WP:BLP of a politician notable primarily as a municipal councillor in a township with a population of just 17K — and the fact that his young age made it necessary for his election to accompany a local referendum to lower the age of eligibility to hold office, while marginally interesting as a human interest footnote, is not enough to make him a topic of enduring encyclopedic interest. This is not a claim of notability that gets a person over WP:NPOL — a city, town or township councillor needs to either serve in a major metropolitan global city, or get over WP:GNG on the basis of a lot more press coverage than has been shown here.

  • Delete or Smerge to Ferguson Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. The referendum that made him eligible to serve, which passed 52% to 48%, could be a sentence in the township's political history. It's slightly interesting because he ran unopposed, illustrating the problem many small communities have: convincing anyone to run. Kudos to him for getting involved, but the coverage is too sparse to convincingly pass WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN.
Centre County Report is a student media outlet at Penn State. Aside from Business Insider, I only found one other piece from Penn State about a student agricultural competition that has a few sentences about him as a team member, and one other minor quote like the StateCollege.com piece. Further to nom's observations, Ward 3 is just one part of the township. He received 317 votes, and that may overstate his individual appeal, as voters had the option of voting a straight party ballot. Worldbruce ( talk) 07:13, 1 December 2015 (UTC) reply

If this were an older park, I would suspect that there might be more non-online coverage, but it closed in 2003, so I would expect more online coverage if it were notable.

PROD contested with the rationale that AFD would be more suitable based on him being Mark Twain's father. However, notability is not inherited, and being related to someone famous does not by itself make one notable.

  • Redirect to Mark Twain. Or merge to retain page history, but most if not all of the pertinent info here is already included there.

The law office of JMC, a justice of the peace and lawyer, is being PRESERVED AS A HISTORICAL MONUMENT. That gets me over the top for GNG — although there are probably a few more things out there if one wants to spend time to find them.
  • Keep- as a pass of GNG, based on the above. It is a fact that the judge was the father of Mark Twain and that this was his primary claim to historical fame. That is neither here nor there with regards to notability — neither an automatic keep nor an automatic disqualifier. The fact is that he is the subject of scholarly interest and coverage demonstrated in multiple instances of significant coverage in sources of presumed reliability, which is what we are looking for here. Carrite ( talk) 18:45, 29 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • The relevant notability criteria for biographies (which he fails to meet) is WP:Notability (people). There's more nuance than simply "is covered in reliable sources". Occupations not withstanding, he wasn't really noted for anything of his own merit beyond being Mark Twain's father. Snuggums ( talk / edits) 19:50, 29 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, though barely. I found precisely one reference to him in a search of the NY Times archive. There appear to be a few others that barely meet GNG, when WP:GOOGLETESTed, but clearly his main accomplishment was fathering Samuel Clemens. 05:54, 30 November 2015 (UTC) Fiachra10003 ( talk)

  • Comment Possible keep – The article states that the subject has competed in a K-1 event, which makes the subject presumed notable as per WP:NKICK. This is presently not sourced in the article, though, so it's still an unsourced BLP.
@ PRehse, Mdtemp, and Papaursa: Note that the shortcut WP:KICK presently links to Wikipedia:WikiProject Martial arts/Kickboxing task force, which is not a notability guideline/essay, etc. It's a task force page.

WP:NKICK and WP:KICK are identical when it comes to fighter notability. When WP:NKICK was created, it was copied directly from WP:KICK.

The article is unambiguous advertisement. My request for speedy deletion was granted, although the article was restored when one contributor provided the following reasons: "The article exists for 10 years, addresses a technology used by an open source/commercial community of 25.000 users, won several awards".

  • @ Codename Lisa: looks like there was originally a GPL'd edition; see this Channel 9 post. The article used to say something similar: "After 6 years of open source development, the project added a closed source, proprietary license in 2011, aiming business and academic developers at the same time." QVVERTYVS ( hm?) 14:39, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • @ Codename Lisa: It is the same software. You can find out easily by reading the content of the referenced article. ILNumerics were developed and published under open source license several years. This is (and will always be) available still - free of charge. See the references to nuget in the reworked version of the article. Thanks Numbers303 ( talk) 14:42, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Thanks Codename Lisa for bringing up the issue! The article indeed sounded a little advertising before. However, it would have been obvious by little research that a deletion would at least be controversal. Also, it is better to give the chance for improvement and discussion before considering speedy deletion. I appreciate your effort in helping to keep WP clean and in trying to be effective.

