Responsibility to Respect (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 phrase "responsibility to respect" is not even used in the one document cited. A single mention of a responsibility in a government-issued document does not establish notability of that concept, and it doesn't seem like this phrase has been used to discuss the concept elsewhere. At best, it's suitable for merging to a different page, but this doesn't need its own article in any case. CtP (tc) 23:09, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG horribly. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:59, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep The article was translated from the Lithuanian WP. Though I do not read Lithuanian, the article there seems to have good sources for notability, from what would appear to be a national encyclopedia. There is also a Russian version, poorly sourced, but showing what is probably notability as a designer. It should have been tagged Expand Lithuanian, not listed for deletion DGG ( talk ) 02:09, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. How was this article left unsourced for almost a decade? Good to put it up for AfD so at least it gets some attention; revamped, added references; removed unsourced material, added a category. In the media age, like it or not, TV personalities are notable, meets GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 10:13, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
None of the sources you added get her past GNG. Two of the three are small, non-notable blogs that fail WP:USERG, and the third is a primary source video in which she's the interviewer, not the interviewee, in a segment on the program she works for. Thus, at least on the basis of those sources, she fails to be the subject of independent coverage in reliable sources. In reality, TV personalities frequently fall on the wrong side of the distinction between "I've heard of them" fame and properly sourceable notability, because there's quite frequently very little or nothing we can actually write about them without relying almost entirely on primary sources. Bearcat (talk) 18:01, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • None of the sourcing here gets her past WP:GNG, as outlined above. As always, I'm willing to revisit this if good sources about her can be added, but a living person is not entitled to keep an article that's entirely unsourced as this originally was, or one that relies on primary or unreliable blog sourcing as it does now. Delete unless real reliable sources start showing up. Bearcat (talk) 18:01, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Eight sources; tons more possible; she's a celeb; it's how the world is.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • The first three sources you added still don't count for the reasons I outlined above. Of the five more you've added since: three are just photographs of her, one is a mere directory listing of a couple of television credits, and one is a steak recipe in which she's mentioned a single time as the person who e-mailed the food columnist to ask what she could do with kale. All of them, thus, fail to constitute substantive coverage of her. I'd suggest that you take some time to read WP:RS and learn what constitutes good sourcing, because the fact that you can find eight pages that happen to have her name in them does not mean that you have eight real sources for a Wikipedia article. We're looking for substantive coverage, not cursory text matches. Bearcat (talk) 20:49, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Let's agree to disagree. When BC Living magazine names Cebula as one of their 10 most beautiful people of British Columbia -- if that factlet does not float your boat, not sure if anything will.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:38, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • "Factlets", whether of the boat-floating variety or not, don't confer encyclopedic notability, sorry to say. Lots of people have been awarded non-notably local distinctions by non-notable local organizations (e.g. most beautiful person, Top 40 Under 40, Local Luminaries to Watch, etc.) without qualifying for Wikipedia articles on that basis. Bearcat (talk) 21:47, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG she has substantial coverage from multiple independent sources. We have multiple detailed interviews of her. We have repeated and ongoing coverage of her career over the years. I did a search with ProQuest for Canadian periodicals and newspapers, and found well over a hundred hits mentioning her. I simply haven't had time to add every detail available. I have removed the trivial mentions of her, so the better sources aren't lost in the mix. --Rob (talk) 18:11, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The nominator is reminded that AfD is not the Article Repair Workshop. Old unsourced BLPs were grandfathered when the new policy came about and was not a valid rationale for deletion of this article at the time of the nomination. The article is now sourced up in any event, passes GNG. Carrite (talk) 21:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Old articles are "grandfathered" as far as {{Prod blp}} goes, which means AFD is the appropriate route. There was no claim of notability that's been generally accepted in the article. Local hosting, or being a national reporter, generally isn't, by itself, enough to keep an article. The only reason the article is being retained, is because it was shown to meet WP:GNG after sources were added. --Rob (talk) 22:44, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Rob is correct, old unreferenced BLPs are only "grandfathered" in the sense that they're ineligible for the BLP prod process in particular; they are not "grandfathered" in the sense of having any entitlement to stay around in a permanently unreferenced state, and are still fully eligible for deletion via the AFD process on any of the grounds by which we might consider any other article for deletion.

