Put aside your reaction to the title for the moment, because it's not exactly what it says on the tin. What this really is, rather, is a metacommentary about the fact that Wikipedia doesn't have an article about the topic described in the title, sourced only to a Facebook post which wrongly suggests that we do. This is, put simply, not the kind of thing we should have an "article" about — and it shouldn't be repurposed as what its title actually suggests, because that's not the kind of thing we should have an article about either. Taking this to AFD only because there's already a declined speedy in the edit history — I'd have speedied it straight away otherwise. Delete with TNT.

Nominally an article about a film, what this does as written is to start with a single statement asserting that the film exists, followed by a "cinematographer's perspective" shot list of every individual scene in the film, often carrying
original research interpretations of the scene's meaning — and then climaxing with a summary of the overall "main points of the movie". This is much more of a
POV essay than an encyclopedia article. Delete unless it can be comprehensively rewritten as a neutral and
properly sourced article about the film (I'd have speedied it if I could squeeze it into any of the known speedy criteria, it's that bad.)
Bearcat (

Delete. A sound, rewritten article wouldn't be bad, but it appears that Anesa hanafy is one of the 80-odd filmes by Egyptian comedian
Ismail Yassine, shot in 1954, when Egyptian film production was high quantity (Yassine seems to have shot 14 films that year). Unless this was a specifically important hit of his career and is credited as such in secondary sources, no use to keep it.

Keep Despite the original article's format and sourcing issues, this film topic easily meets
WP:NF and many attributes of

Mada Masr calls it one of Egypt's cinematic gems that had no equal until 1987. I personally took
the painful mess brought to AFD, trimmed away stuff per
MOS:FILM and did
some expansion and sourcing. Sheesh... there were plenty of
book sources treating the film both substantively and significantly, and being
originally poorly written by a
noob was a reason to correct, not delete this topic. It could use more work, sure... but deletion? No. It's a keeper.
Bearcat? Schmidt, Michael Q. 12:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)reply
I said right up front that it could be kept if it were repaired. Which you've done, so thanks — this will now be withdrawn. But your comment seems to be based on the mistaken premise that if this got deleted in its original form, then no new replacement article about it could ever be created — and thus we'd have to keep it in its original form, no matter how shitty that was, just because it might get someday replaced with a better article. But that's not how things work on here: we have a principle called
WP:NUKEANDPAVE, by which an article as irredeemable as the original version of this was can get thrown in the trash can without prejudice against the future recreation of a good article about the same topic. Yes, you did good by salvaging this as a keepable article — but my flagging the original form of this article as not up to a keepable standard was not an error on my part.

Delete I'm sorry, Ritman, I know your father is an important person to you, and you have written this article with love and respect. But Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia and it has criteria for what should be included here. The main criterion is
the general notability guideline which states that the subject has been WRITTEN ABOUT by
independent reliable sources. There are no such sources in this article. There is one external link, but it is not to a reliable source - just somebody's blog - and it does not even mention your father that I could find. He has won a poetry prize, but not a notable prize as defined by Wikipedia. There are pictures of certificates and things but they do not prove his notability. If you can find some independent reliable sources (things like newspaper articles, scholarly reviews of his poetry, etc. - and they don't have to be in English) then we can consider including him. But right now this article almost qualifies for speedy deletion as an unreferenced biography of a living person. Regarding the nominator's comment above, I could find no mention of him being an Indian civil servant - just a poet. --

And with due respect to the Nominators up here,I would like to say I didn't create the article on his name just because I share a close relationship but genuinely his contribution to literary world by this time has already reached quite a remembering place for Bengali poetry and people will come to know about him when they try to do so.

Hi
Ritiman Thakur -Please rewrite the article from scratch, and write only what has been published in these newspapers, magazines and books summarizing key contents in
your own words from a
neutral point of view. When you derive some contents from one or more sources, cite the same as inline citations to help understand readers where did the contents came from and subsequently
verify them. You may use {{cite news}} and {{cite books}} template to convert those sources into inline citations (leave |url= parameter empty if they are offline). You may also take a look at
Wikipedia's guide for referencing (in particular video tutorial).

