WP:INDAFD: [5]

Keep per meeting WP:NF. For 50-year-old pre-internet Hindi films I urge the nominator to be a bit more creative in his searches. It is often learned that even weak new stubs are not unsourcable, and that these films have become part of the enduring historic record for early Hindi cinema. [6] Like for instance, when a senior actor's or filmmaker's career is discussed, and media will include information about earlier significant works. [7] [8] [9] [10] No, these old films will not have the coverage of some modern Western blockbuster... but they are suitable stubs. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 19:05, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep. President of the NUS is a significant position in Britain. No good reason given for deletion. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 09:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Weak keep. Less obviously notable than most other NUS presidents since about 1970, but on balance still notable enough for an article. Leaving aside his period as NUS president (for which there are almost certainly news sources from the time - but news sources from that time tend to be either offline or behind paywalls), there are certainly sources relating to his period working for Neil Kinnock between about 1988 and 1992 (just using previewable GBooks hits, this, this and this, for instance, each discuss Stewart in a little detail, and this and this, while more in the nature of passing mentions, still supply verifiable extra information). Since 1992, he has been running his own company, Neil Stewart Associates - it is easy enough to establish this from reliable sources, but beyond that, we may run into the standard problem of having plenty of sources, almost all of which however turn out to be company press releases. PWilkinson ( talk) 19:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Nomad25: GNG comes into play because you didn't even look at the sources. Most of the sources are publications of the author, which does not establish notability per WP:NACADEMIC. The only news sources are not coverage of the subject, they merely embed his tweets, which makes the only coverage minor and self-published. Therefore, it fails WP:GNG. ― Padenton| ✉ 13:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep - Can we keep this for sometime with a tag less harsh and consider deletion if notability cannot be established within a given time? I think this give room for improvement if there are any. -- Taureanbull1985 ( talk) 13:44, 30 March 2015 (UTC) — Taureanbull1985 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

@ Taureanbull1985: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The subject either meets notability guidelines and deserves to stay, or does not meet notability guidelines and deserves deletion. We are not discussing the quality of the article here, we are discussing the existence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" of which there are none. ― Padenton| ✉ 13:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Taureanbull1985: I think the best option if you would like to retain the work done would be to request the material be userfied or moved to the draft namespace where it can be developed before moving back to the article space. Speaking as one of the delete !votes above, I would have no objection to userfication. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete. Per the nominator; there is no significant notice outside of advertorial or passing references. There is no discussion of how the business earns its money (nor can I find any information about this on their website or any other site), aside from raising capital investment. On looking at the article history, it is clear that much of the content has been added by single-purpose accounts, including what looks like a company-operated account. The website says it has made over a million calls, but doesn't discuss its success rate in linking people to service providers, so there is no measurement of the success of the company anywhere. It is not discussed in any of the sources, nor could I find any other sources that provided this information. In other words...there's nothing here but promotional material.

Keep - This is one of the earliest consulates opened by the United States and longest-open diplomatic missions the US operated (1794-1941, 1945?-1986, 2000-present).

Further Sources I do agree that it is important for Wikipedia to adhere to WP:CORP. The issue becomes how do we define "notable". This standard needs more objectivity. Certainly having only a handful of people weigh in on this debate is insufficient. I believe it is only fair and objective for anyone stating here that the company is not notable to do some research of their own to back up that position.

