- Keep - The article already includes signficant coverage specifically about Hargitay in the Sydney Morning Herald: Meet FFA's man of mystery. Additional coverage Aussie World Cup bid 'too clean', says consultant, Australia's 2022 World Cup consultant Peter Hargitay refuses to take responsibility for the bidding debacle, Pearler of a gift adds to Cup bid, Australia paid millions to World Cup lobbyists, The man behind our 2022 bid is not exactly shy in coming forward -- Whpq (talk) 20:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - Current article is partly WP:AVOIDVICTIM. If the article were to meet standards for BLP, only two sentences would remain. And these two sentence would be BIO1E and therefore a reason for deletion. Subject of the article has indeed been mentioned in several newspapers. However, some of these have been removed due to legal problems: For example: This story [1] does not appear in Sunday Herald's archive anymore, other stories are subject to legal disputes as to be seen here: [2] or here [3] and here: [4]. Article bears potential for legal dispute.Tatwort (talk) 11:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural Note: Your nomination counts as a delete !vote, so it not necessary state "delete" explicitly again; subsequent commentary is normally prefaced with a boldfaced "comment". -- Whpq (talk) 14:20, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Issues of details which are not directly related to the reason for notability per WP:AVOIDVICTIM are things that can be taken care of through regular editting, and do not necessitate the deletion of the article. With respect to WP:BIO1E, that guideline does not preclude a standalone article on an individual related to an event. The newspaper sources noted above show coverage that spans a period time (notabiltiy is not temporary), and includes articles that cover him as the primary subject. -- Whpq (talk) 14:20, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I concur with the above comments by Whpq. And urge nom to cross out his boldmarked "Delete", and replace it with "Comment."--Epeefleche (talk) 15:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

None of the information in this article is verifiable, except perhaps its address. There is nothing on Google News.Thus it cannot be readily determined if this is a bona fide educational institution and thus meets the notability criteria for schools/colleges. Nominated with some reluctance, mainly to see if this article can somehow be salvaged after the many years of its existence as a quasi-advertisement.

- Strong keep A very notable artist featured in "Thrift Shop" that has become a universal hit single topping US Billbord Hot 100, Rap and R&B charts, has reached #2 in the UK, was or still is #1 in Australia, Canada, France, Norway, New Zealand also charting in Top 5 in Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland and on and on. Wanz has had a long musical career prior to the famous song. To establish the huge level of interest in this notable artist, please also refer to the number of those who consult the Wanz page through http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Wanz who want to know about him specifically independently of what they find in the song and Macklemore pages of Wikiepdia. The statistics show between 3,000 and 4,200 consultations of this specific Wanz page DAILY. Hardly non-notable... Here is what Billboard magazine described him [5] in the article dedicated to him as an artist: "Wanz Q&A: Meet the 'F-ing Awesome' Singer in 'Thrift Shop'" also informing its readers of an upcoming EP werldwayd (talk) 09:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 09:25, 9 February 2013 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 09:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep A few news mentions (Popdust.com, New Straits Times, mynorthwest.com, and the Billboard piece) plus featured credit on a charting single seem to be enough to establish notability. squibix(talk) 00:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. We could quibble about exactly how notable Wanz is (most of his fame of late is derived from the one particular performance in the Macklemore song), but it would be extremely dubious to say that he is not notable at all: there is undoubtedly significant coverage of him and his role in the song, coming from independent and reliable sources (Billboard in particular closes this case for me). An additional interview that can be used as a source for notability, which I don't believe has been mentioned, is the interview in XXL Magazine on the 9th of this month. — chro • man • cer 18:19, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Here's the aforementioned XXL interview as well as a CBS Radio write-up. There appears to be enough in-depth coverage on this person in reliable sources to support a standalone article, and keeping makes more sense to me than, say, merging into the "Thrift Shop" article.

