The verifiability is very low: most sources link to unrelated articles and/or are unreliable. Looks very much like it’s a fake. - Хтосьці (talk) 09:41, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Detailed comment on each source
[edit]Let me comment on source one-by-one:
- In the first source, Selena Du is listed among the top three in ATV Miss Asia Pageant. This was added recently, and it looks reliable.
- data.ent.sina.com.cn/star/24469.html Placed as is to support "Du highly values charity causes and engage herself in public social activities", but the article linked is very terse on such activity: 热衷于公益活动 (interested in public benefit). However, the linked article does mention some facts: position of UN Goodwill Ambassador (个人简介:联合国慈善大使), visiting many countries (个人简介:曾访问过世界20多个国家), Russian background (民族: 俄罗斯族), fact that she is an actress, singer, TV host and model (职业:演员 歌手 主持人 模特). I’m not sure about the reliability of the source though, because the site is user-editable (link «我要编辑» allows to edit the data).
- Article in Oriental Daily News, but the article says information is taken from Mainland websites so it may be unreliable. It’s very short, so I’ll give my attempt at translation (my Chinese is not very good, so please correct me if I’m mistaken somewhere; however, I believe I’ve understood the overall meaning; parenthesed text are my comments): "Although the 21-year-old Selena Du was disqualified by ATV (? 被亞視取消參選資格), she orignially had good connections: according to mainland news sites, her paternal grandfather was a military strategist in the former Soviet Union, Selena Du grew in family with higher education, and has since childhood took part in public competitions and literary plays (文藝演出), and also once took part in CCTV performance (? 表演). After growing up, she also took part in beauty contests, in 2010 she took part in Miss Globe International" and achieved the title "image ambassador" (形象大使), in the same years also became the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador (? 聯合國慈善大使); in 2011 she participated in "Miss Asia Pageant North America", recieving the title "The most photogenic miss" (? 最上鏡小姐), and also became "Miss Asia" winner in American region. When Selena Du was a TV host, she interviewed (? 訪問) US ex-president Clinton, NBA star Kobe Bryant and the others; [she is] really impressive, ATV aspect (? 方面) also testifies news related to this (? 亦證實相關消息)."
- The fourth link, www.svief.org/2012/english/yqjb/dy.htm is located on a site of a Silicon Valley Technology Innovation & Enterpreneurship Forum (高创会), an international Chinese-English Conference. Selena Du is listed in the "SVIEF Organizing committee" list [1]. The wiki article links to a JS-openable window, most likely to hide the fact that the site is about a completely unrelated event so most likely they didn’t take the job of verifying the facts very seriously. It doesn’t look like a reliable source. Also, there are some doubts about the information presented: e.g., Mar del Plata Film Festival doesn’t seem to have a "Best New Actress" nomination.
- The fifth link is an internet forum, so it is not a reliable source. Moreover, the post at forum is about a Chinese-American Film festival. The article says that a UN Goodwill ambassador Selena Du took part in the opening ceremony and press conference of Chinese-Amercian film festival and that she attended some charitable event. This forum post says nothing about the facts it is given after: nothing about Selena being born in Milan, nothing about her singing and dancing, nothing about ballet and Ulanova or Beijing Dance Academy. It is completely irrelevant!
- The sixth link is a blog post with the same information as the previous forum post. It is also completely irrelevant to the information and is not a reliable source.
- The 7th link contains information (again) on Chinese-American Film festival. Selena Du is mentioned only once (again, the translation is mine): "UN Goodwill Ambassador Selena Du said in pressconference that she is very happy to take part in this festival's opening ceremony and get to know more people from film world. As a novice, she hopes to be able to get her products on screens as soon as possible." (联合国慈善大使杜悦在新闻发布会上表示,很高兴参加这次电影节开幕式,并认识更多的电影界人士。作为新人,她希望能够早日让自己的作品登上银幕。中国国家广电总局电影管理局局长童刚率领中国代表团参加此次电影节。). This is completely irrelevant to the sentence in the Wikipedia article it is intended to support (Du has showed interest in performing art at a very young age). Also, the article is written by Selena Du herself.
- The eights link is an interview with Selena Du as a host of Mobile Game Conference (移动游戏大会) in Sichuan. It is also mentioned that she is Miss Asia and UN Goodwill Ambassador. In the interview, Selena speaks only about the Conference-related issues, there is no information to support the claims in the article: nothing about China National Swim Team, nothing about Nie Zhongming's commenting Selena's voice.
- The ninth link is a complete re-write of the Oriental Daily News I've translated above (source #3). It supports the claims about military strategist, but it is mostly irrelevant and doesn't give any information about Selena's brother or Selena's father's education in Princeton.
- The tenth link is an article about Miss Asia contenst. Selena Du is named the winner of the American West Coast contest. Again, this citation is irrelevant and doesn’t prove statements about Selena’s travelling with her parents or visiting different countries.
- The eleventh link is an article about Selena's participation in Miss Asia and being awarded "most photogenic" award. It is irrelevant to the statement is is given after, however, it does prove some information from other parts of the article: that she started dance, music and violin training at the age of 7 (something source 7 failed to prove) and that she likes travelling.
- The twelfth link tells about Selena Du at Silicon Valley Technology Innovation & Enterpreneurship Forum (高创会). Also completely irrelevant to the text of the article: nothing about visiting children in Africa and Central America, nothing about Time in Aba, nothing about children recieving edication with her support.
- The 13th source is a link to Douban, another user-generated site. Funnily enough, it is also irrelevant because doesn’t it says nothing about Selena’s role in Sofia. Also, on Douban the film is named not 假如 Gáyùh, but as 如果 Yùhgwó (both words mean "if"), and the director and years don’t coincede.
What concens me is:
- The contributor doesn’t seem neutral. E.g. my [which?] tag requiring to add the list of brands and magazines she modeled for was silently removed.
- A contributor Audreylomberg has deleted all my [citation needed], [unreliable source] and [not in citation given tags] and lied on the talk page that "the sources and references are valid and relevant". As can be seen from the information above, this is an obvious lie.
- Citations seem to be put at random, their only relation with the text of the article is the fact Selena is mentioned there.
Most sources state that she is UN Goodwill Ambassador, but I can’t find any information in the UN website, so, after seeing so much lies, I'm not sure even this one is true.
Even if this were not a real disinformation but an error or some kind of misunderstanding... Should the article so full of errors exist? Хтосьці (talk) 20:17, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment
- This most probably self-published and completely unreliable source seems to tell some truth. (More or less, there are many strange unbelievable things like "famous strategist", etc.) It looks like she did become Miss Photogenic in the 2010 Miss Asia North America pageant. She also won the 2012 Miss Asia West Coast contest and was going to represent USA in the final of the notable ATV Miss Asia 2012 Pageant that took place earlier in 2013, but was withdrawn from it. This unrelable forum links all the photos from the official website of ATV. As you can see, the girl number 15 was Selena Du at the time when the forum thread was started, but later the ATV website removed her and switched the picture. The official site of the Miss Asia 2012 contest is here.
- As Хтосьці noticed, this article seems to be written by Selena Du herself. She simply wrote about the film festival and someone took pictures of her with famous people who participated.
- But there are other Chinese-language sources that seem to be about her.
- You can't write the article as it is right now using the sources. As Хтосьці noticed, the sources say something completely different from the sentences they pretend to source. But you can definitely write something short and attempt to prove her notability.
- As far as I can see, the photos in the article are indeed photos of Selena Du.
- All the movies in her filmography are linked to some other movies by mistake. She is certainly not in Volver. But her article says it's a 2011 movie directed by Jaime Fisher and not by Almodovar, so it's simply a mistake by whoever wrote the article.
- At least one movie, "哺乳期的女人" by Yang Yazhou (杨亚洲), exists and is notable. But if she is in it, her role is probably minor cause I can't find it even in the article about the movie in user-generated Baidu Encyclopedia. The article lists only the main characters, though.
- In short, Selena Du does exist, the article seems to be an amateur attempt to add her to Wikipedia and not a professional disinformation campain. But I don't know whether she is notable by Wikipedia standards. I don't think she "is well-known among the Asian population across the world" as the article claims, but she may be notable.

