[edit] Institute of Sri Ram Chandra Consciousness

Fails notability test; there are not sufficient reliable secondary sources independent of the subject to afford an encyclopedic article that complies with WP:N, WP:V and WP:NPOV. Renee 22:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete as nominated. Renee 22:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

p.s. I was the original author of this article; can we get a speedy deletion? Renee 00:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE: The statement in this article and the next comment says it all. ISRC according to Renee (who is biased as a disciple of the SRCM (Chennai) is: "offering a form of Sahaj Marg meditation called Pranahuti Aided Meditation". with Sahaj Marg sending the reader to the Sahaj Marg Page.

THE TRUTH: ISRC is a schism from SRCM (Chennai), and they offer PAM (Pranahuti Aided Meditation), not SAHAJ Marg ("easy path" according to the founder) which is now a registered TRADE MARK (by SRCM (Chennai) meaning "Natural Path" in true SPIRITUAL fashion... These actions are defended by biased admins, also disciples of MASTERs, promoting such ways of LIFE. That's like saying that the protestants (schism) offer a form of "catholic" prayer called "(a different name)...IS THAT NOT OBVIOUS POV push, according to WISER ADMINS?..If there is a revival of these article (SRCM (Chennai), SRCM (Shahjahanpur), Institute of Ram Chandra Counsciousness (ISRC), ADMINS who practice MEDITATION with GURUS should disqualify themselves from MEDIATION on these sites and adding their POV to an already "POV-charged" and vitriolic legal, and even (alleged) violent, dispute... THIS SOUNDS MORE LIKE (DIVISIVE) RELIGION (and it is according to the FOUNDER in his autobiography), not a "UNITING" SPIRITUALITY... WELCOME to the REAL WORLD OF MEDITATION GROUPS...

I looked at the article and there no reason to delete. (no vandalism, not long discussions, not much disagreement that WIKI could surely address. There is much material available that is WIKI acceptable (like a researcher's book from "oxford", books from other individuals,) that Promoters of THE MISSION will not and did not read, so?? And, the article still has "encyclopedic" value in showing the "division" or Seperation of these two groups who are "registered". We can show that these are two seperate groups and schism of the Original Group, without getting into PROMOTING on side of the other, or "maligning".

SUGGESTION Appoint a NEUTRAL UNBIASED MEDIATOR, who would take out all the PR and controversial statements and references and leave the article PROTECTED until the court case is over and ONE SIDE has the NAME, (the claim to the MASTER(s), the registered Trade Mark, maybe even the MATERIAL REAL ESTATE (but that does not matter) and then we can "unlock" it for editors again...

"If WIKI can't deal with this small issue, without deleting it and simply "giving up" then WIKI is not a true "encyclopedia" and is swayed by Religious, Cabals (cross denominational) who have their members become "admins"...(suggested or ordered..to PROTECT THE RELIGION, the COUNTRY, the NATION)

NEUTRAL MEANS a mediator who is:

SECULAR... (not religious, meditator or disciple of a MASTER, at "arm's length" from Religions and the SRCM)
NOT A MEMBER OF THE "INDIA PROJECT" or other "Commercial", anti-FREEDOM OF SPEECH Groups interested in stifling "criticism" of Indian Products, businesses, and organizations.
Believes in the WIKI PROJECT, and its ability to deal with "controversial' and "complex" issues.
Has enough time to read and the ability to evaluate "neutrally", the material presented.
Is able to stand "disagreement" and not so quick to "eliminate" the opposition.

For those who think this is too long, Sorry... Don--don 22:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I have no opinion on the article, but I think that Don's ideas for a neutral party to mediate are of central importance. My experience with Renee, when she came to the Alice Bailey article under an RfC, is that while she claimed to be neutral, she was highly partisan from the beginning. So while I can not say that she is wrong here (I do not know), I can say her claims of neutrality can not be trusted. Kwork 16:03, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I want to add something about the vote of Jamesd1 (below) to 'delete'. If you take a look at his contributions since he started editing on Wikipedia about six months ago, you will see that from the time he began editing up until his 'delete' vote here, he has been a single purpose editor; editing only the Alice Bailey article. With that in mind, it is difficult for me to see what knowledge Jamesd1 could have of Sri Ram Chandra Consciousness in general, or the article about it in particular. On the other hand, considering the enormous help Renee gave to Jamesd1 in his arguments with me about the Alice Bailey article, it is hard not to view his vote here as a pay-back for her help there. Out of fairness, I think he should remove his vote. Kwork 16:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

We don't salt titles unless they're being chronically recreated and there's a clear community consensus against them. If this is recreated, the new article is speediable as a recreation of deleted material unless the problems brought up here are addressed in the new article. The avenue for appeal is the talk page of the administrator who closes this discussion, or deletion review.--Chaser - T 19:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. So if someone recreates the page with the same name, does it undergo some sort of review or is it just made? Also, since those names of deleted pages are on our watchpages, if they re-appear will they appear on our watchpage again, or how do we know if someone has recreated it beyond a search every day?

[edit] Solo One Graffiti Artist

This is a good-faith nomination, that I'm bringing here in order to form a concensus on notability. I don't think this particular arist is notable, although the 'crew' he works for might be. Apparently, He has appeared in the national and local press, most recently on the cover of the Telegraph, and has been interviewed by hip-hop DJ and presenter Tim Westwood on BBC Radio 1 and in radio programmes around the world. While this would make him notable, I certainly don't remember seeing him on the front page of the Telegraph (A major, slightly right-wing UK Newspaper), so I'm a bit iffy about this. Comments? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 00:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete. I found the entry interesting but Wiki demands verifiable and reliable sources. There are no sources provided, not to mention the required secondary sources. With some sources it might be worth keeping but it's weak. Renee 02:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletions. —David Eppstein 02:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete without prejudice to re-creation if sourced. I tried a NewsBank (UK newpaper archive) search - one ref to an exhibition. Google finds a couple of e-magazine interviews, but it's mostly forums and blogs. I suspect WP:COI anyway - not that that is reason per se for deletion - but once everything unsourced and unverifiable goes, there's not much to assert notability. Gordonofcartoon 03:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete per Gordonofcartoon, - Modernist 15:40, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete - The Irish Times (August 7, 2000) Anti-GM message is writ large by artists. by Elaine Keogh mentions "In the middle of it all is a mutant, the work of Solo One, a.k.a. Boyd Hill from Kilburn, London." I could not find any other reliable source material to use in the article. -- Jreferee T/C 15:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete nothing really asserts notability. By the by, there are some very good, rightly renowned graffiti artists. Sadly, Wikipedia seems to allow almost anyone who has sprayed a wall to have an article - which kinds of downs the rest. You might look into it... Marcus22 20:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The result was Delete. Although the Keep !voters put forward a strong argument that the article was better-sourced than most articles at this time, there was the problem that all the sources are primary sources (referring directly to songs, poetry etc.) and therefore constitute original research. I considered a merge and redirect, but there is already a lengthy section at Kent_State_shootings#Artistic_tributes. (Note: This closure does not prejudice re-creation, provided that reliable secondary published sources are cited.) Walton^One 14:22, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kent State shootings in popular culture

A cluttered trivial list of mentions isn't notable. This is yet another "let's move the information to make the main article smaller". Condense! Don't just move the content if you don't have to. RobJ1981 23:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete. and tag main article section to be condensed. Mystache 00:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete wp:trivia, most notable influences should be mentioned in main article--Victor falk 00:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep I was prepared to hate this article, expecting little more than "Four Dead in Ohio" and a bunch of movie quotes. However, this actually is well sourced. This event doesn't provoke the emotion now that it did 37 years ago, but it inspired a lot of ballads in the 70s. Mandsford 00:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment I dont' know what's going on, but the whole page is back in the main article. Where it belongs, in my opinion. MarkBul 00:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Works for me... Mandsford 01:32, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep or merge referenced material. Subject has had an influence on popular culture and it is definitely encyclopedic to note that influence. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Not the worst IPC article, but as this is already in Kent State shootings there is no use in having a separate article, and this doesn't have to be kept as it was always in the main article's edit history, so GDFL isn't a problem here. Crazysuit 02:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Already merged where it should be. Renee 02:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Merge into Kent State shootings or Delete.--LAZY 1L 04:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC) sockpuppet GRBerry 03:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep As is said above even by those wishing delete, not a particularly bad article of its sort. This sort of topic is notable: the cultural ramifications of major political events generally are.And it's sourced. and notability is permanent.DGG (talk) 05:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete as a trivia dump. The KSS is one subject where I can imagine there might be published articles about its presentation in pop culture, but the article doesn't cite any. Gazpacho 07:11, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

added one. This is also discussed in most of the several dozen books about the events. DGG (talk) 20:06, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep per Mandsford , DGG, et al. Sourced, not overly POV. Needs more in-line cites. Bearian 16:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete Topic by itself is not notable for an article, most of the references in the list are minor and the major things can be widdled and put on the main page. Again, we are not debating whether the shootings are notable, that's a given and it's has it's own article. But a spinoff of trivial mentions, no. This violates WP:NOT in several areas, total trivia. Dannycali 20:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete all %SUBJECT% in popular culture lists, they are nothing but trivia and violate the five pillars of Wikipedia as well. Burntsauce 21:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dielectric wireless receiver

Also Wireless dielectric receiver.

This appears to be a completely new scientific invention, or relatively new and untested concept [1] [2]. As such, it likely falls well short on the WP:NOR guideline. I cannot find a guideline, though it has to exist somewhere, that says that Wikipedia is not for new concepts which are just being submitted to a scientific journal. The Evil Spartan 23:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep. This article is well sourced by peer-reviewed journals, like this. I agree that new inventions and advertising should stay out of Wiki, but if this item has been around long enough to appear in peer-reviewed journals I think it's worth keeping Wiki on the cutting edge. Renee 02:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Weak Delete I understand that this has appeared in peer-reviewed journals, but I feel that including this still verges on crystal ballery, and steering clear might not be a bad idea until it garners some more mainstream acceptance. Rackabello 05:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep Not original research, published in a few articles in good peer reviewed journals. That should be the basis for a decision to keep or delete, not the opinions of Wikipedia editors as to whether it will be important in the future, or whether radios are actually built using it. Frome readin g the Wikipedia article, it seems to be saying that opto-isolation (a well established technique for isolating electronic circuits) could be used to keep high voltage electromagnetic pulses from getting into radios and destroying the transistors. Edison 16:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete Everything proposed in a journal article is not notable. There needs to be some evidence that others than the authors of the papers think it notable. DGG (talk) 20:08, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. The topic of electromagnetic weapons is notable, as evidenced by the first referenced article in IEEE Spectrum, which only discusses the field generally and not the ADNERF receiver being described in this article. The ADNERF proposal is contained in one conference paper and one journal paper, both by the same authors. There is no third-party commentary on the importance or workability of ADNERF, so I'm voting Delete. (Journal publication of the idea just implies that the experiments were good and the calculations correct, not that the idea is important or ready for general use). The creator of the WP article is named Ayazi, which is the same as one of the paper authors, so there seems to be a conflict of interest. EdJohnston 03:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep Explains a valid concept, well laid out and cited. Mbisanz 19:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete per DGG & per nom. Literally millions of trial balloons for inventions, products, or other things exist, they're not all notable. Carlossuarez46 20:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Non-notable. Only claim to fame is his apparent appearance as a talking head in a single documentary. But, although he's listed in the cast, his name doesn't even come up in the plot description at http://www.answers.com/topic/the-one-percent?cat=entertainment.

[edit] Mr Wink and Mr Feeb

Contested prod. Article is about a self-admitted amateur film, with no assertion of notability and even fewer sources. While it is not an all-powerful factor, the fact that a Google search for the title (with quotes) returns 0 results, and without quotes returns few relevant results, shows that this is not well known. The article states that the films are popular on YouTube, where a search reveals that both have been viewed less than 160 times, and no other results were found. I'm all for cleaning up articles, but I don't think this will ever meet the requirements for inclusion on Wikipedia. Ale_Jrb^talk 22:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silent clock

Non-notable trivial detail about the TV show "24". The sources cited are not independent and do not even mention this "silent clock" as far as I can tell. The article fails WP:N, WP:NOR and WP:V. Contested PROD. Sandstein 22:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete per above. I would say merge, but there is nothing non-trivial or verifiable that I could find, which could be included in the 24 main article. Rackabello 23:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Truly frightening that anyone would even notice this. It does not, however, violate WP:V ... you, too, could obsessive-compulsively monitor the clock ticks by the miracle of videotape. Kww 00:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inner family archetypes

The subject of this article comes from the self-help book Why We Do What We Do: Four Pathways to Your Authentic Self.