Delete, barely appears notable. VegasCasinoKid ( talk) 12:16, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply
Delete – The Long Island Business News article was a good, in-depth profile, but kind of dated and not really the kind of information we can use in the article. Then there are quotes in the media, but according to WP:NORG, quotes from an organization's personnel as story sources don't count toward notability. And frankly, considering the business model, I think this about all we are going to get. The company is successful, so my guess is that the market reports are pretty good. But they're confidential, so we can't see them. Since we are going to be more or less dependent on the company for press releases or whatever it chooses to reveal about itself, I think this is a case where it's just not a topic for an encyclopedia article. We're not a business directory, and having an article in Wikipedia is no big deal. Especially one this short, which is about all we can write. – Margin1522 ( talk) 13:16, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply
Capitulating, Ok. It is still unclear to me how we define notable. If you were to ask 10,000 people randomly which is more notable, ABI or Alexandrine Grammarians, I am guessing you would have a much higher incidence (but still not very high) for ABI^[1]. And I enjoyed the article on Alexandrine Grammarians honestly and I do not believe it should be deleted. I bring it up just to make a point. In the circles of technology analysis and market intelligence, ABI is quite well known. But I will let this go as it has no material impact on ABI and I am sure the volunteer editors here have better things to do. I appreciate all your work and will continue to enjoy Wikipedia and send in my annual donations, even though I disagree with you all here. But, in the interest of real objectivity, it would be great if you applied the same critical eye to other pages like this one. A few examples of many:

"Notable", as Wikipedia uses the term, is defined very clearly at WP:GNG and WP:CORP. It means the company has received significant coverage (published reporting) from independent reliable sources. "Significant", "independent", and "reliable" are also very clearly defined. It's true that "notable" may not be the best word to describe this requirement, because a company may think of itself as "notable" in other ways. Maybe we should call it "coverage", or "recognition". But the bottom line is, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we need to see significant coverage from third parties before we can include a subject here. -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:30, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Got it. Companies in our industry tend to contribute to reporting on other companies. Generally, our industry doesn't itself get covered much. Perhaps this is the nature of the intelligence business. Anyway, we have withdrawn our arguments against deletion. Our only request as written above is that some objective source (should not be us) review the pages of similar entries on Wikipedia.

Speedy Redirect or Speedy Userfy (with a NOINDEX magic word) until the election is over. A virtually uncited and overly complimentary article on a candidate who bears little to no other cited notability should not exist on Wikipedia mainspace. The article's creator may have been well meaning but they need mentorship. Also, the unexplained list of 15 unformatted and untitled External Links is extremely problematic -- some of them may be useful, but who has the time to click and read each one? All in all, this article is problematic as is, any way one looks at it, and as the nominator states, is a campaign biography. It needs to disappear from mainspace, fast. Softlavender ( talk) 12:41, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Note: The election is April 7 [14] (15th Ward), and is a run-off between Yañez and someone who does not have a wiki article, so this article needs to go away fast. @ Carrite: I know you meant well un-redirecting this article, but it shouldn't stand for a full week's AfD in my opinion, due to the promotional nature of it and due to the fact that the election is only nine days away right now. Softlavender ( talk) 14:14, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Softlavender: How about putting a NOINDEX up until the AfD is closed, would that solve the promotional problem satisfactorily without corrupting the deletion process? Carrite ( talk) 15:39, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Ironically, if he wins the election, he'll be an almost certain WP:POLITICIAN keep as an elected Chicago alderman. There is a case to be made for a TNT delete-and-rebuild in that case. This piece clearly needs a massive overhaul if kept; if sources can be mustered in the defense here, I'm willing to do that. I don't want to sink time on a deleted page though. Carrite ( talk) 15:46, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) As long as it's on mainspace it's still linkable from the election articles, surname article, etc. Since it's four months old it's already been indexed by Google [even though for some reason it's not coming up on Google at this precise instant; Google is like that sometimes with its new algorithms] and will stay that way for a month or so even if it were to get deleted. Could we draftify it (with a NOINDEX code) while the AfD is in progress? That way it disappears from mainspace, but we can link to it here and discuss it? Softlavender ( talk) 15:59, 28 March 2015 (UTC) ETA: I agree there is usable material here if he is elected; I just don't want this article on mainspace influencing that election.

( edit conflict) Speedy delete or redirect per G-11. With due respect to Carrite, whose motives I believe are reasonable, this AfD is an unnecessary waste of time. The subject clearly fails WP:POL. In it's current form the article is just a campaign add. Any coverage from press and media is purely of the run of the mill sort that all candidates for public office get.

