Fails WP:PROMOTION: Appears to be product advertising at the moment, and can't find sources from reputable news sources, let alone substantial coverage.

  • Delete for now as it seems it is still a small independent product. A News search finds several results in the first page from reputable and notable sources but they start to fade after the few pages. A browser search actually finds other sources such as this and this but I still think it's a little too soon. SwisterTwister talk 05:38, 29 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Circa May 1, 2015, User Kosi Onochie made a series of disruptive article moves, nine times in 2 days I believe. (See Editor move log). I PRODed the Cartoon Network (Middle East & Africa) article as I'm pretty certain it was unsourced and had probably never been sourced or had always been grossly undersourced. The PROD went unchallenged. I couldn't find significant content written about the concept of Cartoon Network (Middle East & Africa) outside of passing mentions. Unless the division is producing unique content, which I've no reason to believe based on zero references, I don't know how it's notable enough to maintain its own article. Seems you could easily incorporate a beefy paragraph of sourced prose into a general "Cartoon Network (International) article and that'd be good enough.

Appears to not be notable.

The only references in the article either only mention March incidentally, or are obviously not independent. A good faith search for sources only provided this, which does not appear to be a reliable source and I could well believe is written by March himself.

  • This Wikipedia account should not be deleted. Neil March is a respected British composer and, through his record label Demerara Records, he is making a significant contribution to the promotion of new music and upcoming composers. Sounds Positive recently commissioned Neil to compose a solo Bass Flute for our flautist Simon Desorgher (as I believe is mentioned on the Wiki page) and he is about to release a double album which will provide 28 composers from a variety of nationalities and ethnicities a platform for their music. Most of Neil's activities tend to be conducted on social media sites which may explain why you have struggled to find adequate references. That said, a simple Google Search for Neil March Urban Art Music or Neil March Demerara Records brings up numerous sites demonstrating his activities. It would be perverse if, just as he is becoming known to an international audience and is playing such a positive role in providing others with the opportunity to be heard, Wikipedia were to delete his account. I hope others involved in the contemporary music scene will join me in condemning such action although, like me, they may struggle to work out how on earth one gets to find a place to make any comment on your proposed deletion as this is very unclear. — Soundspositive ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 13:38, 4 May 2015 (UTC). reply
    @ Soundspositive: If March is just becoming well known, then he should have plenty of independent sources soon, at which point it's entirely fine for him to have an article. However, he's not well known yet, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball – we don't assume he's going to become notable until he actually is.
    Social media sites incredibly rarely count as reliable sources for establishing notability; we'd be looking for things like newspapers or music magazines writing biographies of March, or him receiving some major awards for his music.

    @ Hornetmuziq: Having a Ph.D. has never been a criteria for notability. I'm not sure where you've picked that up from; the notability criteria for academics at WP:NACADEMICS is considerably more strict. — me_ and 18:14, 5 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Further to the above point, there has been a substantial update to Neil March's page which now includes links (in the references section) to websites demonstrating BBC Radio 3 and Resonance FM playlisting tracks from his album and Goldsmiths University having published his PhD Thesis which contradict the claim that any substantial references to him were written by Neil himself. The main text in the article has also been updated showing Sound and Music's support for Neil's activities, Tunecore's involvement in distributing his album and reference to BBC Radio 3 and Resonance FM who have recently been playing his music. It would be helpful to know, if these changes are still not considered sufficient proof of status, what exactly you need because a lot of the criticism is couched on technical language that means nothing to the rest of us.

