Clearly fails WP:SOLDIER, nothing of notability detailed in the article, subject was of no military or public note, died in no unusual or notable circumstances, and was just one of the several hundred soldiers killed during the 2016 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes; his death is not even worthy of a mention on the main article. The article itself seems to be a bad faith creation made in response to the existence of the Kyaram Sloyan article. The creator of the Murad Mirzayev article has stated in an AfD that the Sloyan article should be deleted [1] yet (after making that opinion) created this article, despite its subject's lack of notability compared to the events detailed in the Sloyan one. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 01:17, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The nominator made a mistake claiming that Mirzayev fails WP:SOLDIER. Actually, he is notable according to this rule, because he was awarded his nation's highest award for valour. Murad Mirzayev is a National Hero of Azerbaijan that is the highest award of Azerbaijan. Comparison with article about Sloyan is unacceptable according to WP:OTHERSTUFF. Sloyan is not notable as military person. He was just a soldier whose death is used in propaganda against Azerbaijan. But Mirzayev is notable as military person due to his award of National Hero of Azerbaijan. --Interfase (talk) 03:18, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is not such a rule. WP:Soldier just assumes that " individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they: Were awarded their nation's highest award for valour". It looks like Mirzayev is the exception as he has no sufficient coverage in independent reliable sources. OptimusView (talk) 06:37, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any reason to make Murad Mirzayev an exception. There are enough verifiable independent, reliable sources about Murad Mirzayev covered his biography. If you don't agree with them because of your personal opinion it is not a problem of Wikipedia.--Interfase (talk) 07:08, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Azerbaijan is a Family dictatorship and the award was due to propagandist purposes. The Mirzayev has no notability, it is even unknown, for what he was awarded. we have only few Azeri propagandist sources on him. no neutral reliable sources about Mirzayev. OptimusView (talk) 05:40, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I recommend to ignore such arguments due to Wikipedia:Content disclaimer. If you don't like Azerbaijan (that is republic btw, not dictatorship as you think) and its heroes it's your problem, not Wikipeida's that has clear rule that military people awarded their nation's highest award for valour are notable. For what directly he was awarded cannot make an effect on his notability. It's discussion about the content. --Interfase (talk) 05:57, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is not just my personal opinion but a fact [2]. Azerbaijan is also not a democracy [3]. Compare with North Korea. OptimusView (talk) 06:13, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We don't discuss the issues around human rights in Azerbaijan. As a fact Azerbaijan is republic and exactly as a republic Azerbaijan is member of United Nations. That is fact. The accusations on violation of democracy in some country cannot make an affect on the notability of that country's people. --Interfase (talk) 06:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As it is a dictatorship it affects on awarding. A hero in a dictatorship is not the same a hero in a democratic country. Per WP:Soldier, "individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources." No even one independent reliable source writes about Mirzayev. That's all! OptimusView (talk) 06:37, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, what you quoted, is "in general". Secondly, there are enough verifiable independent (Azerbaijan press not depends on Mirzayev), reliable sources about Murad Mirzayev covered his biography. There presence in article is enough to have an article about the hero. And I cannot agree with the opinion that a hero in Azerbaijan cannot be notable because some issues about democracy. Try to change a guide, because in this link I see National Hero of Azerbaijan, which means that they are notable for Wikipedia. --Interfase (talk) 06:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Being a "National Hero of Azerbaijan" is not notable, it is a propaganda award not connected to actual military valor. The article does not even detail how or when or where this individual died or what actions he did to deserve any award. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 13:53, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We know that he died during April 2016 clashes in Nagorno Karabakh. That is enough. Details are the topic of another discussion and their absence (for now) cannot be a reason for deletion. As a fact in Wikipedia National Heroes of Azerbaijan are notable. You may agree with this or not. You may call this "propaganda award" but it is personal and not reliable opinion of Wikipedia user that should be ignored. As I see this nomination is typical example of Wikipedia:Content disclaimer. Users who want to delete the article are known for their pro-Armenian edits in Wikipedia and they don't want to see here an article about National Heroes of Azerbaijan because of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. But such behavior is against our rules and not acceptable. --Interfase (talk) 14:08, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He won his country's highest military honor and the references in the article say so, and therefore meets WP:SOLDIER. We do not limit our coverage of notable soldiers only to those who fought for liberal western democracies. We have plenty of biographies of soldiers from countries widely considered by many to be dictatorships. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 21:28, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete(Removing vote on the basis that Sloyan article was kept with no consensus.) : I am using the same rational as the one on the article about Sloyan. Also, notability should be earned by more than the importance a head of state give to one of his personals. Azerbaijan main export is its culture, and there are Azerbaijani artists more notable because of earned popularity (not standing on a head of state given importance) but no such coverage. While this qualifies in paper to WP:Soldiers, it sure does not in spirit. Yaḥyā ‎ (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • We don't speak about artists, but military people. If they earned their state's highest award it means that they did something very notable for their state and nation, for its defence. That's why we make tham notable for Wikipedia, espessialy those who are officialy heroes. That's why Murad Mitzayev is notable. --Interfase (talk) 20:39, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What did "officially heroic" Mirzayev do that was "very notable for their state and nation"? Wikipedia should not be a propaganda outlet for Azerbaijan - the status of military awards when deciding on notability should be based on common sense and real military valor or achievement, they should not be hijacked by dictatorships who hand them out for purely propaganda purposes. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 12:54, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If he received his nation's highest award it means that he did something special during the clashes that was a reason for his awarding. Detalis as I said is a topic of another discussion about the improvement of the article. The absense of the details, which may even be classified information, are not a reason for such nomination. If you don't like this award also could not be a reason. --Interfase (talk) 19:26, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While WP:Soldier to access notability is used, what is missed, is that policies like these in real life, are not static they change to correspond in letter to what they were intended for but will never be able to fully word (limitations of axiomic systems [4], and to prevent people from exploiting weaknesses often without such intentions). In spirit this article plainly fails the very principles which motivates to even develop something such as WP:Soldier. The same rational should be used to delete this article as those here [5], for another article from your opponents, which you voted to delete. You rightly claimed in Sloyan case that he did not receive the highest honour to meet WP:Soldier, what if the Armenian president grants it? Do you see where I am going? What if it is later uncovered that Alyiev granted such honours to fabricate a notability in response to Sloyan coverage in the media (he, afteral, received this honour the same day Saloyan article was created on Wikipedia)? It is obvious that members of the community will have no choice but to do what computer scientists do, by patching policies (same way software are updated) to prevent such cases. The hierarchic tree if added on pages like WP:Soldier, would be such a patch. Since his entire notability is ensured by one single honour received for yet obscure reasons, and nothing higher in the hierarchic feeds it (above categories), it (notability) will starve. This is different than Azerbaijani artists notability which is won by popular acclaim and not standing on one man decisions. Would be a nice thing to see both sides changing their vote to have both articles deleted. Yaḥyā ‎ (talk) 23:11, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply If the other fellow named Sloyan receives his country's highest military honor, then of course, I will support keeping an article about him. This is not a game of nationalistic tit-for-tat, and I wish that these two countries would stop their futile battling. But until then, we should accept biographies of the soldiers on either side who are granted their country's highest military honors. As for artists of any nationality, we have a notability guideline for them, which should be applied in an even-handed fashion. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:35, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Futile battling". How condescending of you. It will be worth a week's ban to call you a cretin. This issue has nothing to do with "sides" as you claim. We have many articles on Wikipedia about individuals who fought for, and received honors from, regimes that most would consider abominations. That is not this AfD issue - those individuals have details about what they did to receive their awards, they will have a proper military biography, the awards they got had military justification. There is nothing here like that. No details about what Mirzayev did, no detail even on why, how, where, or when he died. There is no suggestion he was doing anything covert that required his actions to be kept secret. All he did was die - not an insignificant thing, but no more significant that that of the several hundred others who also died in the same short conflict. Using the award issue as a way to keep this article is an abuse of the guidance, and I think an abuse of all the genuine acts of military valor that resulted in genuine awards. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 13:18, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We know what Mirzayev did. He distinguished himself in the battle to protect the territorial integrity of his country and protect the civilian population of neighbouring districts. It is for this medal of National Hero is awarded. If we don't know any special details it is not a reason for deletion. The details may even be classified information. Why we should know this. This arguments could be significant if we nominate this article for Featured article. For now the fact about awarding him with his state's highest wawrd is enough to call Mirzayev notable. You maynot like him and his award, but it is Wikipedia and it may contain information that you don't like and cannot accept. --Interfase (talk) 19:26, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Interfase, I was wondering if you were also replying me. I am not questioning the factuality of what you wrote, never actually did. What I wrote, I also found it from an article titled: The rules are principles:The rules are principles, not laws, on Wikipedia. Policies and guidelines exist only as rough approximations of their underlying principles. They are not intended to provide an exact or complete definition of the principles in all circumstances. They must be understood in context, using some sense and discretion. [6] I strongly suggest you read the rest of the article. The underlying principles assessing notability (like I mentioned above) are here discarded by simply using wp:soldier. Also WP:FATRAT might be helpful in this situation. I do understand your frustration, because neither article would logically qualify. Notability will justify something being said in a main article, but this alone does not justify either of them to have their articles standalone because of what was raised here.

