Keep - As an old age regularly publishing scientific journal, it sounds like it would meet the criteria of BEING a reliable reference for other articles. If it could be used as a reference for other things, it would seem to me that it would be notable enough for an article of its own. We have articles on pretty much every OTHER academic journal out there. It would be my understanding that all this article needs to do is establish that it is, indeed, an academic journal, and thus deserving of an article.

Delete: Further clarification on why I nominated this: This is a list of four Catholic universities in the US that the article's creator claims offer MFA programs. I believe this is directory-like information (
WP:NOTDIRECTORY) that is too specific. Drilling down to the individual program level makes this like a catalog or a program guide, and on a related note, lists of individual degree offerings are discouraged on individual uni articles (
WP:UNIGUIDE). In addition, after some searching, I was unable to find a comprehensive list of Catholic universities that offer MFA programs, and this information is not in the one reference on the page. Also, I am unsure how to best word this, but I think lists of this variety border on promotional--because it's not just a list of Catholic universities (perfectly fine) but a list of specific programs (products) that prospective students (customers) could pursue (buy). Finally, even if others believe the list should be kept, I take some issue with the way it is worded. If nothing else, it should be changed to something like "List of Master of Fine Arts Programs at Catholic Universities" or something. The university is what is Catholic; the degree is not.

Inherent notability is misapplied in this case and for every other very non-notable minor stop as well. Inherent notability, such as of train stations like
Gare du Nord also mean that notability is easily verifiable. If notability can't be verified by independent sources, then the station simply isn't notable. Notability of some train station simply isn't inherited by minor light rail stops, non-inheritance is a guiding principle in every other AfD discussion and it ought to be applied to rail articles as well. What do you think, @
Bobrayner: and @
Z22:?
AadaamS (
talk) 06:39, 13 February 2015 (UTC)reply
I never involved in the history of debates about inherent notability of rail (heavy or light) stations. This sounds a lot more like the debates of inherent notability of high schools vs. middle/elementary schools. The results of long standing discussions there were that high schools are inherently notable. There is no need to include independent sources. Primary sources for verification purpose are enough for not getting article deleted because there is no need to prove that a particular high school is notable. Coming back to transportation, I think that it is comparable to whether rail stations vs. bus stops are inherently notable. I would say that train stations are, but not bus stops.
The reason for me to think that train stations are inherently notable goes to the practice (at least in the United States) of public involvement in the creation of the stations. A new train station will involve multiple rounds of public meetings in multiple municipalities. There are flights for and against trains stations between neighboring towns/cities, etc. Sometime stations have to be moved and the location is typically the name of the each station. Enough analysis goes into the passenger volume for each station. The opening of each train station typically has some sort of media event. In contrary, there is not much public input to the locations of bus stops. No specific analysis for each bus stop and no media event for each bus stop opening. So I would say train stations are likely to be inherently notable. And if so, it may not need to have secondary sources to be cited for the purpose of notability proof. It still need some reliable primary sources for verifiability.
Z22 (

Keep. Train stations are notable. This is a common outcome and that carries weight. AadaamS is correct that tram stops are generally merged, but light rail, which generally runs on independent right-of-way, is treated as heavy rail in these discussions.

Keep as all the others state about the stipulation that rail stations are notable.

Oakshade (
talk) 06:41, 13 February 2015 (UTC)reply
Any industrial or office building in any city costs millions to build and require planning permissions. Such reports and studies are enough to verify the existence of a station, but as primary sources they cannot be used to verify its notability. We need
WP:RS for that and none have come forth and that itself is an indication that this station isn't (yet) notable.
AadaamS (
talk) 08:04, 13 February 2015 (UTC)reply
Not all industrial or official building have to do environmental impact reports. If there is any variance for a new building to be approved, it will be done at the zoning or building board which is localized to the specific community. New train stations (at least in the United States) need environmental impact studies, passenger analysis and multiple rounds of public meetings in wider scope (not localized to a specific community).

(I'm still looking for scoping studies and construction timeline of the new station, and a better closure date of the old station.) As I posted in WP Trains, if I can do this with an article from scratch, then any editor who's willing to do some research can do it with any train station.

