The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Rules of thumb are precisely that and do not replace detailed examination of the article against wider inclusion criteria. In cases where an article is reasonably shown not to meet the gng than the bar is set higher and since we do not have basic details like date of birth than it seems reasonable to give less weight to arguments for inherant notability than those arguing delete based on wider policy.

Non-notable BLP SageGreenRider (talk) 23:27, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Technically passes WP:CRIN, but perhaps this is an example where we have to remind ourselves that they are only guidelines: single match, no runs, no biographical details. StAnselm (talk) 05:28, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: WP:CRIN is a guideline that suggests when a player is likely to be notable enough to have significant coverage. Part of the reason for blanket policies such as this, is that we don't always have access to local sources. Generally a first-class cricketer, even one who only played one match, will have received significant coverage in independent local sources. That said, this is clearly an extreme case. On the evidence we have access to online, the player does not meet GNG, as there is no significant coverage, what we have is purely statistical. Harrias talk 08:35, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep as passes WP:NCRIC. If people want to challenge WP:NCRIC, they should start a proper discussion/debate at WT:CRIC or WT:NSPORT. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:59, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, if the consensus here is keep then I think WP:NCRIC is too low a bar and should indeed be reviewed. For example, if the topic is a author, then it's not enough to publish a book with a reputable publisher. WP:AUTHOR read in part In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. Or maybe WP:AUTHOR is too high of a bar? SageGreenRider (talk) 14:54, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Authors write books. Cricketers play cricket. According to policy neither is notable until multiple independent reliable sources publish significant coverage about what they do. I do not believe such coverage exists in the case of the subject here. SageGreenRider (talk) 21:03, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Where do we draw the line? A single major cricket match is the only possible line we can draw, otherwise what is the solution? We have a single, universally workable, criterion by which we judge whether a cricketer is notable for inclusion. We already make it a point to include the most comprehensive and accurate source available to us as to whether or not a cricketer is "notable" by this rule. No further complication needs to be made. Bobo. 23:40, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: As far as I understand it, the guidelines are exactly the same for every competitive team sport. Cricket, football, American football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey... dozens that I've probably forgotten. Bobo. 23:49, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment WP:BLP says in part "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." ...so that's what the line is. It beats an expediency based on a singular event IMHO. SageGreenRider (talk) 00:16, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Please forgive me if I sounded abrupt in my comment. I haven't edited Wikipedia properly for a long time so it's rather fortunate I managed to catch this AfD notification when I did. Bobo. 00:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The awkward thing about subject/topic-specific guidelines is that they need to exist so that we do have *some* lower bar. When I started making lists of redlinks of cricketers who (by WP:CRIC guidelines) are notable, I was never expecting there to be as many redlinks as there at first were, especially within English cricket - given how well the subject is already covered. Bobo. 00:36, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • WP:N says in part "...notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time..."
    • WP:BLP says in part "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
    • WP:MUST says in part "...the burden of evidence to provide reliable sources is on the editors that include it. Unless you can indicate what and where the sources are, they are not verifiable." I understand that local sources are not very accessible to us, but I seriously doubt that the subject of this article ever received substantial coverage in some as yet undiscovered source. SageGreenRider (talk) 17:04, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment: What the guideline is saying here is that Perera is presumed to be notable. In other words, there would be lots of references to him in Sri Lankan newspapers of the 1990s, if only we could find them. StAnselm (talk) 19:10, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment he is obviously notable for having played a first-class match. But we must also note that his date of birth is unknown and so is his given name. The only thing we can write about him is regarding the solitary match he appeared in. I feel we shouldn't create articles on cricketers with such limited information available. 117.192.188.97 (talk) 07:17, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd say delete, and it's best to not create articles on cricketers whose first name and date of birth both are unknown. Perera is a common surname and "S. Perera" could refer to anyone with that surname and whose first name starts with S. If either of these two basic details (first name and date of birth) can be found on a reliable source, this article might be worth keeping. 117.192.168.221 (talk) 07:58, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I totally agree with User:SageGreenRider that a policy that argues for keep for such non-entities is broken. I can see this entry as part of a list, but such substubs with no chance of ever growing should not be considered valid individual articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:52, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If this article *does* get deleted then there needs to exist a serious conversation about the consistency of the notability rules for almost all aspects of WP:ATHLETE, which is inextricably linked to WP:BIO. Yes, I know at the end of the day WP:GNG trumps them all, but this article is not the only article about a first-class cricketer with no known first-name and only a single first-class appearance. We can't have one rule for one and one rule for others. There needs to be consistency. A cricketer who has appeared in a single first-class match is no different from an American footballer who has just one NFL appearance, an ice hockey player who has only one NHL appearance, etc, etc. There are thousands of articles on Wikipedia about cricketers with just a single first-class appearance. Bobo. 20:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Whatever the outcome, it seems to me that the presumption in WP:ATHLETE that every appearance will automatically generate substantial coverage is seriously flawed and needs review. A typical newspaper write up will only give substantial coverage to three or four players. In cricket, you have 22 so most won't get even a mention, never mind substantial coverage. In American football the problem is even worse because of free substitution. If each side has an offensive, defensive, and specialty 11, you have 66 players in a game. I'm guessing 60+ of those will not receive substantial media coverage. SageGreenRider (talk) 20:53, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for being reasonable throughout all of this SageGreenRider. All I will say is that this cricketer is by no means in a unique situation regarding Wikipedia. By working to what a lot of people would consider the "lowest" possible bar (cricketers with a single first-class appearance as directed by WP:CRIC guidelines), I feel that it would be easier to "start from the bottom" and work up, if that makes sense. (Incidentally, that's what I meant when I was referring to a "lower bar" above). Bobo. 21:00, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've just realized that for all my defence of this article I haven't actually !voted myself. Speedy keep for the simple reason of consistency, with the opportunity for further discussion in the right places. As I've explained above, the notability guideline for every single competitive team sport is the same, and if we disallow one from a list of thousands who share the same quality, someone has to go and disallow thousands of others, not just from cricket but from at least five other sports. Cricket is not alone on Wikipedia for being a sport which allows articles for people with a single professional appearance. If I may suggest that if this article is kept, discussion is ignited at the appropriate place for discussion regarding the guidelines on individual sports - of which I believe for competitive team sports, they are all the same - consistent and simple to follow and adhere to. Bobo. 07:02, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete sports guideline says that "the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept", for a single match player whose name we don't know I doubt any good sources exist, let alone finding them. A reasonable standard would be if a player regularly appears in games and/or if fans at the time could easily recognize them then they probably would have good coverage, thus notable. Single match no-names, not so much. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 00:41, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Rainbow unicorn. This does not pass WP:NSPORT which clearly says "In addition, standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline." The keep !votes here have not offered any policy-based argument. StAnselm (talk) 00:48, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to disambiguate here. There are no articles for these villages and en.wiki is not a wiki-dictionary to disambiguate terms and proper names. XXN, 22:50, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see no sense in such false disambiguation pages for non-existing articles. Here, on en.wp, probably does not exists a single article about a Romanian village, but there are tonns of such false disambiguation pages with no direct links to relevant articles with titles containing the disambiguated term! With similar succes we can create disambiguation pages for all streets around the world, 98% of them being non-notable and thereby disambigs being useless. Well, you can close this debate, but there is necessary an adjustment to related policy to not admit such ″disambiguations″. --XXN, 16:05, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That's a disappointing response. AfD is not here for you to nominate articles because you think the guidelines shouldn't allow them, but because you think they don't meet thr guidelines. Changing guidelines is a topic for discussion elsewhere. This is in no way a false disambiguation page. It links to relevant articles containing information on the disambiguated term, and it's information the reader is interested in, and that your proposal would hide from them. No, we couldn't create dabs for all street names, because they are not things worth mentioning in articles, so there would be no basis for a dab entry for the vast, vast majority of road names. The fact that there aren't many articles on Romania shows room for improvement on our coverage of non-Anglophone topics, not a reason to try to make the information harder for readers to find. As you won't remove your nomination, despite your mistake being pointed out to you by several editors, other editors will have to waste their time as this will probably have to remain open for several days.