  • Keep - It's been quite a while since this issue was meaningfully addressed at AfD. With overwhelming agreement across seven deletion discussions (see discussions on Brian Selden, Tommi Hovi, Darwin Kastle, Kai Budde, Mike Long, and Jon Finkel, twice), it's fairly clear that there is a consensus that the top Magic: The Gathering players are notable. On that basis, WP:MTG established some guidelines as to when an MTG player is notable, which Fujita meets. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:55, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The WP:MTG guidelines allow for pages that don't otherwise meet GNG requirements. Many of these pro players articles just lack reliable, secondary sources, plain and simple and so shouldn't exist on WP as standalone articles. Note that per WP:LOCALCONCENSUS "... unless they can convince the broader community that such action is right, participants in a WikiProject cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline does not apply to articles within its scope. " Also note that an WP:ALTERNATIVE, a fan wiki that covers the MTG pro scene, exists. So its not like this information would be lost if not for wikipedia.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:46, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Those prior discussions were all from September 2006 absent one from November 2005 and one was closed on a bad-faith nomination. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roy St. Clair (4th nomination) was also in 2006 and has remained deleted for close to a decade. It's been a decade and consensus can change. Here, I think that there must be more evidence of notability beyond what the group's local consensus has determined. In a decade, there's been literally nothing on any of those pages more than permanent stubs about a 2-3 year period of their lives based entirely on primary sources with no independence to the subject matter. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NN indie band. The only sources were commercial links and a "namedrop" ref that didn't make sense (because said person is never mentioned).

The subject is not notable enough to be on Wikipedia. There hasn't been enough evidence to justify their notability and likely won't be enough content for this page to ever reach such a level, even with the addition of more sources. NikolaiHo 21:10, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia criteria for entertainers includes "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" as a criteria. Per the article, the subject has starred in multiple notable stage productions. How does this not meet the notability requirement? Dbarefoot (talk) 21:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at the article content, it states that "She has starred in productions at the Arts Club Theatre, Bard on the Beach, Vancouver Playhouse and the Belfry Theatre,..." all of which are simply theatres or organizations. It doesn't once mention a specific show which she was involved in, which is because none were notable enough to be on Wikipedia either. The organizations aforementioned are relatively small scale local enterprises, so none of their productions are considered notable per Wikipedia's policies. So no, she has not been in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions, or at least the article doesn't state it. Well, after doing some Google querying, I didn't find any notable results either. NikolaiHo 23:24, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article's content doesn't always determine notability. In this case, it's a lot harder to source stage actors. I've started putting together her body of work and added critical receptions to her performance. She passes as WP:NACTOR, #1, as she has had several major roles in different productions. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:48, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've added a considerable body of work to her article which illustrates that she has major roles in several different important plays. Many times, she is the female lead. I've also added critical receptions to her work (all of which were positive so far). Please take a look at the article. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:36, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd be more convinced by the arguments for notability if it could be shown that Lines had performed in major roles in major productions in more than one city. Vancouver is an important regional centre, and by all accounts that I have heard a lovely place, but in theatre terms it's not New York or London, where a stage actor can make a notable career without performing elsewhere. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the form in which this existed before Megalibrarygirl took it on, I would have agreed with the deletion. But now it's quite solid, and cites a range of reliable newspaper sources not limited to Vancouver alone — in fact, the referencing even gets all the way over to Toronto and Ottawa a couple of times, which is fairly rare for a Vancouver-based stage actress. I'll grant that Vancouver's not NYC or London in terms of theatre, but it's not Palookaville either — it's on the same High-Beta tier of theatre notability as Toronto and Chicago. Certainly not every working stage actor in Vancouver would get a free pass over WP:NACTOR just for working, but that's true of working stage actors in London and NYC too (they aren't all Audra McDonald, after all) — and when it comes to stage acting, having to move around from one city to another to take roles wherever you can get 'em actually tends to work against notability rather than bolstering it as 86 suggests, because the less established actors are the ones who tend to have to move around on the "touring production of Anne of Green Gables" circuit, while the ones who are already making good coin at home tend to stay put. But at any rate, when there's this much sourcing, and you can bring Jessies into it, then that does put her above the waterline. Keep, and barnstar to Megalibrarygirl.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO for lack of "significant coverage". Two sources, one of which may not even be about the subject (it's behind a paywall) does not fulfill this requirement. Yoninah (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just another obscure Buddhist schema VictoriaGraysonTalk 20:29, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not following the policy reason for delete. The phrase appears in several books I've easily found, which suggests to me it is notable as per the WP:GNG. JMWt (talk) 21:09, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and request expert attention Nobody would try to delete Seven virtues - Though I admit the latter had more impact in general. There appeared to be plenty of references to go around, which would appear to make it a fairly notable part of Buddhism theology. Also the article definitely needed some cleanup and maybe a good lot more references. JWNoctistalk to me 02:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The Google Books search automatically linked by the nomination process appears, prima facie, to find several independent reliable sources with significant coverage, so we really need a better reason for deletion than "just another obscure Buddhist schema". I would note that it would be helpful, as Buddhism is a very diverse religion, if the article could explain which branch(es) of Buddhism accept this concept. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:23, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested redirect by article creator, White-Black-Kitten. The subject has not received significant coverage by reliable, third party sources, thereby does not pass WP:NOTE. The article does not even cite a single third party source, but is derived entirely on primary source. It is also nothing more than a plot summary and provides no real world context or commentary, which violates WP:NOTPLOT. —Farix (t | c) 20:29, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep => Sarada is actually a notable character and, considering that smaller characters such as Shikamaru or Lee do have Wikipedia pages, she should have one, too. Unlike Shikamaru and Lee, she was the protagonist of an entire story and still is one of the main characters of a movie and of another series (the Boruto one). --Loladin9 (talk) 21:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC) Loladin9 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • Comment Fictional characters aren't considered notable based on their importance in the work of fiction, but based on the real world relevance which can be cited through reliable, third-party sources. If you actually look at the articles on Shikamaru Nara or Rock Lee, you will see that their notability is backed up by such source and their articles aren't mere plot summaries. But this article doesn't have a single one and is nothing but a plot summary. —Farix (t | c) 22:01, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment This obviously is a new article and yes, it, indeed, does need improvements. But this is what Wikipedia is for.