The arguments pointing to commercial nature are dubious at best as the piece of firmware, trackingware and trojanware most of the skeptics, and myself too, carry is commercial in nature too and described on WP.

  • Keep as the nomination reason (advertising) has been removed.
    • Disclaimer: I created this article in 2008. I also started the ILNumerics project and also participated in the founding of the related company in 2013. So I am biased, obviously.
    • Commercial: The fact, that a commercial entity is now supporting the project is not a reason to bann a topic from WP. (I do understand if some are angry for not receiving the same support for the free version anymore, though. But I don’t assume it relates to the topic here ...)
    • Advertising: if there was any in the article it has been completely removed. Btw: we did not edit the page for ages. We don’t see WP as marketing platform and will not change this perspective. Its less than 1% of our visitors coming from WP, btw.
    • Notability: WP:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) From the guide: „Notable means ...[that the] product has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product.“ This applies to all of: article [4] on MSDN, another one [5] by Scott Hanselman, ILNumerics was the cover story( WP:AUD) [6] of the DOT.NET Magazin [7] 02/08, several reviews [8] [9] [10] [11] [12], and there has been this award (10k EUR, best of DACH area) [13]. Download numbers of the GPL version mirrors as posted by Numbers303 are verifiable on their respective (reliable, unrelated) sites. Together with codeplex [14] and sourceforge [15] they sum up to ~10k something. (Internal numbers are not publicly verifiable, hence not counted here.)
    • Nomination proccess: Both, the speedy deletion request and the speedy deletion itself are questionable here. See the proposed procedure WP:ARTSPAM: „Blatant examples of advertising masquerading as articles can be speedily deleted.... Before trying to get an advertisement masquerading as an article deleted, please check the article's history to see if an acceptable revision exists there. If so, please revert to the latest acceptable version of the article.“ (There must be one from the past 7 years since its creation?) From WP:corp:
      • "Clean up per Wikipedia:NPOV,
      • Erase remaining advertising content from the article,
      • Delete the article by listing it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion if no notable content remains." But after removing any pot. promotional content [16] clearly notable content remains. So a deletion is not justified. Phonologue ( talk) 20:24, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Exclusively primary-sourced article about the gameplay schedule of the football team at Holy Cross High School (Pennsylvania). Don't be fooled by the bluelink to Holy Cross Crusaders football in the infobox; that article leads to an unrelated team at the collegiate NCAA level, which happens to have the same name but is attached to an entirely different institution which isn't even located in the same state as this high school is. (There's actually been an ongoing reversion war over this article's erroneous inclusion in the NCAA team's categories — but it rightly doesn't belong in those, because it doesn't pertain to that team.) While we do accept articles like this for collegiate and professional sports, we do not have any established consensus to accept them for every high school that happens to have sports teams. Delete.

As it currently sits, this BLP is largely a positive spin on negative news re:Subject. This BLP's content,discussion and edit wars relate to only 4 things:1: Subject's tangential relation to her boss, Hillary Clinton 2: Subject's tangential relation to her husband Anthony Weiner 3: A letter written by 5 Republican Congressmen related to Subject's alleged familial ties to the Muslim Brotherhood which most editors here wish to dismiss and diminish as a smear and "conspiracy theory". 4: Abedin's emails made public as a result of Judicial Watch's FOIA request regarding Subject's emails on Clinton's computer which most editors here feel are non-notable. Rather than have a BLP which is skewed away from "anything negative" about the Subject, I think Wikipedia and our Readers are better served by not having a BLP on this Subject at all. On the other hand, other, perhaps most, Editors here, are not and have not been adding any content at all, just reverting content added by a few of us, thus the BLP is too brief and shallow to qualify for inclusion.