  • Delete for now as I see no better improvement. SwisterTwister talk 07:31, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or userfy. The article is overly promotional ("foremost atheist author" etc.) Most links are to his own articles or his books on Amazon. Every URL was mal-formed (I've fixed that) which made verifying the sources rather difficult. Others link to pages that seem unrelated to the subject. I suspect that the author of this article should have gone through AfC because they don't understand notability or referencing. If nothing else, this is too soon because the book's date on Amazon is Oct 15, 2015, so it's only been out a few weeks. The article was created 2 days ago. We should at least offer "userfy" and going through AfC. However, I'm not very hopeful that it would pass. LaMona (talk) 19:38, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as per nom and above editors. LaMona's assessment is particularly spot-on. I would agree with the userfy, except the creator of the article has not shown an interest in participating in this discussion. Onel5969 TT me 12:57, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's unclear what this is, and I'd say that it's just not necessary. It looks like it's going to reproduce, in part, what we already have in our lists (in the Compared to other years section). I can't be sure of this, but that's what it looks like. The user that posted this fails to communicate, so we'll likely never know, but some of their other other creations have been problematic. At one point, the editor requested deletion, only to change their mind half an hour later. This article is not a good fit for WikiProject Earthquakes.

  • Keep. An event is presumed to be notable if it receives significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope. From de:Haining Open 2014 the verifiable notability of the 2014 ought to be unquestioned. I did a search for sources on this years tournament, and there are plenty, a little selection in four languages...[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Poorly-sourced WP:BLP of a politician notable primarily as a city councillor. Prior discussion landed at no consensus, and there's been no discernible improvement since, so it's time for a revisit. While Indianapolis is a large enough city that a councillor could be deemed to pass WP:NPOL #3 if the article were substantively written and properly sourced, the "automatic inclusion for big city councillors" which was cited by the keep side in the original AFD applies only to cities in the global city class of metropolises — which Indianapolis is not in. Every past or present Indianapolis city councillor who actually has a Wikipedia article got that article for holding some office at the state or federal levels after their terms on city council — with the exception of the newly created Zach Adamson, also already up for deletion, nobody else has an article if Indianapolis' city council is the highest level of notability they have attained. In addition, this article is sitting on one solitary reference — a Blogspot entry, which doesn't count as a reliable source per WP:BLOGS. Despite claims of further sourceability in the original discussion, not even one source has been added to the article in the intervening four years — and even in the original discussion, the dispute hinged on whether or not there was enough sourcing that was substantively about her. And on the matter of substance, all we've got here is that she voted for the city's human rights ordinance in 2006. None of this, neither the sourcing nor the substance of the article, is enough to get a city councillor into Wikipedia. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:31, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The minimum standard for automatic "because she exists" inclusion of a city councillor is not "metropolitan city of regional prominence" — it's "alpha, beta or gamma class global city", which Indianapolis is not. In a city in Indianapolis" "metropolitan but not globally prominent" class, a city councillor could pass WP:NPOL #3 if her passage of WP:GNG, on the strength of media coverage, was already demonstrated in the as written version of the article — but Indianapolis is not a city where city councillors get an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist. It's a city where a city councillor only gets an article if you can write a good and well-sourced one right off the bat, and not one where any councillor ever gets to keep, even temporarily, an article that's written and sourced like this. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just because no one's taken the time to improve the article does not mean that the article is not notable. Fyi - This does seem to be more of a personal matter to you. --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 18:40, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, "because no one's taken the time to improve the article" does "mean that the article is not notable". City councillors in places outside the global city class of cities are not a class of topic that are entitled to an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist; they're a class of topic that only gets to have an article if that article is already well-written and well-sourced enough to satisfy WP:GNG right off the bat. If you think she can be sourced well enough to satisfy WP:NPOL #3, then the onus is on you to show that by actually putting in the work to source her over NPOL #3 — but our notability standards for city councillors do not permit her to even temporarily keep an article that's sourced exclusively to a Blogspot blog with no evidence of RS coverage shown. Even a person who actually held an "automatic NPOL pass" office, like a President of the United States or a state governor, still wouldn't get to keep an article that was sourced that poorly.
And no, it's not "personal", except insofar as respecting and maintaining and following Wikipedia's content and sourcing and inclusion standards is a thing that we're all supposed to take seriously. Bearcat (talk) 00:46, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Consensus has consistently been that we do not routinely include members of the city council for even large cities like Indianapolis. The only US cities I'm sure we include are NYC and Chicago, & I think I could justify Boston. Outside the US, it would depend on the role of the council.