Pi.1415926535 (
talk) 06:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)reply
Looking through the sources you added, my opinion is that the one citing 3 million ridership is good for verifying notability of the line as a whole if it was independently verified, but not this individual station. Planning permissions and studies are primary sources. Primary and self-published sources can't verify notability. Primary sources are fine for verifying content of an article, not the notability of its subject. The information would be perfect for Roebling town or River Line articles. You are clearly a much better researcher on this subject than I am and you still haven't managed to solidly verify the notability of this station. I already trawled though Google Books, News and Archives to find notability and failed, so yes I have actually done some research but I didn't succeed in proving notability and that's why I launched this AfD to begin with. This I do for every AfD I have nominated. The very fact that you as a clearly skilled railroad researcher are citing
WP:SPS and primary sources instead of
WP:RS like New York Times or Railway Gazette is an indication to me that notability is an issue, the outcome of this AfD nonwithstanding.
AadaamS (

For this particular station, I think it should be enough to meet the GNG just by some of the inline citations in the article:
Roebling is identified by NJ Future (an organization not related to NJ Transit, the line operator) to be one of only a handful of stations that have the greatest potential for development of TOD projects.
The historical picture of station in the 1950s and description of relaunching of the River Line in the Images of America book series (also independent of NJ Transit).
The station is the subject of the
entire chapter in the document created by Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (independent of NJ Transit).
I haven't had a chance to look at more citations, but just the above are enough to convince me of meeting the GNG.

Hi @

Comment Regardless of whether this individual station or this set of stations will survive AfD or not, this begs the question of the generally accepted standard of notability for train stations. Some editors mentioned that all stations is notable as per common outcomes. I checked the
WP:RAILOUTCOMES but could not find the indication to suggest that there is consensus about about rail stations. It further suggests to go to the
WP:STATION essay. It said, "It may be considered that if enough attributable information exists about a station or railway line to write a full and comprehensive article about it, it may make sense for the subject to have its own article." That does not say about train stations are presumed to be notable. Also in the Train project page notability
essay, it has a very high bar for the infrastructure and buildings (stations included) such that one has to reach the historical status. It also refers back to WP:STATION for the ongoing discussion about the notability. Therefore, there is no clear consensus or clear common outcomes in term of the stations. At the very least, if there is a commonly accepted standard developed by consensus to deviate from the GNG, that should be documented as such at the essay level, or at the
WP:GEOFEAT guideline level. If there is no consensus on that yet, the topic of station notability should be specifically discussed, perhaps
there.

Comment Whilst this article is likely to be kept - people have found more evidence of this station's notability - the notion of inherent notability of railway stations is circular reasoning. It's impossible to square with the
GNG and with our existing deletion processes. An AfD is Wikipedia's usual venue to assess whether or not a topic is notable; it's obviously fallacious to argue at an AfD that we should close it as a "keep" because we don't need to assess the notability because, err, different articles were previously found to be notable at some other AfD.
bobrayner (

Whether you agree with it or not, Wikipedia works on consensus, and consensus, formed over many AfDs, is that some classes of article are inherently notable and are almost never (if ever) deleted. Not many, but a few, and this is one of them (along with secondary schools and universities, to name another couple of examples). It has indeed been argued in the past that maybe these classes shouldn't go to AfD in the first place, but that hasn't yet been agreed. Nonetheless, it is a perfectly valid argument to say that the article should be kept because clear consensus is to keep these classes of article. --

Consensus at
WP:PHARM and
WP:CHEMS is that chemical compounds must meet the
general notability guideline to be included in Wikipedia. This is not a notable chemical compound. Clonazolam is not a pharmaceutical drug, but rather a designer drug only sold online. The made-up names "Clonazolam" and "Clonitrazolam" are intended to sound like the names of benzodiazepine pharmaceuticals, but they are only used on online recreational drug forums - they do not appear anywhere in the scientific literature, patent literature, Google Scholar, etc. The first two references in the article mention this chemical compound, but only as one in a large number of other similar compounds. There is nothing that distinguishes this one from the many other non-notable ones mentioned. The rest of the references (currently numbers 3 through 7) do not even mention this compound - they are general references about benzodiazepines that support text that is about benzodiazepines in general, not about this compound in particular. There are no
reliable sources (or more specifically
WP:MEDRS-compliant sources) to suggest that any claims of effects in humans are anything but speculation. Designer drugs certainly can become notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, but this one is not ... at least not yet. Per
WP:N,
WP:V,
WP:OR, and
WP:SYNTH this page should be deleted. --

