- Weak keep Honestly, there aren't the sources in the article at present nor from a simple Google search to keep, but 1.) I just don't like the idea of deleting articles about singles from notable artists as they can be navigated and 2.) I really don't see why redirect isn't a viable option. If the article can't be written up to snuff (and I reckon it can't), then redirect is a legitimate option, especially considering that this is linked through a navbox. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:02, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Classics (Ratatat album). Considering the one person who seemed to be opposed to redirecting is now in favour of it (or at least more so than outright deletion), that's probably the best option, even if it means this AfD has been a bit of a pointless exercise HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:10, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep—This seems to be discussed to a reasonable if not overwhelming extent in a variety of reliable sources. I added a bunch of them to the article, although I couldn't make much of the first talk page source, which doesn't seem to mention XBoard at all. The newsbank search has five hits, from which there is one I could use.

The result was no consensus. There's no doubting that the article as it is is an essay, not an encyclopaedia article. Whether that means it should be deleted and whether the subject is sufficiently notable for an article, it seems nobody can agree on. Thus, no consensus, I'm afraid folks.

An article on this subject was previously deleted at this location, but this version looks quite different. However, this still appears to be a WP:OR essay that appears heavily based on one source (i.e., the Dixon book which was the main source used for the first incarnation of this article; I am unsure if some of the content is actually a copyvio). Much as the previously deleted version, it looks like an attempt to expand a dictionary definition with a lot of vague opinion/OR and with very little actual coherent encyclopedic content.

- We created the page for a university assignment, we did try to find as many different sources as possible for this to increase the level of credibility but there is not much out there to refer to. The book itself has loads of reference within it. We split up the section to research and as we only had to write 3000 obviously we have not covered the whole topic area we were told to just focus on the histroy and introduction into the subject area. I have stated this on the talk page for Digitale Performance so anyone feels free to add contributions. I understand that it is one source and a definition widely put but like I said we had a word limit so could not cover all topics. --Alannamm90 (talk) 12:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)— Alannamm90 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Delete per nom reasons. It's definitely an WP:OR essay. To Alannamm90, I heavily recommend that you talk to your professor about not assigning any projects that involve creating pages on wikipedia, at least not creating any without the article going through the Afc process first. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from contributing but not everything needs to be here on the wiki and sourcing doesn't really disguise that this is still an original research essay. At least putting it through the Afc process would help save our time and yours if it's found to be something that doesn't need to be on Wikipedia. (That way we won't have to continue deleting it if it's unencyclopedic and you won't waste your time re-adding it if it's found to be unencyclopedic in any format.) I also heavily recommend that your professor look into using Wikia since that's a site where you can create your own wikis without having to go through Wikipedia and it won't get (potentially) continuously deleted. I don't mean to sound harsh, I'm just trying to save everyone time and effort. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:19, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
- Comment: Here are links to Wikia and to the Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation. Again, I sort of discourage making pages on wikipedia purely for grade purposes because 1) it can potentially be deleted, causing you to re-add it (and potentially get blocked for repeatedly adding it if an admin believes you're being disruptive) and 2) many people will edit the piece, meaning that you might lose grade points for something done by someone else. Again, not trying to be hostile, I'm just trying to let you know that adding pages for homework on wikipedia without at least trying to do it via the Afc article wizard isn't really a good idea. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:23, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
- Additional: I found the page of the professor who is assigning his student with the projects of creating pages on Wikipedia, if any admin wants to discuss this with him: User:ToniSant. I left a message about going through Wikia or Afc, but this is something that really should go through an admin or someone on a little higher authority than I am (which is no authority, lol). Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
- Additional additional: Just to let guys know, the previous delete was for a page added by last semester's students back in 2010. This article was created by a new batch of students, so odds are the page was written differently than the last version. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:25, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
- Further Comment : The article has many problems but I suggest it should be reduced to a stub rather than deleted. There's already an article on Digital theatre, which is actually a subset or type of Digital Performance, and some of the material on that page would actually be better placed on the new article page and/or cross referenced from one article to the other. There are also many other sources about this subject, but the creators of the page failed to cite these properly or understand the conventions of writing an article for Wikipedia, which is what I believe has led to the proposed AfD we're discussing. Digital Performance is a notable subject that deserves its own article, and certainly fits the guidelines/criteria for notability on Wikipedia. While I respect the PoV of Deletionists, I happen to be an Inclusionist! :-) --ToniSant (talk) 12:06, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: To whom it may concern, I am the one who created this article. I don't believe this article was "deleted in the past" as this article discusses the official release of The Black Album, not the demo version which was never released. The article also discusses the album Come On Feel the Dandy Warhols which is the first official compilation released by the band. I hope that adds some clarification to any confusion surrounding said article. If not, please allow me to propose a serious question here and I would really like a qualified answer.

Wikipedia is not a list. The WP:SALAT guideline suggests that Wikipedia lists should not be too broad or too specific.