It's not promising, it's just a very long plot summary. That doesn't make for a good article.SephyTheThird (talk) 22:57, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with Sephy, the problem with a long plot is that it can to the point that unless you have seen the show you will not understand it. Keep the plot simple for starters, and let the reader have their own experience with the character. In order for potential to be at hand, you need to provide some sources that show how this character has been received outside of the fan-base. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:30, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Creation from WP:reliable sources to add realworld information is good but what is more important is creating a reception section to pass WP:Notability.Tintor2 (talk) 22:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect Too soon. Article notability is not determined by fans views on notability or importance but coverage in reliable third party sources. There is certainly coverage about the character, but there isn't sufficient commentary by accepted experts. As the article stands it is just excessive plot summary.SephyTheThird (talk) 22:57, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect I encourage the creator to look at Sakura Haruno, or Gaara then at the "Reception" sections. This is what this article needs that it doesn't have. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:31, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closing admin I this is made into a redirect it may need to be protected, Naruto does have a large fan-base. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:33, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If it has a slight chance of having some decent notability, should it be moved to Draft? That will give folks a chance to work on it until it meets standards. This means finding some decent sources that talk about the character. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 01:30, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What interviews? AngusWOOF (barksniff) 05:44, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Masashi Kishimoto has given several interviews about Sarada Uchiha, which could be very useful for the Creation field. For example, there is an interview in which he stated that he had intially wanted to make Sarada just like a girl version of Sasuke, but had then thought that she would have been too scary like this, so he had eventually decided to add some of Sakura's elements to her, too. There is also another interview in which he stated that he had decided to add glasses to Sarada's design in order to make her look intellectual. He also stated that he aimed to make Sarada look pretty even when she has her glasses on. The links to the sources for these interviews could easily be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chokolane (talkcontribs) 10:47, 10 May 2016 (UTC) Chokolane (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Advertorially-toned article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no reliable source coverage to support it. Right across the board the sourcing here is to primary sources and YouTube videos that cannot assist notability at all, with the exception of a small smattering of local newspaper coverage in their own hometown. Being non-winning contestants in a music competition series is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself, and nothing else here is strong enough to grant them a presumption of notability in the absence of better sourcing than this. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform where a band automatically gets to keep an article just because they exist -- real reliable source coverage, supporting a credible claim of notability, must be present. And on a ProQuest search, I found just two WP:ROUTINE local concert listings for them, with no evidence of enough substantive coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Delete.

  • Delete I'm struggling to find any sources that aren't clearly mirrors of this article, and the article itself doesn't claim that he has held any sort of elected office, so he doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN. At most I'd suggest a mention in the article about his father, who is much more prominent. Hut 8.5 21:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The article claims that he's a prominent political figure, but fails to contain or source any content about what would make him a prominent political figure — such as holding a specific political office that would clear the WP:NPOL bar, or being a political organizer or activist who's covered by the media widely enough to satisfy WP:GNG. As always, a Wikipedia article is not kept just because the subject is claimed to have unsubstantiated prominence or notability — an article lives or dies on the volume and quality of reliable sourcing that can be provided to support their prominence or notability. But all the way back to its original creation, this has never had more sourcing or substance to it than it does now. Bearcat (talk) 16:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suspect that the subject's name is not actually "Sardar Sher Ali Khan Mazari" but is in fact some subset of that.

This is mostly a gossip page about the subject made by her high school friends. The only claim Chew has to any notability is that she was admitted to Harvard University, which is apparently rare among Malaysians. But the fact that her local press was impressed by her accomplishment does not make her globally notable. Her other "accomplishments" amount to being a somewhat talented teen who appeared in her school's talent show and released some youtube videos. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. This article is written mostly tongue in cheek, with sentences such as "Eleasha was also democratically elected as TCSH’s Prom Queen in 2013, extending her peaceful rule from little rodent colonies and mammal kingdoms to the larger student population as a whole." The article is filled with links to YouTube videos with no actual connection to the subject but which are apparently intended to portray ideas mentioned in the article humorously. Rather than wasting time removing all those links, I think we would be better off deleting the article altogether. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:47, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I sppedied tis a long time ago, but the speedy was declined on the grounds that a song by the band features in a major movie release. Actually that seems like a claim of notability for the song rather than the band: note that pretty well all the references are self-published, you tube or Amazon. Additionally the lead singer Rob Benedict has a biog (he acts). I really don't think this article is necessary...I've just given it a feew edits; one thing was removing gross overlinking to the singers biog, the kind of crapola that makes me think a snecking publicist has been involved.TheLongTone (talk) 12:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC) TheLongTone (talk) 12:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am, incidentally, a tad suspicious of new editors who throw around wiki jargon in the way that Caspera y does. Even if they are ludicrously off-beam. It's obvious that this article has been overgroomed by some drone probably doing so for moolah; the article will not get acquire new content because there is seemingly nothing about these dull rawk merchants, probably because they are terminally dull. Any possible improvement lies in the area of ruthlesslessly eradicating spam and fluff.TheLongTone (talk) 13:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct that I am new and this is the first page I stumbled upon with delete notice. I figured this is small enough article for my first try. Jargons are specifically listed in the list of Wikipedia deletion guide to use in these discussions, I just followed their rules. I was not aware or had no intention of being offensive for using them. I see the point that a single song may be a better representation of the article than the band based on the previous version of the page. However now there are some new citations (that I haven't yet reviewed), which brings to my original point of no effort/potential on the article. It was mentioned that the page was "overgroomed" as "vanity project", but the impression from history was that not much effort was made to clean up or bring it up to standard. Comment about "the article will not acquire new content" is pure speculation. So I guess now it's up to the administrator to judge if the article warrants deletion. I will most likely not follow up on this further. Thank you for your time. Caspera y (talk) 18:44, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Current sourcing includes 2 links to the company's own website, the announcement of a non-notable award, and a press release. Most likely since that is about all that is out there on this company. Due to the commonality of the name it was difficult to research, but adding "water purifier" to the search returned very little. There's a piece in a trade magazine, but it is unattributed, and reads like a press release. Other than that you have a press release, and some trivial mentions. That's it. I would have prodded it, but there was no point, as the article's creator continues to remove the notability tag I added when I reviewed the page, without any additional notability sources, so the prod was sure to be contested.

FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 12:52, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The GNIS entry for this place (the first reference) describes it as a locale; locales are officially defined as a "place at which there is or was human activity", and while this occasionally can mean a community, we'd need references to back that up since it's more likely to mean something else. The only other reference we have suggests that this place was some sort of stop or waypoint along a railroad, though it's unclear from the source whether it was a station or something else. (Our article on the railroad suggests it's the site of a horseshoe curve, though it's unsourced; this source suggests it was a station.) I can't find any other sources about this place, and "possible location of a closed railway station" isn't enough evidence to show this place was a community at any point. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 12:36, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the GNIS (Geographic names information system) definition for "locale" says "Place at which there is or was human activity; it does not include populated places..." (My emphasis.)

  • Comment The WP:NFOOTBALL policy concerns the notability of association football players regardless of age, race or gender, when creating an article on Wikipedia the guidelines for notability have to be met otherwise any Tom, Dick or Harry could have a Wikipedia article made about them and that would take up a lot of space Seasider91 (talk) 13:46, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem is precisely that players are being judged by a one-size-fits-all guideline that is not appropriate for all of them.

Well, this is not a recreation of the deleted page of Miss Universe 2015. This page is only taking all the information that is being received while all the candidates are being selected. This is not the main page of Miss Universe 2016, it is just all the candidates that have been selected up to day.

It is just a creative way to circumvent the protection on "Miss Universe 2016". The Banner talk 11:21, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The page you are trying to delete is just where all the information of the candidates that are being selected is being taken. The competition begins when the first candidate gets selected. We need to have information of all of the candidates ready, because this page is not just for the Wikipedia users, is too for the people who want to be informed about how is the pageant going, which ones are the candidates or when is going to be held other national pageants. Cesaro2012 (talk) 21:44, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
First you need a pageant with date and venue. As long as you have no proper sourced pageant, the list of potential participants is utterly useless. Even so, the article needs sources conform WP:RS. In the present state I estimate that 80% of all sources fail on that point. The Banner talk 23:57, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we need date and venue because while date and venue are not being revealed, other important facts are being revealed as the number of contestants (that are the 95% of the page). I checked all the sources and they are from official pages in Facebook and Instagram, or in different pageant related pages that are 100% reliable. I can tell you that 90% of the sources of this page are 100% reliable. Cesaro2012 (talk) 10:49, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only a 15% of sources in this page are from Facebook of Instagram. The rest of the sources come from reliable pages that are known in the pageantry world and other sources were given by news reporters or national news. That 15% of social media sources have been taken from the official pages of the respective country pageants (Making counts 85% of the sources of this page are completely reliable and just 15% of those sources can be proven by yourself). I have read WP:RS and it says that social media pages are banned to be used as reliable sources, those not-reliable sources would be deleted or replaced by another source on Internet.Cesaro2012 (talk) 19:09, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG, the comment above that GNG is met is erroneous as it ignores the fundamental element of GNG that sources must be independent of the subject. Though there are multiple sources in the article, there is very little presented out side of primary sources (e.g. University of Washington, Seattle Sounders, US Soccer websites, organisations with which the player was inherently related). Those third party sources present are brief in the extreme. Only this comes even close to being a source that could be used to justify GNG. Would need to see much more like this to be satisfied that GNG is met. Fenix down (talk) 08:20, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd come across this as a G4 speedy, but it didn't entirely qualify since the article was deleted per author request rather than through the AfD. The current version also has a slightly larger amount of info than the prior version did, so I'm taking this back to AfD since it doesn't fit cleanly under G4.

There's really no coverage out there for Weinberg and neither his time served in office or his sports career meet the requirements of WP:NFOOTY or WP:NPOLITICIAN. None of his writings seem to have gained coverage in places Wikipedia would consider reliable, so he would not qualify for WP:CREATIVE either.

I don't think you should delete this entry, Weinberg is an important voice in Jewish-Canadian literature and politics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.223.160 (talk) 00:22, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even by Dolovis' standards this one is pretty brazen; the subject's professional career was in the mid-minors as an itinerant backup goaltender, playing for nine separate clubs in only three seasons, and the highest honor he achieved in college was being named his conference's "goaltender of the week," twice.

The result was no consensus. Opinions are sharply divided. The "keep" side points to the coverage received by this ... whatever it is; whereas the "delete" side advances attack/slander/libel concerns, and/or considers this to be an ephemeral news topic. These are all valid arguments, but the "delete" opinions are not so compelling as to mandate deletion absent consensus.

While we delete attack pages, we do cover notable attacks, and to distinguish the one from the other is a matter of editorial consensus - as is the question of whether sources reflect routine coverage or are substantial enough to be the basis of an article. Until a possible later discussion reaches consensus on this, perhaps after this whole election thing, the article is kept by default.

There are widely voiced concerns that the title is problematic, but that can be changed editorially and does not need deletion.  Sandstein  17:57, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NEOLOGMEME, WP:NOt your meme, and WP:Memes of living persons. But really, I think this should have at most a mention somewhere. Yea sure it was talked about on some news sites, but it's usage will probably drop out now that Ted Cruz has dropped out. It was a "current event joke" made during the rise of his campaign. Could we apply the principles of WP:NEOLOGISM to this? Wickypedoia (talk) 03:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pepe has been around for alot longer. This was made as a joke during his campaign. If it is truly notable, why not mention it over at Ted Cruz, United States presidential election, 2016, or even Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016? Hence "WP:NEOLOGMEME". Just one of many jokes/memes, whatever you want to call it, made during this election. "Jeb is low energy", "Hilary is corrupt", "Trump is racist", "Trump is Islamophobic", "Trump is a sexist"... these all got their fair share of coverage, should we have articles on those too? Oh looky here [20], anybody want to start "Bernie Sanders is a communist"? Wickypedoia (talk) 20:41, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The major difference between this and other insults thrown at politicians across the election season is the fact that those don't qualify as Internet memes. The examples you suggest are all very general feelings or insults about candidates that are not comparable to this kind of Internet meme; better examples would be along the lines of the pejorative "Little Marco", but even that's not really a good analogue. "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer" is not just a random insult hurled at a politican; it's a somewhat bizarre in-joke on the Internet which has been covered well enough in reliable sources to warrant an article. Many have brought concerns about libel, of course, so if that's a concern we could rename the article. But it's important to draw a line between things like this and whatever Donald Trump says on Twitter. —0xF8E8 (talk) 16:32, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What about Marcobot ("Marco Rubio is a robot") or "Trump is Hitler"? This has a page on Know Your Meme so I'll just say it's a meme but not all will agree. Whether or not it is a "true meme" isn't the main reason why it should get deleted. Many political-related meme-jokes will become popular for short periods of time and may even get coverage in news sites. I just think something like that should have coverage that is much more significant. Like if a historian finds that "This particular meme helped caused the downfall of Ted Cruz's political career and guaranteed a Trump/Clinton/Sanders/3rd party presidency" or something and has a detailed analysis, for example. Wickypedoia (talk) 03:28, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My point of contention is not whether this is a "true meme" or not. It is true that non-notable subjects get routine coverage for brief periods in the media, but merely looking at the selection of sources on the page demonstrates coverage has hardly been routine, with articles in February, April and May. It bears reiterating that notability is not temporary, and as easy as it is to dismiss this as a meaningless transient political insult, it's not quite that simple. You bring up Rubot (which is a closer example, though it doesn't have the sustained coverage to warrant an article), and "Trump is Hitler", to which I redirect you to my previous comment. It's important to distinguish the hyperbole that comes with general feelings from the phenomenon of "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer". One is an in-joke, and the other is not, which is arguably what's contributed to its coverage in reliable sources. If someone were to poll Florida voters and find 20% thought Trump had ancestry in the Hitler family, and Internet groups popularized the action, then it would be reasonable to compare. But once again, that's not really what I'm arguing—the matter up for debate is whether this subject has been the subject of significant, non-routine coverage in reliable sources. Whether historians are going to be conducting in-depth analyses twenty years from now, while not entirely irrelevant, is not the main issue here. That's why we have articles like All your base are belong to us, and the Leeroy Jenkins; we may consider these subjects trivial matters of the past, but they have received non-routine coverage in reliable sources. —0xF8E8 (talk) 03:10, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - trivial and libelous. This isn't even really an internet meme, in that (as far as I know) it never spawned any variations or took on a life of its own; it's just a humorous thing said (mostly on the internet) by people who don't like Ted Cruz. In that, it may be comparable to, say, Tricky Dick or His Accidency - but neither of those have an article, despite having at least 1,000 times the notability of this one. As it is, this article, consisting of nothing but examples of people who have used the phrase, ends up giving a soapbox for the irrelevant political opinions of (at the moment) a pro-choice activist/T-shirt seller, a bar owner, and a "Twitter user".