Delete None of the work of the subject is notable nor does the subject itself. I will be surprised if any one could find multiple reliable third party sources.

Comment Hi,
Devunion, and welcome. Yes, it really is hard to get a separate article published with no secondary sources whatsoever. For the reasons, see
Why we have these requirements. Basically we want to be sure that what we write is reliable and verifiable, and the best way to do that is to base it on reliable secondary sources. This is especially so for separate articles. But that's not the only way to add information to the encyclopedia. If you can improve an existing article, you can often add the information there. –

With civilian Americans (possibly), information about local integration (or non-integration) and the changing relations between Americans and Germans after WWII until today as additional aspects the article has very good chances of further development. I agree with the nominator in general, that articles are not needed for every tiny minority - but this is not one of those cases.

Redirect – to

Hymn to Liberty, with
this cite. He's mentioned once in the Greek Wikipedia, in the national anthem article, and most Greek cites on the web seem to be based on that passage. However, the information in this article must have come from somewhere. Perhaps an offline source in Greek. If we leave it as a redirect, it could be revived if someone discovers that source. –

Studies in Eastern Chant. Oxford University Press, p. 205) describes him as a "master" of military music. The doctoral thesis on him does exist (I've added a ref for that).

This garnered three
Canadian Screen Award nominations at the

WP:NMEDIA right on its face — and while I acknowledge that further sourcing improvement is still desirable, as written this already includes referencing to The Globe and Mail, which is the kind of gold-standard The New York Times-level source that could singlehandedly carry notability all by itself even if there weren't any other sources already present.

Deunanknute (

"Their series for the Globe and Mail" is referring to the series of news articles about them, not the web series itself — The Globe and Mail is a newspaper, not a distributor of web series. And web series are also subject to
WP:NMEDIA, where a nomination for a top-level award is sufficient — for both the
Academy Awards and the
Emmy Awards, for just two examples out of many, it is standard practice that if a topic (person, series, film, whatever) garners a nomination for the award but didn't already have a Wikipedia article, then the nomination is in and of itself enough
notability that a single source which confirms the fact of the nomination is in and of itself enough to start an article with. It takes more than that to get the article to GA or FA status, certainly, but the mere nomination itself is enough notability to start with — and numerous past AFD discussions have upheld that the nomination itself is sufficient notability. The
Canadian Screen Awards are not, and will not be treated as, a lower class of award for that purpose — similar past AFDs on non-winning CSA/Genie/Gemini nominees have also upheld that the nomination itself is sufficient notability. There can be no topic whose name appears on
3rd Canadian Screen Awards (or any of its predecessors, inclusive of the former
Gemini Awards and
Genie Awards) but is consigned to permanent redlink or nolink status — if a topic is listed in that award's main article, then it's automatically a legitimate article topic, because we're simply not doing our job as an encyclopedia if a reader is stuck asking "okay, this got nominated for a major film/TV award but what the hell is it?" but we're not allowed to provide that information.

Prolific songwriter, journalist, and TV screenwriter Bonta turns to the novel and creates an auspicious, genre-bending parable that splices together quantum physics, crazy coincidences, the sf convention scene, and true love. Intrepid interdimensional space traveler Aira Flight is the heroine of writer Mendle Orion's award-winning novels and also the object of his most cherished fantasies. When a naked, amnesiac woman appears in his hotel room during an sf convention, Mendle rejoices that his faith in the power of love and cosmic coincidence has magically brought Aira to life. His ex-girlfriend, however, questions his already dubious sanity and investigates the girl's true identity. Yet as Aira's memory returns, so does her power, as the unlimited-energy being Mendle envisioned, to teach all those around her to create their own realities. Bonta's storytelling skills transform an outlandish New Age premise into a refreshing send-up of sf stereotypes that, remarkably, also works as an inspiring romantic adventure. Carl Hays --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
"Bonta's reading is clear and provides a satisfying atmosphere for this tale. Recommended for larger collections." -- Library Journal, March 2008
"This novel within a novel will captivate readers with a story of space travel between dimensions. Readers will feel part of the story, and will hate to see it end. You don't have to be a fan of science fiction to read this book, it's a cross-genre novel that everyone will enjoy." Ruth Augustine --
Blogcritics, May 2008
"Vanna Bonta's voice is entrancing - quickly making an engrossing connection between the listeners and the characters; her versatility as a voice actor brings a very realistic feel to the book. The combination of the characters, storyline, and Bonta's voice make the audio book an intense and memorable experience. Bonta's voice keeps each character completely unique, a challenge in many audio books. Flight is an amazingly positive, life-affirming book, filled with beauty." -- BostonNOW, January 2008
Science fiction fans need to take a FLIGHT into a very interesting novel where quantum physics meets human relationships at the crossroads of dreams and reality. The story line is fun as it humorously jabs save the world and self help books and tapes. Mendle is an interesting dreamer while Sandra is an intriguing schemer. However, it is the ephemeral Aira who steals the show, leaving readers to understand the premise that I think, therefore I create. Vanna Bonta's novel is the best look at the quantum physics universe since the Professor Q books of Trevor Hoyle. Great work that will be devoured by fans who enjoy unique science fiction. --