Edgar181:, the erowid link that was removed in a recent edit by a deletion advocate was a web page published in 2004, 11 years ago, and identifies clonitrazolam by name. I believe this satisfies
WP:GNG. Furthermore, I believe anything that could be construed as violating
WP:OR has been removed from the article already. Lastly, the lack of
WP:MEDRS compliant compounds on Wikipedia would immediately condemn hundreds of psychoactive compounds to deletion, as they are not in current medical use. Many such pages make it from two-sentence blurbs with a research codename for a title up to fully-fledged medicinal pages with the concession that they are stubs, yes, but should not be deleted.

Keep the article. This thing already has sufficient (international) coverage for an article now, and based on how extremely over the top it is, that fame is very unlikely to fade completely. Or to put it more directly: this stupid software is probably going to make further news by actually costing lives. (I am afraid it's also likely to play into the hands of religious fundamentalists because rejection of this is one thing that basically all Muslims -- and also all serious Christians -- can agree on. But that's not relevant for whether Wikipedia should report on it. After all, Wikipedia also has articles on criminals.) But to reiterate: The notability is already there. I am just arguing why this will probably not be seen differently in retrospect 10 years from now. Now the images are a different matter. Not every article needs an illustration, and there is precedent for censorship for purely practical concerns such as endangering lives or just extreme indecency or sheer stupidity. Example: I once happened to be around when someone uploaded a detailed photo of a woman producing a turd. Taken from below. Removing that without discussion was in a way censorship, but was absolutely necessary and totally uncontroversial. I think the images on this article have a similar status. While nobody should feel revolted just for seeing a normal body function from an unusual perspective, this just doesn't belong into an encyclopedia. The typical reaction by Muslims, including the nice, normal and tolerant majority, but also by many other adherents of monotheistic religions will be similar. As an atheist I don't feel like that, but respecting it is still the right thing to do and is basically on the same level as not urinating in churches. I uninstalled or forgot how to use the scripts necessary to properly propose something for deletion, and I am not going to try doing this by hand. But I suggest that someone should propose the images for deletion.

Sam Walton asked for the sources that establish notability. Though some people don't like it, it's well established that notability is not related to the language in which the source is published. E.g., what is notable in Albania and in Albanian, is a priori notable for the English Wikipedia.
One of the sources currently on the article is in the game review section of
es:eldiario.es, an online newspaper in Spain.
Another is in the global news section of the online edition of
Republika, an Indonesian newspaper with a primarily Muslim readership.
Yet another is in
Vice, a Canadian magazine. (Fortunately the other established newspapers and magazines available online appear to be too responsible to report about this -- nothing good will come of it.) The remaining sources seem to be the typical mix of internet resources. Although this is only indirectly relevant, two of them have sufficient notability to have their own articles in either English+German or Spanish+Catalan:
gulli.com and
es:MeriStation.

A lot of sources might only write on this that the information, instead of being scattered over random blogs, and papers in other languages, is instead on Wikipedia - with useful game play screenshots (not found in more reputable sources). Wikipedia having one of the only (English) articles on this game, is currently playing an active role in the development of this topic.
Magedq (

Vice magazine, which is in English, and the Indonesian newspaper have solved the screenshot problem intelligently by chosing a "select animal" screen from which the visual style and the offensive potential of the software become sufficiently clear because the rest is easily filled in by the imagination. If the Vice article isn't pulled, I don't share your optimism that deleting the Wikipedia article can prevent anything.

Yeah, 'fraid due to the subject matter of the game it's unlikely to be reported on by major news outlets until something they have to report on goes down. That's one of the aspects of Wikipedia's notability policy I've always had a problem with, when Wikipedia can't report on something just because the media at large is unwilling to report on it. I wouldn't mind if this is deleted so long as it's allowed to be recreated when its notability is more "CRYSTAL", I just don't think it's necessary. Also - I personally think the coverage it has already is enough to call for an article, even if it is being under-reported.