- Monoatomic gold (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This seems to be an irredeemable conflation of several topics. One is the fact that ordinary atoms of elements such as gold can be arranged in very narrow structures (chains or wires); this is interesting but does not imply the existence of "monoatomic gold". Another is that in some contexts single atoms of gold may be encountered, especially as ions. The last is the idea that there is a magic form of gold produced by alchemy that has unlikely properties. This article does have many references, but they either refer to the first two meanings (sometimes simply in bibliographies) that do not merit an article, or are not reliable.
This article has been deleted in the past, but as a stub. A proposed deletion was declined. It also seems like a backdoor way to rescue the recently deleted article on the alchemist in question. Bovlb (talk) 20:51, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I should probably mention that this article was previously a redirect to Gold. Bovlb (talk) 20:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Sources about monoatomic gold -which are mainly about aliens or the "secret" meanings of ancient scriptures- are not even close to being reliable and some might very well be hoaxes, thus it fails WP:GNG. Even the publications which expose these types of pseudo-scientific things did not find the subject notable enough to publish an article about it. For the scientific term, there are eight book sources currently cited in the article but they mention monoatomic gold chain, wire or nanowire even less than a handful of times. There are some academic papers published on reliable journals on monoatomic gold chain, wire or nanowire, but the information can be merged to Monoatomic and/or Molecular wire. Nimuaq (talk) 22:17, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are no secondary sources to establish notability. The only two that appear to be are both dead links and the only remaining citations are those generated by Wieber and his colleague, Michael Scott. Nightscream (talk) 17:07, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Emmy links have been updated, but google should have been sufficient enough to support the article. -Miki
Search engines like Google are not reliable sources, as they are not publishers of material, but merely indicate frequency of search terms on websites. And if you mean that using Google would've turned out reliable sources, I tried using it before nominating the article, and couldn't find sources that I could discern as reliable, secondary ones. As for the Emmys, while I appreciate the fixing of those links, there are lots of winners of Creative Arts Emmys for special effects who presumably do not merit their own Wikipedia articles. Not everyone is Stan Winston. Nightscream (talk) 14:23, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - clearly notable individual, if for nothing else the Emmy Awards. Massive popularity of RvD (as well as press coverage of the same) also indicates notability. I'm in the process of adding more citations, but the claim that there are no secondary sources is false. MikeWazowski (talk) 13:52, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The statement that there were no secondary sources referred to sources in the article, so it was not "false". It was true, as there were indeed none in the article when I listed the article for AfD.
There are now a number of reliable secondary sources in the article, and I'm satisfied that the criteria for WP:NOTE have been met.
Also, feature-length films are italicized, but short ones are not, they're quoted. This is true for full-length and short-form works in other media as well (Books and chapters, TV series and episodes, Books of poetry and individual poems, etc.).
Keep per above. Nightscream (talk) 17:31, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from that, she hasn't achieved much work and The League is her first big break. A Google News search for Eurotrip provided some results, mainly brief mentions. Initially, I found nothing to support her work for Warner Bros. and Working Title Films until I searched again and found this which not only mentions Warner Bros. and Working Title but also working as an assistant at New Line Cinema. The link above also mentions her parents wanted her to become a lawyer so this leads me to say weak keep (my second option would be redirecting to the show but I guess she can be best known for this). Although somewhat trivial, her birth date is unknown and she hasn't won any awards (not that she won't win any in the future). Hopefully, she can become better known and she can establish more notability. SwisterTwister talk 02:38, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Two albums, one on R.E.X. Records, members of SNtR, plus Chris Taylor appears individually notable (there's a lot more coverage of him than is currently cited in the article on him, including an entry in Encyclopedia of contemporary Christian music). There are several sources discussing the band, e.g. Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music: Pop, Rock, and Worship, Raised By Wolves: The Story of Christian Rock & Roll. Nowhere obvious to merge, so keep it. I can't see any benefit to the project from deleting this. --Michig (talk) 20:45, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Mark Allan Powell's Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music has a single column that discusses them on p. 542. It spends a fair bit of space on discussing Michael Roe as their producer who they sound like than covering the band alone. It's about as much space as many other non-notable bands in the tome. The first of the two links is over-limit so I can't see it. The second seems to mention them only in passing. I don't believe that these amount to suitable coverage. WP:BAND 1. "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." What I'm saying is that the covering appears to be trivial. Did CCM, Harvest Rock Syndicate or 7 Ball do any features on them? --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, both The Dallas Morning News (16 May 1998: G6) and the San Antonio Express-News (1 May 1998: H22) refer to the band as "critically acclaimed" which suggests that there are other reviews available in reliable sources that are likely hard to access because they are from the 1990s.

- Comment The whole article is mostly unsourced, so I would not merge from existing content. However, I think I found enough tidbits that it is worthy of a redirect to Chicago Cubs#Radio, if not an outright keep if there is a Cubs fan who wants to do the work. If not, we can redirect now and WP:SPLIT later if it ever becomes too big. Some sources (mostly from WP:Highbeam) include their usual talk about attendance [14], hair on fire incident [15][16], show "became as big as the games themselves" [17], "comedic banter with Santo came to be called ‘‘The Pat and Ron Show.’"[18], Santo's replacement in Pat And Ron show[19], dynamics on the show between the two[20].—Bagumba (talk) 17:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge The article states that WGN Radio is heard around the world.