WP:BLP of a politician notable primarily as a city councillor. While Indianapolis is certainly a large enough city that a member of its city council could potentially be considered to satisfy WP:NPOL #3 if the article were well-written and well-sourced, it is not in the narrow range of global cities for which we automatically accept all city councillors — with one exception which I'm about to nominate separately, every past or present Indianapolis city councillor who actually has a Wikipedia article got that article for holding some office at the state or federal levels after their terms on city council. And this article, for that matter, is neither well-written nor well-sourced, reading like a campaign brochure and resting entirely on primary sources like his own website, a newspaper article in which he's the bylined author and not a subject, and a press release on the website of a directly affiliated organization. All of which means that nothing here is substantive enough, or sourced enough, to get him into Wikipedia. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:09, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're misreading the claim. Indiana had openly LGBT elected officials before Adamson; he's just being claimed here as the first LGBT person to hold office at the county level in particular, not the first one to hold any office whatsoever in the entire state. And while that might be enough to make him eligible for a properly sourced article, no claim of notability ever entitles a person to keep an article that's parked exclusively on primary sources. Bearcat (talk) 16:52, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree except for the last part. Cut the cake fine enough and we all have a piece. First LGBT elected official at the Indiana county level is a pretty fine cut - not notable even with decent sourcing.Peter Rehse 17:23, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

He is not, was not first openly elected county official in Indiana, Sue Wanzer elected to Monroe County School Board, Bloomington, IN from 2000 to present, Elizabeth Cure Monroe County Circuit Judge 2008 to present...if there are two that precede him, there are probably more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.188.224.2 (talk) 19:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ostensibly a WP:BLP of a musician, this is actually a WP:COATRACK for his album instead of an article about him. The problem, however, is that WP:NALBUMS specifies that an album cannot have an article if the musician or band who recorded it doesn't have an article first — and moving the album's article so that it's simultaneously serving as an "article" about the musician is not a bypass around that if the content is all about the album. Furthermore, the article is resting entirely on primary and unreliable sources, with no evidence of coverage in any reliable sources to confer notability on either the musician or the album. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can find enough sources to do this properly next time (i.e. a BLP of the musician as an actual topic in his own right, and then a separate article about the album.)

Non-notable institute. Despite editing from various new accounts for 3 weeks, the article has no independent sources, and no evidence of notability independent of the main university. Note: I removed one link to an unreliable "news website" (see history). Google search for English-language sources found nothing in-depth. Faculties and sub-institutes without in-depth coverage by independent reliable sources should be covered in the main article University of Defence (Czech Republic) (which also lacks sources).

I am also nominating the following related pages because all articles lack any reliable sources, and have been created by the same group of COI-editors. An (admittedly quick) Google search revealed no significant coverage, only passing mentions and listings.

Please explain to me what good would come to the encyclopaedia if we were to delete this article. As an exercise, do not cite any essay, rule or edict. Alakzi (talk) 22:34, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
G5 exists to keep those who sock from being encouraged to sock again -- it's along the same lines of WP:DENY. If the article created by the sock is allowed to stand, the sock gets recognition and a "permission" to do the same again, under another sock account. It's a psychological and behavioral move, actually. When a sock creates articles, adds content, uploads files and sees their username attached, there is a feeling of satisfaction that legitimizes and encourages further socking behavior. For many in Wikipedia, there is an emotional feeling of "ownership" when they have started an article, developed it, and added content. When they see their username attached to such edits, it gives them a sense of satisfaction and legitimizes socking. If their edits and/or created articles and uploaded files are removed, there is no recognition, no visual encouragement to continue in the unwanted behavior (socking). The essay on WP:Deny recognition explains this quite nicely.
One more note, Alakzi: The socking and disruption by this individual is not just a one-sock deal. What's been going on with this individual has been happening for (from what I can gather) at least a decade. See this for a more in-depth look at it all. This is an extreme case of long term abuse and should be dealt with accordingly. In fact, I encourage all editors chiding me for bringing this AfD look at the extensive history of this user as outlined in the AN/I link above (that would include Michig, Liz, and even DD2K. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:46, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is certainly not necessary to undo all of their work - both good and bad - because an incredible essay that cites no credible sources says so. If and when you've been published, I might consider your theory of the mind of 'socks'. Until such time, allow me to be sceptical that this practice (a) acts as a deterrent and (b) outweighs the damage that would befall the project by deleting a sourced article on a notable topic. Alakzi (talk) 02:01, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Animosity has absolutely nothing to do with it, and I highly resent your implication that I am doing this simply to piss off the now-banned editor, Liz.

Absolutely no significant reliable coverage for this webseries on Twitch. It doesn't help that its name makes it difficult to look for hits. I thrice tagged this for speedy deletion but various users kept removing the tag, so AfD it is. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:03, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The speedy deletion tag has been removed repeatedly because your claim of the lack of significance is unfounded. The article lists several prolific voice actors as cast of the show. It has hundreds of thousands of viewers and has collected tens of thousands USD in charity donation, each of which alone should be enough to qualify as a reason for WP:Significance. 5.147.15.44 (talk) 14:57, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Being a popular web series or being involved in charity are not strong claims to notability. Please read WP:GNG and WP:POPULARITY for more information. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 15:24, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not required under WP:Significance, which was your initial reason for speedy deletion. I quote: "Significance is a much lower standard than notability." 5.147.15.44 (talk) 15:40, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The removal of the speedy deletion tag by one of the editors on this page was inappropriate. That said, I see no reason for this article to be deleted. It is no less significant or notable than articles on other major Twitch streamers like Trump_(Hearthstone_streamer), who has a much more difficult name to search for. Deleting the article because of the common name despite being well-sourced is an error, in my opinion.--Marstead (talk) 18:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True, it probably was inappropriate, especially doing so without any explanation. But as someone not familiar with the daily workings of Wikipedia, I have to ask: is it a common practise to flag new articles for speedy deletion, minutes after they have been created, before anyone even had a chance to work them over? 176.198.254.196 (talk) 19:43, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The commonality of the name makes it difficult to research, but I can find no sources which cover the show in-depth which are from reliable independent sources. WP:Significance is a standard used in speedy deletions; AfD requires the higher standard of notability, which this article, which is currently sourced only by non-reliable, and non-independent sources, does not come close to meeting.

