No indication of notability. Web search for "Justin Lucas Chambers" results only in this article, and a Wikipedia mirror. Name of show appears to describe a family, but uses possessive, that is, it doesn't appear to be a legitimate professional venture. Doesn't meet
WP:GNG. Doesn't appear to have won any major awards, etc etc.

- Yeah, I would support that. I looked a little closer and came to the same conclusion based on the low hits. I also thought it could be speedy deleted under G11 for unambiguous promotion, since it doesn't even exist yet, and the article seems to be an attempt to legitimize it.

Subject appears to fail
WP:GNG. This article was created in 2008 by a
one-purpose account whose user name is
clearly connected to the article's subject, was tagged as lacking sources in the same year and has seen basically no content edits since then. The only citation points to a web page that no longer exists - I just tried to repair it by retrieving a
copy from the Internet Archive, but it's just a TV show episode guide that doesn't even mention this article's subject.

This article has "referenciness", but the references all turn out to have been written by the subject or his friends. It notes that "Information from 1980 onward is primarily drawn from the article "The History and Work of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies," Shamanism 18: 1&2 by permission of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies." Unfortunately, without this plainly conflicted material, the article itself pretty much vanishes and becomes a minor academic who fails

Unsalvageable mess of redlinks, random facts, vague assertions (1970s: "Telenovelas such as Cristina Bazan with Johanna Rosaly, gain popularity in Puerto Rico"), and banal observations that don't even have anything to do with Puerto Rico specifically ("The Vietnam War breaks out and music with a social theme hit the airwaves in the late 60's").

- Weak keep. The earlier revision really was awful and because of that, I wasn't really expecting to find anything. It's kind of unfortunate in that it's kind of normal to have an extremely
puffy, non-
NPOV page for someone that has never received coverage anywhere. However he has received reviews from SF Signal, SF Site, and many different trade reviews. If it were just the trade reviews I'd be less inclined to really vote "keep", but there are the other reviews to help push it forward. I do think that if this is kept we will likely need to keep an eye on it to ensure that it doesn't get reverted back to its promotional state or have similar information added.

one magazine review and that's not enough to show notability per
WP:AUTHOR or
WP:NBOOK. I've got a fairly detailed
notability Q&A here, but the basic thing is that the books/series/author must have already established notability through reliable sources to pass our notability guidelines. She and her works exist, but existing is not notability and we can't keep an article on the hopes that she'll eventually gain coverage.

Reinadelmundo11: The wonderful thing about Wikipedia is that almost nothing is set in stone. If the books attract significant third party coverage, sufficient to meet the standards laid out at
our notability guidelines, we can always write an article. In the mean time, this doesn't belong here (and you, as someone with a conflict of interest, don't belong writing the article).

- Delete Wikipedia is first and foremost an encyclopedia, not a place for
marketing, and as such article subjects have to be
notable, as shown by
reliable sources independent of the subject. If this series meets that standard in the future, it can and should have an article, though not one written by anyone with a direct connection, as that would be a
conflict of interest.

The result was delete. (soft). It looks like the main arguments are not meeting
notability guidelines for bands (WP:BAND), but there's also a mention that it might meet the local clause of that same guideline; however, concerns are also raised about
verifiability and
reliability of those sources, so defaulting to soft-delete, under the assumption that one is free to re-create or request undeletion of the article, especially if it's to add additional, reliable sourcing.

I'm moderately neutral, since I'm the biggest fan of psychobilly I know after my buddy Nils. But this band appears not to be notable--no big record deal, no hits (of course--it's psychobilly, underground by definition), no significant coverage in the press. Note that the article is currently semi-protected due to persistent BLP violations, some internet chatter about playing in blackface that you can find in the history.

Cullen328
Let's discuss it 20:09, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
reply
- Keep As the nominator points out, by definition "psychobilly" is not a mainstream genre. It thus seems somewhat unfair to me to attempt to strictly apply aspects of our notability policies that would be so applied if this band performed in a mainstream genre. Just because something is a little obscure doesn't mean it should be penalized, subject to things like verifiability of course.
In my opinion, the band readily meets criteria seven in
WP:Band, in that they are "the most prominent of the local scene of a city" in a "notable style", that being "psychobilly" in London Ontario Canada in this case. In fact, if someone were so inclined, I don't think it would be all that difficult to demonstrate this band's prominence in that particular genre in various communities right across the province of Ontario. I say let's give the article a chance to demonstrate that potential claim to "prominence" through the provision of concrete verifiable sources and not hold "non-mainstream" genre against them.

reply
- I'd like to point out that I specifically mentioned our requirement for verifiability twice in my original comment. I'm not contending for anything "unusual" here, simply that recognition be given to the fact that articles pertaining to bands producing music in non mass marketed genres of music by definition, should not be unduly excluded on that basis. In terms of the potential "prominence" of the band itself within its genre on the local scene in London Ontario, based on criteria seven in
WP:Band, I'd point out that they've won the locally significant
Jack Richardson Music Award in their category three times in the last ten years, in 2005, 2007 and again in 2009. See

de:Kurt-Magnus-Preis. I doubt that that award in itself confers notability as on deWiki a good proportion of winners are redlinked. But together there is a lead that something might be there.

