The "record label" isn't notable either, and appears to just be him.

Despite having 59 citations, I cannot find a single one in the current article that is actually acceptable. There are about a half-dozen primary sources from the SEC, citations to its Terms of Use, primary sources for promotional information about its awards (see WP:ORGAWARDS), and junk sources to describe its products. Investopedia is cited a few times.

Doing my own searches, I mostly only found short blurbs, press releases, and articles about the SEC and other US authorities prohibiting Banc De Binary from operating in the US without registering as a broker. (a short article on "SEC vs Banc De Binary" may be possible), but practically speaking there is nothing worth salvaging in the current article and any editor that choses to cover it would be better off starting from scratch.

  • Question I see an article in the WSJ; I also see some in the Daily Mail-- I know we do not rely on it for BLP, but is its financial reporting considered responsible? DGG ( talk ) 03:24, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per all the reasons stated in the recent AfD debate, where a swarm of SPAs tried to delete the article to conceal all the "bad news" about the company. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:52, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Yes, some of the _dozens_ of cites are not useful to demonstrate notability, but some are. Sources from the SEC are not "primary"--this is not an article about the SEC. In addition to the SEC, I see cites from the Financial Mirror, The Independent, the The Wall Street Journal, etc. -- Hobbes Goodyear ( talk) 04:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • If we're talking about numbers, then such sources are primary, and to say otherwise is to misunderstand "primary" (or "secondary"). Drmies ( talk) 22:55, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Hobbes Goodyear. There are reliable sources in there. I can also see the Daily Mail. BethNaught ( talk) 06:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Well, User:BethNaught, see above. And which ones are reliable? Not the Daily Mail, surely--we shouldn't cite gossip tabloid to make a case for a company's notability by our standards. Drmies ( talk) 22:55, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy keep We just had an AfD on this article two weeks ago. Enough already. John Nagle ( talk) 06:48, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep When this article was initially created, it was puffery and nominated for deletion. At the time, the article creator said as follows: "I created this article as well as improving the article about the founder of the company. I believe the company to be notable as it is the only binary option platform that is regulated. In addition, it has won the World Finance 100 Award and was recognized as the Best Trading Platform by World Finance. There are additional references about the company on the founder's article as well (MSN.com Arabia, World Finance, and the Financial Times). Thank you for the consideration given." Sounds good enough for me. Coretheapple ( talk) 13:55, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: The Independent is a blurb in which Banc is quoted/mentioned, The Wall Street Journal is about the lawsuit from SEC regulators (the lawsuit could warrant its own article), The Dail Mail looks like an op-ed, but I'm not sure. I don't actually see a Financial Times, MSN or World Finance sources in the article, so I don't know what sources are being referred to there. The awards do not remotely make them notable. Bad COI behavior is not a rationale for keeping the article. I see no evidence that the company (rather than the lawsuit we could start an article on) meets WP:CORP or that if it did, the current article would be worth keeping rather than starting from scratch. CorporateM ( Talk) 14:13, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
The company initiated this article in furtherance of its corporate purposes, which according to the U.S. government are apparently to separate investors from their money. It unleashed an army of sockpuppets in furtherance of that goal, and recently offered a five-figure sum to ensure that Wikipedia would continue to be part of its marketing plan. In a situation like this, I think that, for the benefit of the public, we need to bend over backward to keep this article and source it correctly. Primary sources are not prohibited, and may be used when they don't require interpretation, as is the case here. Corporations are not people, and this is an excellent example of why they should not be treated as such in Wikipedia. Coretheapple ( talk) 15:50, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
The company apparently wanted to delete this article because of the negative publicity it gets from it. The article from over a year ago, was a totally different story. Dream Focus 22:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply
You are so right! And there's a reason for the article being negative publicity, which reason I am trying to assemble at talk. Sure, I assisted in getting it frozen, but there is a strong inertia against even defining what company is the subject of the article when the article relies on an outdated CFTC source that later self-corrected. That is, if edits attempting to properly disambiguate BDB Ltd from BDB Svcs Ltd can't even be countenanced, the entrenchment against this subject is deep indeed. You seem like the sort of person who might have suggestions useful for me at article talk or user talk. I'd appreciate it. (It's true, I have received an email from BDB before, but I don't want to be accused of COI.) Okteriel ( talk) 23:05, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. While the website may be important to the community it serves, it has received virtually no attention in independent published sources; a caption in a photo in PinkPaper.com is all that can be cited, and that does not rise to the requirement of "multiple sources" with "significant coverage" described in Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Also, the photo caption seems to be wrong about the site launching in December 2008; there is a book that cites a 2007 BenGAYliz article (search for "bengayliz" in books.google.com), and blog posts and other non-reliable web sources refer to BenGAYliz before then. Agyle ( talk) 00:05, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Although it's a social networking site, it has always been a non profitable site and have been serving for the small minority community that is a community within a minority community it self (meaning Bangladesh being a prominently a Islamic country strictly abided by Bangladeshi penal code "section 377", making homosexuality illegal). Though it's based in UK, the website itself is a way of protesting for the legalisation of homosexuality in Bangladesh, and not only that but people do gain access to various source of information such as where to find relevant help with regards to sexual health, health centres, coping with homophobia and dealing with stress etc caused by dealing with sexuality, all of which can be of great helping sources regardless of sexual orientation. benGAYliz has been used as source of reference in many newspapers, Wordpress blogs, academic literature as well as many LGBT websites. So yes it is a note able source which can be verified if searched in Google by typing "bengayliz". LGBTIBANGLADESH 15:29, 7 June 2014 LGBTIBANGLADESH ( talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