    @ Hornetmuziq: To be notable by Wikipedia's definition, March would need to meet one of the notability criteria such as the general notability guideline or any of the other guidelines – I've linked to all the obviously relevant ones in the post above. In short, we need enough in independent sources to be able to write the article about March without having to do any original research; currently we don't have that. None of the sources on the article at the moment give significant coverage of March himself. — me_ and 18:14, 5 May 2015 (UTC) reply
Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I believe I am a reasonable authority on contemporary British classical music and have been responsible for much of the work on Neil March's Wikipedia page. I believe there are a number of links to external sources which I would be happy to add to the page and which may be of significance in determining your decision. They are as follows:
  • https://www.facebook.com/groups/DCM.Contemporary.musicforum/ - this is a link to the Drowningcircle Music Facebook Forum with over 700 members hosted by composer Julian Broadhurst. The entry for 27 March 2015 is Broadhurst's introduction of Neil March to his followers with text and links to audio files.
  • http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006tp52/podcasts - this is the BBC Radio Three podcast which makes Neil March's 'Metal Cutter' available to the show's fans to download.
  • https://twitter.com/BBCR3MusicBot/status/591378200187514880 - this is a BBC Radio Three entry on Twitter referring to the above track.
  • https://twitter.com/BBCRadio3/status/591378269448052736 - this is from BBC Radio Three's Twitter account, entry for 23 April 2015: "Building site noise driving you crazy? Do what @Neilmarch of @DemeraraRecords has done, record it and turn it into music #nowplaying"
  • http://research.gold.ac.uk/11458/1/MUS_thesis_MarchN_2015.pdf - I realize this link is already listed on the Wikipedia page but I include it to highlight the point that, although it links to a thesis authored by Neil March in attainment of his Doctorate of Philosophy, it has been independently published and placed in the public domain by Goldsmiths, University of London.
  • http://www.martingaughan.co.uk/ - this is the website of composer Martin Gaughan. The entry for 25 May 2014 talks about a Neil March composition being performed by pianist Dilara Aydinn-Corbett and describes how the piece, which also involves live electronics, is to be realized.
  • https://twitter.com/marcyeats - this is the Twitter account of composer Marc Yeats. His tweet on 4 May 2015 reads: "I made the #NewMusicHero hashtag this morning it may already exist but pleased it's being used for #composers @juil_Broadhurst & @Neilmarch", a reference to Neil March's work in supporting and promoting new music.
  • https://www.facebook.com/pages/Black-Marine/116678811752277?fref=ts - this is the Facebook Artist's page for Serbian pianist and composer Marina Vesic. Entries for 31 March 2015 and 1 April 2015 refer to her excitement at having agreed to contribute to an album being curated by Neil March for his Demerara Records label.
  • http://www.talkclassical.com/24581-perspectives-neil-march.html - this is a link to the Talk Classical site which refers to a performance of Neil March's 'Perspectives' by the pianist Helena Gascoyne. This may not count as the entry appears to have been placed by Hornetmuziq Press, March's publisher.
In conclusion, I would suggest that the page should not be deleted. On balance, there is sufficient evidence of March being a notable composer and we must accept that, in the modern era, social media platforms are increasingly taking over as the main vehicles through which others involved in contemporary music express their ideas and opinions. There is also an important point which must have a bearing on your decision. Namely that, even if the page were to be deleted, it is inevitable that another Neil March Wikipedia page will need to be created in the near future given the speed at which he and his label Demerara Records are becoming known on the international stage where they already enjoy thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook and where Demerara Records is becoming a focal point for an increasingly international list of non-mainstream composers.
  • 6 May 2015 Eifion Morgan (Welshman81): Two additional points. My above entry is described as "unsigned". How so? Also, I note you have questioned whether Sounds Positive works for or is associated with Neil March. Sounds Positive is a musical ensemble formed by composer David Sutton-Anderson in the late nineteen-seventies which has been performing live for nearly forty years and has no direct association with March beyond having recently commissioned him to compose a work for Sounds Positive's Flautist Simon Desorgher and the fact which is referred in the main section on the Wikipedia page that March studied with Sutton-Anderson at Birkbeck, University of London. So the speculation here is incorrect. SIGNED: EIFION MORGAN (aka Welshman81)! — Welshman81 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    @ Welshman81: Regarding the "unsigned" thing, when making comments on Wikipedia talk pages (such as this page) you should sign your posts with ~~~~, which will become a link to your username and talk page when you save your changes, as well as the time of your comment.
    None of the links you've provided establish notability according to Wikipedia's general notability guideline, either through lack of independence, lack of reliability or lack of significant coverage about March. While a lot of coverage is moving to social media now, it's still very rarely a useful source for establishing notability according to Wikipedia's guidelines, simply because it's very rare for it to provide that independent, reliable, significant coverage.
    If March does in future meet one of the notability guidelines, it's absolutely fine for an article to be recreated. We can even undelete the article so editors don't need to start from scratch again. If the article is repeatedly recreated without him meeting the guidelines, though, it's likely to be " salted", which will block the article from being created without an administrator removing the block.

