  • Keep The cast alone means that it meets WP:NF. The nom should take a look at WP:BEFORE. MarnetteD|Talk 23:27, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It seems to have the alternate title Calhoun. It got reviewed by Variety, as in this snippet view. It also appears to have some degree of coverage in this book, and this brief production note seems to be about it. It's very difficult to even find a trivial mention about it, though. I guess you could make the argument that the Google Books results lead one to believe there's offline coverage. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:30, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: MarnetteD should take a look at WP:NF before making recommendations about guidelines to others. The only part of that guideline referencing cast states "The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of his/her career." An ephemeral and award- and significant coverage-free TV movie doesn't cut it. Nha Trang Allons! 22:33, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I know WP:NF inside and out. I mentioned the cast as only one reason that the article met the criteria. As shown by NRP there is coverage in at least one other source. BTW since it aired on a commercial network it wasn't "free" MarnetteD|Talk 22:37, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete Keep (see below) - mainly because there's basically nothing here. It's a stub that says "this exists [according to imdb]". I found a couple sources, but only one is really good: this writeup in the LA Times. Other than that there are plenty of the yearly movie guides which give brief synopses of movies released that year (from e.g. Blockbuster), this paragraph in People, and that's about it. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:03, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I did some digging and found some coverage for the film, as well as a review from the NYT. The People paragraph is short, but I used that more to reference one of the two lawsuits that seemed to serve as inspiration for the piece. Rhododendrites, what do you think? Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:11, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Tokyogirl79: Ah. The NYT source is a big addition. Updated to keep based on that, but at least equally as much based on your improvements. To me, a stub that says "this exists [according to imdb]" is the same or worse than having no article. No reliable sources whatsoever, no claim to notability, no information aside from its existence -- just an impoverished mirror of Imdb. With no reliable sources and no substance, there's nothing to WP:PRESERVE, and nothing to be lost. People may say "so improve it", but while that's a reasonable response to 99.5% of "current version" arguments at AfD, if there's not actually anything of substance to work with, it's not just "improving" -- it's "actually creating the article". If I sound frustrated that it's not being deleted, know that that isn't the case. Having a real article about a notable subject is better than having no article or a non-article, so kudos to you for doing so, just as kudos would be in order for creating an article from scratch. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:01, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per meeting WP:NF. Once again Tokyogirl79 shows the value of WP:BEFORE and WP:IMPROVE prior to offering an opinion. Being weak is not a valid reason to delete an improvable topic. Schmidt, Michael Q. 10:19, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets WP:GNG, plenty of independent, reliable coverage. For example, this film has been covered by LA times and the New York Times. Omni Flames (talk) 04:59, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Keep/Comment Section of this AfD

  • Delete: Rishabh Shanbhag looks to be part of a very narrow subculture, which has earned him one interview & mention in one single article in the tech section of online Forbes. (see below section "Research, Information, Observations & Notes"). RQ (talk) 01:54, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Obvious self-promoter is obvious, never mind that all these fatuous claims were made about a subject who was seventeen when the article was created. I'm thinking all those cites are less by way of the editors inserting them being lazy, and more that they were counting (accurately enough) on the average Wikipedian glancing at the article, saying "Ooo, lots of cites!" and never bothering to follow any of them up. (While we're talking about lazy.) Nha Trang Allons! 22:40, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Research, Information, Observations & Notes - by RQ (talk) 01:54, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The most/only "prominent" thing I could find on this Rishabh Shanbhag, was an article written by a "Contributor" (Antony Leather) in Forbes:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2015/05/08/iphone-hacking-behind-the-scenes-with-an-ios-jailbreaker/print/

Everything else I could find about Rishabh Shanbhag is from his own, or his collaborators, hand.

His previous website: http://imast777.me/ is empty.
But used to be a thin content spammy commerce thing,
- Google still got some pages cached, via search [ site:imast777.me ]

His current website: https://rishabhshanbhag.com is just a single profile & contact page.
Though Google also got +20 indexed Lorem Ipsum pages [ site:rishabhshanbhag.com ], which was there for about 2 years. (striken, because while the Lorem Ipsum pages has indeed been hosted on that specific domain, then that specific domain didn't exist in 2014)

He's is only 19 years old (DoB = 19.Nov.1996), but still: I would have expected someone attempting to claim fame for developing software or websites, to have a bit more juice to their website. And he does (on his one page website) claim to be "an award-winning web developer and entrepreneur who has worked on various websites, packages and ...".
No actual award(s) are mentioned or referenced, and looking into the "frequently cited by publications" then it looks like lazy half-arsed journalists & bloggers doing twitter rehashing or straight twitter embedding. (The already first mentioned & referenced Forbes thing, being the only exception).

The Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rishabh_Shanbhag
Has a remarkable edit history: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rishabh_Shanbhag&action=history
It has really only ever been handled by 2 editors:

RQ (talk) 01:54, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Research - by User:Synterest (talk) 08:51 AM, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

1) iOS jailbreaking in no way is a "narrow" subculture. The main app, Cydia, the creator of Cydia saurik, and other developers/hackers in the iPhone community such as geohot still have their pages (even though many have contested for deletion - as you can see in the talk pages especially that of geohot).