  • Speedy keep, SNOW Close, and possibly sanction this user. The subject of the article is notable by a mile, and the nominator knows it. AfD is not the place to address perceived article bias, or the conservative editors' complaints that additions of tangential material that may be negative towards Hillary Clinton is being reverted by those of us who are trying to keep this from becoming the "Conservapedia" version of what this article should be. User is WP:POINTY, disrupting Wikipedia to push their conservative POV. Discussion on the article's talk page hasn't gotten us far, hence this. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 18:58, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete A review of the BLP will show nothing individually notable is within it. Just some references to her relationships with her boss and husband as well as references to what most editors feel to be conspiracy theories from politically biased sources.

I am not a conservative editor...see my Oct. 21st edits re: Lynton Crosby and have never claimed anything about Hillary Clinton re: this BLP. The edit above, however, is a great example of the attack posture and "conservative cabal" paranoia. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 19:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
The subject of this article has sufficient non-routine coverage in reliable sources, establishing notability. Your deletion "rationale" is about things that aren't in this article that you think should be (which are all being pumped up by conservative media, as it so happens). Your problems with this article have nothing to do with subject notability and AfD is a highly inappropriate step for you to have taken. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 19:44, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Absolutely wrong, in my view. The wording is not "sufficient" it is "significant" and that is not the case with Abedin. Also, your lack of AGF is extreme and your continuing reference to conservatives has nothing to do with my editing and in fact I take offense to that allegation which you have made repeatedly about pushing a conservative POV, you are extremely disruptive and maybe just too accusatory to be editing or even discussing edits. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:32, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Please assume good faith. I have no point to make, I am trying to help deal with a currently silly BLP about a non-notable person. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:36, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Strong Keep This is a textbook example of a notable figure. I can't see how this person doesn't meet WP:GNG. As for the argument that the BLP is "too brief", this article is much more in depth then a lot of other BLP on Wikipedia. Wildthing61476 ( talk) 19:38, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete It's not unbiased, and should be removed unless it can be unbiased since many people will be referencing it. As said above: a review of the BLP will show nothing individually notable is within it. It's largely a positive spin about many negative issues written by supporters of her and the campaign. hyperduc ( talk) 20:23, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Even if your allegations were well founded, your main point would be no reason to delete the article: see WP:SUSCEPTIBLE. -- Hoary ( talk) 01:11, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Hoary, you reference an essay, which is not policy. Please see the top of the page you link to, i.e. "Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints." Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:38, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Good. It is indeed an essay, and an essay may only represent a minority viewpoint; thus it is imaginable that this part of this essay represents a minority viewpoint. However, I doubt that it does. Well, the list of policy reasons for deletion is here. It's a list, prefaced with: "Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following". So you may wish to add to the list "Articles whose content cannot be freed from bias". But then you'll have to argue convincingly that this is a reason for deletion and that the article cannot be freed from bias. I think you'll find this very difficult. -- Hoary ( talk) 08:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Thank you, The reasons for deletion include #8:Notability, which I think applies and also 9. "Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons" which I think also applies as our BLP policy provides that #Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page.[1] Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies: 1: Neutral point of view" . I feel the BLP does not adhere to the NPOV requirement, thus is in breach Of Wikipedia's policy on BLP, thus, as shown above, fits with #9 reason for deletion. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 20:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Obviously notable, in the Wikipedia sense of the word; possibly also notable in the real-world sense of the word. And an article here can be helpful: A look in Google Books shows an obsession with Abedin among fringe writers; a WP article can provide a sane version. -- Hoary ( talk) 01:14, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment At Notability for People there is a set of qualifications, none of which Abedin meets; i.e."For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note" – that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. "Notable" in the sense of being "famous" or "popular" – although not irrelevant – is secondary."
In addition, under "basic criteria", we have: "trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." which also fits with the coverage of this glorified secretary and wife of a scandalized husband. I have been asking on the talk page for one example of anything notable Abedin has ever done, and no one has come up with even one example. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:10, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: The questions of notability and biased editing aside for the moment --- perhaps a principal reason for not deleting this entry would be consideration of the interests of non-editor Wikipedia readers and users.
    Certainly, as the 2016 election campaign proceeds, the negative attack ad efforts of the opposing sides will crank up, especially as we move into the general election cycle. As pertains to the subject of this bio., and given the possibility that her boss may likely be the nominee --- all of the various allegations regarding Abedin will predictably resurface in (at least the conservative) media:
  • her dual employment status while at the State Dept.;
  • her State Dept. maternity leave situation;
  • her alleged excessive travel cost reimbursements;
  • her use of the Clinton's non-government, private email server;
  • the whole matter of her husband's sexting scandals;
  • allegations suggesting a lesbian-lover relationship with Clinton;
  • her childhood and youth growing up in Saudi Arabia;
  • allegations of her family's ties with the Muslim Brotherhood;
etc., etc.
Any renewed media coverage of such topics will undoubtedly result in Wikipedia readers searching on her name. Consequently, it would seem advisable that consideration be given, during this discussion on proposed deletion, to factoring in the question of how and where ' Huma Abedin ' searches would then be redirected, if this article were in fact to be deleted. --- Professor JR ( talk) 09:18, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
I think it is inappropriate for this list of unsourced allegations to appear in an AfD discussion. Surely it's a violation of WP:BLP? -- Scjessey ( talk) 15:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep per the first response. Abedin is internationally notable in a heartbeat, and it isn't out of ignorance of the sources that this got nominated. This is a WP:POINT violation fair and square. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 09:58, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