- Comment This article was tagged for G11 speedy by the nominator while it was being actively edited by its author.[1] As CSD is a different standard than notability, and the article did make an assertion of notability and had been further expanded and contained sourcing, User:Hullaballoo Wolfowitz declined the speedy.[2] The nominator then brought the article to AFD for discussion,[3] User:EEng re-tagged it for speedy 38 minutes later,[4] perhaps unaware that an earier G11 speedy had been declined. Seeing that it had been a second time tagged for the same speedy... and AFTER it had been sent to AFD... I declined the second speedy. Note: While not in English, there do appear to be a number of sources dealing with this person, although they are in the Romanian language.[5] So if it can be determined that this person is notable to Romania through Romanian coverage meeting the WP:GNG, that is good enough for en.Wikipdedia, and any concern with tone and sourcing can be addressed with regular editing. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)0[reply]
- Yeah, I didn't notice the earlier speedy, sorry. Obviously it's a bad idea to keep re-adding speedies (on purpose, anyway) but I do have a question: as a technical matter, is there some provision forbidding speedies while the article is at AfD? I'm asking because I'm guessing you, of all people, would know of such a provision if it exists. EEng (talk) 11:14, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Actually, a lot of those sources off the Google search linked above are in Turkish.

- Ah, there ya go, I missed it: For a while, she took a break from modeling and moved to Istanbul to be part of Beyaz Show, a famous entertainment show in Turkey[2]. Also, she shined in the spot of cameras for Kara Murat, a famous Turkish TV series where she was cast in the lead role, playing the influencing wife of a greek general , always threatening the life of the Sultan. Bios of TV stars are usually kept around these parts... Carrite (talk) 15:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- First of all, I think we can do better than to trust the article to say accurate things, when we're discussing the very rationale for its existence - it's like trusting Philip Morris to tell you that cigarettes are good for the lungs. Here's Today's Zaman: "Director Chris Roche is currently shooting a follow-up to the 1970s’ historical saga “Kara Murat” -- made famous by the lead character played by Cüneyt Arkın -- in the Black Sea city of Trabzon using new filmmaking technology. Titled 'Kara Murat: Mora’nın Ateşi' (Kara Murat: The Fire of Morea), the new installment stars Nefise Karatay, Bahadır Sarı, Tatiana Marinescu, Hakan Ural, Kerem Alışık, İlker İnanoğlu and Suna Selen. Release date: December 2011". Meaning she is not in the lead role, meaning the show is not yet released, meaning we don't know if she will get any reviews, meaning the article lies through it teeth, meaning wikipedia is used for promoting this person. As for "to be part of Beyaz Show, a famous entertainment show in Turkey" - cut out the chin music, and what you get is that she had a cameo, maybe even a dancing girl routine, on some talk show - unless she was the interviewer, or was herself interviewed on each episode of that show. As a general observation, an actress who leaves Romania for Turkey is not really a success story; the thing to do is to head west, my daughter.
- That said: as a native Romanian speaker (something the AfD nominator himself is), I can tell you the following: the Romanian sources that showed up until I got tired of googling are all tabloids and gossip columns, with relevant titles such as "Tatiana Marinescu - Nude and without Inhibitions", "TM Will Undress for the Animals" (meaning for an animal welfare cause, but so very ironic...), "TM Poses with Eva Mendes", "TM Says No to 30,000 Dollar because Catwalk Located in Club", "TM Says: Bastian Schweinsteiger Enjoys Flirt, but Has Girlfriend", "Man who Obsesses about Stars Makes another Hit: TM", "TM to Model a New Pair of Shoes", "TM, Sexy Vegeterian"... But don't take my word for it, restrict your search and try google translate - see if there's anything from the professional field of acting in your first 50,000 results, and I'll change my vote.

- Comment I did find this, and a lot of unrelated software with the Genoa name (Samsung). I get a sneaky suspicion, however, that there are many more articles on it, but in more technical publications. Withholding !vote for now. And yes, as it stands, the current article is a mess, but that isn't an issue for AFD. Dennis Brown (talk) 22:45, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep There is a strong secondary source now, and I think we can find a couple more, but there are so many other products with similar names, it is very time consuming to filter through. There IS however, a tremendous amount of primary source references than can be added. Obviously these do nothing to demonstrate notability, but they will be useful in providing references for non-contentious facts. The article as it is, well, it is a complete mess and needs attention, which is of course, is not a reason to delete an article, but instead to improve it. In short, it passes the 'sniff' test, and has at least one very significant and strong 3rd party reference now, is widely used and has been for many years. I put it on my page, so if it is kept, I will take the time to properly research and rewrite the entire article myself. I can see why it was nominated, but after some serious digging, I think it is worth salvaging. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:31, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge (Temporarily) to Assassin's Creed: Revelations - I know WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not valid point, but looking at Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel) & Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, I would sway in favor of keeping it a separate article and adding it to the {Assassin's Creed} template. Of course, as an unreleased book, there is not much to say about it... hm. My initial thought was a merge with the game it is based on, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, until the book is released, then it can be split like the previous ones in the series. I would, however, not be too surprised is consensus emerged to also merge the other books into their respective games' article, and might even support such an idea, but this AfD is probably not the place to discuss it.

