List of indiscriminate information; difficult to maintain. Extensive POV judgment calls: What constitutes counter-programming and what constitutes filler? A More Perfect Onion ( talk) 20:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Though it does not appear indiscriminate to me, I do believe this is mainly original research. This is simply the author's opinion of what shows were counter programs. Just because two programs occur at the same time does not mean one is a counterprogram. Scapler ( talk) 20:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC) reply

  • He won an award as the best football player in Mississippi. That is not a major award. As I said above, the award is based on the extremely limited criteria that the player must be an athlete in Mississippi. And considering the only thing he can claim notability for is being an athlete, WP:ATHLETE most definitely applies. We don't consider the winner of the Gagliardi Trophy automatically notable...so we wouldn't consider the winner of an in-state award notable. -- Smashville talk 02:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete As a Mississippian, I can say that the Conerly Trophy is a joke in the state now, thanks to Juan having won it this year. I mean, Juan "won" it over an Associated Press All-American in Peria Jerry. Everyone saying it's a "major" award, should stop. Of course, it will be said I am biased as I am an Ole Miss supporter and Jerry played at Ole Miss.. but it's so obvious even to general onlookers. Had he and his Division III Millsaps team played Jerry and Division I Ole Miss, he wouldn't be holding that trophy today. That said, he doesn't meet any sort of notability guideline/policy either. If ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc. had been knocking down his door for interviews, then maybe. Should he go on to the NFL, I'll support an article for him then. - ✰ ALLST☆R✰ echo 03:43, 27 December 2008 (UTC) reply

Portrayals of The Joker in film

Portrayals of The Joker in film (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Article was spun off of Joker (comics) but is merely duplicative of information presented there. It adds nothing but extensive plot summary, which is discouraged per WP:PLOT. As it cites no sources, it also contains quite a bit of opinion and original research. Basically there is no reason to have a separate article on the character's portrayal in film, as this is already covered much better in the main article. Per WP:SS, the section in the main article should be developed and expanded with reliable secondary source material before a split is considered (note that the section in the main article, though better-written in that it favors real-world contexts, nonetheless only cites 3 sources). Since this article is 85% plot summary, 15% unreferenced claims & OR, it should be deleted. IllaZilla ( talk) 00:46, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep A comparison of a basic role across multiple works is not plot summary. The article seems to still in in process--the discussion of the different films in uneven. There is certainly enough information in the various reviews to source it, and eliminate the impression that it's OR. . considering the extent of the material and the importance of the character, a separate article seems not merely desirable but almost essential. It expands, not duplicates the information in the main article, I think it corresponds to Section 5.1, Live-action, which, quite properly, is a summary of this. -- if it does not expand on it sufficiently, it can be further developed.. DGG ( talk) 03:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • The article as-is makes no such comparisons, though. It re-presents a summary of the Joker's roles in the plots of each film, and then makes unref'd analytic claims about them. Granted, improvement may be possible, but my contention is that this should not have been split off from the main article. The development needs to happen there, where some decent material already exists. In the future, if it seems the section is getting to the point where it can stand on its own, then by all means split it off into an independent article. But merely jumping straight to the independent article (without even including the decent info from the main article) is entirely premature. I'm not aware of any other media-specific character articles, so I don't really have a precedent to point to. Superman in other media, maybe, but that's really just a list article. Common practice seems to be to discuss all portrayals of these characters in main articles, ie. Superman. As I say, a future split might be appropriate, but the gun was severely jumped and it should be nixed in order to keep the development in the main article where it belongs. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 03:17, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete article shouldn't exist in this form. As noted above the procedure is to expand the relevant section and split it off and in comics you'd split the whole "in other media" section off. Given the fact that this was previous done, to Joker's appearances in other media, and then merged back in again means this is also going against consensus that the section isn't ready for a split (if someone thinks it is then they should feel free to start a split discussion). ( Emperor ( talk) 03:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)) reply
  • Delete per Emperor. A redirect to Joker (comics) would be pointless. Jonny2x4 ( talk) 04:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Article consists only of plot and original research. Main article already adequately covers this topic. That article may need some trimming, but that doesn't justify this article. Jay32183 ( talk) 08:28, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • merge+redirect (see below) keep. Joker (comics) is entirely about the comics, and is already quite long, so a separate article about portrayals in movies and possibly TV is warranted - BTW Batman is almost equally restricted, I don't understand how it reached FA with this huge gap in coverage. It would be quite easy to improve Portrayals of The Joker in film from reviews cited in the WP articles about the movies and TV shows. Remember that WP:DELETE says where possible artciles should be improved rather than deleted. -- Philcha ( talk) 14:01, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • 2 points to rebut here: 1) Joker (comics) isn't jsut about the comics. That title is merely a disambiguation. Note the "In other media" section, which covers live action, animated, and video game adaptations. Same thing with Batman: An "In other media" section covering films, animation, etc. with a link to the separate article Batman franchise media. Clearly not a "huge gap in coverage", and exactly how these things are expected to evolve along the lines of WP:SS. 2) No one is suggesting that this subject matter couldn't be made into a decent article. What's being said, rather, is that it needs to develop in the main article first before it's allowed to split out on its own. Otherwise we're just going to be back here in a few weeks trying to merge stuff back in. Somebody put the cart before the horse, and instead of working on the existing "In other media" section of the main article, developing it to the point where it could stand on its own, spun out a separate article in favor of expanded plot summary and original analysis. That needs to be nixed so that the development of the content can happen in the main article, where it belongs, and we can do it now while there's nothing to be merged. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 20:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
You've convinced me. I've changed my vote to "merge+redirect", with the redirect going to the relevant section of Joker (comics) for the benefit of those who are more interested in the movie and TV portrayals. BTW in Joker (comics) it might be helpful to retitle that section "Movies and television". -- Philcha ( talk) 22:34, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • The problem I see there is that there is no referenced content, so there's nothing to merge, and the title is complex enough that the chances of it being a likely search term are miniscule. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 00:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep but add sources. The topic is viable; there is great interest in how the Joker has been portrayed throughout the years, especially Ledger's performance which I've heard tell has attracted some academic study (that's anecdotal heresay - I have no source to offer but if what I've heard is correct sources should be out there). Romero's performance has been addressed in several books on the Batman TV series as well as the autobiographies of Burt Ward and Adam West, which can be cited. Viable spin-off regarding a notable character in popular media. As noted above, an easy first step is to simply borrow sources from other Joker-related articles and start from there. 23skidoo ( talk) 14:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • See my responses above. The contention is not that the topic is not viable, but that it should be developed in the main article Joker (comics) first before a split is considered. Splitting it now was entirely premature and resulted in an article of nothing but plot summary and OR, and by nixing it while there is still nothing to merge we can assure that the positive development of content happens in the main article, until such time as it may warrant a split. This provides a better service and context both to our readers and editors. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 20:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I overlooked it before, but there was a previous AfD of this article under a different name, when it focused solely on the Nicholson adaptation: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joker (1989 Batman character). The consensus was almost unanimously to merge the content back into Joker (comics). I'm not sure why that was the result, as the entire contents of the article before renaming were 3 unreferenced sentences. When there is no referenced content, there can be nothing to merge. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 20:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and/or merge as appropriate. Plot summary aside, there's no reason why a quick precis of each of the portrayals can't be held within the Joker article. Anything more in-depth would be more appropriate to the individual film articles. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 16:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  1. Much of it is cited, so calling it "crystalballing" it a stretch longer than the world's longest taffypull.
  2. "[R]eliable information" is there! I say if Shigeru Miyamoto, himself, said it, it must be taken as truth.
  3. "The single source for this article itself admits it is merely rumour..." Only part of said article was admittant on rumor, while the majority was true. Plus, there are several references included in Wii 2 other than those from What They Play.
  4. Most Important Of All!!! There will be another Nintendo console. No one can seriously doubt that.