[edit] Bitterman

Bitterman is just a 3-5 window comic that appears in an occaisional section in MAD. I'm not exactly sure this is notable enough. Cheers,Je t Lover (Report a mistake) 22:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge with MAD Magazine, I think, or delete entirely. The article's assertion that it's an occasional feature seems to militate against its being considered as notable on its own. Accounting4Taste 00:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Mandsford (below) is absolutely right; I misread the article, it's a regular feature but, also as per Mandsford, I think the contributors themselves are notable but not necessarily the features. Accounting4Taste 04:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge per 4Taste. I think the article indicates that it's a regular feature rather than an occasional one. Haven't read MAD in awhile, but I'm surprised that the author isn't listed, since articles have been written about Martin, Berg, Jaffee, Aragones. etc. Mandsford 00:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment as a courtesy, it's usual to notify people when articles are listed for speedy or AfD. I notice that neither the originator, nor the person who claims he's played professionally have been notified of this AfD (nor, in the case of the originator, of the speedy tag that was placed). Note to closing admin - please ensure in particular that the editor who claimed Washington has played professionally has been warned and had some time to respond. --Dweller 23:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep, or at least do not speedily delete. The article claims he plays for a notable football club; that's an assertion of notability. I'll be looking into this a bit more; give me and the user who removed the prod template a few hours. Of course, if the guy is really non-notable, I will not object to the article's deletion. --Ag ü eybaná 23:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment — I found this, which, although not a third-party source, proves that he played in a game. Therefore, he meets the notability criteria. I will be looking for more sources. Please reconsider your comments, guys. --Ag ü eybaná 23:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- See [5]. He played in a game against the Lincoln Moorlands Railway F.C.. Therefore, he satisfies the criteria, which say that for a footballer to be considered notable, he must have played in a fully professional league, which he has done. --Ag ü eybaná 00:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

- Comment The Northern Counties East is not a fully professional league ChrisTheDude 07:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete The only sources I can find show him to have played for A.F.C. Emley, which would discount him from the criteria shown at WP:SPORT (which is a proposed guideline and not yet ratified) and also WP:BIO in that he hasn't been shown to play for a club in a fully professional league. He was signed to Huddersfield (a team that does meet the criteria) but only as a trainee [6] and never played a game for them in The Football League (the three leagues that comprise the lower echelons of professional football in England). Wakefield have also never played in a fully professional league. As a side note, the Northern Counties East Football League is a non-professional league and stands at level 10 of the English football league system which is 6 levels below the professional leagues. Nanonic 00:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict with Nanonic) Delete WP:SPORT is a proposed guideline, a work-in-progress, and cannot be used at this time to support notability imo, Agüeybaná. WP:BIO is the relevant one here and the subject must have played in a fully professional league. Your source shows that he played for Emley F.C., who do not play in a fully-professional league. The article does state that he played for Huddersfield Town who do play in a fully-professional league, but on checking with soccerbase[7], he was there for nine months as a trainee and made no first-team appearances. Regretfully, as he has made no appearances in a fully professional league WP:BIO, I go for delete. --Malcolmxl5 00:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete no matches ever played at a professional level, and no other claim to notability that I can find. Contrary to what Agüeybaná states above, the Northern Counties East League is not a professional league, as kinda given away by the fact that there's a team in it called Yorkshire Amateur......

Delete. I looked numerous places to verify notability as a poet, and while he has published and has even been quoted in a book, he doesn't seem close to reaching WP:BIO. --Dhartung | Talk 22:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

This is Robert M. Hensel and I would like to have a chance to defend myself if I may. First of all, I am not in the Guinness Book and Ripley's for the most wheelies in a wheelchair rather for the longest non stop wheelie in a wheelchair traveling 6.178 miles. Far as me being a poet, I have be widely published in print and on the internet with over 900 publications. I have been chosen to be published in The Dictionary of International Biography Which is published through The International Biographical Centre, of Cambridge, England. I am also going to be published in The international Dictionary of experts and Expertees through The American Biographical Institute. Their are lesser notable people than I that have pages within this site. For those who still feel that I am unworthy to be included, I ask for please refer to the following website:

Keep as a stub. The Wheelie world record is not notable enough for me, but the publication of poetry seems to be sufficient, and is demonstrated in at least one reference. I believe that Wheelierecord (talk · contribs) is Mr. Hensel or someone closely associated with him; please see WP:COI. The longer article at Robert M. Hensel should be turned into a redirect. Shalom ^Hello 17:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete If this isn't a category, it might as well be. That there are individual articles about many of the Sonic characters is nauseating (granted, some of the blue links go to articles such as Other characters in Sonic the Hedgehog). Mandsford 00:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Weak Keep. I can see some little elementary school kid first learning how to use library resources being thrilled upon coming across this. It does give a complete listing and would be a shame to go to waste. Renee 13:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

comment How is that addressing the problems. Wikipedia doesn't keep articles just because an 11 year old might find them useful. notability and verifiability are the top priority. DurinsBane87 22:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Passes WP:SAL so its a valid list. ~~The characters are just waiting for a motivated editor to make pages for them.~~ Viperix 00:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment And why would they make a page for any of those characters if the pages would just get deleted for being unotable, keeping the page for a list of Red links isn't a valid reason. DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 12:13, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
  - I just re-checked and none of the links are red, in my opinion they all link to where they should go. and your right, no new pages need be made. Of course the more notable characters deserve their own pages and seem to already have them. Suggesting that none of the characters in sonic are notable would be absurd. This article still passes SAL, is encyclopedic, and (for once) not written in a in-universe style. Viperix 01:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep I agree with Viperix and Renee. By the way I made the article and it has been on the board for 2 years running (plus it was my first ever edit). This list can be used for reference and a quick shortcut for users who are researching up on the characters and need an easy way to locate the articles without having to go on complicated searches. I stand by what I said and support all Keeps. Evilgidgit 13:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
keep I say this is a decent and useful page should someone ever want to have a quick check on all the charicters instead of going from one page to another which saves time. Behellmorph 10:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Burger King menu items

It's baaaaack! we deleted this (or something very much like it) in February, but here it is again. Some of the content may be salvageable but for the love of Jimbo, do we really need an article listing all the menu items you can buy at BK? Fails WP:NOT#INFO and probably WP:NOR, because as far as this article makes out no reliable sources have talked about any of the menu items in detail, other than to reprint press releases. If all this is sourced from the BK website (which it probably is) then we can simply link it. If it's not listed on the BK website then the whole thing should go as random information. And the sources? All originate from press releases by the look of it. None independent. Guy (Help!) 21:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Just a couple of reference notes about this article:

This is not the same article that was deleted before. The original article was simply a list of the products sold by Burger King and was called Burger King menu items; this article was, until 20 September 2007, called Burger King products and, while containing much of that list, also contains significantly more information than the original. The Burger King products article was moved to the old title by Andrew in order to merge histories per an AN request.
Both articles were, for the most part, sourced from the Burger King article's "Product" section dating to late 2006. They were separated from the main BK article when it past the 50 kb limit roughly November 30, 2006. Current size of the two articles is 34 kb for the Burger King article and 42 Kb for the Burger King menu items (formerly products).
The original article, Burger King menu items, was deleted as part of the AfD discussion, while the McDonald's version of the same article was kept.

I hope that this clarifies any confusion. - Jeremy (Jerem43 05:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)) (slightly adjusted per invitation, see talk-Andrew c ^[talk] 16:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC))

Delete per WP:NOT#INFO Tom Harrison ^Talk 21:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comments I don't see how this fails WP:NOT#INFO. Burger King is a decades old, internationally-known restaurant. Its food is consumed by millions of people. A detailed fork about said food seems reasonable to me. And I don't think you looked at all the sources very well. Is this NY Times article a press release? Zagalejo^^^ 21:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Here's the old AFD. (This really should be at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burger King menu items (second nomination), but it might be too complicated to change it now.) Zagalejo^^^ 21:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep. That's an awful lot of sources... • Lawrence Cohen 22:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

  - WP:DOSPAGWYA. Let's have more prose and fewer internal links, please. Your argument, in particular, means nothing without elaboration. Zagalejo^^^ 23:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
    - Two points, first ITSSOURCED was disputed, so much in fact, that the section about it was removed. Presence of sources strikes right at our notability guideline and the verifiability policy, both real policy-based arguments. Second, just putting a link to ATA is just as silly as just linking to a guideline without any explanation. I am tempted to direct you to WP:JUSTAPOLICY, but I won't. ;-) Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep Excellent article, well sourced. I don't detect any original research. Notability set by articles in New York Times, among others. Verifiability is set from the BK press releases. The deleter is confusing nobility with verifiability. Press releases determine verifiability not notability. This article should be used as a template for the McDonald's menu items article, that article is too list like and everything is in bold. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 23:39, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep Yeah, it looks like it's based on BK press releases. Keep, so that someobody can add the part that ISN'T on here... like how many calories and grams of fat are in each of the items on the menu, or how much of your recommended weekly allowance of just about anything can be had or exceeded by a Whopper (TM). The test of whether this is advertising is based on whether the unfavorable information is edited out. Mandsford 00:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Strong Delete, per Guy's nom. Honestly, crap like this needs purging and purging fast. For those who would rather keep such articles, I suggest you read WP:NOT. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 01:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Ugh, another vague WP:NOT argument. Without explaining how the article violates WP:NOT, it's impossible to have a proper discussion about it. Zagalejo^^^ 02:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep To address each of Guy's points:

WP:NOT#INFO - It is not a set of indiscriminate information, it details how a fast food company addresses issues like the ongoing obesity crisis in the US and elsewhere or issues a waste generation and disposal. It also does not seem meet any of the ten general criteria in WP:Not.
It shows how a company adapts when moving into new markets and address cultural differences between its home market and the areas it does business.
It shows how a company responds to its competition.
The sources include major industry magazines (Nation's Restaurant News), major news outlets (AP, USA Today and NY Times) and sites that deal with nutritional and health news. And yes, BK's corporate web pages and press releases. In short, all of the content is supported by multiple, independent sources
I did not do any original research, all the data and information was found through searches made on Google. The information was sourced via the results. Searches included Burger King Islam, Burger King nutrition and Burger King Asia. When sourcing, I tried to avoid BK sites.

Specifically, my counterpoints show that it meets the four standards of notability as stated in WP:NOTE:

There is significant coverage of the subject in the independent press;
The sources are reliable;
The sources are all secondary;
I generated none of the information, am not promoting the products, it is not structured as an ad (no peacock statements) and it is not a press release.

As I read the articles, all entries meet the WP:NPOV standard.

