Al-Zain Sabah Al-Naser Al-Sabah

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of a filmmaker, written far too much like an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article and relying far too heavily on primary source verification of her existence rather than reliably sourced evidence of notability. And even the one or two sources here that are more legitimate than the rest still mostly just glancingly namecheck her existence rather than being substantively about her; there's just one source here that's both substantive and reliable enough to count for anything toward WP:GNG, and one source isn't enough to pass GNG by itself. None of Wikipedia's notability criteria for people ever entitle anybody to keep a poorly-sourced and PR-toned profile just because they exist — they must be the subject of coverage in reliable sources to become eligible for an article.

Delete by all means as I actually tagged this not long after it was started and there isn't even anything to currently suggest minimal general notability. SwisterTwister talk 08:11, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment. Participants might want to review earlier versions of the article as the nominator removed several links to sources just before making the nomination - but on the other hand, they may not want to bother as most of the removed sources seem to have been inappropriately used and poor enough that their removal may even have improved the article. More to the point in this discussion, the tone of previous contributions may have been sufficiently influenced by the undoubted promotionality of the current article as to be somewhat more dismissive of the possibility of notability from other sources than is really justified. There seem to be quite a few reliable sources that at least mention the subject, particularly if one uses a short version of her name (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) - most of these, admittedly, seem to be fairly unsubstantial, often being routine announcements made by her in her current second- or third-level government appointment, but the combination of being a woman in a political position in an Arabian emirate, together with her close relationship to the current Emir of Kuwait, may well have generated something deeper that I have overlooked. Such sources, though, could well be in Arabic, which I can not read at all, and probably need to be searched for by an Arabic-speaker, if there is one currently around. PWilkinson ( talk) 01:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

I didn't remove any links to sources, just for the record. I removed WP:ELNO violations, which isn't the same thing — a company that's named in the article doesn't get to have its name offlinked to its own website as a substitute for a Wikipedia article about that company, for example. And every single link I removed from the running body text as an ELNO violation was just a repetition of a link that still appears in the references section as a footnote anyway.

Jonah Bryson (filmmaker)

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

WP:BLP of a young filmmaker notable only as the co-director of a single 10-minute short documentary film, citing no reliable source coverage to support it — the only sources here are an article he wrote and an article his more established co-director wrote, making them both primary sources that count for nothing toward establishing WP:GNG. As always, a Wikipedia article is not something that every film director automatically gets to have just because he exists — reliable source coverage, demonstrating that he passes WP:CREATIVE, is what it takes, and until then it's just WP:TOOSOON. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when his notability and sourceability can be demonstrated better than this. Bearcat ( talk) 00:21, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete. I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources yet. It's probably too soon for an article. The film itself isn't exactly the most notable thing in the world, but I guess his article could be redirected there. I generally don't think it's worth redirecting disambiguated, low-profile individuals, though. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 15:45, 16 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Merge to Oakland Athletics minor league players. I remind everyone that WP:GNG is a prerequisite, but not a guarantee of the subject's inclusion as a stand-alone Wikipedia article. Even when a particular subject is clearly notable, editors may decide that the subject is better covered as part of a larger article or list, and for most minor league baseball players they are better covered proportionately and in the context of their minor league contemporaries. This is called "editorial judgment," which is often confused with notability; they are not the same thing. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 14:28, 16 December 2015 (UTC) reply

WP:BLP of a blogger and musician. This makes no substantive claim of notability, as opposed to mere existence, for either endeavour — and all it has for referencing is IMDb (which is not a reliable or notability-conferring source, per WP:IMDB/RS) and a blurb on The Huffington Post (which is not substantive enough to get her over WP:GNG as the article's only valid source.) WP:TOOSOON would appear to apply here. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when her notability and sourceability can be shown better than they are right now.

Illegal prime

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An "illegal prime" is an illegal number that happens to be a prime number; it appears that the idea is interesting to some people because you can put it on a website or something and say "hey, check out this prime number", and then the legal case against you might be weaker than if you were just publishing a random illegal number. (This is all rather theoretical, because the specific information being encoded in the examples cited, the code for the DeCSS program, has already been published in its full form by many people, in most cases with no legal repercussions.) Anyway, this concept, whether interesting or not, seems to lack notability. Of all the references here, most are to self-published websites (which probably shouldn't be getting cited at all), one is to a Wall Street Journal article that doesn't specifically mention illegal primes, and finally there's a short article in The Register which, if I'm counting correctly, spends 2 of its 6 sentences talking specifically about illegal primes. There simply does not appear to be any significant coverage of this concept. Korny O'Near ( talk) 00:42, 7 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep. The Prime Pages is a respected site we often cite. The Register had a second article later. [5] Google quickly finds more sources, e.g. [6] in Math Horizons, [7] in ExtremeTech, [8] in SF Crowsnest, [9] by Rael Dornfest in O'Reilly, [10] by David S. Touretzky at Carnegie Mellon University.