Thank you for clarifying matters. I accept your point about the possible absence of 'significant' data on the social media sites I have postulated but not about reliability or independence. I was quite careful only to choose examples in which independence was clearly established, the entries having been made by Julian Broadhurst of Drowningcirlce music (DCM), Marc Yeats who is composer-in-residence for the Observatory and a former protégé of Peter Maxwell-Davies, BBC Radio 3, Goldsmiths, University of London, the official website of composer Martin Gaughan and an entry on an artist's page by composer and pianist Marina Vesic. All these sources are reliable and independent. However I do agree that one of the problems with relying on social media is the absence of extensive articles in a world where soundbite is the primary means of communication, ironically one of the features of urban post-globalization society commonly referred to in Neil March's music.~~~~, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Welshman81 ( talk • contribs) 10:46, 10 May 2015 (UTC) — Welshman81 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

  • Looking at that list and numbering from 1 at the top to 20 at the bottom, numbers 8, 12, 13, 16 and 20 are not reliable sources - 12 is a Wikipedia mirror site. Number 1 and 2 are Associated Press news wire stories repeated. Number 3 and 9 are word-for-word identical and derived from 4 & 5, while 6 and 19 are mirrors of 5; 5 itself is an air crash database entry. Number 4 is local coverage. Number 7 and 18 are the same URL; the story is based on another website. Number 10 is an air crash database entry; 11 and 14 are mirrors of 3. The URL for 15 is no longer valid, but I found the story elsewhere on the website - it is a database entry of four sentences; 17 is also an air crash database entry. So from 19 sources, 5 can't be used and the bulk of the other 14 are database entries or their mirrors and derivatives. There are effectively four brief news stories in that list, the database entries and the four news stories do not constitute "significant coverage", so my !vote is Delete.

  • Comment Shelbystripes' argument is flawed, there hasn't been "substantial" news coverage, there has just been many news outlets repeating the same three or four sentences. There could be 500 such news reports, that does not make the coverage substantial. Shelbystripes' argument is basically "keep just in case there is some good reason in the future".

  • Delete Fails WP:NPOL. Yes, there are distinct news mentions of her, but they all relate to her career in politics. In other words, you could get a similar amount of coverage for any candidate who stood at the 2015 General Election, simply because the (local) press will cover any story about the local candidates. If this individual had other coverage outside of politics, then I'd lean towards a keep. The article as it stands is a collection of non-notable incidents in an otherwise ordinary person's life (battle on Twitter, someone against the bedroom tax, various local campaigns, etc).

Yes, I appreicate that GNG beats NPOL (for example, Lance Armstrong could be deleted by saying he fails NPOL), but this individual's coverage is exclusive to her politicial career with plenty of GHits for news coverage. Also standing in the same election were (to name two) Ted Strike and Drew Dunning with 37 and 9 distinct news stories each. The same arguement could be applied to either of these, but by our standards, they would both be non-notable. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Lugnuts: - The same argument could be applied, if 37 or 9 were equal to 134.  ;-) <snark intended>

Opposition

I feel like I'm being targeted by certain users because I oppose the botching of diacritics in hockey-related articles. Also, as much as I hate repeating myself, the IIHF actually wrote a piece of news (http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/?tx_ttnews[tt_news]=8179&cHash=50c92eec834e0cf875456fd5e372b427) that went in depth on Vancouver Angels. That being said, just because your research didn't turn up anything doesn't mean my research couldn't turn up anything. Maybe we were just looking at different places? — CÉDRIC TSÄN CANTONAIS SAYS NO TO I.P. EDITS! 18:35, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply

It is the responsibility of those wanting to keep an article to prove its notability. If you have more sources than this one then by all means provide them as it requires multiple independent sources to provide notability. You are not being targeted. I didn't even realize this was an article you made until you commented on the talk page. (and for what its worth I am actually well known on the wiki as pro-diacritics so it would be silly of me to target you for liking them) - DJSasso ( talk) 19:10, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
I was not referring to any particular individual(s). But ever since I voiced my concern regarding diacritics, there has been quite many actions of proposal on deleting articles I wrote or reverting my edits. So I just couldn't help feeling targeted. Also, I just added more independent sources ask you asked. — CÉDRIC TSÄN CANTONAIS SAYS NO TO I.P. EDITS! 00:27, 20 May 2015 (UTC) reply