Weak delete, doesn't seem to exceed
WP:POLITICIAN's general notability guidelines as there doesn't appear to be significant media/independent third party coverage. Carrite, Australian local municipalities are generally much weaker with less responsibility than American ones; they control little more than basic service provisions (rubbish, libraries, parks, local roads, etc) with major services (hospitals, policing, transport, education, major planning and planning overlay approval, etc) provided or controlled by state and federal governments. Queensland is an exception to this rule with Brisbane City Council covering much of the population, Melbourne on the other hand has over 30 councils of which Whittlesea is one. Also bear in mind that very few Australian mayors are popularly elected, with Whittlesea being no exception, so he wasn't elected as mayor, he was elected as a councillor and appointed mayor (it is now reasonably common to have a rotating mayor in Victoria).

WP:POLITICIAN. He's a local suburban councillor who's taken on an annually rotating mayoral role three times because he's been in office as a councillor a long time. The article's non-primary sources are basically nonexistent, and this is almost inevitable for people in positions of this nature (unless someone does some seriously thorough research in local rags, and the onus is on them to do it). I don't believe council mayors selected by the council on a rotating basis are notable unless it happens to be a particularly large individual city (Ballarat is probably one of the largest that still does now that Geelong has gone to direct election), and one with a daily newspaper to provide sufficient coverage.

Keep per Lady Lotus. Even though the article needs expansion, it definitely meets

Delete for failing GNG. All there is really is an announcement that he was stepping down as CEO of
Jackson National Life. The same announcement in three different publications doesn't somehow add to the notability. There's not enough to construct an article. Also, I strongly suspect from prior experience that Forbes bios are submitted by people related to the subject, and are therefore useless as sources.

Keep. Note the article appears to be targeted for its using {{Infobox}}. The deletion nomination shows no evidence of performing
wp:BEFORE; the nom spends more time/text complaining about removal of the prod, which was by me. It's not "bogus" to point out the apparent purpose of removing infoboxes the nom does not like. The nom was indeed working from
this worklist of articles having "direct calls" to infobox template. I note related AFDs above.
Clark Manning is apparently also known as Clark Preston Manning, or Clark P. Manning, Jr., so try also:
He is
this person, with birth and wife info], consistent with age in that profile.
There is
[17] (yep i typed that correctly, also available by Googling "Record of Society of Actuaries Clark Manning" ), a 20 page publication he wrote based on a panel discussion that he moderated, on valuation law changing. Probably more activity among actuaries.
Though I don't feel hugely strongly about it, I think keeping and developing is best. Focusing a lot of editor attention on an article because it uses a certain infobox seems crazy. --

This
2002 profile of Clark P. Manning, Jr., at his appointment to CEO of Jackson and to board of Prudential provides details of his education, involvement in actuarial science, and more. It's a PR newswire item, so I don't mean it establishes notability independently, but it is reliable for facts to include in the article. The "Clark P. Manning, Jr." name is what appears in SEC filings and legal documents, in the searches.
Also, listed as Clark Preston Manning, he was Sr. Vice President at
Sunamerica, Inc., life insurance company based in NYC, according to Dun & Bradstreet's Million Dollar Profile
Google book snippet here.
I think the sources provided by editor Lady Lotus and these are adding up to substantial coverage, although I acknowledge others can disagree. It's definitely not "one event" coverage, though, and i think it adds up. I'll add some to the article next. --

Unless someone manages to provide reliable independent sources that aren't about his departure from Jackson National/Prudential, it definitely is ONEEVENT coverage. His name appearing in some list and an announcement by the company that's hired him do not contribute towards notability.