Keep I think there is a decent claim to notability made in the article. If the sources are not adequate, the proper course of action is to tag specific claims that are unsourced or improperly sourced with an inline {{cn}} tag, or in extreme cases, place a general tag at the top of the article. We are trying to build an encyclopedia here, not tear it down. Please note, also, that the nominator previously blanked the article and redirected it to illegal number without adding any material from this article to the target.

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While the expression "people watching" is certainly very common, there does not seem to be a definition beyond the meaning of the two words. The sources provided here are more like examples and do not define the concept well enough for an encyclopedia article. Besides the sources have little to do with what is claimed in the article.

WP:BLP of a performance artist, which makes no particularly strong claim of notability as opposed to mere existence — and further, the sourcing here is almost entirely to non-notable blogs rather than reliable source media coverage. Even the one publication here that can ever actually count for anything whatosever, Curve, in this instance just offers a blurby little four question mini-interview rather than a genuinely substantive article about her. But it's a longstanding principle of AFD that because they represent the subject talking about herself, and thus are subject to the same problems that apply to self-published public relations profiles, interviews cannot count toward getting an article subject over WP:GNG — that source would be acceptable for some supplementary confirmation of facts after the rest of the sourcing around it was already solid enough to satisfy GNG, but her notability has not been properly demonstrated if it's the only valid source you have to offer. I'm willing to withdraw this if the sourcing can be fixed, but this version of the article is not sourced well enough to be considered keepable. Delete.

Of the two Xtra articles you added, one is substantively about her while the other just namechecks her existence a single time in an article about something else — which means that the second one doesn't count toward GNG at all, and the first one counts as one point toward a GNG score that's still sitting at one because none of the other sources count for anything. And the "academic paper" citation may suffer from the same problem — is she a major subject of it, or does she just get glancingly namechecked on page 94 of a work that isn't otherwise about her? I can't tell without seeing the text of the book for myself, but it does make a difference. Bearcat ( talk) 22:42, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply

It takes several — not just one — sources which are substantively about the subject — not just blurbs or passing mentions — to pass GNG. There's no points checklist per se, but it does take multiple substantive sources before GNG is met. Bearcat ( talk) 04:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep or userfy I think there's a lot of coverage, but she's not a mainstream artist which makes this a much tougher case. Performance art has never been a heavily covered subject since it's not collectible and is ephemeral and therefore of less value to our culture. That's she's a queer performance artist complicates it further. I'm not saying those are reasons to keep, but things to keep in mind when evaluating the article. I think she just barely passes GNG and if the closer disagrees, I'd plead to userfy the article as possibly a case of WP:TOOSOON since much of her coverage is recent.

Keep - The article María V. Martínez has been proposed for deletion because it is said that it fails WP:SOLDIER - where Command Sgt Majors are not notable however if she were a SgtMajor of the Army then she would be. It should be made clear that, unlike the claim of the nominator, the creator feels that her notability has nothing to do with her rank, if that were the case then many Medal of Honor recipients would not qualify because of their rank. Her notability has to do with her achievements and accomplishments in the military.

I believe her to be notable, not only because she is one of the few Latina/Hispanic Women to reach her rank, but because she is the Senior Enlisted Adviser to the Director of the Army Diversity Office in the Pentagon, Washington D.C., a very important position in the U.S. military. She is also the recipient of two Legion of Merit medals, a medal which ranks as the third highest United States Military decoration (after the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Medal). Martínez was also honored in 1989, she was recognized as the "Soldier of the Year" by the Milwaukee Recruiting Battalion.