A few weeks ago, I started a discussion at the Village Pump regarding current conventions about neglecting diacritics. After that, several users had been reverting my edits and now this article I wrote is put on the chopping board. I don't know know if I was just thinking too much or if this discussion is merely about notability.
  • Regarding the IIHF coverage, I did leave a hidden note inside the article stating that Wikipedia couldn't recognise the URL address because it contains brackets that can't be removed. — CÉDRIC TSÄN CANTONAIS SAYS NO TO I.P. EDITS! 19:16, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

We don't see that. See https://www.google.ca/search?as_eq=wikipedia&q="Vancouver+Angels+(Hockey)"&num=50 I don't see the www.iihf.com "article" as meeting RS as it's tied to the subject. Also to clarify, it's not "the responsibility of those wanting to keep an article to prove its notability", it is the responsibility of all editors participating in the discussion to determine the notability of the subject, particularly the nominator.

  • Delete Let's put aside diacritical marks and personal attacks for the moment. At least two of the current sources are lists that offer little information, and another source is a story about how the team put on events around the world for women's hockey awareness, but the article does not focus on the team. There have to be more robust sources, or this article will remain a stub. Is this article at its upper limit of expandability? How much more information can reliable sources offer? If the answer is little to none, then I will support this article's deletion nomination. fds Talk 19:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
    • I dug through about 50 Google search results for "'Vancouver Angels' hockey club", and most of the articles are about other topics that mention the club by name only once and return to the other topic. Some of the sites list coach's experience with the club — nothing about the club. Many of the search results were of the club playing another club, so the site name-checked the Angels while covering its opponents. I ran across some of the current listed sources within the results, and they, of course, are more substantive, but there doesn't seem to be a readily available pool of second-hand information about the club. I must support the nomination. fds Talk 21:59, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep: What exactly does the song being one year old have to do with it's verifiable-ness? Or the fact that it may or may not appear on an album? There have been singles released 2-3 years before being included on an album, Y.U.Mad by Birdman was released in 2011, his album still hasn't surfaced but there's no sign of it being left off. 212 by Azealia Banks was released in 2011, and still made an appearance on her 2014 album. "aka Juicy J is likely to leave it off" you have no source to back it up, the point you're making is original research You already gave my reasoning for keeping the article for me, it charted. Along with the fact it's been covered by a dozen or so reliable third-party sources. No idea why this was nommed for deletion, it easily meets notability guidelines, other points about the fact it's a year old and may not appear on the artists new album mean nothing. Azealia911 talk 17:18, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I agree with the above comment. Not sure how this doesn't meet notability guidelines based on the fact that it might not appear on his album? It is a song by a notable subject that charted and features numerous other notable subjects. It also received quite a bit of media coverage (some of which isn't even included in the article). If anything, someone might want to add some of the newer references that are available. Otherwise, this is a well-written article about a clearly notable subject that uses plenty of reliable and verifiable sources. gargleafg ( talk) 23:22, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply

"No one outside of hip hop fans know that this exists." Not only is this an assumption, it's incorrect. I wouldn't consider myself a rap fan, I like a couple artists, but I knew of this song. Even if it doesn't make the final cut...so what? Nowhere in the notability guidelines for song creation does it state that a song has to be on an album to have independent article. The significant coverage comes from MusicTimes, Billboard, Spin, Complex, which are all sourced in the article itself. So please do come and renominate it when it doesn't make the cut for Pure THC, because it'll just be decided to be kept again, due to the same amount of notable coverage in the article that was a deciding factor this time.

The part "Controversy" should in no case be posted on Louise Blouin personal page. It does not concern her private life. "In 2010, an article in the New York Post noted controversy over payments to freelance writers for the arts publications of Blouin's company. One group, WAAANKAA (Writers Angry At Artinfo Not Kidding Around Anymore), demanded back payments of $18,000. [1] In December 2013, Artinfo.com abruptly laid off 25 international employees. The New York Observer posted a 1,000-word internal email from Louise Blouin to staff explaining that the move was part of a new direction in which "One person doing all and not good we need less of one but many more." [2] In February 2014, the New York Post reported that two former executives were suing Blouin for $250,000 in pay and commissions. [3]"