Maybe this is a naive question, but from the angle depicted how can you tell the difference between anal sex with a pig and vaginal sex with a pig? Might the image not even depict a neutral pre-coital condition before the player has selected anything? Wouldn't we need some (reliable) source to back up the claim that "Muhammad [is engaged in]
anal sex with a
pig"? It might help to establish
context if we can find a RS that provides commentary on that specific
non-free image. -

Keep as subject meets the verifiability and notability standards for
WP:GNG. There is nothing in
WP:NMODEL that specifies beauty pageant contestants and, in any case, it does not supersede
WP:GNG.
Notability is not temporary and the subject is covered by reliable third-party sources. Article was created in September 2012 by
User:MissAmericaGirl who is neither a sockpuppet nor a junk builder. This nomination, however, is one of a growing series by this nominator in this topic all made about two minutes apart in the wake of a failed mass-nomination. My normal presumption of good faith is strained significantly. -

Comment: Please excuse me asking for clarification. The nominator, in the wake of a failed bundled AfD for which much of the opposition was that it was a bundled AfD, went ahead to singly nominate those entries he nonetheless believes not to be notable, in the hope that people will be willing to advocate deletion of non-notable subjects where they're unwilling to do so with bundled AfDs on procedural grounds, right? What about this do you believe constitutes bad faith?
Addendum: I just looked back over your cut-and-paste Keep votes on these pageant AfDs. You made the first one at 6:43. The second came at 6:50, with six more coming over the next eleven minutes. You cannot possibly be claiming to have made an adequate search for sources in a time frame like that, and I'm quite comfortable with calling that bad faith. Would you care to reconsider?
Ravenswing 03:14, 1 February 2015 (UTC)reply
Delete: My own presumption of good faith would be better served if Dravecky produced the sources he claims exist. Of the four sources in the article, two are primary and promotional sources (pageant websites) which cannot support notability, one seems to be a fan page (and is a broken link in any event), and the fourth is seacoastonline.com, which appears to be an umbrella website serving several small New Hampshire and Maine weeklies, which even if it were proved to be a reliable source would run afoul of WP:GEOSCOPE. Would Dravecky care to come up with some significant coverage in significant media outlets?
Ravenswing 18:38, 31 January 2015 (UTC)reply
Merge to
Miss New Hampshire USA. Notability is possible, but the current sourcing fails to prove it. That doesn't mean Rodriguez can't be covered in a broader topic though. About one paragraph of coverage would be appropriate at the Miss Texas page, and that is about what we have in the article. Incidentally, BLP1E does not apply as it is meant to protect individuals caught up in a news story, not prevent bios on people known primarily for one thing (which is true of most notable people). ROUTINE is a guideline regarding event notability. There is no consensus that it applies also to people. --

Subjects that are "inherently" notable (towns, mountains, pro baseball players with a single at bat, and such) are so-called because they are presumed to be able to pass
WP:GNG if only editors look hard enough. Everything else on Wikipedia (movies, companies, pageant titleholders, and such) must establish their notability by passing
WP:GNG with coverage by multiple references from third-party sources. That's what I've done here. -
Dravecky (

Comment: A fair bit of work, twelve days after your vote. Okay, fair enough. Examining the sources, though, I'm not moved to change my opinion. Every single substantive citation comes from Foster's Daily Democrat, a local small-city paper, and the GNG requires "multiple" substantive sources. Of the rest, the several pageant sources are of course primary and promotional. The Portsmouth Herald article covers the "2008 Miss Hampton Beach" competition, and her short mention there is debarred by
WP:ROUTINE. The Boston Globe citation mentions Folger only in a photo caption. The Business Insider and Las Vegas Sun cites mention the subject only in a list of odds of numerous contestants winning the Miss USA pageant. The Wheelock College cite is a scanty press release linking to one of the Daily Democrat articles. Should any substantive coverage arrive from a media outlet other than the Daily Democrat, I'm willing to revisit my view.
Ravenswing 07:24, 12 February 2015 (UTC)reply
I believe that
this article from the Portsmouth Herald and
this short article (on page 5) of Wheelock Magazine provide sufficient diversity. Also, a couple of the Foster's articles (like
this one) were mirrored from a sister newspaper (The Hampton Union, part of the
Seacoast Media Group) but the online edition of the Union is through a library site with occasional connectivity issues and the Foster's mirror is more easily accessible. (Addendum:
WP:ROUTINE governs events, not people, so while the article might not solely prove the notability of the Miss Hampton Beach pageant itself, it can do for the person that wins it.) -

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure about some of these sources because they seem to be borderline routine – new product announcements, essentially, though they do have the added weight of "first product to be shipped with this cool new tech". The first source, from Boston.com, is a bit meatier than the product announcements, but it's mostly about blind gaming. WidowPC seems like a tangential part of the article. I'm leaning toward keep, but I'm not quite there yet. Maybe I can find something later that is more than just a new product announcement. There are plenty of reviews of their products on

Proposed expansion of the New York City Subway, for example, and
Planned high-speed rail by country are full of such proposals and plans. I know of no specific policy that differentiates between heavy and light rail, but I'm more than happy to be pointed in the right direction.