No consensus for the page. Handel's operas exist elsewhere on WP. Shouldn't be in two locations  HWV 258  22:51, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

There is a consensus-driven location for the complete list of Handel's works here, and until the need for sub-pages is reached (by consensus), the List of operas by Handel page serves only to confuse. The main issue with the existence of the newly-created sub-page is that an editor may find it by accident and start to update information on it—with the result that the updates would not benefit the vast majority of readers who will naturally find their way to the official list of Handel's works (as referenced from the main Handel page). There is a debate underway here on whether sub-paging is needed at all, and until that debate is concluded, there is no need for a potentially confusing sub-page.  HWV 258  23:00, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

The sub-page (that is being requested for deletion) was needlessly created in the previous day or two by an editor who is trying to steam-roller an agenda. No one has had the chance to know about the new page, and it would be a pity for it to become established merely to act as a redirect. There are 26 categories in the contents on the page listing Handel's works, and the new page seeks to split off just one of those categories (opera). For the sake of consistency, should we now have to split off the other 25 categories; or, for the sake of consistency, should we now have to create 25 other dummy category pages so they can act as redirect pages as well?
The new page was created without discussion or consensus and upsets the strategy that has been employed for a long time to display Handel's works ( here). The new page was designed to simply split the "complete" works of Handel into two different pages (based on genre). That is not done for other composers, and it doesn't seem right that the practice should start (without discussion or consensus) with Handel. I'm glad that "merge" was mentioned above (as a solution) as that is the exact problem with the recent branch and edit—it precisely unmerges the existing list (for no tangible benefit). With this delete, I'm hoping to return to the existing arrangement as seemlessly as possible so that all of Handel's works are listed on the one page (at least until the community has had a chance to discuss the various options here).
The issue is not about Handel's name. The well-established existing page is known as List_of_compositions_by_George_Frideric_Handel so it can easily be found based on Handel's surname.  HWV 258  01:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • comment This should not have come here--its a dispute over whether to divide an article--at least I think it is, because the content is at present completely duplicated , without anything additional. If it is intended to develop this page further, into a general or summary discussion of the operas (which, of course, almost all of them, properly have separate articles) it should be titled Operas by G F. Handel, or something similar. If it's just a list, the question is whether the main list is so large it should be divided. I've no opinion on that--it is mainly a matter of style and usability. But the present page in its present form does indeed serve no purpose. DGG ( talk) 03:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Of course. Perhaps next time you'll follow WP guidelines and engage in discussion in order to seek consensus before making changes of this magnitude. You have waded into an area edited by hundreds of editors over many years and made sweeping changes—what did you imagine would happen? If you really do have something to contribute to the list of Handel's operas, perhaps you could sandpit your proposed changes to facilitate discussion.