While I don't mean to detract from your other rationales, isn't an AllMusic listing WP:ROUTINE, like a person being listed in the phone book? Or a film being listed in IMDb, which is decidedly not considered a sign of notability. —Largo Plazo ( talk) 03:52, 20 May 2015 (UTC) reply
An Allmusic listing - yes, though not quite like IMDb, which has most of its content user-generated. However, an Allmusic biography - no. Those are less common. Many artists briefly listed in the database do not have biographies written about them. The bios are written by a professional staff for a publication with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. So what if Allmusic is very extensive in its coverage? Are you suggesting that a source with extensive coverage automatically means that the notability of the subjects the source discusses are automatically less notable? If you have issues with the reliability of Allmusic, then please bring up the issue at the reliable sources noticeboard. But I don't think you'll get far, as numerous discussions have determined that content written by Allmusic staff is about as reliable as you can get.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:14, 20 May 2015 (UTC) reply
Re-reading what I wrote I realize that I might come across as very challenging, Largoplazo, for which I apologize. I was merely trying to show why Allmusic coverage is different than just routine blurbs.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:18, 20 May 2015 (UTC) reply
"So what if Allmusic is very extensive in its coverage? Are you suggesting that a source with extensive coverage automatically means that the notability of the subjects the source discusses are automatically less notable?" Yes, in comparison to media where inclusion involves some degree of selectivity, inclusion of an entity in any medium where inclusion is WP:ROUTINE for entities of like or similar type is, ipso facto, not an indication of notability. I am not notable because my name is in the phone book. Inclusion in Martindale-Hubbell does not contribute to a finding that a U.S. lawyer is notable. Inclusion in the state's list of health inspection reports doesn't indicate that a restaurant is notable. If the presence of a biography on AllMusic does involve some selectivity, then that's a different story, but if it didn't, then, yes, it wouldn't be a valid argument for a finding of notability. —Largo Plazo ( talk) 11:41, 20 May 2015 (UTC) reply
I agree with you here. There is selectivity, though, in who gets an Allmusic bio. For instance, right now I'm creating an article for the band A Hill to Die Upon, which does not have any Allmusic bio or review, but has been featured in Terrorizer and HM, and been reviewed by HM. This band is clearly notable, but has nothing but a discography listing on Allmusic.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 14:04, 20 May 2015 (UTC) reply

Could you rephrase that so that it makes sense? You want a reliable source for what? That they have made it in a national music chart? shows that they charted]. I'm not sure if that's good enough for you but it seems fine to me. Btw, I went to wp:SPI and didn't see a case opened for Ivettealexandra. You have also failed to provide any reasonable, logical, or (for that matter) any basis that they are a sock puppet.

I'm sorry it doesn't make sense. It's common for editors such as you to mistake MUSICBIO as a stand-alone criteria. There is a discussion there that the majority of editors believe it is not a stand-alone criteria that a subject can meet, but a guideline for determining how a subject might meet WP:GNG.
No SPI because I meant WP:SPA. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 06:43, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
It's been pointed out above that it meets GNG. It's common for what? You should probably not go in that direction. And SPA? Yeah you should probably go back and read WP:SPATG. While they may technically be a SPA, they only made their first edit 5 or 6 days ago. -Serialjoepsycho- ( talk) 07:10, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
Perhaps you should keep your personal comments to yourself. There was a claim that it met GNG, but that has not been proven. I did read SPA. Nothing new. Is there something specific you think I'm missing? The editor admitted on on the commons that she works for this band's record label. She's only edited articles associated with that record label. She is clearly in COI and is obviously a SPA. I have not time for your vague commentary. Unless you can make a complete argument, I will ignore you here. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 07:25, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
There is a full argument here. Above. It is mentioned that the group "is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians." This in addition charting on a Country's national music chart. Both fall under WP:BAND. The case has also been made reasonably that it passes GNG. There's that reasonable case vs your case. The only thing compelling that you have offered is that the creator has a COI and is a SPA. However since they are new and they have so few edits per WP:SPATG it's a bit piss poor to label them a SPA. As for the COI, I'm not seeing any evidence of this. Also they have released 3 Albums with Provident Label Group which is a Division of Sony Music Entertainment. Per WP:BAND "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels." -Serialjoepsycho- ( talk) 08:46, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
I agree with that. The article meets three of the criteria for bands/musical ensemble's, which can be verified through coverage in independent sources. In addition to that are the sources highlighted in the above discussions.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 14:18, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect. I was excited to see a hit for it in a paper about earth-grazers [32] but it turned out to be spurious and the reference that actually mentioned it was just about names of asteroids (a topic that is too unselective to contribute to notability — if an asteroid were notable only for its name then it should be mentioned only in the article about whoever it is named after, in this case Domingo Faustino Sarmiento). The only actual astronomical study I found was a 25-asteroid lightcurve study [33], not enough. — David Eppstein ( talk) 00:51, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply

Lack of reliable independent secondary sources per WP:ORG and WP:HOAX. All of the cited sources are self-published.