So far looks very suspicious. For example, it is written, that "she also holds the 2012 Miss Asia US Division title", but in the link she is just listed as a contestant.

- Delete - the analysis of the sources doesn't fill me with hope and the article itself contains no real claim that would suggest the subject is notable. The family background is a bit pointless and the charity stuff wouldn't seem to constitute anything that would confer notability. The filmography doesn't seem to include any major or significant roles in notable films. Happy to consider anything of relevance but having done my own search, I couldn't find anything that would be considered significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.

Weak keepmaybe TNT - the article itself is a mess. It's full of mistranslation and broken English and has some major manual of style issues. I suspect the subject might pass WP:GNG based on the sources and quotes from others about the subject, but it really is hard to tell. Yes, the original author checked at WP:ANI but the better place would have been WP:AFC where I don't think this would have passed in it's current form. I might spend some time trying to fix it, but it needs a lot of work. Stalwart111 05:19, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Having had another look, I just can't support keeping this. Good-faith approach to creation or not, the equivalent was recently deleted from fr.wp and I can't find much of anything to support keeping it here. On closer inspection, the sourcing is flimsy and there certainly doesn't seem to be significant coverage in reliable sources. I think we need much better sources before we could consider the subject notable. Stalwart111 05:57, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is yet another poorly written article with no references, which at first glance looks like it was created by the band themselves. I have already nominated the singer of the band for deletion, see here; as his article is without question recalcitrant to WP:MUS. They were created in December 2007 with one large edit from user Special:Contributions/Hollywoodwaster who has done very little since then; furthermore the article has had little attention from any other editors since then. They have no charted albums or singles; there is no coverage of the band at Scottish publications The Skinny or The List or for that matter any web media. There is nothing at Allmusic.com on this band nor is there anything on Google news archive; there are no reviews for their album Goodbye to Yesterday in any web media [8]. The articles manual of style is also rather lacklustre, phrases such as "Cielo Drive have become well known for their energetic live performances and crowd interaction," typify puffery at its best. The whole article could be summed up by what the British colloquially call a piss-take. For example the section, "Non-musical album appearances" features a link to member Michael McMahon who, astonishingly does not exist, however by coincidence he has the same name as a U.S. Democratic politician, which it nicely links to. There has clearly been no attempt to make the article appear legit and just resembles a fan composed promotional message. I therefore propose deletion.

- Sergio Sergio (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)
The tag at the top of this page says it all. It is written like an advert. More importantly however is the dearth of any references to support the existence of the page; a Google search yields precious little substance barring some of the customary fan pages, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Soundcloud etc. The article's tone is evidently exaggerated, with several references to 'hits', despite the band having no discography whatsoever. They have rather cunningly inserted a soundcloud citation with a sly note saying "Sergio Sergio release songs to critical acclaim". Of course there is no critical praise from paid critics, just 12 likes spread between their vast repertoire of three songs; most likely they were reciprocal likes by the band members. There is always a correlation between bad articles and classic puffery, the following sentence embodies such exaggerated prose unquestionably. "The chemistry between the five was apparent from the offset. Given was the missing piece in the Sergio Sergio jigsaw, and the band worked on monster hits such as Eucatastrophe, Dangerous Minds and The Vanguard Siren." All joking aside, even without monster hits, the least I expect when i'm looking at a music article for a Scottish band is some relevant media coverage such as The List, The Skinny, Scotsman or even an entry at Allmusic.com. "Sergio Sergio is born" they proclaim, sadly it could be a premature end. I nominate this article for deletion with conviction; but if anyone can search the depths of the world wide web and find anything to counterclaim this nomination, I will happily accept egg on my face.