She has also been awarded the following recognition's:

Recruiter of the Year 1987-88
Soldier of the Year 1989 Milwaukee Recruiting Battalion.
Department of Defense (DOD) Hispanic Image Award
National GI Forum Military Person of the Year, Washington DC

Delete. NCOs are never kept just for doing their job unless they are the most senior NCO in the service. Her awards just aren't high enough for notability - many of them are internal awards recognised only by the US Army and the remainder are fairly minor service awards. The Legion of Merit is far too common to qualify a recipient for notability - you would have to have two Distinguished Service Crosses (not Medals) for that (and note they're for gallantry, not for just doing your job well). Clearly fails WP:SOLDIER and all other standards of notability. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 15:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Delete - fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. That aside I disagree with Necrothesp's reasoning above as lacking any basis in policy (WP:SOLDIER is of course only an essay and is in no way prescriptive). Even "the most senior NCO in the service" wouldn't be kept unless they met WP:SIGCOV. Anotherclown ( talk) 10:44, 5 December 2015 (UTC) reply
- It is indeed only an essay. However, any of us who edit military articles know that in practice it is widely accepted at AfD and is a de facto notability standard. Neither do I believe I said that the most senior NCO in a service should be kept per WP:SOLDIER, which is not the case; they are, however, almost invariably kept in practice. The claim that there is no inherent notability is true per strict interpretation of the guidelines; but clearly untrue in the actual interpretation at AfD.

Another thing that makes no sense - the oldest people trivia buffs don't recognize a single Chinese or ANY Asian person outside Japan as being 110 years old, which is astonishing given how 60% of people in the world live in Asia and less then 3% of Asians live in Japan. Australia and Oceania together = 0.53% of global population and if rolled together into a country would be #36 on the most populous country list. Legacypac ( talk) 09:39, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Legacypac, I have some of the same suspicions for track and field, where buffs have deliberately skewed the results. Take a look at the lists at 100 metres#Fastest 100 metres runners, where my buddy Usain Bolt can help make the point. Jamaica and its three million inhabitants accounts for five of the ten fastest time among men, and tiny Trinidad and Tobago with 1.2 million people has three spots in the top 25. Yet there are only three men from all of Europe and another two men from the entire African continent on the top 25. Not one person from all of Asia -- China plus India and several dozen other countries -- appears among the 25 fastest men and only one woman from Asia in the top 25 women. Should we delete all track results or just start with the 100 metres based on the evident bias? Or could there be other confounding factors, both in terms of longevity and track? Alansohn ( talk) 16:04, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

If Chinese competitors were bared from competing by artificially high standards, you might have a point. That would be raciest. Legacypac ( talk) 18:47, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Agreed, if they were "bared" it would be "raciest"; perhaps the reduced weight may help increase speed. But they're not. Everyone in the world can compete in the 100 metres, but most don't and most fall short of the fastest times. I think that there is a confluence of factors of nature, nurture, organization and political structures across the globe in both extreme age and the 100 metres that has led to what appears to be bias to the uninitiated. I have every reason to believe that someone from China or India may one day be the world's fastest and / or the world's oldest, whether the measuring tool is a stopwatch or calendar.

Legacypac, the reason that there are very few non-Japanese Asians on the lists of oldest people is that record-keeping in areas like China and India are generally very poor. Not many people have birth certificates or anything like that, so their ages can't be proven. There's no point in making lists of the oldest people if you don't attempt to verify their ages - anyone can CLAIM to be 110/115/120 or whatever, but that doesn't mean they actually are. That's not to say that there aren't genuine supercentenarians in these places, just not many whose ages can be proven. It's just a case of taking a scientific, sceptical approach to things. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 13:52, 16 December 2015 (UTC) reply

China has records, just not up to Super Old enthusiast standards. All my Chinese friends know when they were born. It's an attack on Chinese culture and maybe race to reject all claims to super long life because of alleged poor documentation Legacypac ( talk) 22:30, 16 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Redirect to List of the verified oldest people (or just delete). No reason for all of these location-specific lists. One list for the world is enough. I suspect redirecting to List of supercentenarians from Oceania will be the more popular idea here, and I'm OK with that too, as a fallback position. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:53, 14 December 2015 (UTC) reply

But that doesn't make any sense. The list of the verified oldest people is only a list of the top 100 oldest people ever, whereas this is a list of the oldest living and oldest ever people from a single country, which is a topic likely to be of interest to people. The two are not the same. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 00:17, 15 December 2015 (UTC) This editor has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

Keep As the largest nation in Oceania, a standalone article is appropriate, and adequate reliable and verifiable sources are provided to support the article. Alansohn ( talk) 05:31, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Then why are there so many discrepancies between Article Oceania and Article Australia which should be a subset of Oceania? If Australia is so important it needs its own article, then is Australia+New Zealand+all the other countries too big a list to justify an article? Also try searching "Australian supercentenarians" - cause all I find are Wikipedia. mirrors of Wikipedia, and a couple blogs that quote Wikipedia. No independant coverage of this as a topic so it fails our criteria for lists at WP:LISTN. Legacypac ( talk) 06:34, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

This Google search on australia supercentenarians -wikipedia gets 10,800 results. The correpsonding search using Oceania gets 2,090 results. If there are discrepancies, they can be fixed, so that's hardly a justification for deletion. Can you point to all of the articles showing "Oceania supercentenarians" as the more common title?

