I'm finding no proof that this even exists, just Wiki mirrors. This source uses the term "Enrique Nvo Okenve", but not in the context of a college, so it may be a hoax.

*Delete It is a word for word copyvio of http://www.shortopedia.com/C/O/Colleges_and_universities and at that website redirects to our article Colegio Nacional. I could not find any other mention of this college, other than at the shortpedia page which in itself is not a reliable source. Was not aware that if a school simply had a name, it was notable and thus worthy for inclusion in WP. I struck my comment and withdraw.--«JavierMC»|Talk 19:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - we keep tertiary college. Its existence is confirmed by a US Government document here. TerriersFan (talk) 02:13, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That singular source doesn't have me convinced, seeing as it's the only thing right now that so much as verifies the college. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Whether you consider it is enough for notability is one thing but it is certainly enough to verify the existence of the college (assuming the reliability of US Gov documents). We need to be careful to avoid systemic bias in considering pages on such institutions; this is a non-English speaking establishment in a small country whose institutions have a relatively poor presence on the internet. This is an instance where there will certainly be local sources. TerriersFan (talk) 02:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- 'Comment "Official website" link goes to an 'under construction' web site - not a good sign for notability of the record label concerned.

* Merge and redirect with her husband's page David Arkenstone--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 02:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep WP:BIO is the wrong reference for this topic; the proper guideline is WP:BAND. It appears that the subject meets several of the criteria there--numbers 5 and 6, possibly others. The article is very stubby at present--it has neither the proper infobox nor a list of albums--but that is grounds for improvement, not for deletion. Freederick (talk) 01:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Google has got a cache of her website. There are reprints of two interviews, one with New Age Music and New Sounds, one with New Age Voice. She also seems to have put out around 23 albums. She does seem to have a career independent to her husband. Tassedethe (talk) 07:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral, Ahh, I see they're no longer married. That might make a redirect weird then. Not encouraging of an independent article for her though is this quote from that second interview "Diane Arkenstone’s name has been associated with David Arkenstone for much of the past 10 years, although she has recorded four solo albums."--Samuel J.

The result was Redirect by myself. Volume One was redirected, and Volume Three was deleted (then redirected), so I see no reason why this shouldn't be too, especially after the 800 relistings, as this would put it in line with WP:MUSIC.

