I suggest this article should be removed. It does not explain when and how this "orb of light" appears/appeared or what it is. We don't have an article titled "Howling noise", Content: "Howling noises are suggested to be created by ghosts." either. If ghosts sometimes appear as orbs of light, that should be noted in the Ghost article. We don't need a separate article consisting of a single paragraph, really.

Delete: self-explaining compound with content that's a definition. If anyone were to search this term often, then the vote would be "redirect" to
paranormal research or something similar. However, no one's going to come along and say, "I just watched "Ghost Busters"; I wonder what 'orb of light' is? I know! I'll use Wikipedia."

Redirect to
ghost: I've seen the term used fairly frequently, almost always in relation to the paranormal- although the term is occasionally used in relation to
Christianity. A look at the
page views shows that it gets about an average of 100-130 hits a month, so there are people searching for this term or at least coming across it somehow. You can see its usage in these types of places. Books (
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6]) News (
[7],
[8],
[9],
[10]) Now I'm not saying that the use of the term in these books means that this should have its own page. Mostly I'm just listing these because I want to show that the term is used and has been used for years in relation to the paranormal. It's a pretty commonly used term, although there are variations like "light orb".

Keep Clearly a notable police/fire department, if for only its unique status as both. Its 1983 formation from the separate police and fire departments predates Google's newspaper archiving, but the Kalamazoo Gazette published literally hundreds of articles about the department (note that number does not include the hundreds more about what the department does, fighting fires and doing law enforcement). It was a politically contentious issue for several years. In addition, there have been major scandals in the department (a LT addicited to crack and hookers and stealing evidence from the evidence impound, among others) These have received coverage in newspapers. The information does not have to be in the article or the references easily locate-able on Google for notability to attach. I am not in the Kalamazoo area to search out the sources anymore, but they are there.

"unfortunately, the "mop wedding" thing may also have been a hoax. Posted in 2008 by an editor whose contributions are basically limited to this item. The article cited the following sources:
Brand, John (1849) Observations on the popular antiquities of Great Britain, Henry G Bohn, London.
Fiennes, Celia (1947) The Journeys of Celia Fiennes, Cresset Press, London.
Maurice, Ashley (1952) England in the Seventeenth Century, Pelican, London.
Cobbett, William (1885) Rural Rides, Reeves and Turner, London.
Borrow, George Henry (1862) Wild Wales, John Murray, London.
Stone, Lawrence (1990) Road to Divorce, Clarendon Press, Oxford.
Brand (1849) is accessible online, and it does not contain any material on "mop weddings" which should be enough to give us pause. Likewise, Cobbett (1885) is online here and it does not contain any references to mops. This should be enough to treat the entire thing as a hoax pending confirmation." See
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk%3AJumping_the_broom&type=revision&diff=656874839&oldid=656874185
The mention that mop fairs might be somewhere people looked for marriage partners can be mentioned at that article - it does not support the concept of a specific type of wedding associated with mop fairs. I will of course withdraw if significant coverage of "mop weddings" can be found and verified.

Here and

mop fair page take note of it. --
dab(𒁳) 05:15, 29 May 2015 (UTC)reply
Keep/merge I see more sources which indicate that there's something to this. For example, The Victorian Village — "hence it was also known as a 'mop fair'. ... Young workers used the fairs as a good opportunity for match-making, and many a happy marriage had its origin in a meeting at the statute fair." Geographic School Bulletins — "the Onion Fair at Birmingham, and the picturesque old "Mop Fair" at Stratford-on-Avon. ... The hiring of servants and the settlement of marriage contracts were deals no more out of place on medieval midways ..." Merger into
mop fair seems a reasonable way forward.
Andrew D. (
talk) 07:41, 29 May 2015 (UTC)reply
the point is not that people never married at mop fairs, the point is that the term "mop wedding" is completely unsubstantiated, and Wikipedia should try not to establish as "legitimate" terms that did not previously exist... so at best this would become a "non-printworthy redirect". It turns out, though, that the term "
runaway match" does exist, and that such "runaway matches" were often made at mop fairs. --