The original solution was best: merge into Chicago aldermanic elections, 2015, and convert to a redirect – the current article is problematic, as it clearly seems to be "promotional". If this individual wins election on April 7, then a (hopefully more appropriate) article can be restored here. -- IJBall ( talk) 16:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

I have just re-read this article. Just looking at one paragraph it is largely unsourced and reads like a press release, like this unsupported and unattributed claim: He realized he wanted to help mentor youth facing many of the issues of modern urban life. According to whom, the candidate himself? This is what you read from a campaign handout, and if it were stripped of puffery it would be lucky to make stub quality.

I am tempted just to be bold, and redirect it now as suggested above, any objections?

Entrepreneur India Magazine

I can't find any sources discussing this publication and so I do not believe that it is notable. I don't think there's a notability guideline for magazines, but WP:NBOOKS can be used as a general comparison, and those criteria are not met. I am also concerned that the long "Awards" section is used as a way to promote those people (one prolific serial spammer of Wikipedia is mentioned in the section with a link to his website) when the awards themselves do not appear to be at all notable. There is no source for the claim that the magazine's awards are "[India's] most prestigious awards in the Entrepreneur area", and I very much doubt the veracity of that statement. bonadea contributions talk 11:35, 21 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete. I just have removed the ridiculously long list of awards and awardees. WP is not a web hosting service... I fully agree with Bonadea's analysis of the references. Those that are independent are just in-passing mentions. One of them reads like a news release and one other is a portrait of an awardee in some vanity journal. In addition, I can't even figure out what exactly the name of this publication is, their website is rather confusing about it. Given the lack of reliable sources, that's irrelevant, though. -- Randykitty ( talk) 17:06, 1 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete The understanding and approximate calculation of timings and delays is an important topic in circuit design, enough so that we already have several articles on it: Delay calculation, Static timing analysis, Statistical static timing analysis, Elmore delay, etc. It is conceivable that one could write an article on timing issues in VLSI design using books like Static Timing Analysis for Nanometer Designs: A Practical Approach and class lectures like [40]. But this article has only a barest, confusing, unannotated list of delay types. I don't think there is compelling reason to keep this less than a stub of an article just for its suggestive title.

Understood. Access to Taiwanese sources for this Chinese film not released in the US is difficult. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 12:37, 22 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment: I managed to turn up these Google Book sources ( The Animation Business Handbook and Historical Dictionary of Taiwan Cinema), which both make mention to a Taiwanese animated character named A-kuei. Note that this article is saying A-kuei was the film studio, not a character, and that the the Animation Business Handbook names the film studio behind the A-kuie character as Spring House Entertainment. So it's not a perfect match by any means. Still, the books also say that the A-kuei character was created for a website (Self Destruction was apparently a web film) and the ABH highlights 2001 as a notable year for the character (Self Destruction was apparently released in 2001). I don't know how common of name A-kuei is in Taiwanese, but these shared details seem too similar to write off as mere coincidence. According to the ABH, the A-kuei character inspired merchandising, appeared in advertising and even as a guest on TV shows, and was set to be the focus of a feature film. So this character actually seems fairly noteworthy; whether it has any connection to Self Destruction though, I can't say for sure. I'm inclined to think that this topic actually is notable, but sadly, between the incredible length of time that's elapsed and the language barrier, I doubt that any quality refs will turn up to display that notability. There very well may be some Chinese-language sources out there, and there might even be a few English-language sources archived in the Way Back Machine - but without knowing the original url, I'm not sure how we could locate those, even if they do in fact exist. -- Jpcase ( talk) 14:42, 25 March 2015 (UTC) reply