2) I have no connection with the user you have stated. I simply fell upon this page on iMast77's aka. Rishabh's Twitter

His previous website: http://imast777.me was an e-commerce store for users to purchase iPhone unlocks, aka. reversing a SIM lock, which is currently down (most likely up for a revamp) - has been down since he bought his new domain. His current site is https://rishabhshanbhag.com, I myself am not sure how those "Lorem ipsum" pages are there as he only added the domain recently to his social media pages and doing a quick WHOIS, I found out that "Creation Date: 23-jun-2016"[1], so it's most likely that Google hasn't de-indexed the previous owner's pages.

I also see that you've added a "not in citation given" for the packages mentioned in the article.

Let us start with the first one - ActiSearch which has been referenced here on iDownloadBlog[2] and DailyiPhoneBlog [3]. Now these 2 references have been already added to the Wikipedia article. But after doing a quick search myself, I found that ActiSearch has been also featured on AppAdvice [4] which is a verified source for tech news (also verified on Twitter[5]. I also found that it has been featured on iPhoneHacks [6], iJailbreak [7], iPhoneCaptain [8], Best Cydia Tweaks [9], iSpazio (this is an italian website) [10], Apple Spot (Dutch website) [11], Info iDevice (French) [12], Apple Team (Greek) [13] etc. just to name a few.

Some articles don't mention the creator, but every package made which has been uploaded to Cydia, can be found using the package identifier (which in this case is com.imast777.actisearch). Using this, we can find out that "iMast777" is the creator or author of this package. You can use this link and look under the author section: http://cydia.online/package/com.imast777.actisearch

You can make use of this link - http://planet-iphones.com/cydia/author/iMast777, to find out all the other packages which he has created.

The second package which I've mentioned on the page is NoNewApp, you can blame me for this one because I didn't mention any references for this. Sorry, my bad. Googling it, you can find out that it has been featured on iDownloadBlog [14], AppAdvice[15], Modmyi[16], iPhone Italia [17], Appleophile France [18] etc. to name a few

The third package needing citation in the article was iDebstore - only one reference was added i.e. But it has also been featured on other websites such as Jaxov[19], RedmondPie[20], MacGenesis [21], VeryRite [22], TheHowMade [23],Tesux [24], iPhoneItalia [25], ValueWalk [26], iCulture (Dutch) [27] etc.

iDebStore was in beta phase when it was released in 2012 but is currently no longer active in 2016, the idebstore webite currently redirects to iMast777's Twitter now.

Those seem to be the only issues regarding packages. Also, he created most of these packages in 2012, back when he was only 16. So I doubt age should be any concern here.

Now for the frequently cited part in the end, the journalists embedded his tweets in those articles & they seemed to be verified sources to me such as CBS News, Complex (magazine) etc hence why I added that to the article since most people in the iOS/Apple/iPhone community take him & his tweets regarding tech very seriously.

Whereas the International Business Times article [28] clearly states this:

However, that seems to be passé as iOS, Windows developer and security researcher iMast777 has figured out a way that allows developers to test jailbreak apps and tweaks on iOS 6.1.1 beta 1. The method, explained below, helps developers jailbreak their devices running on the very first beta of iOS 6.1.1. which had picked up a method from a blog post from http://iMast777.me (back when it was up) which would allow developers to successfully jailbreak iOS - [[[iOS Jailbreaking]].

I'm honestly not sure how you did your research. If you searched for "Rishabh Shanbhag" then you didn't do it the right way, the very first paragraph in the Wikipedia article states that he is better known by his online alias "iMast777" and his creations. I hope you look into all of this & kindly re-consider. Thanks you.

Response - to User:Synterest from RQ (talk) 21:14, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Since no question ever existed about Rishabh Shanbhag's being owner of rishabhshanbhag.com, then a WhoIs lookup seemed a venue of pointlessness, and I therefore initially didn't do it (a WhoIs lookup is still pointless in terms of establishing noteworthiness, since any idiot can register a domain).
That Google has Lorem Ipsum pages indexed for that site, is because Google crawled the site, and found those pages.
That Google got some of them dated to 2014, is because Google read them to be so. Look at this screenshot, taken from Google's cache, which clearly tell the tale of site claiming to be at least from 2014 (much older that the domain it's served under). Or this screenshot, also taken from Google's cache, which clearly tells Google that the page is from "NOVEMBER 19, 2015".

Why did Rishabh Shanbhag allow the indexing of those Lorem Ipsum pages(?)
There are only one of two fundamental reasons for that to happen.
A. He didn't care a flying fuck if the Lorem Ipsum pages got indexed or not.
B. He couldn't handle the technical requirements for it not to happen.
Considering how hard he seem to want to claim fame for web development, then reason A seems unlikely, because: If you intended to care about your reputation as a web developer, then you do care about NOT clearing your old site, and open a new site to the entire world, before it has reached a minimum level of maturity.
If it's reason B, then that goes to show that his knowledge within the field of web mastering is at kn00b level. It's really easy to avoid getting indexed by well behaved search engines, implying e.g. Google, Bing, Yandex, ...