- Keep College football players are notable under WP:GNG if they have received significant, non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media. Mills was the QB at Penn State, one of the top programs in college football, from 2001 to 2004. A search of Google News Archive reveals hundreds of articles with non-trivial articles (i.e., more than a stat line or passing references in game coverage) about Mills. Examples include: (1) 'General Mills' Is in Command; As a Redshirt Freshman Quarterback, Urbana High Graduate Guides Resurgent Penn State, The Washington Post, Nov. 2001; (2) Mills: A moving target, His option skill displeases defenses, but he accepts the risk, Philadelphia Inquirer, Sept. 2002; (3) Freshman QB 101: Zack Mills describes difficult transition process from high school to college, Altoona Mirror, Aug. 2010; (4) Mills can't continue to go it alone, The Morning Call, Sept. 2003; (5) Freshman quarterback is growing up fast, York Daily Record, Oct. 2001; (6) Lions Should Stick With Mills, Times Leader, Oct. 2001; (7) Mills sets record for freshman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Sept. 2001; (8) Paterno: Mills will probably start: The Nittany Lions' talented freshman QB ..., Reading Eagle, Nov. 2001; (9) Zack isn't milling around the interview room, Reading Eagle, Sept. 2004; (10) Mills Shows Cool Hand in Leading Lions, Times Leader, Oct. 2001; (11) Mills runs, catches, throws TDs to rout Zips, ESPN, Sept. 2004; (12) Struggling Penn State gets a lift from Mills, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nov. 2003; (13) Mills' slump is mystifying, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Sept. 2003; (14) Lions put classy end on tough season, Senior QB Zack Mills got an emotional send-off after he and the offense pounded the Spartans, Philadelphia Inquirer, Nov. 2004; (15) Zack Mills leads Lions to another comeback win, Reading Eagle, Nov. 2001; (16) Penn State's Mills may miss Ohio State game with concussion, Associated Press, Oct. 2004; (17) Mills will be tested to see if he can play, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oct. 2004; (18) Mills still coping with the catcalls, Reading Eagle, Nov. 2004; (19) Stock Is Falling; Zack Mills, The Washington Post, Sept. 2004; (20) Mills gives Lions best shot to win, Reading Eagle, Sept. 2004; (21) Wounded pride for Lions QB now faced with being replaced, Philadelphia Inquirer, Nov. 2004; (22) Mills finds his past exploits a comfort amid struggle, venom of present, The Morning Call, Nov. 2004; (23) Mills might get last laugh at Penn State, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Aug. 2004; (24) Mills hopes to lay groundwork for Penn State's revival, Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 2004; (25) Mills Shows His Big Play Versatility, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Sept. 2004; (26) Mills Does It All for Penn State, The New York Times, Sept. 2004; (27) Tragedy mars off-season for Penn State's Zack Mills, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Aug. 2003; (28) Knee injury alters Mills' perspective, approach to game, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oct. 2003; (29) Mills has new grip on offense, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Sept. 2003; (30) Mills' Arm Feeling Healthy, Centre Daily Times, Apr. 2008; (31) Mills has zero tolerance for committing turnovers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Sept. 2002; (32) Former Lion Mills finds life after football: After searching for a team for two years, former QB went to work in business world, Knight-Ridder/Tribune Business News, July 2007; (33) With coaching job, Mills gains new perspective, Philadelphia Inquirer, April 2006; (34) Ex-Penn St. QB Mills joins Temple staff, Philadephia Inquirer, Feb. 2006; Mills just wants another shot: Former PSU quarterback didn't last very long with the Redskins, York Sunday News, June 2005; (35) Mills' Career Has Emotional Ending, Centre Daily Times, Nov. 2004; (36) Mills Named Senior MVP at Banquet, Centre Daily Times, Dec. 2004.

- Comment Isn't he a bit of a run of the mill college player? Many QBs from a few years ago have several articles from papers in their home markets, but does that really qualify them as notable? Go Phightins! (talk) 02:49, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply We don't assess notability by our personal view of whether we think a player was "run of the mill." It's the nature and extent of the coverage that matters. Here, the coverage is extraordinarily deep and wide, including stories about him in some of the country's most significant major metropolitan newspapers, such as: Associated Press wire service, The New York Times (3rd in circulation), The Washington Post (5th in circulation), The Philadelphia Inquirer (13th in circulation), Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (31st in circulation), and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (35th in circulation). While there's no fixed rule that major college starting QBs are notable, starting QBs for major college football teams typically receive a lot of news coverage -- far more than players at any position.

The result was no consensus. It's the classic argument between a short burst of media attention potentially satisfying the GNG and the lack of sustained coverage, potentially falling afoul of NOTNEWS.

- Contested, my ass. Its a legitimate use. I am re-adding it, and I rarely add the tag to anything. Why? Because the article is clearly subject to additional improvement through the adding of sourcing. There are many sources and editorials that discuss this little 'ol cat. Alerting editors that the article can be improved through rescue processes is legitimate.--Milowent • hasspoken 06:24, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So you're saying that the article needs references? Because I don't think anyone is arguing that; no amount of sources one way or another is going counters the arguments expressed here, since it was not about lack of sourcing. The rescue tag's purpose is for when the reasons deletion proposed can probably be countered not simply because an article could use more references. The other uses of the rescue template, as listed on the ARS page, clearly don't apply here either.

