The result was Withdrawing by nom my main concern was that the request for reliable verifiable sources claiming notability were not met in the article after 2 years and at least one repeated recent request---and there was a ton of 'noise' surrounding google searches for Smosh. NurseryRhyme provided enough independent reliable sources, that were not referencing the same event even, to prove notability. --- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 20:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC) reply
Somehow this page survived deletion 2 years ago when it was previously nominated. The article is about a non-notable group of 2 that have released 63 youtube videos. The article makes a minor assertion of notability, that they are "currently the third most subscribed of all of YouTube." When this was added who knows, it could be 2 years old, thus the "currently" is not helpful. It is also not referenced. Currently there is only one independent sources--everything else that currently exists is their own youtube videos or myspace. The one reference, in entirety, "Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, also known as Smosh, won for best comedy video." This does not represent, "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Winning a single non-notable award, does not convey notability, especially when the award is deemed as advertising gimmick for Youtube. Smosh fails to meet satisfy the criteria at WP:CREATIVE and is questionable about WP:entertainer---but without resources, this cannot be confirmed. I was going to leave a note on Smosh's talk page asking for sources/proof that this article deserved to be kept, but two weeks ago somebody else raised the Spectre of deletion. The claims to notability are weak and without reliable independent sources, this article should be deleted. --- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 17:46, 25 December 2008 (UTC) reply

After multiple citation templates and requests were ignored by the primary authors for a year, I removed all questionable material, leaving a list of people who have variations on the name, and little more. A two month old merge proposal went ignored by the primary authors, whose only interest is in preventing any chagnes to the page, but not improvements. Further, the split between European Butts and between Indian Butts was left unclear, and no effort was made to separate the Butts of one group from the Butts of a totally different group. Finally, by the primary authors' own writings, Butt as an Indian tribe and such was really the Bhat tribe, but they wre unwilling to work on that page for whatever reasons.

This article is about a particular oral capsule presentation of an anti-inflammatory medication. It may be that this particular capsule does not have notability independent of the chemical itself, namely Piroxicam. Also, the information here is taken from a prescribing manual, and is clearly presented in a manner suitable for a health care professional who is considering prescribing the medication, rather than in a manner that is suitable for a lay user of an encyclopedia.

Seems to be little more than an advertisement for a non-notable artist. There are also numerous links on the page solely advertising Mr. Patchen's artwork. It also appears that the article is being maintained by Mr. Patchen in violation of
WP:CONFLICT. A Google search for "David Patchen" shows only 3,420 results, many of which are unrelated to this particular individual. Hence, I believe that article does not meet the requirements for notability.

This article is about an announced, but apparently unproduced, television series on The N, with which rapper Ludacris is supposed to be involved. The article was tagged for speedy deletion due to lack of sources. In fact, there are sources, a couple of which I have since added to the article. Unfortunately, substantially all the sources are from 2006, when the show was announced. The show is currently described in the article as scheduled to premiere in 2008, which obviously it isn't going to do since it's not on the network's schedule and there is less than a week left in the year. Two years is more than enough time in which to get a television series into production; as far as I can tell, the "Halls of Fame" project is no longer likely to ever make it to the screen. I recommend a delete, although if anyone can establish that the project is still viable, I may change my mind. Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:30, 25 December 2008 (UTC) reply

Non-notable politician. Being the son of a notable person does not make one notable. The subject has not (yet) been elected to parliament, rather is only a candidate in a future election (along with several thousand other candidates). While the subject has worked as the lawyer of another leader, that alone or the trivial mention of that job alone does not make him notable either.