I've actually just discovered a few more refs about the A-kuei character and Spring House Entertainment ( Bloomberg Business, Taiwan Info, Variety) Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is notable and deserves its own article. But does it have any connection to Self Destruction? I still don't know. A-kuei doesn't seem to be a character in Self-Destruction and the refs clearly indicate that he is aimed at children - Self Destruction includes a "serial killer" as a character, so yeah, draw your own conclusion ;) - Still, A-kuei is a digital animated character created for a Taiwanese website; Self Destruction is a digitally animated film created for a Taiwanese website; not all of Spring House Entertainment's content includes the A-kuei character and some of it is aimed at adults. Could A-kuei Production House (the studio behind Self Destruction) be a subsidy of Spring House Entertainment? Or could Spring House have even changed its name somewhere down the line? Or maybe A-kuei Production House doesn't even exist and was just entered as an error. All possibilities. But none of them can be proven at this point. And even if Self Destruction really was produced by Spring House, there's nothing that makes it noteworthy enough for its own article. So my vote would either be Delete or Redirect to a newly created Spring House Entertainment article. Either way, I strongly support the creation of an article for Spring House Entertainment. -- Jpcase ( talk) 15:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Redirect - to the artist article. The exhibition is mentioned there, and I've added the name of the film, but I don't think we really need a merger so to speak. It would overwhelm the artist article. The original source that supported the article is still visible via Wayback - the name is correct. But standalone notability seems really doubtful, and it's been hanging out in this shape long enough. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 10:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment - the info box says he had 19 appearances from 2010 to 2012 (oops last team, not last season) for Malavan F.C. in Iranian Pro League listed in WP:FPL. Malavan has been continually in this league since 2004. What confuses things is that there seems to be 2 Soccerway entries, both [50] confirming 14 appearances at Malavan and [51] showing recent play.

Keep – There does appear to be evidence that the village existed. Officially recognized is irrelevant because Native American villages were never under the jurisdiction of US law. The treaties recognized territories, not villages. Doesn't matter, they were inhabited places. – Margin1522 ( talk) 19:02, 20 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Reply. According to NGEO, being inhabited isn't enough; "populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis" and revert to the standard "non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources". See any? I don't. Clarityfiend ( talk) 21:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm suggesting that a guideline about the notability of places "subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc." is inappropriate when we are talking about a place and a culture that was never legally recognized until after the inhabitants had been forcibly relocated to somewhere else. There is enough material to write about the original inhabitants of what is now Fulton County, Georgia, e.g. here. – Margin1522 ( talk) 04:00, 21 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Rebuttal. There may or may not be enough material for Native Americans in Fulton County, Georgia. There is none for one specific village; all it says is "Garrett denoted 20 villages, most concentrated along the Chattahoochee River, Peachtree Creek, Nancy Creek, Utoy Creek and Camp Creek." Clarityfiend ( talk) 05:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC) reply

OK, this is a problem that occurs in AfD discussions – the nom suggests a narrow definition of the topic and wants to delete the article because he can't find sources for that topic. I'm assuming here that this article was created by someone who took the bus tour and visited the village. Granted, that is pretty weak in terms of WP:V. But there are sources for other things mentioned in the article, such as the local Native American culture, the Sandtown Trail, the treaty, the Civil War battle, the post office, and the postwar suburb. If we want sources for that stuff, let's tag it for sources. The article claims that this was the first area in the Atlanta region to be settled by Europeans, because the land had already been cleared by Native American farmers. If that's true, it seems notable to me.

I'll add that I'm especially reluctant to !vote delete because of the wording of the nomination. This may have been unintentional, but it seems to be suggesting a general principle – that Native American villages all over North America were insignificant and can be excluded from WP for lack of legal recognition from authorities who came later. I'm really reluctant to agree with that. – Margin1522 ( talk) 23:04, 21 March 2015 (UTC) reply

You don't see a problem with verification? Nothing in the article is sourced (I wouldn't call an anonymously written paragraph or two reliable), and very little of the unreferenced stuff even has anything to do with the village. Nobody back then seems to have written much down about it or 99% of the other Native American settlements of the time. "In 1521, the village was likely visited by ... Ponce de León" simply because he was in the area?