  • That's still an opinion, as it's based upon your personal research. It all boils down to notability. You have to show notability for your work based upon independent and reliable sources. WP:PRIMARY sources are never usable to show notability. Bluntly put, the subject of the article isn't what is being discussed here. What's being discussed is whether or not your book passes notability guidelines. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:06, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Full disclosure, I just blocked the original editor as a promotional username. In any case, I can't find anything to show that this movie is ultimately notable enough for an entry. I remember coming across this on Kickstarter last year and doing a little bit of research on it in the hopes of finding coverage to make an article because well, quite frankly I love being able to make articles for indie films. I wasn't able to find any reviews in reliable sources and I couldn't really find anything to actually back up the claimed awards that wasn't a primary source for the director/crew. Not even the official websites for the various festivals had the film or the director on the awards lists, at least for the ones that had them listed. I did look to see if I could find anything now, and the only thing I can actually find are news stories about alleged extortion attempts- not exactly what I think that this director wants associated with his films. Unfortunately that's really the only stuff I was able to find and not something I'd really use to keep the article with, even if we could keep it on that source alone. (Which thankfully, we can't.)

  • Delete. I'll be bluntly honest: this film will almost certainly never be made. It's ultimately something someone came up with one day on DeviantArt. It could probably be speedied as a blatant hoax, since it's highly, highly unlikely that Dreamworks and Disney would come together on a film, let alone let someone else make a fan film about it- especially given Disney's overly protective stance on their works.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article de-PRODded by a University of Rochester IP with reason "I propose that this article remain on Wikipedia, as the the implications of Hayden's research for societal problems are profound". PROD reason was "Up-and-coming researcher. However, awards are minor and grants are what is to be expected of a young faculty. Web of Science lists 30 publications that have been cited 743 times (h-index=18) in this high-citation density field. Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC, WP:BIO, or WP:GNG. Article creation premature." Reason still stands, hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 17:33, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I have been watching this page since its creation with some concern. I agree with the nominator about WP:TOOSOON. On first reading, the page does appear to meet GNG because of the numerous awards described, and the publications in high-quality scientific journals. However, I looked at the subject's website (from the external links section of the page), and he is an Assistant Professor at his university. Per WP:ACADEMIC, this places him below the notability threshold for academics, absent other demonstrations of notability. (I'll point out that the consensus at WP:ACADEMIC sets the threshold for notability here higher than it is set for living persons in various other areas of accomplishment. In part, this is because of the temptation to use Wikipedia for WP:PROMO.) As for the awards, I've looked at them one-by-one, and they are all awards that are given to early-career scientists, the kinds of awards that are intended to help a young investigator get a career started. The publications are impressive, but typical of an early-career, tenure-track faculty member. If I were in the business of divining the future, I would predict that this subject is very likely to satisfy Wikipedia notability in the future. As the IP de-PRODder said, there are important implications, but we cannot get around WP:CRYSTAL until those implications are realized. For the present, it is premature to have a biographical page. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:40, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't see how this qualifies for notability under either WP:GNG or WP:ACADEMIC as it now stands. One source, albeit reliable, and reasonably independent does not do it. But this seems like a proper case for WP:IAR. The single source does provide adequate evidence that he meets the "research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline" requirement if we found a second reliable source. I do not have access to either the DNB or the back issues of The Times could someone check those? I found a biographical note, entitled "The Author" in Davies's Religion and society in the nineteenth century (1981) and have added it to the article, it is not that independent, but it is a second source.