HOAX - DELETE --
Mop fairs were about hiring servants, not marrying them. I have a copy of Cobbett and have checked its index. It has one reference to the Marriage Act (Dent Everyman edn 1912, repr. 1941, i, 155), as part of a discussion of turnpikes; the reference is to Clandestine
Marriage Act 1753. I cannot check Fiennes as my copy is only indexed by place (not subject) or Borrow as my copy is not indexed. Fairs would certainly be means for youngh people to make matches, but "common law marriage" was an exception, based on a promise of marriage followed by living together. Marriage was the province of the clergy. Couples would have the banns of marriage read in church on three Sundays, after which they could marry in church. There may have been a few "peculiar" jurisdictions, where a licence could be obtained quickly. Otherwise couples had to resort to a journey (run-away) to Scotland where the law was different, noteably
Gretna Green. Merging this to the article on
Mop fairs would be to vandalise that (decent) article. Going before a magistrate is highly improbable: the magistrate would be likely to refer them to the vicar. His involvement would be more when a clandestine marriage went wrong, when he was called upon to make an affiliation order after the man deserted his "wife". I do not think the two referneces to runaway matches help: the second refers to Ireland (where the law was - and is - different), whereas they alleged sources all concern England and Wales.
Peterkingiron (
talk) 16:10, 29 May 2015 (UTC)reply
nobody suggested "merging" the existing article via copy-paste, because, as you point out, it contains fake references. But I fail to see how it would constitute "vandalism" to add to the
mop fair page sourced statements such as "the Mop Fair became something of a marriage market" (Brian Jewell, Fairs and Revels, 1976, p. 22). --

Jbhunley: People like myself who are fans of music like to find new music by searching for record labels. I am a fan of Crystal Fighters and was recently introduced to IS TROPICAL and saw they joined a new label. I began searching for other releases from the label and noticed there wasn't a Wikipedia page. If you look at a lot of independent record labels (Carpark Records, Gnar Tapes...) you will notice they pretty much only list the releases by the label That doesn't make those pages useless. I have discovered many great bands from both of the mentioned wiki pages so wanted to compile a page for this label to reciprocate for those who have put the time in to provide me with ways to find new music over the years.

Thanks for

notability. For what it's worth, and not surprisingly, the same results you listed above were returned in my search and I found them almost all within the category of gossip columns. (Yes, even the BBC has gossip aplenty! They're "getting with the times", presumably.) I believe that self-promotion can be accepted as justification for a Wikipedia
BLP only if it reaches critical mass in mainstream media, as in the case of
Paris Hilton or
the Kardashians. Otherwise, every "trending" topic or any "top google search" is fair game. Wikipedia's rules state that "persons who actively seek out media attention are not low-profile, regardless of whether or not they are notable." Notice that having a
"high profile" due to self-sοught media attention does not make one necessarily
notable. But I could be mistaken. Cheers. -

The Bangkok Post is a reliable metro newspaper, like the New York Times. The other refs are not "related" to the event, except the official site. The other refs are news outlets that talk about this segment, like music magazines talk about music without being related to the musicians. But yes, it's only one event so far. As I said, there should be a guideline for national beauty queens. In the absence of one, I'd like to say that "in-depth" coverage for beauty queens should consist in the publication of their images, not of written texts, because they are notable for their beauty, not for their utterings.

[20], etc. Her name in Thai letters gives 83,700 google hits. She's certainly a major celebrity in Thailand. Besides, she was among the Top 10 in the Thai Supermodel contest in 2013, according to
her article in the Thai Wikipedia which is well sourced. I'll add something here too.