G11 declined, so AfD. I found this article when checking "what links here" to
Televisionary, recently
deleted via AfD. As with televisionary this appears to be a marketing buzzword propagated by Ericsson and a few other cable and internet television companies. The refs either don't mention this term at all or mention it in that context, often as part of one of the company's websites or a press release. It has had the advert tag since 2009. I still think it's an easy G11, but it's longer and has more [though heavily redundant] sources, but oh well. It also fails the GNG because there may be multiple sources here, but it has not received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. —

- Delete Didn't find any independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the topic. Sometimes an article uses the phrase, but not clearly in reference to the topic of this article, and even then it's just a trivial single sentence in passing. The Wikipedia article includes a lot of references to websites that are not independent reliable sources; many are press releases, some are blog posts. There is heavy referencing of what sounds like a guide to exhibitors at a trade show called IBC 2008, which I did not locate, but I'm guessing there are independence/reliable source issues with the source. I also did not translate the Russian articles. Perhaps I'm dismissing good sources; please let me know if you think that's true and I'll try harder to look into them.

- With the added information it looks like he may meet
WP:NBOX but there is only a single reference to participation in a Youth event which is non-notable - the reference does not even seem to exist. Wikilinks have no real meaning especially when they are essentially unreferenced themselves. What would help is the inclusion of reliable third party references - the lack of which should result in article deletion in its own right.

This was a tough one, but upon investigation and periodic searching for one year, the subject appears to fall below the relevant notability guidelines. There is a large volume of material written about him on blogs and discussion forums, as well as in self-published books lacking editorial oversight and Wikipedia mirrors. None of these are
reliable sources.
There is a literal handful of reliable sources citing web articles the subject has written. The subject was ranked as one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world with a small blurb written about him, though the majority of the people in that list don't seem to pass
WP:GNG either and I wouldn't argue that alone as a sufficient notability threshhold. The subject also fails both criteria for
WP:ANYBIO and all nine for
WP:NACADEMICS. There are no guidelines for notability which the subject seems to pass.

My findings concur with those of the nom, my conclusion however is that based on the extent of the discussion of his works, the citations of his works, and his apparent influence I am going to invoke IAR and recommend Keep. If someone can investigate the citation numbers that would be helpful. I also wonder about sources in other languages (Indonesian)? Also, David Livingstone writes of him in Black Terror White Soldiers: Islam, Fascism and the New Age: "Such devotion to Ibn Arabi can be found in other important Sufis like Dr. Gibril Haddad and Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Bouti. Haddad..." Unfortunately the page is missing from Google Books.

I don't mind going with Delete to reduce the need for a IAR situation, with the knowledge there is development at WikiIslam so nothing is really lost. If someone wants to create a better entry in the future with reliable source they always can. BTW citation numbers are

promotional page for borderline-notable company. The references are press releases, except for the WSJ, and that one article on the firm as a human interest story is not enough to sustain notability. The awards as a trivial as imaginable " Top 50 Franchisee Satisfaction Award"; and the ones for "fastest growing"mean nothing--the term is an euphemism for "not yet knowable . The promotional nature of the article is shown by the coverage of the non-notable founders trivial appearances on TV shows. Of course, there isn;t much else to say.

As a part of this interesting history it is notable. 2. There is, I expect, more information to be found on the NLA Trove digitized newspapers from the era. I have focused on trawling this for Waratah, and a few other makes, so far, but I expect that careful searching will reveal source material from the period.

- Delete. I don't really understand the idea behind this article; it's like an essay on a very narrow, seemingly insignificant aspect of a development methodology called
Agile Framework, when there is virtually no description of the methodology or reference to any related topics on Wikipedia. The references consist almost entirely of primary sources, blogs, and other non-reliable sources, except for one IEEE journal article.
Agyle (

- On further reflection, I think the article is discussing an aspect of
agile software development, either generically or as described in the book The Agile Manifesto, rather than a specific methodology called Agile Framework. If so, the author didn't realize that Wikipedia would use lower case "agile framework" in the title unless it were a proper noun. That doesn't change my opinion.

WP:notable and

SW3 5DL (

reply
- I'll be happy to review your work product but if being referenced in a
Tim Pat Coogan publication instills notability than there are literally hundreds or more articles waiting to be written. I will need to see the degree to which he is mentioned in the New York Times article once you have added the links, but that also does not necessarily confer sufficient
notability to merit an individual article, which is not to say Fitzgerald can't be part of a larger article. This is an encyclopaedia not a
memorial site. Is the
Cork Ten notable as an article? See the redlink for the apparent answer to that. Being arrested with a notable individual does not confer notability per se. If an article about the Ten were to be created, which I can see having a prima facie claim to notability, then Fitzgerald and other members should then become
redirects to that general article. Again, this isn't a
memorial site, so any salient info about Fitzgerald could be included in the MacSwiney article or an article about the Ten. Based on the text of the article as it exists now, he is no more notable than most other 20th-century paramilitaries.

Does not meet
WP:NALBUMS. The notable songs were released from the follow-up album,
The Listening.
Walter Görlitz (

- Keep It's the first release of the artist, who is notable. It has four songs that were deemed notable enough to have articles (at least for the moment). At least two of them charted, one at #18. I don't see how including the same notable songs on a full length album *later* makes the earlier EP less notable. If we were having this discussion the day before the album was released, it would be clear that the EP was notable. The release of the album didn't revoke the EP's notability, since notability can't be removed. --

- Did you even read WP:NALBUMS?
- "An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article."
- So your argument that it's the first release of a notable artist is moot.
- As stated in the nomination, the songs were not released from this EP but from the follow-up album and so they don't confer notability on this album but possibly from the one they were released from, although that doesn't happen either: each article must have its own notability.
- As for revoking notability: the EP has none.