I'll amend that; I believe that specific proposed/under construction transit stations are often not notable until placed into service, because they tend to lack many sources other than the project itself. When they are actually operating, there is usually more reliable coverage compared to earlier construction/planning stages, where details are more fuzzy. Glancing through a list of transit projects, it seems that heavy rail/subway projects usually have independent articles for their stations, whereas light rail projects do not. I suspect this is less a function of the modal difference than because subways and heavy rail are more expensive and often more controversial, thus garnering significant news coverage.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent

Getting Free has many of the remarkable qualities which distinguished Mr Hinton's first novel, Collision Course (OUP, 1976). For one thing, it is compulsive reading. It begins: 'Johanna's hands were trembling as she picked up"...
Nigel Hinton's Getting Free contains many elements familiar from the traditional adventure srory — pursuit, a spell spent snow-bound in a lonely cottage, a desperate drive in search of help, assorted eccentrics, a hint of the supernatural.

Comment. While the argument by
User:Boleyn in favour of converting this to a redirect to
Cam Brook in Somerset is fully in line with the relevant Wikipedia rules, most of the first page or so of Google hits seems instead to use the term for various parts of the
drainage basin of the
River Cam that flows through Cambridge. It therefore seems to be slightly perverse (rather than "common sense") to have a straight redirect to somewhere quite different.

CommentPWilkinson, you make some interesting comments, do you have a counter-proposal? Do you think a section is needed/useful in a
River Cam to make it a valid dab? 21:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
To be honest, I am finding it difficult to come up with a workable counter-proposal. It would definitely be useful to have a Cam valley section in
River Cam, but I can't currently work out how to write this from reliable sources without synthesis. The problem is that the reliable sources tend to be, for instance, geological and archeological papers that mention the "Cam valley" in relation to sites in Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties but assume that the reader won't need to ask what the Cam valley is. Conversely,
this map, from the Cam Valley Forum website explains it beautifully (including, though it is probably not intending to, why the archeologists and geologists consider places near
Royston and
Saffron Walden to be in the Cam valley), but I very much doubt that we would consider the website reliable.

Comment: The issue with arguing point 5 (author is so notable that all things would inherit notability) is that it's typically applied to people that have achieved notability on par with authors like Shakespeare, JK Rowling, Harper Lee, and the like- people that are considered to be common household names and/or are people whose works are taught on the regular in classrooms across the world (or at least across their respective nations). The catch is what the rule implies but does not state outright: that the person would be so historically notable that it would be extremely unlikely that the author's works would not have been the focus of independent and reliable sources. In other words, if the author is at that level of notability then individual sources would exist for the book. If they don't, then odds are high that the author has not reached that level of notability. It's the same catch that applies to performers/celebrities with a notable fan following: it's expected that someone of that level of celebrity would have articles focusing on them.

Redirect to
Paul R. Martin. I cannot find anything to show that this book is particularly notable outside of its author, nor where the author is so notable that the book would pass on that criteria. There are mentions of this book, but almost solely as a footnote in other books of the same type and not really ones that would be considered reliable per Wikipedia's guidelines. This just isn't notable enough for an entry.