  • The "85K" point is not an issue here. 15 points as to why the split should not have happened (covering page size issues) are listed here. If "85K" was really such an issue, why didn't the user Kleinzach sub-page the largest list on the page of Handel's works (there are many much longer tables than the opera table)? Splitting off sections from a long list page is not a normal process on WP.
  • Listing Mozart operas did not necessitate the deletion of the entire list of operas from the List of Mozart's works page. For some reason, the user Kleinzach felt the need to simply delete the information on the current List of Handel's works with this edit.
  • The Handel entry at Category:Lists of operas by composer can simply point to the current list of Handel's operas.
  • The page in question for this delete request simply serves no purpose, so officially: Delete.  HWV 258  03:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I don't really see what the problem is here. The list seems like it's notable and useful. Further, it has the potential of being so much more than it is right now (something like the List of operas by Mozart could easily be done with Handel). As for content on the list of Handel works, that is something to be decided on that article's talk page between editors not taken to an afd. A further comment to HWV 258, I think you would have done better talking to Kleinzach and asssuming good faith on his part than freaking out. Nrswanson ( talk) 11:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, per Nrswanson. The comparison with the Mozart opera page is a good one; let's develop the Handel page, not axe it. In the meantime I don't see how it cannot qualify in its own right as a WP-article. The objections seem more based on 'empire-building' than on the extension of knowledge.-- Smerus ( talk) 11:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I can see significant benefit to the reader by having all the works on one page. But I can also see significant benefits to the reader to have in addition a page specifically devoted to the operas - provided it can be developed into something like the splendid List of operas by Mozart. Not an exact duplicate of what's on List of compositions by George Frideric Handel, but an amplification of it. It would also have the advantage of being able to use a table format adapted to the kind of detail that's useful to a reader primarily interested in Handel's operas, but may not be desirable on the complete works page. Each page can then have a "see also" link. Voceditenore ( talk) 11:50, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
That's exactly what the initial issue was -- Kleinzach didn't just make this page, he deleted the info out of the list page, essentially implying that operas are important enough for their own page and nothing else is. It's hard to assume good faith when he constantly makes weird edits such as this one and very often skirts the line of WP:OWN. Yes, a list with much expansion would be a very worthwhile thing (sort of akin to a 'series' article for video games or movies or whatever), but operas themselves aren't anything special in the overall grand scheme of the matter to warrant destruction of another article. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ ( talk) 12:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Please see what I wrote above, "To clarify . . ." etc. Here are the recommendations in Wikipedia:Splitting:
>100 KB Almost certainly should be divided.
>60 KB Probably should be divided (although the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading time)
In this case the original page was 85K so splitting off the opera list was a normal WP process. -- Klein zach 12:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
(edit conflict) I think that is a little unfair to Kleinzach (although I can't speak for his behavior elsewhere). After all he was the one who created the initial list of operas to begin with. He was also trying to be in uniform with the series of articles found in Category:Lists of operas by composer which is reasonable. Perhaps it would have been smarter for him to ask first, but I just see him acting under WP:BOLD and not WP:OWN. That being said, I don't see why there isn't room for lists on both pages as voceditenore has wisely suggested. Nrswanson ( talk) 12:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
If "85K" really was so bothersome to Kleinzach, why didn't he split out the (bigger) list of Cantatas and save even more? It's time for Keinzach to declare his real interest in editing areas to do with Handel. Is this a one-off rip (with ownership issues) in order to continue his opera crusade, or does he have any longer-term interest in improving the reader's experience on the List of Handel's works page? The following are eight points taken from the current discussion here that demonstrate why the "85K" is a meaningless smokescreen put up by Kleinzach in his rushed attempt to modify a page to his liking (without discussion or consensus).
  • The current list page does not feature in the Top 1000 "long" pages, and is well short of the length of number 1,000 on that page (which is about 108K in length).
  • Many of the pages in the top 1,000 are list pages, therefore there is ample precedence for allowing longer pages when in a list format.
  • From Article length - Occasional exceptions: "Two exceptions are lists and articles summarizing certain fields". There is therefore basis for arguing that this list page should not be treated in the same category as normal "long pages".
  • Other editors have found it convenient to list composer's works in entirety on "long" pages. E.g. Mozart and Bach are both greater than 85K in length.
  • The Article length page has a section on No need for haste. For a change of this magnitude, there should be time to discuss the options.
  • Due to the way modern browsers work (caching and staggered loading of individual parts of a page), there is not an inordinately long delay before the first (and subsequent) parts of the page are loaded. The breaking into categories of lists (operas, concertos, etc.) on the page help with browser caching and loading.
  • If page size is an issue, what size is being attempted? With modern browsers and ever-increasing bandwidth, surely not the archaic 32K barrier? If not, then what size (40K, 50K, 60K, etc.)?
  • According to Technical issues, an 85K page should take about 13 seconds to load in entirety—and that's with the slowest means possible of connecting to the internet (dial-up). Surely that's not a problem (and getting less of an issue all the time)?
And for the sake of completeness (and to indicate why discussion would have been nice), here are the other seven points from that page:
  • One or two sections alone should not be sub-paged in order to reduce the size of the page. If only a few sections are to be sub-paged, then how to decide? The first, the largest, etc.?
  • If all sections are to be sub-paged, the page would look ridiculous (little more than two sets of Contents).
  • Because of the way the HWV numbering system was devised, and its implementation in separate lists on the page, other pages can link to categories as the page stands. For example, it is easy for another page to link to the List of Handel's operas section without it being on a sub-page.
  • As the page stands, there is extra information in the various lists. I believe that much of that extra information will be moved to pages on individual works as they are created over time. For that reason, the page is not expected to grow much over the current 85K and will, over time, reduce in size.
  • The current format is uncomplicated (no need for multiple-clicking to investigate Handel's works).
  • The page is interesting in itself in terms of providing the reader with an idea of the scale of Handel's works. This would be lost with sub-paging.
  • The strategy of seeing all the works together is utilised on just about all other composer's list pages.

(I do not recognize WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS as applying to this point - this is Handel we're talking about). This list helps serve a function of Wikipedia that a growing number of people seem to have forgotten about -- that it's an online reference tool.

  • Keep and give it some time to develop with a prose overview and more detail than the Opera section on List of compositions by George Frideric Handel and also keep the less detailed opera section in List of compositions by George Frideric Handel. In the Mozart case there's:
  1. Köchel catalogue where all works are listed chronologically with the capacity for the reader to re-order by place, etc. and also in ascending and descending order and an explanation about the catalogue itself.
  2. List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a "selective" (but pretty exhaustive) list of works by genre (including his operas) with only the K number and date, and one of its "daughters"...
  3. List of operas by Mozart with more detailed information about each work as well as a prose overview of the subject.
I'm not suggesting that Handel be treated in the exact same way as Mozart has been, I'm simply pointing out the value of having both a "mother" and a "daughter" list. Obviously, there will be some degree of overlap (as opposed to straight duplication) of information, but I think that's a good thing, and one of the advantages of Wikipedia over a paper encyclopedia. It allows information to be organized and presented in a variety of ways and degrees of detail that can be helpful to different types of readers or to the same reader depending on what they need. Incidentally, I'm amazed that there's no link to Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis from List of compositions by George Frideric Handel. Not every reader will know what HWV stands for. Likewise a "see also" direct link to the complete list from Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis would be helpful. In any case, what should be paramount in this discussion should be the best way(s) to provide a good reader experience, not personal animosities or perceived past "misdeeds".

I no longer think the page should be deleted. I reacted (too quickly) to the sudden removal of information from the List of compositions by George Frideric Handel page with this edit [7] (which was made without discussion or consensus). As there was no statement of direction as to what else was to be deleted from the page, I merely wished to return to the existing arrangement in order for time for community discussion. Now that I have confidence that nothing will be deleted from the List of Compositions page, I can see value in having the Opera list page.