All sources I added conform to WP:RS, and all except the offical site of Thai Supermodel, are also independent sources. I suggest you read the guideline again. Besides, apparently you didn't get it yet, so I'll spell it out for you: Miss Grand International is based in Thailand. The winner of Miss Grand Thailand will take on the rest of the world, at home. Moreover, in developing countries to win a beauty pageant is the dream of a vast majority of girls, and the actual winners are envied, revered, adored, and talked about in the media, no end. That is the essence of notability and the subject of this article is a major celebrity in Thailand, as is demonstrated by the many sources. The notion that newspapers in Thailand would need, or even take, press releases to report on Miss Grand Thailand is absurd. All major media have their own correspondents there, at the pageant and later at any event where she appears.

Weak keep: It's true that there won't be a lot of press discussing the actress's performance, as she's terribly young. She did play in the Showtime series Penny Dreadful as "Young Mina," and she has UK television appearances (IMDB profile was not easy to find:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4313039/). There is no reason to believe that the upcoming appearances won't be true.

Article has no reliable independent sources to establish notability (and a possible COI problem). Google searches for the author's name, the "ground-breaking" bestseller A Dictionary of Nigerian Pidgin and Slang and the award-winning poem Tree of Life in connection with the author all come up empty or show only self-published activity and 1-2 passing mentions.

Delete As I wrote when I PRODded the article, "I find no evidence of notability, including any references in independent sources to the one claim of significance, about having written the first Nigerian colloquialism dictionary. That doesn't mean it isn't true, but it isn't clear that any note of him as its author has been achieved." The article has been expanded since, but with no new sources identified beyond Chukwu's blog (and I believe, based on the user's name, that Chukwu is this article's creator, which makes this article
original research, a primary source). As for the listing of Chukwu's "other notable works", I ran Google searches on several of them and found no mention of them outside of Chukwu's own web outlets.

Delete or redirect. The sources are of low-quality (mostly just what looks like
WP:NEWSBLOG posts, one of which is sourced to Reddit; plus a cite to Bulbapedia, which is a wiki, and several what looks like the personal website of the person who invented it.)

reliable source coverage to claim
WP:GNG instead. I also note from the edit history that the article was previously tagged for prod as an unsourced BLP, but the creator removed the tag with the edit summary "No references? Why don't you try READING THE ARTICLE?!" — but while the article does list an external link, that link is to a source which fails to satisfy GNG or to demonstrate any reason why he would qualify for a Wikipedia article on any criterion more substantive than "he exists". Mere existence is not what gets a writer into Wikipedia, however — reliable source coverage, supporting a substantive claim of notability, is what it takes. But that's lacking.

I could create a fully referenced season article for clubs playing in the ninth and tenth levels of English football, but it doesn't mean they are in any way notable.

Consensus is most certainly not clear. There have been a handful of low profile AFDs for some poorly referenced articles that may well not have met
WP:GNG. However we shouldn't ignore that the meeting
WP:GNG trumps anything else. If local teams playing in a county league at the tenth level of English football somehow meet
WP:GNG with the extensive national coverage that the often fully-professional teams in this national league get ... then they should have individual seasons articles - though that does seem unlikely.

"You wouldn't be here if I hadn't nominated it." We don't want to be here. That reply reveals an ignorance of the deletion process. Please study
WP:BEFORE and take note of Part B. Carry out these checks, #2 "If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources." and Part D. "The minimum search expected is a Google Books search and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects. Such searches should in most cases take only a minute or two to perform."
Filing AfD's without doing your
due diligence is unacceptable and if you make a habit of it, it may be seen as disruptive. Do this again and we'll be seeking out a ban from you filing another AfD. Your nomination is lazy. —
Berean Hunter(talk) 23:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)reply
Lazy or not, it was far more productive than slapping a "Multiple issues" tag on a piece of original research, and calling it a day for over six years. These things should be deleted, and brought back after someone drafts a reasonably proper article. Leaving it up till whenever that is doesn't make sense. Just sends the message that verifiability and notabilty are merely preferred, and publishing garbage is Wikipedia's second choice.
InedibleHulk(talk) 00:19, 29 May 2015 (UTC)reply
No, it wasn't productive. Trying now to belittle my editing when you have done nothing to improve the article at all? You're in no position to critique as you've done nothing to
fix it. But we'll see what others think of your actions as this AfD runs its course. —
Berean Hunter(talk) 01:03, 29 May 2015 (UTC)reply
I wasn't trying to belittle your editing, I didn't even know you touched the page. I'm just saying the article is garbage, and this clearly led to sources appearing on the Talk Page. Those make it a little better, so it was productive. I'd bet this survives an AfD, so if you want to clean that turd up using those sources, you'll be undoubtedly more productive than I've been. I'm not looking to win a contest or make an enemy here.