I quote the proposer of the previous PROD: "It appears to be about nothing at all. It gives no details of any preceding system of units. it mentions an Arabic unit of mass which appears irrelevant. I would suggest WP:NOTABLE"
The original editor removed the PROD with a justification which I quote:
"(It provides details about the current system. It provides the details about the system before the current system (Note: Portuguese system). Bahar was used in China to East coast of Africa (Refer:

Problematic
WP:BLP of a person whose primary claim of notability is as a city councillor in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors under
WP:NPOL, and whose sourcing is almost entirely of the
primary (city's own website), unreliable (Blogspot) or "local weekly that's not widely distributed enough to count toward the notability test" (Oshawa Express) varieties. Which leaves the main reason why he might qualify for an article as a single two-day blip of major-daily newspaper coverage that he got when he allegedly committed a crime after he was out of office — but that just makes him a
WP:BLP1E. According to a
ProQuest search, further, he still hadn't actually gone to trial for the crime in question as of the last time any newspaper in all of Canada deigned to write anything about the matter at all (and even that deign was a passing acknowledgement of his existence in an article about the 2014 municipal election, not an article that was in any way substantively about him.) So under BLP1E, we should strongly consider not keeping an article about him as (a) reliable sources covered him only in the context of a single event; (b) he is, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual; and (c) the event is not significant. And under
WP:PERP, we should strongly consider not keeping an article about him as he hasn't
verifiably been convicted of anything. Delete.

2nd runner up of a non-notable beauty pageant. There are no secondary sources, all cited sources are from the web site of the organizer.
This source is in NEpali though, but when I use Google translate, I don't find that the 2nd runner up is even mentioned. Google returns almost no hits

DELETE - As with Anjana Sunuwar (any relation?) runner-ups are never notable solely for being runner-ups, and this person was runner-up in a brand new pageant of extremely dubious notability. Even if the contest was notable, which it's not (yet), only the winner would really rate a name-check on its page.

Comment What is the policy-based reason for deletion, as opposed to merge or redirect? The journal may or may not be notable (I haven't looked into this), but the index listings show basic facts about the journal to be verifiable--the listed indices may not be selective, but most are independent. At the very least, redirecting to
UCL Institute of Archaeology#Publications would seem a no-brainer. I'm not trying to be confrontational here, I just don't understand why the alternatives to PROD and deletion were not tried first. Thanks, --
Mark viking (

I'm fine with a redirect after deletion. There are many non-notable journals with verifiable basic facts, but not everything that is verifiable needs an article. Given that the article creator removed the PROD (which would have given time to find sources or explore alternatives), I reckoned that making a redirect would be reverted pretty fast. Hence the AfD... However, if there is to be a redirect, I think it should go to the publisher,
Ubiquity Press, as articles in the journal are not exclusively from members of the UCL Institute of Archaeology. --
Randykitty (

Keep -- My reason for voting thus is mainly the reputation of the UCL Institute of Archaeology. On-line journals are not as prestigious as print ones, but this is emanating from a top-level source in its subject. If not kept it should be merged or redirected to [[

Comment In many fields, nobody cares much any more whether a journal has a print version or not (see the success of the PLOS journals, for example). Basing your !vote on "the reputation of the UCL Institute of Archaeology" conflicts with
WP:NOTINHERITED. The journal is already listed in the article on the institute and I don't see much (except perhaps the year of establishment) that could be merged there. The list of indexing services that is present in the current article should most certainly not be merged: these non-selective (and hence, in this context, trivial) databases are not even listed in articles on journals that really are notable all by themselves, so there's even less reason to list them for non-notable ones. --

Merge to to
UCL Institute of Archaeology#Publications. Looking at the publication, it seems to be a kind of in-house newsletter/journal for the institute. The articles do seem to be peer reviewed, but by comparison
Public Archaeology is indexed by Scopus. Given our standards for academic journals, I think
Public Archaeology should have its own article while this one belongs with the institute. I think it deserves a good paragraph or two, as a publication to find out what's going on at the institute – projects, research, personnel, etc. –

Keep/merge Once again we see people rushing to delete something which they do not seem to understand. Accusations that Cardarelli is "dubious" are ill-founded in such circumstances.

What is the function of your first sentence? I proposed this, saying "...does not warrant an article". Can you explain what this suggests I "do not understand"? And you do? Anyway, it would be more sensible to include a list of obsolete, propsed, abandoned (etc) prefixes in the metrix prefix article, even if "micri-" was only ever suggested for ergs. Notice incidentally that the source you cite, though not quite as simplistic as Cardarelli's offering, is still from something called a "Dictionary". WP does not aspire to be a dictionary, so it should not model its articles on dictionary entries.