There is under-coverage in Wikipedia of
actuaries (see
Category:Actuaries) and other corporate executives, maybe especially in financial industries. The importance of Clark Manning, like for CEOs and other corporate executives, is related to the importance and size of the companies they run. It's not "irrelevant" (as one edit summary at the article asserted) to describe size of those companies in their articles. It's not a terrible thing to develop financial company topics and executive role topics more. I am surprised there is no article about PPM America and that there is no article about Chief Actuary, which is a major title like
CEO and
COO, though obviously more salient in insurance and pension industries than elsewhere. Again, i voted Keep above, think that the article is in better/good shape, and there is more development possible, and sources have emerged and are still emerging. --

WP:NFOOTY or any other guideline, the burden is on the editors to show that the articles should be deleted. All that is being shown is how the article just passes
WP:NFOOTY and that other articles that have been deleted. Note that while about a dozen or so deleted articles are shown I am sure at least an equal number of passing articles can be shown that just pass and are kept. I think just listing other articles and citing that the article just passes

This is the second AfD I've come across recently for an article about a marginally notable person who has requested deletion, and the second time there's been a bunch of "keep per WP:NWHATEVER" comments.

If the standard in the guideline is raised to say 10 games, then some editors will argue that those that play 10 games barely meet the standard and should have their articles deleted. It seems like in your opinion many of the
WP:NSPORTS articles have too low of a standard. My suggestion would be to work to change the guidelines. If the community agrees with you, then the guideline can be changed and re-evaluation can occur. However, the community has set this standard and we have to go with it. This does not mean automatically keep, but it does mean presume notable unless shown otherwise. Just because you don't like the guideline/think the standard is too low does not mean we should undermine what the entire community has deemed appropriate for presuming notability. In short, work to change the guideline if you think it needs changed as opposed to trying to cause deletion of articles that meet the guideline and undermine the work of the whole community in creating that standard.

NFOOTY lets us down here because that guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sportsperson is likely to meet the

general notability guideline for a stand-alone article and it's not going to be the case. Since Mr Hadrava does not reach the level of our

What you said boils down to nothing but opinion. And that opinion conflicts with the guideline. You say no sources exist, but provide no evidence that this is the case. You said the the guideline is to help evaluate, but more specifically it creates a presumption. Simply saying that sources don't exist does overcome the presumption that sources do exist. Have you gone to libraries in
Colchester and
Reading to go through the actual physical newspapers of that era to evaluate the sources? He played over 13 years ago and many potential sources from the Internet likely have been taken down. The whole point of the guideline is that sources such as these in the library do exist without forcing editors to hunt them down. If you want to overcome the presumption, then you can select to do so, but the burden is on you. Overcoming that presumption, especially when talking about a player that last played over a decade ago, requires more than a Google search.

Seriously?!? This player played just over half an hour once in a
WP:FPL. The remaining derivative of his career was in very low level leagues. He has asked for his page to be deleted and to be honest, any sources in the local libraries are going to be local by definition and would not satisfy GNG. Furthermore clear consensus has been shown above that players with similar careers are generally considered non notable. Finally what is the logic in presuming sources exist when none have been found? That makes no sense and if employed here could be employed in any argument where the suggestion was the player was not notable.