A "narrow definition"? The article is titled "Utoy Village", not Things that happened or possibly happened somewhere in the vicinity of Utoy Village or where it used to be. "August 267th [sic] 1864 the Entire [sic] US Army moved down the Fairburn Road in the vicinity of the town of Utoy"? Somehow, I doubt the entire Union Army was on the move, but even ignoring this inaccuracy, so what? I'm pretty sure Sherman and his men marched past a lot of places on their March to the Sea.

Comment - This is actually an interesting question. There is no doubt that there was a village or villages along Utoy Creek. Whether they were named "Utoy Village" is more dubious; this strikes me as modern nomenclature. I see that we have a Battle of Utoy Creek on WP, from the American Civil War. I see that there is a Utoy Cemetery that may well have enough sourcing in the world to merit a GNG pass. But "Utoy Village?" That I sort of doubt. While there were hundreds or thousands of first nations in the US and Canada and each different from one another, I know that in my region of the country "villages" were fairly temporary, with seasonal changes of location and probably moves of the winter camps from one place to another over time. It strikes me as unlikely that the same "Utoy Village" which "may" have been visited by Ponce de Leon was the same as the locale of later village or villages in that general area. There is evidence, I SEE, of an 1821 Utoy post office. So I think this is probably a "named inhabited place" in WP terms, albeit perhaps a ghost town. If you put all these things together, I think there is probably enough material for a piece on Utoy, Georgia. But "Utoy Village?" Not so sure... Carrite ( talk) 16:43, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply

It is starting to look like my above hunch is right. Here is Herr's Episodes of the Civil War, pg. 280: "...While these movements were being made the army of the Tennessee marched to the vicinity of Utoy village [note capitalization. -t.d.], where it was massed facing south, and forming the right of the army." — This is highly indicative of an inhabited place called Utoy, Georgia — and it would be very easy to integrate the aboriginal history of the vicinity into a historical narrative about the place. That strikes me as the correct decision under our notability rules, in which consensus has traditionally regarded all named, inhabited places of confirmed existence as presumably notable. Carrite ( talk) 16:52, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep and rename Utoy, Georgia. Rewrite existing content to form and integrate post 1820 history of the place (ghost town?) into the same page. Carrite ( talk) 16:52, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply

THIS indicates the Utoy cemetery is on the Georgia list of historic places and mentions the existence of a Utoy Primitive Baptist Church (now renamed). Apparently Utoy is part of Atlanta today. Carrite ( talk) 17:03, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Siuenti: I've looked into it more and it seems like this essentially blends Core stability and Abdominal exercise. It is fairly clear that the original Core muscle training article was intended to promote the creating editor's own work, which is likely why this redundant article was created.

Comment I'm rather on the fence at the moment but almost inclining to a a "weak keep". I was the one who had tagged it as an advert back in 2014 when it contained stuff like this. I'm surprised that the` later editors who cleaned up and copyedited the article didn't remove that tag. The references found by Mr RD are from considerably better sources than the ones currently in the article and do comment on the music, not just the launch publicity , plus there's this one from the Indian Express. It might scrape a pass on GNG. I just don't know enough about the Indian music scene to know what kind of music charts they have, if any, and whether this album or its Vol 2 ever placed on them. Thus, I'd be reluctant to apply the criteria at WP:ALBUM too stringently or exclude the article solely on those grounds. Voceditenore ( talk) 16:18, 13 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Voceditenore, I believe the article passes on GNG from some of the facts about the personalities associated with it as well as the coverage it has received in Indian media. Since Indian media news do not get crawled much efficiently in Google news therefore sometimes it becomes difficult to search for them. Talking about the persons associated with this album, A. R. Rahman is a world renowned music composer-singer while Katrina Kaif is a famous actress. In India, not much reliable and famous music charts are there therefore notability can not be judged on that behalf. Also as these are the nursery rhymes therefore coming of them in any charts is not possible either. For India related articles, please use this tool to search for notable media citations. Mr RD 16:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm not sure notability can be inherited to this extent. If A. R. Rahman himself had composed the songs, it would different. Instead, they were composed by his students. But I agree that it may pass GNG on the coverage you've found. Still thinking on this, but I may well !vote "Keep" in the end. Voceditenore ( talk) 16:49, 13 March 2015 (UTC) reply