Wikipedical (
talk) 23:01, 28 January 2015 (UTC)reply
The
common outcomes for broadcast media summary, which was cited in the first AFD as grounds for a speedy keep, is actually wrong about the consensus for satellite radio stations —
WP:NMEDIA explicitly states that satellite radio channels are not entitled to an automatic presumption of independent notability unless they are themselves the subject of media coverage in
reliable sources. Some satellite radio channels certainly do get over the bar as independent topics, but satellite radio channels are not all accepted as automatically qualifying for independent articles just because they exist — if
primary source proof of their existence is all you can provide for sourcing, then they don't qualify for separate articles. That said, since they are plausible search terms, satellite radio channels which are deemed not to have sufficient RS coverage to qualify as independently notable should remain in place as redirects to
List of Sirius XM Radio channels rather than simply being deleted. That indeed seems to be the case here — the only sources being cited are SiriusXM's own self-published directories of its own channel lineups — so redirect to
List of Sirius XM Radio channels. (No prejudice against recreation in the future if actual RS coverage can actually be located.)

Unless somebody can prove that RS exists for this that can state something beyond it exists and is popular in its territory, it should be deleted.

so have you looked for references outside Google? DGG (
talk ) 00:30, 29 January 2015 (UTC)reply
Here is the reasoning behind why I primarily used Google:
The company is a talent recruiter. A large portion of their business is to seek out, and be sought out by potential clients; both talent, and those seeking talent. Since this company must find clients who are neither limited in number, centrally located, nor easy to find, this company must maintain an active presence in the eye of the general public.
If this company is doing so, there should be enough references online (that can be easily found via Google), to establish it's notability. Since this company works with the general public; if it is notable, references would be fairly easy to find in the place where the general public tends to look (Google).
It's direct, but it's just my reasoning, edited for readability.

These articles are all for plugins for the Apache HTTP server. I think don't think they're notable according to
wp:nsoft: They're just modules which provide a particular feature to Apache. Some of these pages are quite short... just a declaration of what the module is and what it does... and I would imagine there probably isn't any more to say about them without the descending into writing technical documentation.
Since we already have a list article that enumerates apache modules, I propose that we delete these articles and merge content as necessary into

Merge to
Metric prefix#Double prefixes. This was an abbreviation for decimilli which used by the French until a decree of 1961. See The Metric System, which explains this on page 34. Cardarelli is a French scientist and so may reasonably considered an authority on the matter. The derogatory references to this respectable author above seem quite outrageous and contrary to
WP:BLP, "the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to ... other pages, including talk pages"
Andrew D. (
talk) 20:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)reply
Thank you for your concern. However, I would like to set your mind at rest: there is a convention in educated circles of referring to books by the name of the author. In this case, therefore, saying for example "Cardarelli is full of nonsense" is a criticism of a book, and a valid criticism at that, and not in any way derogatory towards the person. In fact it is entirely possible that if you could chat to the author you would find that he is actually quite angry, because the publisher got in some cheap labour to do the proof-reading (etc), and made a mess of what he intended to be a carefully edited work. In such a case criticism of the book would go hand in hand with sympathy for the author. (I prefer to guess that the "hat-trick" junk in particular was added outside M. Cardarelli's control.)
Imaginatorium (

Delete, do not merge. Regardless of the reliability of Cardarelli, something that can be sourced only to a single line of a single table in a single book is not notable.

Johnuniq (

The issue here is not justifying an article; it's justifying a deletion. The motion being discussed is that the special delete function be used to remove this page and its history from view. I'm not seeing any reason to do this when there's the better
alternative of amending the page to redirect to a relevant section in a more general article. Our editing policy,
WP:PRESERVE, is to save what is useful rather than wantonly using the delete function to destroy everything.

Comment: Here
[14] is Cardarelli himself commenting on a QA board on the obsoleting of the myriagramme etc, being not adopted by the CGPM (is that 1963). So they should go in a list "Obsolete" in the metric prefixes. There really isn't any point I think in a redirect, but if you add all the bytes and hours UKW is going to expend on this, a redirect saves humanity a lot.

The only event Salerian is known for is being indicted for prescribing pain pills to drug dealers. First this appears to potentially be related to psychological or mental problems, making the article rather insensitive. Second, It appears to be a very minor news item, attracting few readers here
[15] and being of little importance to an encyclopedia. Third, there's WP:ONEEVENT; there is no way to create a full biographical profile here using BLP-compliant sources.
This article serves a tremendous opportunity to harm and embarrass a living person and no meaningful benefit to Wikipedia. I will ask the article-subject to confirm BLPREQUESTDELETE as well.