Hmm. It is useful to the reader to have different lists of works of the same composer, for example by date/work number etc. It's not useful to duplicate the same list on different pages. That's confusing for the reader, especially in this case where one list ( List of operas by Handel) has been developed and edited, and the other one ( List_of_compositions_by_George_Frideric_Handel#Operas) hasn't. -- Klein zach 01:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply
The list doesn't have to be exactly the same (indeed it already isn't). I will however fight very hard to keep a list of Handel's operas (in some format) on the List of compositions by George Frideric Handel page. There is much that a complete list page can deliver to the reader. There will have to be wider community support for the removal of the entire list at that page, however that is a discussion for another place and time.  HWV 258  02:10, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

This is a very bad example of list fragmentation: totally unnecessary and indeed potentially damaging to the reader who has gone to the "List of Handle's works" page to get a comprehensive overview.

  • Comment. Microsoft Office looks like spam too, so what? The subject is notable, simply because it's worth billions. But, unlike mass products, there's not a lot of public sources on bespoke systems. Those who know the systems make money by this knowledge; the users (like yours truly) keep quiet as prescribed by their profession. If, after seven years of Wikipedia existence, the community failed to write a proper article on one of two heavyweights in the area - then it just won't be done, ever. Perhaps it will indeed be better to replace this sorry stub with a redir to SAP_AG#products. NVO ( talk) 02:00, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

This is not an independent degree-granting institution but rather an administrative unit within Xinjiang Medical University and it has no independent notability from the university. The only reference cited does not even mention the college. The link given as official website is the main website of the university and the link from there to the college is empty [10]. No coverage by independent reliable sources or even by non-independent primary sources here, so all the info in the article, apart from the fact that the college exists, is non-verifiable. There is no verifiable info here to merge to Xinjiang Medical University and in fact the only place in this article where the college itself is even discussed is in the first paragraph. The name is also rather unlikely as a search item so does not merit a redirect. Fails WP:V, WP:N and WP:ORG and should be plain deleted. Nsk92 ( talk) 19:09, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Did you try to find sources or useful links? It's easy to delete without trying. - Mgm| (talk) 20:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Additional comment for clarification purposes. Despite its name, this is neither a college nor a university in the sense this term is usually understood. Rather, this is an administrative subdivision (a group of departments) within a university, the kind that is usually headed by the Dean, similar to "College of Arts and Sciences" or "College of Engineering" that most U.S. universities have. Such entities are sometimes independently notable, but fairly rarely. In this case there is absolutely no evidence of notability of this college and in fact no sources, even of primary and non-independent nature, regarding its existence, apart from an empty link at the university's webpage. There is absolutely nothing to merge here as the article contains no verifiable information. The fact that the college exists is already mentioned in Xinjiang Medical University article. That is as much as one can do here. And to answer the above question, yes, I had looked for sources and found nothing. Even a plain google search produces just 38 hits [11], most are mirrors/clones of the Wikipedia article and none that would come close to passing WP:RS.

And why do you think that this statement is incorrect? That is what both the main article about the university and the main university webpage appear to imply.

Moreover, if you look at the main Xinjiang Medical University website [13], the college is listed there as an item in the same menu as Department of Physical Education and Department of humanities and social science.

"That is what both the main article about the university and the main university webpage appear to imply" - quite; you have made an assumption from the article rather than a conclusion based on fresh information.

See my comment above. No, I did not just make an assumption based on the article. I also looked at the university's website, at the chinese government website cited and did some google searching. There is nothing to indicate that the college is an idependent degree-granting institution and every reason to think otherwise. If someone finds some sources to show that I am wrong about this (and I did look myself), I would certainly withdraw my nomination.

  • Redirect to Xinjiang Medical University. The "college" is not an independent degree granting institution. As a sub-unit of the university that has no independent notability, then as per WP:ORG, the college deosn't meet the notability inclusion guidelines.

That is a possibility, but this seems a rather unlikely search term to need a redirect.

  • Keep If you take this college's name in Chinese there are plenty of verifble sources - the fact that said sources are not in the English language does not mean this article should be deleted - we are not looking for notablilty in the Western world. Please note that the founder of Wikipedia wants to create the sum of all human knowledge here, and if you look under the reasons for deletion, you can read the following "The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth." There are plenty of sources in the Chinese langauage. Let's not be culturally imperialistic. Moreover this style of college is represented if it is in the States or the UK - I would say that we shouldn't be trying to delete this articel but requesting verifible sources.

But regardless of that, I was referring primarily to notability, not bias. The fact that someone who lived 300 years ago and had a surname has umpteen thousand descendants living today isn't a basis for assessing notability. Having umpteen thousand descendants living today isn't a distinguishing feat for someone who lived 300 years ago. Notable families are along the lines of Kennedys (specifically, descendants of Joseph P.), Bushes (back to Prescott, at least), Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Barrymores, Gandhis, Bronfmans, Roosevelts (in no particular order). —Largo Plazo ( talk) 22:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC) reply