- Ending in "keep" doesn't mean that ARS has fulfilled its self-professed goal of improving articles; it just means either that notability was established (at which ARS sometimes succeeds) or that ARS members voted as a bloc.
AFD is not a vote. Interesting that you say this when you don't subscribe to it yourself. "At the AFD, most stated the article should be kept, not deleted/redirected. Follow consensus" and "Most people have already stated the article should be kept." Your comments here are based on the number of votes, not on the strength of the votes.

- So you're saying that the article needs references? Because I don't think anyone is arguing that; no amount of sources one way or another is going counters the arguments expressed here, since it was not about lack of sourcing. The rescue tag's purpose is for when the reasons deletion proposed can probably be countered not simply because an article could use more references. The other uses of the rescue template, as listed on the ARS page, clearly don't apply here either. If you think the article could be improved by the addition of more sourcing, feel free to add the appropriate tag.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Contested, my ass. Its a legitimate use. I am re-adding it, and I rarely add the tag to anything. Why? Because the article is clearly subject to additional improvement through the adding of sourcing. There are many sources and editorials that discuss this little 'ol cat. Alerting editors that the article can be improved through rescue processes is legitimate.--Milowent • hasspoken 06:24, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - User:Yaksar, please discontinue removing the rescue tag from the article. Please read the information on the Article Rescue Squadron page regarding removal of rescue tags – "It is unhelpful, and possibly disruptive, to remove the rescue tag before a deletion discussion is complete." Also please read the notability guideline section WP:NTEMP, Notability is not temporary, "Notability is not temporary: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." As you're the one that nominated this article for deletion, it appears that you're trying to game the system to obtain the result for the article you desire, to have it deleted. Thank you for your consideration. Northamerica1000(talk) 13:09, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, my lack of arguing at this point is not giving in, I just don't care enough to fight a flock of misinformed people. You are wrong, plain and simple, about the use of the rescue tag. Even if this article definitely should be kept, it does not mean the use of the rescue tag is justifiable. The tag's purpose is to bring editors who can help improve the deficiencies given in the deletion argument. You've stated that you put the rescue tag on to alert ARS members that an article you feel is notable is up for deletion. That is misuse. If an article meets your opinion of the notability guidelines, but consensus is trending towards deleting it, well, that just sucks for you, unfortunately. You can't just call in a group of people to come !vote on it. That's canvassing. If you wanted to address a specific issue that the deletion nomination was covering, that's a different scenario. But that was not the case here. Tschuss.--Yaksar (let's chat) 05:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Although reasonable coverage exists that indicate subject passes WP:GNG, the determining weight of this AfD would be more prudently judged by WP:NNEWS as the cat's notability credentials (so far at least) strictly stem from its singular event. Under those criteria, the subject has not satisfied and in all likelihood will never satisfy WP:EFFECT and WP:PERSISTENCE, and enduring notability is a specific inclusion criteria of WP:NOT#NEWS. This article should be deleted because of the failure of those policies, but re-created in case of a future event that causes a lasting impact. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 09:34, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Both WP:EFFECT and WP:PERSISTENCE are satisfied. One documented effect was the creation of an online campaign involving many thousands of people. And the coverage spanned several months, so demonstrating some persistence. Warden (talk) 11:40, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:EFFECT specifically refers to a notable lasting effect and surely a subsequent online campaign with involvement by an arbitrary number of people does not qualify. WP:PERSISTENCE stresses coverage outside of the subject's immediate newsworthy period to determine lasting significance. All the current sources are merely reporting the event as it happened, during the subject's news cycle. They do not qualify. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 12:38, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This is a list 101 classic songs that all Japanese people know, mostly nursery songs. It's definitely notable, because these songs were chosen by the government as the best examples of Japanese cultural heritage for mothers to teach their children. A corresponding article would be, e.g. List of nursery rhymes, but that list is not really maintainable, whereas this one is because the songs were specifically selected by the government as valuable. This article will prove helpful to anyone with an interest in this subject and can be a useful starting point for further research, which is the reason most people use Wikipedia anyway. BTW, this is a little off-topic, but I spent several hours translating this article from its corresponding article on the Japanese Wikipedia and I don't like that this Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars fella has tried to delete it three times now through various means rather than simply asking me for help improving it.

- Keep. The article has existed since 2007 on Japanese Wikipedia and is considered noteworthy there. The topic meets Wikipedia's notability guideline: it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, including two Japanese newspapers. The topic is relatively obscure to an English-speaking audience, but does not fall under any of the suggested reasons for deletion. As per alternatives to deletion, if the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion.--Jonathan Drain (talk) 02:31, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

English writer who currently doesn't meet our criteria for including biographical articles. The article does provide two references but one is to her website and the other is to a short "About the author" blurb in a magazine she writes for. I am unable to find any material about her written by third-party sources. The claim that "her style has come to be known as 'Severesque'" is at best dubious. Note that if kept, the article also needs to be cleaned up for copyright issues. It's not speedy-deletion worthy but some parts are way too close to the original source.