    • I should have said "potentially libelous", not "libelous". But the reason I think this might cross over into libel is the name of the article specifically - intentionally or not, it carries the direct accusation. If the article were named something like "Ted Cruz Zodiac Killer allegation" instead, it would be a different story. And by the way, accusing someone of lying about their birth country is different from accusing someone of being a serial killer. Korny O'Near (talk) 15:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(MOVED FROM ARTICLE TALK PAGE) This is not notable enough to have its own article. It should be mentioned in the relevant sections under Ted Cruz's article or the article about his campaign. I don't know the exact policy but I imagine Wikipedia wasn't designed to catalogue every second-rate meme that pops up. We have an article on O RLY, for example, and one on Rick Rolling, but those were genuine phenomenons that endured for over a decade. This was a sort-of popular joke that ran for a few months and then lost all relevancy when Cruz dropped out. Scrotebustin (talk) 02:18, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This article is obviously well done, but is it really necessary for this short-lived internet meme to have its very own Wikipedia article? Seriously? Give me a break.

  • Delete - Wikipedia does indeed have articles about goofy topics, particularly silly jokes and internet memes. Those topics are almost always, I think, ones that have lasting significance and notable coverage for months upon months, going into years. Pepe the Frog? Widespread thing around for years. Rick rolling? Same story. This joke about Cruz has gotten plenty of attention, I understand, but I still find little to no reason to see this as anything other than a flash-in-the-pan phenomenon. Most of the coverage are from trendy-type publications and blogs that may be notable, yes, but aren't treating this as like actual news. It's not libel in the strict sense, I know, as it's not alleged seriously by basically anyone. That still doesn't make it encyclopedic. I'd also like to point out that redirects and articles for Rubiobot, Little Marco, Short-Fingered Vulgarian, et cetera seem to form a pretty clear precedent. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the desire to get rid of the rampant political cruft that sprouts up during the election season, but the arguments for deletion here largely overlook important aspects of the subject's coverage. When you say "this fails WP:GNG", it would help to be a little more specific. It's not just some flash-in-the-pan meme; the subject has been the subject of articles in NPR, The Daily Dot, The Verge, been mentioned at the White House Correspondents Dinner, and characterized in The Guardian as and example of how "community-generated memes have grown to play a significant role in political discourse", just to give a few examples. Regarding libel, I can only see the title being a concern; we can certainly move, if necessary. But there's a reason we have articles on say, the court case over GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990; it's not libel to report people mockingly claimed something, and that the joke gained significant traction in the political sphere. Libel would involve either declaring in Wikipedia's voice, or giving undue weight to the idea that Cruz was the Zodiac Killer. —0xF8E8 (talk) 20:57, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A much briefer acknowledgement of this in the relevant and appropriate articles (i.e. Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016) would be fine — but by the same token whereby we don't and rightly shouldn't maintain a separate article about every individual pejorative nickname that one candidate coins to attack another one with, this isn't a thing that should have a full-on article in its own right as a standalone topic. Our role on Wikipedia is not to obsessively document every last bit of cultural flotsam that happens to float into view for a week or two — it's to apply some semblance of the will people still care about this in ten years? test, and I don't see how this passes that. For a comparable example, Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet once had a standalone article too — but as our notability standards tightened up, it eventually (and correctly) got cut down and converted into a redirect to, and much shorter subsection of, the article about the election campaign to which it was relevant, on the grounds that even if it was newsy at the time it happened, it wasn't a suitable topic for a permanent standalone article as a separate topic.

  • Delete - this could be included in the main page on Ted Cruz's campaign - or not. The topic is quasi-defamatory (some usernames related to this have been suppressed, for example), and while it may meet GNG, the RECENTISM argument seems meritorious to me. This is somewhat related to the AfD for Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash, though that has a much wider base in pop culture and extends beyond one topic which has happened to gain some notoriety in the media due to shock value.

  • Comment - I may be wrong, but it looks like there's absolute consensus without objection that the article's title should be changed, regardless of whether the article ends up being kept or not. That level of agreement points to it being a no-brainier sort of situation. Can we have an admin (or multiple admins) chime in on that? Something like "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac (meme)" has been proposed, but I'm not sure if that wording, precisely, is right. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 20:47, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • At least, move the article into something such as "Ted Cruz Zodiac Killer rumor", "...meme", or the like because, when I have seen "Ted Cruz is [not] the Zodiac Killer" as an autofill suggestion on Wikipedia, I was seriously shocked that the page might have been an attack page, and I do not like how the theme of the article, especially in the lead, seems to make the rumor impossibly actually true, so I think that the first sentence also must start with "The Ted Cruz Zodiac Killer rumor is..." or the like. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 01:52, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Possible suggestions for article title, on a scale of vague/cautious to direct/blunt: Ted Cruz–Zodiac meme, Ted Cruz as the Zodiac Killer (in popular culture?), Cruz-Zodiac conspiracy theory (meme). Merely appending (meme) to the end of the article as it is unnecessarily disambiguates it, and "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer meme" without parentheses is ambiguous; it might be parsed as Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer meme, as opposed to the intended Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer meme. My concern with phrasings like "rumor" or "allegation" is that it falsely implies to the reader these are serious suggestions. Regarding your concerns about the article's theme, I added a statement in the lede which hopefully addresses your concerns; it now states directly that Cruz is not the Zodiac Killer (which of course, no one is really contesting, just to be clear). —0xF8E8 (talk) 03:09, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Title is misleading if not outright libelous, however, the cultural phenomenon is notable enough that perhaps it deserves mentioning on either the Ted Cruz page or the Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016 page. Unlike other memes that people have mentioned as notable, this one should not be read independently of the context in which it occurred, and merely having this separate page lends credibility to the claim, even though it is a joke and was never intended to be a serious accusation. --Nquinn91 (talk) 15:43, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and redirect to Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker. It looks like Thorne's only major role was for the SNDN movie - his role in the Bill & Ted sequel looks to be pretty minor and it wouldn't really be enough to justify being a notable role. Normally I'd say that we should keep the article history in case something happens to establish further notability but it's unlikely at this point that he'll return to acting and more importantly, the article's history has some content that reads like nonsense at best and at worst is just sheer attack content. I've cleaned this out, but to be honest there's not anything currently in the article that couldn't be easily recreated in a few minutes if there is any future notability.