Edit Having read the section on "Agile" in the article, this section does not seem to fit in with the rest of the article, at least, as far as I can understand the article.

  • Merge selectively to Suicide in India. I did some looking -- to the extent I can in English -- and did find a couple academic papers that touch on it, but they aren't substantial. If someone wants to take a look through the references they cite, they're here and here (both PDFs). --— Rhododendrites talk20:20, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Thanks for the references Rhododendrites. I'm not sure that "merge" would be better than "keep" – the Suicide in India article has a "Dynamics" section where two of the three sub-topics (Domestic violence and suicide, Suicide motivated by Politics and Farmer's Suicide) have links out to {{main}} articles, suggesting that if we can establish notability this one should be a standalone article. On a more general note, if it is kept than there should be a move to Police suicides in India or similar given the grammar/clunkiness problem with the current title.  Philg88 talk 05:23, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as suggested. Thus topic by itself is more of a research topic than an encyclopedia article. Bearian (talk) 22:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I wrote this article as to know information about Indian police officers suicide. Definitely article is an encyclopedia. Police is in India facing huge pressures e.g. political, system, public, family etc to deliver their duties. In this situation if they are not able to handle situations/ balance, trend says reason of their suicide and numbers are high.GKCH (talk) 03:34, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand why you think that this is important, but what we need for Wikipedia purposes is more references that back up your assertion that this is a notable topic. If you can find sources that show the trend you have identified, then the article has a much better chance of surviving this AfD.  Philg88 talk 04:16, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLP. Rui Gabriel Correia prodded it but failed to notify Piotrus, the creator, and he had it restored. I tried to BLP PROD it, at which point Rui Gabriel Correia left a note on my talk page saying "Technicallly, the page could be deleted already as I proposed deletion earlier this month and it was left uncontested for longer than 7 days. Then the banner was taken down. Does that mean the new nomination must stay in place for 7 days again?" and I left a note on Ronhjones' talk page; upon submitting, I found that Piotrus had left him a note and he had restored it.

Insufficient indications of notability. The given citations indicate that Otis has received credits in some photo shoots, and has received mention in passing for winning the inaugural P&G Beauty Awards for "Makeup artist of the year". As this is a new award ceremony, and Otis received only a "yep, she won that" mention in the coverage, it doesn't really seem like the required significant coverage.

  • Delete, for several reasons. In fact I initially speedily deleted the article, but then I decided that since this AfD has been started, we may as well allow it to be discussed. The article is promotional, it fails to demonstrate notability (despite an attempt to saturate it with numerous unsuitable references: see WP:BOMBARD). It is also sufficiently similar to the article deleted at Articles for deletion/Simone Otis that it could be considered to qualify for speedy deletion as a repost. (Note: This is one of a group of articles created and re-created by single purpose accounts, all of whose editing has been promotion for one "management company" and its clients.)

Do we really need this article? a search for RAF uniform will find the relevant page without the need for this article. This article is an orphan, so nothing links here anyway Gbawden (talk) 08:38, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Against - Why not change the page into a disambig? While it is not itself an encyclopedic entry, the pages it links to do have relevence, and anyone searching for "British Armed Forces uniforms" would benefit from a disambig page of this nature, linking to the articles they may be after. (I would also like to point out that people do not only search for RAF uniforms, and there are more military sections under the Mod than the RAF, therefore, the fact that "a search for RAF uniform will find the relevant page..." is not a reason for deletion) m8e39 10:13, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think the nominator's reference to the RAF is what is generally known in the trade as "an example"! It could equally apply to people searching for the uniforms of the other three services. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:35, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would imagine that anyone searching on this topic would use the key words "RAF uniform" or "Royal Navy uniform" etc. rather than "British armed forces uniform" so the page is arguably redundant. m8e39 please note that it is not considered good practice to move an article, as you have done to British Armed Forces uniforms (disambiguation), in the course of an AfD discussion. Please see this guideline for more details.  Philg88 talk 14:01, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Philg88 I accept that it is arguably redundant, but I think that there would be a percentage of the world who, when looking for British military uniforms, would not necessairaly know that the services have different uniforms from one another, and would search for this article. I'm not arguing to keep the article on the grounds that there are more than the RAF in Britain, I'm arguing to keep it on the grounds that people may genuinely search for this topic to find the pages it links to.