- Guidelines for clubs are a bit vague but I don't see a great number of club articles coming up for AfD. The guidelines for players seem perfectly clear: point 2 of WP:NFOOTY requires playing in a fully professional league and links to Wikiproject:Football's list of qualifying leagues in each country. I would suggest that the reason so many football player articles come to AfD is not because the guidelines are unclear but because people create player articles without reading them.

Weakkeep. The incident received national coverage at the time LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio (unsurprising, but a few days after the event, so it wasn't forgotten about the next day). It has, subsequently, received a number of mentions in the press AP report (2012), Brainerd Dispatch, along with all the hits you get from the gnews link above if you remove the quotes from the search term (which seem to be mostly relevant). Given the fairly wide coverage at the time and the fact that it seems that any article written in the US media about gas explosions and gas safety valves at least mentions this event, I think the article probably ought to be kept.

Weak DeleteKeep My search didn't find enough WP:SIGCOV to show he meets WP:GNG (the article is of no help with this), and he doesn't meet WP:NMMA or WP:NCOLLATH. He is in the University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame, but I that doesn't satisfy any notability criteria. It does, however, support the claim of 3 time All-American since the top 8 in each weight class each year are awarded that honor and the site says he achieved that. Papaursa (talk) 18:28, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Everything I said above is still true. However, I added his ADCC record to the article and that, combined with his two UFC fights, is enough to show notability to me. Papaursa (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Lacks significant coverage and fails to meet any notability standards. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - He is a member of the University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame. I'm not sure if that's prestiguous enough to pass the "member of Hall of Fame" catagory of WP:NCOLLATH, but it's worth a discussion. Also some significant media coverage when he was signed by the UFC and was named the 1995 Wrestler of the Year for his state by Wrestling USA Magazine. Also, according to his bio page, he competed in the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships in 2003 and 2005. That combined with his two top-tier fights should be enough to meet WP:GNG if the article is improved a bit. Luchuslu (talk) 15:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Virtually every college has a sports hall of fame, that's not what WP:NCOLLATH is referring to--it means the HOF for that sport. I added sources independent of the subject (which his team's site is not) about his ADCC record. I don't think he meets WP:GNG yet because the article still needs better sources, but I think his whole record is enough to meet WP:MANOTE. It's not just that he competed at the ADCC, but that he won 3 bouts there. Papaursa (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. How on earth is a list of night buses in London indiscriminate? Buses in London are regulated by TfL and the night buses are an explicitly defined set. The fact that the routes are not individually notable is not relevant as the subject of night buses in London as a whole is notable. There is much directory information here, but there is also non-directory information such as the histories, so it needs editing not deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 18:01, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Night buses in London may well be a valid subject, but a list of routings is not. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:03, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that Night buses in London is a redirect to this article, which includes both a list and encyclopaedic discussion of the topic and of (some of) the individual routes. Please comment on the content, not just the title. Thryduulf (talk) 09:21, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This seems to be the only article specifically about London's night buses, which are of special interest to Londoners as the rest of public transport shuts down overnight. This is a notable topic as there have been such services for over a century and there is at least one substantial book devoted to the topic — London's Night Buses — plus plenty of coverage in more general works about London's buses, which are numerous. The article currently has a list format but that's a natural consequence of the topic, for which the routes form a natural structure. So, the claims of the nomination are refuted and our editing policy applies. Warden (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Question Does the book actually provide detailed information on individual routes? And is Capital Transport Publishing considered a publisher of reliable books? Can you please also identify the other reliable sources which cover the specific topic of different routes to which you allude? From having seen the extremely specific collection of books on buses on the top floor of the London Transport Museum's shop I suspect that this is a notable list, but I can't establish this. Nick-D (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as there's a book published on the subject. The article can be either as re-direct to List of bus routes in London#Night only routes (N-prefixed), or as a sub-list (with more detail, per WP:SUMMARY) of the above article. Perhaps there needs to be a merge discussion on the talk page and a discussion about how much detail we need in the article. Edgepedia (talk) 13:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Many London bus routes have their own articles. It really makes no sense to introduce an intermediate level of detail for a limited set of routes. It would make a certain sense to split this out into stubs for each section. Mangoe (talk) 16:16, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Nakamura definitely fails the main conditions of WP:NFOOTY: "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable." Nakamura in fact fits the particular case cited: "A player who signs for a domestic team but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable." The only way of then saving this is to argue that his youth career received sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. While he seems to have garnered some attention both in high school and in college, I just don't see enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 16:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Delete - I'm far from convinced this meets GNG: the Cambridge News source is both a local one, and a very routine one; the Wales Online one seems OK; the North Wales Weekly News/Daily Post one is a routine article about an injured player; and the BBC Sport article listed here is fairly routine as well, talking about a player's transfer. But it is borderline, I think. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 21:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Still a delete IMO, there are plenty of non league players (especially those in the BSP) who gain reasonable press coverage in one way or another especially if like this player you've played for more than one club in different parts of the country. The welsh press is essential regional coverage, outside of Wales it wouldn't be covered due to small size of the clubs. However we've kept Godfrey Poku due to press coverage in the past and despite having played for the team i support and i've edited the article I don't think it's notable enough. I don't see how a collection of cuttings from regional press plus mentions in the odd BBC article passes WP:GNG and suddenly makes a player notable. Due to the coverage the Conference now receives from national papers doing an odd report, the bbc doing every match and included some news stories copypasta from websites, the new deal with BT Sport for live matches and of course the very enthusiastic local press makes a player deserving of an article. If it does, you could quite easily justify articles for hundreds of more non league players who would fail on the very basic rules of WP:football. Narom (talk) 15:27, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete -- Wrexham have been in the Conference not the League since 2007/8. This is not a fully-pro league. Until WP:FOOTYN identifies the Conference as providing notability, we cannot allow articles on its players. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Even though I've voted delete, this comment is silly. We can allow articles on Wrexham/Conference National players, as long as they meet GNG. Your blanket statement very obviously rejects this, which is daft. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:39, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- The Silver Star does not confer notability. Note that WP:SOLDIER #1 mentions a nation's highest award for valor - in this case, the Medal of Honor - confers notability, while #2 says that multiple awards of the second highest award confer notability. The Silver Star is the third highest award the U.S. gives for valor (second would be the various forms of the Service Cross) - unless he had an entire chestful of the things, it (to use the vernacular of the time) counts for precisely bumpkis when it comes to notability. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment, commanding a squadron in wartime is not an insignificant rank (what's the equivalent to Wing Commander in the USAAF, Colonel?), and the silver star isn't insignificant either. The squadron itself (No. 429 Squadron USAAF) will have had its history written. He's also dead and notability requirements are lower for dead people. There is some potential here at least. Barney the barney barney (talk) 21:36, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As mentioned above, as the Silver Star is the third-highest award for valor given by the U.S. military, it is of no relevance when it comes to meeting WP:SOLDIER.