Jeremy (Jerem43 01:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC))

Strong Keep well sourced article for a major international corporation with regionalism within the markets it exists in and an article like this that is properly sourced illustrates those differences that one would miss in individual menu item articles. As an academic, and having visited these sites for research in my Gastronomy Masters degree program, I know that Jeremy's writing is not original research, but recitation of facts in his use of language. Press releases are an appropriate method for sourcing as, well it's from the company that the article is about, that's a primary source.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 02:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep It's baaaaack, and it's staying for good this time! A thoroughly-researched and well-documented article that provides ample reliable and verifiable sources to establish that this fork of a notable topic meets the Wikipedia:Notability standard. One would be hard pressed to find any aspect of WP:NOT that has anything to do with this article, other than as an excuse for deletion, though perhaps WP:IDONTLIKEIT was intended, and seems to be a far more accurate description of the nomination. By the way, where are the results for the original AfD? Furthermore, the Keep result of the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McDonald's menu items (2nd nomination), an almost exact duplicate in structure and content of this article, would seem to set a rather strong precedent for retention. Alansohn 03:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep: Well written and well sourced article. DCEdwards1966 04:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Merge into Burger King or Delete. --LAZY 1L 04:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep, quite notable. Everyking 05:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep. I voted to "delete" the last one, and I have no real regrets about doing so since that article was if I recall correctly, a mere list of products menu items without any discussion. A list of menu items is not an article. What we have here though is a much better article, putting Burger King's (which is a major restaurant chain) into context, describing history, dietary and health issues, preparation details, and notes about regional variations. This is now backed up by secondary sources in the article, including USA Today and Reuters, and per WP:N, such independent coverage establishes notability. Although press releases are primary sources, they are perfectly acceptable in an article about itself per WP:SELFPUB. Judging notability from the sources, notability is well-established, and since all the significant claims in the article are referenced, I see no WP:NOR or WP:V problems. Sources aside and making a subjective judgement of notability, I note that Burger King is one of the largest fast-food chains in the world, selling food is what they base their business on. Having an article about the food they sell is perfectly relevant as a side article to the main Burger King article, which has a greater focus on the corporation. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comments - this AfD seems to be a result of the WP:AN thread that I started here. I find this disappointing for several reasons. (1) I was aware that drawing attention to the articles in this manner might prompt a new AfD, but I was hoping that people would focus on the page history issues I had raised, not the AfD issues. (2) Guy failed to nominate McDonalds menu items for deletion, despite my comment in that AN thread: "It is silly to have one article of this type survive AfD and the other not. I personally believe both should be kept, but it is desirable to be consistent in cases like this." Carcharoth 10:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep - but move both this and McDonalds menu items (and other similar 'menu' articles) to a article named as 'products'. ie. McDonalds products and Burger King products, and focus on the cultural differences between countries, and the product history, rather than the current menu, and also include nutritional information where available (may be difficult). There is the potential for a very good article here, and the current state of the article is a step along the road towards that article. Carcharoth 09:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete obviously unencyclopedic and unnotable. Eusebeus 12:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete with fire. This is an encyclopedia, for Jimbo's sake. This article is not what encyclopedias are made of. WP:NOT, WP:OR, WP:RS for the process wonks who need a policy pointing at. ➔ This is REDVEЯS 12:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Well-sourced and thorough. It is worth the effort to develop good articles on business topics. AfDs of business articles do properly (in my view) need to take into account the quality of the writing and the choice of material to include in the article. This one clearly meets the standards that I would use. EdJohnston 13:36, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Well sourced from primary sources and press releases and thorough in the sense of detail in excess of what is appropriate in a general encycloapedia. We are mirroring BK's website content for no obvious purpose. Who is likely to look up bruger king menu items on Wikipedia rather than BK's website? Guy (Help!) 10:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Any reader of any of the articles listed at Special:Whatlinkshere/Burger_King_menu_items, for starters. Neier 10:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I must respond to Guy's assertions about the article: sources like The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, USA Today and The New York Times are not primary sources. These all are by definition reliable, secondary sources because the cited articles are not just reprints of press releases, but accompanied articles that help define the issue and put it in context of the way they affect the public and business world in a disinterested way - just like WP:IS requires. Also, according to WP:NOR primary sources can be used if (1) the primary source is only used to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is easily verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge, and (2) make no analytic, synthetic, interpretive, explanatory, or evaluative claims - exactly how the information gleaned from BK published data is used. In addition, with information on demographic targeting and controversies such as animal welfare and health, this is more than just a mirror of the BK website. Last time I looked at a BK menu page it did not use The Triple Whopper, a sandwich targeted at 18-34 year old males that has been cited by numerous groups as having high levels trans-fat, cholesterol and calories which helps to contribute to the ongoing obesity crisis in America as a descriptor of its products.

Jeremy (Jerem43 14:19, 22 September 2007 (UTC))

Keep for reasons detailed by several others already. Sorry but the vitriol coming out of (some of) the delete voters is simply pathetic. violet/riga (t) 10:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete - seems like a 'how-to start your own resurant menu' to me. Although the Resurant chain may be notable, what is notable about a resturant menu (ie. notability is not inherited)? (McD's menu should also get this too) Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 17:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep. I don't see any good reasons to delete. Most of the deletion reasons above are based on WP:NOT and subjective measurements of what an encyclopedia should be. There is nothing in WP:NOT that has anything to do with this article. Nothing. --- RockMFR 17:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep verifiable, harmless, people are interested in it. And before someone's violent kneejerk causes them to link to one of those WP:MINDLESSAFDINSULTS shortcuts, note that "harmless" and "interesting" arguments are only bad if they are being used to justify including problematic content. Verifiable content that doesn't harm anyone isn't problematic... Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. However, I feel our goal is to be as informative as possible to all our readers, not to just be a cheap Britannica knockoff with endless copyright flamewars. --W.marsh 20:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep and move +redirect I think it is encylcopedically written, and quite well at that too; the only unencylcopedicic thing might be the title. "Menu items" provokes people's anti-listcruft instincts. "Burger King menu products" would be better. That goes for MacDo too obviously.--Victor falk 20:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

This stub contains too little information about the company - just a definition and a link - and should be removed, since Wikipedia is not a phone book or dictionary For Lise 20:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete Though the edit history on the article shows that For Lise had difficulty figuring out what to do procedurally with this article, her instincts were absolutely correct as to deletion. There is no reason to have an article about this company-- that article as For Lise found it was nothing but spam and nothing can be done to make it into an encyclopedic article.

[edit] Nas' ninth studio album

No bias against constructing a real article under this album's real title when such is known, but for now this article has almost no real information, and what little is there is very much in the realm of WP:CRYSTAL. For now, with this little useful information availible, an aricle like this is IMHO not particularly useful either. TexasAndroid 20:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete Yeah, Released at a time according to himself without any real confirmations and not a lot of info.--JForget 00:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep - It may be released within the 3 month so it should be kept IMO. West Coast Ryda and Talk to Me 17:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep - I think it should be kept, as we could add more info about the album as we get it. I don't see the point in deleting it if we are just going to recreate it within afew weeks or so - keep it real - Real Compton G - Holla back 19:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep - Why should this be deleted? it's only speculation. Nas himself announced he would have an album out probably towards the end of this year. there are no statements of fact in this wikipedia entry. the only thing i can think of the fact that album is given the name "Rhymebook" on the main Nas page (which i think Nas hasn't named). Other than that, whats the deal? the info will change soon enough when things are more concrete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.38.85 (talk) 20:37, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Heh. You are arguing that totally that this entry violates WP:CRYSTAL, which was one of my original reasons for deletions. :) - TexasAndroid 20:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - U serious? if this is crystall ball then what 'bout "Before I Self Destruct" or Fabolous' fifth studio album and those? And their release time is a year away while this one is just about 2,3 month away. So what is the fact deal? West Coast Ryda and Talk to Me 10:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:OTHERSTUFF. And I'll look into those other links within the next few days and see if they deserve AFD as well. Thanks for pointing out other things that may deserve deletion. - TexasAndroid 18:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Before I Self Destruct has been confirmed to be released March 2008, and has sources. He already completed 12 tracks for the album. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 01:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that justifies keeping an entry for Before I Self Destruct...but I think I have to send Fabolous' fifth studio album into AFD, as that article's got pretty much the same problems as this article has now. --Andrewlp1991 16:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - actually before i self destruct doesent deserve deletion as the users has done a pretty hard work to get it as good as u may see them now. but the fabolous' article is pretty little. West Coast Ryda and Talk to Me 18:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete for now Until something is officially confirmed. An artist simply saying they're going to release an album is not enough. Wait until more information comes out. It's too crystal-bally as it stands. Spellcast 08:40, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete - it can be recreated when reliable sources actually exists -- Whpq 17:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep - Real sources do exist, and several have already been cited. What more do you need? Deleting this page is silly. User:dcAjn2319:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.52.224.72 (talk)

Delete - The only 'source' listed is Nas and we all know that he is unreliable with information on his own albums. It should be deleted until official word is given from the record label and title is given with more information. The information on the article now should only be on the Nas article.--Sosa 14:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete for now until there comes at least a true release date and confirmation from Def Jam Recordings. I, having edited this article before, now see this as reptition of stuff from the main Nas article. --Andrewlp1991 16:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete : 6
Keep :4

It has been voted that this page be deleted until official confirmation and information on the album has been verified and referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samil20 (talk • contribs) 05:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree this should be deleted for now. But Wikipedia is not a democracy. You can have 10 keep votes and 2 delete votes and a page could still end up deleted based on the arguments. Spellcast 11:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

comment - one whouldn't put up tally counters as per Afd etiquette. An admin will weight arguments put forth and close the issue as appropriate. -- Whpq 15:33, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Even coming from Nas this is just speculation. Nas has also talked about Lost Tapes 2, doing an all DJ Premier produced album, Nasdaq Dow Jones, working with Rakim, just to name a few. Point is just because Nas said it, it shouldn't be taken as fact. Deletion for now until more reliable information arrives. P.S. we all know that everytime Nas says its coming, its always pushed back 100% of the time.--Sosa 15:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norwegian Republican Alliance

Entirely non-notable quasi-political-party. Stood for election once, got 92 votes. Punkmorten 19:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep, registered political party, has participated in national elections. --Soman 19:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- It only entered in 1 out of 19 counties, so the nationwide part should be taken with many grains of salt. Being a "registered political party" is not in itself notable, you have to achieve something. Punkmorten 19:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  - My approach is a pragmatic one. This party is obvioulsy, by any standards, small. However, it did participate in the elections, and readers of wikipedia would encounter the party in the election results, and should be able to obtain info on which is the party that obtained the lowest number of votes. After all, wikipedia is not paper. --Soman 20:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Norway-related deletions. -- Yossiea ^(talk) 20:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep - all parties that have ever stood for a national election should be considered notable enough for Wikipedia, which is not paper. If someone needs objective information about a political party that doens't get much attention in the national press, Wikipedia should be the place. Also, the NRA is notable as the only party with abolishing the Norwegian monarchy as its main cause. 96T 21:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete non-notable by any reasonable standards -Revised to keep per the coverage in Adresseavisen newspaper. I do, believe that an AfD is not the correct place to make policy as 96T seems to want, however. Bigdaddy1981 21:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Make policy? What I said was basically that a party running for a national election should be considered notable. Are there any policies against this? 96T 21:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, see Iain99's comment below. The act of standing for an election does not immediately confer notability to a party. Bigdaddy1981 23:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Anyone with a bit of money to throw away on lost deposits can stand in a national election and get 94 votes - it doesn't necessarily confer notability. Notability requires multiple, independent sources, without which a verifiable article cannot be written. Google turns up 483 hits, including Wikipedia and its mirrors, but Google News turns up nowt, so it doesn't look promising, but I'll reserve judgement since I don't speak Norwegian, so can't assess the sources Google does come up with. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 22:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- No wonder they're not mentioned on Google News, as it searches through English-language articles only. Obviously, a non-parliamentary Norwegian party is of no interest to the English-language press. (There aren't that many results for Norway's largest party either.) But Wikipedia's interests have always been and will always be more international than those of the English-language press. 96T 13:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  - Ah, fair point - I wasn't sure whether they did non-English language press or not. Obviously I realise that a minor Norwegian party wouldn't expect to get much coverage outside Norway. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 14:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Additional thought If there are few or no sources, and all that can be said objectively about the party is that it stood in an election and got few votes, then it might be better to merge this and several other of these parties into something like Minor political parties in Norway rather than have numerous perma-stubs. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 22:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  - Comment i would urge not to initiate meta-articles on minor parties. It was introduced in swedish wiki, and the result has been a mess, with little encyclopediatic value. What is the problem with having a short article on NRA, if the same lines are copied into a meta article anyway? The only difference is that categorizations and interwikis gets messed up if the merge is pushed through. It's important to understand that notability is guideline, intended to safeguard the quality and integrity of wikipedia, rather than an iron law. The notability guideline is intended to weed out spoofs, hoaxes, purely web-based phenomena and bad jokes, not limit spread of encyclopediatic information (WP:PAPER). --Soman 23:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment I had to agree with you Balderdash, this party had less then 100 votes in a national election, so it is hardly notable, so I do agree that a minor political party page for Norway may be needed.--JForget 00:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep all political parties should be considered notable--even one as small as this. Small size does not necessarily correspond to unimportance, and the only way to avoid bias is to include them all, as long as they have a real existence. DGG (talk) 05:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

    - Reply to DGG You're absolutely right that small size doesn't necessarily correspond to unimportance; however, complete lack of coverage in the press or other independent sources probably would, so I suggest that should be the bar, as it is to most subjects. However, that doesn't seem to be the case here. Iain99^{Balderdash and piffle} 14:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment Here and here are two articles on the party and its leader in the major newspaper Adresseavisen. --96T, 21 September 2007

Adresseavisen is the name of the newspaper - I agree, however, that the anon comment above suggests notability. Bigdaddy1981 18:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Generally would agree that any political party that actually stands in elections would be notable as they can be verifiable from the election results. In this particular case the sources added to the article establish notability anyway. Davewild 16:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep and overcome any copyright issues. I looked at three sources [13], [14] and [15] that seem completely independent; a couple of the other citations didn't seem to offer archival material and there was one suspicious one (Basel) that seemed to be a pay-to-exhibit show.