      • Read again, User:Muboshgu, and you will note that I am not, in fact, making an 'argument' for their deletion, and of course every article should be considered on its own merits --- I was merely noting the point I made as possibly of interest to editors vis-à-vis this discussion, for whatever it's worth. Really, none of the subjects of the other articles are as notable as Abedin, by Wiki standards, with the possible exception of Podesta(?) and Palmieri(?) As for myself, I would support that we Keep the Adedin article. --- Professor JR ( talk) 20:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I have looked through the sources that are currently in the article. There are multiple sources that provide significant coverage of her that meets the intent of the general notability guideline. I do not see any reason to delete this article, it might need work to clean it up but deletion is not the solution. --  GB  fan 12:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

    • You mean aside from her status as Hillary's right-hand making her a lightning rod? –  Muboshgu ( talk) 15:55, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. Both the nomination and the other delete !vote are basing their rationale on the article being "largely a positive spin" - but, if that were the case, that would be an editing issue, not a deletion issue. As such, no reasons for deletion have been provided by anyone. I also cannot help by observe that it's odd that the nomination includes, in the same paragraph, both a claim that the subject of the article is not notable and a complaint that other editors keep removing content that they are adding to the article. Why would one keep trying to add content to an article about someone they personally don't think is notable? Egsan Bacon ( talk) 19:55, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Very fair comment, but hard to explain.Initially I thought she was notable because of all the press coverage of Michelle Bachmann et.al's rather worrisome accusations that somehow Abedin had gotten into a sensitive government position without being properly vetted. And then the recently made public (by court order) Abedin email wherein she says that Clinton is "often confused" I also think is notable for several reasons. However, since the first issue is being presented in the BLP as a "conspiracy theory"..which is weirdly strawmanish, imo...and the second issue has not been allowed into the BLP at all, we are left with content which I feel makes the BLP non-notable and in breach of our BLP NPOV policy. These 2 results, non-notability and Breach of BLP-NPOV policy are each reasons for deletion; i.e. reasons number 8 and 9. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 21:43, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
I'm sorry, but that just seems ridiculous to me. While it is true that Abedin is mostly notable through her associations with others, there are many articles in the mainstream media covering the woman herself, her background and her career. If we can have articles on barely notable chiefs of staff like Barry Steven Jackson, we can certainly have one on the internationally known Huma Abedin. -- Scjessey ( talk) 22:07, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
OK that addresses the notability reason for deletion but what about reason number 9, i.e. Breach of BLP-NPOV policy? Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:32, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
How about it, indeed? Here is the policy. How is it being breached, or in clear risk of being breached, so egregiously and with such determination that rational discussion, and any of a number of administrative possibilities (up to full protection), are not or will not be adequate, so that the article is better deleted? (And would you like salt with that?) -- Hoary ( talk) 09:09, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
salt looks interesting. I did not know about that. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:19, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Here is the most recent Reliable Sourced content which is not being allowed into the BLP. Professor J.R. and I both tried to add it in a small way yet it was immediately removed. This is just one of many examples of the BLP not being allowed to be NPOV. This is the way it seems to me. Actually, I read the entire BLP last night and it has improved dramatically since I started to edit it :) just kiding...but really, should not this new email content about Clinton being "often confused" in the view of Abedin bein the BLP since its being so widely reported by RSs? Maybe I'm Wrong about this? It looks like I will just have to accept the current editing condition of thus BLP. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 17:25, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