Plus, he flew 35 missions during WWII isn't it significant? An expansion on the article would have been appreciated, but I just can't find proper sources. Maybe someone would do it instead nominating it for deletion? Would be thankful. By the way, this is my first article on soldiers, and it would be a shame to delete it.--Mishae (talk) 14:37, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Consensus has been that the Silver Star does not constitute a major or significant award. Depending on where you look, something like 50,000 Silver Stars were awarded in World War II with a total of 100,000 to 150,000 being awarded since 1932. He is, in fact, one of many thousands of aviators who served the United States in World War II. Not every squadron or company commander who has served in war is inherently notable. There does not seem to be any major sourced detail that sets him out above those many others. There are a lot of opportunities around the internet to memorialize the dead, but Wikipedia is not one of them. Though his service was, I am sure, honorable he just does not seem to meet our notability guidelines. EricSerge (talk) 14:55, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- How about you will improve the article rather than yelling what Wikipedia is not, and throwing your consensus around, (which I personaly don't care about) :) As far as "Not every squadron or company commander who has served in war is inherently notable" comment, maybe John Fraser Drummond is not notable too? Not to mention that it talks about memorials on the page there too, which your stupid consensus is in such hate. Yet, I am shocked to see Funeral and Memorials section in John Fraser Drummond article! Maybe I don't know what is considered to be a memorial and whats not under the consensus double standard?.. Another question, correct me if I am wrong, but there were a lot of soldiers who didn't got a medal of any kind at all, therefore your consensus should rely at least on Silver Star medals...--Mishae (talk) 17:18, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Drummond was an Ace. That is what sets him up above the rest from the standpoint of notability. If you follow the WP:NOTMEMORIAL link that I keep inserting, the relevant part in this case is: "Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements (emphasis in the original)." No one is yelling here but you sir. Take a deep breath, if this this is your grandfather or something, I am sorry for your loss as I am sure he meant a lot to you.
- Before I weigh in on a deletion discussion, I go look for a reliable source to add to it. The purpose of Wikipedia is to add knowledge. Community consensus, not my consensus, determines what gets included. This consensus is shaped by standards and practices written across thousands of words in rules, guidelines, essays, and discussions like this one and has shaped the idea of what does and does not belong. It can be overwhelming, but I will tell you many of us have been in this discussion before. The only difference is the name of the article, and the result was deletion for failure to show notability through reliable sources. EricSerge (talk) 18:51, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For fucks sake this guy is not my grandfather or a friend, he is just a person just like everyone else is, though distinguished with a Silver Star which your consensus rejects simply out of stupidity! And this guy is not a flying ace? He flew 35 damned missions in WWII alone! Let me explain so that your head will get it, I was searching Google for a similar guy a physicist named Walter Kutschera, and stumbled on this one, got it? So, in short, he is not my grandfather or a friend, and I never knew of his existence before that day! Question, if he would have died in WWII (like in combat) would he be of any value to Wikipedia?--Mishae (talk) 19:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I suggest you remain civil and calm down. The points being made are backed by consensus. If you don't care about that, as you say above, then perhaps you should reconsider whether you want to edit Wikipedia. And the answer to your last question is no, it would make no difference to his notability. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - Not entirely sure what you're saying there, but I do see plenty of hits on Google News for both Vickers and Valence versions of her name, but nothing that looks substantial. (and have added a Find Sources template for Ashley Valence). Although she undisputably passes WP:HOTTIE, I think any sourcing for her would be very slight. There is quite a lot of gossipy coverage of her relationship with Jake Pavelka, judging by a Google search for Vickers and Pavelka. I also came across a video she presented for Maxim recently. I don't feel I can vote one way or the other, as it all seems a bit borderline. Mabalu (talk) 01:26, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteUserfy This mall doesn't exist, and while it is possible that the speculation in 2013 about a future mall would be of interest to readers in 10 years, I think this is not the case here. At the same time, the planning for such a mall is an event, one to which WP:NOT#NEWSPAPER and WP:Notability (events) applies. The WP:BEFORE guideline states at point B6, "Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles." The Netherlands Wikipedia article shows that this is a big news story, and it has potential to be an encyclopedia article. WP:Notability (events) states, "The topic of an article should be notable, or 'worthy of notice'; that is, 'significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded'. IMO, this is an event whose story for an encyclopedia is not now timely, and will continue to be a matter of breaking news until it is known that the mall has been or will not be built. WP:Notability (events) states, "Editors are encouraged to write about breaking news events in Wikinews instead of in Wikipedia." Unscintillating (talk) 20:23, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Comment - the mall itself is not notable. What may be notable, are the planning approval processes and any controversy relating to these.