- Agree that sources should be independent to show notability; there is no guideline that "local" is not allowed; lots of politicians, for example, would otherwise not be notable.

- Keep - According to French Wikipedia he's been in a lot more than 1 film or TV show (there's no requirement that actors can't be notable for being in one film anyway), Winning a Prix Lumières, one of the most prestigious awards in France and all of Europe for that matter easily lends this person to notability as well as passing WP:CREATIVE - "has won significant critical attention". A combination of prestigious award recognition and some coverage [22] does indicate this person is notable. --Oakshade (talk) 02:41, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Can you actually verify that he acted in all those films the French Wikipedia article states? It is just like the English one being that anyone can put whatever they want without providing sources, so don't assume that him having an article on other languages of Wikipedia make him notable (in a perfect world, all of Wikipedia would operate together so that whenever an update is made to an article in one language, the same articles in all the other languages would be updated as well, but sadly, this is not the case). IMDB and other movie-related sites, though not always reliable on their own, only show him acting in one role, so even if he acted in the other movies stated, the fact that no one has updated any of his online profiles and information should be an indication that he either lacks a huge fan base or those films are not notable. Also, you should be looking at WP:ENTERTAINER, not WP:CREATIVE for him because he is an actor, not a journalist, filmmaker, photographer, etc. Those are two very different notability guidelines. WP:ENTERTAINER clearly states an actor must have done significant roles in MULTIPLE, not ONE, films, shows, etc. Usually for actors who have only one notable role, we redirect their articles to the film, show, etc they were in (e.g. Julia Winter, Hatty Jones, Carrie Henn, who also won or was nominated for a few notable awards for her only film role, and various Power Rangers actors). The problem here is that we do not have an article on this subject's only notable role yet. Minimally passing WP:ANYBIO alone is not enough to warrant notability. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 13:41, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The overlap between what is an "entertainer" and what is a "creative" person is blurry and can never be properly defined. Acting is a very creative profession. You'll notice under WP:ENTERTAINER is also includes "opinion makers", but WP:CREATIVE includes "authors, editors, journalists". The definition of "opinion maker" is almost always synonymous with either "author", "editor" or "journalist." I have no interest in the minutiae of always changing tiny subset clauses of subsections of sub-guidlines (see WP:LAWYER). Start an AfD of Peter Ostrum if you truly believe one needs "MULITPLE" significant roles in films to have an article. If a person received one of the most prestigious awards in Europe as this person has, they have received critical recognition. Whether the creative profession of actor is listed under "WP:CREATIVE" or not, I'm using common sense (a clause trumping all sub-WP:BIO guidelines for the Wiki-lawyers) and not going to ignore that fact. --Oakshade (talk) 16:12, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The additional films not mentioned in the normally comprehensive IMDb page for him seem to be Algerian TV (many clips on YouTube). They were added to the French page by an IP. At the moment we have no corroboration, but that might just be linguistic difficulty. Gossipy story here. I would want something more than just the one film and "best hopeful" award for notability. Mcewan (talk) 16:15, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Results from Lexis search show mentions in two roles: Mascarades (covered in Guardian, Variety, the Oxford Times, and Screen International), Le Dernier Passager (a short film, which are often missed in IMDB, covered in press releases as a finalist for a Cannes related award by Canada's National Film Office--no individual award suggested). Those films are also listed at Africultures here which has three reviews mentioning him. Couldn't find much Algerian reliable source coverage (but do not know Arabic, so...), but he is listed as a "famous actor" here [note not-RS] (with a dig at an old version of the wikipedia article). I'm leaning towards Keep at this minute because of two Cannes-award affiliated nominated films he has acted in. But there certainly isn't much to expand content of article in English or French sources that I could find. AbstractIllusions (talk) 16:29, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep- Thought about it, and roles in two nominated films seems to pass everyone's interpretation of the notability criteria, see above. (I have no opinion on whether information should be merged if a page is made for Mascarades) AbstractIllusions (talk) 17:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I connected several broken links between French and Arabic wp and added Arabic names. Sources in French (and if you search in Arabic dozens in Arabic) confirm mentions, gossip column stuff, not just listings of Bouchaib in 3 Algerian soaps on his Agency resume http://www.agencesartistiques.com/Fiche-Artiste/308972-mohamed-bouchaib.html.