If we report everything based on being in sources, this would be Kardashianopedia. Policies exist to keep stuff like this from becoming a POV-farm, and AfD is not the place to be hashing this out. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:31, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
( edit conflict) This is not the place to discuss a content dispute. The article talk page is the appropriate place. That said, most of the sources talking about the "confused" email are from the right wing media echo chamber. The story bounced around there for about 24 hours then vanished. Per WP:WEIGHT, it does not belong in the Huma Abedin article as it is not a significant event in that person's biography. Or in Hillary Clinton's, for that matter. -- Scjessey ( talk) 17:34, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
This AfD began and has continued as a content dispute, which is why I asked for it to be SNOW closed in the first comment. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 17:51, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Yes. I couldn't agree more. -- Scjessey ( talk) 17:53, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
The Hill, The Daily Mail, etc. are not right wing echos. Your arguments about content dispute is specious because our policy includes a breach of NPOV in a BLP as 1 of the justifications for deletion, and NPOV is all about content or the lack thereof. Btw, if you are not interested in this discussion or it is a non valid nomination, why do you try so hard to influence it? Nocturnalnow ( talk) 21:42, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
The Hill is generally neutral, but The Daily Mail is a pretty awful right-wing rag. But like I said, this is not the place for a content dispute. -- Scjessey ( talk) 23:41, 25 November 2015 (UTC) reply
And consensus is against you on adding these things, so there is no "breach" of NPOV on this article. Moving on. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 20:32, 26 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Flawed equation , Just because consensus is against myself, Professor J.R. and D.Creish in some instances does not mean the BLP is NPOV. Consensus and NPOV are not synonymous. The beauty of Wikipedia is anyone can read the BLP and judge for themselves whether there is too much weight and puffery re: Subject's parents in the Early Years section, and too much weight to the media pile-on Bachmann in the Responses to allegations section. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 05:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply
And those two issues are sufficient reason to nominate an article for deletion? –  Muboshgu ( talk) 16:40, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Absolutely. And it makes perfect sense that Wikipedia should only contain good articles, especially BLPs. Here is how we get from the 2 issues to nomination for deletion: Step 1: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion says "Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons" Step 2: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons says "material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to ... to Wikipedia's three core content policies: #1 Neutral point of view (NPOV)" Nocturnalnow ( talk) 22:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply
There's no "breach" here. There's a content dispute that should've been handled on the talk page. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 20:15, 28 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Hashtag campaigns aren´t significant enought to warrant an article, the article itself is very subjective, repeats itself alot, uses emotionally loaded language, treats unverified and/or unverifieable claims as self-evident, uses biased sources using loaded language themselves, infringes WP:NOTSCANDAL and WP:SOAP, uses loaded quotes from random people who have no relevance to the subject or the sentence in any way, infringes the victimisation and accusation guideline of biographic articles, isn´t consistent if it describes the gamergate movement or the controversy of accusations to members of said movement and generally is written very subjectively. Due to the controversity and unverificablity of accusations to the movement and the constant misuse of the article as a political battleground by activists, there isn´t really any hope that this article would stay decent even if somebody managed to somehow get this mess of an article in control.

  • Reply I have one of the higher "keep" percentages at AfD. Mainly because I tend to be on the lookout in favour of those who are actually notable. (45% Keep, 44% Delete, 8% Merge or Redirect, 3% Userfy) An appearance on Fox News, if it were sufficient to prove notability, would double the size of Wikipedia <g>.