A fun show and not exactly along the same reality show lines as Bachelor or Jersey Shore, but still a reality show.

The result was delete. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everybody that AfD is a discussion and not a vote. I afforded no weight whatsoever to rationales consisting of little more than "not notable" without any sort of intelligent elaboration; I also discounted Dream Focus' "I see nothing wrong with the sources provided" as it fails to address the concerns raised by others about the independence and/or reliability of the sources. As such, the only strong arguments are those which assert that there is no coverage in reliable sources, and thus the result has to be delete.

The result was no consensus. Good points are made by those advocating deletion, such as the crystal-ball nature of much of the information, but their opponents make an equally valid argument that the series has a host of notable cast-members and that a TV series with that cast would be highly unlikely not be notable. Perhaps best to leave this for a few weeks to see if anything more becomes known about it, and renominate if it seems to have been forgotten about. Right now, there's no consensus either way in my opinion. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possible hoax, definitely a copyvio. Majority of the text is lifted verbatim from Monocle (2007 magazine), with only the names changed. Other parts are lifted from Acne Paper, again with the names changed. As this article is completely unreferenced, checking the references in the original articles shows that the claims are indeed true for Monacle and Acne, but not for Arte Libertino. For example, this quote which I removed from the article (Susannah Frankel of The Independent writes "There is an organic and authentic quality to Arte Libertino, a sense of it extending above and beyond an obviously commercially viable concern, which is genuinely inspiring.") was actually about Acne Paper, not Arte Libertino - here's the original article with the real quote.

- Comment: As the admin who declined the speedy delete request, I feel I should point out that I declined it under the "hoax" criteria because it didn't read like a blatant hoax when I read over it. Indeed, Arte Libertino does indeed appear to be a real magazine. How notable is it? I won't go into that. Is the article very poorly written? Yes, it is -- the copyvio from other articles (which I'll admit, I missed) should be enough to attest to that. But the magazine itself does appear to be real, which means the entire article isn't a hoax, and the copyvios can be fixed, if someone wants to spend the time to do it. Mikaey, Devil's advocate 00:29, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete. I believe this qualifies as a blatant hoax even though a Web site (not a physical magazine; I can find no evidence that there is any such magazine) by the name of Arte Libertino exists. Of the three images currently in the article, the first obviously depicts faked mockups, the second either may be of the same nature or may be an image of an unrelated magazine (the words visible on the left-hand page are French, not Spanish), and the third is a spread from an issue of Conservator magazine—see pages 3 & 4 of this PDF. The ISSN given in the infobox appears to be fake, and nothing else of substance in the article appears to be correct, as the nominator has stated. I'm off to Commons to nominate the Conservator copyvio for deletion. Deor (talk) 00:36, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep. A sensible dab page, based on an obvious search term, and with an inherent ambiguity (is it scholarship from within Golden-Age Muslim culture but unrelated to Islam, or scholarship based on Islamic religion, or scholarship by Muslims? -- the first two of those relate to different clusters of articles, the last to a variety of lists). -- 202.124.73.30 (talk) 02:15, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem there is not the ambiguity of the phrase "Muslim scholar" but of the word "Muslim" in that phrase. The exact same thing could be said about "Jewish scholar", "Buddhist scholar", "Hindu scholar", "Chinese scholar", "Brazilian scholar", "Canadian scholar", "Republican scholar", "Psychotic scholar", Asian-American scholar", etc. Furthermore, you could substitute "academic" or "specialist" or " expert" (or even "hobbyist") for "scholar" in any of those. Do you see where that becomes a problem? bd2412 T 15:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but "Muslim Scholar" is a little different, because it refers to the cultural phenomenon called the Islamic Golden Age as well as to the adjectival sense you describe. Consequently there is no obvious redirect target. -- 202.124.72.216 (talk) 23:13, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Many religions, ethnic groups, nations, and cultures have had periods from which particularly proud scholarship arose. There is nothing special about Islam in that regard. The lack of an obvious redirect target is of no more significance than the fact that there is no obvious redirect target for purple flower. Any flower that is purple can be described as a purple flower. bd2412 T 23:44, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- But the article under discussion isn't about purple flowers, but about a topic where the adjective is ambiguous (it can refer to the religion of the scholar or to a particular cultural milieu). It is therefore analogous to, say, Jasmine (disambiguation), and satisfies the criteria at WP:Disambiguation for creating a dab page. -- 202.124.73.15 (talk) 09:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, that is a function of the ambiguity of the word "Muslim", not of the phrase "Muslim scholar" (or of possible substitutions like "expert", "student", "researcher", "teacher", etc.). bd2412 T 15:59, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I believe the category works better to link them together. A Category 4 isn't notable on it's own. Unlike Category 5 hurricanes (which are the top of a scale and notable in that regard) and major hurricanes (which is a broad group of strong hurricanes), there isn't anything objectively special about Category 4 hurricanes. That is, none of the information in the article is actual limited to a Category 4 hurricane. It's all generic info for major hurricanes, sans what is derived from the Atlantic hurricane best track. If there was an independent agency listing the Category 4 hurricanes and providing some statistical analysis, as well as more information on the structure of Category 4 hurricanes (as opposed to Cat. 3 or 5), I'd be inclined to keep, but as far as I know, that information is simply not available. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually, it doesn't. The list contains no additional information than what is found in Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale or is a synthesis of data from the article itself. It includes no objective studies or articles on Category 4 hurricanes themselves. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- But I was comparing the list to the category and not other articles. Sure the general information on Cat 4 storms is found in the general articles but the list of hurricanes in chronological (not alphabetic) order with additional info like location of landfall and minimum central pressure is, as far as I can tell, unique to this list. There is no requirement that lists contain information not present in other articles just that they present it in a different and useful way. IMO, this list meets those criteria by doing things a category can't. The only concern would be that it is more logical to group storms by year rather than by strength since Cat 4 storms are rarely considered as a separate group. This argument has some force, but is not dispositive since wikipedia is not paper and we can list them both ways. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Ultimately, Eluchil404 hits the problem with this nomination straight in the head: it assumes that for the list to exist, it must provide some sort of scientific analysis on Category 4 tropical cyclones. (In fact, I posit that such an analysis would be better placed in an article about major hurricanes.) That level of analysis is not necessary by any means, as the additional chronological and intensity information provided by the list make it superior to a category, at least from a navigational perspective.