I took a quick tour down your references list, namely
2. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/11/19/actisearch/
3. http://dailyiphoneblog.com/2012/11/20/cydia-tweak-review-actisearch/
4. http://appadvice.com/appnn/2012/11/actisearch-jailbreak-tweak-search-numerous-sources-using-an-activator-action
5. https://twitter.com/AppAdvice
And that's were I stopped, because not a single one of those mentions "iMast777" or "Rishabh Shanbhag".
- and since when did something posted on Twitter get to be treated as reliable & noteworthy sourcing(?!?).
I think you're confusing notability of software, with notability of the programmers who made it.

Incidentally, I found the International Business Times article, which you've cut & paste a quote from, rather amusing for two reasons:
- Calling iMast777 for a "Windows developer and security researcher" doesn't really testify to great journalism (Windows development is not a testimony to iOS skills)
- International Business Times didn't actually do much (or any) real journalist work; they admit so themselves in the article end line "[Source: iMast777 via Redmond Pie]" (and Redmond Pie doesn't even have a Wikipedia article about them.)

You say: "I have no connection with the user you have stated. I simply fell upon this page on iMast77's aka. Rishabh's Twitter"
So, you simply fell on the "Rishabh Shanbhag" Wikipedia page thanks to a tweet by Rishabh Shanbhag (iMast777, and then started to take care of the page on 6.Nov.2014, and have done so ever since, as the only thing you do and have ever have done on Wikipedia, in immediate succession of the banned user Jilkoms. (I still smell the stench of WP:COI, and even stronger when seeing the cleaner being used, but not to where the stench comes from.)

I'm not sure about the notability of this tournament. Among the sources, the Fox Sports one is significant coverage but I'm more iffy about the PC gamer one. I don't know if Kotaku is considered a reliable source for notability purposes. It's also kind of strange that Smite World Championship remains a red link while this year is not.

Short run in Jump, only long enough for two volumes. ANN has no mention of it, Ja.Wiki article has no additional information or sources and the 3 mentions on Comic Natalie are all for the series announcement, start and end dates.

The article has been tagged for notability since it was created in Feb 2012, I think it's had more than enough time to improve and show notability. SephyTheThird (talk) 21:14, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not seeing a deletion argument. Before you answer, please read WP:NOTDUP and WP:LISTPURP. Of course the category can only include articles because that's how categories function, but editors can also restrict lists to only having entries that have or merit articles, and this is typical with lists of people.

  • Keep Per arguments by Postdlf. The category page is not as easy to navigate as the list due to the organization and the list puts the cases into chronological order and also gives quick descriptions of the cases not provided in the category page.

  • Weak Delete tentatively, pending responses to the following, or Rename/Refocus - On one hand I guess there's an argument to be made for a navigational list of articles about American children who were murdered. However, looking through the list, that's not actually what this is. Although the bluelinks look like a bunch of articles about the murder victims, most of the links I've followed are actually redirects (or direct links) to articles about murderers (e.g. Johnny Keller redirects to William Williams (murderer), and Linda Edwards redirects to Zodiac Killer, where she is listed as a suspected victim), incidents (e.g. Martin William Richard redirects to Boston Marathon bombing), and other lists (e.g. Little Miss X redirects to List of unidentified murder victims in the United States). These sorts of redirects make sense given we typically don't have articles about people whose only claim to notability is as a victim, and have articles about killings, cases, etc. but as the article does not purport to be a list of murderers, murder cases, or murders, I find it to be a harder sell. The list could be radically reduced in line with the navigational purpose, only including articles about children themselves, or it could be renamed/refocused in some way. I think it's likely I'll wind up changing my !vote. It's based on the sense that improving along the lines I'm talking about would be unlikely to be possible if simply kept. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:20, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of formerly unidentified decedents (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)