  • Delete. Nothing resembling a claim of significance as a business (and hotels are primarily businesses), and its only putative assertion of notability is that it's in a not-unusually-tall building. Non nontrivial reliable sourcing -- just a directory entry. I've stayed in taller hotels that don't have articles here. I've worked in taller buildings that don't have articles here. I've got friends who live in taller apartment buildings in Manhattan that don't have articles here. A business shouldn't be able to evade notability standards merely because it's in a building that doesn't really have more than the tiniest whiff of notability about it.

  • Merge, probably to List of hotels in Spain#Barcelona, if more notability is not established (or to List of hotels in Barcelona, if that is created as a list-article; watch for Draft:List of hotels in Barcelona). Hey, it is nicer and better to keep edit history in a redirect than it is to outright delete an article. The hotel could become notable for future events, or its existing notability may be established by more sources, and there's no need to completely eradicate the contribution. This hotel can be mentioned in the "List of hotels in Spain" list, with more text than is present for other entries there so far. That list is not yet well developed. The mention should use the Emporis reference in the current article, and should include the fact of it being the 10th tallest building in Barcelona. In fact this hotel, from its pic and size, looks like it must be one of the largest and/or "best" hotels in Barcelona, and probably is notable at least as a list-item.
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hotel Kandahar was an AFD which closed "Merge", for merger of material to new List of hotels in Andorra that was created during the AFD. The new list included just hotels in Andorra that were in historic registry buildings or that were significant for other reasons. We don't need an exhaustive list of hotels in Andorra or in Barcelona, but a list of the most significant ones is reasonable. --doncram 21:47, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why HW speedied those hotels in Barcelona, but they're in question now by me too, despite me usually being an "inclusionist". Why did someone else question a hotel in Andorra? Because it's not obvious hotels are notable. So you suggest these are notable because they are taller than 100 meters? There's no guideline or policy that I am aware of that buildings taller than 100 meters are deemed notable. If you can point to some discussion right on that topic, please do. We're not going to analyze all buildings in that category right now, but this AFD will be a precedent that can be cited if others are as minimalist as these here. And the last 3 of 6 in the list are shorter than 100 meters, so what is your theory about why these ones are notable? Please also note I am suggesting merging material to a list-article, where readers get more value because comparisons are possible. If there is very little info in each article why would you oppose having it all covered in one article? --doncram 23:39, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason to keep this list as separate from list of exoplanets and list of potentially habitable exoplanets. This would be a list of potentially rocky exoplanets, but determining whether a planet is actually rocky or not is extremely difficult and essentially none of the planets listed here has been confirmed as such.