Weak delete I searched in three languages and I don't see that any reliable source (e.g. a specialised magazine, a newspaper, or a book) has written more than a single paragraph about the guy; basically, there's not enough independent discussion of him or his work right now to write an encyclopedia article.

U-Ram Choe is exhibiting at the Liverpool Biennale 2008 and the Asian Art Triennale in Manchester 2008. The Mori Art Museum published a catalog of his work in 2006. In 2007 his art brokes records in the Christie's auction for Asian Contemporary Art. Since he is Korean, Engish his name is sometimes mis-spelled "Choe U-Ram", "Choe Uram" and "Uram Choe". The Crow Collection of Asian Art featured him in Dallas Texas Summer 2007- that was his first US show in an institution where English is the primary language. His reviews are primarily in Korean, Chinese and Japanese.

The Mientka Duo has not received enough coverage in reliable sources that are independent of Mientka Duo or its members to develop an attributable article on the topic. -- Jreferee t/c 17:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment Since I don't speak or read French, my comment is a comment, but they appear to have won an award at Concours International De Musique De Chambre, which turns up many sources; that would appear to meet #8 at Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles Yngvarr (t) (c) 18:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep per this. The duo have performed nationally and internationally. Also, I believe the award in the comment above is quite notable in the field of chamber music. There's also this. The duo, as Nova Mientka, were featured in an Emmy-nominated documentary on PBS.--Sethacus 18:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete In order to be notable one of the requirements is multiple non-trivial sources. 1 is not multiple.

  - Comment They satisfy at least two: Touring and Criteria #12: Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network. The award, as I stated, is quite notable in their field. These all come from 3 different sources. There's also evidence to indicate that their Washington, D.C. concert was broadcast on NPR, from a fourth source. 4 is multiple where I went to school.--Sethacus 20:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep There may not be enough coverage to make it past a stub, however touring internationally meets music notability. The requirement is meet general or any of the specific guidelines, therefore they pass notability. Barely, but they pass. Horrorshowj 19:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Weak Delete. The local papers cited don't seem to have done much reporting on this duo. It seems possible that the honors mentioned are simply taken from the resume submitted by the group, which works against the 'independent' sourcing requirement. I couldn't find any confirmation on the web that they had won the Concours International De Musique De Chambre, nor that they had been featured on NPR. Presumably they have, it would just add to the credibility of the article if a mention of that could be found on NPR's site. EdJohnston 01:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russ Martin

Note to closing admin: this AfD was heavily vandalised/meatpuppet-ed. There were lots of keep !votes (and little more) from spas/meatpuppets on this page, but these were reverted and the page semi-protected after a report here at WP:AN/I. They're now leaving their hundreds of keep votes on this here talk page. Regards, AllynJ (talk | contribs) 21:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm subscribed to a mailing list for Russ's fans. He personally sent out an e-mail with a link to his article saying "I guess we don't matter, go get 'em". All the vandalism and meatpuppetry (whatever that is) was probably from some of his fans. I don't see why they (or russ) would really give a damn about whether or not his page will be deleted, but oh well. Shnakepup 18:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hehehe...Russ just mentioned this deletion on the air. He jokingly agreed that he's not notable enough for an article, and said something to the effect of "well, I guess we'll see the fallout of this on the Arbitron ratings..."Shnakepup 00:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep I will agree there was a time where this page went outside the scope of the Wiki Guidelines. Overall though, he is well known and has been a successful radio personality in North Texas for over 10 yrs. In addition, he continues to do documented charity in the North Texas area for animal shelters and Police/Fire Departments. As such, provided that page is not high jacked and taken off the deep end (when it happened though, it really was quite funny), he 05:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)should have a page.Eroeder 01:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

He's one of several local ~~DJs~~ radio talk show hosts in the Dallas area, not syndicated. He is mentioned in passing from time to time in the Dallas media (see talk page for links), not unlike local traffic reporters and weatherpersons. There are some brief mentions of charity work he's done, but plenty of people get brief local media mentions for charity work; that doesn't make them notable. The article is all OR, which is not in itself a reason to delete, but the apparent fact that none of his biography or "notable bits" can be independently sourced suggests that this guy just isn't notable enough to merit an article. Cap'n Walker 16:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment What exactly are the criteria for entry into the Wikipedia. I submit it would be difficult to argue that Russ Martin doesn't warrant an entry while Geoff Lloyd does. There will no doubt be people who come to the Wikipedia looking for a Russ Martin entry and it seems there should be one in the event they do. With that s*Keep The more I research this, the more obvious it becomes that this user is abusing the deletion process by selectively targeting this radio station and/or the Russ Martin Show. This program is NUMBER 1 in its afternoon drive time slot in the NUMBER 5 radio market in the U.S. And I have found numerous other Dallas/Fort Worth radio personalities on Wikipedia whose ratings pale in comparison and who have not been targeted for deletion for "lacking notability". This luser needs to pull his head out of his ace, get an f-ing life, and leave real articles of interest alone. This luser's intellect and maturity "lack notability", and whose childish requests, if given in to, will make Wikipedia a site that eventually no one will want to visit. J.A.McCoy 01:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)aid, I would have to agree with MarkBul that this does not look to be much more than an attempt at a Wikipedia page put together by a fan or someone close to Mr. Martin. The problem is verification of much of the content through news articles and such is not really possible here because Russ Martin is known for not doing interviews. If we are to accept that news articles based on interviews (in which Mr. Martin would likely not be straightforward anyway) are the only "reliable sources" upon which to base a Wikipedia entry then there needs to be work on finding new criteria. My point is this: just because he doesn't do interviews doesn't mean he doesn't warrant an entry because he does. I've seen the Arbitron ratings and he has ratings in some categories which have never been accomplished in his market or many others for that matter. Problem there is Arbitron ratings are not available to the general public and therefore cannot be cited as a source. I don't have a delete/keep opinion to offer... only my comments for consideration.
Comment I don't know what the standard is for local media people, but that certainly is a bad page - it screams "fansite". If you edit it to clean it up, the fanboys will just revert to the hilarious anecdotes. If someone can find articles about him in the local media, I'd say Keep. If not, it's a Delete. MarkBul 17:33, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep A few articles, one profiling his show, but I'm not sure it's enough. He is on a notable station in a rather large area, Dallas/Ft. Worth and has gained some local fame as "the guy who came in after Howard".--Sethacus 17:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Quite notable to people in Texas. I would estimate several tens of thousands of people based on the ratings the show gets. Whether the site is poorly written is a quality issue, not a notability issue. There seem to be plenty of city-centric DJs with articles on Wikipedia (click around here) that don't seem to be bothering anyone. Some quick examples: 669 Radio Show, Matt Casey, William Eric Alexander, Paul Allen (radio), Rocky Allen, Armen Williams, Terry Anderson (radio), Casey Dolan, yada yada. I'm sure the power users will start throwing out Wikipedia guidline links but I'm not interested. I think if this article gets deleted I'll be saying adiós to Wikipedia.

"that don't seem to be bothering anyone" and so it shouldn't. This AfD is about this article not about others. Bigdaddy1981 23:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Which means this is a witch-hunt to get rid of this specific article since all the article links I provided (and there are many many others in that category) would qualify for deletion under the same reasoning as this one - but they don't matter, just Russ Martin's article. Even Mark Davis, another local DJ, has an article about him (and his show a separate one). Another prime example of power users here getting to decide what stays and what doesn't. ♫ Bitch and Complain Sooner ♫ 17:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment If the articles are as bad as you say then chances are they will be deleted as well. But the fact that other stuff exists really isn't a valid argument. Whispe ring 16:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete as nom. I'm from Texas, and I disagree that he's "quite notable to people in Texas." He's a local Dallas DJ, syndicated nowhere else in the state. Cap'n Walker 15:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

He was syndicated in Austin. After the program manager (Dusty Hayes) down there decided to pull Martin, the station's ratings magically rose when the books came out a few weeks later - so he's known outside of Dallas. There are over 6 million potential listeners in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Hardly un-notable if his show is number one. ♫ Bitch and Complain Sooner ♫ 17:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think he's notable on the basis of "potential listeners," and a very brief syndication in Austin makes little difference. Cap'n Walker 18:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  - I noticed you ignored the comment about the show being number one so I thought I would follow up. When a talk radio show beats out every station in the ratings, including music programming, it is significant. On top of that, his show is during afternoon/evening drive time (3-7 PM), so being number one means you're reaching a huge listener base. I will note that "number one" can mean lots of things. Key demographics for advertisers are 18-34, 25-54, and the like; men in these age groups are a sought after more than women because of the reality of their buying power. Between summer 2004 and summer 2005, Russ Martin Show maintained its No. 1 spot with adults 25-54, and rose from third to first for adults 18-34. Russ has been voted "Best Talk Host" by D Magazine and has been Readers Choice for Best Radio Talk Show in the Dallas Observer Readers Poll. All of this seems notable to me. I agree as previously stated that the key to this debate should focus on the article's content and not whether Russ is noteworthy; he is clearly noteworthy if for nothing other than controversy.--Randallking 12:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete Clearly unnotable. Eusebeus 12:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep Russ Martin is not only well known, but he's clearly "notable" for his contributions to D/FW. He established the Russ Martin Show Listener's Foundation, which aides the families of fallen police and fire personel. In addition, to honor police, fire and military personel while they are still with us, he established an annual Heroes Parade. He also supports and promotes the welfare of animals. He sits on the board of (and mentions on a weekly basis) Operation Kindness, a no-kill animal shelter. All of this is verifiable through his website: www.russmartin.com. Also visit www.operationkindness.org. Davidetoms 19:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete I don't see any reliable sources that aren't trivial in the article that prove any notability. Whispe ring 16:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

KEEP In addition to being a TOP RATED MAJOR MARKET (Market 5) RADIO PERSONALITY, Russ has been pivotal in pioneering the Russ Martin Show Listener's Foundation, a charity that benefits the families of Police and Fire workers who have selflessly and courageously fallen in the line of duty. That same charity also hosts a yearly parade to celebrate Police, Fire, and Military; a parade that is also listed on Wikipedia: Heroes_Day_Parade. Russ is also on the boards of numerous other local charities and is an advocate for the humane treatment of animals, often donating LARGE sums of money towards rewards for information that can prosecute those who have viciously maimed and/or killed animals in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. Russ Martin is very much a significant part of North Texas, and not just some small town "local jock". --BlaculaDave —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 17:39, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep I agree with the other wikipedians here who say we should keep the article. This article has a lot of quality issues -- probably needs a total rewrite with a lot more sources -- but I think it's ridiculous to suggest that Russ Martin isn't notable. A lot of people here seem to be making the mistake of saying "Well, I haven't heard of him, so he can't be that notable..." Shnakepup 18:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the article does need more sources. The ultimate irony, however, is that Russ can’t stand excessive praise for his charity work. In fact, he often snubs the news media when they want to mention his name because he thinks it’s ostentatious and that it cheapens his good deeds. Davidetoms 19:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep The article might or might not need revisions, but Russ Martin is clearly notable, especially in Dallas. Examples of his notability have already been provided above by other users. Rray 16:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep Shall it also be noted that Russ was voted number 56 on Talkers Magazine "Heavy 100"? I believe their tagline is "The Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts In America". Heavy 100 Urgency 02:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

My my, it seems that we have a Colbert Einstein situation here(rabid fans with computers). I am actually a little surprised notability is the major issue here. Having a number one show many years running in the number five market in the country has generated some mentions within the Dallas and larger radio community. Talkers Magazine, Dallas Observer, and D Magazine are all legit sources. If they weren't mentioned before in the article then they should be inserted. I'm all for cleaning the fancruft. But I think this one passes notability...so keep—Cronholm¹⁴⁴ 05:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Same reasoning as Mbisanz Tiptopper 21:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC) 28-Sep-2007
Keep Since he appears as #56 on the Heavy Hundred list established by Talkers Magazine, which is taken seriously by the Boston Globe in this article. By proceeding down through the Heavy Hundred list I note that many (though not all) of those listed down through the number 60 have Wikipedia articles (perhaps two thirds of them). This list seems to establish that Russ Martin has more than purely local significance. Obviously the article could be better, and obviously not all the Keep arguments make sense in the light of actual WP policy. EdJohnston 02:27, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep The more I research this, the more obvious it becomes that this user is abusing the deletion process by selectively targeting this radio station and/or the Russ Martin Show. This program is NUMBER 1 in its afternoon drive time slot in the NUMBER 5 radio market in the U.S. And I have found numerous other Dallas/Fort Worth radio personalities on Wikipedia whose ratings pale in comparison and who have not been targeted for deletion for "lacking notability".