I know that this is a listification attempt going along with this CFD but is this really an appropriate stand-alone list? I don't see the required selection criteria under WP:CSC here. Literally every police department has a morgue full of people who were "formerly unidentified" and then later identified so this list would literally be in the millions. It seems to be a list of notable formerly unidentified decedents but only if the person isn't immediately identified I imagine. As noted in the CFD discussion, technically Richard III of England falls under a 1485 death and 2013 identification here which tells you this list is problematic. Ricky81682 (talk) 19:11, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Author Pedantically every death is unidentified until that body is formally identified. The list is intended for those bodies which take a significant time to be identified. I find the topic interesting (which is not the same as notable) and consider the list to be useful. Richard III of England is a red herring. When he died he was not unidentified and is therefore outside the scope of this list. His body was lost and belongs in a different list (if there is one). Twiceuponatime (talk) 09:24, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • So it's only when the person is identified and determined to not be notable that it matters? If a notable person died, then their identification is irrelevant? It feels very much like it's going to be personal opinion as to what falls as I presume notable identifications as opposed to a notable person being identified rather than some neutral standard. If the body was identified in 2013 but not Richard III but from the 1800s or from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the Revolutionary War, does that merit inclusion or not? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:35, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It needs expansion, of course, but it won't be too difficult. As long as it's reserved for more notable cases and for those that remained long-term unidentified decedents or those that garnered a reasonable amount of publicity while unidentified (i.e. Riley Sawyers).--GouramiWatcherTalk 19:48, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - I don't think expansion is necessarily what this needs. What it needs is a clearer inclusion criteria, and it seems like it would be possible to do so such that (a) the entries are themselves notable, and (b) it's limited to those people for which the identification of their bodies received some amount of coverage. Right now there's an embedded list at Unidentified decedent. This article shows it could be expanded to such an extent that spinning it out would make sense anyway. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:38, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep Potentially a useful list and a notable subject, but I notice there are no sources. Dimadick (talk) 21:41, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. For this to be kept, we need to show that it passes WP:LISTN. Are all such unidentified bodies discussed as a set? I would actually buy likely notability for all unidentified bodies within a city, since regional or even national media are likely to discuss past unidentified bodies in articles discussing a recently identified one. But do any publications actually discuss all unidentified bodies everywhere as a set? I'm leaning delete unless someone can demonstrate such coverage. ~ Rob13Talk 17:12, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear: I still think the subject is not notable. The article makes two claims, each of which is referenced with a third-party source, hence I removed the template about inline citations. Yet the two assertions do NOT establish notability. One merely establishes that the subject gained his PhD. So what? The other merely shows that he published one book chapter. This certainly has not made him a prolific or influential scholar. So my view remains unchanged. Qadri is not notable. George Custer's Sabre (talk) 17:31, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Following request in this post from User:Corriebertus. The article as it stands consists solely of the archaeological history for a poorly defined region which has many other overlapping articles such as Palestine (region), Land of Israel, Southern Syria, and Canaan. All of the content is already in either of those articles or else in History of Palestine or in History of Israel or in Prehistory of the Levant, which are characterized in the relevant section as being the "main articles" for this topic. Also, many of the sources which refer to southern Levant, do so with a lower case s. A merge into Levant would be one option worth considering. Oncenawhile (talk) 17:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC) [ Please be noted that I consider this not to be my (complete) motivation: see my posting below, 7Jul10:10. Corriebertus. ][reply]

  • Keep article is well sourced and the claim that it should be part of the larger Levant article doesn't mean that because the southern part has more archaeological activity should not have its own article. Everything in this article is sourced, notable and verified. Even if we discount the whole being of a Southern Levant, it is notable enough and large enough to have its own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir Joseph (talkcontribs) 17:29, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Even acknowledging the (absurd) "lowercase s" dispute, this is clearly a notable term. It is the standard way of referring to the region consisting of modern-day Israel, Jordan and Palestine in archaeology, history and environmental science, as evidenced by several thousand Google Scholar hits. I agree that the content of the article at the moment is arguably redundant―this entire topic area is full of duplication—but is that really a discussion for AfD? (Not a rhetorical question; I honestly don't know.) Joe Roe (talk) 17:40, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - there's just not much material here, and it seems a minorly used term rather than a separate topic. The whole History section can/should be tossed since it is generic and not about the region. Just put the top para definition into [Prehistory of the Levant], plus steal the categories and see also bits, there's nothing else of value here. Markbassett (talk) 21:38, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As has been mentioned above, the term is commonly used in academia in order to be neutral. There is enough information on the region, especially its archaeology, to warrant a stand-alone article. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:48, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but specify its usage and users in the first sentence for readers unfamiliar with the term per WP:BEGINNING. This can be done with "In archeology, ..."/"... is an archeological region ..." etc. Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 10:06, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (after its content having been merged already) - Just to inform you that my motivation is not (anymore) (only) the motivation as it is written in the top of this section. Today I've elaborated on a better, clearer, more complete motivation for deletion, which you can read now in section Talk:Southern Levant#Delete the article altogether. Actually, I've this morning already merged all content of Southern Levant into Levant#History.
    I notice Drsmoo,Gregory,Debresser,McClenon contending that ‘Southern Levant’ is a commonly used name. But one of my main arguments is that the definition of SouthLev in the article is based on only ONE source, which I’d consider insufficient to justify the existence of the article. If the name is indeed commonly used as you claim, then show and prove that by giving several more sources of its definition in the article.
    If there's a specific reason to designate a sub-region 'Southern Levant' -- and of course there must be a reason to do so -- then I'd expect to read that reason, both in the article Southern Levant and in article Levant.
    @Sir Joseph claims(6Jul) the article to be “large enough” etc. Strange: the article is rather short, and consists only of summaries of three main articles. Summaries can be made as long or short as anyone decides; these summaries should in the first place be located though in article Levant where they are lacking as yet. And if they’re introduced there, as they ought to be, there’s probably no need to have them ‘doubled’ in a separate article as in article Southern Levant today.
    SJoseph also claims that while the southern part has more archaeological activity, that archeol. activity should have its own (= separate) article. No: that would become logically necessary only when Levant#History or Levant#Archaeology (which does not even exist as yet) would get too large.
    Ofcourse we all agree that the offered information is notable (as SJ states), but we don’t discard of that information. It remains in the mentioned main articles, which will be referred to from article Levant. --Corriebertus (talk) 10:10, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The content issues that have been raised don't justify deletion. The only valid argument for deletion presented here seems to be that the term isn't notable, but per my comment above it clearly is. Joe Roe (talk) 13:21, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • My comment is the second bullet in this section. I admit I'm having trouble understanding what policy-based rationale you and the nominator have for deleting this, but I was trying to WP:AGF and interpret your argument that the definition is only based on one source and that the article's existence is "not justified" as a point about notability, and not simply WP:IDL.