- The other article was prodded by you. That shows me nothing. I agree per below, these articles can be sourced, just are lacking sources. I can't understand why you are so eager to delete articles than can be salvaged. smooth0707 (talk) 01:25, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If they can be salvaged (ie notability can be demonstrated), then I strongly encourage you to add the sources which show notability. If notability is demonstrated, I will gladly remove the prods myself and change my !vote here to keep. I have made a good faith effort to find the sources myself that would show notability and I haven't discovered them -- if you can find them where I failed, you'll get my sincere thanks.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. WP:MUSIC clearly states that "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." Yes, these articles need sources, but that in itself is not a compelling reason for deletion. Rwiggum (Talk/Contrib) 04:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You might want to read that passage from WP:MUSIC again. It says albums may be notable, not are automatically notable. Notability for an album still needs to be established; there is a lot of AfD precedent for this.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- To complete the passage "Individual articles on albums should include independent coverage. Demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased albums are in general not notable; however, they may be notable if they have significant independent coverage in reliable sources." Don't cherry pick lines from guidelines out of context, this is considered to be gaming the system. --neon white talk 16:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
***Could you please explain to me how this extra passage eliminates the requirement for notability to be established for the album itself? I read this as reinforcing the requirement for independent reliable sources, not conferring automatic notability. Obviously you are reading this differently, and I'd like to understand where you're coming from. (And please don't accuse me of gaming the system. Thanks.)--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Christ-Pythagoras's Explanatory Philosophy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Article has been prodded, but it was contested. The subject is said to be quite unknown and difficult to find in sources. It also seems that very few books about it exist, and most of them are in Greek or Indian. Only two links were provided: One leads to a "Cannot be found"-like page, the other is in Portuguese, my primary language. It only briefly mentions the subject. providing no information. A Google search didn't prove useful either. In a nutshell, considering WP:N, WP:OR and WP:V, the page should be deleted. Victor Lopes (talk) 21:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I forgot to say that the Russian version of the article has been deleted, and the portuguese one is unreferenced. Victor Lopes (talk) 22:02, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As a rule, things that are unknown and difficult to find sources for would be what we call "not notable", in a very textbook way. PHARMBOY (TALK) 22:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete No reliable sources, no hope of being sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 22:46, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The article itself contains no substantial motivation for why it would be notable. Also, a quick search of JSTOR revealed only one journal article which uses the names Christ and Pythagoras in succession, and it is not at all in reference to this. Huadpe (talk) 23:02, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge per everyone. JuJube (talk) 01:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to List of Hawaiian Eye episodes per standard practices. With respects to Colonel Warden, the source you added only speaks toward the notability of crime dramas as a genre, and makes no mention of Hawaiian Eye in its listed examples... much less this specific episode. Is there another source coming? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:38, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You are mistaken - this source does specifically discuss this episode and iirc I cited the page number. And merger to a list is a nonsense since such lists are less notable. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- My apologies. I was referring to the sourced link (sans page number). It does allow a search for specific names though. This search of that site does mention Hawaiian Eye by name on page 17, and this one does mention the episode "The Kamehameha Cloak". The source does prove the episode was aired on January 13, 1960. But it does not address any specific notability for that episode. I did a further search because of your passion for this article... using "The Kamehameha Cloak, Hawaiian Eye" for my google search. I found the episode listed at IMDB, TVIV, TV.com, Locatetv.com, ThrillingDetective.com, EPGuides.com, NNdb.com, Fancast.com, MovieWeb.com, TripAtlas.com, MovieStationn.org, ClassicCollector.com, etal (and many I cannot add to this discussion because of the Wiki Spam filter). The best information on the specific episode is at SquareOne.org, but still is no more than a cast/crew list and episode synopsis. I do not deny it aired or was released. But I cannot find anything that directly addresses specific notability for this one episode. Nothing has been offered that makes it any more or less important than any of the other Hawaiian Eye series episodes With no singular notability, the article might likely be deleted... so, and though you feel a merger to a list will lessen its "notability", at least a merger will keep the information available.

- Asheem Singh (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
This article has been tagged as being of doubtful notability since 13 April 2008 - two weeks short of six months. Since then nobody has adduced any evidence that the article is about a notable subject. A search of the internet suggests that Asheem Singh is a think-tank employee who has enjoyed some success in creative writing. That is very laudable, but it does not make him notable. I mentioned on the talk page soon after the article was created that I find it interesting that the article was created and edited by a user called User:Ashthecash, whose sole contributions to Wikipedia are to Asheem Singh (nine times), POV (Point of View) (a work by Asheem Singh), American Dream (cross-referencing a subsequently deleted article about a piece of writing by Asheem Singh), University of East Anglia (for the purpose of adding Asheem Singh as an alumnus), List of University of Oxford people (for the purpose of adding Asheem Singh to the list), and two minor edits to Gordon Brown. I suspect that Ash [my italics] thecash is none other than Asheem Singh. The article would therefore be self-promotion. Oxonian2006 (talk) 21:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- He's in The Times at some length, and mentioned in the Daily Mail and Guardian and on the BBC. Notability, someone once said, is not subjective. Could you write an article about Scriven which would meet WP:V, WP:NPOV, et al? Probably. Does his fame rest on one event? Not in the usually understood sense. On the whole, I think I'd say the we should keep this, because there's a perfectly good article could be written about him by anyone who cared to put the work in.