I confess this is not my specialist subject and bow to the wisdom of others who may be better informed. I came across this page as a Random article. It was badly written, full of cliche and hype, so I proceded to rewrite and tidy up. At the end, I just could not understand what made this band notable, hence this nomination. The article is completely unreferenced and has been since 2006. On the talk page, one reader in 2007 mentioned the lack of references and said, "I know the guys and can vouch for everything on here, unfortunately that would seem to fall into the "own research" category." He promised to obtain sources, but that has never happened. A Google search reveals plenty of links to Youtube and Facebook, as well as sites listing lyrics and the like, but no independent reliable coverage in the press or elsewhere. The article attempts to give notability by association, for example by mentioning guest vocalists (none of whom is notable enough for a Wikipedia article) and other bands that this one has appeared with (ditto). Nothing in the article suggests that the band is notable in and of itself.
The article was previously nominated for deletion in 2005 and was, at that time, deleted. This is clearly a much longer article, but my reading is that the band was deleted previously for lack of notability and I cannot see how that has changed. Emeraude (talk) 10:58, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I have searched in Google Bengali and found multiple mentions of this company, note the following search uses a variation of the Bengali script, see here.

- I agree that the article should be deleted but a plane trailing smoke is clearly more serious than a car, truck, train or ship doing so. If a plane has problems in the air, it can't just stop like a car, truck, train or ship. Dricherby (talk) 13:53, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. is this a personal essay masking as a Wikipedia article? Regardless, the question of an AfD is "Is the subject of the article notable"? The subject has been mentioned in multiple reliable sources, and this might be considered significant coverage.

- Delete as propaganda, the extreme form of promotionalism. We already have an article on this, cultural hegemony. Possibly a redirect should be made from this term--I think it is too closely related to make a separate article. Even if we did, the existing content is too biased to be usable, and should be removed from the history. The alternative would be to save section 1, discarding the introduction and sections 2 & 3. ( note the article link from Gramsci is not to our article, but to an outside p with a much inferior biography. And the ref RCLC found for this term is about the US attempt at cultural infiltration of the Soviet Union, a topic that is nowhere mentioned in the article. If we do have an article under this term, it should be limited to Gramsci's concept & later discussion of it. Communist attempts to affect the culture of the US, possibly based to some extent on Gramsci, US attempt to affect the USSR, possible Islamist attempts to affect the culture of the US, and many other examples throughout history, are all best discussed separately. It's not as if nobody would have thought of the idea without Gramsci. It goes back at least as far as the initial Christian attempts to convert the pagans.

- Delete This is not a actual neighborhood. It's not mentioned in reliable sources (other than a guide to presbyterian churches in 1917, but it's not clear from that listing where the "Sunset Hills" they're talking about is located; it cannot be here, since this area wasn't developed in 1917). It's not mentioned in the LA Times mapping LA project. It doesn't show up in the find sources template links above except for the odd Wikipedia scraper, and it barely shows up in a straight-up google search except for things that seem based on this Wikipedia article. It seems to have been made up by real estate agents based on the existence of a minuscule road, Sunset Hills Road, that tees off Doheny just above Sunset (map link here).— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 12:59, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete all - the "coverage" of each seems to be routine coverage of vague diplomatic discussions or minor incidents between the two countries, not coverage of the building/embassy function in and of itself. In my mind, these sort of things would only be considered significant in their own right if they had been the subject of multiple major events or an ongoing scandal or if the building itself was of historical significance. Most of these are simply office buildings, though some of them seem fancy or decorative, and the routine ambassadorial function they house does not make them inherently notable, in my view.

Should be ample sources for further development. Regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 16:36, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added several references which can be used for further development of the article, and also cleaned it up a bit, more generally. With even a quick look, there is no shortage of substantial and notable sources. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename.Merge with cancer cluster and redirect. Notable enough to be the subject of articles in the BBC (cited in article), the Washington Post [21], Reuters [22], and the Guardian [23].Should be retitled to "List of cancer villages in China" until there is sufficient prose for a separate article.Does need a lot of work.--Wikimedes (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The thing is that all these articles only vaguely use the term "cancer village" without any specific data or definition. The list in the article right now is not supported by any reliable source. -Zanhe (talk) 19:01, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point about reliable sources. (Wp:recentism and wp:notnews also apply somewhat, but the phenomenon has probably been around for decades and isn't going away soon, even if the terminology is new.) I'll wait a few days to see if someone addresses the sparseness of information in reliable sources before changing my vote to merge per your proposal below.--Wikimedes (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- News reports, references added by Sonnenfeld, and a Google Scholar search [24] establishes notability of term. It is, however a specific case of cancer clusters and should be covered there, with a redirect so that people looking for "cancer villages" can find the info. If its coverage in the cancer clusters article becomes extensive enough for a stand alone article, an article on cancer villages can be re-created. The current list is not from a reliable source and appears to be unusable. Examples of reliably documented cancer clusters in China can be added to List of cancer clusters. It also deserves mention in Pollution in China.--Wikimedes (talk) 19:26, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. According to "List of countries by population", China has more than four times as many inhabitants as the United States has, so "Cancer village in China" is at least as important as "List of Superfund sites in the United States".—Wavelength (talk) 18:35, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Superfund sites are designated by legislation from the US Congress. On the other hand, the Chinese government only "appears to have acknowledged the existence of so-called cancer villages" according to the BBC article cited as a main source. This concept is way too vague to justify its own article. -Zanhe (talk) 18:42, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete. It's ludicrous to have an article about such a vague and transient concept. What are we going to have next? Heart attack city? Diabetes town? Autism province? Car crash highway? The possibilities are endless. Even the BBC article cited as a main source says there is no technical definition for the term "cancer village". -Zanhe (talk) 18:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Alternative proposal: summarize the article and merge the information to Pollution in China. -Zanhe (talk) 18:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Heart attack city, Diabetes town, etc. - This is a straw man argument. Of course we should not have articles on phrases that Zanhe has just made up.--Wikimedes (talk) 18:04, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The concept of cancer clusters seem to go back to 17th Century English chimney sweeps, so the concept is not transient. "Cancer Village" is a term that is still in use, so it's impossible to tell if it's transient, but by the first Further reading reference in the article, it goes back at least 6 years.
- Whether a term is vague or has no technical definition is probably not relevant to whether it can be the subject of a Wikipedia article, but is useful for determining what can be included in a list.--Wikimedes (talk) 19:07, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with cancer cluster and redirect. A few lines on China should be added there. The full list of villages (Which is sourced to a map in a blog!!!!!) is certainly not notable for inclusion unless a reliable source is found talking about naming those specific villages, and it is not worth keeping. --Garrondo (talk) 20:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The term used in epidemiology is "cancer cluster", and we already have an article for that worldwide phenomenon. This article does not contain uniquely useful information, but is rather a list of villages which, if publicized, could harm their reputations. Shrigley (talk) 21:16, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- According to this page, "[t]he government of [one city, Weifang, in east China] is offering 100,000 yuan (US$16,000) to anyone who blows the whistle on companies illegally discharging waste underground." That government seems to be unconcerned about publicity (about pollution) harming its reputation.