  • Keep per original AfD, interesting, and well-referenced. This list is separate from the others nom mentions because it is limited to 50 lightyears, as opposed to the others which have no limit. This list title is also well-constrained and is mutually exclusive from List of exoplanets, which contains confirmed exoplanets. I see no reason to #R or delete, but if the closing decision is to do either, prefer #R to save 5 years of edit history.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  12:20, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I have to agree with Tom.Reding on this one, the article has improved since nomination and it is well cited. Also note that the PHL/HEC RfC closed saying that PHL/HEC is not a violation of WP:SELFPUB which allows more citations to be added. As for "determining whether a planet is actually rocky or not is extremely difficult and essentially none of the planets listed here has been confirmed as such." is simply false, all that is needed is a Mass and radius value, or if only a radius value is provided if its under <1.6 R it is likely rocky.[1] Davidbuddy9 Talk  05:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly silly, PROD is only used when it's uncontested, that's what it's for. For everything else, there's AfD. If you think the scope of PROD should be changed, then you're more than welcome to start an RfC at Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion, but what you used PROD for here is and has always been outside of the scope of its purpose. More to the point, the PROD you restored was not without explanation. You may not think it's a good reason, but that's irrelevant; it was contested, thus you cannot re-PROD the article. - Aoidh (talk) 04:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Davey2010, my thought is that in a case like this where the actor is known for one role and won't pass notability requirements for an individual article but still has some likelihood of being searched for, that it's more useful to send searchers to a section for that role (which can integrate quarter of a sentence regarding the actor's past) if possible. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 06:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article fails the criteria of both WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. Despite the keep arguments above, being "more notable than someone else" and "will be notable soon" are not compelling reasons to keep an article on Wikipedia. The article's subject does not meet any criteria of WP:NACTOR, which requires significant roles in multiple films or programs, and the subject does not meet that criteria. The article's subject also fails to meet WP:GNG, especially when viewed through the lens of WP:AUD. Most of the independent sources discuss the character and the show the character is on, as opposed to the actress portraying the character. - Aoidh (talk) 11:47, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which reasons? Comments adding nothing but a statement of support to a prior comment add little to the discussion. Is it that she "might soon" meet the notability criteria? Or that she's "more notable" than other people might be? - Aoidh (talk) 06:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - She clearly passes WP:GNG, even though she clearly fails WP:ENT, so on balance I would lean slightly towards a keep. anemoneprojectors 21:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete - actually having read some of the other comments, I realise she fails WP:GNG as the sources are discussing the character rather than the actress. If she passes GNG and ENT in the future, the article can be written then. anemoneprojectors 09:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete as per Aoidh and Nizolan; most of the coverage indeed seems to be focused on the character she portrays, rather than her as a person. Whether she will be notable in the future is just not enough to keep an article. GABHello! 23:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, just not notable enough as an actress; can be mentioned in the TV series article as to portrayal of the character (the fourth one to do so). Kierzek (talk) 01:33, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to EastEnders for now as the article is still questionable for solid independent notability, had the character work been longer, I would've considered keeping. Not enough to convince me for deleting but perhaps not for keeping either. SwisterTwister talk 22:39, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is an article of an actress in a highly successful TV programme both in its home country and overseas. The actress is currently a regular one and will most likely have additional roles should her main one end. How can she not be notable? Cexycy (talk) 00:25, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Because she doesn't meet any of the notability criteria. "Most likely will" be notable in the future does not create notability for her now, and there are no reliable sources that support this being a standalone article. You ask how can she not be notable, but you haven't said how she could be. What notability criteria does she meet? She doesn't meet WP:NACTOR, so what makes her notable, exactly?' - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
She is connected with a very highly popular TV show. How this that not notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cexycy (talkcontribs)
The show is popular, the character is popular, the people who played her character before became popular, she is not..I think its a basic idea people who write articles on this are not getting...she may become popular and notable, but not now..we only add biogrpahies of people once they become popular, not before it,,, we are not a crystal ball--Stemoc 05:14, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's also the fact that notability is not inherited. Just because she's involved with something notable does not mean she herself is automatically notable. - Aoidh (talk) 13:12, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – thus far, she has only had a significant role in one show (EastEnders). As notable as that show is, having only one substantial role in one's career thus far is not enough notability for an actor for Wikipedia (the other credit is a single episode guest actor, which counts for very little in notability terms). If she follows the usual career trajectory for someone in her position, she'll likely meet the criteria sooner or later, but as of right now it is WP:TOOSOON. SJK (talk) 07:39, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the character if WP:TOOSOON , same as previous actress Brittany Papple, keeping useful edit history. But possibly keep, for media coverage and WP:NACTOR #2, "large fan base". In any case, certainly not "delete". -- IamNotU (talk) 18:46, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any sources that show that she has a large fan base? - Aoidh (talk) 21:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It depends how you look at it, I suppose, and how you define "fan". One should not underestimate the importance of EastEnders to British culture! It seems there are plenty of sources covering her already. Whether that does or doesn't translate as "notability" for her, is kind of a judgement call. If an actor has a significant role in a hugely popular show, an argument that they don't inherit any notability from that is a bit dubious. I guess one way to look at it is, if they wrote her out of the show tomorrow, and she never worked in the business again, would she be considered to have been a notable actress? Probably not. But if she continues in the role for a while, probably so. Where that threshold is, is somewhat arbitrary. On the other hand, it's not unlikely that quite a large number of people might want to look up information about her, and think it's strange that Wikipedia doesn't have any. I don't have a strong opinion about it, other than to not do a simple delete right now. If the article isn't a keeper at the moment, there's certainly enough notability to redirect and retain the history for future use. -- IamNotU (talk) 23:14, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's not arbitrary at all; you're arguing that they might soon become notable, not that they are now. Notability is not established by what might happen at some point, nor is notability inherited from some other article's notability, there's nothing dubious about that, that's just a fact on how notability works on Wikipedia. There's nothing arbitrary about the relevant notability guidelines; this individual does not meet any of them. None at all. You're saying that there are plenty of sources covering her, but none of them muster the notability required to meet WP:GNG. Sources about a character that mention the actress in passing are not sufficient. You claimed that she meets WP:NACTOR #2, so again, do you have any sources backing up that claim? If she meets a notability criteria in any way I'd rather that be known than the article deleted because we don't have the full picture, and while I don't think she does meet WP:NACTOR #2, maybe you're aware of some sources that I haven't come across. - Aoidh (talk) 23:27, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't put words in my mouth. I didn't make any "claims" or "arguments" to keep the article, did I? I !voted to blank and redirect. But if the consensus somehow goes towards "keep", due to the popularity of the show, I'm not interested in trying to block it. Like it or not, an actor receives a certain amount of notability, for playing a significant role in a notable show. If Tilly Keeper instead of playing the fourth incarnation of Louise Mitchell for thirteen episodes, had played the thirteeth incarnation of The Doctor for four episodes, you can be sure she'd have a Wikipedia article, no matter what the guidelines say. -- IamNotU (talk) 03:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't put any words in your mouth, you said "But possibly keep, for media coverage and WP:NACTOR #2" and I asked if you had anything to back up that claim, not as an accusation but because if it does meet WP:NACTOR #2 and nobody has considered it, that needs to be known. Arguing that notability is inherited, that she might soon become notable, and that other actors have articles are not compelling reasons to use in deletion discussions because they ignore the most important fact: this article does not meet any notability standard. You can argue all day that "an actor receives a certain amount of notability, for playing a significant role in a notable show" but if you don't have the sources or any evidence to back up those claims, it obviously isn't true in this instance. - Aoidh (talk) 14:22, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize if I haven't been clear. I don't "claim" that she meets WP:NACTOR #2, nor have I argued that the article should be kept, and I don't understand why you keep insisting that I have. In the case that the subject is found not to have adequate notability for a dedicated article (which is the most likely outcome), I think it should be blanked and redirected to the main article. There are no notability requirements for that, and it seems obvious that it would be in the best interests of Wikipedia in this case - see also the comments from Hydronium Hydroxide and SwisterTwister. Several people have !voted to "keep". It's not impossible for an actor to be considered notable for a single role. If someone can make a reasonable argument based on the fan base, I would not oppose it. AfD outcomes are decided by consensus and common sense, taking the guidelines into consideration. The guidelines are meant to reflect consensus, not to dictate it. I am simply not interested in making arguments either for or against keeping; only against a straight delete of the page and its history, with no redirect. I hope that's not a problem, and we can drop this discussion. Thanks. -- IamNotU (talk) 16:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Even after the massive cleanup this article needs, all that remains are unreliable and primary sources—we need secondary sources that actually discuss the topic in depth. The offline sources aren't used to make more than passing reference to the actual contents of the magazine. The topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?)

@Mark viking, SwisterTwister, and Soetermans, ping re: redirection czar 15:28, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've noted your assertion, but the list has many red links, web links, and no links for entries. The talk page, e.g., Talk:List of video game magazines#Should blogs be in here?, shows that "list only contains notable publications" hasn't yet been established. I and NinjaRobotPirate have proposed sources sufficient for verifiability of basic facts in the list entry. Given this, it is safer to redirect to the list, and list inclusion criteria can eventually be decided later. --Mark viking (talk) 16:36, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But that's how most lists on Wikipedia work—either the entries need to be individually notable for their own articles or have some sourcing to warrant their inclusion (otherwise the list is indiscriminate). The list's lack of maintenance isn't a reason to add more junk without sources to it. I just cleaned up a handful of sources that are clearly recent, non-notable blogs and new magazines without credibility and anyone else is welcome to do the same. The only redlinks that remain are for non-English outlets, which are generally the last to get articles. czar 17:19, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your list inclusion criteria are thus inconsistent. There is no indication of notability for those red links, the "reference" for, e.g, BGamer is just the link to main site itself. Whereas at least for this magazine, NinjaRobotPirate and I have shown some secondary references. Either the poorly referenced red link crap needs to get properly referenced or deleted or we decide to allow non-notable entries, but with secondary references verifying the list entry information. I'd be happy for the list to conform to WP:SAL so that only entries with articles are on the list and thus delete in this case. But if we want to include "promissory, hopefully an article could be written on this someday but I have no sourcing to back it up" entries, then this magazine has no less claim to a list entry than the redlinked others. --Mark viking (talk) 18:10, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's not my inclusion criteria and it's not strict. The question is what source are we using to warrant adding this item to the list. I'm fine with removing the redlinks from that list—it's more likely than not that the list just hasn't been maintained. (I would also say that there is a difference between we-looked-but-haven't-found-sourcing and sourcing-might-exist-but-we-haven't-checked.) Anyway, I think we're in agreement. czar 18:38, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I realize my reply came off as a bit aggressive. I think we are in agreement, too. --Mark viking (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of video game magazines as it seems like the partial coverage from the likes of HorrorNews.Net and DreadCentral.com is enough to sustain a somewhat brief description of the magazine and its activities without going into details. A full page isn't warranted while a section of a few sentences or such seems like a good idea. I wouldn't object to a straight up deletion, to be honest, but I would prefer retaining the kernel of properly cited information somewhere rather than nowhere. As well, redirects just plain are cheap. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 11:36, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@CoffeeWithMarkets, what do you make of the above discussion about that list's inclusion criteria? czar 14:05, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree in general that something shouldn't be on such a list without some kind of solid sourcing to rely on. However, I feel like the aforementioned HorrorNews.Net and DreadCentral.com are both reasonable enough to cite if all that would be on the list is something like two sentences. I've seen both websites used as sources many times on various pages. And like I said, I wouldn't think that outright deletion is inherently a bad idea either. I just would prefer otherwise.