I admit that I am not an expert in the field, but I cannot find any evidence here of the sort of widespread enough publication that would pass WP:PROF. Where are the independent sources? - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 14:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Edited 3 books (and one special journal issue: see [23]' also 50 peer reviewed publications, many in IEEE/ACM publications. One of them has 240 Google Scholar citations and 118 in Scopus (the usual 2:1 proportion) , "Feature interaction: a critical review and considered forecast" by Caldera, Kolbergb, Magillb, & Reiff-Marganiec in Computer Networks Volume 41, Issue 1, 15 January 2003, Pages 115-141; another "Feature interaction in policies", by Reiff-Marganiec & Turner in Computer Networks Volume 45, Issue 5, 5 August 2004, Pages 569-584 has 49 GS / 22 Scopus. (overall h=15). Probably enough to show expertise in the subject. Did the nom look at the list of publication--it's linked in the article. It's certainly "widespread" enough, though that's not the usual criterion (rather we usually judge by the citations, and I think they're borderline, but the books add to it.) DGG ( talk ) 17:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I glanced down the list. Unfortunately, as you say, having published lots of articles is fairly meaningless (especially in a discipline such as computer science, where journal quality has been criticised before) although I agree that the books are useful in that regard.

- Comparison of HTML5 and Flash (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
This WP:ESSAY is WP:ORIGINAL research and a WP:CONTENTFORK of the Adobe Flash and HTML 5 articles. The subject is of questionable WP:NOTABILITY and is comparing apples to oranges (HTML+CSS+JS != HTML 5), as evidenced by the lede statement: "HTML5 can sometimes be used as an alternative to Adobe Flash". There are obvious WP:NPOV issues, no doubt due to WP:COI of the editors and with even Adobe having given up on Flash (at least on mobile and TV) in favour of HTML 5, it's unlikely anyone would write a "HTML vs Flash" article today. All in all Wikipedia would be better off if this article were deleted as it is not encyclopedic and more appropriate for someone's personal blog. -- samj inout 13:38, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This article was previously nominated for deletion under a different name and the result was no consensus: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/HTML5_vs._Flash -- samj inout 13:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I disagree with the above claim to delete it. I think the statement that websites have started using HTML5 instead of flash is a neutral one, unlike what you claim, simply because it is true (as an example, Youtube that was traditionally all flash, has started to provide HTML5 players for devices that don't support flash). I came to wikipedia searching for a comparision between the two technologies, and have found this article very helpful. It would be a shame to delete it and not have this comparision, especially when in the tech world, people compare the two technologies every day. - Dasarp
- Delete – I agree with samj. This is a terrible article, despite all of its sources. Any of the (little) good information can be incorporated into the HTML 5 and Flash articles in a comparison section. This is nothing more than an essay, and a poorly written one at that. Particularly bad is the testing section with no explanation of the testing parameters (treating CPU usage on a single, undefined machine as a value that actually matters and comparing undefined HTML5 and Flash files without even the assertion that they are somewhat comparable animations). —danhash (talk) 14:27, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep — I'd say some rewriting is necessary to make it more appropriate for wiki, and some sections need removal/addition, but it's sourced, and I'd say is notable in terms of current important browser technologies. ContinueWithCaution (talk) 17:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep This article contains a significant amount of well source information which is encyclopedic in nature. In the long term, I think that this article should be summed up and merged into HTML5 as a comparison to existing technologies section. Jncraton (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into HTML5. It's a wp:Notable debate (which I can't find an actual policy about) concerning notable technologies, but it's currently a bit too close to violating NOT#FAQ. --Northernhenge (talk) 19:07, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notability was clearly established in last year's Afd and notability is not temporary. As Lambiam said in that discussion, "merging the content of this article into a specific choice between HTML5 and Adobe Flash would give [the comparison] unduly localized prominence." Afd is not for cleanup: delete the original research. There's a lot of well-referenced content. Participate in discussion to reach neutral POV. What does the eventual resolution of the conflict (i.e. Adobe backing down) have to do with the topic's relevance? Flash isn't gone, and the comparison still belongs in its own article for now. If Flash were gone, maybe it could be moved there instead, but let's not write history before it happens. Thinking from an historical perspective may be useful, though: it's clear that the article doesn't need so much detail about performance, for example. --Pnm (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, i.e., rename/rewrite. The 'Flash versus HTML 5 controversy was (and still is) an important phenomenon (in its context) with lasting effects. It as such is worthy of a dedicated article that could cover the history and context of the controversy, and, potentially, discuss the merits of some of the accusations expressed by some parties involved in this controversy. Several of these aspects are covered in the current article, but needs further work. The article is slightly biased in favor of Flash, but the original motivation for deletion, however, is clearly biased in favor of HTML 5. A good article on this controversy should be neutral, as should be any evaluation of it content. --Wouter VdB (talk) 21:08, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article fits the definition of "non-verifiable" to the letter, and in addition there already exist multiple several-year old templates that make note of this fact, yet nothing has changed. I should also add that the text of the article itself is questionable at points and seems to be rather inconsistent at others. The multiple-year-old major-problem templates, combined with the text of the article itself and the utter lack of references (and I tried to find some, just in case) make this article either the very first or the very second article that I've ever nominated for deletion, and I've been a wikiaddict for a long time. If I had to guess, I'd say this is the first time.