- Strong Keep. I have been editing music on Wikipedia since well before 2006, and local policies have a tendency to shift under the editor's feet, but I would wager, common sense remains the same. Why would removing this article improve Wikipedia in any way? It would only obscure the information concerning the two songs on this EP that were not included in the full-fledged album. Ask yourselves: is slavish adherence to policy, which itself is a moving target, reason enough to remove valuable information that just makes it harder for the user to obtain it? --

- Even if this article is redirected, what's the purpose in deletion? You could redirect now, leaving the content in history, so in future the redirect could be easily undone, and new content and sources could be added. Mareklug has something of a point. In the past albums were automatically included for notable artists. Editors would put content in what are really sub-articles, with this understanding. Then, some other editors, decided to change the rules, and delete the content, which suddenly had to stand on its own. Now, I realize that ship has sailed (I'm not arguing guidelines here). But, if we can't delete this, then we can simply merge/redirect (even though I prefer keeping as stand-alone). There has not been a single practical argument presented so far for deletion. --

- So, let me ask: would you have deleted this article if we had the discussion immediately before the full length album was released? Her EP easily met
WP:GNG at that time. But, what you're doing is trying to take away the notability of this EP (shown in sources like
this and ascribe them to a later album. As the article indicates (with sourcing) the songs were altered (albeit in a small way), so the singles weren't just taken from the full album, but were in fact from the EP first. I see this AFD as an attempt to retroactively remove well established notability. That's what's against our guidelines. --
Rob (

I searched for sources to support its notability and could not find it. Others did as well. What you see is your own ignorance of how AfDs work, not a conspiracy to remove something.

The only source in this article is in regard to the subject being called for a hearing, which fits
Wikipedia:ONEEVENT. Fails WP:GNG. Even with proper sources, his only notability seems to be in the fact that he is the spouse of
Pauline Marois, there is no real, in depth coverage of the subject.

- In theory, the primary claim of notability here is his past position as CEO of two major financial institutions in Quebec — but his actual notability has not been adequately demonstrated by the use of
reliable sources, and he doesn't get an automatic presumption of notability just for leading a company even in the absence of solid sourcing. Most of the other people who've led the
Fonds de solidarité FTQ before or after him don't have Wikipedia articles, and while some of the other people who've led the
Société générale de financement do, they also have much more substantial articles cited to a much more substantive array of sources than this, and much stronger claims of notability than just the SGF alone. And since notability is
not inherited, he doesn't get a presumption of notability just for being the spouse of someone notable either. No prejudice against future recreation if somebody can write a good and properly sourced article about him, but this version is a delete.

He is only the "spouse of Pauline Marois". I wonder if the same attitude would prevail if a stub were started for Michelle Obama. Would there be a call for its deletion because she is only "the spouse of the President of the USA"?
The stub on Claude Blanchet should be allowed to stand, because as the "spouse" of a now former "premier ministre" (English: Premier) of a province the size of 3 European countries, he is more than sufficiently "notable". His links to Campeau Corporation and thus to Power Corporation of Canada are also extremely important, because that latter multinational corporation is renowned for financing the election campaigns of a series of Prime Ministers of the federal Parliament of Canada. Anything Power Corporation does in Quebec, and in Canada, is extremely noteworthy and needs to be documented, precisely because of all their strings attached to the people and levers behind political "power" in Canada.
In fact, it is probably little known, but factually supported, that the PARTI QUEBECOIS, led by Marois until the recent election, was ordained to be set up by a group of federal Liberal cabinet ministers in the Lester Pearson government of Canada, while meeting in 'secret committee' on the premises of Power Corporation of Canada in 1967, i.e., their Montreal shipping building for Canada Steamship Lines. Therefore, again, the links of CLAUDE BLANCHET to Marois (leader of the same PARTI QUEBECOIS), are important because he is also linked to POWER CORPORATION and the creation of the PARTI QUEBECOIS by RENE LEVESQUE on the "encouragement" if not "instructions" of the federal LIBERAL GOVERNMENT operating out of POWER CORPORATION business premises. This therefore means that POWER CORPORATION is linked to the LIBERALS, and that both are linked to the creation and set-up of the PARTI QUEBECOIS, a political party whose GOAL is to destroy Canada. Research into the referendums launched by this party in 1980 and 1995 indicates that the goal was to replace Canada with a new regional system matching that underway in Europe since the 1950s.
The chapter documenting the decision taken by the federal Liberals on the premises of Power Corporation to set up a 'separatist' party is available in both French and English:
[1] "The secret committee at Power"
http://www.calameo.com/books/000111790f1bc6388c506
[2] "Dans L'oeil de l'Aigle - Le «Comité secret» de Power (1967)"
http://www.calameo.com/books/00011179030fd555d1a92
When a multinational corporation is involved in setting up a political party to destroy a country, and the wife of one of its own employees (CLAUDE BLANCHET) ends up leading that party, everyone linked to that corporation, including BLANCHET, is sufficiently "notorious" to deserve an in-depth public biography.
I would therefore strongly suggest that the stub on CLAUDE BLANCHET should be maintained, the deletion request should be cancelled, and a request for more details should be substituted. — Preceding

- Being the
First Lady of the United States is a
notable, well-defined public role, which garners more than enough coverage in
reliable sources to qualify its holders for articles —
Michelle Obama has an article because she, herself, is notable in her own right, and not just because her husband is notable. The spouse of a provincial premier (or a US state governor), however, is not an equivalently notable role — a person who happens to be married to a premier of Quebec might also be independently notable, but is not entitled to an article just because of their marriage. If you cannot demonstrate that Blanchet would be sufficiently notable for a Wikipedia article independently of whomever he happened to be married to, then he is not sufficiently notable for a Wikipedia article. And your conspiracy theory about
Power Corporation and the
Liberal Party of Canada, while impressive, has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Blanchet meets our inclusion rules.

Except for promotionalism, I think it is almost never appropriate to nominate an article for deletion because of its manner of writing--normally it's much better to fix, preserving as much as possible. I have never before nominated for deletion an article merely because of its style of writing.
I consider this article one of the rare exceptions. It's written entirely in educational jargon, to the extent it would be necessary to start over to make an intelligible article. I quite literally do not see a single sentence that can be kept, and very few that are worth rewriting, because very few have any actual content. Consider even the lede: :what is the meaning of "achieve positive mental health"? People cannot have negative mental health, so whatever is done will "help achieve" positive mental health. Why is it necessary to say family and schools "are the two most important institutions affecting children" ? Why phrases like "shown itself relevant to many countries". I could easily go through the rest of the article in the same fashion--selecting at random: "Family counseling is one of the more difficult forms of counseling and learning to do it well requires extensive training and supervision" For the first statement, I see no evidence-- and for the second, this applies to every human activity.

I should also note that the article bears the hallmarks of being a student project; if so, it deserves a high grade. :-)

- Comment. I'm beginning to suspect that this is a complicated joke, or possibly a test of our mechanisms. Or is it possible that we're somehow seeing different articles? I managed to find plenty of sentences that are "sourced, coherent, and ... have something to do with the subject". For example:
- "SBFC is a global movement and has shown itself to be relevant to many countries and cultures.[7]" It's sourced: I've checked, and the reference is to a seven year old peer-reviewed journal published by a respectable academic journal publisher (
Taylor & Francis). It's coherent: I immediately understand what the sentence is trying to say, and it conveys useful information (which mildly surprised me, and I'd be fascinated to see whether there are cultural differences in the implementation of SBFC, but that's a separate matter...). It certainly has something to do with the subject.
- "These negative effects of the family on children extend to the school. According to Crespi, Gustafson and Borges (2006) school psychologists are increasingly being confronted with students affected by family problems: “With one in six children raised in alcoholic families, with divorce impacting approximately 60% of families, and with such issues as…parental neglect, as well as sexual and physical abuse affecting large numbers of children and youths, many practitioners are interested in interventions which can directly affect children in school settings.”.[20]" Again, it's sourced: a ten year old article in another T&F peer-reviewed journal. The sentences are coherent: the first refers back to a list of negative psychological effects caused by a dysfunctional family environment (all nicely referenced), and introduces an important motivation for the development of SBFC ideas, which the next sentence then discusses. Again, it clearly has something to do with the subject: "many practitioners are interested in interventions which can directly affect children in school settings".
- "Amatea, Smith-Adcock, and Villares (2006) describe a family resilience framework that school counselors can use to help families promote students’ learning.[32]" Another well-sourced sentence, again from a peer-reviewed journal, this one produced by a relevant professional body (the American School Counselor Association). The sentence is clear, tells me something I didn't know before, and tells me where to get more information. It obviously has something to do with the subject: it tells me about a mechanism that school counselors can use to help families help their school-age members to learn.
- The rest of the article seems to be just as well sourced and relevant. There are odd stylistic infelicities, the main one being that Wikipedia's "house style" tends to shorter paragraphs. Interestingly, I didn't have to "pick and choose" to find good sentences in this article: a quick check suggests that the rest of the article is fine, too.
- I'm having immense difficulty in understanding why the "blow it up" advocates wish to do so.
RomanSpa (

- Well, it appears I was wrong. Some of the sentences potentially have something to do with the subject, as the subject is not specified in the article. But, the first sentence you gave
- SBFC is a global movement and has shown itself to be relevant to many countries and cultures.
- Is not coherent (I can't tell whether it falls under "peacock" or "puffery"), and it's sourced to the first item in a journal, not just the first issue. The first item in a new journal is usually an editorial, telling what the journal is about. It doesn't belong in the lead of any Wikipedia article, unless sourced to a real peer-reviewed article.
- If a definition or characterization of the subject were added, it might be possible to determine if the coherent sentences were actually about the subject. —

- Continues to be hopeless. Look at the first sentence under "uses"
- "The need for SBFC arises from the challenges of traditional school counseling and family counseling (agency based) models in dealing with children who are failing at school because of family problems. The family problems include: marital discord, parents divorcing, custody problems, substance abuse, older siblings involved in gangs, sexual and physical abuse, parental neglect, single parents overwhelmed by economic and emotional problems, spouse abuse, and chaotic families with little parental control. Carlson and Sincavage (1987) conducted a survey of 110 members of the National Association of School Psychologists and reported that family variables were seen as highly relevant to children's school problems.[11]"
This shows the need for counseling, not for this particular version of counseling. Second,a survey of counselors to see what they thought were the clients' problems is not the same as a survey to see what are the problems. It has no direct applicability to this particular model, but is entirely general. Basically promotionalism. Copyediting won;t do it. There would be nothing left.

- Comment. I object to the use of AFD to try to force other edits to improve an article, right now, or else, on a topic that all parties seem to agree is valid and wikipedia-notable. The nominator asks a person above to "... try improving the article to address the problems. If you succeed, I'll withdraw the AfD. But if you mean I'm an impossible dreamer to think decent articles can be written on such topics, you may be right." It is a stunt, a protest trying to hold other editors hostage with their time, to force this one article out of all on wikipedia to be done right now, or else the nominator is going to insist on continuing to try to have the article "blown up". When the nominator knows the topic is valid. I honestly don't think that is right behavior. --

Despite being known as a humorist/writer, fails WP:GNG, WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:AUTHOR due to lack of significant coverage from reliable third-party sources. The only reliable sources on him are primary sources (i.e. interviews, self-written pieces) and those written by those closely associated with him (namely his own brother). Since most coverage on him mainly pertains to his brother
George Carlin, this article should be redirected to that or deleted.

WP:SECONDARY sources discuss Patrick in depth. The High Times interview starts with a couple of paragraphs of editorial biography about Patrick. It's a good source. The problem is that
WP:BASIC needs a few more of these, at least one, but that's all there is. I think we should delete the article because the George Carlin biography does not tell the reader anything about Patrick, so a redirect is not useful.

- Keep. I think 1) the article clearly discusses Patrick's distinct accomplishments and 2) the sources are broadly mis-characterized as unreliable by the proponent. A lot of sources also include interview content amidst the story, when an interview is available. Getting an interview often inspires the rest of the article. He wrote books, sources prove the books legitimately exist and are for sale. "Significant" Yes, Patrick's life accomplishments are greatly overshadowed by his brother. Some are associated to his more famous brother. Do we remove or merge the other
Jackson family members because
Michael was so notable? No. A little google shows a little more which I will add to the article. You know, you can google too before you needlessly attack articles.

- I should also add that
WP:WAX (What about X) is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions. The Jackson family is an entirely separate case, anyway. His own books are self-published sources, which do not add to notability. What he needs to meet the notability criteria is multiple reliable third-party sources. Are there multiple sources on him? Yes. Are they reliable? Yes. Are they third-party? No. Self-written pieces and interviews are primary sources, and pieces written by family, friends, and other close affiliations are not third-party either. The only third-party sources available on him are unreliable. Keep in mind that per WP:MASK and WP:HITS, the raw number of sources that mention a subject is not by itself an indicator of notability. This is because one or more of the following can apply 1) ref is unreliable 2) ref only mentions subject in brief 3) ref is not third-party.

This article was tagged for notability last month. I have had a good dig round for sources, but I can't find anything that talks about The Colonel beyond just a passing reference when talking about
Graham Chapman. Because the title needs to be disambiguated, I can't consider a redirect to that article. At best, I could hope for a footnote in

significant coverage which confirms the character's importance in the structure of the show. For example "The Colonel is again acting as the arbiter of good taste, and also -- as a replacement for a punchline or a traditional link -- he is a transitionary tool. His outbursts remind the viewer of the constructedness of the performance, of its artificiality, and of the fact that it can be directed and re-directed by the characters and elements within the diegetic world. This narrative chicanery is the Pythons' tilting at Auntie BBC -- the ancien régime of Light Entertainment to be rebelled against -- and will come to characterize the narrative structure of Flying Circus."

The New York Times: ("The umbrella term for an annual trade fair that is a key destination on an international circuit is the Tucson Gem, Mineral and Fossil Showcase. The name scarcely hints at the scope of an event that takes over Tucson each winter — 43 shows in 41 locations, including hotels, motels, dusty parking lots, the city’s big convention center and tent cities set up by frontage road along Interstate 10 — drawing dealers from China, Morocco, Siberia, Tanzania, Australia and India.")

WP:OUTCOMES is only a rough guide as to likely outcomes of deletion discussions; it is descriptive, not prescriptive. And it is not even clear if it meets the cutoff, since different people have different interpretations of it. Ultimately, what matters are the sources, which this does not have.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes states: "Larger malls are generally considered notable. Very small malls, strip malls, and individual shops are generally deleted unless significant sourcing can be found." What was communicated to me by one sysop was that the dividing line was 1 million sf, and the other sysop said he believed it was 500,000 sf. This mall is far below both those cut-offs, at 333,615 sq ft, and in fact one of the smallest size malls I've seen reflected on the Project. Being a "regional" shopping center (rather than a super-regional shopping center) is simply a designation that puts it with other centers that typically have 400,000 sf. -- and, as indicated, malls that size are typically not considered notable at the Project.

- I'm sure you remember
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vasundhara Metro Mall. I tried adding up the floor-by-floor areas, and only came up with something a bit over 100,000 sq ft. So we can start to set the pattern with a weak claim that the bottom end for the keeping of malls at AfD is at 100,000 sq ft. Whoever told you 500,000 or 1,000,000 I can guess gave you no verifiable evidence. I've looked at enough recent AfDs to know that the 1,000,000 is a fiction. We have numerous articles with "smaller" malls for good reason. This 355,000 sq ft mall claims 4,000,000 visitors per year. Regional shopping centers are widely known in the locale. Take a look at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harlequin Shopping Centre for an example of a nom who said in 2014 that 1,000,000 is normative, but in 2013 got zero support to delete a mall of size 727,000. As for 500,000, this is getting closer, but I'm not aware of good examples of AfDs that deleted malls of between 300,000 and 500,000, and I can cite two recent AfDs that were kept. The definition at allbusiness.com is a verifiable benchmark for 300,000 sq ft, suggesting that a "larger" shopping center is also more then 300,000 sq ft. And the word "regional" means something in the real world. I agree with your premise that malls at the smaller end of this spectrum probably need more attention. This particular mall as I've already said has distinguishing characteristics.

commercial developments can be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance. They require significant coverage by reliable, third-party

I don't have a hard number in mind in terms of sqft, though I think I would lean towards one million. But this mall is well below any number I'd be comfortable with. And then there is the question of significant coverage mentioned in GEOFEAT. In the end however, the bottom-line is that I am not seeing anything here that makes this mall stand out. -

My view has been and remains that merely regional centers in the US and any other developed country are not notable unless there are special factors involved. I do not see any here. The sources, as usual for such articles, are very local and routine, and can be interpreted however one pleases to get the desired result.

Epeefleche (

- Well WP:OUTCOMES is very vague simply stating "larger" and should be more specific, I'll admit that. Until it is changed to at least listing square footage however, we must interpret it ourselves. Using the defintion at allbusiness, "Regional Shopping Center" and "Super Regional Shopping Center" are what I consider large and "Community Shopping Center", "Neighborhood Shopping Center" and "Strip Shopping Center" are what I consider small.
Me5000 (

- That would be setting a breathtakingly low bar for inclusion. However, as noted above community consensus seems to have come down pretty firmly against malls of less than 500,000 sqft. Where the line is drawn above that is not clear. -

Unscintillating (

reply
- What Ad Orientem said. Furthermore, it is instructive to understand two things. First, "Common Outcomes" refers to the typical outcomes of past AfD discussions for some commonly nominated subjects; none of the subjects of common outcomes pretend that there may not be, for some atypical reason, an atypical exception. But no reason for such an exception is present here, and nobody has even suggested that one exists. Second, as the nomination itself states, "We don't generally retain stand-alone articles for malls of this size, absent unusual circumstances not present here." The fact that unusual circumstances were present elsewhere does not change the fact that they are not present here.

- Understand that it is your !vote. And that we shall see what the consensus is. But just fyi, for !votes to be given weight by the closer, they have to be based on wp policy, for example GNG (which does not seem to support retention here), which shows the article to be notable per wp standards.

WP:GNG, not its size. In its current condition, it fails

WP:OUTCOMES is based on size (500,000 appears to be reasonable), but it is only a reason for keeping, not a reason for deletion.
VMS Mosaic (

- Delete — The main policy and guideline-based arguments given to delete are
failure to meet general notability (WP:N / WP:GNG). Arguments over its size are irrelevant unless secondary sources can
verify the notability thereof (WP:V). Furthermore,
common outcomes at AfD (WP:OUTCOMES) is a descriptive essay of what someone, in their
original research or
personal opinion thinks happens or happened at some point in AfD history—it is not a consensus-backed
policy or
guideline. On top of the issue of WP:GNG, the article in its current form is a
directory entry, and, failing a clear assertion of and verification of
reliably-sourced notability, it is also in violation of that policy, too.
Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features) is also not a policy or guideline yet. On top of all of that, we don't take our hints of what's notable from a glossary section on "allbusiness.com," nor do I personally believe we should start to. Ever. --

- I'm looking above and I have yet to see any editors who have provided evidence that this topic fails WP:GNG. Confusing WP:V and WP:N is just that. WP:V is a core content policy. I just now clicked on Google books and I immediately saw two relevant books. This is exactly why we have a WP:BEFORE guideline, that ensures that we will not venture off into deletion discussions without minimal evidence. We recently had a deletion discussion on another mall at
Sumter Mall that started off without WP:BEFORE, and led to a DRV and now a second AfD. Just as there, we do not have WP:BEFORE here, so we have a fractured discussion. How can we expect the world at large to take our discussions seriously if administrators don't support our own guidelines? On another point, at Wikipedia, we follow the sources, so your personal opinion does not stand above allbusiness.com.

WP:OUTCOMES applies to larger malls which at least meet
WP:V. While it is open to debate if this is a "larger" mall, at this point it does not meet
WP:V because it has not been shown that sources exist.

Article had been tagged for external link cleanup since May of 2010. I removed the self-promotional links, but the remaining article seems like a lot of self-promotion for people/an organization of very borderline notability, and the article itself is very hazy about whether it's about the people, the website, or both. I really didn't find any sources or assertions of notability outside a very small range.

The main problem is that most of the hits are coming up as articles that they wrote themselves, so a lot of otherwise usable sources would be seen as primary.

- Keep Even if their business is rightfully removed as a focus of the article, they meet simple author notability with two books from a major publisher, a magazine award, a TV show with named roles, and media attention both from RS magazines that monitor the industry
[37] and mainstream RS (if the LA Times called them experts in their field,
[38] and they've published multiple books with Penguin, it passes a threshold beyond self-promotion or mentions in specialist literature). The article clearly needed a massive haircut when nominated, and has been improved by it. It's great that self-promo and bad/no sourcing was removed. But basic notability is not dependent on how bad an article used to be or whether an article still needs some work. They are cited as published beer experts by enough high profile independent reliable sources to have an article based on that, regardless of what it once looked like.

- I'm neutral about whether it's better kept at the present title or moved to something more like "Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune" (The
Siegfried & Roy-edness of this is bothersome, but that happens editorially with duos who achieve notability solely through combined production. If they start producing stuff independently of each other, the article could be split.)

While
Chandigarh is large and internationally prominent enough that a member of its municipal council could qualify for a well-written and
well-sourced article, this article is neither of those things. At the same time, nominator should be aware that for most publications
Google News only aggregates news hits from within the past couple of weeks, so it's really only a useful test for the verifiability of a brand new claim, such as a person who purportedly won an election that just took place last night — it is not an infallible gauge of the basic notability or non-notability of a topic whose claim of notability is several years old, as many valid sources may exist outside the range of dates that will turn up in a GN search. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can create a good version that cites real sources.

I removed a previously declined PROD from the article. The IP that initially declined it is suspected of being a sockpuppet, but as that has not been proven, I think we need to assume good faith and accept the decline of PROD as valid. In any event, there really needs to be a full deletion discussion, given the length of time this article has existed and the number of edits made. I am slightly leaning to delete on this, but frankly decent keep or delete arguments could be made here, so I will keep my mind open on this.

- Delete as inherently POV. This article, to the extent that it addresses its topic (i.e., beyond just what would be covered in
blasphemy laws) is largely a mix of unsourced opinion, unsourced examples, examples where people are using their free speech to speak out against blasphemy (which is not a conflict between the existence of blasphemy laws and free speech). Blasphemy laws are inherently a limitation on free speech, so this is really not a separate topic from
blasphemy laws, but more of a POV fork. --

Calypsomusic (

- As I note, controversies in which someone throws in the word "blasphemy" at some point would be a huge and fuzzy list; that it include lots of things that have Wikipedia articles (wars, pieces of art, religious schisms, just about anyone to ever comment on religious, and so forth), and with reaction ranging from mild criticism to state-sponsored wars. I don't see that the use of that accusation is sufficiently unifying to create a clear list... and to a certain degree, we're getting into "this could be a good article if we replace the title and the content", which is always inherently true. --

WP:SYNTH and

The body of the article just consists of various examples of what, in the creator's opinion, constitutes conflict between how the creator has chosen to define the two aformentioned terms. It's a great term paper but not an encyclopedic article.

This one is a doozy. If

- Delete (do not merge or redirect) per nominator's "single event" rationale. I disfavor redirection because the topic lacks significant notability, and disfavor merging because the Tara is already listed in
List of cats with an appropriate amount of coverage. I just added a bit more to the sentence about Tara on List of cats, and included a reference, which I think should be there regardless of what happens with this article; there would have been more reason to merge info when the above "merge" votes were recommended. There are two side stories I've seen related to Tara, one is about the cat being honored by throwing out the first pitch in a charity promotion by the town's minor league baseball team (
ESPN), and the other about a brief online store presence cashing in on the cat's fame (
Metro,
TMZ), but they're in such a close timeframe to the initial story that they don't demonstrate the type of sustained coverage expected for notable topics.

- I've thought about this more, and maintain the same vote, but wanted to respond to
User:GRuban pointing out below that
WP:BLP1E is for people; it's a good point, as BLP1E is specifically geared toward protecting the privacy of low-profile living people, presumably for legal and ethical reasons most people would not extend to animals, so I wouldn't consider it here. I think
WP:ONEEVENT, which is similar but geared more toward topic importance, is a better guideline to consider; it still refers to people, but I think Tara is analagous enough that much of what it says still makes sense. One of the issues it raises is should there be an article about the individual (in this case Tara), about the event, or articles about both. In this case, a third possibility is an article about the YouTube video. In addition to the general notability guidelines, I considered the guidelines for people, events (
WP:EVENT) and films (
WP:FILM), and any angle about this just seems to fall short of established guidelines. While some aspects of
WP:GNG are met, those guidelines also caution that "In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." (Again, Tara is a cat rather than person, but the subject seems reasonably analogous). In the future, the cat, the video, or the event could meet notability requirements for any number of reasons, but right now all lack appropriate historical significance.
Agyle (

Wikipedia has the "list of cats" topic; but how many people know that Wikipedia has a "list of cats" subject for people to reference. In the future, when someone learns of this story and wants the details, they are going to be searching Wikipedia for "Tara" and not "list of cats"

- I'm beginning to have second thoughts about my perhaps too-hasty Delete recommendation (above). I'm reminded of
Scarlett (cat), a similar article, which deals with a "one-event" cat. Scarlett rescued her kittens, one by one, from a burning building, and suffered grave injury in the process. Since Scarlett's event occurred in 1996, there was no Internet storm of recognition, but she became famous anyway. So I'm coming around to thinking Keep. (Also check out
Room 8 for a similar cat scenario, this one a "one event, year after year" occurrence.) --
Seduisant (
talk) 20:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
reply
- Those two examples provide a good contrast for topics that I do think are notable.
Scarlett (cat) was famous for one event, but was the subject of three books, published up to ten years after the event occurred.
Room 8 was also a subject of a book, regular news coverage spanning 15 years about the cat's life rather than an event, and inspired the Room 8 Memorial Foundation that was active at least from 1972 to 2013 (more than 40 years). If there are books or documentaries made about Tara, or even ongoing news coverage about the cat in coming years, it would establish notability, but a viral video from a week ago hasn't yet demonstrated the "sustained coverage" described in
WP:15MOF or "lasting significance" in
WP:LASTING.

An Australian artist who started working full-time on her art in 2011 and seems to have had a couple of paintings exhibited outside of Australia at a New York gallery. Article seems to be autobiographical - the image uploaded is clearly a 'selfie'. I've searched around and can only find one news article in her local newspaper. I can't find any proof of the claim she has her work in public art collections (she doesn't even have her own website to verify the claim). In my view I'd say she is clearly moving in the right direction but not notable enough for

The result was keep. The consensus is that the two events together push him over the

- Keep per
WP:BASIC, I do not feel BLP1E is applicable here. I believe that a million edits on Wikipedia is more akin to a body of work (such as that of an artist, like myself) than a single event. Knapp's millionth edit may have been an event, but the million edits as a whole are something entirely different, and I find the sourcing to focus on the latter, not the former. A single example: Many articles discuss the range of topics Knapp edits in, none that I saw says what the topic of the 1,000,000th edit was. I came across this argument at the previous DRV, looked into the sources involved, and find it compelling. --

- There are clearly-articulated reasons to delete in the discussions that RoySmith links, so there's a case to answer. But I don't think it's a very good case.
WP:BLP1E is not applicable.
WP:BLP1E itself says it only applies to
low-profile individuals, which Justin Knapp is not because he's agreed to be interviewed about his edits.
WP:BIO1E, on the other hand, could apply. If we decided to enforce BIO1E, then strictly speaking,
Justin Knapp would need to redirect to an article called
Justin Knapp's 1,000,000th edit. I do not think this is a very good idea so I don't think we should enforce BIO1E here.—

- The reason(s) are not clearly articulated here. If the nominator can't be bothered to summarise and state a reason to delete then the proposal should be summarily dismissed. The alternative is that we start to guess at reasons to delete and then rebut a variety of straw men and other red herrings. You then get a train-wreck discussion and that's exactly what we don't want here as it will not establish a clear consensus. For example, my view is that the main reason people want to delete this is petty jealousy of a rival Wikipedian. This is a poor reason which seems contrary to
WP:NPOV and
WP:CENSOR. Do we really want to go there...?

- After a DRV, the closer sometimes decides the best answer is to relist at AfD. In this case they should present both sides of the argument neutrally and the simplest way to do that is to link the preceding discussion so we can read it for ourselves. Making the closer summarise these arguments creates an awful lot of work for them just to save us a click, don't you think?—

- If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. If you go to DRV now, you find that the discussion has been closed up but the closer's summary provides no details of the supposed reason(s) to delete. Relisting is supposed to attract attention from other editors, so that we don't just repeat what's been said already. These new editors should not be expected to unearth and analyze the content of previous discussions. That's the job of the closer(s) who are expected summarise the discussions. If they have provided proper summaries then it should be no great labour to put the relevant reasons here too. Absent such clear terms of reference, this discussion will otherwise ramble. For example, I notice that the subject is rather beardy, unlike other prolific Wikipedians such as
Simon Pulsifer or
James Heilman. Perhaps
pogonophobia is the issue here, as recently noticed by
Jeremy Paxman? Tsk.

Others come sometimes when an editor wants to develop a topic, and wants insurance that it will be kept, and nominates own topic. To pre-empt legitimate concern that community might or might not have later. This is also a waste of AFD attention. We ought to change guidelines somewhere to disallow these. --

- Delete - As before, straight
WP:BLP1E, a position not refuted by "meets WP:N" and the like. We've already established that the subject appears in reliable sources, but 1E is the exception that allows us to disregard that. "Keep he's notable!" is a failing argument here, which is why the article was deleted i nthe first place, and should be deleted again. News blips for being a prolific editor on a website is the event, and the only reason that this is getting more attention than normal around here is because of knee-jerk navel-gazing.

- Keep The use of BLP 1E in this instance is wrong. Being engaged in a continuing activity of years is not an event, but a career or an avocation,and a person can be notable for either. If he had contributed only one article here, which had attracted notice, that could reasonably regard as one-event. 1E is best seen as an extension of NOT TABLOID to those events covered by respectable sources-- the victim of an accident, for example.
DGG (

reply
- Yes, but the crux is whether or not he is notable as a Wikipedian per se. I do not think he is, at least per the "significant coverage". Instead, he is "notable" only for his million edits and that allows for a valid invoking of 1E. So far the sources aren't interested about his articles or what else he does on Wikipedia. The thing of note is only the millionth edit achievement. Compare the depth of coverage to that of the other (deservedly) "notable" Wikipedians like
Sue Gardner or
Jimmy Wales. ☯

- Delete United Nations source is a "passing by" mention and is not enough to substantiate notability. Did it attract coverage from other media outlets? Nope. The rest are just repeated mentions of the same thing. I personally think that the one million edit thing might be a wonderful achievement in WikiLand, but from a non-Wikipedian's perspective it probably is just a trivial, non-impactful matter. Definitely no long lasting impact. Kill a million people, yes. Write a million books, of course. But make a million edits? A bot could too that as well. The article also fails to have much biographical focus for a BLP. 82% of the page talks about Wikipedia and Wikipedia. Early life (only an uncited birthdate)? Professional job (oh wait)? These are what a BLP should rightfully entail, at the very least. With all respect to the man, it's a clear-cut case of
WP:BLP1E. As a weaker alternative, I suggest making a small mention at the appropriate
History of Wikipedia. ☯

- Keep per the existence of multiple, good-quality sources for a notable subject. A recent academic source has popped up as well, title = Common Knowledge? : An Ethnography of Wikipedia; author= Dariusz Jemielniak; page=230; publisher = Stanford University Press; date = 05/2014; ISBN= 9780804789448. Perhaps someone with more interest in the article can make use of it. For the purposes of this discussion, it doesn't matter that the subject made 1 million edits, or that someone else has made more edits, or that someone might have more hits on your favorite search engine. What matters is that independent, reliable sources (the Telegraph, Indianapolis Monthly, et al) have decided the subject is notable by publishing articles.

- Comment I didn't address the BLP1E issue in my previous post because I thought other posters had made a good case as to why BLP1E didn't apply. However, since there seems to be some misunderstanding of the subtleties of the policy (it seems like mostly commonsense interpretations are being applied), please consider the following quote from the BLP1E: 'The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources.' (emphasis added) I think multiple reliable sources covering the subject over a period of more than two years, including a reference in a newly released academic book, means that BLP1E is not applicable.
Dictioneer (
talk) 03:34, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
reply
- I think many editors believe
WP:BLP1E and
WP:BIO1E are synonymous shortcuts to the same editing policy/guideline; they are not. BLP1E is specifically in place to protect and support a
presumption in favor of privacy. BLP1E itself says: "It is important for editors to understand two clear differentiations of the People notable for only one event guideline (WP:BIO1E) when compared to this policy (WP:BLP1E). Firstly, WP:BLP1E should be applied only to biographies of living people. Secondly, WP:BLP1E should be applied only to biographies of low-profile individuals." Justin Knapp has removed any need for a "presumption in favor of privacy" by his overt public appearances and granting of interviews. BLP1E should be "off the table" and every call for deletion which cites it should be discounted as uninformed. BIO1E, on the other hand, would at least be the relevant guideline to debate, but no one has cited a reason to delete under its tenets; offering nothing to debate.—

WP:NOTTEMP means that's not really a relevant argument. She needs to pass either

I could not find a single source that references this topic, not even from an author. With all due respect, there is no evidence other than the image uploaded to Wikipedia that the framework actually ever existed.

- Delete. Not finding non-trivial coverage by reliable sources. Nominator's assessment of the citations is correct.