    • Comment I feel compelled to comment again, User:TopGearFreak is correct the arguments being used would mean that we should have an article on every company that any info can be found about on the web, albeit he is possibly being sarcastic to make a point. User:ChildofMidnight seems to be saying that we keep any article that is written in an 'encyclopedic' form and is on a company that has existed for 30 years. Cashmaster is a reputable company, I am sure, who produce good cash counting machines but that does not mean they should appear in an encyclopedia. There must also be at least some doubt about whether the two main contributors to the article are of a neutral point of view as expressed by User:Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth. Paste ( talk) 08:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply
My argument would support keeping any article on a company 30 years old that is notable and has an encyclopedic article. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 17:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply
That's certainly a logical and sensible position to take. I agree with it entirely; we should keep articles that are encyclopedic and are about a notable subject. However, I don't think that this article is about a notable subject, and much of the article reads like an unencyclopedic advertisement, so I think this article fails to match the position that we should keep encyclopedic articles about notable subjects. Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth ( talk) 00:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply
You're welcome to fix any elements in the article that aren't appropriate. As far as its notability, it's not a clear cut case. It has some citations, but they could be better. At least we strongly agree about what we disagree about. :) ChildofMidnight ( talk) 01:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I must agree with User:ChildofMidnight here. The argument is starting to move away from the notability of the subject and more towards the credibility and neutral position of myself. As is part of wikipedia lisitngs, the listing is not owned by the initial publisher but is free to be edited by everybody in order to improve it and make it more credible. I feel that enough arguments have been made to support the notability of the article but I do agree that improvements may be necessary to make it conform to all guidelines. I would like to state that this is not my responsibility to fix this and therefore my or any other users neutral view point has no more bearing on the argument. Also in reply to the comment made by User:TopGearFreak that he has never heard of the company before as a reason for deletion, this is surely not a valid arguement when the whole point in an encyclopedia is to educate and inform. I hardly believe that anybody has heard of every company that has an article about them on wikipedia. Nor do I feel that an international company with offices in many different countries can be compared to a family run sweet shop with a handful of employees. Stewart1985 ( talk) 09:59, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply
The discussion is solidly on the notability of the corporation. I looked at the article's references and commented on them above. The references barely give any information at all. The offices could be mail drops for all we know. (This is very common, and not a slight on Cashmaster, but it does mean that they're not some continent-striding behemoth. :) Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth ( talk) 23:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Neither myself or the references claim that the company is 'some continent-striding behemoth' and neither do the rules for wikipedia state that the company in question has to be a worldwide cash cow. My argument is that comparing this company to a sweet shop is not a necessary argument to make for deletion. The fact that it is not factual is one thing and the blatantly obvious point that it is clear sarcasm just supports my point that it is not a valid argument. Just like a wikipedia article this argument must be based on fact and notability, not on someones personal opinion of the company. I'm sure there are many other companies with articles on wikipedia with one office and less staff than Cashmaster. Not to divert from this argument but to support mine further, Avalon Guitars is one of many companies that I have found in the same catagory as Cashmaster that has been around for a lot less time. Further more they have a lot more information but their only reference is their own website. If this is acceptable for the way it is written then surely the Cashmaster article with a much greater number of references can be edited in a way that is deemed more acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stewart1985 ( talk • contribs) 09:25, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't an argument that's considered to be persuasive. Speaking to the other comments made here, I feel that you're focusing on the way people are saying things and not on what they say. Please look beyond an editor's humorous ways of putting things and engage directly with the meat of the arguments. There are no references that show notability in the article. My comment at 07:20, 18 November 2008 details this. Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth ( talk) 10:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Comment I wasn't just commenting on just the suitability of the refernces but also on yours and User:TopGearFreak comments that because you have never heard of Cashmaster that this is a reason for deletion. If you look back User:TopGearFreak never mentioned anything to do with the references. Sugar coating these kind of comments in humour and sarcasm doesn't make them valid or factual. My main reasoning for pointing to another article was that not hearing about a company is not a valid reason for deletion. You have backed up your opinion saying the same thing on several occasions, the comment made by User:TopGearFreak is only personal opinion. As for your comment on the size of the organisation this has no bearing on the argument whether you are relating it to the references or not. The article doesn't claim the company is a massive international company only that they do have offices in other countries. The size of these is not important to the notability of the company and therefore I feel it brings nothing to the argument mentioning it especially in a sarcastic way.

Why not "List of films where all cast members are deceased" or "List of congress' where all members are deceased"? It may be unusual right now for all members of a band to be deceased, but in the future it will be much more commonplace (not WP:CRYSTAL, everyone dies, so this list will just grow). As well, this list also seems to be ill-defined and just applies to the rock-era, but forgets things like ensembles (which are basically bands and date back to the classical era), or even Jazz bands and Big bands." -- Scorpion 0422 16:13, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

    Comment Actually, record companies assert ownership of the names of bands and put up groups of musicians to "be" numerous famous rock bands, regardless of whether anyone is still living who was in the band when it originally became famous. In the concert band and big band world, it is common for "recreated" bands of Glenn Miller or John Phillip Sousa to play the charts of the famous bands of a bygone era. Ditto for some of the famous Motown bands. It is not clear that was the intent of the article creators. Edison ( talk) 02:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Since it seems to be an indiscriminate list of musical groups the authors like, mainly rock bands, but including the The Mills Brothers, who were a pre-rock vocal quartet, and never a "band." Then look at all the famous concert bands, like John Phillip Sousa's Band, all of whose members are likely deceased (apologies if any live 76 years after Sousa's death). Clearly there were countless famous 19th century and earlier bands all of whose members are deceased. How about the early 20th century jazz bands? Buddy Bolden's band broke up in 1907 when he went mad. King Oliver's band shut down well before his death in 1938. Any alums still living? How about the Big Bands. Any Fletcher Henderson alums around who were in his band up to its disbanding in 1939? Or are there living veterans of the Glenn Miller band before his 1944 disappearance? Then the list includes, amazingly enough, rock bands some of whose members are identified as still living. Edison ( talk) 02:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

      • Exactly. Are there any sources on the subject? Sure, lots of fairy tales include princes slaying dragons, but do we have access to academic or other third-party sources that discuss 'dragonslaying' as a concept? Would certainly make a fascinating article if we do, one I would definitely read. // roux    06:25, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The fact that Calvert Watkins called his book on common formal elements in Indo-European poetry How to Kill a Dragon (warning: not actually useful for the purpose advertised) suggests that this is a shared myth. Too lazy to do the work myself, but a google scholar search with "dragon slayer" + myth gets a lot of plausible looking results. N p holmes ( talk) 09:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
such as the chapter titled "The Dragon Slayer" in a classic book and [15] and [16] and [17] "no published discussion of 'dragonslayers as a topic' " indeed. There seems to be an assumption here that the academic fields of of the humanities does not exist, or does not include such things, or that, with figures such as Siegried and Beowulf et al, nobody would think of publishing a comparison or general discussion.