Keep. Australia is the largest nation in Oceana, Just as the US is the largest in North America.

Keep. Australia has a high number of cases fully verified and big chances to see an increasing longevity rate in the future. No plausible reasons to delete this page.

User:Legacypac, I also looked through the edits of User:Ollie231213. While this editor has made many edits to longevity articles, they have also made many to football related topics. The SPA tag, which states that the user has made "few or no edits" outside the subject matter does not apply. It is not acceptable to just start casting WP:ASPERSIONS at any editor one disagrees with! Please be very careful before continuing with these personal attacks. Attacking editors rather than making a case with policy is unlikely to produce the desired results. Jacona ( talk) 20:45, 16 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Merge or Redirect to the Oceania article. The less list-clutter, the better. I believe this fails WP:LISTN since all but two references are GRG links and nothing discussing this particular list.

It's even simpler then that since outside Austrilia there are only 2 people from New Zealand and 1 other person that are supposed to be on the list. We are talking over 90% overlap. Legacypac ( talk) 03:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)# reply

I think there are two problems: One is the overlap you mentioned. The other is the fact, that Oceania is a continent and we have lists of supercentenarians from all continents, Australia is a country, and we have lists of supercentenarians from different bigger and important countries, e.g. Australia, USA, Canada, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan and so on. This creates an overlap and I cannot not see a problem in this fact, if both lists would be updated regularly. So Australian fans update the Australian list and continent fans update the Oceania list. No one is discriminated in this case, what we have now. There is no significant reason for a change.-- 31.16.61.124 ( talk) 11:49, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply

The European continent list e.g. ends at rank 50. Many European countries there do not have a supercentenarian in this area. So this work would be destroyed - look at the Swiss or Austrian supercentenarians and show me where I can find them on the European list - both lists of Swiss and Austrian supercentenarians were deleted and work was destroyed. Think about that, please, before you will delete other countries like in this case Australia.-- Kachelus ( talk) 21:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Merge means that whatever's in the country list is added to the continent list before the country list is deleted. EEng ( talk) 21:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

The Oceania list does not include all the people on this list but it should. Merging solves that problem. We already merged 4 European country lists to the continent article so arguing against that is too late. There is no reason the list has to stop at 100 people - why not 1000 which is another valid number. As for this country being big enough for a list - how about Belgium - is it small enough to not have a list? Legacypac ( talk) 21:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Madagascar Oil

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Outside of existing issues of poor quality article, not quite neutral, COI/SPA editing, complete lack of references, this also to me does not seem to meet notability. There's very little in mainstream press - all is either arcane financial or industry (oil) stuff. This is the closest I could get, the financial section of the Mail about a deal earlier this year: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-3043592/SMALL-CAP-MOVERS-Shares-Madagascar-Oil-double-growing-optimism-oilers-lifts-AIM.html Whilst trying to apply notability criteria to this and comparing to industry peers, this company felt considerably smaller and less notable than others. For example it's the only entry in the oil companies of madagascar category, so I looked at aussie companies and they dwarfed this company by revenue, suggesting this company is small and not notable unless there is something specific which makes it so, and I can't see that anywhere.

Keep. I agree about COI editing, the bad state of the article, lack of references etc. However, as it has been established in Afd cases before, the size of the company is not an argument for notability, so this comparison with aussi companies is irrelevant. Also, for GNG, not necessarily the mainstream media is needed. Also industry-focused sources may satisfy GNG if the source is independent and reliable and provids significant coverage. There are that kind of sources available. Also, there are articles in Reuters ( [12], [13]), Financial Times ( [14], [15]), The Telegraph ( [16], [17], [18]), also probably BBC ( [19]), Bloomberg ( [20]), local newspapers L'Express de Madagascar ( [21], [22]), Madagascar Tribune ( [23]). So, there is enough mainstream coverage. Beagel ( talk) 18:19, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Marcus Giavanni