- Speedy Keep - I wonder if anyone saying delete here bothered to look for references or read Wikipedia's general notability guidelines? I did a quick search and was able to find numerous articles solely about him that featured in national newspapaers as well as an article from Fifa that talks about him and the rest of his team. Clearly passes WP:BIO regardless of WP:ATHLETE or anything else. Additionally it would be possible to find many match reports etc that mention him briefly so WP:BLP1E is not an issue. I have added the references i found and those found by Angus McLellan to the article, which now merely needs writing up. Basement12 (T.C) 01:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cover the event, not the person. His involvement should be covered elsewhere. If it is going to be kept it needs serious work - and no-one will ever get onto it unless it is done while fresh in minds, because - and this may be recentism - the perceived notability factor will fade with time. --ClubOranjeTalk 06:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I am the original author of the Alter Aeon page. I wrote it up because I felt it was a significant MUD within the mudding community. historically and culturally. particularly because of its custom code base and longevity. dentinmud is an original code base just like merc, tiny, circle, or duki. It has been in existence for over 10 years, when 90% of MUDs die out within the first 1 to 5. After reviewing many other wiki pages for online games, I have come to believe that a likely reason that it has been particularly difficult to cite "well established" or "reliable" sources for this mud is because of its lack of commerical enterprise. Often times for-profit online games will pay in cash for third party journalists and game-reviews to review their mud and publish the findings. To my knowledge Alter Aeon does not operate in this manner, and thus in this circumstance, suffers.--Johnglenlock (talk) 05:44, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete: He is likely a top three candidate for winning this years X-Factor and the bookmakers rank him as such, he is also one of the few contestants with musical history, and to add to that has made it into the pages of one of our nations tabloid papers.

- He hasn't won (or placed in) X-Factor yet, so the first part's not applicable. (See WP:CRYSTAL.) Appearing in a tabloid isn't grounds for notability either -- it's not incompatible with notability, but it doesn't demonstrate it.

His video series in Youtube have achieved high ratings and a series of fans. In other words, you cannot judge the character by simply the failed internet movie, but rather the character is famous for his series in Youtube. In fact, I think that he has even started a political group in Belgium. In other words, I am not in favor of deleting this article.--MarshalN20 (talk) 21:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
SPEEDY DELETE Fictional character in a Youtube "series". Holy cow. wp:n at best, db:web would be better. PHARMBOY (TALK) 21:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Speedy Delete via WP:CSD#A7, non-notable web content. Should of just put a csd tag on it. RockManQ (talk) 00:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It should probably be noted that WP:CSD#A7 states that an article qualifys if it "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability". This article at least makes a claim to notability, weather it is valid or not. So speedy delete seems to not apply here. -Brougham96 (talk) 01:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
**comment A7 would apply (db-web), as the "claim" is referenced only on Youtube. There is no other claim or source, thus, speedy isn't required, but is a valid solution. PHARMBOY (TALK) 02:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep there is proof of notability regarding the many published books alone. Samples:
From http://www.gordonresearch.com/articles_various/bibliography.html (Bibliography by a Dr. Gordon (an MD) on alternative and dietary healing books):
"Harrison, Lewis. Helping Yourself with Natural Healing. (1988) Prentice Hall, Engelwood Cliffs, New Jersey 07632. ISBN (paperbound) 0-13-386731-5. This book written by a teacher and consultant in creative personal development, has put together a remarkable list of natural healing remedies for most common health problems, including: aroma therapy, Edgar Cayce remedies, visualization techniques, hydrotherapy; tissue salts and homeopathy."
From amazon and elsewhere:
"Healing Depression Naturally" (With an Introduction By Jack Canfield Co-Author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series)"
Canfield, who wrote the intro to one of these books is well known and notable, and i have certainly heard of these two books by Harrison (although i have not read them myself). They were pretty good sellers when they came out. Several people recommended the "Depression" one to me or said it had helped them. I have no brief for the guy, but he was spotted on my personal radar at least.
I agree with RHaworth, above, that it does look a bit spookish that this "Drew" fellow claims to be a student of Lewis Harrison; the whole thing does look like self-promotion to me -- BUT, i think the guy actually is notable. I suggest that someone work with "Drew" (or Harrison) to hammer out a briefer, less self-promotional entry.

- UPDATE I have cut the page by 6,500 bites (to about 2/3 of its length) and tagged it for facts at the rate of one tag per paragraph. I have put a notice to that effect on the page of the person who created the page. I will also attempt to contact the subject of this BLP and see if he can help supply reliable sources. I VASTLY prefer this sort of editing to automatic deletion and the assumption of self-promotion or bad faith. Because the rules of the AfD process allow me to remove the call for deletion if i significantly improve the article, i will try to do a bit of fact checking myself, and if i can find anything, i will remove the AfD tag. In the meantime, i hope that others may undertake at least a five-minute trip around the web to see if any notability tests are met. See the srticles talk page for google snippets.