The proposed counterarguments are contradictory - one unsubstantiated argument goes that Southern Levant denotes a differentiated geographical area than Palestine (region) or the Land of Israel, whilst another argument suggests that it is a term created in order to allow scholars to avoid using either of those terms. Clearly those two arguments are conflicting. The only notable subject that could be covered under this title which isn't already covered in multiple other articles is a description of the scholarly debate surrouding usage of the term Levant or Southern Levant. The rest is redundant. Oncenawhile (talk) 14:45, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As was pointed out, Southern Levant is by itself a highly notable subject in academia, with multiple scholarly papers published every day focusing on the region. Scholars do use Southern Levant as the neutral term for the area, however the Southern Levant contains the regions of Palestine, Israel, Jordan etc, it is not synonymous with them. Regarding Corriebertus post about HighBeam, Highbeam isn't a source, it's an archive of scholastic material, which would have been very apparent upon clicking the link. The source that was used via HighBeam was Antiquity (journal), which is an archaeology journal produced by Cambridge University, though there are thousands of other sources that could have been used instead. The idea that "the definition of SouthLev in the article is based on only ONE source, which I’d consider insufficient to justify the existence of the article" solely because a single source was provided, is puzzling (to say the least) Drsmoo (talk) 15:14, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I realise anecdotes don't carry much weight in an AfD, but just for the record: I use "Southern Levant" frequently in my own research, including in the title of my PhD thesis. It is not a synonym for Palestine or Israel, because neither of these regions unambigiously include Transjordan or the Negev, or for Syria-Palestine, which includes the Northern Levant. Maybe scholars working on later periods or Biblical archaeology find it useful that it avoids sensitive political issues, but in my field (prehistoric archaeology) the politics are neither here nor there; it's simply a precise, concise geographical term. There is no "scholarly debate" over its use. Joe Roe (talk) 15:38, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for the comment. Seem to be a violation of WP:IDENTIFYUNCIVIL. Now this article simply isn't notable. It states on WP:NRV "The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally."

First of all, this band's work has appeared on several compilations--as a has been mentioned. Also, the interview that editors discussed was conducted by Mike Dugo, who is the leading interviewer of 60s garage rock bands--he is the head of 60s Garage Bands.com and his work is often included in Beyond the Beat Generation, which is a quality publication.

Keep: Not only have several of their songs been included in compilations, but their song, "We're Gonna Love" is included on Back from the Grave series, which is one of the best-known and most high-profile in the genre. The group's EP was released on Sundazed Records, a relatively large-scale operation. In Mike Markesich's book, Teenbeat Mayhem, in the section that ranks the top 1000 garage rock songs of all time, voted on by a panel of noted garage writers and experts (out of the more than 16,000 US-recorded songs mentioned in the book), "We're Gonna Love" ranks #416, placing it in the top 500 American garage rock records.[29] So, the band should be considered notable--they warrant an article at Wikipedia.

Keep as DRAFT for now. It seems to me this article has encyclopedic potential. Note the following finds:

Using a Google Books and a Google Scholar search of "Baby Grandmothers" Sweden I discovered some references that seem likely to provide WP:Notability.
  • There is for example a Scholar (academia.edu) hit Affective Ordering: On the Organization of Retrologies in Music Networks. (p. 66) that states "Baby Grandmothers and the duo Hansson & Karlsson were early and important on the Stockholm scene."
  • There is a Books hit The Encyclopedia of Swedish Progressive Music, 1967-1979 (ISBN 9789189136229) which apparently has an entry for the band (I do not have access to this book so it will need further research).
  • [Discogs] has a blurb which states in part:

"Baby Grandmothers were a short-lived Swedish band, but one of the most prolific and unique psychedelic, modal, experimental power-trios to emerge out of the Scandinavian psychedelic underground-scene in 1967. Although hailing from Stockholm, Sweden they only released a single in Finland, which has since become one of the most sought after pieces of vinyl from the era."

  • There is an editorial blurb in Forbes for an unrelated music website which takes the space to reference them with "Unjustly forgotten bands such as Anonymous from 1977, the 1967 psychedelic Swedish act Baby Grandmothers or ’80s pop-punkers The Scientists [...]".