Article about a popular Macedonian song, was previously kept as "no consensus". The song is probably "notable", in the sense of being quite popular in its culture, but we have no notable and verifiable encyclopedic information about it. Zilch, nada, nothing, after over a year of editing. Editors haven't even been able to work out whether the song was composed by a named author or is from a genuine oral folk tradition. Article consists almost entirely of the song's lyrics (which may well be copyrighted, if it is a composed work). Don't be fooled by the "external links", they don't contain anything substantial either. The only thing this article is good for is to attract nationalist edit-warring over whether to present it as a "Macedonian" or "Bulgarian" song or both.

The only two possibly reliable sources I found were this one (dubious) which showed a performance, and this one in a language I can't read.

  • Weak keep, with a clear need for improvements to the article. Since pretty much every railway station, extant and extinct, in the United Kingdom (and I expect other western countries too) is included in Wikipedia, it seems like there's something not quite right about discounting one from Pakistan which in fact has quite a lot of information. I realise as I write this that my argument is almost a question of whether all the UK ones are notable! So to put it another way, railway stations are fundamentally important to the development of their surrounding communities, so I'd say this article's subject is notable in the context of the Larkana region. – Kieran T ( talk) 14:44, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

(it's obviously staffed, otherwise a booking office doesn't make sense). And really, having a booking office is not something worthy to note in an article.

Unless theres some more source information, its safer to delete than declare the wrong person dead. BritishWatcher ( talk) 15:41, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

notability of the school stems from its controversial founding, since the university has always been a 'tech' based Uni. i'm having trouble finding appropriate references to back this up, however, aside from some blogposts in Indonesian. basically, to most Indonesian, ITB is the MIT of Indonesia, and now it opens a business school (much like Sloan-MIT), breaking the tradition of ITB's research-based ways. will continue to update throughout the week, including history, areas of study, etc. A.yoga ( talk) 01:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete It's pretty obvious the 'resume' is padded, otherwise he would have specified the roles sung. I've checked the cast lists for the performances listed in the article and there's no mention of him. If he was in them at all he was in the chorus. Note that virtually all the productions mentioned are with semi-professional companies, youth programs, opera workshops, or student productions. Filumena at the Banff Centre is just one example. When I edited the article to remove the hype, I edited out the statement: "At twenty years old, Dustin has been hailed as "Canada's next great opera star" by Canadian Idol judge, Sass Jordan" If he's only twenty years old and already singing leading roles with leading companies, and widely considered to be "Canada's next great opera star" he'd be in the press somewhere, and these are all I found [18] [19]. I've searched under both Dustin Hiles and Dustin Lee Hiles both with and without quotes and Google News all dates. I also have access to specialist opera publications - nothing. Incidentally there is no mention of him on the Canadian Idol web site either. If he was in it, it must have been a local heat. I also left this message on the creator's talk page [20], alerting him/her to the problems with the article but nothing has been done to address the issues. I wish Hiles well in his chosen career, but he doesn't really have one yet, and certainly not a notable one. Voceditenore ( talk) 14:59, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

The content is already listed on List of Marilyns in England. Cornwall is not a separate country in the same way that England, Scotland, Wales, etc. are.

  • Delete I was very afraid this was a list of women named Marilyn who lived in some geographic unit, and was greatly relieved that a "Marilyn" is a small hill. Why not refer to them as "hills" for better comprehension by English speakers worldwide? This is apparently a neologism in response to hills somewhere else being called "Munros," and a play on Marilyn Monroe. Hills 150 meters (482 feet) high are as common as dirt around the world, so as to be non-notable. In fact, I own one. Edison ( talk) 02:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Comment "Hills 150 meters (482 feet) high are as common as dirt", but that's not the only definition of one. Lugnuts ( talk) 09:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Comment. Just to clarify, hills satisfying the criteria for Marilyns are not especially common in England — there are only 180 of them, 84% of which have Wikipedia articles. The fact that they are unusually prominent hills by English standards is what makes the notable; no-one is disputing that if they were situated in the Himalaya, they would not be notable. Also, as Lugnuts hints at, the Marilyns are not simply hills that are 150 m high—they rise 150 m above the surrounding countryside, which is something quite different. (See topographic prominence for a discussion on how to rigorously define "rising 150 m above their surroundings".) — ras52 ( talk) 12:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Update jvfulcher has been discussing the matter on the talk page, and it appears Saami Shaibani has been an expert witness in a lot of murder trials apart from the two mentioned here, so that may qualify for notability provided this is sufficiently covered in reliable secondary sources. I'm keeping my vote as delete at the moment because I think it would be better to scrap this article and start again from scratch, but with the caveat that if the article is re-created in a form that addresses the notability and neutrality concerns, it can stay. Chris Neville-Smith ( talk) 17:32, 23 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Hmm. I still think that, even if a passable notability case is established, the current page must be deleted first. It is one giant unsalvageable WP:BLP, WP:SOAPBOX and WP:BATTLE violation.

  • Update This article has gone through a massive change, almost every sentence in the article is referenced from major news outlets (USA Today, Chicago Tribune, and the AP) or Public Domain court documents. The court documents can be obtained by anyone from the Clerk of Court in Hyde County, SD or the Clerk of Court in Durham County, NC. All the documents are public domain, and not confidential. I also have listed the many papers, articles, and patent by Dr. Saami Shaibani. Currently I have 6 criminal murder trials that he has been an expert witness in, some of these trials are being appealed, so they are very notable, high-profile trials. I also changed the article to only present facts from news and court documents, like I said, almost all sentences are referenced. I believe this is a notable, NPOV, and verifible article. Let me know if something needs to be updated. jvfulcher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:08, 25 November 2008 (UTC). reply
  • Comment The USA Today article does now suggest that Saami Shaibani does have some notability outside of a single murder trial. However, if the USA Today article [23] is anything to go by, I must advise that once the article is written to accurately reflect all of the third-party sources, it may well end up portraying him in a far less positive light than you hoped for. Chris Neville-Smith ( talk) 18:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I believe the most recent event, The David Aesoph Appeal, paints the most recent picture. With that in mind, the press has not done their research on this. The documents I presented exist in the public domain and no news outlet has found this information. The only people to see the documents were people involved in the Aesoph Appeal in Hyde County. All of the third-party sources list two major points: Perjury in the Peterson trial (or padded credentials) and the Plude and O'Brien retrial and appeal, which I just added to the Plude/O'Brien trial section with a reference. There is no reason to relist those points multiple times. The major information is all listed in the article, I didn't include quotes from the AP reporter, Ryan Foley. I only included that there was a trial, Dr. Saami Shaibani was involved, and if there is a retrial or appeal now. The article points out the two valid overall points: 2003 accused of perjury, then in 2006 found to be credible.