LGBTIBANGLADESH, this decision is going to hinge only on independent coverage in published sources like newspapers and academic literature; Wordpress blogs and community websites are generally not considered "reliable sources" on Wikipedia (see WP:RS), and the website's importance, purpose, and usefulness have no bearing on this question of notability (which again, depends on independent coverage of the topic). I searched fairly extensively for English-language sources using Google and came up with very little; if you can link any newspaper or academic articles with significant (or even modest) coverage about the website, in any language, please link them here, so that people can consider them.

  • Keep (1)There are two references both kosher per wp:rs, (2) the site is notable because it is the first such site in the kingdom. (3) The caption isn't wrong the launch succeeded the site's creation by some years. Yogesh Khandke ( talk) 14:36, 10 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • That they are reliable sources (i.e. meet WP:RS) doesn't mean the subject's presence in them constitute "significant coverage in reliable sources." It's the "significant coverage" in question here. One source just has it in a long list and the other mentions something important, but does so only briefly in a photo caption. I agree being the first such site is important, but we need to be more to go on. --— Rhododendrites talk |  14:49, 10 June 2014 (UTC) reply
      • Agree with the fact that the coverage isn't significant, the site caters to a minority within a minority, it was taken cognisance of by an official programme. Yogesh Khandke ( talk) 14:55, 10 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment for closer: Please consider more deeply than the ratio of keep and delete opinions. The two cited sources that mention the subject are extremely deficient, and the arguments in favor of keeping never address the lack of significant reliable source coverage.

This album was never made. It was the working title for an album that Peter Gabriel was working on many years ago but he then abandoned it and even Gabriel has stated that nothing was ever finished and that it was just some ideas he had for an album. It doesn't warrant being an article because it obviously fails notability. Glamoria ( talk) 21:16, 14 May 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete As the lead says "Gabriel stated that he had not actually completed the recording of any songs for I/O and that the project was merely a set of "song ideas" which remain unfinished"...No real value that I can see.