  • Keep - Mainly because I'm not seeing a deletion rationale. Deletion isn't about whether we "need it" or whether it's "useful." Maybe I'm overlooking something, but what specifically is the reason? From my point of view, what makes the most sense is to just turn it into the disambiguation page that it is (sans gallery). --— Rhododendrites talk20:41, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • From WP:NF: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject..." Have you found sources that the rest of us haven't? I understand the usefulness argument, but given the number of subjects that exist in the world, not having standards would mean Wikipedia would just turn into the web and cease to be an encyclopedia. Therefore the subjective assessment that it is WP:USEFUL isn't typically factored into deletion debates. --— Rhododendrites talk14:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Claiming a "subjective" WP:USEFUL is no more helpful than claiming a "subjective" WP:WEDONTNEEDIT. Simply put, as multiple independent reliable sources have been brought forward speaking about the film and the many notables involved, WP:NF is met. Per WP:WIP, we do not require immediate perfection if notability is shown. Thanks for trying to read my mind. We do not expect world-wide coverage. Notable to the Philippines or in Tagalog is perfectly fine for en.Wikipedia. . 06:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

No claim of notability. No significant coverage in reliable sources. The article was created by a person with a user name of JustJamesRush. A web search leads to no reliable sources giving significant coverage. SchreiberBike talk 06:05, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Non-notable individual. IMdb is not reliable or a marker for notability. Observer article is just a mention based on him tweeting that he finished a tv series quickly and doesn't relate to his notability as a film critic. Cowlibob (talk) 16:54, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Argument Against What Is Claimed
Firstly the IndieWire page / source confirms that James Rush is infact a film critic and IndieWire is a notable and reliable source which invites critics on an individual bases into its network. Secondly James Rush is just as notiable as another critic on Wikipedia Jason Gorber at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Gorber, his sources are also just as questionable. Additionally the Observer article confirms that he is in fact the editor-in-chief of Tastic Film Magazine. Finally if you search "james rush tastic film" on Google you can find this site (http://american-interior.com/film/) an official film site for a film called 'American Interior' quoting him as a film critic. The IMDB page is only listed as a source to confirm that he is infact born in 1996 and that he has previously directed and written a film. If you would like to read one of James Rush's film reviews from the 2013 Cannes Film Festival simply go to the link in the brackets (http://www.tasticfilm.com/festivals/cannes-review-all-is-lost/3000).
I would also like to say that the fact that he is featured in an Observer is the exact reason why he is notable.
There is no debate about whether he is a film critic or has been recognized as such by someone, the question is whether he is notable by Wikipedia's standards. The existing sources do not demonstrate that. Regarding the other critic you mention. That critic does appear to be more notable and regardless, other stuff exists does not change the standard of notability. SchreiberBike talk 20:19, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well SchreiberBike could I just ask in which way he is "more notable". As if you mean more search results in google belong to him, then think for a minute which name is more unique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.228.124.38 (talk) 07:59, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Firstly, please sign your contributions and log in if possible so everyone knows who said what. Sinebot won't auto sign for you every time. What was the vetting process for Indiewire? I look at their directory and it contains critics who have written for reputable organisations such as LA Times but it also contains people who only host on their own website. We're discussing this article not others if you think that article has issues fix it or report it. The Observer article discusses him as a random person who binge watched a tv show, it would be different if they hosted a film review written by him. IMDb is not a reliable source. Being mentioned on the "American Interior" site does not confer notability. Going to Cannes or any film festival does not confer notability as any freelancer can do so. Cowlibob (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, I am having trouble logging in. Secondly If you look it shows that James Rush was accredited as press at the Cannes Film Festival for the media outlet 'Tasticfilm.com' along with Peter Turner - So he is not a freelancer - if he was it actually states which members of press are freelancers or the media outlets that they are representing. Additionally, the Cannes Film Festival is the hardest in the world to get accredited for proving that any official member of press there is a high-level critic with a big audience. Finally, the vetting process for IndieWire is that you have to be a recognizable voice for critics, there as you can't apply, they just search out critics to send them an invitation to their network. I would also like to add that the list of websites run by critics, reporters and journalists that are hosting on their own website include The Verge and ScottFeinburg.com - most sites in the last five years started out as being a blog or run by someone, which James Rush did he founded Tastic Film Magazine whcih now has 13 reporters which you can find a list of at http://www.tasticfilm.com/contact-us. If you woudl like to see one of James' reviews which is on another site seprate form his own he has written for The Fan Carpet in the past you can see his review on there at http://www.thefancarpet.com/reviews/rapturepalooza/. 151.228.124.38 (talk) 18:24, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What needs to be addressed is how the subject is notable as described at Wikipedia:Notability (people) which is summarized by "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." SchreiberBike talk 21:36, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well I think that the sources here already confirm that he has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources and I think that the sources will grow more over time. 151.228.124.38 (talk) 22:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:NOTCRYSTAL, we can't base notability on speculation about the future. Cowlibob (talk) 09:14, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I said he is notable now based on those sources listed, i simply said that he will only become more notable over time. Also while Tastic FIlm Magazine is significant and has an audience in the hundreds of thousands and a following of 14.5 thousand on twitter including being followed by the hollywood reporter and deadline hollywood but it has no sources while James Rush individually has received more coverage from other publications. 151.228.124.38 (talk) 19:39, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it is a very recent book (release date: 13 Feb 2014), and although it received several brief reviews upon publication (as do all Doubleday Children's books), it received no particular attention, no real critical commentary, and fails WP:BKCRIT. It is an anthology which includes works by notable authors, but notability is not inherited. It has won no awards, appeared on no best-seller lists, and makes no claim to notability. The article's author is, almost but not quite, a single-topic editor. No conflict of interest was disclosed. --Bejnar (talk) 02:58, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Purely promotional. It's not enough that there are sources that prove that the book exists; they must also prove its notability. This is just a random anthology. RomanSpa (talk) 04:03, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm afraid not. You have misunderstood our criteria for book notability. It is not enough to show, as your amendments do, that the book exists and is being sold. For a book to be notable, it is not enough to find references to the book itself: these references must also "contain sufficient critical commentary" to go beyond a simple summary of plot or contents. Nor does it matter that the editor and many of the contributors are themselves notable: many notable people have written non-notable books. Nor does the fact that the book is raising money for charity provide notability: though worthy, this is at most cause for a sentence in our article about that charity. Generosity of spirit, though laudable, is (thank goodness) sufficiently common that not every such act requires its own Wikipedia page.
To go through our criteria for book notability one by one: (1) Book fails, as there is no critical commentary; (2) Book fails, as it has not won a major literary award; (3) Book fails, as it has not made a significant contribution to another major cultural event; (4) Book fails, as it is not regularly used for instruction in schools; (5) Book fails, as the editor is not so historically significant that any of her works are automatically notable.
I'm sorry, but any way you look at it, this book is essentially an ephemeral item. It will not be discussed a month from now, and will be forgotten within a year. It might merit a brief mention in the Battersea Dogs' Home article, but as a literary work this book is entirely of no note. RomanSpa (talk) 08:08, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now, let's go through WP:BKCRIT one more time. #1, it passes, because of the excellent sourcing in The Guardian and The Times, and the BBC. Therefore, #2, #3, #4 and #5 are redundant, because Notability:Books' criteria list is a list of criteria for INCLUSION, not deletion- "A book is generally notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, one or more of the following criteria": Anarchangel (talk) 23:33, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think you have misunderstood our criteria: we need the references to "contain sufficient critical commentary". I agree that the references certainly prove that the book exists, but we need more than just a summary of the stories included: we need more than the uncritical admiration of the young reviewer writing "I love cats. Cats are cool.". Just because someone likes something does not make it notable. RomanSpa (talk) 04:51, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Though the article is a bit unclear, this is a student dance group at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. (As far as I can tell, this is not an established dance style. The word is a portmanteau of Iñupiaq and Yupik, two major Alaska Native groups that each have their own dance styles.) I can't find any significant coverage of the student group. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Song duels" (probably referring to Inuit throat singing) are something completely different from this dance group. Note: the content on "song duels" now in the article was added by Montanabw. This is a specialized skill/tradition and there is nothing to indicate that any of the members of Inu-Yupiaq have ever participated in song duels/throat singing. This is a fusion group that combines a variety of notable dance forms from various Alaska Native groups (on which we should but apparently do not yet have articles). We should have Inupiaq dance, Yupik dance, etc. (perhaps even Alaska Native dance if a reasonable summary of the various groups' traditions can be constructed), but not this. This fusion group itself is non-notable - search for "Inu-Yupiaq" and you get basically nothing besides some stuff from the university. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note Alaska Native storytelling. Public performances of dance groups represent the only opportunity for many people who neither live in nor have visited a village to experience storytelling traditions RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 13:09, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Appears to be the only article on Alaska Native dancing in WP, I see room to improve the article, but not to delete it. How about you take my source material and add to the article to build it into something decent? Montanabw(talk) 17:46, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see anything here worth preserving. The title is the name of one specific college dance group. ("Inu-Yupiaq" is an invented word.) As for sources on that specific group, there are none from outside the college. Tons of non-notable student groups get mentioned in college papers periodically. To the extent the article strays from the topic of "Inu-Yupiaq" and discusses Native song/dance generally, that content is confusing, unsourced (apart from one point about song duels that belongs in Inuit throat singing), and combines a variety of Alaska Native traditions in a way that doesn't make much sense. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:02, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While I agree that off-campus sources are needed, i.e. third-party (bearing in mind that a university newspaper is a third party to the group, likewise any publication of the university itself), it's not like individual dance groups with individual dance styles don't have a presence on Wikipedia, nor is there any reason to forbid that e.g. La La La Human Steps. And this The content on native dance/singing generally is confusing, unsourced (apart from one point about song duels that belongs in Inuit throat singing), and combines a variety of Alaska Native traditions in a way that doesn't make much sense." doesn't call for deletion, it calls for making sense, if possible, about what is there. "Tons of non-notable student groups get mentioned in college papers periodically" is also not clear and confusing, and prejudges whether they are notable or not; have you looked up any Alaska publications that might mention them, or is this just a IDONTLIKEIT plaint? University newspapers are incestuous, yes, but they are still third-party publications. And who cares if the name is a "portmanteau" (a word overused in wikipedia for an amalgam or combination)? That has zip to do with anything.Skookum1 (talk) 18:25, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:CLUB for the need for something beyond student papers. I am from Alaska, and any group that is important would be discussed in the Anchorage Daily News, the paper of record for the state. The Fairbanks News-Miner would also cover things of local importance in Fairbanks. Neither paper has ever discussed the group in any detail. (The group has been listed fewer than 10 times in local event listings, with no further detail.) Given that article is titled after a specific dance group, it does not make sense to clean up the general content about Alaska Native dance on this particular page. It would be essentially the same as Wikipedia locating its general article about ballroom dance under the title Crimson Tide Ballroom Dancers (of the University of Alabama, to pick a totally arbitrary example). I make the portmanteau point for people unfamiliar with Alaska Native groups, who might mistakenly think that Inu-Yupiaq is a Native people. (It is not.) Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:35, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Since you brought up Tom Johnston, another problem with coverage of the University of Alaska: most existing coverage of "notable faculty" reads like thinly veiled self-promotion of current or recent faculty, in the process missing the boat on reflecting what's really notable. Dr. Johnston was quite an interesting person. Unfortunately, his murder at the hands of his housemate in 1994 probably attracted more attention than anything he accomplished during his life. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 13:09, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retitle/Rewrite – First off, coverage of the University of Alaska System and that which falls under its umbrella is an unfocused mess in general, ripe for spam and POV forking. Second, this particular group is not that terribly notable. Native dancing as a whole is most certainly notable. Many dance groups are possibly notable in and of themselves, but it's hard to say whether you could get much more than a series of copycat permastubs out of the deal should you choose to go that route. If you're looking for notability in the context of Native dancing at UAF, there is the Festival of Native Arts, held annually in late February/early March for several decades, which regularly attracts dance groups (not to mention crafts vendors) from around the state. From my perspective as a Fairbanks-area resident who is involved with Native people and issues on an almost daily basis, the Barrow and Anaktuvuk Pass groups travel around regularly, groups from the western coast come here for most big events (and presumably travel to Anchorage more often), plus there are a number of Athabaskan dance groups. Athabaskan dances share similar traits with Inupiaq and Yupik dances, but have their own variations; Kaltag Stickdance, anyone?

Discussion about unrelated traditional dress and other Native culture topics
I don't think there's any way to know what dance troupe is depicted in that file without further information. Inu-Yupiaq appears to perform in similar clothing,[15] but so do many other Native dance groups in the state.[16] Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:45, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The better known and organized dance groups tend to dress uniformly in performance. For instance, the Barrow group distinguishes itself by virtue of the males wearing crisp white dress shirts during performances. There are people involved with Inu-Yupiaq who are full-time residents of Fairbanks, mostly UAF staffers and former students. However, most students are back home (or working summer jobs) during the majority of the tourist season. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 13:09, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I stand by my vote. Generalized coverage of the overlying topics covered in the article is sorely lacking, rendering it at best a POV fork and at worst not entirely subtle advertising/promotion for the student group, with just enough off-topic material thrown in to make it appear legitimate to the untrained eye. I tend to be turned off when I read posts containing a fondness for quoting policy and guidelines not dissimilar to a preacher quoting the Bible. WP:WTF-EVER et. al. isn't going to read Wikipedia content and conclude that it lacks credibility, but real people out in the real world will do exactly that. IF you are insisting that I treat this nomination as though it exists in a vacuum, then and only then will I say Delete. Please feel free to clarify whether that was your intention.

NN 409,316 sq. ft. mall. Was PRODed, but PROD was removed. Epeefleche (talk) 03:39, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Which of the refs you added do you believe, when taken together, reflect the requisite substantial coverage, that is not ordinary run-of-the-mill stuff that all non-notable malls have?
ref 1 (27-store mall opened, per local paper),
ref 2 (50th anniversary, per local paper),
ref 3 (a 6-word mention, within a parenthetical, within a sentence, as to not the mall--but the mall's location),
ref 4 (a photo??),
ref 5 (50th anniversary, per local paper),
ref 6 (a non-RS "shopinvictoria" ref)
ref 7 (a non-RS "Our Story" ref)

  • You probably won't think so, but all of them. Diminishing the additions to the article because you don't think they matter does nothing to diminish the article itself or its notability. Another thing I'd like to know is how you think neither the sixth reference (which backs 1, 2 and 5) nor the seventh (which confirms already well-known historic information) meets reliable sources standards in your view?