Keep: The article could be improved, because there are sources that could help it now. I suspect the article was written when there was less online than now. (I hear that in the early days, state historical societies were only spotty in their online sourcing and people used to have to rely on paper.) However, this is an infamous crime from a time when the nation could be shocked by a murder.

Comment. The nominator's statement "All the article says is the person was a dress maker" is completely untrue. It states clearly that she was one of the founders of the women's dress reform movement in Germany. The

Delete: Before someone accuses me of hypocrisy, my view is that an actress or actor with three roles on national television or better is probably a lock for notability, even if that actress is playing character roles, while one who has only a single film role and then stage work is not a lock. Without such certainty, I'd say that the guidelines trump the benefit of the doubt and milk of human kindness. The actress may well need a Wikipedia article in a few years, but not yet, it seems.

Delete in spirit, unsure about the letter - Per nom, this is a "content fork" of better pages, or more likely a poor rewrite from scratch. I do not see much of value to be kept.
This being said, it may be better for organization to have a unique article for
convergent thinking and
divergent thinking since those notions seem to exist primarily in opposition to each other, or an article that compares them (in the vein of
good and evil coexisting with
evil). Hence I could see a move and rewrite (from scratch). Is there a guideline for such cases?

Actually, I've had a more critical look at the
convergent thinking page, and it's not very good either. Some of the references just don't match the claims in the text. I agree that convergent and divergent thinking as I understand them are considered frequently as a pair, and that merging the two pages would be a good idea, and then overhauling. Would a joint page be more likely to be better maintained?

Very well, so what does it illuminate or contextualize? Is the thing itself notable? Well, no: X & Y "production?" Production? The article isn't actually about the title, the title is not notable, and the content is a sketch, at best, of bullet points.

This article is not remotely ready to be published. The writing is so bad as to be unintelligible, and the title needs to be fixed to something that is not nonsensical, as well as notability established (just because there is more rain then usual does not mean there is anything special about it! It's weather!). This article, if it fits as a valid inclusion in Wikipedia, should be moved to the user's page and sent for the improvements on drafts, and definitely not be published until the English is fixed and intelligible if it does fit. ~Rayvn 19:45, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Reply This article published information about the current disaster caused by the weather in North India. On neutral point of view this article may seem just a usual incident but it affected on vast scale to locals. In March there was not only extra rain then usual but the very heavy rainfall on vast scale that damaged crop in the half area of the country.
Damages are : The 20% seasonal crop of the half area of country (Damage worth of approx Rs 10 thousand crore) Fatalities around over 100 till now. caused flood in Jammu & Kashmir.
- Also the name of the article is given as it is the name given to this incident by local and affected peoples, media, and also in official documents. Please see

delete/userfy I think that comparing this to the article
January_2015_North_American_blizzard shows what this article does not have -- no historical data, no scientific data, very little information on why this isn't just another bad weather year. None of the references I could access refer to the suicides (unfortunately I am unable to view the video as it just hangs; ditto the PDF.) If the creator of this wishes to continue to work on it, it can be done in user space, and then go through

My Point It surprising that rather than trying to improve article, most reply indicating straight away deletion of this article. Also the comments came from those user who do not have any information and details about this incident and circumstances. The presentation of views and words used is also very disappointing and against the reputation of Wikipedia users. This event caused a major loss that almost equal to the GDP of some countries. on wikipedia there are thousand of articles that do not have proper information or need to be published. (I am not interested to provide their list). Still for some users it is difficult to judge which article required Wikipedia status or not. I am not the against of this discussion but it should on neutral basis. Please help to improve this article or nothing to do with it.