Merge into FreePBX Distro . I think that's the only thing the company actually does, and the distro is probably notable. One article is justified for the two of them, and we have no firm policy about which one it should be. I suspect the name of the distro is the more recognizable, in which case that's the title of the final article. If I'm wrong, the merge should be the other way round.

Article PRODded with reason "Moribund journal/magazine. No indication of notability, no independent sources (apart from library catalogs)." Was de-PRODded referring to a discussion on the article's talk page. However, that discussion does not provide any valid argument establishing notability for this publication. Does not meet WP:GNG or any other potentially applicable guideline. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 11:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The journal is interdisciplinary and as such does not fit into a neat category as others do. The fact that it is included in LOC and WORLDCAT helps, and, as discussed on the previous talk page the journal was deemed borderline notable by consensus. Jimsteele9999 (talk) 12:46, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Being included in Worldcat or LOC does not contribute anything to notability. And the way I read that talk page, I don't see any consensus about even borderline notability. Apart from yourself, everybody at that page seems to argue for lack of notability. But let's see what the rest of the community thinks. --Randykitty (talk) 12:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Dubious Existence is not notability; The journal site gives no information about indexes, and neither does the worldcat entry. so I need to check. However the New York Public library reports it as caving ceased with v.16 2011; their web site shows the dates is at v.16 2010. The site however refers to a 2012 issue. I suppose, like many small journals, they're irregular. DGG ( talk ) 20:36, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although many of the article's claims are referenced to sources, these are claims about Concorde and super-sonic air transport generally. The only references to Wiggs and his activism in the cited literature appear to be in his own book, thus I cannot see how the putative subject of the article has received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as mandated by WP:N. Rather than a piece about Wiggs, the article appears as a WP:ESSAY and a WP:COATRACK on which to hang anti-supersonic arguments. In short: no evidence of notability of Wiggs as an individual.

Article is an unreferenced BLP (one historical link appears to be nonfunctional) tagged for nearly 3 years as such. What appears to be the article's subject very recently has deleted most of the article including the multiple tags, leaving an unreferenced stub of one sentence. Attempts to Google information about the subject revealed no reliable sources. This seemed not to be a candidate for a speedy. Jusdafax 08:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Bio about an american actor who "has starred in a number of films, such as Machete, Bandits, and The Cell".

- Dear Joybox11, please read WP:COI to understand tthe relationship created by your being Harvey's agent and your interest in the article. Also, please know that what Harvey may be doing in the future does not create a suitable notability for Wikipedia UNLESS that work is the recipient of significant coverage in reliable sources. And please note, while we at Wikipedia consider it as reasonable as a starting point for our looking for reliable sources, we do not consider a listing in IMDB to be reliable nor a sign of notability.

- Delete per lack of notability under WP:GNG and WP:ENTERTAINER. Information at database websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes is insufficient; per WP:GNG, there needs to have been coverage (news and periodicals, in this case) directly about the subject. People have to be covered out there before they are covered in here. Erik (talk | contribs) 18:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per being at best TOO SOON , and perhaps redirect to Imperial Sugar, a notable firm of which he is part owner. While Harvey may well have been in a handful of projects ending in 1997, mere listings in film databases do not confer notability. His family's company may be notable, but Harvey currently is not per Wikipedia standards. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:21, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia should not be deleted, all information has been updated, and this page has 7 reliable sources/references. As you may see several movie sites have Harvey Gomez listed and all the movies he has been apart of are listed, and I am not mentioning IMDB, If you google Anna Luna, Machete II or any of the other films you will see Harvey Gomez has been apart of them, and they are reliable. I do not think this should be deleted, however maybe it could be edited again with more sources. If this is the case, we can add more references for Harvey Gomez. I am Harvey Gomez publicist and we are updating all his information for all these sites, please just give us a week to get all updated. Do not delete please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.11.16.26 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 9 February 2013
- Please read WP:Identifying reliable sources to understand that, while useful for expanded searches, IMDB is NOT considered a reliable source. Also, the James C. Kempner bio at Forbes website does not state that Harvey has any relationship with the Imperial Sugar company. And while we can accept that Harvey has been in the asserted projects, his simply being in a film or TV show (as an infant) does not impart any notability. For that we need a properly reliable source speaking about the role and actor in some sort of useful detail. Does Harvey have a cult fanbase? Has Harvey won any notable awards? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:00, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Harvey does have a great fanbase, I am in the process of finding more information for sources. Please bare with me. Harvey has not won any awards, he stopped acting when he was 14, and now that he is 23 he is starting to act again.