Internet Service Provider and voice/data product company with limited claims to notability per WP:ORG or WP:GNG. Current content of the article is a company history. None of the listed sources mention the company except two related to some of its recent acquisitions. This piece from The Oakland Press provides some depth, but it amounts to local coverage about the company, mostly relating to its acquisitions. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 09:43, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The substantial majority of the "references" don't even mention the company, let alone support the statements in the article to which they are attached. Of the three that do mention the company, one is a wayback machine archived copy of an advertising page, one is a press release on a press release publishing website (the site's own description of its service:"we’ll help you optimize your press release with the goal of being picked up by major search engines"), and the other is the Oakland Press article mentioned above. I concur with I Jethrobot's assessment of that article. My own searches have failed to produce any independent coverage at all: that one local newspaper article seems to be it.

- Comment - My opinion upon reading this article and checking the references also leans towards 'delete', but I worry about being too hasty. It could be argued that this article has enough EV to be worth keeping around, especially since it's not like publishing costs are an issue. If this article read like an advertisement rather than a history lesson, I would strongly support its removal or total overhaul, but the style is pretty much what one expects to find in an average wikipedia article. The historical information about the company just might be useful in the future to someone who might google "123net" or type that into wikipedia in the future, whether its for some sort of research, for legal reasons, or anything else. I agree, though, that there are major problems with the references (like #6, which is a link to a "download linux free" page and isn't really a reference at all) and that the other issues regarding notability have merit, which is why I am withholding a direct 'vote' and instead voicing this comment. Spiral5800 (talk) 13:15, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Feel free to renominate after a suitable grace period in the hope of getting a more lively discussion, but as it is, no counter-argument has been made to the argument that the events are notable by virtue of the participants' notability. However, the lack of a counter-argument to an argument that does not necessarily reflect consensus or guidelines is not in itself sufficient for a "keep" result.

I also find it curious that "UK Web Magazine" is unavailable on the web. Finally, you say that information is forthcoming. Well, I think we can wait. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If you want, you can request that this page be put on your userpage. When good sources are available that support the notability of the artist, it can then be rewritten on the article mainspace. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 02:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- According to the latest publicity, the release of the album is scheduled for 18 November 2011. I suggest userfying this article until that happens and there is some independent coverage of the release. As a release involving an otherwise notable artist, some content about the new record will be appropriate either as a separate article or as a section of Pete Trewavas. However, the current text of Edison's Children is terribly bloated and will need some serious cutting in either case. Also, it should be noted that the wikilink to Eric Blackwood actually leads to a Canadian aviator by that name--as far as I could see, there is no article or other coverage in Wikipedia about the Eric Blackwood who's in this band.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:41, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, this has the potential to become a good high-level article about railway switching networks in general and the various methods used. As Richard above notes, we have articles on individual aspects and various components but nothing that brings them together and introduces the topic. Needing cleanup (and compared to some articles it's not in that bad a shape) is not a reason for deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 11:35, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. First of all, Wikipedia already has a carefully structured suite of articles on railway signalling topics and it's difficult to see where this one fits in. Its intended scope and purpose are unclear and seem to have been lost in the course of being translated from Russian by someone unfamiliar with English terminology. It doesn't help that the title is somewhat ambiguous; what on earth is "railway switching networks" actually supposed to mean? "Railway" is clear enough in meaning but in a railway context, "switching" can mean shunting but it's also a telecommunications term. "Switches" can mean points too and I suspect the author was struggling to find the proper word for "signalling" or "interlocking". So where do "networks" come into it? Perhaps "systems" is what the author really meant. So it seems that this could either be an article about "railway signalling systems" or "interlocking systems", both subjects that already have their own articles. Now to examine the article's content: It seems to start off with a general history of signalling development worldwide, then becomes more detailed and country-specific, without actually specifying which country. I'm a UK-based railway signalling engineer and I don't have a clue what this article is about and I would challenge anyone saying "keep" to explain it to me and which parts of its scope aren't already covered by other articles. It is very telling that, other than those made by its original author, nearly all the edits made to this article have been copy edits etc. as opposed to changing or adding technical content. If there is anything to be salvaged from this article then maybe, just maybe, some parts of it might form the basis of a "Russian railway signalling" article, but my recommendation is for deletion. –Signalhead < T > 22:56, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge tiny amount of unique content to a paragraph in Centralized traffic control on russian systems and then redirect there. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:18, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I can see the logic behind a merge there (I don't agree it's the best solution though), but I think redirecting this broad to a specific country's implementation of one possible meaning would be a poor redirect. Far better than a redirect would be a dab page per Signalhead's comments above. Thryduulf (talk) 11:46, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The material is sourced and can simply be moved over to European Court of Human Rights. Content issues can be handled over there.