Additional comment - Looking at the first AfD for this album, I don't know why this was not deleted. Defense of keeping the article was "IP addresses shouldn't be allowed to start AfD" and this gem, "The band is notable and the album having an article is good because all of Arthur Loves Plastic's other albums have articles as well. What could possibly make this album less notable than them?"

Sequel to your claim that "IP addresses shouldn't be allowed to start AfD", there is no Wikipedia policy which supports this treatment, since
IP edits are not anonymous and there are several long-term and constructive Wikipedia editors who edit solely under a fixed IP. The treatment of IP editors as second-class editors is unacceptable because
IPs are human too and
Not every IP is a vandal.

In terms of "sources", we have three links to Wikipedia and four to YouTube, which I think can be summarily dismissed. We then have
a dead link and two
functionallinks to the subject's official sites/business ventures, which again are dismissible. Finally, two other things:
A tabloid article; I think the headline speaks for itself: "Shocking scenes involving Antonia at the mall! The whole time, she held hands with a cute lad and let him fondle her behind!"
A blurb in the local Forbes; even if it sounds vaguely impressive, we should note that a) the same issue featured
nonentity (encyclopedically speaking) after
nonentity after
nonentity after
nonentity after
nonentity after
nonentity after
nonentity under the very same headline ("portrait of a trendsetter") - in other words, being part of this feature in no way suggests notability; and b) in any event, even if it did,
WP:BIO requires "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources", which we don't have. -

It's hard to judge the reliability of the publications here, but there are only a few that would remain after deleting the youtube and WP sources, and also the sources that do not mention the subject of the article (i.e. #13 "WorldRedEye"). Also, I seriously suspect that the article was created as a promotion; it has much promotional language; the professional-looking photo portrait was uploaded by the article's SPA and is listed as "own work;" said SPA deleted the first Speedy Delete tag from the article.

Merge content/redirect link to

Keep passes
WP:GNG, without even doing any searches the article currently contains four
reliable sources that offer significant coverage, and it's pretty common to have articles for planned skyscrapers that haven't been built yet. This is due to such a high-level of interest in skyscrapers that they normally do see significant coverage long before they are built. Disagree with merging to
Park Lane Hotel (Manhattan), as they are separate buildings that will have separate histories, even if they effect each other. Whether or not this new skyscraper is ultimately built doesn't matter as it constitutes
WP:CRYSTAL, and based off of what we currently know this passes the general notability guidelines as a planned skyscraper. -

Point taken about the Curbed and Real Deal sites using YIMBY as a source. However, YIMBY is not a blog, but a news site and can be considered a reliable source. New York Times is a reliable source, and both of those sites are offering significant coverage. However, a search does find other sources, such as
this one from Wall Street Journal. -
War wizard90 (
talk) 05:24, 28 May 2015 (UTC)reply
I think you need to take a closer look at those articles. The NYT article is completely about saving the Park Lane Hotel and who thinks what about the effort to save it. The only mention of anything to do with what will replace it is this sentence: "Those following the effort are fairly certain that it has a particular purpose: halting plans to replace the hotel with yet another cloud-buster overlooking Central Park." That's it. The WSJ is from two years ago and says the an agreement was made to sell the building but it hadn't been decided what was going to happen, if they were going to tear down the current building or just remodel it and make it bigger. And it says two important things: 1) if they tear it down, the zoning laws mean they only build something 2/3 of its current size (so not the fourth-tallest skyscraper in Manhattan) and 2) They can't close the hotel unless they work out a deal with the hotel union to keep the jobs by building a new hotel, or do some kind of other negotiation. The name "1 Park Lane" could be just a proposal, since it's not anywhere except
YIMBY, which based on its own article, doesn't seem too strong of a source. But fortunately AfDs stay open seven days, so if this is really happening, there will undoubtedly be better sources showing up soon.