- Pertty much you have seven days to bring forward the reliable sources required. And as much luck as I wish you, it is likely that the article will be deleted after this AFD has run its seven days. Do not be discouraged, as it is never an intention to chase contributors away from Wikipedia. IF this artricle is deleted, you may request it be placed in a user workspace/subpage for continued work out of mainspace... and IN a userspace, you can add sourcing as available, and seek input from experienced editors as to whether or not the topic has become ready for a return.

Sourcing is very weak here. Does not demonstrate the level of independent, notable coverage required from multiple reliable sources to just a Wikipedia article per WP:GNG rules. DreamGuy (talk) 02:38, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete at best, he could be briefly mentioned on the Apple Writer page.--DrumstickJuggler (talk) 03:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete ... I agree that the article should be deleted. On reading its long history, one sees several two-phase efforts to (a) delete all its references, then (b) move to delete the article on the ground that its claims had no references. Then someone would restore the article to its original state, but this time, the removal effort will probably succeed (and I encourage this outcome). The article was never that strong to begin with, but the valiant efforts by any number of SPAs over the years have turned it into a disaster. I am personally embarrassed by the article's present state, and I am equally embarrassed by the behavior of its editors.
- For comparison, after small articles like this are deleted for not being substantial or well-referenced enough (an objection with some merit), here's what I see as the future of Wikipedia: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Does anyone have a problem with this 1600-word article? Maybe, to make room for it and articles like it, we can delete a few more accounts of notable scientific and technical people. Lutusp (talk) 03:10, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's some kind of weird OWN stuff happening on that page. No changes are accepted at all. Thus, there's an "info box" that contains just a name and a link to his personal website. There's stuff about a boat voyage, and a link to his free book about it. And the sentence about moving to Oregon and living in isolation. The only notable thing in the article is the authorship of Apple Writer, and some of the awards. Only 4 people on WP are shown to have the Vollum. WP doesn't show anyone else for scientist of the year. (Editors protecting the Lutus Page from any edit should really be contributing to the wider project by sourcing and writing articles about those awards. The Vollum seems like it might be notable.) Nothing else is notable at all. This is just a heavily padded vanity article. Removing padding leaves a tiny stump. Sourcing is weak. Notability is tenuous at best.

- Paul Lutus here. I repeat my prior request: please, either delete the article or freeze it against future vandalism -- I don't care which. Other editors in this conversation have claimed there's a notability issue. Obviously that's a matter of judgment. One editor above says "Only 4 people on WP are shown to have the Vollum." For the record, here's a partial list of past Vollum Award recipients: Linus Pauling, Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Bill Gates, and Paul Lutus. There are obviously many more less well-known but deserving recipients in this prestigious award's 38-year history.
- Another editor claims that "Sourcing is weak." On the contrary, every claim in the article is sourced, except one -- that I wrote a solar system model used by JPL during the Viking Mars mission. But that claim is sourced, with supporting documentation, here. Obviously I'm not going to edit my own article, nevertheless, every claim in the article has a source.
- On the issue of notability and for comparison, here's an article about one of my age-contemporaries in software development: Bill Budge. Not a technologist as I am, but a game designer. No technical or scientific track record. I emphasize this is not meant to disparage Mr. Budge, it's only meant as a comparison. So, one might ask, given our respective backgrounds, what's all this deletion activity surrounding Paul Lutus' article, but none about Mr. Budge's, which has similar content? The answer is that I am a vocal critic of the practice of psychology, and this has resulted in any number of SPAs attacking my article over the years, hoping to reduce my public visibility.
- Another editor says "This is just a heavily padded vanity article." So delete the article -- but before you do, read Budge's article. Ask yourself whether my article, and Budge's article, and a hundred similar Wikipedia articles, differ in this trait. Then ask yourself why my article has been singled out for deletion. And don't get confused -- I'm not arguing for this article's retention. I want Wikipedia to either delete the article or secure it against vandalism, and as I said above, I don't care which. Thanks for reading. Lutusp (talk) 16:47, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 18:31, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, thank you. My use of the Budge article is only to show that it's being treated differently, not to argue that "other stuff exists". Again, I would be very happy to see this article deleted, or frozen against vandalism. But please -- one or the other. The outcome is appropriately in the hands of others.

- Are these links enough to prove notability?. Regards. Gaba p (talk) 01:00, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In my personal opinion, they are fairly WP:ROUTINE coverage from linux fan sites that cover every minor twist and turn, new release, and new rumor. They are just release notices pretty much. No major in-depth reviews, no discussion of lasting impact or influence etc. (It would be unexpected to see such articles so soon in any case, as the package is so new). However, it is certainly not up to just me, and others may consider them sufficient. Gaijin42 (talk) 01:11, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I honestly find this file manager as notable (or even more considering the distro it stems from) as the rest that do have articles, ie: Nautilus (file manager), Konqueror, Thunar, Dolphin, PCMan and ROX-Filer. Given how new it is, the fact that it has had that much coverage also points, in my opinion, to a sufficient enough notability. In any case, let's wait to see what other editors think. Regards. Gaba p (talk) 01:18, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Notability is not inherited, so the fact that it is part of a major distro doesn't really mean much (though that enhanced visibility does mean its more likely to get articles written which WOULD eventually show notability). On the other hand, it seems like the bar for linux software packages might be pretty low. On the other-other hand, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS so I dunno. in any case we agree we need the input of others :). I do appreciate yo ubeing so cordial in our discussion though, i certainloy have been on the other side of this, and know what it feels like! :) Gaijin42 (talk) 01:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi, thanks for your comments. Sources 2 and 3 are press releases. Not sure what to make of 1. Never heard of US Business Review. A "corporate profile" is not necessarily independent news coverage. Logical Cowboy (talk) 17:45, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure about that analysis of 2 and 3 - they look just to be articles from confectionary industry magazines. They aren't the New York Times, sure, but I don't think they are "press releases" - at least I can't see where it says as much. No idea what the US Business Review is. To be honest, I just picked three random articles from the first page of Google results as a comparison to the lack of results for the subject sub-group. Article 1 (regardless of origin) is at HighBeam and there's a list of "related articles" from a whole bunch of sources listed underneath, all about Warrell Corp. Stalwart111 21:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, well 2 is mostly PR quotes from the company involved. 3 is based on a local newspaper story, likely sourced from a press release. Neither is independent in-depth coverage required by WP:CORPDEPTH. I doubt 1 is independent of subject. Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:16, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, most industry magazines have that sort of tone - they tend not to run negative (or even neutral stuff) about their own industry. And a lot of local press is based on press releases; from companies, organisations, politicians, etc. There's not a lot of hard-hitting editorial there. But that doesn't make them automatically non-RS. Anyway, there's enough there (with the rest of the list of related articles included) for me to consider the parent company notable. It doesn't need to be those three sources. And others are free to disagree of course. Stalwart111 02:42, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks but I didn't say the sources fail WP:RS. WP:CORPDEPTH is a different standard. Logical Cowboy (talk) 20:34, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, understand that - I referred to it above. I'm not aware of any instance of industry-specific publications being rejected as being not independent enough, so for me the other natural question is about whether it meets WP:RS (linked in the first line of WP:CORP on that basis). Whether specific publications offer a depth of information, collectively, to establish CORPDEPTH would probably need a HighBeam account to put beyond doubt - someone who can properly assess those additional 10 or so sources. Like I said, it's enough for me, but you are free to disagree of course. Stalwart111 22:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree. "Independent" coverage is part of WP:CORPDEPTH. I don't think it's a good idea to ignore this criterion--it's crucial. Many industry publications just reprint warmed-over press releases, or publish "advertorials." The issue of independence, and whether press releases (or press release-like material) count towards notability, comes up repeatedly at AfD. Logical Cowboy (talk) 06:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It certainly does. Like I said, I'm not aware of any instance of industry-specific publications being rejected as being not independent enough, simply on the basis that they focus on one industry. And I'm not aware of any documented concern (like a guideline or user essay) calling industry-specific publications into question generally on that basis. But I would be interested to read one. Anyway, we're discussing the potential notability of an article that doesn't exist. Ha ha. Stalwart111 08:41, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You are the one who voted to create The Warrell Corp.. You can change your vote. The reason I said that sources 2 and 3 are not independent and in-depth is because I read them and they are mostly PR quotes. I did not raise the issue that they are industry publications--you raised that. Sources 2 and 3 do not contribute to notability under WP:CORPDEPTH because they are "brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business" and mostly "quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources." Again, it is not too late for you to change your vote. Logical Cowboy (talk) 15:54, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- And I disagree with that assessment of them because they are industry publications and because that is simply the nature of industry publications. And I did raise it - because you suggested they were "press releases" which is clearly not the case. Those sorts of publications report on industry news and generally include quotes from the companies in question. But I've never seen an argument made that such publications cannot be counted toward CORPDEPTH on that basis. In fact, vendingmarketwatch.com has been used as a source for about a dozen articles here, and candyindustry.com has also been used (though not as extensively) in other confectionary-industry articles. And even if we dismiss 2 and 3 we can still fall back on the list of potential sources attached to number 1 which includes this article that suggests they won a business award and this one from another industry publication that looks to give some history of the company. I remain of the opinion that a case could be made that The Warrell Corp. is notable and that creating it is a better option than keeping the subject article. Stalwart111 21:14, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So, you don't think that WP:CORPDEPTH should be applied to "industry publications?" Even though WP:CORPDEPTH explicitly rules out brief announcements of mergers, as well as quotations from the company's PR, to establish notability, you would ignore the explicit content of WP:CORPDEPTH because it is an industry publication? I think that's just wrong. Also, I don't think that winning the Central Pennsylvania Business of the Year award (2004) does much to establish notability.

- That's a bit of a strawman argument. You suggested they shouldn't count towards WP:CORPDEPTH because of their content, prefaced on the suggestion that the content of "many" such publications lacked independence. You suggested the content of both was of the sort specifically highlighted at WP:CORPDEPTH - I disagree. I don't believe those are the sorts of sources that WP:CORPDEPTH was designed to exclude and I've not seen a consensus anywhere to suggest otherwise. I believe it was designed to exclude press releases and regulatory-style company announcements, but not genuine industry-specific editorial about company acquisitions that include quotes from company representatives. Stalwart111 01:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No. I did not "preface" my vote, or other comments, on general characteristics of industry publications. I did not even mention industry publications until my fifth or sixth edit to this page, after you brought up the issue first. Even then, I did not say that industry publications in general should be excluded. I was just responding to your comment. I'd be happy to see thousands of citations to industry publications, provided that WP:CORPDEPTH is applied. WP:CORPDEPTH is the consensus of the community. It says that brief announcements of mergers, as well as quotations from the company's PR, do not establish notability. It does not say "please ignore these rules for industry publications." The sources 2 and 3 you provided were brief announcements of mergers, mainly based on company quotes. Please post a link to where it says in WP:CORPDEPTH that the rules do not apply to industry publications. If you can't do that, your point has no basis. Logical Cowboy (talk) 01:34, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "Many industry publications just reprint warmed-over press releases, or publish advertorials." I took that to mean that, in your opinion, many industry publications just reprint warmed-over press releases. I disagree with that general characterisation and I continue to disagree with your assessment of the sources in question against WP:CORPDEPTH. Even if I didn't, there's a list of others to pick from on HighBeam. Even if there wasn't, we'd still be talking about an article that exists only in theory. You are free to believe that merging content into a new article isn't a good idea. You remain entitled to your opinion that my reading of potential sources is wrong. You are clearly not going to convince me, nor I you, but attributing to me an argument that I have never made and then demanding I make it with evidence is a pointless exercise: straw man. I'd say I've had enough of flogging a dead horse, if it weren't for the fact that this horse hasn't even been born yet. Stalwart111 03:41, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- It might be better to discuss this at WP:RSN where it will get the necessary attention. But I'll say here what I would say there. that while it is perfectly true that "Many industry publications just reprint warmed-over press releases, or publish advertorials," most are a mixture of content based on PR, and content that is editorially responsible. The good content is a RS for N; the other content is not, although it is an indication that at least the editors thought this particular press release was worth reprinting--they do after all depend upon the perception of the trade that the material they include is significant enough and accurate enough to be of interest. More generally, there is no individual publication of any sort, let alone any class of publications, that is an unquestionably reliable source in all circumstances, and very few newspapers or magazines that are totally free from being influenced by PR. The individual article needs to be examined, to see whether it shows some degree of independent assessment. I have not yet done that in this case, but am about to. DGG ( talk ) 03:41, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi DGG, I agree with every word you've said. My own evaluations were about the individual articles themselves after I had read them. Cheers. Logical Cowboy (talk) 03:50, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- weak Keep and move as suggested. I agree with you, LC, that as far as I can see none of the individual articles look impressive. But looking at the total article list at [26] it seems obvious that the people in that industry think the company important enough to be worth covering. Another way of putting it, is that except for famous firms, this is the best we can expect, and if we wish to include manufacturing firms in unexciting consumer industries that are just notable, we need to accept sources like this. If this were a field that is exceptionally well covered by the general press, like athletics or politics, it would be another matter. Sources in different fields are different. I think that to be rational rather than mechanistic, an analysis on the basis of 2RS=N needs to take account of what can be expected in the subject area. I know some other people do not agree, and judge everything by the standards of the fields that in the past have traditionally been important to paper encyclopedias. DGG ( talk ) 04:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nah, if you mean the articles listed under "Related newspaper, magazine, and journal articles," these are mostly boring press releases turned into short news articles. One is about the new peanut brittle machine. Another is about adding 38 full-time staff. Two are about acquiring a brand of caramel. Then there are two about internal promotions, no doubt sourced from press releases. And there is also the prestigious Central Pennsylvania Business of the Year (2004). These are explicitly excluded by WP:CORPDEPTH, viz, "routine communiqués announcing such matters as the hiring or departure of personnel, brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business, simple statements that a product line is being sold, changed, or discontinued." These are the rules that I think we should be following. Logical Cowboy (talk) 05:33, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Have replaced the bulk of the article, which was removed without comment, by an IP whose only 3 edits were that removal, on 19 Dec 2012. There are a couple of refs, but both seem broken today. Notability not yet established but needs more of a look, using both names (article was created under Linovski in May 2008 and moved from Linovski to Levy with edit summary "new name"). PamD 08:52, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Curiouser and curiouser: she seems to be still using the Linovski name and there is no evidence to support the move to Levy! Still not apparently notable, but a strange page history. PamD 09:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Going by her name on her website above (Ariella Linovski), all I could find were links to her presentation at Oxford [27], Belfast [28] and two academic acknowledgements [29].

A search on Google Books/news/etc for Newa games/Newar games brings up no sources. The page creator admits on the Talk page that there are no sources, and although they (using a new account) have tried to add references, one is to another WP page and another is to a dictionary definition.

- Tricky. Seems like the kind of article that A) we should have B) is very difficult for an English speaker to find reliable sources for and C) probably is primarily documented in paper sources. If this material could be verified I'd strongly urge us to keep it (meeting WP:N or not) but as it is I'm not sure what to do. Clearly doesn't meet our guidelines and I can't find a way to even meet WP:V. But the topic is clearly highly encyclopedic. Good luck. Hobit (talk) 14:02, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Sources found, really grasping here: There is a family in London that plays Dhun Kasa and Gha Kasa. Something that may be a reliable source is the Hodgson papers in the Social Anthropology library at Cambridge, in which there is apparently some material on Newari games. ECS Nepal has an article on Nepali Street Games that looks useful. A Lonely Planet guide to Nepal has a paragraph on bhag chal and also mentions a game called carom. A likely picture of carom is at Visual Geography in the first picture of the gallery. The third and fourth pictures show an unknown board game not mentioned in our article. A pamphlet on bhag chal claims that there are secondary references in the form of (1) Murray, H. J. R. A History of Board-Games Other than Chess, p. 112. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1952, and (2) Parlett, D. The Oxford History of Board Games, p. 194. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999. For traditional games handed down orally, notability is a tough proposition. Like Hobit, I'd be willing to bend the rules for notability in this case. I don't think we need notability, but we need verifiability to at least get the facts straight. I think we can get there for bhag chal, but I am not sure about the others. --Mark viking (talk) 05:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - maybe a merge and redirect to Newa people? There are already sections on there for dance, music, art, etc. Mabalu (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and there's already a section on it there - which is basically just a link to this page, so room for a condensed version of the current page? Seems like a suitable solution. Mabalu (talk) 11:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as per MQS - if the people who PRODed this actually put any effort into improving the article, instead of being-trigger happy and giving the original creator no time to fix the article, we wouldn't be here. Trout Ushau for PRODding the article TWICE (after the first, it should've been obvious that it would not be a non-controversial deletion), the first time a single minute after creation. The page curator needs scrutiny - an article created by a blocked user should only be speedied if it was created in violation of their block IIRC, not if it was created 4 days before the block. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Among the films she acted in, 4 are notable enough for WP: Kabooliwala, Keli (film), Adivaram and Thirumanassu. That should make her notable enough. She seems to have portrayed female lead of the last three. I have created the page Charmila and redirected it here as there is no other article with same title. Would request page movement in the other direction if this Afd is closed with 'keep' as consensus.--GDibyendu (talk) 18:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