With all that said, I know there is always a risk on Wikipedia. jvfulcher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC). reply

  • Update Another edit, removed all sentences that are not verified in the court documents, testimonies, or quotes/facts from the actual murder trials. No reporter or press quotes. No editorial spin, just coping and pasting sentences from the courts. All the positives and negatives are included, only listed once each. Was that a vote for keep Chris? Let me know if I have missed something and I will fix it. jvfulcher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC). reply
  • Delete. The purpose of this article appears to be supporting the subject's credibility as an expert witness. This appears to be soapboxing and violating the neutral point of view. It also is lacking in context by failing to clearly describe the circumstances of his credibility being called into question in the first place. If this ever were to be an article of decent quality, it would look very different from how it looks now. We would probably be better off deleting this and letting the article be started over once the subject's notability becomes more apparent. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:09, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Update Another edit to address Metropolitan90's concerns, moved the highest profile trial (Peterson) to number one position in article. I don't think the article supports one claim more than another now, whether Shaibani is found credible or not. Also added context to describe the circumstances of his credibility being called into question during the Peterson trial. Also included references to those said circumstances. A google search returns 773 hits on "saami shaibani" (in quotes), over 9,000 hits on saami shaibani (no quotes). Hits are mostly about Peterson, O'Brien, Plude, and Aesoph trials. I think that notability is there. Should the large list of papers be scaled down? I can understand that point. I don't understand how this is soapboxing. jvfulcher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC). reply
  • Comment I am trying to understand the notability concerns. From looking at other Wiki articles, such as John H. Smith (mathematician), I think Shaibani is much more notable and has more publications. If the John H. Smith (mathematician) article is classified as WP:PROF, then I should add "formerly of Virginia Tech". His position at Virginia Tech was never questioned in court as well. Suggestions appreciated. jvfulcher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:58, 26 November 2008 (UTC). reply
    • I don't have time to check this in detail right now, but the fact that an article exists on Wikipedia doesn't necessarily prove the subject is notable - it merely means that no-one has successfully nominated the article for deletion yet. However, the issue of notability doesn't matter now. I think there's little doubt that Saami Shaibani qualifies as notable (just not necessarily the thing he'd like to be notable for). The issue now is whether this article is appropriate coverage in Wikipedia, particularly Neutral Point of View. Chris Neville-Smith ( talk) 22:43, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply

To prepare yourself for what is about to happen, I strongly suggest you read the following: WP:OWN, WP:NOR, WP:V, and for good measure (especially in relation to formatting references) WP:MOS.

    • Comment: While there's an article talking about its replacement, I don't necessarily see that making this span particularly notable or worthy of its own article. I'm sure if you were to do a search you'll find dozens of articles a year discussing upcoming bridge replacements. The fact is that we're talking about a 125-foot long bridge [1] over a small river that's currently closed. Even when the bridge is rebuilt, it just is for a minor county road and probably won't have more than a couple hundred cars a day. Brian Powell ( talk) 17:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Crystal Ball speculation as to the "probably" low-importance in the future is not a proper Wikipedia method to decide notability. While you might not think this bridge is important, it actually was important enough for secondary sources to write in-depth articles about it. Not only can a 125 foot bridge be notable, but a 25 foot bridge can be too. Length has absolutely nothing to do with notability. -- Oakshade ( talk) 21:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply
        • Comment: I'm not sure that your comment about WP:CRYSTAL really applies here - that deals with prediction of future events. That's not what we're debating. We're discussing if this bridge is notable and unique enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Based on what has been developed in this article over the least 2 years, the only discussion in the newspaper articles as being of the difficulty in finding replacement funding until 25 years after the bridge was closed, and the extremely rural low-traffic nature of the area [2], I don't see that this bridge justifies an article on its own. As part of a larger article about Bayard or bridges of the Upper North Branch Potomac, maybe. Brian Powell ( talk) 22:12, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

It is therefore a (now out-of-date) duplicate of the CLSM article. While making it a redirect to CLSM initially seemed to be the best option, as explained above, the connection with this band cannot be verified at present, and so deletion appears to be the only option. If Colin Meon can be verified as the name of a person involved in this group, surely it will be simple enough to create a redirect from that name in the future? -- DAJF ( talk) 10:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

    • Comment the references show nothing of notability, local coverage of issues related to funding and expansion. Ones that I'd venture a guess are issues every library faces. I know local ones in two places I've lived have had similar issues and they're not notable either. Closed or not doesn't matter, it doesn't get notability for having been closed.

(And obviously any particular library can be notable for some reason as an exception, just like anything else.)i On the other hand, if people want to interpret this broadly, on the basis that libraries are intrinsically so important that almost any established one is notable on the basis of its importance to the education of the community, I can't see how a librarian like me would object to it--but, honestly, I don't think we've reached that degree of public understanding quite yet, although I'm pleased to see so many wikipedians think so. :).

Moonshine, Illinois (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Nom and opine...
...Del. We have a long-standing practice (since a bot was run around 5-6 years ago to create them) of documenting every census designated place in the US Census. This is a place -- but not a CDP. It is not a town, village, or borough, but apparently a store-cum-residence plus outhouse that would have gotten a dot on a map during the seven years that the building was a post office, and presumably every mapmaker over the 130 years since it stopped handling mail has felt obliged. The only people living in this "place" own it. Apparently a national TV reporter liked the burger or conversation they got there, and did a local-color piece in, uh, Sunday morning Prime Time. IMO terminally non-notable.

Full disclosure: There are 5 articles for US places this size, and 5 smaller (pop. 1) -- and some that have no population -- but all of them appear to be CDPs. The one i'm familiar with probably sleeps on the order of hundreds before winter closes its dirt roads to all but snow machines and maybe some timber trucks, and has numerous people gainfully employed in it, in two distinct industries -- trash burial and lumbering.