Delete. Self-promotional page with no evidence of notability at all. In fact it might well have been speedily deleted under criterion

Delete and salt. No evidence of notability. No evidence of any Google hits at all other than this actor promoting himself in every possible venue. Salt because of the repeated attempts by this person to use Wikipedia to promote himself.

Delete - Multiple searches found absolutely nothing for this actor despite using the TV shows and IMDb only lists an assistant editor with this name.

Yes, that's true. I suppose I could delete it for that reason, but having commented in this discussion, perhaps to avoid any doubt it's better if I don't. Another administrator could do it, but the article is no doubt going to be deleted anyway, and whether it's done speedily or after a few more days really makes very little difference.

Sorry, but the content is completely different. Let me quote the intro to the deleted article: French Telemarketing is representing telemarketing company business in French. French telemarketing operates in various methods of Teleselling includes; inbound telemarketing, outbound telemarketing, B2B telemarketing and B2C telemarketing to identify business qualify leads and operates in different countries in additional to France, USA, Canada, Indonesia, and Belgium. Care to explain where you find that content in the current page? Meanwhile, I see nothing in the current page that appears in the deleted content. It's nowhere even close to a repost. Please observe that the
WP:CSD policy specifies that Administrators should take care not to speedy delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases; kindly stop abusing administrators who refuse to break the policy.

Now what do you mean? Whether it qualifies for speedy deletion is completely irrelevant to whether it should be deleted here. The point is that it didn't qualify to be deleted without discussion, not that it needed to be kept.
Nyttend (

Shawn in Montreal, I do not know were you're going WITHDRAWING; Wikipedia is being played. Maybe we're not on it for
CSD but I think there is a matter for addition to the guidelines not far from the question.
Nyttend, I wouldn't have wanted to come this near, it's just that I have the
Wright Brothers on my watchlist. There is a style problem with adding what I'd call "allusive internal links", such as, "the kid was helpful during the crisis", let's link to the crisis and we don't need rewriting for the link to make sense otherwise than allusive. Nyttend, if I remove: As a part of direct marketing, France telemarketing operates..., which is an abusive assumption; if I remove It operates in telecommunication service and respect to telemarketing rules and regulation under The French government, which is an abusive assumption, what we have is bare and simple crap. All that remains to the article supports itself with a ref claiming it observes a Do Not Call List. I think, that is shiny, and you're blinded. --

I'll just stay out of it, then. There are by my count three SPA editors creating a walled garden of related spam articles, as well as an IP in the Philippines. It's a bit like playing whack-a-mole if we don't start salting and blocking. I guess I felt like it's not being taken seriously enough but of course at any given moment there's a huge backload of similar garbage to deal with. Thanks,

Delete The references are generally about telemarketing in France, not about this particular company, although in some cases the company gets mentions. Oddly, the web site takes me to "Quebec Telemarketing" not to a company based in Paris. In any case, I don't see this passing
WP:CORP.
LaMona (

That's been my point, which I know I haven't expressed clearly enough: these are allWP:COAT articles to promote "Quebec Telemarketing". All of them. There's been about five now, by my count, using either France/French, Quebec or Montreal, with a variety of strategies to make it seem like these are bona fide articles about different things. They are not -- we're getting serially played here in an SEO gaming attempt. I should mention that I've started an SPI for all these SPA spammers at
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nopirosyadi, fwiw.

Delete and salt. This is at least the eighthtentheleventh twelfth article (still counting, because they keep creating them) about this company, created under half a dozen different titles by various socks. (For the list, see
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nopirosyadi.) IMO any article that even mentions Quebec Telemarketing (as this one does, see the "official website" link) should be deleted and salted on sight. --

No evidence this search engine/company satisfies GNG - there is only one source not directly related to the subject (yourstory.com), and it does not look particularly reliable.