Unfortuantly what Ami Shachori is famous for is for his death. While I realize that there is no biographical inoformation (though hopfully that will be sorted soon, I do think that his death is important enough to gain its own page. Having said that, if one would want to change the title of the aritcle to the assaination of Ami Schahori it would be understandable but to delete it seems antithetical to what the mission of wikipedia is (all due respect of course)--Braunold 09:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

This article lacks just about all the characteristics of a biography.

Nothing sourced, and site reads like an advert.

Comment: I created this article mistakenly unaware of Wiki's fundamental principle that a subject which does not attract worldly attention, isn't important to get its article here, after all this isn't yet a Jewish Encyclopedia, we must not push here inside Jewish subjects, which may very well be important for some Jews, but in the context of the broader whole world its sounds very trivial and non-notable. My first inclination to create this article was based on my desire to attract Jewish users, misunderstanding the concept of an inclusionist, believing mistakenly in as many more articles here as possible, but in retrospect i still would like to see the minimal standard by doing business here, and this article hasn't met it in regards of the Notability factor, since no established information or media outlet is on record talking about them.--יודל 14:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

As Shirahadasha pointed out, there needs to be an assertion of notability supported by at least two sources that have to be independent of the organization and at least plausibly reliable -- can't be a blog or similar.

You have given no real rationale for deletion, if u agree openly and honestly that this org is notable, you cannot get it deleted on your claim that it reads like spam, please help me fix the language and provide the more sources, it is currently sourced quite heavily and far exceeding the average Judaism related articles in this regards.--יודל 19:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Your sources are not valid. The first one is from an internal AJOP person. The second one again, is just a link to a software package sold by AJOP. The article has NO external sources about AJOP. Yossiea ^(talk) 19:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all, that individual isn't working with AJOP for ten years now, so he is serving for the source we need him to show u that people indeed do call this subject with the way it is written in the article. And to the point, Third party online business selling all kinds of merchandise is enough reliable and independent to cite as proof that there work is being sold out there and does exist. In Capitalism a subject is always considered notable if a reliable business is selling its products. And this subject does make waves economically so the proofs should not be discounted as biased because they make some money of the work of this subject, while u yourself claim that they are indeed Notable! --יודל 19:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep because this is a very notable Orthodox organization that has been around for over twenty years and it was the first organization of its kind (and still is) that was based on uniting and enhancing the "kiruv" (Jewish outreach) work by bringing together in North America all Orthodox groups involved with the Baal teshuva movement. It is the only organization not affiliated with Chabad that is recognized by virtually all Orthodox kiruv workers and professionals as having served to unite them, particularly throuh its conventions. It was founded through a multi-million dollar grant from the AVI CHAI Foundation and at its annual conventions almost every major non-Chabad "Kiruv" rabbi has been a featured speaker and presenter. If it the article has faults, as do many articles when they are first written, the nominator, in this case User:Yossiea could have brought this article to the attention of other Judaism editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism and there is no doubt that he would have been told that AJOP is a WP:NOTABLE organization that is indeed WP:CITEd on the web and many printed sources. AJOP has also published its own books and tapes. Its website at http://www.ajop.com/ introduces the organization well, and there are many Google references to this organization that make this nomination highly questionable.

- Yeshivish: Are you not familiar with how organiztions work in the Orthodox world? What kind of screaming headlines do you expect? The article describes this 20 year old organization that is well-known to basically every Orthodox Jewish outreach rabbi. Perhaps it is a mark of the non-controversial nature of the organization that it has not generated headlines but is nevertheless well-known, so the haset to delete here, in the context of Orthodox Jewish life in North America, makes little sense the way you present it. Some shikul hada'as ("practical evaluation" see WP:IGNORE) is needed here. If you are going to be so "strict" about it, then prepare to have 90% of all articles relating to Orthodox Judaism on Wikipedia blitzed out of existence. Oh, I have re-written the article, it is not "SPAM". And see WP:LAWYER which you are evidently violating. IZAK 05:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  - Exactly! An organization that is involved in outreach is connected to the outside world and should have some sort independant sources backing up it's notability. Especially, if as alleged (unsourced of cource), it is around for 20 years. You racked up a long list of references in the article, but most of them are worthless WP:SPAM. Can we get one independant source that discusses the notability of this organazation?--Yeshivish 08:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

NOTE 3: I have now completely reworked the article, and I have requested the following from User:Yossiea: "Please reconsider your nomination: Please re-read the Association for Jewish Outreach Programs article in its entirety and you will see that I have thoroughly Wikified and re-wriiten it with lots of new info, and moved it in the direction of a more critical article. I have added over twenty new citations including two key ones where AJOP was discussed in major Jewish communal and academic forums, see Association for Jewish Outreach Programs#Connection with Haredi Judaism. I have added an AJOP as an international Jewish resource section, based on painstaking research and not from "spam" or "blogs" and citing each link in detail. I have also added information about AJOP's origins, and where it fits into the broader scheme of things in the Orthodox world. Thank you for giving this matter your utmost attention, and I sincerely hope that based on the latest version of the article you will reconsider and withdraw your nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AJOP which I believe was done in too much haste. Thanks again. Sincerely," IZAK 08:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- This is only considered a rework that it should not be readable, it was spread out to the point where the article is cumbersome to read filled with heavy anecdotes about its history and office workers, its a downgrade of the article, u have deleted the Baltimore Jewish Times citation, you have deleted the Edah citation, and replaced it with 20 or so Kiruv mirror blogs represented as citations and, but still not one single independent citation that establishes its notability. Since you voided all the non-Kiruv sources and replaced it with clowns Kiruv P.R. blogs citations, it is now virtually Spam by all means and it should not be in the Wikipedia for one second.--יודל 15:11, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  - Umm, you make no sense. Your brief version was headed for deletion but I improved it so much that the original nominator agreed to withdraw his original nomination and now agrees that the article is worthy of being kept (something that raely happens.) The article is not about its "office workers" (what a cheek to say that) -- it lists all four directors who head/ed the organization and its three presidents (in a span of twenty years) each directore tried to move the organization in a certain direction which is a key to understanding its history and attempted function/s in the world of Orthodoxy. That is part of a twenty year history, is it not? Nothing made up here and no bias, and no clerical workers or typists and other rabbis who worked for the organization are listed (why should they be?) There are two VERY notable citations especially, from the one from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and Jewish Law Commentary --neither of which is affiliated with AJOP and are very important in their own right. The other refernces and citations serve as an important function of AJOP's notabilty far and wide in the English-speaking Orthodox world. Let's not play mickey-mouse here please. IZAK 09:19, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The user who opened this nomination and later retracted it has opened many other AFD's and has retracted it, look Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orthodox Jewish outreach, look Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yitzchak Berkovits another was deleted after one day so he could not retract it Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moshe Weinberger, It shoes nothing just a pattern that this is what he does all the time. About those 2 links, one is from Avi Shafran the biggest P.R. pusher for Kiruv and the other one is a passing mention in a secondary source, that does not in any way show a sign of Notability at all. As for your request we should not play mickey mouse and we should except all those other 20 English speaking orthodox citations as enough proof that they are notable, i would like to remind you of a double standard here[23] [24] [25], we cannot request strict standard when it comes to other people and when we deal with our own we look the other way and throw those standards out the window, i for one will not be part in this cabal, sorry, rules are rules.--יודל 12:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

KEEP I take back my nomination of this AFD. I already closed it but user yidisheryid, who at first was the main vocal "keep" person now changed his mind and he is for deletion. Since he can't follow instructions as per a closed AFD "DO NOT MODIFY", instead of creating a new AFD or going to deletion review, he just keeps reverting the AFD. Therefore, I am letting all who need to know that I as the nominator take back my nomination. The article was greatly improved by Izak, and even now after YY has reverted many of his entries, it is still good enough for me to take back the nomination. Furthermore, YY's new reasons for his delete vote is not wiki policy. Yossiea ^(talk) 18:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

DELETE You haven't closed it only after i seconded this nomination. You cannot close my nomination, since u r not exclusively the nominator, you can say that Izak has persuaded you, but don't force this subject to be cosed since you are not the only nominater of this discussion. And all the same reasoning i and you gave before was not addressed, i the nominator of this discussion hereby declare that i am not closing this request--יודל 19:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

"12:36, 20 September 2007 Yossiea (Talk | contribs) (821 bytes) (Creating deletion discussion page for AJOP. using TW)" (psst, that means that I created the page. That makes me the nominator.) In addition, your delete vote is already on top, meaning you are voting twice which is illegal. Yossiea ^(talk) 19:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I requested this nomination [26] long before u considered to close because Izak has left you some messages. YOU cannot close my nominations.--יודל 19:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

In general, AfD nominations are only allowed to be retracted if no other "delete" votes have been expressed. In this case, leave it open and let it run, we will see what happens. P.S. I've strucken your vote above to make your retraction more clear to other readers. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 05:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paintless Dent Repair

Surely this article can be improved, but I don't think it's worthwhile. There's one external link to a commercial website, and I suspect the whole raison d'etre of this article is to advertise that commercial enterprise. If we remove the link, we have an unreferenced article, and that's also a problem. Any ideas? Shalom ^Hello 16:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Looks like a sly attempt at advertising. No reliable third party references, and not notable enough on its own to even warrant its own article. At best, deserves a paragraph in some larger article. Nick Graves 16:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Merge or delete. My gut feeling is that this should be a section of an article on auto body repair in general, but I'll be doggoned if I can find such an article. --Fabrictramp 17:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Numerous body shops do paintless dent repair, and many companies sell kits. Definitely needs referencing, but it's a notable subject. Cap'n Walker 21:11, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete - doesnt seem to be advertising but the article is nothing more than a definition and thus violates WP:NOT as its not a dictionary. Bigdaddy1981 21:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
I removed the external link under the assumption that it's most likely spam. It would be useful to have a consumer-level description of how paintless dent repair works (like whether they use magnets, small hammers, heat, flux capacitors, or whatever). The current article doesn't provide that, though. If it isn't fixed by the time this AFD is done, then delete. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 23:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Definately Keep Dear all, I am currently living in Brisbane, Australia. Recently I read an article in the Southern Star about this particular student director, I looked him up on Google and found this discussion. I am not experienced with Wikipedia so I hope I am not 'out of line', but I made an account especially to debate this issue. Publicity for our young artists is important so I say keep. However, I am unsure of the nature of this so-called 'vandal editor'. Still, the article seems accurate and is not offensive on any level. It is far from a vanity biography and the youtube link is accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phdfuji (talk • contribs) 11:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

STKI is one of the most important and most influential companies in Israel. It's customers are all the largest companies in the country, and it's research has been quoted in the press regularly for the past 14 years. The company's work has a major impact on the IT field in Israel similar to what Gartner has on the global market, and so we believe it is justified to have it's own page.

- The point of that observation is that it is not a hoax. It is an encyclopaedic in my opinion to have an article on different sections of languages, if someone had an article on "consonants" or "Chinese Verbs" I doubt anyone would care, the fact that it is rude words should not be decisive, I'd rather it be cleaned up and kept.

[edit] Romanian profanity

ATTENTION!

If you came here because someone asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a majority vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus among Wikipedia editors on whether a page is suitable for this encyclopedia. Wikipedia has policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

Nonetheless, you are welcome to participate and express your opinions. Remember to assume good faith on the part of others and to sign your posts on this page by adding ~~~~ at the end.

Being a native romanian speaker, and with good knowledge of english, i can assure you that the words shown here are very accurate, and, thou not always common for most of the romanian native speakers, they are real. Of course it needs a little clean up, that's why i took the liberty of adding a few changes. You have to understand, that, even if the words do not appear offensive in english translation, they sound a lot different in romanian. Try for example using "fornication under consent of the king" as a profanity in romanian(the origin of "fuck" in english), and notice the inexistent consequences. Of course, "fuck" has a lot more sense, the same as "floci" has in romanian as a profanity, than "pubic hair" would have in english. I also read a lot of materials that try to explain and translate romanian profanities in english. Most of them are wrong or have a very simplistic approach, and almost under 10% truthfulness. You have to understand, new profanities are invented almost daily in romanian, and no one really knows them all. What you can read in this article are just basic words that compose every day profanities. Try upsetting a taxi driver in Bucharest, and he will curse you for minutes without repeating the same profanity. It is a method for releasing anger that other languages do not have. I personally find it frustrating to do the same thing in english, as most of the english profanities tend to be repeated, cannot be multiplied by making different combinations between them, as in romanian, and..most of all, tend to be pathetic (for a romanian) and do not reflect the real level of anger you experience. Trust me, i have heard most horripilating profanities in romanian, that in english cannot even be imagined. I consider the article should be kept, but with a proper cleaning. It's a good starting point for such a subject.