-- Jerzy• t 03:03, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. If the place was notable once (as it clearly would have been when the building was a post office and consequently a center of commerce), then it does not stop being notable even if the population drops to zero. The idea that notability does not expire is a fundamental part of Wikipedia's definition of notability. But apart from that, the news coverage makes it notable. Consider this paragraph from Living History:Moonshine, Illinois : "In early 2004, CBS Sunday morning program even featured the store, with film clips from the early gathering of locals for coffee at 6AM, all the way through the noon guests of this eatery. During the hour and a half show, many "teaser" clips kept building the story of the reporter's quest to find this location in the wilderness." And GNIS has a listing at U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Moonshine, Illinois-- Eastmain ( talk) 04:37, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - As far I can comprehend, the nom just throws up red herring arguments. Just because a place is not a census designated place doesn't mean it's not notable. A place can be notable for many other reasons. Being featured on the national CBS News Sunday Morning show, featured prominently in at least one book [25], very extensively in this online article and even featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer and Chicago Tribune [26] [27] demonstrates passing WP:NOTABILITY. That the nom doesn't like the reason it passes WP:NOTABILITY ("a national TV reporter liked the burger or conversation they got there") does absolutely nothing to change its notability. I should also point out that historic towns and cities are still notable for historic reasons.-- Oakshade ( talk) 05:30, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • KEEP There are many places that dont have post offices and low population. The town I live in and haved lived in my whole life doesn't have an exact population, is unincorporated, and no post office Meadows, Illinois. There are several websites that refer to it and when I go thru it again I will provide a picture as I see one is being requested. The beauty of Wikipedia is the fact that you can search extremely unknown towns and learn about them. If we keep eliminating everything that isn't big and well known, we will lose alot of our heritage. And that would be sad. If it would appease you, I will re-write this, as it was one of my first wiki pages I created and probably is pretty crude. Stangboy7 ( talk) 05:36, 22 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - This place has been notable, as indicated by the references in the article; it is notable partly because of the attention it has received, which in turn is partly because of its extremely small population. In a nutshell, it's a special place. Even if it ceased to exist entirely, it would still be notable in a historical sense, and from my perspective Wikipedia has a substantial historical component.

Clearly, the self-promotional issues that doomed the earlier article were removed here. What remains now is a decent little stub.

  • RE: Capital Retail Park

I feelthat this page should stay because it provides relevant information about the retail park which is being built. This retail park does not really have much to do wit the CCFC/Blues stadium and is part of a development to improve Leckwith. The new staium page should not mention in detail and should have a link to the retail park page instead. I don't feel that this is an advertisement as the status column shows the development as it progresses. Your point about other retail parks in the UK is valid, however I live in Cardiff and am writing about a retail park that I use and lso live near. It is up to people who live near the retail parks (and also other features in the town/city) to make/edit the articles.

    • Comment. As I stated above, more than enough information is included in the New Cardiff City stadium article. There is no need even for the Leckwith Development page either, which serves as little more than a bunch of links. Nouse4aname ( talk) 09:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply
      • Comment. ... and it needs moving out of New Cardiff City stadium! That article should deal just with the stadium whilst Leckwith Development should take an overview and deal in more detail with those parts of the development that are not individually notable; that's what will move it from being a link farm!. It is not a case of deleting this page more where the content goes. TerriersFan ( talk) 11:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply
        • I'm not convinced that the Leckwith Development is notable aside from the stadium - it can't just borrow notability from the new football ground. I don't see how a minor athletics ground, a retail park and a housing estate can be either individually or collectively notable. If they weren't part of the football ground construction, would we even consider an article for them? Nouse4aname ( talk) 12:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC) reply
          • A lot of people don't consider the athletics stadium 'minor' and the demolition of its predecessor was controversial. [29] There are more than sufficient sources to stand up a page on what is a major development, in my view. TerriersFan ( talk) 03:27, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Merge/redirect and I too agree that info about a Retail Park does not belong in a Article about a Stadium. However, a 'Parent' Article of the group that is the force behind all this redevelopment does seem notable when the entire scope of developments is considered. Once the junk is trimmed out, this (the current Capital Retail Park Article) would make an excellent 'section' in that Article. So to would a 'section' about the Stadium. The current Leckwith Development is in serious need of a cleanup and Cite'ing if it is to survive any AfD itself though. Exit2DOS2000• T• C• 06:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Makeup artist for a handful of productions. Doesn't appear to be notable per WP:BIO. There doesn't appear to be any sources for a biographical article available...only the 5-10 credits as a makeup artist and/or hair stylist. Contested prod. Onorem ♠ Dil 19:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Being the makeup artist for 8 movies does not fulfill the requirements for bios of entertainers or actors. No evidence of significant awards, or notability demonstrated from third party sources, or that she has made groundbreaking advances in her field, therfore fails WP notability requirements, and should be deleted. Theseeker4 ( talk) 19:42, 17 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Nor should it fulfill these requirements. A makeup artist is neither an entertainer nor an actor. I believe other rules apply, though I have not found which those would be yet. - Mgm| (talk) 09:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Conflict of interest is not a valid reason for deletion. One of the sources states "[Rihanna's] “Bitch Im Special” was written and produced by Multi-platinum producer Chad B..." Even if that cannot be confirmed. Producers who worked with that many well-known artists, clearly had an effect on the music scene, and are thus notable. - Mgm| (talk) 08:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC) reply

      • The article's subtitle: "UPDATE: PRESS RELEASE: NEW RIHANNA LEAKED DEMO"; from the site's About page: "Miss Xpose a.k.a 'The Skirt with Dirt'... her gossip blog 'Miss Xpose’s Blog Spot'... has given Miss Xpose the opportunity to launch her own gossip website". I do believe that he could be notable, I just don't know that he is yet. I haven't checked all of his song credits to see if any of them have been hits. With all the self-promotion, I doubt it—it would have been front and center in the article. It would appear that the most notable thing he has done (or may have done, in the absence of reliable sources) is produced a Rihanna track that was leaked. Even with a source, that's still not very notable. I did find that Chad Beats and Chad Beatz have both been deleted numerous times in the past and are now salted.