List of songs recorded by Abel Pintos

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

I know there are a lot of these type of lists (see Category:Lists of songs by recording artists), but not all musical acts have them so I am wondering what is the criteria to have one. I am nominating this one because none of the songs or albums by the artist have their own articles and all of the sources are primary. According to WP:LISTN, none of the songs have to be notable but the collection of songs here would have to be discussed in independent reliable sources. So in this case, the discography section on Abel Pintos should suffice. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 15:26, 13 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep Mungello is a full professor at Baylor. He has published a long list of book with university presses, several of which have been translated into other languages. The books have been respectfully reviewed in major journals. both his books and his scholarly articles get cited. Even on wikipedia itself, multiple pages on China-related topics link to his page. A full professorship at a major university, along with a string of well-received books that, along with your articles, are cited by scholars who follow you is what notability consists of for history professors. More can quite easily be written about how his work has influenced the field by anyone with the inclination to do so who can access JSTOR and other caches of scholarly book reviews.

Keep Inadequate article for highly notable academic author. According to WorldCat, his principal book, The forgotten Christians of Hangzhou is held in 1700 libraries; The great encounter of China and the West, 1500-1800 is held in 1491 (and translated into Chinese and into Korean) ; Drowning girls in China : female infanticide since 1650 in 663; Leibniz and Confucianism, the search for accord in 608 (and translated into Chinese) ; Curious land : Jesuit accommodation and the origins of Sinology in 546 (and translated into Chinese); The spirit and the flesh in Shandong, 1650-1785 in 266 (and translated into Chinese) ; Western queers in China : flight to the land of Oz in 223; The Chinese rites controversy : its history and meaning in 149 ^[1]. I've copied this sentence into the article. There aren multiple reviews for most of these listed in Worldcat [59]. Meets WP author because of the reviews; meets WP:PROF because clearly an authority in his field. h value is almost meaninglessmeaningless in the humanities ,as our article on it explains. it only works in those fields of science that depend upon journal articles and in which many people are publishing. Nonetheless, 812 citations to his works overall is quite high for this subject. . DGG ( talk ) 03:49, 29 March 2015 (UTC) reply

Does not meet notability under WP:BIO. All references currently provided in the article simply link to Samano's work (presumably because the creating user, Jmsamano, may have had a COI in writing this article). A search returns primarily links to Samano's work and IMDB-like sites. There does not seem to be any significant third-party coverage of the subject.

Why it pays to stay anonymus?

Becoming a newly minted millionaire comes at a personal price. You lose your anonymity. . Friends, family and random acquaintances alike, will try to get a piece of this windfall. Everyone is different. Some people will enjoy the spotlight, others won't. .. A lot of rich people come to realise latter in their lives, that there were better off if they stayed anonymous and avoid fights between family members after they passed way. Other reasons should also been taken in consideration: personal and family security, political reasons, etc…. Becoming a rich and famous person comes with another price: no privacy, or very little...

Speedy delete as a hoax. Wynn "is reportedly building a private museum for some of his artwork on his Greenwich property. In the winter of 2005, it became known that in 1999 Wynn had bought Edvard Munch's Madonna. Reportedly, this was for $11.5 million." Meanwhile, apparently in a parallel universe, Steven A. Cohen "is reportedly building a private museum for some of his artwork on his Greenwich property. In the winter of 2005, it became known that in 1999 Cohen had bought Edvard Munch's Madonna. Reportedly, this was for $11.5 million." In fact, Wynn is pretty much copied from the well-referenced Cohen article, with a few changes here and there.