A company called Symbolic & Chase, which is apparently the owner of this alleged pearl, created this article in 2013 for promoting it as an auction item. Look at original authorship and see numerous issues of notability, original research, writing style, citations. Note the laborious attempt to prove that this "pearl of Kuwait" was worn by an infamous English queen and is available to be viewed in London. The article attempts to prove the provenance of a pearl, without proper attestation to authorities and makes a travesty of Wikipedia by supporting this tenuous marketing theory. The very article title stands in contradiction to the name given, and also contradicts the
La Peregrina pearl article. A PROD failed but has triggered no serious editing of the article to bring up to even stub-article standards. Article creator is blocked. More details on Talk page.

Keep/merge Mary Tudor certainly had a big pearl - this is well documented. The issue is whether this was the pearl known as La Peregrina or this new rival claimant. The
V&A exhibited the latter recently and this attracted some press coverage, e.g. The Economist, and so the matter is notable. Insofar as the issue is disputed or sources vary, we should not choose between them but should perhaps present what they say together.

Nominator Comment - I am somewhat taken aback that none of the comments so far have covered the blatant commercialized language in the article, as written. As I tried to make abundantly clear, the entire article, except its title, is written to promote the pearl that recently toured London. (Sure there are news articles about it, but See
WP:WHYN and
WP:SPIP.) But the problem is that there are two separate pearls. Are we needing three articles? One for
pearl of Kuwait, one for
La Peregrina pearl, and one for
Mary Tudor pearl? That would be "fair" by splitting off all of the claims and provenance stuff into the specific pearl articles, while the historical object gets its own page I guess? Modifying it is possible, but my opinion is severe curtailment until the sources roll in. The [[Mary Tudor pearl] article is full of speculation as it is... no independent news article says all of these things, just your beloved encyclopedia. If some think the new pearl needs some space here in an article on Wikipedia, fine, but it needs a new title, sources to back up its claims, and cross-references to the controversial subject. Right now the encyclopedia looks to be making all the guesses for the pearl, while the news articles report the lack of provenance.

WP:UGLY is not a reason to delete. I'm not denying that the article skates close to

De Guerre (

Ok, ugly. That has hardly been asserted. But what makes it notable? The article was created by the owner of the pearl and should have been deleted on sight without any major press coverage. The only press the pearl got was probably due to a £300 press release sent to London area news agencies. It appears to be not notable except in London. Did this get any international interest? I see it as a minor one-event wonder and the only real information on the web is literally the page that I think needs to be deleted. There is 10 times more alleged information in this article than any press report. Auction houses aren't encyclopedic sources but one is used prominently, in quotes, to describe the pearl for us and guess about its provenance.
I have asserted that there are poor and missing sources, creation by a person closely tied to the item, misleading conflation of provenance, promotional brochure, contradiction, no references to the counter-claims of a similar pearl, no wide notoriety or international notability, and most significantly... original research that includes wild speculation which culminates in this, the focal point of the article that demonstrates most of my assertions:
These portraits have been mis-catalogued in the past as depicting the famous La Peregrina pearl (which weighs 204 grains), which has been repeatedly mistaken for the pearl that Mary Tudor was given by Philip II as an engagement gift in 1554.
And you mentioned that it is

Wait While it is true that the occasional crash of a military jet or helicopter killing a couple of crew members during routine operations or training is part of the normal risks of military life (like most automobile accidents or general aviation accidents are in civilian life) and therefore are not noteworthy and do not merit an article, any major military aircraft crash is not routine and is not a normal part of military life. In fact, it is a bit bizarre in my view to assert that any aircraft crash killing 30 or 35 people is somehow not significant regardless of who the plane belonged to. Wikipedia includes numerous articles on major military aircraft crashes worldwide over many years, as anyone can see by sampling the year-by-year aviation accident and incident templates, and with good reason. I note, however, that such crashes in industrialized countries seem to have greater acceptance as meriting Wikipedia articles than those in less developed countries like (in this case) Syria (although Wikipedia has accepted a number of Iranian military crashes that resulted in major loss of life), so it seems that an unspoken double standard may be in play when it comes to first-world and third-world crashes. If 30 to 35 deaths in a single military crash is not significant, how many people would have to die in a military crash to make it significant – 50, 75, 100, 200? It is not clear what criteria should be used for identifying a military crash as major enough to merit an article; while it seems that a jet or helicopter crashing and killing its pilot would be too insignificant to merit an article, it would also seem to be a no-brainer that a death toll of 30 to 35 (in this case) would be significant.