  • Comment Delete – Not much substance there and it seems of marginal notability at best. It appears that GSA is a very narrowly defined term relating to E-911 services in Nova Scotia. The first ref is to a pilot project final report and its recommendation: "In place of the E-911 reference to "community" it is recommended, for at least the purpose of the NSCAF initiative, that the areas be renamed as General Service Areas (GSA)." In addition, the article was created by a confirmed sockpuppet. That fact alone shouldn't preclude keeping it, but this sockfarm has made a bunch of dubious edits in the past and caused a lot of disruption. Mojoworker ( talk) 17:35, 15 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - this is just way too broad, and its meaning in Nova Scotia is not the same elsewhere. It just means any area that has some kind of service, whether it's cell phone coverage, bus route, health care etc. [41], [42], [43] Additionally it doesn't seem that notable within NC either, but could be more of a mention in the NC article I guess. —Мандичка YO 😜 04:21, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, rename to Shaheed Tajul (name apparently misspelled Tazul, Comrade is not part of his name) Weak keep - the article is definitely horribly written (I didn't even know what country he was from until I read the article), I would think he might meet the GNG because he has an annual day named after him. This bit from the article appears to establish notability by referring to him as a pioneer: "Shaheed Comrade Tajul Day was observed yesterday, marking the 25th death anniversary of Tajul Islam, one of the pioneers of the workers' movement in the country." More sources needed though. —Мандичка YO 😜 03:58, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
Additional sources found, he was also the party leader and is referred to as a martyr, [44], [45], [46], [47] I added his name in Bengali to his page. What do you think Wikicology? —Мандичка YO 😜 04:15, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
He is a leader of a minor and non-notable, local trade union called "Adamjee Majdur (worker) Trade Union" and probably "Communist Party of Bangladesh". Nobody seemed to be observing his death anniversary apart from his own party and was only notable for his death and not as leader of "Adamjee Majdur (worker) Trade Union". I can't find a single source that discussed him in detail as a notable leader of "Adamjee Majdur (worker) Trade Union". All I can see is sources about the so-called anniversary which is only being observed by a single part. Wikic¤l¤gy t@lk to M£ 06:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
(edit conflict) I don't think it's relevant that the day is only observed by one party or a minority group, since it receives press coverage by national press [48] [49]. Additionally, it appears the day is also observed by the Socialist Party, if I read this article correctly, and they have rallies with speeches and a ceremony to mark the event. [50] That he has a legacy like that means it is not WP:ONEEVENT. —Мандичка YO 😜 07:02, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, rename to Shaheed Tajul Islam: He's likely notable by most standards according to Мандичка! I've also tried to clean the article up a bit. The reason for nomination though isn't really right since BLP1E applies only to living people. There is a Tazul Islam ( [51]) on bnwiki but that's actually another martyr from the liberation war. Besides, it looks like the article didn't have any time to be developed, seeing as it was struck with this AfD barely 10 minutes after creation! I also support renaming to Tajul instead of Tazul according to Romanization of Bengali. A full name also seems nicer.
It's all perspective on whether someone is notable or not. I still support keeping the article. –  Nahiyan8 ( talk |  contribs) 07:01, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply
Thank you Nahiyan8 for cleaning up the article, including linking to the Adamjee Jute Mills, which was the largest jute mill in the world with 25,000+ workers. So I don't think it's correct to judge it as a non-notable local trade union. —Мандичка YO 😜 07:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC) reply

@ 99Baller007: Take a read of WP:NF. Wikipedia requires that a film topic be written about in reliable sources which other readers can themselves check. Nice that it was seen by 600 people, but it was not |"Noticed" by any sources. if it ever gains a wider viewership and receives some media attention, it could be welcomed back. Thanks.

True, but unless this is protected against recreation someone looking at the Beyblade article could see him mentioned and assume that he should have an article. Also, if there was a consensus for the redirect we could protect the redirect itself to prevent this hypothetical issue for happening. I am not sure if that is th right course of action but I don't think that potential article recreation should be a major concern especially since it can easily be undone.-- 70.27.231.57 ( talk) 01:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply