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable local politician and self-styled "Google+ Conversation Authority and entrepreneur". Has run unsuccessfully for office as a write-in candidate 3 times (once for Governor of Colorado and twice for Mayor of Denver). Fails the notability criteria at both GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. The article had been redirected to Denver mayoral election, 2015 yesterday. However, two SPAs have now repeatedly reverted the redirect. This previous version of the article yields no other credible claims to notability. A search for further sources based on that version shows that during the 2015 Denver Mayor election he had a talk show on KFNX [25] which also broadcasts paid programs, the sonic equivalent of advertorials. His show was sponsored by his own companies, neither of which are notable— SMO Worldwide and forsalebyownercompany.com—which he plugged on the show when not plugging his candidacy. I have no idea whether it is still being broadcast. His 1999 book is self-published (background here). Like UkPaolo, I believe a straight delete is in order rather than restoring the redirect. This was not a notable candidate in any of the three elections in which he ran. Voceditenore ( talk) 15:14, 14 December 2015 (UTC) Updated by Voceditenore ( talk) 07:45, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete. An unsuccessful candidate for office does not get over WP:NPOL on that basis, but may have a Wikipedia article only if you can properly demonstrate and source that they would qualify for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of their candidacy. But that hasn't been shown here, as there's no sourcing or substance about anything but his candidacies. Agreed that it's an outright delete and not a suitable redirect — nothing here suggests that he's remotely plausible as a topic that people would actually be looking for on Wikipedia. "Google+ Conversation Authority" certainly is not a substantive claim of notability, for the record — if I do a web search on that term with a "-giavanni" constraint to filter this particular one out of the results, there are just eight hits left of which every last one is an irrelevant string of SEO keyword salad in a page within Giavanni's real estate site that's already noted in the nomination. So none of them proves that anybody else really thinks that's a real thing, and accordingly I'm getting a distinct whiff of self-promotional WP:COI here even if I can't prove that outright.

Keep the above search includes unnecessarily restrictive keywords which limit the number of relevant results. A less biased search reveals many articles and references from numerous independent sources, such as:
- An article in an image-line series about notable users of their popular FL studio software.
- Three articles on TorrentFreak about piracy and music streaming services featuring Benn Jordan.
- An article on HeadphoneCommute which has conducted over 1000 electronica music interviews, reviews and articles since 2008.
- Several other independent reviews, such as 2014 review by Inyourspeakers media, 2012 review by IndieCurrent, and a 2012 Hardscrabble review at Music Review Database.
- A page on BBC.co.uk's music pages after being features in one of their radio shows in 2009.
- A Reddit AMA with approximately 300 participants
- The Flashbulb appears in position 2,895 on a popular artist and album ranking site out of over 83,000 albums ranked independently by 21,000 rankings lists.
- At least 14 tabs contributed by 7 different members at ultimate guitar, and 18 over at 911Tabs.
- Traces of dozens of events at popular venues across multiple countries featuring Benn as the main attraction, most of which are no longer persisted on the original sites themselves.

Keep Firstly, the criteria is WP:MUSIC. He needs to meet just one of the 12 criteria there. One such is "Has won or been nominated for a major music award". He has been winner of a London International Awards. So notability is not an issue.

In searching for London International Awards, I have found nothing of note. A proper award such as: Brit Awards, Grammy Nods, etc. that were properly sourced would sway my position. Last.fm is an archaic website of little importance which is easily manipulated and hacked by bots. Since there are no independant references to confirm, this article fails WP:MUSIC.

Comment: I don't know Benn Jordan personally, but as a fan I've given the page an overhaul based on my collection of his works, and cursory google searches. Updates include a dozen or so new references and external links, several of which are from independent new media sources. I've also added some updated facts about his projects in the Chicago community, removed dead links, added his more recent works, re-formatted the releases under different aliases to be less prominent, made the 'musical artist navbox' template consistent with the discography in the article.

Hopefully these improvements will put this matter to rest, along with the clear evidence that the instigator of this whole issue, User:Musicchief007 ( contributions - Reported Here), is nothing but a vandal with a personal vendetta against the artist.

~~Delete~~: not compelling argument for keep. Fails WP:MUSIC. Last fm is a BADCHART under WP:MUSIC. Googled the man and very little came up. How this article and others involving this man survived several years on Wikipedia impugns the integrity of Wikipedia itself which as an editor, I am attempting to do with my vote. I'm sure he is a lovely man though. Maybe he will have a break through hit and win a legitimate award or be a subject of a substantial broadcast as the editor notes and then He should create a single new page limited to notable information. No one gives a damn what hand he uses to play guitar, what disabilities he may or may not have or what sort of environment he lives in. It's not notable and reads like a promo piece. It would be helpful if all parties stop numerous posts on here. Just vote explain it and shut up and move on. It's Wikipedia.

~~DELETE~~: In order for a release to be noted, there must be notablitity for it. It must chart on a valid chart WP:MUSIC. ""Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself", No releases referenced are released on any label of any repute whatsoever, and most are purportedly released on his own label. These do not qualify. Furthermore, award requirements are one of global repute "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, or Choice award." None are claimed nor refereneced. FInally, "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.". The claimed Chicago Paper is not a 'substantional' broadcast segment. Such criteria would be a lead story, not something buried in the depths of an online-only article for local reasons. Finally, Mr. Jordan fails the test of WP:MUSIC as an author and composer: "Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition.".

The article gives vague references of some compositions, which are not sourced, and are thus not singularly notable. Wikipedia is a place of reference for the average person to be able to do a valid search on actually notable persons and topics, from actual noteworthy events - not fringe or downright fraudulent posts. This is not a playground for people such as Benn Jordan and his friends. Not reliable long term user has stated KEEP. All are new or unknown accounts. I do not see compelling reasons that the user Musicchief007 is a troll, nor do I find it relevant in my decision, to wit, that based on the foregoing, this page is to be DELETED as it is a classic example of advert. — Truthbetold123222 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Weak keep, as I believe this German music magazine article and this TorrentFreak article, combined with the Chicago Tribune article, suffices to push him just over the WP:GNG threshold. However, I see that there also seems to be a walled garden of another 9 or so articles related to his works, none of which seem to assert sufficient notability for keeping, and which should probably all be deleted, even if this article passes review. -- The Anome ( talk) 20:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Keep: The Flashbulb's last.fm page shows his tracks played 14.5 Million times by 291.7 thousand unique listeners. This only includes registered users of last.fm, and does not include other listeners. For comparison, reference Jonathan_Coulton, a significant artist whose work is self-released or released through his own label.

Keep This deletion request is obvious trolling with the added complexity of an artist that prefers not to do many mainstream interviews. Both his | Chicago Tribune and aforementioned Sun Times pieces took the cover of the weekend editions of 2 very mainstream media sources. It cannot be linked directly, but even his Spotify plays/rankings for his top songs double and triple similar artists who are friendlier with the media like Squarepusher or Venetian Snares. If we're erasing a decade of users' work creating this page, then we should be removing a lot of other well-known electronic artists from Wikipedia under this precedent. If the content of the page is weak, then update it. But removing a page of an artist with millions of music streams and Youtube views, let alone 20-something physical albums is just going to continue this troll's cat and mouse game.

Mayors of places this size can meet WP:NPOL #3 if they can be substanced and sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG — but a city has to be considerably larger than 28K before a mayor gets an automatic presumption of notability just for existing. But the sourcing here isn't adequate, and there's no substantive content here beyond "he exists, he went to high school, he started a business, he became mayor, the end" — the substance necessary to get a mayor into Wikipedia would involve writing and sourcing content about things he did as the mayor, not unsourced background information about his personal life.

Redirect to Public sector ethics which is at least cited. Ethics in public administration contains only one very poor reference, added by an SPA back in September, who also added most of the uncited content in a single edit; the reference appears to be WP:COI to boot. The article was in fact a bit better before that addition, but brief and totally uncited. Given the strong overlap, and the not unreasonable alternative title, a redirect seems the right solution.

The result was redirect to 2008 Mumbai attacks. Delete, merge and keep are about evenly divided. I must assign less weight to the "keep" opinions because they do not address the policy-based reasons for deletion, namely, that we are not a memorial and topics must meet notability requirements. On the other hand, two "delete" opinins are similarly poorly reasoned. On balance, though, we do have a (policy-based) consensus to not keep the article, but not quite to delete it. The compromise is a redirect back to the main article, so that editors can figure out among themselves what, if anything, to merge back. Sandstein 09:32, 22 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Articles for deletion/List of victims of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

In the wake of this discussion regarding a split article for the November 2015 Paris attacks, I thought I'd reintroduce this. WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:N is in violation with this article and probably aside from the government employees, none of the victims seem notable enough to warrant an article of their own, even a multiple-person article such as this. Parsley Man ( talk) 03:23, 14 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment - how many of those Gov't employees only have articles because they were a victim of this attack? All those articles are now questionable. I don't see 343 separate articles for every fire-fighter that died in the WTC. - ^theWOLFchild 21:44, 14 December 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't question notability of all those officers as they have been posthumously been given various military decorations by Government. Also, a few of them passed GNG even before their death but simple didn't have their article because we lack editors working in this field. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 03:41, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Ah, so according to that logic, as long as we have editors willing to do so, WP can just fill up with articles about people who have been mentioned in the media once or twice? Or have been part of a notable event? Would you advocate the creation of 343 separate articles for every fire-fighter that died in 9/11? I'm sure we could find each of their names in a source somewhere. - ^theWOLFchild 13:12, 15 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Just look at the page, and tell me if it's not that way. You may want to take your own advice on WP:BATTLEGROUND and being overly passionate. (Also, you can keep saying that repeating the AFD after 2 months is WP:GAME, but we can keep saying you are totally incorrect because the AFD ended as "no consensus", so you may as well stop calling that "gaming" before it's taken as a personal accusation.)

Fails WP:PROF. The only independent source that names him is Scroll.in, describing an industry event of no actual significance. His claim to fame is a paper from a dozen years ago purporting to show that homeopathic arsenic can cure arsenic poisoning. This has not been replicated. That does not necessarily disqualify him from notability - Jacques Benveniste is known primarily for his fraudulent work on homeopathy - but in Benveniste's case we have non-trivial coverage in substantial sources, whereas here we have only clickbait.

This was previously nominated for deletion on notability and WP:V grounds. The citations included are either broken, or do not support any of the claims that would arguably make this person notable. There's no support whatsoever for the assertion that he was awarded an OBE, which is the type of thing that should be easily verifiable. JCO312 ( talk) 16:08, 7 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep. It is easily verifiable by searching the London Gazette. Where else did you expect to find it other than the official record of such things? While an OBE does not provide inherent notability, I think that if he was also the first black Anglican priest in Bermuda he's probably sufficiently notable. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 16:44, 7 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  The article notes:
  Canon Thomas Nisbett would certainly be welcomed with open arms into the local Anglican clergy these days, but 50 years ago was a completely different story.
  In 1962, having finished his theology studies at Codrington College in Barbados, he couldn’t find anyone to sponsor his ordination.
  His mentor Bishop Anthony Williams, who encouraged him to go to school, resigned without giving Canon Nisbett the consent necessary to be ordained into the church.
  ...
  But in a stroke of divine intervention, the Bishop of Barbados Lewis Evans went out on a limb to sponsor him in exchange for two years of work in the Caribbean country.
  Canon Nisbett went on to make Bermuda history by becoming the Island’s first black Anglican rector and serving as chaplain to Governor Edwin Leather.

  The article notes:
  As a part of his duties, the Bishop will also inaugurate a lecture series to honour the lifelong work and achievements of Canon Thomas Nisbett in a special service at the Cathedral on Saturday, November 17 at 3pm. During the message in that service, the Bishop is expected to expound on the Bible and its place in Anglican Theology.
  “The lecture series is in honour of Canon Thomas and Winifred Nisbett,” Rev Nick Dill, priest in charge for the Anglican parish of Pembroke. “Canon Nisbett has the honour of being the first black Anglican clergy, the first black canon and the first black rector. He has broken through a number of the various barriers with tremendous grace, seeking matters of faith rather than matters of politics, and helped temper others who have a slightly different way about them.”

Hello, I am new to Wiki. Only write little text, to try out. I think this article is in line with other articles on IETF leaders for documentation, I make it intentionally simple,minimal. I used other pages as idea how to write. So I write similar to pages on Russ Housley, Harald Tveit Alvestrand and others. Maybe this is not good way? It is not intended as Promotion for OWASP or IETF, simply as neutral reference. I think the leaders are good to know because they are responsible. And they also do many good things for the Internet. So I think it is good to mention them.

And I think both organisations for IETF and OWASP are important and should be mentioned in Wiki. I see that you want to delete the OWASP page as well. I do not think this is right. But maybe Wiki pages do not mention organisations anymore? Maybe you can help improve the text of the page?

I do not understand the text of "no secondary sources" or "salting is an option"? Can you maybe help improve the page?