Consider how we handle AfDs, it's not based on editor sentiment as to whether it is significant enough, but rather on substantial RS coverage. It's the level of RS coverage that we look to not our personal views, or our personal guesses as to "why" it has attracted the coverage.

Delete - the "over 1000 hits" is rather misleading; I clicked the link Sander.v.Ginkel provided, and of the first 100 stories, not one was about the Syrian An-26. I did my own search, for "syrian air force antonov an-26", and got 43 hits, again none about this crash. A couple of news wire stories repeated all over the world with a bit of rewording is not the same as "substantial RS coverage" either. The BBC article used as a source in the article has a total of three sentences about the crash, so again not subtantial. There also exist on my Watchlist many redlinks for deleted articles about fatal military aircraft crashes, so the presence on WP of other articles concerning military aircraft crashes is of no relevance.

This is unlike Armenian Mil Mi-24 shootdown mentioned above, which is rather outstanding incident in the current Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire violations, while the 2014 Algeria Lockheed C-130 Hercules crash and 2014 Lao People's Liberation Army Air Force An-74 crash occurred during peace time.

Keep Despite what Libertarian12111971 stated above, this crash has made the world news outlets, and has been covered by reliable sources. One only needs to look at the references in the article to see that that is the case. Regardless, though it's not a policy the comparative lack of coverage of incidents that occur in non-western countries really shouldn't influence whether articles on such matters are kept (
WP:Global perspective). Nevertheless, the article is well sourced to reliable news sources, and the question as to whether the aircraft was in fact shot down and the number killed in this incident makes it more notable than most incidents involving shootdowns of military aircrafts during conflicts, most of which have involved fighter jets and result in few casualties.--

In this day and age just about any crash of any transport vehicle will generate media coverage. It isn't facts that decide notability, nor is it that people have died - death has never been a criterion for notability on Wikipedia - it is the amount of coverage of said facts. The recent ATR 72 crash is notable; there has been a lot of outside coverage and said coverage continues. This crash is not notable - there wasn't much coverage when it happened and such as there was only lasted a day or two.
YSSYguy (
talk) 22:34, 7 February 2015 (UTC)reply
Certainly facts help determine notability. The fact that this is a hull loss incident and may be a shoot down by enemy combatants increases its notability. Human fatalities as a criterion for notability is listed 4 times here:
Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents. This incident is covered by several independent and verifiable sources. It doesn't matter how long the coverage lasted:
Notability is not temporary. Even if there were not "enough" coverage no can deny it happened.
Samf4u (

You're mixing elements of that essay up. And it's an essay, not a policy, or even a guideline. It enjoys support among the members of that Wikiproject but it remain a personal essay for our purposes here. Even so, the essay suggests that "Accidents involving light aircraft and military aircraft are mostly non-notable" and the "hull loss" provisions relate to civilian airliners. You're misreading
WP:NOTTEMP too - this still fails
WP:NOTNEWS and
WP:EVENT and so wasn't notable to begin with; whether notability is temporary or not is moot. St★lwart111 00:17, 8 February 2015 (UTC)reply

Yes. As pointed out, the 000's of hits claim is misleading. We've established there is coverage; what we need to establish is whether that coverage verifies "enduring notability" rather than just short-term "this happened yesterday" stuff. "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." (
WP:NOTNEWS). St★lwart111 21:24, 9 February 2015 (UTC)reply
But if you continue the sentence they name examples with things that are in the news every day like: routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities. This crash is not something like this.

Comment- I thought
WP:POL was a little unclear on what type, or amount of, coverage counts as notability. Anyone running for a town of a few hundred in the rural US is bound to get "significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent and reliable sources". It's routine coverage, a lot like a couple of paragraphs about the local kids baseball team. They don't get an article. If this candidate gets an abnormally large amount of coverage, then, yes, he should have an article.
Here is an essay I found that explains how I came to this conclusion. Please note: as far as I know this essay is not an "Official" Wikipedia guideline.