- Comment. Much of the above discussion is focused on notability. I'd like to try to summarize here what may or may not be notable about this topic, following WP:GNG:
- Significant coverage - Do the sources address the subject directly in detail? Yes
- Reliability - Do the sources have editorial integrity? Yes: Shanghai Daily (a Chinese government-run publication), BBC News, The Lancet, Journal of Contemporary China...
- Sources - Based on secondary sources? Yes
- Independent of the subject - Yes
- Presumed - Does significant coverage in reliable sources establish a presumption of suitability for inclusion? Yes
- Beyond this, statements have been made about this being a passing sensation. News coverage goes back until at least 2007, so that is six years. Not ephemeral in today's sound-byte world... The Wei et al. (2008) study suggests that 7-8% of the population of one of the villages involved has died from cancers. The number of identified villages has more than doubled from 2007-2013. The topic and interest in it, is not going to go away. Much room for development & refinement of the topic, but I can't see deleting it because of insufficient notability. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 19:28, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect (and perhaps merge) to the cancer cluster article. There's nothing particularly significant about these villages versus other cancer clusters worldwide. Nyttend (talk) 20:33, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The significance of this particular 'cluster' (actually series of clusters) lies in the facts that i) China is the world's most populous country; ii) in recent years, it has been the most rapidly and consistently growing part of the global economy; iii) the appearance of these 'cancer villages' is a relatively new phenomenon, closely tied in with rapid industrialization; iv) they are geographically dispersed within China; v) the issue has been the focus of substantial media focus in China and around the world; vi) the Chinese government now is acknowledging that, indeed, there is a problem... If Love Canal in the United States has an article, certainly these 'cancer villages' in China deserve their own. Regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:16, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is not the way to capture this data. Cancer clusters should be held in lists, very tightly sourced, and probably not by country. The current version of the page does not clarify whether particular kinds of cancer were common in these villages. JFW | T@lk 22:37, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The word "cancer" occurs 49 times on this page, and six types of cancer are mentioned: throat cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer, esophagus cancer, and stomach cancer. Also, details about the types of pollutants are mentioned. If the list is converted to a sortable wikitable (and even if not), then those extra details can be mentioned in the Wikipedia article.

- Comment. These web pages may be of interest.
- Comment. Beyond general notability of the topic, many of the comments, above, focus on the reliability of the source(s) of the 'Selected list of cancer villages' in the article. The immediate source of that list is a blog, indeed not generally considered a reliable source. The blog entry is based on that author's 'ethnographic' work in China, and refers to the earlier (2007) map published online in China by an environmental activist. That map has been widely circulated online in China and beyond, and was updated and expanded in 2013, catalyzing a second round of press coverage. The latter is reported to have been done by an undergraduate student, again self-published online. I agree that these sources -- though widely covered -- should not be considered reliable as the basis for an encyclopedic article, and that any entries on the 'Selected list...' for which there are not additional, reliable, independent published sources should be removed. The residual question for me is whether, having removed non-verifiable entries on the list, there would be enough left of the article to justify its continuation as a stub... Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 11:25, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, as long as there is no reliable sourcing. A "map that is being widely circulated on the Internet", of unknown authorship, is about the most ridiculous piece of sourcing I've seen on Wikipedia for a while. Take that and the list of villages away and the entire content of the article is reduced to a seven-word sub-stub: "Cancer villages in China: there are some." That's all we know about them.

In the end all we have are two appearances on radio shows that are pretty unusable as reliable sources. We need something other than just radio show appearances to show notability and that just doesn't exist at this time. Just having published something isn't enough to give notability either.

- Keep - Hello, I would like to improve the artice with your help, to prevent the deletion if possible. More specifically:
'Vague claims of "resellers" and "cooperators" ': The company should have the right not to reveal its cooperators, but if necessary a list can be included in the article with all resellers and cooperators. 'nothing to indicate size of company or amount of business': Again I don't believe such information should be public knowledge, nor I can think of a way to prove one's amount of business, open to suggestions. 'No references outside the company, just two review sites': Please indicate the information on the site that needs additional references. 'Sockpuppets suspected, there are at least six users who have only ever edited this article and nothing else': Editing only one article is against the rules of Wikipedia?
Overall, I am new to Wikipedia, I would prefer someone more experienced to give me advice on improving the page rather than suggesting the deletion of it. Thank you for your understanding.