Oh, and "draco" ("dragon") in latin, IS the origin for "dracu" in romanian, wich means "devil". Due to christian mysticism, "draco"-"dragon" became "the beast" slaughtered by St. Michael aka "devil". Please try to avoid giving wrong explanations for a language that you do not know, or it's linquistic origins.

There are a number of reasons for proposing this. Firstly, this is completely unverifiable. Secondly, who decides the criteria for inclusion. For example: "floci = pubic hairs". Since when has "pubic hairs" been a profanity? I know kids tend to underline rude words in dictionaries - this appears to be nothing more than an online equivalent and should be deleted. B1atv 14:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

It is not at all unverifiable, you dumb fuck (see? now you could translate that in Romanian), as there are many Romanian speakers on English Wikipedia. "Floci" is a profanity, trust me (although you don't have in English any equivalent word (that I know of)). If you want to translate pubic hair in Romanian that would be "păr pubian". That's what a gynecologist might use. Never "floci". You may object that there are many rarely used curses there, but "floci" in not one of them. Deleting the whole article is stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.120.236.174 (talk) 15:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

——————————————————————————————————

"draco" does not mean devil in latin. It means dragon. But all in all it presents many real Romanian curse words, although I'm sure some of them are never used and the translations are not perfect either, which means that the author doesn't master the Romanian language very well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.36.119.100 (talk) 13:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

"floci = pubic hairs" actually qualifies as a profanity, at least in Romanian, the same way "Fuck" is a profanity in English as opposed to "having sexual intercourse". Although they mean the same thing, "Fuck" is a profanity. There is no word in English that would mean pubic hairs and be a profanity at the same time, that's why this entry sounds weird to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.85.252.100 (talk • contribs) 10:46, September 20, 2007

Strong keep + rewrite: As was mentioned above by our IP friend, we might also be failing to realize that just because a word doesn't necessarily mean something horrible in English that it doesn't in another language. Completely unverifiable is a bit of a leap. There are dictionaries of Romanian slang (and here's one of them.)

Delete Although a book subtitled "A Course in Modern Romanian" is cited as a source, and that book is in college and public libraries, something doesn't ring true. I seriously doubt that its author, University of Washington linguist Professor James E. Augerot, devoted that much of a reference book to the lengthy string of profanities that make up this article. More likely, this is original research. Of course, maybe Romanians do swear out long sentences like "Dute in pizda matii, cu curu inainte, sati dau si o muie cand o fut pe mata!" which describes a rather complex incestuous menage a trois. Or maybe it's the answer to "What's the dirtiest thing you can say in Romanian?" Mandsford 01:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: If you take a quick look at the history, you'll see that anonymous users have been taking a great deal of interest in the article. It requires cleanup and probably a protect, but that doesn't mean that it has any less value than the articles on Spanish or Latin profanity. (Latin especially, and I don't think it takes a great deal of thought to tell why.) Deleting articles instead of making them better is not what makes a good encyclopedia. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 01:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Strong keep: Hello I am the article's author. I strongly oppose any deletion. Swearing and cursing is a part of every day life both in Romania and everywhere else. I encourage any constructive criticism and any modifications but I must say that the modifications made so far have in my opinion made this article worse. If there are articles on spanish, portughese and italian profanities why can't there be one for romanian profanities as well? This looks a lot like censorship to me. I would be very disappointed should this article be removed and I would start to question the nature of wikipedia as a whole.

Keep notable concept and no less relevant/encyclopedic than profanity in other languages. It can be sourced even if it isn't: see WP:DELETE for that concept. Carlossuarez46 21:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Quite verifiable, or at the least worth the benefit of the doubt - I know of profanity compendiums in other languages, and have consulted them for Wikipedia before, so we can't dismiss the possibility of there being one for Romanian out of hand. The place of profanity in a culture goes beyond simple dictionary definitions, and it is feasible to restrict a list of examples to the most prominent ones (for instance, one of said compendiums had a list ranked by significance, well usable as a basis for inclusion). Lastly, I happen to speak a non-English language and what's profane in it need not be profane in English, and vice versa. --Kizor 02:16, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete as not notable and unverifiable. even if this film is borderline notable, the outrageous ongoing disruption and promotion by the film director's friend is untenable and just not worth it.

Delete and Salt. This is not notable. The efforts of many while trying to get WP:RS for Anna Wilding also failed to establish notability for this film.

Comment The above press release is irrelevant to this discussion, as it does not in any way pertain to Buddha Wild. Furthermore, it wouldn't have been appropriate for anything concerning the Anna Wilding article, because it is a press release and not a Reliable Source. It is strongly suspected that IP 24.189.29.208 is a sockpuppet of Real77, who has been banned indefinitely, and the closing admin is requested to ignore all remarks from that IP address. — Timotab ^{Timothy (not Tim} ^dagnabbit!) 14:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. I hoped that our efforts hadn't been in vain, but in the end I don't find enough to convince me of notability. Itsmejudith 16:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete I spent the better part of the last fifteen minutes trying to figure out if this film was notable or not. I started by checking on the external sources in the article. The links provided me with a couple of brief summaries and promoted the films as well. There was not anything in the external sources that could really be viewed as asserting notability. The article itself is completely unsourced, and in my opinion that is the biggest issue. If the the film was as widely shown as it was purported to be, there certainly there would be more information about it. Next, I went online to find my own reliable sources, and I could not find any. All I found was short blurbs or reviews. The article was created in April and we still don't have any sources five months later. As far as I'm concerned, this is a non notable film that was produced by a non notable director. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I think this should be deleted. --Cyrus Andiron 16:32, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete Appears to contain much original research Yngvarr (t) (c) 13:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Frankly (not to be biased), it is not apparent to me that the content included is advertising. But I am willing to learn why and how. Is it because I have not explained the technology detailed enough? Or that because it is still a new thing, not many people have heard/written/researched about it, hence the content is deemed less "reliable" and more "advertising"? I'm not trying to pick a fight here, I really just want to find out how I can contribute better. And I'm raising these questions because it really is not obvious to me how the content is considered as "advertising". So please enlighten me. Thank you. Ryantan 14:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Weak Keep Article appears to contain much original research, and does not cite reliable sources. Article needs to be wikified, as well.

Keep I agree with Ryantan... this isn't advertising. If it is advertising, it should at least have mentioned that a company called "Innovolt" is marketing this. A news release from Georgia Tech, where Deepak Divan designed this partiuclar suppressor, speaks to the marketing. Mandsford 01:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete for lack of establishment of notability through the provision of multiple, reliable, independent sources. Skimming the ghits, I see nothing outside of blogs, wikis, and official documentation/press releases. I'll be pleased to change my vote if someone can show otherwise.

Delete. Sounds like advertising, and this is apparently not a widely-known product, according to Google. This topic area may be worthy of being covered, but not in a way that restricts the article to covering a single product.

[edit] Edward DeVries

Biography of a living person that does not seem to satisfy notability for academicians. DeVries' texts seem to be published and vended by his employer, and I've found no evidence that they are significant or well known (criteria #3). I did a Google crawl on Edward DeVries and found nothing to substantiate notability on this particular individual. The University of which DeVries is president seems to be a homestudy program. It is a very general term, so difficult to search individually (many schools have departments named this), but I can't find any evidence of encyclopedic notability for the school.

This is an article from 2004, and unreferenced ever since. I stumbled upon it when it was mentioned in the context of WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS elsewhere. Some research of my own revealed [35] as an independent reference, a not-so-notability-proving SecurityFocus vulnerability entry, and a ton of... well, blogs.

Weak Keep. This article illustrates the difficulty of proving notability for software. It seems to be fairly widely used, but it's hard to find independent reliable sources to show it.

This usage appears to be a rarely-used term only found in a few medical research papers, compared to the widespread mainstream use of the term "H substance" to describe the H antigen.

[edit] Bill White (neo-Nazi)

Biography of non-notable racist. Although the article does have a few references (including one from the SLPC) they all seem to assert notability of his website Overthrow.com. I suggest deleting this article and making another article to cover his website. RucasHost 07:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The article has 15 inline citations, another 15 end references, and 9 external links. When the subject was involved there were well over a hundred sources listed.[40] (He's an avid self-promoter). It took work to get the list pared down. Overthrow.com is just one of his many notable and non-notable endeavors, including founding at least two political parties and trying, with some success, to start several riots. I'm afraid to say that this is a notable racist. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The fact that he's an avid self-promoter seems to be argument for deletion. It's almost certain he's editting his article a lot (in violation of Wikipedia policy) to generate publicity. Many of the citations are junk (references to racist essays written by him and his friends) and those which are good have more to do with his website than him. --RucasHost 08:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep as long as it is written in a neutral point of view, the subject is notable, and verifiable then it get an article. The original author is irrelevant - as long as it is now neutral. Wikipedia is not censored. I personally don't like the subject at hand, but thats my personal opinion, and is not a valid reason for deletion. Fosnez 08:29, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment. I'm torn on this: I checked several sources and the most he gets is a passing mention, either as spokesman/commander of "American National Socialist Worker Party", involved in several incidents, or as the author of the website. Only the local Roanoke newspaper article ([43]) is about him, sort of, as well as SPLC Intelligence report (but then, they cover just about every racist group in the US). Apart from this, the article suffers from a lots of quote mining. ~~Weak delete~~, I think, and I might change my mind if anyone finds more substantial coverage. Duja► 08:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

delete- per remarks from nom —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJJ999 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

The nom says there's no assertion of notability - I would hold that being a Bishop is automatically notable. The nom says 'we cannot include them all' which is obviously untrue. The notability guidelines say that someone is notable if "The person has been the subject of published[1] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." and that is also the case. How can you argue 'delete per nom'? Nick mallory 06:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- The importance of a position is in part dependant on the difficulty of attainment, and the dilution of it's merits. for example, Order of Australia is a real, serious award, but we could hardly award everyone who got one based purely on that. 5000 Bishops seems just too far to use it, we might equally have a page for every Sheriff in Australia.JJJ999 06:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  - What about every baseballer who's appeared in a major league game or every professional footballer who's played in a national league? Should we get busy deleting some of them because there's too many? How about villages or species of beetles? The whole point about wikipedia is that it can be truly encyclopedic because it's not paper. Nick mallory 07:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- It's a combination of factors, from fame to significance.

On the other hand, there may be heaps of sporting stars, but because so many of them have considerable notability, they are all eligible. For example, most people on wikipedia would probably consider Speedy Claxton to be an insignificant NBA player, but he has alot of fans, he is famous among thousands of people, he earns millions of dollars per year. Many Spurs fans could think back to his useful play against the Nets in the 2003 finals, even if most people have forgotten him by now. For this he is sufficiently notable. I am not convinced a Bishop is closer to an NBA player than to a glorified sheriff.JJJ999 07:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have a feeling I would disagree with the argument you're trying to make but, as I can't make head nor tail of it, let's see what other people have to say. "I am not convinced a Bishop is closer to an NBA player than to a glorified sheriff"...Um, you do know what a Bishop is, right? Nick mallory 08:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep - All Roman Catholic Bishops (and analogous positions in similarly well-established denominations or religions) are in principle notable simply by virtue of their office. Persons below that rank (or equivalent ranks in other denominations/religions) are not notable (according to their office), although they may be notable for other reasons. --SJK 08:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep - Notability as a concept, is distinct from "fame", "importance", or "popularity". The article has citations of relevant sources. Also, yes, every person that got an Order of Australia should get an article. Not because they got one, but rather because they did something notable to get it. Fosnez 08:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment 5000 is not such a big number.

'Keep but only because there are now enough references to pass WP:N. When initially nominated, the only reference in the article was proof of subjects ordination as Bishop. I don't agree that RC Bishop automatically passes notability. Archbishop and above sure. If a city's mayor isn't automatically notable, then it doesn't make sense for the Bishop of the same area to automatically pass. Titular Bishop's seem even more problematic which is the case here.