  • Keep WP:NOTDIRECTORY does not fit as a criticism of this particular article, as a quick glance will show. Additionally, oppose per WP:LIST, and WP:MOS. At Wikipedia lists have a purpose. This list fits perfectly into two of the three purposes. WP:LISTPURP From that guidance:
" Lists have three main purposes:
Information: The list may be a valuable information source. This is particularly the case for a structured list. Examples would include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, or annotated lists.
Navigation:Lists which contain internally linked terms (i.e., wikilinks) serve, in aggregate, as natural tables of contents and indexes of Wikipedia. If users have some general idea of what they are looking for but do not know the specific terminology, they could browse the lists of basic topics and more comprehensive lists of topics, which in turn lead to most if not all of Wikipedia's lists, which in turn lead to related articles. Users without a specific research goal in mind might also find the articles listed in articles' see also sections useful. Lists are also provided in portals to assist in navigating their subjects, and lists are often placed in articles via the use of series boxes and other navigational templates."
Furthermore this list matches WP:LSC, WP:CSC Selection criteria
  1. Selection criteria should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources.
  2. Every entry meets the notability criteria for its own non-redirect article in the English Wikipedia. This standard prevents Wikipedia from becoming an indiscriminate list, and prevents individual lists from being too large to be useful to readers. Many of the best lists on Wikipedia reflect this type of editorial judgment."
This is a clean, robust list that is used within a template. It is useful, unambiguous, objective, each member of the list meets notability requirements, each has its own non-redirect article. It is, I suggest, a valuable list of information, one that additionally aids navigation. Capitalismojo ( talk) 18:07, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. If the members of the list are individually notable (have articles) then this is obviously good to keep, per wp:CLT that lists, categories, navigation templates are complementary. Also, somewhat related are recent AFDs in February 2014 for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Constitution Party of Alabama and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justice Party of California, in which consensus was that separate state-specific articles were valid if there was enough coverage, but otherwise state articles for these minor parties should probably redirect to a national list-article or national party article. Here, for the Democratic party, there is likely tons of history and coverage so every state one is individually notable. Whether or not every state article is valid, though, a list of them is completely obviously valid. -- do ncr am 19:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The only section of WP:NOTDIRECTORY I could find that this article potentially violates is the first section, specifically lists or repositories of loosely associated topics. However, the section itself states that it is okay to have lists “if their entries are relevant because they are associated with or significantly contribute to the list topic”. This isn’t a violation of policy and I fail to see the justification deletion. Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 02:06, 5 June 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - This has a valid index function. American party politics are based on the primacy of state parties, for what it's worth; the national structures are more or less fundraising devices. The green links should not be in the body but that is an editing matter, not a notability question. Carrite ( talk) 03:44, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Thank-you for the comments and feedback. I have revised the page to the best of my ability. The following information is notable regrading the issue of deletion:
The research article is not an MA thesis. And so this presumption is false. The research is notable as it speaks about the democratization of knowledge in developing nations and the technological divide and free access to scholarship via the Internet.
The source is notable and referenced in a refereed journal on the page. The research was co authored with John Willinsky and that is now mentioned in reference to Wikepedia links: /info/en/?search=John_Willinsky
The independent references are also on the page, for example, The Swedish and German libraries, the actual publishers, the journal itself and more. Please see the references.
Regarding the quantity published, I do not see this as an issue. An author is an author. If there is a prequisite for quantity, I do not see one in my research regarding standards for entries.
If the page comes across as an advertisement or resume, that is my fault. This is the first time I have ever written up anything on Wikepedia and my inexperience is showing here.
I used an accepted page that has been online for many years. It is similar in content to mine. This individuals biography has even less sources and it is an accepted page and format. As such I used it as an example of what is OK - The page is here: /info/en/?search=Billy_Mavreas
I hope that the new references added in respect to the feedback given are now clear. Libraries, universities and publishers are the makeup of most of them.
Regarding the format and content, I used /info/en/?search=Billy_Mavreas as a guide and it is accpeted.

Social networking website that does not appear to meet WP:NWEB or WP:GNG. The article claims that this is the first Indian social networking website - that is clearly incorrect, BIGADDA for instance existed well before Youflik did ( [4]), and that's just one example that I found after a short search. The claim that the site has 16,000 users is difficult to verify - there are no sources for the claim in any case. I can't find any significant coverage of the website in the press. There are a few articles about the launch of the site, some of which appear to be based on press releases, some of which seem original, but it's not enough to meet WP:GNG as far as I can see. bonadea contributions talk 16:10, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. There are two Times of India articles about the the site (a 2012 one on the youflik.cu.cc version, and 2013 one on the youflik.com version], a The Hindu article, an Udayavana article, a DaijiWorld article, and many other well-established sources. However, all of these seem to be about the launch or relaunch of the site, published the week in which the two versions of the site were launched, making them somewhat of a "single-event" ( WP:ONEEVENT) story without the ongoing coverage needed for notability. The depth of coverage seems shallow as well; while the articles are about on the website and its creator, they don't go into much detail, and are very duplicative. I get the feeling newspapers simply regurgitated information from press releases issued by the company, without gathering or fact-checking information themselves, though that's speculation and doesn't matter for Wikipedia's notability criteria. I am not counting the cited digitfreak.com reference as a reliable source, as that seems like a blog. Agyle ( talk) 23:34, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The problem content is largely the work of one IP editor within the past couple months, so reverting back to an earlier stage (such as here, though there may be a better point) will clear out nearly everything you're complaining about.

  • Keep per Lugnuts, and my comments in the previous AFD: that there are a sufficient number of notable hotels in the Philippines to merit an index of them per WP:LISTPURP and the list should exist as a complement to Category:Hotels in the Philippines per WP:CLN. WP:VAGUEWAVEing at NOTDIR doesn't remotely rebut that, nor does pointing to bad edits made to the page (as you will probably have with any list of businesses of any type), which in any event were mostly recent. If such edits persist after reversion, then I'm all for page protection (particularly as they all came from IPs, so semi-protection alone might do the trick). And as there is a better version in the page history to revert to as I note above, WP:TNT is inapplicable. postdlf ( talk) 18:09, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • The list has now been improved to a point where the nominator's concerns are no longer relevant, mainly just by reverting as I said above. I added a couple more entries I found in the corresponding category; there may be more that I missed. I don't know enough about Philippines geography to know whether the current header subdivisions make sense so I left that intact for now.

But my own search for independent reliable secondary sources on this person turned up almost nothing. I was able to establish to my satisfaction that he does appear to exist, which is more than the nominator was able to do (and which suggests that the nomination was perhaps done in some haste?), but existence does not translate to notability, and notability I was not able to establish. If there are some reliable independent sources in foreign languages (Hindi?

Don't think this person is really notable, besides the one event mentioned in the article Gbawden ( talk) 08:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply

*Keep It took me very little time to find an article on her in the LA Times as shown here, and other news sources also seem to cover her more than trivially. My concern, however, is that she only has notoriety for this single incident. Worse, the article as it stands reads like a blow-by-blow account of a legal fight, not an article about the subject. If I could make the original author re-write the piece according to Wikipedia guidelines for such articles, I would do so. But I can't, and I am not interested in rewriting it myself. So understand that my "keep" vote is based only on the technicality that she appears to have gotten the necessary news coverage. As a Wikipedia article, however, it needs a good deal of brushing up. Delete per WP:SINGLEEVENT KDS4444 Talk 10:38, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: I've cleaned the article up some, but really- she's only known for the one incident. Other than some fairly light coverage in 2003, she hasn't been in the news since. I haven't been able to find anything that followed up the incident, as some sources were saying that she still faced some military legal repercussions but I can't see where anything else happened. There might be merit in making a page entitled List of US military who went AWOL or similar, as cases like these do gain media attention and could be used to help write about AWOL and the US military or something along those lines. I'm not terribly into writing articles about those sort of things, so I wouldn't know where to begin with that, but I can see where a list of notable AWOL soldiers (by country) would be a potentially good page.

Wikipedia is not a directory. this is mostly external links to govt websites, which presumably will list the most current political officeholders. the list as presented here is out of date. I think the overall list is unworkeable and unfixable, and i dont see the encyclopedic use of such a list, which would need near constant monitoring to be accurate to any degree. title also doesnt reflect content really, as it doesnt include state level politicians. the small cities councilmembers dont need listing here, and many are not even linked to the articles on them. simply too many issues to bring it up to any coherence.

I see your point about its not what cats are for, if you mean we shouldnt have flat categories when we really need nested categories. A list is complementary to nested categories when you , the reader, need to see every article/item together, as long as the list itself is supportable (which, of course, i think is not in this case). Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 16:51, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply
    • I meant the purpose this list is presently serving is not what categories are for; MelanieN's comment about categories immediately followed her observation that the list of all present local officeholders would need to have "tens of thousands of names" and be "kept current", as if we would somehow want a category to try that even though most don't have articles. I don't know what else she intended by that comment, and generally if it makes for a bad list it makes for an even worse category. Incidentally, I created Category:California politicians (good god, was it really ten years ago?). We should at some point have a master list of lists created to index our articles on California politicians in parallel to the category structure and to organize on one page the contents of Category:Lists of California politicians. postdlf ( talk) 18:37, 6 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • This is indeed pretty unworkable and outdated. I note, for example, that one city's listed incumbent mayor was postscripted with a link to a PDF indicating that he died in 2011 (and yet he's still listed three years later as still being the incumbent mayor, instead of somebody, oh, correcting the list to name the actual new mayor?) — and Antonio Villaraigosa, as well, is still listed as the incumbent mayor of LA (I'm Canadian and I knew right away that he isn't the mayor anymore, without even having to check.) Furthermore, in many cases this was serving as a web directory of links to the councilmembers' profiles on the counties' or cities' own websites — which, per WP:ELNO, we're not allowed to do. There's simply not much value in this list; as currently constituted, it's just a WP:NOTDIR violation with no redeeming qualities. Delete. Bearcat ( talk) 00:14, 10 June 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy delete as spam. I've tagged it as a speedy and started the merger discussion on the UoM talk page. There is merit to having a small subsection about student life and including a few sentences about the group, but by large the page is so spammy that there's not a lot worth saving. The opening paragraph wasn't so bad, so I put that in the discussion section at Talk:University_of_Maine#Merge_proposal. I don't even really think that there needs to be a merger proposal so much as a brainstorming session on trying to find what can be put in the section other than this group, as UoM is a huge college and has more going on that should be included.

Poorly sourced WP:BLP about a deputy leader of a political party. I might accept that as a valid claim of notability if a substantial volume of reliable source coverage specifically about her were actually present, but the only reference here is a primary source — her biography on the political party's own website — and being the deputy leader of a political party is not a claim that entitles a person to an automatic presumption of notability under WP:POLITICIAN if the sourcing ain't up to scratch.

  • Delete. Does not meet notability guidelines. First, she is deputy leader, not leader. Second, she is a party leader in the province, not nationally. Third, it is a minor party that has never held a seat in the province, and it appears that the largest percentage of the vote they have ever received was 8%. And by far most importantly, I have thus far been unable to find any news articles, etc., that even mention her, much less that she is the subject of. Paisarepa ( talk) 06:18, 4 June 2014 (UTC) reply
Well, strictly speaking, your second and third points are irrelevant to the question of whether she's notable enough for an article or not — the number of seats that a political party has or hasn't held in the legislature has no bearing on whether the leader is notable enough for a Wikipedia article or not, nor does whether the party operates at the provincial/state or the federal level. Being the deputy leader rather than the top banana can enter into it, however — and you're correct that the lack of strong sourcing about her is definitely the coup de grâce.