- Comment - I only did what wikipedia advises in these cases, to keep a copy in your user's page (quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help,_my_article_got_nominated_for_deletion!#How_to_save_the_article: The best is to duplicate it in a subpage (on your user page), then improve when possible (if and when sources are found), then later convert back to an article). Anyway, I think the AfD was too harsh, Dmol should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Considerations : "Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD." Nothing of the above was done. There wasn't even a warning, neither a recommendation for improvement.

- Updated comment - I had not noticed that the copy of the page was put on Balaviaris user page as a backup copy at the same time the article was listed for AFD, so I have removed my comment. However, I have added a Conflict of Interest tag to the page as Balaviaris is an employee of Economy Car Rentals as shown by his/her comments on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bonadea#Economy_Car_Rentals_page --Dmol (talk) 12:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Since my contribution on the article cannot be considered unbiased and objective, I will stop editing the Economy Car Rentals article. I only ask from a neutral user, like Dmol for example, to try and fix any remaining problems of the article. Deleting it still seems too final and completely unnecessary. Balaviaris (talk) 06:25, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I only did what wikipedia advises in these cases, to keep a copy in your user's page (quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help,_my_article_got_nominated_for_deletion!#How_to_save_the_article: The best is to duplicate it in a subpage (on your user page), then improve when possible (if and when sources are found), then later convert back to an article). Anyway, I think the AfD was too harsh, Dmol should read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Considerations : "Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD." Nothing of the above was done. There wasn't even a warning, neither a recommendation for improvement.

- And you are free to nominate those for deletion too (though I would be careful about doing so just to make a point). But the existence of other comparable articles is no reason for keeping this one. For the article to be kept, you need to substantiate that the subject is notable, per significant coverage in reliable sources. Stalwart111 08:37, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not interesting in deleting other articles, just keeping this one. I only ask for some time to find a reliable source and link it to the article. If this is the main problem of the article, perhaps replace the AfD with Refimprove. Balaviaris (talk) 09:03, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- A lack of references is a problem, but a lack of notability is a bigger problem. Obviously, you should be encouraged to find and add reliable sources, but the requirement is still for significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, so I'd be looking for more than one if I were you, because there are none at the moment. AfDs are usually listed for 7 days and then relisted if there is no obvious consensus. There are no requirements for it to remain open for any particular length of time beyond that. But you can always ask for the article to be userfied as an alternative to deletion. Or you can simply wait until significant coverage exists and then ask at WP:DRV for permission to recreate the article. Stalwart111 09:51, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- But is this coverage significant? I don't think it is. Sadler was just one of thousands of convicts transported to Australia, and presumably there is a reliable record of every one of these somewhere. Similarly there are records of births, christenings, marriages and deaths of millions of ordinary people. These records are all independent and reliable, but do not imply any particular notability. Should there be a Wikipedia article for each of these people? I agree that transported convicts are more notable than most people, but as convicts go, Sadler still doesn't seem to be particularly special. Bazonka (talk) 12:43, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Joy Electric has 27 different albums, and they've each had their own pages for many years now. It would be very cumbersome and inefficient to try to include all of them in their varying degrees of notability into the body of the band's own page. I also don't understand why this album has been brought forward for deletion a couple of times while none of the other 26 albums have. Proctris (talk) 03:28, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Your 2nd point is just the argument that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which is not accepted as a reason to keep. Your first point is answered by a separate discography page or just the name/small amount of info on album in band's article, not 'to try to include all of them in their varying degrees of notability into the body of the band's own page'. How does it meet WP:NALBUMS or WP:GNG? Boleyn (talk) 16:46, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't have an acceptable answer. The editor's standards aren't coincident with the emotional investment I have in these many album articles that I've created and maintained, which I suppose will also meet similar scrutiny in their own time. I can concede that my chief reason to keep is because it's something that is important to me personally—Joy Electric has notability but certainly not very widespread, so it would be challenging to find any "notable" reference to this album in particular. I submit that I don't have the deep technical expertice of an editor such as yourself, so I just don't understand what is gained by not having the article.