  • Keep - While I disagree with one editor's repeated removal of the speedy deletion tag from this article, it has received edits from other users and appears to be a significant and well-sourced article. Any vote to delete this article should explain why Trump_(Hearthstone_streamer) and Kripparrian should not also be deleted by the same argument. Trump & Kripparrian are comparably popular Twitch streamers but their wiki articles are more poorly-sourced. This article should not be deleted because of its "common name". Please see other sources posted here by other editors for reference.--Marstead (talk) 18:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I could see an argument to rename the article Critical Role (web series) if this helps with the name commonality concern.--Marstead (talk) 18:17, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems all but one of the above are just brief mentioned and are more about D&D and the streamers rather than the show itself. If the streamer had his own Wikipedia article I would not be opposed to a merge. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:38, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge not appropriate ..Previous suggestion of "merging" with the streamer article does not apply, Geek & Sundry, who produces the show is a legit company with its own Wikipedia article, and over 50% of the cast members also have their own Wikipedia articles, wich are clearly detailed in the article in question and have been since 24 October 2015. --KennefRiggles (talk) 00:33, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not gained by being tied to notable others. the topic itself must be the subject of coverage -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:25, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I find it funny how people that vote for deletion keep ignoring the D&D podcast (http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/critical-role-livestreaming-dd) which has been referenced in the article since day 1. 95.222.157.46 (talk) 15:52, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I worry that this defensive attitude may be poisoning the well for the editors voting to delete this page, even though this user's point is valid. I think the decision to Keep or Delete this page should not be made in reaction to this attitude or the repeated erroneous removal of the speedy deletion tag--please see my comment and compromise suggestion below. I think given the quality source (Official Wizards of the Coast reference) a disambiguated article title should be a fair compromise for all involved. Marstead (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; Suggestions Regarding Geek & Sundry Merge; Disambiguation Compromise Good comments, everyone, and thank you for calling out the Geek & Sundry article! Reviewing that article (Geek & Sundry), I think arguing to merge Critical Role there is comparable to merging Breaking Bad into the article on AMC_(TV_channel). I'm not sure that's the right solution, particularly since the other programming for Geek & Sundry doesn't have comparable details listed. It would stand out in that article. There is already precedent in the Programming section of the Geek & Sundry article to include links to details on the individual shows, where such details are available (for example, see TableTop_(web_series) and The_Guild_(web_series). In fact, that precedent (appending (web_series) to the article name) is a good argument for renaming Critical Role to Critical Role_(web_series) and keeping it listed on the Geek & Sundry page. I think this is a fair compromise to those who originally requested speedy deletion, which was in part based on the "commonality" of the show's name. As has been discussed above, the article has been improved; it is decently-written and reasonably-sourced (in particular, see the Wizards of the Coast official podcast link) and I don't really think there's a strong argument to outright delete it here if renaming it will make everyone happy. Again, I feel like the articles on comparably notable partnered Twitch streamers like Kripparrian should be our baseline for comparison. Given the amount of improvement on the article since the initial nomination for speedy deletion, I think it deserves to remain, maybe under a new disambiguated name. Remember, Wikipedia is not paper - speedy deletion is meant to be used when an article is obviously bad, completely unnotable, or clearly vandalism. While this article still has room for improvement, I do not believe it is any of these three things. Marstead (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don’t see why he is not a notable personality as you say he isn’t. He has been mention in BBC, Financial Times, Times of London & Hindustan Times to name a few international sources, not to mention almost all of Pakistan’s local News Papers and TV Channels have written about him / his company Prime Transport Limited which he owns 100%.

    I am not promoting him but stating the facts, three consecutive Prime Ministers of Pakistan have either favored or opposed him.

    There have been debates on his project and him in National Assembly (Lower House of Representatives) and Senate (Upper Hose), what else will make a man notable then his own countries Parliamentarians discussing about him.

    I have stated just a brief of a long list of articles and discussions that have gone on and on about him and his project.

This is a content fork for a term used as a title for a "path of progression." This article is simply an amalgamation of material covered much more extensively in the individual articles on the Rites mentioned. MSJapan (talk) 03:15, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reply - @DangerDogWest:: I would add, then, that this progression outline is specialized; it is only possible in Masonic groups that are under English jurisdiction. It does not hold for other systems in other countries, because the degrees in this outline do not exist in those jurisdictions or the conferral method is different. For example, US Scottish Rite Rose Croix is not invitational, and the conferral method is different in the two jurisdictions, and the York Rite portion is separate (as it is in England). More tellingly, the only GHit for this term in this context is this article. MSJapan (talk) 22:46, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep - It's correct that much of the article is an amalgamation of material covered much more extensively in the individual articles on the orders and degrees mentioned. However, since the Consolidated Rite seems to be mainly a specific path through the various Masonic orders and degrees available in England and doesn't have its own ritual, it's hard to add any material on its constituent orders and degrees that isn't already covered elsewhere. The way I see it, the Consolidated Rite is a particular way of grouping certain Masonic orders and degrees that also exist elsewhere (a bit like the York Rite in the US). Just another Masonic degree system (see List of Masonic Rites) of which there are many. ImprovementUK (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply - However, it does not appear to be an "official" rite so much as a reference to a certain way of going through. Similarly, much work has been invested in creating a "chronological" list of degrees, but that doesn't affect the conferral in any manner. Moreover, I wasn't able to find any references to this, so that is a big issue with respect to GNG as a standalone article, as well as the specificity of it. MSJapan (talk) 01:07, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Article is short on references, and google gives me 82 hits on the rite, mainly from its own site. That's not good, I expect 4 figures from real organisations. If anybody can find a link to UGLE that isn't self-referenced by Consolidated Rite, we're good. Otherwise, no notability, and possibly a bogus organisation.

Unsourced for almost eight years, and unencyclopedic.

Founding stories like this article's " Warren stayed with a family of tailors who made him a fine woolen suit. On returning to the UK, Warren and David met... " are typical also.

The article is an advert, without third-party reliable sources. Though it was claimed in 2008 that Anatole Krasnyansky "is a widely-known and collected artist," there does not seem much to substantiate this. A search on Google gives 217 hits when you go to the last page. Most of these hits are from people trying to sell his artwork. The rest are for a different possibly more-notable artist of the same name who lived 1924-2004. Toddy1 (talk) 13:52, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is very difficult to be sure of anything with non-notable artists.
  • Anatole Krasnyansky is claimed by "Invaluable" (an auction house) to have been born in 1930 and still be alive.
  • Anatole Krasnyansky is claimed by Palm Beach Fine Art to have lived 1924-2004.
The style of art is identical, so it is possible that they are the same person; or that the art galleries have muddled two different artists. I have no idea. But if either of them were notable, there ought to be reliable sources other than companies trying to sell his products. So where is the coverage in reliable sources? Wikipedia:Notability says: "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article." The subject of the article appears to fail this test. However, if you know different, please provide sources and put them in the article.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:22, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Krasnyansky is listed in the book, Ukrainian Art: Shevchenko National Prize[10]. He was featured with Chagall[11]. In an art fraud case, his name gets mentioned along with Dali, Rembrandt, Erte, and Max.[12] Also, his serigraphs are valued super high ($2,350)[13] for a "nobody"! Also, another one for $10,000[14], a write up in the Malibu Chronicle [15] AND the is no one named Anatole Kranyansky with the birth date of 1924-2008. That info is a false lead to this AfD. --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 09:30, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Adding it's high for a serigraph, ie a mass limited edition silkscreen print. And Lute88 appears to only have some issue with him because Krasnyansky is being classified as Ukrainian. --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 18:01, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPA. Secondly - the Barneby is an ESTIMATE, not a record of sale for that price. And there is no indication the item has ever had a bidder.--Lute88 (talk) 13:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the proper characterization of Lute88's "issue" is "There is not a single RS pertaining to the subject.". Trying to discount another editor's opinion on nationalist grounds is more than a bit distasteful and you should consider striking that accusation. There is no need for comments like that here.