I am not sure if enough material can be found for a stand-alone article but I think we need to try. This band is obscure but my research for this AfD indicates the band has a historic place in psychedelia, and historically significant subjects should always be somehow found a place in an encyclopedia (if not as a stand-alone then at least as a dedicated section perhaps under psychedelic music). It is possible we may need to use Swedish and Finnish sources for this article (there is a small article on the band at sv.wikipedia) since it was there that they were most significant. Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 00:19, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I see no reason to doubt the notability of this topic--they definitely merit an article. The article seems well-written and researched, to boot. Perhaps we could find some Swedish and Finnish sources, as the previous editor recommended. The article should stand. Garagepunk66 (talk) 05:12, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    I suspect this is a hoax, but I'd like other opinions. I can find no reliable sources in English for this, and searches for "文月氏" in Japanese come up with nothing. The word Fumizuki itself is used to name the 7th month in Japanese and can be used in some names, but there is no indication this is an established clan. The only reference to the clan in Wikipedia was added to Toki clan by an IP: [29]. It referred to a reference but that reference did not mention the clan, so I reverted it.

    WP:NOTNEWS Cases of death at the hands of law enforcement become notable when there is a landmark legal decision (whether innocent or guilty), or a great amount of demonstration. The sources say around 100 local demonstrators. This is not in the same magnitude as the similar deaths of people like Michael Brown, Eric Garner or Mark Duggan which clearly pass the 10-year test '''tAD''' (talk) 09:07, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep The shooting has been getting a lot of media attention and it's the most publicized police shooting in the US so far this year. It has gotten a lot of talk among people online, and it's also caught on FILM, and the protests look pretty strong in number. I don't see this as non-notable at all. If it does become unheard of soon, then it's understandable to find it a candidate for deletion. It is also possible this officer could be charged with a crime, and that could result in a long and widely publicized trial. So why are you immediately wanting to get rid of this page? Cyanidethistles (talk) 10:49, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • There is no deadline, there is nothing to say that this will not be a notable item, and if deleted it would be recreated. You have literally said WP:TOOSOON by adding that nobody has been charged. The current sources say 100 local protestors. That is nothing compared to the nationwide aftermath of the deaths of people like Garner, Brown and Duggan. "talk online" is not a sign of notability. '''tAD''' (talk) 10:55, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Unfortunately a large number of people are killed by law enforcement in the United States, so much so that Wikipedia has an article for every month. It is far too early to know if this will be one which stands out. "the protests look pretty strong in number" is original research when the maximum per the sources is 200, in a city of a quarter of a million, and compared to the aforementioned cases which had nationwide protests. The 200 in total is nothing compared to how there were 2,000 arrested alone in the unrest after the death of Duggan, in a country where urban unrest is at a lower scale. '''tAD''' (talk) 11:15, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    So why did shootings like Shooting of Samuel DuBose and Shooting of Dontre Hamilton stay? The first one got quite some national media attention and probably even less protesting, but it's NOT nearly as notable as the Brown or Garner incidents. The Hamilton shooting is probably very unknown to people outside of Wisconsin, and I've heard very little of it on national news, yet it's still here.

    • Keep or List "...Sarah Palin, but I think she's a unique phenomenon". In today’s climate of Political Correctness, can we possibly assert that one VP candidate is more unique by exceptions as simple as perceived sex or intellectual prowess as the primary divisor? I beg not! Perhaps a LIST would be more the predilection. Nikto wha? 02:59, 6 July 2016 (UTC) [reply]
      • I didn't say anything about her gender or intellectual prowess. Palin's selection and the coverage it generated makes it notable. Ryan's doesn't. "Political correctness" has nothing to do with this. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:39, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • "Uniqueness" has quality. Therefore, we can draw segregates in it's definition. Segregates more than imply distinction, and our current political climates do follow the many lines of those distinctions be it implied, intentional, or otherwise. As to VP vacuity, the attention garnered Dan Quayle's "Potatoe" of the same period gleaned much media, along with other asides. Michigan Republican Sen. Zachariah Chandler of Andrew Johnson surely made news when attributed; "The inauguration went off very well except that the Vice President Elect was too drunk to perform his duties and disgraced himself and the Senate by making a drunken foolish speech. I was never so mortified in my life, had I been able to find a hole I would have dropped through it out of sight." The 800lb gorilla in the room was simply Sarah got media. Sarah's attempts at media were sometimes awkward, and perceived as misinformed - i.e. "The Bridge to Nowhere" Gravina Island Bridge. There is no need to state the gorilla weighs 800lb's. However, Sarah is certainly not alone where politics become noteworthy, or PC. Nikto wha? 04:11, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • For each article:
      • Windbreaker (Transformers): neutral, leaning toward recommending a merge somewhere. It's difficult to judge whether the included coverage is significant. I don't see anything worthwhile on Google Books, but the Transformers Collectors Club seems likely to be a reliable source. This sample issue offered for free on their website lists an editor-in-chief and full staff. Our article on Fun Publications says that the publisher is independent of Hasbro. From reading the Windbreaker article, it seems likely that these sources are just price guides and in-universe plot recaps, but who knows. This should probably be merged somewhere, but I don't know where.
      • Star Seekers: delete. I don't see significant coverage. Google results are just the usual novels and fan sites. Unlike the prior character, this one doesn't have a bunch of offline, inaccessible sources to put doubt into my mind.
      • Moonracer: Redirect (or possibly merge) to List of female Transformers. I found this interview at Comic Book Resources, but that's all.
      • Salvage (Transformers): redirect to List of Autobots. The generic name makes it difficult to research, but I don't see anything but novels and fan sites.
      • Skyhammer (Transformers): delete. Both Autobots and Decepticons were named this, so it doesn't make sense to redirect it to either of their respective lists. There's no coverage that I can see beyond the usual price guides, novels, and fan sites.
      • Stormtroopers (Transformers): redirect to List of Decepticons#Stormtroopers. Again, there doesn't seem to be any coverage in independent reliable sources for this list, which means it fails WP:LISTN.
      • Icepick (Transformers): redirect to List of Decepticons. Like the others, this one lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. There are a few price guides indexed by Google Books, but that's about it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:30, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree with NinjaRobotPirate, whose analysis looks about right. Perhaps Windbreaker requires a separate discussion. As a general note, though, I question the value of these mass nominations; they mean that articles can't always get the consideration they warrant, and can make for complex, frustrating discussions/closes ("no consensus on two, merge three and delete one. Four are being kept, but I note that no one said anything about them".) Josh Milburn (talk) 13:47, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Redirect to Elections in Nicaragua#Municipal election results 1990-2004. A search for sources finds several probably reliable that confirm that this organisation did run a candidate for Mayor of Managua in 1996, taking advantage of what seems to have been a short-lived provision in Nicaraguan electoral law, who was expected to win but was in fact narrowly defeated. Seeing that Managua is both Nicaragua's capital and its largest city, it is not surprising that this organisation gets passing mentions when the electoral provision it used is discussed in accounts of the 1996 elections. However, the target article already gives every fact in this article in better context. The same also applies to Civic Association of Potosí, although that organisation won the corresponding election in Potosí (and actually has a cited source apparently confirming this) and therefore arguably has a better case for stand-alone notability.