I think "academic assistance", an inherently vague, generic term, is being used here as a euphemism coined for the purpose of hiding the purpose of this page, which I believe is to steer students to services that will do their homework for them. The term used in the article, "freelance academic assistance", returns no Google hits, making me more suspicious that the topic of this article is bogus. Also, the same author has now created an article on one of these companies, PENCAMP, making it appear more likely that this article is just part of an infrastructure for promoting it.

You may argue that last.fm data can be manipulated too, but there are hundreds of Wikipedia artist pages for country musicians who charted once back in the Eighties, and are currently listened to by 10 people on last.fm. They meet the notability criteria of Wikipedia but apparently no-one cares about them. Then this young band with a huge buzz around them should not be listed? This makes no sense.

Person who is only notable for one thing. Redddogg (talk) 02:15, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Not sure what exactly this "one thing" he is supposed to be notable for according to the nom, but this is not a BLP1E case. I assume the nom means is that the notability comes only from the photo-altering scandal. First, I don't think that is correct. There is substantial coverage of the subject prior to the scandal. He was a Pulitzer finalist, according to the ref in the article, and had won various photographic awards well before the scandal, see, for example, this article from 1998[13]. GoogleNews has 73 hits[14], may pre-dating the scandal. Even if one accepts the logic that most of his notability comes from the 2007 photo altering scandal, the scandal was primarily about him personally, so an article about the scandal (which is notable) would primarily cover Allan Detrich anyway. Nsk92 (talk) 02:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The article only talks about him being fired for using Photoshop on his newsphotos. Every day many people get fired from their jobs, but that is not material for an encyclopedia article because it has no lasting importance -- the information that someone got fired that is -- the event of being fired is important to the person and his or her family of course. Redddogg (talk) 04:25, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Nsk92 - there is substantial coverage of him before - apparently he is well known as a "storm chaser"[15] and other articles[16]. Not one event.John Z (talk) 04:31, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I hope that if the article is kept that some of this other information is included. Right now it reads like an attack article. (Not related to the AfD issue is that only other news photographers would care about the Photoshop issue. Making too much of it comes off as kind of geeky, IMO. Kind of like if someone got kicked out of the Star Trek Fan Club for using elf ears for Vulcan ears.) Redddogg (talk) 04:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 22:36, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - It says here that primary sources can be used as long as no analyses of them is made. For a fictional work, I think it is clear that the original source of the material is all that is needed if it is only described here (since there is no possibility of conflict when it comes to the accuracy of what is released by the original source, since it's clearly fictional). That said, without a reliable third-party source, it may not be notable enough for Wikipedia, and all analysis should be removed, leaving only the descriptive parts if it is kept. --Sydius (talk) 22:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I did a quick search and found a lot of sources from Ultima Online-affiliated web sites (sites at least partially dedicated to the subject), and, of course, primary sources for the information. I could find nothing from news.google.com or scholar.google.com, and I doubt there would be anything outside of the Ultima Online community regarding this subject.

- Delete as non-notable. None of these buildings are notable residences, or of significant architectural merit. I would probably support the merger or deletion of many other members of Category:Halls of residence in the United Kingdom for the same reason. An example of student halls which are notable would be Clifton Hill House (listed building, notable architect, notable former residents, TV filming location etc.). — mholland (talk) 17:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete that none of the buildings is individually notable is totally irrelevant. This is an articles about the collective residence halls. We need an argument about whether they are as a group significant. As for that, I think there is no encyclopedic information here, and a simple list of them should go somewhere else in the articles about the university. If anyone wants to know the details, the university has a website, with a map. And I agree with Mholland about the unsuitability of many of the other articles in the category.