(edit conflict)The source you site to say he is " mentioned along with Dali, Rembrandt, Erte, and Max." says simply "two by Ukrainian-American artist Anatole Krasnyansky" which means nothing. Where and how is he mentioned in Ukrainian Art: Shevchenko National Prize the only thing that link says is the two words of his name exist somewhere in that book, no context and not even necessarily occurring together. I do not know where you get "featured with Chagall" from, the book you link is a gallery index. These arguments are even weaker than WP:NOTINHERITED maybe WP:NOTMENTIONEDINTHESAMESENTENCE. Also $2,230 is not "super high" it is 'peanuts' if you are trying to claim he is anywhere near Dali, Rembrandt, Erte, Max and Chagall. I am rather impressed in how you framed a 'passing mention' in one article and two Google Books returns, without any text, to make this guy seem to be a 'great artist' but he is not. If he were there would be something on him somewhere. Imaginative framing does not demonstrate notability.

Keep as stub - Highbeam.com lists six articles about Krasnyansky. The article is poorly written but we can fix it using paywalled references. The Wikipedia Library is going to open up a few more paywalls for me within the next couple of weeks. It is premature to delete this article without doing WP:ATD and WP:BEFORE first. These are POLICIES that are NOT optional. JSTOR.com has nothing. Roll up your sleeves, apply for some paywall databases and start recovering articles instead of deleting them. Put this one on the back burner until then, or withdraw the deletion nomination as should be. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 21:24, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of the articles listed on highbeam.com three are about a case of fraud and theft involving his paintings. One is advertising an auction. Another is about someone buying at a sale of art. I am not sure what the one from the Rocky Mountain News is about. None of them are about Anatole Krasnyansky.-- Toddy1 (talk) 21:36, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @Checkingfax: You did notice that of those six Highbeam hits three only said two of his paintings were part of a fraud case and nothing more, one says a piece was "valued at $2,350" and nothing more, one is a one line comment from someone who bought a painting at an auction and one says "Two of his favorite pieces of art are colorful, surrealistic paintings by Anatole Krasnyansky, a Russian artist who lives in the United States." [16] and nothing more. Right? Nothing more than four passing mentions in six articles. I would suggest you do a BEFORE that consists of more than counting 'hits' before you scold others about their research. Just say'n. Cheers. JbhTalk 21:46, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The flow is: notice article >>> try to fix it >>> if unfixable then nominate for deletion. Starting with AfD and then trying to fix it is against POLICY. We are supposed to reference POLICY only in our discussions here.
Now that the article is improperly in the AfD queue it puts an unreasonable deadline on trying to fix the article. I need about three weeks to try to bring this article up to better standards. In the meantime, I suggest all editors get over to TWL and apply for some paywall database access codes, and that the nominating editor withdraw this nomination. The fact that artists could counterfeit his work and make money suggests he is a notable artist in the league of the other few artists that were also copied. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 22:05, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On what do you base your claim that artists counterfeited his work? In the fraud case, someone claimed that the paintings were stolen and then tried to sell them.-- Toddy1 (talk) 22:41, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that WP:FOOTYN is meant to provide editors with a handy guide to quickly assess whether or not a given football-related subject is likely to be notable— it doesn't supersede WP:GNG which still asks for references when someone calls for them, even for subjects that appear to meet WP:FOOTYN (or any other topic-specific guideline). The Albanian Wikipedia entry has the same quality and number of references as the English one, which to me merely proves the club exists, whatever its divisional ranking.

RSSSF records the following instances of the club participating in either the third tier of Albanian football (not the seocnd as the article claims) or in the national cup competition although, as is common with many clubs, there is a bit of difficulty searching easily because often the diacritics are not included in English language sources, being referred to as "Cakrani". They have competed in at least four seasons of third tier football and participated in the national cup in each of those seasons, reaching the second round in 2006. Per the general consensus achieved through AfD, this seems sufficient for me. Fenix down (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Having played in a national cup means the club passes WP:FOOTYN. Research and translation to improve the article are required. I'd also like to point out to KDS4444 that WP:NFOOTY is also "a handy guide to quickly assess whether or not a given football-related subject is likely to be notable" and also does not supersede WP:GNG; plenty of articles on footballers who barely meet NFOOTY have been deleted because they did not build upon that to reach GNG. — Jkudlick tcs 12:19, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. There are plenty of sources on the vast amount of residential colleges at long-standing universities (I can't think of one I couldn't off the top of my head), and it's not like they've gone for articles on individual halls, which could get more borderline.

  • Keep - I think we have precedent that, as a general rule, residential colleges of Australian universities are by that fact notable. The existence of the category Category:Residential colleges of Australian universities and the number of articles in that category (I count 61) is a demonstration of this precedent. Given that precedent, I would submit this article is notable. I should note that, in the Australian context, university residential colleges may be in a somewhat different category than say dormitory halls in the US. In many (but not all cases), they are legally distinct corporate bodies from the university, generally under control of trustees at least partially independent of the university administration (in some cases, the boards of trustees include representatives of both the affiliated university and of a sponsoring religious body), often (but not always) affiliated with a religious denomination, often in some sort of affiliation relationship with the university rather than being formally part of it. In NSW, a number of the older university colleges of the University of Sydney were established under Acts of Parliament (see e.g. St Paul's College, University of Sydney, established by the SAINT PAUL'S COLLEGE ACT 1854, likewise St John's College, University of Sydney established by SAINT JOHN'S COLLEGE ACT 1857, St Andrew's College, University of Sydney established under SAINT ANDREW'S COLLEGE ACT 1998, Sancta Sophia College, University of Sydney (SANCTA SOPHIA COLLEGE INCORPORATION ACT 1929). In NSW, see also the Universities and Colleges Lands Acts of 1924, 1957, 1966 and 1967. In Western Australia, university colleges are established under the UNIVERSITY COLLEGES ACT 1926. So, given the distinctive situation that university residential colleges operate under in Australia, I would suggest that many or most or all of them are notable, even if superficially similar institutions in other countries are judged not to be. SJK (talk) 12:47, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    And I did not mention the Wesley College Incorporation Act 1910 (NSW), Women's College Act 1902 (NSW), and in Victoria: the Trinity College Acts 1927,1957,1979, the University Colleges Lands Act 1960, and the Janet Clarke Hall Act 1961, and the Queen's College Land Act 1962. My point is, if a body has an Act of Parliament passed named after it, then it arguably is by that fact (among others) notable enough for Wikipedia. And if that is true for a number of members of a class of bodies, that fact in turn suggests that other members of that class (for whom that fact does not themselves hold) are also notable. SJK (talk) 12:58, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that some halls of residence are notable does not mean that all are. As for the acts of parliament, I imagine that these were simply enabling acts rather than significant legislation.TheLongTone (talk) 14:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment These type of articles should be merged into an article titled (along the lines of) Youngest Mount Everest climbers record. There does already exist an article on List of Mount Everest records. Having independent articles for these youngest climbers doesn't match the notability guidelines (if that's all that they have ever been known for).--MarshalN20 Talk 21:41, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Weak - mainly because there isn't much to say beyond the four sentences here, so it's not much of an article. However, the list of records just gives a name, and doesn't allow for even those four sentences. A combined article about the young climbers would be a good idea, and when someone decides to create that, they can then redirect from this. That said, I am dismayed at the accusations of bias on the part of some commenters here. Please assume good faith. This article is minimal so it does make sense to bring it to AfD.

Demand Readiness Level

Demand Readiness Level (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

This article was created by a single-purpose editor, who has stated that he or she created it "on behalf of the author of the concept". There is no evidence that its subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Both of the two references in the article are works by Florin Paun, the creator of the concept of "Demand Readiness Level", and so of no use in establishing notability. I looked for sources myself. Of the first twenty Google hits for "Demand Readiness Level", one was this Wikipedia article, 15 were works by Florin Paun, and the other four merely mentioned "Demand Readiness Level" briefly in passing, without giving any substantial coverage of the subject.

Normally, for an article for which neither the cited references nor an online search produces any evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines, that would be an end of the matter. In this case, however, there is also a list of 44 "sources" which are not cited in the article. At first glance it seemed that it would be very difficult to see whether these gave significant evidence of notability, as only a minority of them are available online. However, looking more closely, it is clear that half of them cannot be of any value in establishing notability of "Demand Readiness Level", as they date from before 2007, the year in which the article states that the concept was "created". (The earliest is dated 1914.) Of those which do date from later than 2007, about half are authored or co-authored by Florin Paun. One is a blog post. I have searched for information about many of the others, and for some of them I have managed to find abstracts, reviews, publishers' blurbs, or other indications of their contents; in none of those cases did I find any mention of "Demand Readiness Level". Of course, that does not guarantee that the works in question don't contain some mention of the subject, but it does suggest at least that the subject is not a major topic in those works. There is also the fact that some of the works do not seem to have much prominence: for one of them I was unable to find any mention of it anywhere except for this Wikipedia article. I am not sure what the author of the article means by "sources", but in view of the large proportion of them which date from before 2007, and the lack of prominence of "Demand Readiness Level" in anything which I have been able to find about the others, it seems likely that in this context "sources" may mean something like "any publications which have any connection at all to the subject of the article, even if they don't mention it as such."

This is an article on a minor racist, leader of an insignificant far-right party in the UK, who achieved brief but transient notoriety after he was arrested once. The sources almost all discuss the party not Weston, and there is zero chance of his ever being elected tot he office he apparently craves. If he has a claim to fame it's that Breivik mentioned his blog posts - but Breivik mentioned all kinds of whacknut nonsense so I don't really think that qualifies as a claim of notability.

If you live in the UK and have never heard of him, I suggest you are reading the wrong publications, given that at least seven different media outlets are quoted in the article, including BBC News, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Independent! Emeraude (talk) 08:32, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Significant? Not hardly. This is a barely known bigot whose name is a very long way from being a household word in England, and whose party itself is virtually unknown, being covered mainly in colour pieces on the lunatic fringe, alongside the Official Monster Raving Loony Party. Those sources are not about him, they are about his fringe party. Guy (Help!) 22:34, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Significant within the far right most certainly. Read the article given as sources (and find more). Being a bigot does not preclude being included in Wikipedia.

  • Delete Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. I found some sources that mention her, but they do not appear to provide significant coverage. WP:ENT is an extension of WP:BASIC, in that WP:ENT can be used to determine possible notability, but WP:ENT alone does not determine it. After WP:BASIC is evaluated and determined to be met, can WP:ENT be used to further determine notability (remember that notability requires verifiable evidence per WP:V). This does not appear to be the case, as this person fails both WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 23:55, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Samuel J. Howard, the sources you provided above and in your voting statement don't appear to fully assert that this person meets WP:ENT. The sources you provided here and here are reviews that mention the person. The book you provided mentions the person only four times, and doesn't seem to assert her significance in a major television show or movie. The only source that you provided that I felt had some weight was this, but playing a role for one out of sixteen seasons doesn't strike me as playing a "significant role" in WP:ENT.

It also seems that at this (occurs for several months in early 2007) and I'm not sure if this was her as well (if so, it's the first one in January 2007) and finally this seems to suggest the subject herself was removing what was apparently not accurate information.

She is spoken of in so many articles about the music video industry, and her involvement in some controversy over a Robin Thicke video (which I found on this search), amped up her public exposure. This search, while not giving many in-depth articles, gives dozens of mentions, and several in-depth interviews, which have excellent leads going to her notability, such as this, this, and this. And those are only the examples from the first page. I didn't go beyond the 500th article, but she's mentioned, many time prominently in all of them. On Books she gets mentions in over 150 books.

Previously prodded, but rejected because "someone spent a lot of work on this". Doesn't address the question of notability. None of the source texts seem to be a notable work in its own right, and "ambisonic source texts" is hardly a topic that has received much attention as a group. While we have some bibliographies for very notable, large subjects, we normally don't have separate bibliographies for the majority of subjects.

  • Delete. I'm personally not a strong advocate for the bibliographies of even large topics, but there's especially little to justify such a list for a specific implementation of surround sound; functionally, relevant material in these sources should be used to improve the parent article and cited therein (if not already). Sources that don't contribute to referencing can be ignored, or, if they are for some other reason particularly notable, included as further reading. But not as a stand-alone list.

I am not an owner and I am not an employee of Gypsy Diva Records. I am a fan of Larissa Dubois. Singer Larissa Dubois calls all of her fans Gypsy Diva, Gypsy Divas & Gypsy Soldiers, that is the reason I picked that username, I am a fan. I am not a record label. Why you would target to delete this page because I chose a username as a fan name is not a valid reason for deletion.