    Does not appear to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Notability all seems to be inherited from The Kooks as opposed to individually. Suggest redirect to The Kooks. PGWG (talk) 18:27, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep, leaning to strong keep. The Kooks are a big enough band, and he gets enough coverage himself to have an article within WP:MUSICBIO, irrespective of a lack of solo releases. He's done significant news features on his own, such as this and this. He's also covered by major news sites as a celebrity in his own right, such as here and here. That's just from a quick search and this coverage goes back to 2005 or 2006 or so. The article is poor but he's established notability beyond the name of the band.

    Notability completely unestablished. No non-primary sources. Flagged since 2010 without improvement. PROD removed with assertion of possible notability, but without repair of problems. For a BLP to be kept, we absolutely need the verifiable third-party reliable sources.

    • Keep - The article was created in 2009 so is not subject to newer BLP requirements. We're not debating the quality of the article here, the article can be improved. Slow progress, also not a valid reason to delete (WP:NODEADLINE). We should be focused on the notability of the subject. Her work has been cited over 1000 times so I think it is clear that she is influential in her field and therefore meets WP:NACADEMIC. ~Kvng (talk) 04:23, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're still talking hypotheticals that there's been no evidence presented for. Getting citations is not sufficient to pass WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMICS (indeed Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics warns specifically against glib measures of citation such as Google Scholar) - which guideline were you thinking of that it is in fact relevant to? This article presently doesn't pass general notability, let alone BLP notability. You're just claiming she could be notable some time in the future - there's been six years to come up with anything, and in that time there's been nothing. If you have the evidence, please add it to the article - David Gerard (talk) 09:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Proposing deletion because you want other editors to improve articles is not good form. AfD is not for cleanup. I don't think have made a good case for deletion.