Op-eds cannot be used as sources under any circumstance, with the very rare exception that the op-ed received secondary coverage and is being used as a primary source to supplement secondary ones. The article-subject's own publication of material is also not relevant, since we need credible, independent sources authored by professional journalists and academics as oppose to the article-subject.
The Washingtonian is at least partially based on crowd-sourced stories submitted to the publication. You can see their submission guidelines
here. This story appears to be one such case where the article was submitted, since the author has written less than a dozen articles for the publication. Furthermore, their submission guidelines say that they are interested in almost any topic and that you don't have to be a professional journalist to submit. This is a common problem with many publications that embrace citizen journalism. I had this problem recently where a local publication was publishing attack pieces on a politician, without disclosing that they were crowd-sourced articles. Generally speaking any guest-written content in a news publication cannot be used.

That's ridiculous. I strongly disagree with you. Ariel Sabar is a professional journalist and writer.
"Op-eds cannot be used as sources under any circumstance" What does that have to do with this?

Weak keep. This article is a spare stub, to say the least, but there is a topic here with loads and loads of reliable sourcing. I suspect that Vrac is correct regarding
WP:MOSTITLE and the eventual article should be at
theonymics. Whether what we have here is worth keeping is... a harder decision, although I tend to side with retention when there is plausible expansion. Not that we'd lose much here if otherwise.

Weak delete My sense echoes the comment above, except I lean a bit towards the delete, since my searches did not suggest there was much to the term, other than the definition the name of a god. The term is not used much in contemporary discourse. If I do an unfiltered search for just the term theonym I get entries like the Free Dictionary, and others, which simply reiterate the name of a god and that's that, suggesting the term is not encyclopedic, and it is hard to tell how many of these "sources" are copying Wikipedia. I don't have a sense that the term is used much except possibly in linguistic analysis of ancient languages and cultures, and even then, not used much. If we create theonymics, what would that be about? There is a possible source
here and a
brief mention here, and a
mention in an obscure book here. Overall I am not enthusiastic about this topic given the paucity of sources, lack of interest, and if we did keep it all we could write about it would be a
dictionary definition.--

Keep another lazy and unhelpful AfD rationale, I'm afraid. I suppose the comment refers to the (non-removed) mission statement in the infobox - hardly a sufficient reason for deletion. The RS coverage clearly exists: a simple Google news search reveals 286 hits for "Polycount art" and 320 for "Polycount forum". A lot are incidental mentions, but the mere fact that RS have referred their readers to something on the site hundreds of time is far from meaningless - non-notable websites are not routinely referenced in RS. The in depth coverage of the site and/or its contests found in some of those RS (such as thus links provided by Sam Walton) prove notability beyond a doubt. --

Keep: Shacknews, Kotaku, and PCGamer are all good, but the other sources are either first-party or unreliable. In addition, I found
another PCGamer source (only this one simply talks about the Polycount Pack, never mentioning the group specifically),
this from Gamasutra (some good information on the success of their mods for TF2), and
this from Russian IGN (I doubt it's got anything in there, the DuckDuckGo description used "MessageBoard" in it, but if anyone knows Russian, it'd be great to know for sure). With the three aforementioned good sources in the article, we have a solid history of the project, an editorial about fan-made
League of Legends art that says that Polycount was part of hosting the contest, and an article about how much was paid to the creators of the Polycount Pack. Definitely enough to work with, even though there's a lot of stuff cited to unreliable sites. Supernerd11Firemind^_^Pokedex 03:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)reply

Promotional article for Bio Vision. The phrases "Senescent toxin" or "Senescent toxins" are not apparently used in the literature, a/c Google scholar, so it's simply their proprietary name DGG (
talk ) 01:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)reply
I don't think the nomination statement is accurate. There is no evidence that Bio Vision (which ironically may actually be notable) has ever used this term - it doesn't appear on their website for example. And the two sentences about the company have now been removed so it definitely isn't an ad for them anymore, and I doubt the company actually had anything to do with the article to begin with. That said, the term "senescent toxin" seems to be an invention of the article author - it is not known anywhere outside Wikipedia and mirrors. As such, this is
original research and should be deleted on those grounds unless someone thinks the text could be used productively at
Senescence or a related article. Pinging @