  • Speedy merge Delete  Fails WP:V.  Sourcing is so lacking that the article requires a complete rewrite to satisfy WP:V.  I wasn't able to wp:verify the size of the centre.  I looked at Google books and news.google.com/newspapers.  Unscintillating (talk) 22:53, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing !vote to speedy merge.  Northamerica1000 has found a few sources and added them to the article, although not a source to verify the size of the mall.  He supports a merge to Victoria, British Columbia, and Epeefleche has initiated the merge, here.  So there is no longer an argument for deletion, nor is there any support for a keep.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I could see a redirect. But nothing to merge. The text is all uncited and challenged. Any new material could be created and cited properly at the target. Epeefleche (talk) 23:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've added citations from reliable sources to the article ([18], [19], [20]), which better-qualifies the merge. NorthAmerica1000 00:29, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Feel free to redirect to an appropriate target, if desired (is it common to redirect a mall to the article about the city in which it resides?). I can restore the article temporarily for the purposes of merging, if requested. ‑Scottywong| babble _ 15:22, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I could see a redirect. It is already mentioned at the target. But there is almost nothing to merge. The only cited text is the square footage. The rest is all uncited and challenged. Any new material could be created and cited properly at the target. Epeefleche (talk) 23:47, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've added sources to the article to better-qualify the merge. NorthAmerica1000 00:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The mall was already mentioned at the target. Before this AfD was started. And the refs (which I would suggest should have been created at the target) are now reflected there. So a redirect seems more appropriate. Epeefleche (talk) 01:00, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment  Nom has stipulated that the mall centre was already wp:prominent at another topic in the encyclopedia before the nomination, which as per WP:ATD meant that the topic was not eligible for deletion for non-notability at the time of the nomination.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • What? Are you confusing mention of it in another article on a broader subject, with notability necessary to qualify it for a standalone article??? Two wildly different things. Epeefleche (talk) 00:55, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Analysis  The "???" and the word "wildly" show that this is a logical fallacy called an appeal to emotion.  The questions literally ask if I am confusing something, so are not really questions to me but are talking past me to a perceived audience, to associate my post with the word "confusion".  In addition, there is a core contrast that basicly says that topics that fail WP:N and as per WP:ATD are eligible for merge, should not be confused with topics that pass WP:N.  This is both a truism and a strawmanUnscintillating (talk) 00:25, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment  [23] states that in addition to the 335,000 sq ft, there are 190,000 "ancillary" sq ft.  I have been studying the centre's website, which includes a link to [24], dated September 2013.  The size of 335,000 is incomplete because there two smaller shopping centres in the same parking lot, along with a large "Real Canadian Superstore" and a "Canadian Tire" which are two of the largest stores in the complex.  I get the following numbers. 
  • Westshore Village, 67237 sqft
  • Eastgate Centre, 17691 sqft
  • The Real Canadian Superstore, largest store in the complex, possibly around 90,000 sqft
  • Canadian Tire, one of the large stores in the complex, possibly around 40,000 sqft
Unscintillating (talk) 02:47, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, or Redirect to List of shopping malls in Canada. No evidence of notability. The broader question here is why does it matter how many square feet it has? The fundamental policy is WP:GNG, which says nothing about square feet. What it does say (under Wikipedia:NRV#Notability_requires_verifiable_evidence), is, The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition. If a mall consists of a newspaper stand and a coffee shop, crammed into 500 square feet, but it's getting multiple articles written about it in national newspapers, then it's notable. If it's got a million square feet, 600 stores, and 10 acres of parking lots, but nobody other than the real estate industry rags are writing about it, then it's not notable. It's not our job to pick a number of square feet and declare that above this line, we bestow the mantle of notability. An article in a construction industry magazine talking about how many pieces of sheetrock were used does not establish notabiltiy. An article in a local newspaper talking about traffic congestion does not establish notability. A list of which generic big-box retailer, which generic drug store chain, which generic fast-food restaurant, which generic shoe store, which generic movie theater, and which generic supermarket have leased space does not establish notability. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:10, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