Many greetings, Xu (Xhowiet)

High school sports leagues are rarely notable and this does not seem to be an exception. Subject matter fails WP:GNG and any other notability measure I can find. References appear to be local in nature and/or not third party and have no measure to establish notability. This article was deleted on November 3, 2013 based on the PROD. Approximately a year later it was restored without a reason given and has had several edits since then. It seems to still fail the reason given in the PROD, but because editors have been involved in the article I believe that a discussion is warranted.

Weak keep and improve, or maybe merge and redirect. I can understand the concerns raised above about promotional content. On the other hand, there is legitimate evidence for the long term notability of this product line, such as this 2006 New York Times article ("the most successful collection in Cartier’s history"). A possible alternative would be to merge some of the content from this page, with independent sourcing such the Times article, to the Timeline section of Cartier (jeweler); but ultimately there may be more valid and sourceable content than will fit neatly there.

This article is not an encyclopedic entry, but ultimately an advertisement for a commercial product. ViperSnake151 Talk 00:53, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep - the article describes a properly-cited clinical technique with multiple reliable sources. It is therefore notable regardless of the apparent COI of the article's author and the fact that the two models of equipment mentioned are made by the same company. Clearly this feels somewhat uncomfortable but the topic is encyclopedic nonetheless. Someone did give the author a COI notice a year after he wrote the article; and as it happens he did contribute to related topics (not products) as well.

Comment: Apart from similar entries on Spanish and Portuguese WP, all I can find on the interwebs to support the existence of an "Altiplano plate" is this map on Commons. But where is that from? Commons has no "reliable sources" rule. Other mentions of "Altiplano plate" are misprints or mistranslations of "plateau": Altiplano itself, as well as referring to the Andean zone, can be a general term for "plateau".

Delete per guidelines: Bird (2003), the only paper about it, is a primary source, secondary sources (like textbooks or literature reviews) are needed to establish notability.

Keep per Stifle and Blackmetalbaz at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waylander (band), who wrote that the band passes WP:MUSIC by having albums on Century Media, Listenable and Blackend, all of which are notable.
Here is a source about the subject:
- Patterson, Dayal (2013). Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult. New York: Feral House. p. 410. ISBN 1936239760. Retrieved 2015-12-22.
  The book notes:
  Though Norway dominated folk black metal during the nineties, Ireland, another country with a rich history of folklore and folk music, also made something of a name for itself during this decade. Primordial, Cruachan, and Waylander are three respected Irish acts offering folk-influenced metal compositions, though it is undoubtedly Primordial who have maintained the closest relationship to black metal, to the extent that 1995 debut Imrama had only a few musical and thematic hints toward folk content.
  Although this is a passing mention, that the author called "Waylander" a "respected Irish act" that offered "folk-influenced metal compositions" strongly indicates that the band likely has received significant coverage in reliable offline metal magazines.

Eye Institute, low vision and blind rehabilitation "Josefina C. Bignone"

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No indication that this organisation is notable, as demonstrated by a search for the Spanish-language name. Cordless Larry ( talk) 09:04, 29 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment Checking with some other search options, it is apparent that the institute is rarely referred to with it's full and official name. But again, I'm not fluent enough in Spanish to see if the mentions or sources are good enough. w.carter -Talk 10:17, 29 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep Since no one else seemed to pay it much attention, I did what search I could and added some refs and facts to the article. It has served a great number of patients for fourteen years and it has been mentioned on the websites of an Argentinian newspaper, the socialist party, the municipality and by government representatives. w.carter -Talk 23:50, 7 December 2015 (UTC) reply
- And if kept, I suggest the article be moved to "Josefina C. Bignone Eye Institute" since the present title is a remnant from the first rather bad translation. w.carter -Talk 09:32, 8 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Not sure basically but perhaps keep as I speak Spanish so I would certainly be able to view the sources but either way, this seems acceptable perhaps for now. Notifying DGG who asks to be notified where he has familiar input and I also believe he may have some beneficial input. SwisterTwister talk 06:51, 8 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Delete. "mentions" is the word for it. The newspaper article is usable towards notability-- the other two are mere mentions. No evidence of any particular importance in the city. We wouldn't hesitate to remove this if it were in the US. DGG ( talk ) 17:11, 8 December 2015 (UTC) reply
- This was my experience, too. I found lots of mentions, but nothing much that looked like significant coverage. Cordless Larry ( talk) 22:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Relisting comment: Hopefully we can find some spanish speakers who can give a better evaluation of the available sources -- RoySmith (talk) 00:25, 14 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete - not enough in-depth coverage in independent sources to show notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:56, 21 December 2015 (UTC) reply