Proctis, I have not deleted any album articles, I think you must be confused. I seem to be able to see all the articles, undeleted, except one which is now a redirect, until any reliable sources can be found. Please don't take it personally - there is no need for messages like the one you have at User:Proctris. So far no other opinions have been put forward - it may well be that the article is found to be notable, we'll have to wait and see. If it is found to be non-notable, you may want to consider putting the information together into a discography article. As you obviously care about this information, you may also want to consider looking over the other articles and seeing if you can make them more verifiable and with more reliable sources. As to what is gained by deleting non-notable articles - well hopefully an uncluttered encyclopedia, full of articles on topics judged to be notable - otherwise where do you stop - why not have an article on myself, and everybody else? But that's a discussion for the community as a whole, for a wide consensus to be reached, not for the discussion of this article. Boleyn (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Let's get real - the nominator of this article has meticulously gone through the list of articles I have created and nominated numerous ones for deletion, most of which have existed for a long period of time and some of which have PREVIOUSLY been put to a vote. This nomination is gross incompetence and disregard for the process and is motivated by some animus stemming from a separate issue. Roger Festa was the President of the American Institute of Chemists. Criterion #3 for academics is met, and this nomination is frivolous. Adamc714 (talk) 02:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Question — So you're saying every president of the American Institute of Chemists is automatically notable enough for an encyclopedic biography? JFHJr (㊟) 03:16, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Answer - No, I'm saying that the criteria for academic notability says that "every president of the American Institute of Chemists is automatically notable". Under criterion #6, the question clearly becomes whether the AIC is a "major academic society". Unless there are some sub-criteria about which I am unaware that establish what counts as "major", then I think the criteria command this outcome. Adamc714 (talk) 03:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Something strange here: the article says that a "notable series of papers" was published by Festa, but I cannot find any of them in the Web of Science (all I find are three very minor papers, that have been cited just two times - and that was an obituary...) His faculty home page doesn't list any publications either. It is also difficult to gauge the importance of the American Institute of Chemists; the main society for chemistry in the US appears to be the American Chemical Society. Adamc714, as article creator you're perhaps able to give us some sources that would establish notability beyond any doubt? As for the AfD nominations, most of those articles do indeed seem problematic (and it is not at all exceptional to re-nominate an article that already underwent AfD once before - especially if the outcome was delete...). In any case, the other nominations are irrelevant here and this discussion does not seem evidence of "gross incompetence", nor "disregard of the process". A "keep" !vote based on those arguments is bound to have little influence on a closing admin's decision, so a more constructive and policy-based argument of yours would be welcome. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 13:07, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Here's a link establishing the presidency (http://www.theaic.org/about_history.html). The real question, then, is whether the AIC is a major academic institution. It's almost 100 years old, publishes its own academic journal (The Chemist), and hosts national symposia on the profession. The ACS may be better known, but the AIC apparently does the same sort of things. If it looks and acts like a major disciplinary association, chances are that it is. By subjecting its significance to a mere vote, we're just fostering a system whereby we reach arbitrary decisions. By my reading of Criterion #6, the rules governing this type of notability want to avoid such arbitrary votes. Adamc714 (talk) 15:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Well, my problem is that I cannot find anything significant published by Festa. That is highly unlikely if he had been president of a prestigious society as mentioned in PROF#6. So either there are publications somewhere that for some reason I do not find, or the society isn't all that notable. Kind of a chicken and the egg problem... --Randykitty (talk) 15:24, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - But Festa is a professor at a liberal arts college, so he is not a researcher. PROF#6 has nothing to do with publications, it only relates to the leadership position. For all we know, they purposely elected someone from a LAS college because of his focus on on teaching as opposed to researching. But we can't get wrapped up in mere speculation - either he satisfies #6 or he doesn't. Adamc714 (talk) 15:50, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Criterion 6 only comes into play, of course, if it is clear beyond any doubt that the organization in question is significant, as it is highly unlikely that a prestigious society would elect as president someone who has not a significant reputation in the field. At this point, however, it is not clear to me that the AIoC is a significant organization, so I cannot in good conscience !vote "keep" based on his presidency of that group. The fact that nothing can be found about Festa apart from this presidency actually suggests that he's only a minor player in the field at best and that, in consequence, the AIoC is not really the kind of organization intended in criterion 6. --Randykitty (talk) 16:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete Seems to fail WP:PROF. I would be hesitant to apply Criterion 6 to the presidency of an organization with only 5000 members, which is decidedly not the primary trade organization for chemists (that would be the American Chemical Society). Similarly, where there is some coverage under the Gnews link, it seems to be throughly routine and does not discuss the subject in depth. That said, he does appear to be the sort of local personality who will continue to garner coverage and may eventually cross the bar for GNG, being awfully close already.

- Weak keep If that society indeed has 5000 members, then that crosses the bar for me. I only go for "weak", though, because I still find it weird that I cannot find any significant publications. I also note that the article creator has not reacted to my query above abnout the "series of notable papers". Where does that remark come from? --Randykitty (talk) 18:51, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I did not make the series of notable papers claim, so I'm not in a position to comment on the possible source for that. It may very well not be accurate. I'm primarily defending the article on the AIoC grounds. Adamc714 (talk) 23:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- When you created the article, you mentioned a "series of papers". Where are those? (The word "notable" was indeed inserted by another editor). --Randykitty (talk) 05:10, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Delete Ray's comment seems most compelling after searching for possible notability through news. I cannot find any notable publications either. The decision here stems on his role with the organization he headed. There does not appear to be any indication that the AiC is a major institution, as it results in only a few results through news searches or Google, none of which establish significance. I would lean toward deletion. C-Star (talk) 06:29, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. While obviously not at the level of the ACS, the AIC presidency is enough for me. It has enough coverage (e.g. regular stories in the NYT about its awards) to convince me that it's sufficiently notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:03, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. This appears to be a K–10 school. Hits found with Google call it a high school. • Gene93k (talk) 15:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Indian high school. Has content and is obviously still a work in progress. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I have made some copyedits, tried to add 1—2 sources, added some categories, I can see multiple mentions of their students in Indian newspapers. The article should be moved to Christ Jyoti Convent School, in my opinion (cap)! --Tito Dutta (contact) 17:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There are multiple schools named Christ Jyoti Convent School. Christ Jyoti Convent School, Sultanpur Lodhi may be a better move target. • Gene93k (talk) 18:15, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I very rarely see you commenting at AFD. It is a privilege to talk to an AFD legend. I am honoured. Can you tell me in which other cities schools with same name exist? In Wikipedia the title is redlink! --Tito Dutta (contact) 18:56, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There is actually a huge list in Google. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:59, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Query: Would WP:NONPROFIT be the appropriate guideline by which to measure a school? MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not really. Although a guideline, it has almost as much weight as a policy. Non-profits are no more exempt from complying with notability standards than any other organisations, although we do, historically, and by well established precedent, allow some leeway for bona fide K12 (or in the case of some countries, K10) secondary schools. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case, what would the appropriate guideline be for a school like this? Would it only be WP:GNG? MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:13, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- 'Keep' - per the long established precedent as documented at WP:OUTCOMES#SCHOOLS for bona fide high schools as stated above. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:26, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well since I have your attention here, one more question...is my understanding correct that general precedent in previous AfDs as shown in that "outcomes" page also form a basis for whether articles are kept or not? Because that would be a very clear indicator in this case. MezzoMezzo (talk) 09:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibly, but I'm only a specialist on school articles. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:09, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and move per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. This school does include the grades of secondary education, so by longstanding consensus and precedent, we should probably keep it. For a move target, I would support Christ Jyoti Convent School, Sultanpur Lodhi. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 00:43, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Well established credentials, with 2000 pupils and 70 staff. This is not a fly by night operation. However, the title could be improved.--Zananiri (talk) 10:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