Completely fails notability, just an extra with no award nominations working on a television soap..Its not about them getting famous "one day" (the reason given for removing PROD), its about them fulfilling "OUR" notability criteria and in this case, its WP:TOOSOON..

  • Comment - I thought it was worth mentioning that Reilly is not an extra in EastEnders but one of the ensemble cast, and his role is of a main character. Extras are the non-speaking roles in the background of scenes. Not to mention that EastEnders is one of the biggest TV shows in the UK. Also, there are currently 14,500 Gnews results for "Ted Reilly" (11,500 if you add the word actor). AnemoneProjectors 20:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Extra, not background extra..usually extra's appear on episodes with one line or one camera view usually playing a supporting role..all his roles were just that..there is extras and then there is a 'guest role' and then there is a 'recurring' role...again, apart from NACTOR, TOOSOON also applies..give him 2 more seasons on the show and then maybe add him..its sad that we delete articles like this if this guy did the exact same thing on an American cable show but we somehow keep for British shows..--Stemoc 05:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    He may have had guest roles in other series but he's still not an extra in EastEnders (Tracey (EastEnders) is an extra, this is a main character, though sadly we don't know how long the contract is that Reilly has signed), and EastEnders doesn't have seasons, it just continues without any breaks, averaging 208 episodes a year. Note that I'm not arguing against deletion, just setting the record straight. AnemoneProjectors 06:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article was previously nominated for deletion in 2008. I believe that this person is not notable enough for Wikipedia. Although he may be a campaigner for changes to road design and has been quoted in several news outlets in recent years, I cannot see from this article and other searches why is views are especially notable as he does not appear to be a traffic planner or had direct influence on shared spaces.

  • Keep  Nominator wants the "views" of the topic to be "especially notable", which is a not a policy-based notability argument.  The first AfD the nominator didn't get a single editor to support his/her position.  I found the references needed to satisfy WP:GNG using the first page of searching using WP:BEFORE at Google news (BBC News, The Guardian, Daily Mail).  These references postdate the previous AfD, so longevity of attention to the topic over time is also shown at Google news.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:12, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I am the nominator for the first AfD. I reviewed the resources currently listed in the article and do not find them to meet WP:BASIC. I consider coverage of Cassini in the referenced secondary sources to be trivial. I did search and could not additional secondary sources that would meet notability. I do not consider Cassini as meeting WP:CREATIVE for his work in the field of transport. He is a public advocate for shared space; Hans Monderman and Ben Hamilton-Baillie meet this criteria for the subject that Cassini espouses. Although not a guideline for determining deletion or notability, the article reads more as an editorial in support of shared space than a biography and the article has been substantially self-edited by Cassini to read this way. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Being the first woman French secret agent makes her sufficiently notable even without the most unfortunate Rainbow Warrior incident (as they would say in Japan). Passes all three points of exemption in WP:BLP1E. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:30, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep see point 3 to WP:BLP1E: she is at least as well known in NZ as Hinckley is in the USA - in fact her notoriety in NZ is on a level with that of Mark David Chapman. The event for which she is notorious was described by the French government themselves as a terrorist act, before the truth came out about their involvement - and it took place in a country where any sort of terrorism is extremely rare - Mafart and Prieur are the only persons convicted of anything I'd call a terrorist act, in NZ, that I can recall. Daveosaurus (talk) 05:17, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the article seems fairly well sourced now which suggests to me that the subject has received significant coverage in a range of reliable sources. The coverage also seems to be spread over quite a period of time and is international (French, British, NZ and Australian) and includes both news sources and books etc. As such I'd say it meets WP:SIGCOV and therefore WP:GNG. I am a bit dubious about the "first woman French secret agent" claim though as I am sure there have been countless other French women that have been involved in any number of intelligence operations over the last few hundred years (either officially or unofficially). I imagine then that it must be a question of definitions. Anotherclown (talk) 10:47, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, Anotherclown... I think it's a matter of wording. I am sure there have been many French female spies before her, but she must have been the first woman in her type of position. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. I found only passing mentions in several sources, enough to show he existed and played a part in the Moroccan nationalist movement but not in-depth enough for WP:GNG: [54] [55] [56] [57]. On the other hand, the language and transliteration issues (and all the chaff provided by travel guides that mention the street named after him, under both spellings) may have prevented me from finding better sources. So if some turn up, I would be willing to change my mind. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:28, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- My guess is that America Pinks is mirroring WP, which takes us nowhere. The question is whether the content is reliable. Essentially he was a lecturer in a Muslim university. The article ends by saying that he appointed President of the supreme court. If correct such a person is surely notable. If streets are being named after him, again it may point to notability. I accept that the article may be guilty of poppy adulation, but the cure to that is editing, not deletion. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:23, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. In the current state of the article there is too little that is actually solidly verifiable, and almost all of the content looks like pure WP:OR. If the article were to be stubbified to something basic and satisfying WP:V, it's not clear what that something would actually be. Nsk92 (talk) 13:12, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Notability isn't inherited just by association. As referred to above, Serghini's involvement in nationalist causes brought him alongside different influential figures and has meant that he's tangentially mentioned by some reliable sources. Yet that appears to be pretty much it. Hunting around some more myself hasn't changed my mind. I agree with deleting the page. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 13:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page for a non-notable medical residency program. The list of "Pain fellows", as well as edit comments like "Added Dr. Riggs to the list" speaks to the fact that this page uses Wikipedia as web host for the program's participants rather than as a global encyclopedia. WP:BEFORE searches turn up little. This belongs on the UCLA web site, rather than here. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 17:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree with the assessment of HappyValleyEditor. In a world where every Kardashian gets their own Wikipedia entry, contributions made by those in medicine, arts, sciences, math and engineering languish in the dark. Wikipedia serves as an encyclopedia that acknowledges the importance of those in the fields not on TMZ every day. Sites like UCLA/VA Multicampus PM&R Residency Program are available through the world wide web around the world and are helpful for those who may be interested in doing a site visit or are interested in learning more about an important medical fields like physiatry. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Katomin (talkcontribs) Katomin (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • delete well i would flip that around HappyValley. I think the residency program is a good one but I don't know that any residency program could pass NOTABILITY. In any case this is not an encyclopedia article but a webhost page for the program, and we are not a webhost. So fails NOTABILITY and even if it didn't, it needs WP:TNT.

  • Delete. I'm pretty sure this is a reliable source, and I've seen other editors cite it. However, merely being a reliable source isn't good enough, and I don't see the coverage necessary to satisfy WP:NWEB. We already have a redirect at Den of Geek that points to the publisher, so I think deleting this without leaving a redirect would be fine.