Nom has specifically stated your username's reference "doesn't factor into deletion", only as a FYI kind of thing. Instead of getting all defensive over the wrong thing, why not actually provide/look for substantial reliable independent sources to satisfy inclusion conditions set out in either WP:NMUSIC or the more general WP:GNG? And for your information, even if "moderators" have substantially edited the article it can still be deleted based on solid non-notable grounds, not to mention so far only you, Sophia49 (talk · contribs) and a 98.* IP made any substantial content changes that is more than cursory maintenance. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 09:18, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded on the Reliable Independent Sources provided and have met the WP:MUSICIAN and WP:GNG guidelines as established by Wikipedia. Some reference examples are as follows: (First source): SingersRoom April 6, 2015 "Discovered: Larissa Dubois This Is Love." Article written by the founder,creator, and editor of the Soul Train award winning R&B/Soul music news outlet. (Second souce): A UK (United Kingdom) online music media outlet SoulTracks founder,creator, and editor wrote an Soul Music article/review of Larissa Dubois's EP "This Is Love." The article is quoted as saying "She has the skills that remind us of some of the great female singers of the past two decades.”
A simple search on Google would have proven she has received verifiable and reliable indepedent articles in the media online as a musician after SingersRoom announced her as "Discovered" in the music industry.
All Independent Reliable Sources were referenced/cited on the Larissa Dubois Wikipedia page when created.Gypsydiva (talk) 17:18, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some are obviously blogs (kelandmelreviews), some take blog-like content from contributors (face2face), others seem to be music promotion sites with unclear editorial oversight.

The result was Delete. The arguments for keeping are such things as: two published books (whether they are self-published or not, the mere fact of having published a couple of books does not confer notability); mention in a local newspaper; there are other articles on subjects less notable (see WP:OTHERSTUFF); he has exhibited with other notable artists (see WP:NOTINHERITED; "The sources cited seem notable enough to keep" with no explanation why (see WP:ASSERTN); "I ... feel passionately about the issue" (see WP:ILIKEIT). Not one of them actually provides reasons for keeping in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I have rarely seen a deletion discussion covering so many of the sections of Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. The arguments for deletion, on the other hand, are based on Wikipedia's notability guidelines. (The proportion of "keep" comments that are from new accounts is actually irrelevant, since this is not a vote, and none of the new accounts produced policy-compliant reasons anyway.)

WP:BLP of an artist, which makes no particularly strong claim of notability under WP:CREATIVE and which rests far too strongly on primary and unreliable sources without much evidence of coverage in properly reliable sources that would count toward getting a person over WP:GNG. As always, a Wikipedia article is not something that a person is automatically entitled to have just because it's possible to verify that they exist — it's something a person earns by being substantively the subject of media coverage in sources independent of their own PR materials. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 15:25, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep because two published books seems notable to me. Many of the sources are local rather than national or international, but it appears the person is of importance in local circles. I agree that some of the achievements are not particularly notable but I see no issue with the sources. They cannot be said to be PR materials and are diverse in origin SallyDee777 (talk) 19:23, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Atencion San Miguel is the main newspaper for the community of the town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where the subject lives. The newspaper is published weekly in English and Spanish in print. The online version on the newspaper is a reflection of what is published in print. AndyWallHole (talk) 20:17, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weekly newspapers published in small towns don't count toward whether the topic meets WP:GNG or not. They're acceptable for some supplementary confirmation of facts after the article has already passed GNG on better classes of sourcing than that, but a community weekly cannot make a person notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia if it is the best source you've got. Bearcat (talk) 12:34, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on the strength of the two published books alone. The books are well known within Amazonian Shamanism circles, even though it is a subject that does not receive mainstream media coverage due to its controversial nature. Starzagger (talk) 20:24, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable source coverage is the absolute be-all and end-all of whether a person gets a Wikipedia article or not. If that reliable source coverage isn't there, the person does not get to claim an "unreferenced or poorly referenced inclusion" freebie on the basis of being known in some under-the-radar community outside the reach of reliable source coverage.

  • Delete What we lack here are reliable third-party sources. The Atencion San Miguel is a local news source run by volunteers (and based out of the public library -- I like that aspect). But it can't be considered truly neutral because we don't have a clear editorial policy. Then there are links to speaker bios (not RS), his own works (book and CD), gallery exhibits (not RS because they are selling his work). Elamagazine is a site where you list your own art. This means that there isn't one third-party RS. Note that if deleted there will be some link clean-up. LaMona (talk) 05:13, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Atención San Miguel counts for something. Although WP:RS and WP:BIO make pertinent general observations such as "the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication," neither explicitly disqualifies newspaper sources based on "localness", frequency of publication, circulation, paid staff, or whether they have a published editorial policy. For me the problem is that Atención San Miguel is the only arms length reliable source. Searches of the usual Google types, HighBeam, newspapers.com, newspaperarchive.com, and EBSCO turned up only this mention in the Kansas City Star, where a collector describes Osta as an "up-and-coming artist". People and things that are up-and-coming have, almost by definition, rarely received the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources necessary to be included in Wikipedia. Worldbruce (talk) 07:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • "up and coming" is a term that could mean any number of things. To me that article suggests that the artist's work is present in important collections and qualified for being notable.
  • Keep These sources are notable. I've seen video games on Wikipedia with less notability. But then I guess that is Wikipedia's target audience! I'm wondering just how dated Wikipedia's going to look after all the newspapers have dried up? C'est la vie! --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 16:07, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The artist's work is part of important collections internationally, as proven the Kansas City Star article, by Atencion articles, and by the more recent National Geographic photo of his work. His artwork was published in the book "Ayahuasca Medicine" by Simon and Schuster and he has exhibited with very notable artists such as Toller Cranston and Pablo Amaringo. He should be considered notable for his links to these artists alone, but considering also his two books, I would say this is definitely a keep.

I think you will probably also agree that the size of the area being represented is not a sound reason either. What this article needs are sources showing evidence of its real world notability— that such sources may not exist is perhaps the result of systemic bias, but Wikipedia policies with regard to the need to have them are very clear and do not allow for very many exceptions. I do not see anything about the topic of this article (yet) that would qualify it as an exception to these policies. Unless it obtains them, then to my understanding it should not exist as a stand alone article, yes? KDS4444Talk 01:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you have searched the online Tagalog language press, and have access to the offline version, I doubt you will be able to find a lot of sources. Just because you can't find English ones, doesn't mean it isn't covered. I think the size of the city is very relevant, especially given that we have similar articles for far smaller jurisdictions in English speaking countries. Hence why I referred to this being a classic case of systematic bias. Number 57 10:27, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It would be great if you could find some sources. I am always happy to withdraw a nomination if someone can improve an article. There are a lot of people with the same name so maybe a Finnish speaker can sort through the material better than I can. JbhTalk 21:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This does not appear to satisfy WP:GNG. His primary claim to notability is his activism, but the sources available are not third party, other than a little bit in New York Magazine. The award does not seem significant. It's an award from a notable foundation, but winning the award seems to have attracted little notice and certainly does not carry any weight, notability-wise. freshacconci talk to me 19:02, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I researched this person for two minutes and found independent secondary sources that cover this person and his role in the report listed within the article ([34], [35]). His work is also cited in books such as this one, this one, and this one to name just a few. A notable researcher involved in autism and reports that are used by many organizations and government studies.