- Keep The topic of fashionable clothing for cycling is a good one with a long history and we do not seem to have a good article upon the subject yet. A quick search indicates that there are sources documenting this topic over the years. The current title for the article is perhaps not the best but will do for now and can be readily changed as the topic is fleshed out. Per our editing policy, we should nuture this seedling rather than stamping upon it. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:18, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Every word of this article would need to be rewritten... so there's really nothing worth keeping. If someone wants to write a good article on bicycle clothing, fine... but there's nothing useful towards that here. Anyone who started would delete the current content anyway. --Rividian (talk) 12:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I consider this a useful start. I further note that the article was tagged for deletion within one minute of its creation and that this unhelpful action may have had a chilling effect upon the stone soup.Colonel Warden (talk) 14:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Both paragraphs in the article do nothing but describe a phrase apparently used just to promote some blog. Those would not be present in a proper article. If the article can be improved, improve it... but vague claims of possible improvement aren't useful, improvement or evidence of sources is useful. --Rividian (talk) 14:59, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The article is coming along nicely. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not really... only one of the sources even uses the term "bicycle chic" at all, and it's not in the context of bicycle clothing. As constituted this AFD is a defense of an article on the term "bicycle chic" as a notable term for fashionable bicycle clothing... and there's still not a single reliable source on that. To keep the article now, based on the sources so far, is basically to permit original research, using a few sources about bicycle clothing, that don't use the term "bicycle chic", to have the Wikipedia article claim "bicycle chic" is some popular term. --Rividian (talk) 12:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There are multiple sources using the term and we have other synonyms such as cycle chic. In any case, the exact phrase is unimportant per WP:DICDEF. The popularity of the topic is also unimportant per WP:N: Notability is distinct from "fame," "importance," or "popularity,". WP:OR is also inapplicable as everything has been drawn from sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:59, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure where you're getting that the exact phrase is unimportant... this article is claiming to be about a specific, established term, so the exact phrase is very important. If the article is just about the concept of Bicycle fashion, that's another story, but the article should be moved there. "Bicycle chic" seems to be a proprietary term promoted by blogs, but "Bicycle fashion" is probably a legitimate, encyclopedic topic. --Rividian (talk) 13:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I found that we already have another article upon the same topic: Cycle chic. Since the text of that article was more developed, I have been bold and spared us further effort by merging in the content from the article under consideration here. This discussion may now be closed as moot. Colonel Warden (talk) 14:03, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I wouldn't object to closing this and redirecting to Cycle chic, they are undeniably duplicate articles and Cycle chic looks better. But as the whole "chic" thing, as far as I can tell, always traces back to self-promoting blogs... I still think the article should be Bicycle fashion. --Rividian (talk) 14:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:BIO. I had gone through the history of the article an noticed there were other editors that questioned her notability. Rockfang (talk) 01:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator Withdraw. Someone can close this.--Rockfang (talk) 06:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The subject may qualify for inclusion for two reasons: her books have won awards, and she took a controversial position on Pokemon. OTOH, that latter controversy has made the biography the target of Pokemon fans. It's been quiet recently, but it has been the target of BLP issues in the past. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep author of books, several (passing) news hits, some notoriety from the Pokemon thing. JJL (talk) 01:20, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure "author of books" is a valid reason to keep an article on an author.--Rockfang (talk) 01:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There are plenty of sources for her, and reviews for her books, among 303 gnews hits.AUTHOR'S SUCCESS A LONG TIME COMING (from 1995). New York Times review of book which won a Caldecott Honor, this about another book that won another national award,another NYT review (capsule), p.392, unfortunately restricted, almost certainly is a bio of her in Black Authors and Illustrators of Books for Children and Young Adults By Barbara Thrash (from alphabetical order, her presence in the index, and the 'see also' at the bottom of the the page linked). John Z (talk) 02:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Very strong keep as winner of several major awards, with hundreds of relevant gnews items. from dozens of major reliable sources. Can;'t imagine why the nominator didn't bother to do even the most trivial of basic searches. Please see the WTR:AFD for my suggestion of how to prevent this in the future. we need to switch the Wikipedian reflex on seeing an inadequate article from "how can this be deleted" to "how can this be fixed" -- we already have just that as WP:Deletion policy, not we need to change our practices. But then, the editors writingthe article didn't seem to have considered the possibility of general notability either. DGG (talk) 05:11, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I added some references. A claim that the festival is "better than Cannes" is an assertion of notability, whether or not it is true. --Eastmain (talk) 00:34, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I followed up on Eastmain's work, expanding the article a bit and both wikifying and adding cites. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Not exactly a great advert for Swansea ("the glitzy awards ceremony … will be hosted by pop duo The Cheeky Girls"), but press coverage and a BBC article ought to be decisive (I mean the one in external links, not the one in the footnote, that's more a program description by the festival organiser).