    • Merge both articles to Jounce, or possibly Snap, Crackle and Pop#Physics. Lots of notable physics terms are jokes: quark, strange, charm, barn, qubit, anyon, ... the question is whether these terms are in use. The 8 sources above show that both crackle and pop are used across the fields of physics, human motion, control theory, and finance. None of the mentions are in enough depth to justify standalone articles, but both are verifiable across multiple independent reliable sources. Our policy is to WP:PRESERVE verifiable content when we can, and in this case merge is an obvious alternative to deletion. As the next derivatives in the series beyond jounce/snap, it makes sense to put in a section with their definitions and a few examples of use in that article--in fact they are already mentioned there. --Mark viking (talk) 18:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Redirect both to Snap, Crackle and Pop#Physics. On the merits: I see no material worth keeping, as the target article already says all that is to be said. I hope none is seriously suggesting to put 5+ lines of (trivial) equations into an article about cereal elves.
    On the form, the nominating statement is strongly implying something that is false. The former AfDs for crackle were one NC and one redirect to displacement (vector), and the AfD for pop was NC. TigraanClick here to contact me 14:30, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Glossary of physics seems like a good location for the definition, and yes, better than the muesli. But that page is seriously underlinked (i.e., there's little chance a reader would ever end up there). So maybe combine this with either a redirect, or a disambiguation if the cereal stays.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:07, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I will also pull in the references above as appropriate and develop a consistent section pulling the whole series together. Aoziwe (talk) 13:26, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete and Redirect perhaps if there's still questionability regarding the current contents, anything can be mentioned there if needed but I'm still not seeing the full convincing of keeping as its own. SwisterTwister talk 20:03, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Merge all three into one article. The concepts of snap, crackle, and pop in the physics context should be covered, but the current collection of pop (physics), jounce, snap (physics), and crackle (physics) is a silly way to organize them. And the articles are badly written too; a massive display of differential equations doesn't add anything to the reader's understanding of the concepts. I would merge all three of those into a common article, say higher-order position derivatives, which discusses all of them in a coherent way, and leaves out (or, at least, reduces) the equation carpet-bomb. And, some sort of navigation aids, connecting these with the Snap, Crackle and Pop -- RoySmith (talk) 13:21, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Or, as Aoziwe suggests above, merge them into a unified discussion in a section of Kinematics. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:25, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Be aware that using multiple accounts to reinforce a viewpoint is considered a serious breach of community trust, and that commenting on other users rather than the article is also considered disruptive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maybeparaphrased (talkcontribs) 03:05, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep His website lists a number of sources, many with links that can be verified. There are reviews and articles in Border Crossings, Globe and Mail, Art in America, amongst others. His exhibition record is decent -- some °museum shows. And he appears to be in the collections of many museums (needs verification beyond his website). Passes GNG and ARTIST. The article just needs to be improved with sources. freshacconci talk to me 11:46, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • KeepSpeedy Keep, His web site lists over a dozen significant museums that have his work in their permanent collection, which means he meets WP:ARTIST, not to mention the equally true arguments made by freshacconci above. WP:BEFORE was needed here.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 00:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I've added five permanent collection he is in, as well the fact that he has five drawings in the Pompidou's collection in Paris. Also known as the National Art Museum, or "Musée National d'Art Moderne". This is only about a third of the collections he is in. I would suggest that he clearly meets WP:ARTIST by the collections, and that the AfD should be closed as speedy keep. Changing vote above.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 00:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Whatever his website does or does not state does not really indicate if the article at afd meets NARTIST . That of course would be a primary not secondary much less independent source. Maybeparaphrased (talk) 01:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Check WP:ARTIST. He meets the requirements under being in numerous museum collections, many of which are sourced on the article page. Quote"The person's work (or works)... (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Pompidou. Numerous others. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 01:21, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • comment I checked ARTIST before I nominated him. You are claiming against AGF that I did not observe BEFORE here at and at other articles nominated by me for deletion. Then I figured it out when I looked up all the original article creators and I noted that two articles written by you were sent to afd. Using AGF I must surmise it is just a coincidence. So if you have a problem, take it to a better venue. AFD is not the place to try to get back at someone by claiming in bad faith that they did not observe before. Understand it, I always do research and observe before. Stop falsely claiming I do not in order to try and influence others at AFD. It is not proper. Maybeparaphrased (talk) 01:43, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The ten museum collections (including the national Museum of Gfrance, at the Pompidou) that I easily found and added to the article, which gaurantee notability, are something that should have been found during WP:BEFORE. That is my only point. Please cease making false claims against me, as you were warned to do by admins at the recent ANI. Let's move along with the AfD with civility please.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 01:50, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete I agree with the nominator in this case GNG is met. On another matter I think it is rude and disruptive for HappyValleyEditor to have bad faith and accuse someone iof no before. Rather that admit when maybe addresses the poor behaviour he strikes out at him make more trouble at an AFD when the guy asked him to stop and go to a better venue. I have left a warning on the page of HappyValleyEditor for his bad faith shown here. Take that somewhere else. Zpeopleheart (talk) 02:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    I make no false claims. While you are at it trying further to muddy this AFD. You were warned at that ANI you are referring to to steer clear of an editor that you tried to get in trouble. I guess it is another coincidence that since I disagreed with your position there you are now showing up at adds where I have posted falsely claiming I do not observe before. You were wrong on that. Your asking for a IBan was denied. Stop showing bad faith. Maybeparaphrased (talk) 02:16, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I've added ten museum collections, over twenty publications and a half dozen news/periodical refs, so this should be a strong keep now. I'll leave the article as it is and let other editors decide now.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 03:03, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Having such list of permanent collections and source I have no any doubt, this one is for keep. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:11, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Who exactly is the "majority vote" template directed towards? I've been involved with hundreds (thousands?) of AfDs and when that template is needed it's always because the discussion is littered with SPAs and new accounts calling for keep/delete without citing Wikipedia policy. I don't see any evidence of that here. In fact, the whole discussion is taking place with the involvement of only experienced editors. freshacconci talk to me 14:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep The article satisfies WP:ARTIST. Sherman has received recognition for his use of encaustic painting (WPARTIST#2), he is the creator of a substantial body of work that has been critically reviewed (WPARTIST#3), and his work has been exhibited in and collected by notable museums (WPARTIST#4) Mduvekot (talk) 17:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    please explain how references 9 through to 17 are "claims on an artist's website." and while you're at it that one page reviews are "mere mentions". Coolabahapple (talk) 21:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    Promotional article , sourced to local promotional press releases.If the promotional material were removed there would be nothing left. This gives no evidence for notability , but even if there were to be some, borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason for deletion.

    Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. The only reference that gives substantial coverage is the Digital Trends interview. The rest are passing mentions, and only all I can find about him are more passing mentions of his work, and reviews on blogs, with no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources.