Comment. This is more of a cleanup issue, isn't it? Perhaps it would be best to tag it with {{unreferenced}} and keep an eye on it, at least for now. PC78 10:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Here's the problem - there are no refereces at all. I looked at the link to the Naomi Campbell Wikipedia page, and there is no mention of her modeling for Victoria's Secret. So the entire page is original research. If you tag it unreferenced and no one adds refereces, then what? MarkBul 16:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  - If references aren't forthcoming, then bring the article back here and we can vote to delete, saying that we gave it a shot. But let's give cleanup a chance first, eh? This article gets plenty of traffic, so perhaps some of those users will be interested in addressing this problem if we draw their attention to it. I googled "naomi campbell" & "victoria's secret" and got 337,000 hits, so I can only assume that references are there to be found. PC78 22:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
    - How do you suggest we reference this, by pictures? Victoria's Secret has never released a roster of its modeling team except the 'Angels', the main models for Victoria's Secret. An example would be Cindy Crawford. Was she or was she not a model for Victoria's Secret? We can't tell, can we? Number1spygirl 01:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
      - Of course we can, from a reliable independent source which confirms this as fact. PC78 23:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep, NOT A NEOLOGISM. A scientific term with many years standing. The airplane black box is not the source of the name (they're orange, actually); it derives its name from the concept.

All that said, I'm not 100% sure how to organize this page better.

Articles for deletion/Nobita's Adventure: Drifts in the Universe

Doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia:Notability (films). I have no way of knowing if this movie has received a lot of attention in Japan, but if it were notable enough to merit inclusion in the English language Wikipedia, I'd expect to find more English language sources on the net... Marked for cleanup for two years, without receiving much attention. --PeR 19:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Doraemon is a massive kids' cartoon character in Asia, and his films are big enough that they've made one a year since 1980.

Comment It makes no sense to me to have ten one-sentence pages for ten non-existant bureaucratic city divisions. I seem to remember that if a stub cannot be expanded, then it's a bad article. In this case, could you even expand it if you included all ten? And do similar city sewer districts get their own page? I have trouble seeing the notability here. Whatever is here can be discussed on another page higher up in the administrative hierarchy. MarkBul 16:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
IMO, the best place for this is a large article titled "history of the New York City Department of Education" - It does not exist yet, but someone could start it after the DOERegion pages are deleted. WhisperToMe 19:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
The reason for keeping them is the key information in the navigation boxes, which is where the individual schools are listed. This is the key organizational device. If the articles were removed, the information and the links would have to be reconstituted for all of them, and keeping this is a much simpler solution. DGG (talk) 23:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- DGG, that is not a proper rationale for keeping it. I can easily delete every single one of those navigational boxes. If I wanted to include this in individual school articles or in a "History of NYCDOE," I would. WhisperToMe 00:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

This church is referred to in a wide range of local history books and other resources. The article just happens to be a stub, and no editor has yet been able to expand the content and add the references in question - but, after all, that's what stubs are all about!" by Waggers. There is no evidence that this appears in a wide range of local history books. Montchav 18:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete It looks more the typical local neighborhood church. No notability asserted - it can be a speedy candidate.--JForget 00:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep. WP:N doesn't require a claim to fame, it only requires that "it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." This is one such source - I just need to find the book in the library again and add the necessary references. The fact that I have yet to do this does not mean the subject is not notable - WP:N says notability is not temporary, and there's no mention of time restrictions in Wikipedia policy. The references will be added in due course; the fact that they're not there yet bears no relevance to the subject's notability. Waggers 12:54, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Change to Redirect to Bitterne Park - I don't think I'm going to have time to go and find the necessary books again in the near future, and even then might struggle to find enough to justify a separate article. Anything I do find could probably be added to the Bitterne Park article. Waggers 09:47, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep per Waggers citation(s) Fosnez 10:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep if the creator would please include in the article the author name, book title, publisher, year of printing, and page number range of the relevant information which can be used to expand the article, as he should have done when starting it in the first place. A single unsourced sentence is not a proper stub. If the creator were a newbie writing the article, I'd be inclined to be a bit more flexible, but an admin who's been here a year and a half should know to cite sources and make at least some basic attempt at asserting notability when starting an article. If you haven't got the time to give us a single citation, everyone's better off if you restrain your urge to start the article until you're less busy. cab 11:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Weak Keep if it will be expanded Elmao 11:11, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Strong delete. Just having been mentioned in a book is not a claim of notability. Is it the subject of an important chapter of the book? Is the church's history gone into? Is it architecturally relevant? Corvus cornix 23:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Strong delete (as an inclusionist Wikipedian and a practising Christian). Local churches are generally not notable for Wikipedia. This article does not have any info about the church other than the district and denomination which are in the title; even the external links only provide address & phone no, not a church web site. I can't imagine a clearer case for deletion. If someone finds significant local history, then recreate the page with it, but this stub is pointless - not even worth merging with the locality Bitterne Park, which I would normally recommend for articles on churches.

[edit] St Anne's Roman Catholic Church, Streetly

Previously proposed for deletion, then prod removed because "I'd have thought this was a worthwhile if very small contribution to local history, so why decide it is not notable? There is doubtless much more that could be added in the way of dates and also some history of the parish school" by Exumbra. No evidence of notability. Montchav 18:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Am new to this, so I could well be misunderstanding "notability". While the subject of this article would be of use - when better desribed - to those interested in Streetly, the Catholic parish or both, is it the lack of sources and refernces that makes this not notable? It could be put right therefore, but probably not by one with only a passing aquaintance with Streetly as I have. The original author needs to try harder? I am still learning - 84.68.40.233 18:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Something or someone who is notable will have been written about by magazines, newspapers, feature writers, authors and so on, since they generally write only about things that are notable! Find the articles that have been written about the church and you (or the original author rather) are on the way to demonstrating that it is notable. --Malcolmxl5 23:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

If the "Mysterons" deserve an article and are thus notable, isn't this? But the question is, are the Mysterons notable? Exumbra 19:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Malcolm for a clear and informative comment. But as for Corvuscornix, why not have a comment on every parish church in the world since that would mean Wikipedia IS truly comprehensive, especially if we are trying to be comprehensive enough to include every fictional alien life form (eg the Mysterons)? You will find St Anne's mentioned in the Birmingham Archdiocesan directories (annual publication) and the parish school in local authority and diocesan inspection reports. What are we aiming for here? If someone wishes to use Wikipedia to discover simple and basic facts about an organisation in his or her area (or beyond), what's wrong with a basic entry here? Exumbra 22:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not a valid argument. Corvus cornix 22:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

You have answered a previous question: the Mysterons are not notable. I am tentatively putting my toe in the water of Wikipedia so I expect to slip up now and again. With so large a project as this it seems there will always be entries deemed unworthy of exclusion lurking until deletion. But that does not have to mean that they are, er, "crap", but simply "not notable". Exumbra 15:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete No assertion (or evidence of notability). And to Exumbra, you're correct. A better link would be WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which is certainly true. That said, the key issue isn't just notability, but verifiability. Unfortunately, this article doesn't pass that policy either. Bfigura ^(talk) 05:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

notability-If "CCA closed due to financial constraints after the conclusion of the 06/07 school year", is it still notable? Chris 07:18, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Notability does not expire. Turlo Lomon 07:50, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

reply what specifically made it notable? Chris 07:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Reply Now that I can't answer, but your question specifically was "still notable". If something was notable, it would still be notable. I may change my stance after I do some further digging, but how you phrased your AFD may cause a problem. Turlo Lomon 08:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I am trying to find it now, but I could have sworn there was a policy or guildeline indicating that a high school was defined as notable to encourage younger editors. Turlo Lomon 08:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Reference: User_talk:Turlo_Lomon/history1#High Schools. This is what I was told when I was brand new here. Turlo Lomon 08:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I see. My "still" referred to the auto-notability of high schools. Since this is a stub, and a closed school, so there are no more younger editors to encourage, does it carry the notability of either a living-but-stubby article or a closed-but-well-written-and-actually notable one?

It is already well extablished that notability does not expire. If it was notable once, it is notable now. Turlo Lomon 07:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Turlo Lomon-quite obviously did not read the section in that same clause that says "articles should not be written based on speculation that the topic may receive additional coverage in the future." I'm tired of trying to get you to answer the specific question directly-so this is my last reply to you. Chris 07:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I know you read the link I posted above. You even commented on the auto-notability of high schools. If that is the policy, then it should remain. If I was misinformed on the policy, then that should be stated and I would change my stand on this issue. This isn't a vote, it is a discussion. Right now, the point of debate is "Are High Schools automatically notable?" Right there decides this whole AfD. Turlo Lomon 08:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Direct Policy Found Wikipedia:Inherent notability It states all High Schools are notable. And since notability doesn't expire Wikipedia:Notability, article should stay. Turlo Lomon 14:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- As said below, that is very not policy. Should not even be cited as a repuatable essay. — i ^said 05:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment. The 'inherent notability' guideline quoted above is not accepted Wikipedia policy. In the absence of any agreement at WP:Schools all school articles must conform to the core Wikipedia:Notability guieline. There probably will be sources available to expand this article and demonstrate the school's notability but so far this has not been done. Dahliarose 13:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - The statement that the school closed is unsourced; I have not been able to verify it or debunk it via a websearch. However, I find that the school is discussed in a book: Ungodly Rage: Hidden Face of Catholic Feminism, By Donna M. Steichen. It seems to be an example of a Catholic school established by conservative Catholics and operated outside the church structure.--Orlady 17:25, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I followed the link, looked at the index, which notes that the school is mentioned on page 389, went to that page and saw only a mention as one of a few conservative Catholic schools. Noroton 22:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Additional information. Also, the school was subject of a segment on ABC TV News in 1976: Report on school started by dissatisfied parents. . The school is starting to look like it might be notable!--Orlady 17:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I think this definitely counts as a substantial source. Noroton 22:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep Orlady has established that there is one excellent source, the ABC News segment from 1976. I'm confident that other sources exist -- they always exist for a high school, which is why I think they're all inherently notable. I hope we can establish this to everyone's satisfaction before this AfD is over. Noroton 22:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep Notability is permanent, and the ABC News source is more than sufficient for notability. I think that perhaps not 100% but more likely 90% of established high schools will prove to be notable, and the simplest thing to do is to keep them all. We will however need a project for upgrading them, because a great many of thecontributed articles are totally inadequate. DGG (talk) 23:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep Notablity is established and survives the school's closing. Alansohn 01:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
comment-I'm not married to the idea that this article must be deleted, and I thank all of you after the first commenter for opening up why this school is notable, but why then has this new-found information not been added to the article, as Alansohn and I did with Granada Undivided School? I'd rather save it if possible, but thus far precious little has changed since I put the AfD up. Chris 01:37, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's a little hard to access that ABC News report, even though we know it exists and it seems very clear that it offers substantial coverage. If we could grab the information easily, I think it would have been done already. Unless someone wants to make the case that they really doubt there are independent reliable sources for the school, I don't think there's a notability argument for deletion any more. In time, I believe sources will be added. Noroton 01:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I really wasn't trying to trash it, but when I found it, it looked like a closed school, no notability and no new students to eventually take up the torch. I always root for a living high school, but never know what to do with closed ones that have not merged and are not on a historical register. I'm glad you all understood my concerns. If you'll add what has been found, I'm happy to withdraw the nom. Chris 02:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

There's no reason at all to doubt your good faith. Noroton 14:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the search results page describing the ABC segment (reported by Ted Koppel by the way!) had some worthwhile information, which I just added. Noroton 02:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Weak keep, the only thing I could find was this but I'm not sure how reliable godchecker is, though it has been used in other articles. I searched using "Aakuluujjusi" but like Eagle101 not too many look that valid as sources. The other thing is there is no indication in what part of the Inuit world she is from. She isn't from this part of the Arctic as a quick bit of calling around was able to confirm. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Center for Planning Excellence

The article claims notability with "recognized nationally" but provides no references to support the claim. The only coverage I was able to dig up was trivial and localized (i.e. almost all appeared in one local newspaper) - coverage outside of the area seems to be limited to "John Smith, founder of Center for Planning Excellence".

Weak Keep per sources found by User:Carlosguitar. There needs to be some Wikipedia coverage of the planning process in southern Lousiana, though this is certainly not an impressive article. My problem is that I think the Louisiana Recovery Authority is notable, due to its $10.4 billion budget, and some of the plans that Center for Planning Excellence is helping to supervise are notable, like Plan Baton Rouge. So it's hard to see how to knock out this one but keep the others, and I don't know where this one would be merged. EdJohnston 04:27, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete clear failure to show level of notability needed to support an encyclopedia article (as opposed to mention of facts in some other relevant article). Also fails WP:NOT#NEWS Wikipedia properly considers the long-term historical notability of persons and events, keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article ... in many cases this will mean not having a biography about someone who is not an encyclopedic subject, despite having made a brief appearance in the news. Timely news articles, however, are welcome on our sister project Wikinews. Classic case of this, based on reports and information to date.