  • I also did some research for two minutes and came up with what you did. leftbrainrightbrain is essentially a blog run by one person and would need to be evaluated as a reliable source. The book mentions seem trivial at best. I see no evidence of "reports that are used by many organizations and government studies." Just the few cites that you mention. The only unambiguous, verifiable source is New York Magazine, which I mentioned in the nomination. His online activism appears to be no more than a self-aggrandizing one-man-band (see his comment above, obviously a conflict-of-interest, but that's another issue). I cannot find any evidence of actual notability, otherwise I would not have brought it to AFD. freshacconci talk to me 03:25, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Freshacconci - I'm actually starting to lean towards your viewpoint now that I've taken more time to look at this. I re-read my opening statement in my !vote just now - I want to apologize if it somehow came off in the wrong way. "I researched this person for two minutes" was not stated to imply that you didn't take the proper time to consider this article for deletion before nominating it :-). I think that your statements are valid regarding the actual reliability of the sources I responded with - I'm going to look into this further and redact my vote if necessary. I'll follow up once I have done so - stay tuned :-D. "A notable researcher involved in autism and reports that are used by many organizations and government studies" - I said this to simply summarize what I found within the sources that I read - so far, I'll admit that this statement has no true merit at this time.

I initially tagged this article under A7, because the only two claims to fame/significance were insignificant (but note that I'm strict with corporation articles). It was removed by another non-admin editor, but nonetheless, doing a source search, I most see press releases, earnings reports, and venture capital news that was written because a) the newspaper's only job was to repost press releases or such reports. The only sources I could find are indiscriminate coverage from the Boston Business Journal, some mentions in RS, and some blog posts (not RS), likely because of widespread WP:SPIP. With the current sourcing, only a permastub can be created from RS (also see WP:NOPAGE and WP:CORPDEPTH). Esquivalience t 04:39, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - I stand by my decision of removing the speedy. Although the company has received some coverage, I do think the subject needs some additional significant coverage from reliable sources. Move to draft or userspace as viable. Regards—UY Scuti Talk 07:19, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now - The company article needs more credible sources to back it up and needs more credible information that is not written like News or an Advertisement. I would wait until the company grows further with more information, then proceed with an article creation if it has enough credible sources/information.

The article should be deleted because the neutrality of the article has been disputed and it has now become impossible to restore it moreover the article cite so many issues. Since past 1 year I have beem trying my best to make it issue free and neutral article but all the efforts went vain. Other users have also tried to improve the article to make it more reliable and encyclopedic but all their efforts also went vain for proof you can see the edit history. So its better that someone with better wikipedia knowledge and experience creates a new one from scratch for betterment of the users who are interested in the field of beauty pageants. At last its my humble request to delete this article as soon as possible for the betterment of the people who cannot get complete info.about the topic regarding this field from this article as the main/crucial info. Is missing from the page some other users have also tried to complete it but no effect was seen. Since past 1 year the article is at the sane stage where it was 1 year ago. So I would want to have it deleted for the sake of people who would not get any proper info. From it and let a more knowledgable and experienced user recreate it. Regards. Sky Groove (talk) 14:51, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • So I would request the admin to delete the article as soon as possible so that a better editor could create it again in order to provide a reliable and better view of this part of beauty pageants. Regards Sky Groove (talk) 12:59, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Indeed this event is highly notable and one of primary beauty contest of India. Article itself have several independent sources. Winner of this competition goes for Miss Universe. There is huge coverage of this event in all major media of India. You can simply see this news result. If there is any problem with neutrality of this article then that can be corrected but we can't delete this obvious deserving article. Even one of nominator Sky Groove is only talking about "neutrality" of the article and insisting for delete only to recreate it in more neutral way, I think this is not reason to delete this article, it can be improved. --Human3015TALK  16:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • As it has been mentioned twice that several efforts have been made by different users to restore its neutrality and improve it but no affect has seen so far and since one year the article is citing issues and no one could improve it. Sky Groove (talk) 18:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article (as of this comment) has four maintenance tags on it, notability, relies to extensively on sources close to the subject, sources may not be reliable and neutrality. No one has started any discussion on the talk page to explain what exactly the problems are. The notability tag does not appear to be valid, it is a notable pageant. The are two sourcing tags and I have a hard time seeing the justification for either one. There are 11 sources in the article. Sources 1, 3, 5, 8, 9 & 11 are from the India Times. India Times appears to be a reliable source and independent of the pageant. The only one that talks specifically about the pageant is 1 but that is pictures of the pageant winners without a lot of substance. The other sources all mention the pageant, but their focus is on winners of the pageant and not the pageant themselves. The rest of the sources also discuss pageant contestants not the pageant itself. I am not sure about the reliability of some of the sources, specifically 2, 4, 6 & 10, but none of the sources appear to be connected to the pageant. The final tag, neutrality is what the deletion rationale is based on. I do not see a major problem with the neutrality of the article. It states facts without passing judgement. as a final thought neutrality is not a reason to delete the article but a reason to edit the article. I see no valid reason to delete this article. -- GB fan 11:21, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have tried to put reliable sources to the page but all my edits were undone stating that the page doesn't cite reliable sources. As of my knowledge the sources by indiatimes are best and most reliable sources in India as it is world's largest selling daily (The Times of India) Owned by the The Times Group, a firm that has been in existence since 1838. Plus i am also unable to add the representatives to Miss Universe and other international beauty pageants under Miss Diva franchise. The sources that cite about the winners, they have won international beauty contests under Miss Diva title, for instance Srishti Rana, she was 2nd Runner Up at the Miss Diva - 2013 and won Miss Asia Pacific World 2013 in Seoul. If you guys can help me with it then please make it a wiki acceptable article with proper info. and meeting wiki standards. Regards Sky Groove (talk) 12:23, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I was about to relist but since both the nominator and Wikienglish123 are blocked for sockpuppetry it might be best to close this as no consensus with no prejudice against starting a new AfD (ideally after attempts to address the article quality issues since that seems to be the concern rather than notability).