- Merge – Deletion would be appropriate if there's nothing to redirect to, or if nothing at all is noteworthy about a subject. Information should be merged judiciously (pun moderately intended) to avoid bloat or undue weight. If that might be a problem, the best thing to do is discuss on the main article's talk page, but probably not nominate for deletion. JFHJr (㊟) 04:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Redundant content fork of European Court of Human Rights - no, it is an article covering a sub-topic in a manner more detailed than it would be suitable in the main article. that simply has selected some criticisms of the court at random and placed them in a new article - is criticism by the members of the highest courts of states subject to ECHR jurisdiction, and by former member of the ECtHR itself "selected at random"? - Any material that is judged to be valuable can be put in that article. - with this approach that article would become too long. Having a whole article that is just "criticism" of the court in isolation is not helpful The Wikipedia community considers articles on "just" criticism to be able to be helpful, as is shown by the Category:Criticisms. If you consider it to be too isolated, it's a question of putting more wikilinks in the articles, not of deletion. Satiksme (talk) 23:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC) P.S.

- I've looked through these articles using my university account access. He is mentioned in each of them, but only in passing as a lackey of Lepke or in a list of a slew of other associates that Lepke had. He is given all of two sentences in this article, "2 New Witnesses link Lepke to Ring":
- She subsequently received $12,000 dollars from Katzenberg "that he got from Louis Kravitz," she went on. Kravitz, a fugitive in the case, had previously been described as a business manager for Lepke.
- There is also an article briefly describing an active police search for Kravitz, noting that he went under another psuedonym. Really, this doesn't seem substantial enough for its own article. His involvement with Lepke is certainly verifiable, I'm not sure if it's notable enough for its own article because there just isn't enough coverage of him specifically.

Keep - Satisfies point 1 of WP:ANYBIO. The subject of the article has won first place at some of the most notable international "electronic sports" competitions in the world such as Electronic Sports World Cup, Quakecon, and Gamescom. More information about these competitions can be found at Electronic sports. His ESWC win can be seen here which in my opinion, would satisfy point 1 on its own.

Tenative DeleteOne major problem with the article is that there's no source verifying these awards that the subject has won. Even the one you point to is from FNATIC, which is a gaming team, not an independent news source. Unless the awards can be reported by a source from the tournament or one that is sufficiently independent of the subject, they don't support the notability of the subject. I'm going to do a search to see if I can find something official from the ESWC. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 00:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I've found official rankings through ESWC's website and the Internet Wayback Machine and have added them to the article. But there are several more awards here that are not verified. If they are not verified, they can removed. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 00:59, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This person is widely considered one of, if not the, best Quake players; this is not like one of your standard cases of a non-notable or unidentifiable DotA players, Ridernyc. That being said, this article could use some expansion. DarthBotto talk•cont 07:03, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The article title is not much use for finding sources - I suggest Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL instead. Using this, there are plenty of Google hits. The play (not book) was the first major success for its author, Marcel Dubé, and still seems to be performed regularly - the problem looks like being filtering out the one-sentence title checks in short biographies of the author and the one-line notices of yet another performance, and then seeing what's left. I think it quite likely to be enough for notability for an article separate from that for its author, but can't be certain. PWilkinson (talk) 13:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Move to Zone (play) Is this really about a book, though? I mean, I know that's what it says in the title, but the lede reads: Zone is a French-language three-act play written by French-Canadian author Marcel Dubé. I am not sure they are different things. According to this article, the play won "top awards" at the Dominion Drama festival in Canada during the 1950s, so I think that qualifies for notability.

- Move to Zone (play) per PWilkinson and I Jethrobot. Here is another mention of the award [47], and it is also mentioned here [48] as shown by the Google snippet. Some more coverage [49] [50] [51] — frankie (talk) 16:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