[edit] Dmitry Gribanoff

Does not seem to be notable. One of his movies is a student assignment, another is a $3000 yourtube porno Alex Bakharev 03:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep. But: if kept, needs a lot of work. Perhaps also needs renaming, though the "ff" spelling is what the guy wants himself. For once, I am going against Alex Bakharev. I can imagine why he thought that that one movie was a student assignment: there is no birth date here. The reason why I think deletion is a bit too early now: the guy's website. He lists a number of films there, and mentions his involvement in other fields. I do not like the fact that Sister's Kiss was started in 1999 (only 12 minutes then), but everything depends on how that is received. The guy stopped working on his website in 2003, so some other things he did are missing ([65]). Cherry on the cake, if this guyis the same one, let's forget about deletion.--Pan Gerwazy 11:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete - there are no independent reliable sources discussing either Gribanoff or his work. (English) Google hits seem to be split equally between his trailer and a (probably unrelated) Unreal Tournament player. Were he the camera man of Elizabeth I, things might be different, but that Gribanov is spelled differently (both surname and given name). Huon 12:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

No, (how often have we had to say this) in Russian Cyrillic he is not, have a look at the two Russian pages. But of course there may be more of them around. --Pan Gerwazy 13:00, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - the Elizabeth Gribanov's given name, Dmitrij, is (in latin script) written differently than Dmitry's passport photo on his website gives as his given name's official latin spelling (which, unlike his surname's, he uses himself). So unless we assume that a St Petersburg director routinely gets hired as cinematographer for films made in Lithuania by people who then misspell his name (compare Dmitrij's IMDb entry), they're different people. Anyway, if we can't even tell whether they're the same or not, there obviously are not enough reliable sources to write a verifiable article. Huon 17:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this one gives Gribanov a part in the making of Highlander - The Source, which also seems to have involved a Lithuanian firm. So, the Lithuanian link and Elizabeth I must both involve a different Dimi Gribanoff/v. I still think that whatever the article's Dimitry did between 2003-2007, he got a rather good reception in alternative film circles this year. This biggest "film" of his will be on the Internet only from September 28th and he is now planning to ask money for quality higher than Youtube ([66] - it is in the guestbook) I think it would be a bit awkward deleting him now, though I agree that the article itself as it is now is useless.--Pan Gerwazy 19:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - sorry for repeating myself, but is there a reliable source for either our Gribanoff or his good reception in alternative film circles? I found none, the article doesn't give any, and if we don't find some until AfD closure, why should we keep the article when it's effectively unverifiable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huon (talk • contribs) 20:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I found quite a number of references by way of Yandex. (it is quite a job, because there are quite a number of different people called that way, including an important lawyer, a violin player and a moto-cycler, and I hope I am not missing any correct ones because we do not have the patronymic - in any case I will have to put the references and my comment on them at talk) Looking through them (the correct ones, that is), I am starting to think that the guy may be (more) notable as a video game programmer, but not so, or not as much as a movie maker. The main problem: will people accept Russian references? After all, Alex knows Russian, he will be able to interpret them correctly. --Pan Gerwazy 08:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete unless reliable sources are provided. He isn't at imdb, and there are very few Ghits, youtube or otherwise, and nothing that indicated notability. There is a wide possibility of alternate spellings, but unless somebody can provide the sources, there is nothing here than indicates notability. Corvus cornix 23:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toni Comer

article with a dubious claim to NPOV and has no notability at all - I live a half-hour's drive from Sheffield and I didn't hear about it. The fact the page hasn't been majorly edited in months only strengthens the point that it's a news article, which are discouraged on Wikipedia. Will ^(talk) 15:57, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attacking Anxiety and Depression

Appears to be a non-notable commercial product and infomercial, with all the article reference links going to commercial sales sites. Mattisse 22:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep. This article was already nominated for a speedy deletion. [67] Subsequent discussion demonstrates that it was decided that it was noteworthy enough to remain. [68] As is discussed on the talk page, this product is one of -- if not THE -- best selling programs for anxiety and depression recovery. It has been around for two decades. Lucinda Bassett, creator of the program, is a constant presence on infomercials and on radio. She is a frequent guest on many high-profile shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show. -- Andrew Parodi 22:39, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete It's not sold in any store. Plus, if you act now... post a response within the next 10 minutes and get a bonus... hundreds of thousands have been helped... etc. Why pay for an infomercial when you can advertise on Wikipedia for free? Mandsford 01:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Note. As I mentioned in the "speedy deletion" discussion, I'm the one who started this page. I am not an employee of the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety. I make no money off of this program. I started this article because this product has been around for about two decades now and I think it would be beneficial to have an article that offers insight into the program. This program has been the subject of evaluations by professional journals and is said to be used in thousands of hospitals around the world. I think that it would be beneficial to have this information compiled in one place (this article). -- Andrew Parodi 01:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Addendum. As you suggest, the infomercial is ubiquitous. In other words, there's already a great deal of advertising out there for this product -- and it is therefore highly unlikely that any Wikipedia article will give this product any sales boost. Therefore, this article is not "advertisement." Also, with regard to the nominator's comments: the links are to commercial sites, but (save for the Midwest Center's site) not to sites that sell this product. Most of the links are to sites about recovery from anxiety, and those sites have evaluations/reviews of this product. And some of those reviews are negative, further indication that this cannot be seen as "advertisement." Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 04:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Delete as this attempt at product placement fails WP:NOSPAM. --Gavin Collins 08:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Question. Is anyone reading what I write? I've already stated several times that I am the one who started this article, and I am not on staff at the Midwest Center and I earn no money from this product. It's a bit unusual to be told that I am attempting "product placement" with a product that is not mine to place. At the very least, could others voting on this article practice some good ole "good faith"? Thank you. -- Andrew Parodi

COI by itself is not a reason to delete, nor is lack of COI a reason to keep. Many people write articles on things they know about and like, in perfect good faith, but the articles are none the less nothing more than PR for the product, which may or may not be notable. DGG (talk) 00:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what "COI" stands for. But my statement was in response to Gavin Collins' statement that this article is an "attempt at product placement." It was no such thing. It was an attempt at a Wikipedia article. That's all. He was reading in to it something that wasn't there. It's a bit unusual to have someone who doesn't even know me tell me what my intentions are. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 00:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I think DGG means that, even if you do not own or profit from the commercial product, and even though you wrote the article in good faith because you like the product, that does not mean that the article itself rises above the level of PR for the product. Nor does it mean that if you have an interest in the product, financial or otherwise, that is is reason to delete the article. The decision to keep or delete is based on the quality of the article, not on COI issues. (COI stands for conflict of interest, and that conflict need not be financial. It may be that you are not neutral on the subject, perhaps because you are a fan of the product, so it is difficult for you to write a neutral, encyclopedic article on it.) --Mattisse 02:44, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. To clarify, the only thing I'm a fan of is of creating an article about a product in wide use within this specific genre; that is, an article about a notable product. (Not a day goes by that I don't hear an advertisement for this product. It's a part of our culture, and I think that warrants an article.) I thought this was what Wikipedia was for. I think this article, if allowed to survive, could be a valuable repository of information, if only it could be allowed to develop. Most articles do not spring forth fully formed. Many start as stubs, as this one has. Also, again, I have linked site that discuss the product (though do not sell it), and which contain reviews of the product -- some of which are negative. So, I don't understand how this could be perceived as biased in favor of the product.

"The decision to keep or delete is based on the quality of the article, not on COI issues." So far, I don't see what is wrong with the article. It's a stub, but so are many articles. And I don't see any conflict of interest whatsoever. I think the article is pretty balanced. "It may be that you are not neutral on the subject, perhaps because you are a fan of the product, so it is difficult for you to write a neutral, encyclopedic article on it." I think the article is pretty neutral. Is there any specific reference that you think is non-neutral?

So far, it doesn't seem that anyone is criticizing the content of the article, but the perceived intent of the creation of the article. (The perception being that I created it as PR for the product.) This is why I continually state that I did not start it as PR for the product. This product doesn't need a Wikipedia aricle for PR; its infomercial is on every night. But someone studying the conditions of agoraphobia, stress, anxiety, infomercials, pop psychology, etc., may find this article useful -- if only it's allowed to survive. So far, the only complaint about this article is that it is "PR" for the product. If anyone has any concerns with the content of the article, that would be helpful. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 10:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Sorry but there's not much of encyclopedic contents here - just saying that a product exists and sells well. The external links don't provide much of information either. Pavel Vozenilek 03:10, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment. The reference to sales was an attempt to establish the notability of the product. To my knowledge, high sales and longevity makes a book or product notable. With regard to there not being much here right now, that's because this is still a stub. With regard to the suggestion that this isn't encyclopedic, it fits perfectly within the category of Popular psychology, which is a very large category and had existed for some time before I started this article. If the category "Popular psychology" itself is encyclopedic, then wouldn't the articles that fit within it also be notable? If not, then why have a category at all? Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 04:26, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment - This article is considered medicine-related (a treatment for a psychological disorder) per note above by Expresso Addict. Please note the Arbitration Committee recently ruled that such articles must include references citations of the following type: Proposed decision/Appropriate sources.

Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources require that information included in an article have been published in a reliable source which is identified and potentially available to the reader.

It might be helpful to you to read the linked Wikipedia policies on Verifiability and Reliable sources. For example, are there controlled studies indicating the program is successful in treating anxiety and depression? Or would the passage of time and/or the placebo effect be just as effective? --Mattisse 12:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

There have been studies of the program, but the only place I can find them are on the site of the producer of this program. I didn't link to the studies published on the site because I thought others would say that is "advertisement". http://www.stresscenter.com/ -- Andrew Parodi 17:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I might add, it's very biased to suggest that this is "pseudoscience". "Pseudoscience is any body of knowledge, methodology, belief, or practice that claims to be scientific or is made to appear scientific, but does not adhere to the basic requirements of the scientific method." This is self-help. Lucinda Bassett has never claimed the program is scientific. She suggests that the reader/listener should always consult a psychologist or doctor before using the program, and that it is not meant to take the place of therapy or medication if that is what is needed necessary by one's doctor. -- Andrew Parodi 17:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Debbie King Show

article about a late night (and I mean it - this stuff normally aired around 3 in the morning) quiz show where the only claim to notability is that it only lasted one night. Will ^(talk) 22:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Delete just not notable Rackabello 23:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep as it was a planned weekly series on a national UK network that was cancelled after one airing due to the collapse of said network which was a spinoff of ITV. All TV series -- no matter how short-lived -- are notable if broadcast on a national scale. Deletion of this article would IMO be a case of American-centric bias as I don't see any AFDs for equally short-lived series such as The Will and Turn-On, to name just two. Article can always be expanded with sources, etc. 23skidoo 01:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

The difference between The Will and The Debbie King Show is that the former was shown during primetime on a main channel and the latter was on a barely-watched channel, presumably during the early hours of the morning. With Turn-On, the fact its remembered over 40-50 years and has been focused upon in several books is testament to its notability. Will ^(talk) 12:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. I see no proof it's notable. Wikipedia isn't a guide to every TV show ever. I'm sure there is some TV wiki this would be better for. RobJ1981 06:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment. As a one-off show on a defunct z-list channel this is not really notable and seems to be included more for the triviality of having only lasted a single episode. That being said, the article might be well served by being merged into Debbie King and then redirected to there. On its own it is just too trivial but as part of a the wider article it looks OK. Keresaspa 12:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
~~Keep~~ – 23skidoo sums it up aptly. Matthew 14:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Can't find any web sources... so withdrawing my keep pending further research. Matthew 19:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. We should not have articles on every quiz show that has appeared on such marginal channels as ITV Play, certainly not one that lasted only one day. Wikipedia is not a TV guide. Absolutely no sources to confirm anyone was aware of the programme's existence, let alone that it's notable. WjBscribe 17:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Redirect, and merge with the Debbie King article. Google seems to only list the UKGameshows.com page for this show as a source. It's really only notable for only lasting for one 2½-hour episode, and thus being one of the shortest-running UK television series ever. Brief mentions in the articles for the presenter and the list of television series cancelled after one episode should suffice. Andrew (My talk) 23:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep -- This was a scheduled program on a national channel, and even though it is not notable, it should be included. There are several "pay to lose" shows that are just as notable, yet have articles. And, as someone mentioned, there are also several shows that lasted only one episode that have articles here, but no one knew they exist before reading it here. -- azumanga 02:55, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Delete. No independent sources testify to the importance of this show, and the relevant facts about it are already included in the Debbie King article. EdJohnston 04:31, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