  • If Wikipedia seems set against artist bios, it's because they're so often promotional and/or autobiographical. Wikipedia doesn't need to be a directory of every person who's ever been involved in making a movie or had their art displayed in a gallery. That said, can you show how this passes WP:ARTIST?

(Not to mention that they are the ones most likely to hire someone to write their Wikipedia page.)

No, based on the material provided, this person is not "regarded as an important figure...". If he were there would be references talking about him and saying why/how he is important/influential. Since there are not, and we have enough references mentioning his name which would discuss him in greater depth if he were important or influential, we can safely say he is not. Q.E.D.

  • Delete - I went through the sources and found lots of biographical ephemera, but little substance. They consist largely of cruft (directory entries, photographs and the like) or passing mentions of varying credibility (from blogs to local news reports). One thing is sure: the "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" demanded by WP:BASIC isn't there. - Biruitorul Talk 17:49, 26 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Using the word cruft is a huge insult to the creator of this article and should never be used within the context of any AfD! Also, the only sure thing about Wikipedia, is it is unsure of absolutely everything!!! WP:IAR -- MurderByDeadcopy "bang!" 20:21, 26 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Testimonials as to the usefulness of CSA would be inappropriate; inclusion in Wikipedia is not based upon the quality of the item being discussed. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 19:59, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

OK, What I should do? -- Yoram Bucks ( talk) 20:05, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

You may want to read Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. The discussion here is apt to hinge on whether CSA is notable technology; our basic guideline to notability should let you know basically what "notability" means in a Wikipedia context. Arguments to keep the article are likely to be more successful if they address the concerns there and, to the extent possibly, are stated in terms of Wikipedia policy. Meanwhile, if you have a personal connection to the technology (if you are, say, an inventor of it or someone who stands to profit from its success, or are directly related to such a person), reviewing our guide on appropriate dealings with conflicts of interest on Wikipedia would also be appropriate. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 20:14, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

OK Thanks, I am the inventor of CSA. I will read the articles very carefully and response. -- Yoram Bucks ( talk) 21:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

I read the articles. I don't think CSA has a problem of notability; I just need a fair change to present the evidences. I recommend it will be verified by Israeli related editor that knows the organizations here.

Regarding the Conflict of interest (COI) I admit I didn't think about it but after reading I perfectly understand and agree with the issue. I suggest that I will not edit the article any more, I will ask someone from Bar-Ilan university to take control without payment, and I also promise to contribute from of my knowledge soon and write new articles without COI. -- Yoram Bucks ( talk) 21:48, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

It isn't a testimony and it has nothing to do with quality. The writer is a retired IBM employee. He has no interest besides the willing to help. He didn’t know CSA before. He voluntarily agreed to be an editor here and verify CSA notability. (-- Yoram Bucks ( talk) 15:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)) reply
Yes, and he is reporting the personal testimonies of the students. This is not media coverage, this is not sign of widespread influence, and it's not verifiable.

I understand that, but don't you think that Google, Bar-Ilan University and others did a real in-depth check before relying on that tech.

Local charitable organization that fails the notability criteria of WP:ORG. Kelly hi! 21:12, 8 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Part of series of flawed Canadian charity group nominations from this editor. In a number of Afds, I see the recurring meme that these are "local" organizations. In what sense is NASHI local? It's based in Saskatchewan, Canada -- all things must be based somewhere -- to helps girls and oppose human trafficking in Ukraine. Is it "local" because it's not American -- is that the intended perjorative, here?

  • Comment Only two of the nine sources load for me. If the rest are as flimsy as those, there's a legit problem with the notability of the article, regardless of who created it. Judging by the titles, several sources are routine event listings which aren't really great for this sort of thing. The local nature of the sources is also a bad sign. Searching for fresh sources, I found nothing. The name is also used by an unrelated Russian nationalist group of some kind, but that's fairly easy to filter out. Grayfell ( talk) 08:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Sources are a bit of a shambles here. That might require some cleanup before notability can be judged.-- Elmidae 08:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply
The first one is frustrating, since it's a cached overview of a local radio clip. The second one is already in the article, and seems very flimsy. The third is useful, but it's an interview with a person affiliated with NASHI discussing human trafficking in Canada, not independent coverage of NASHI. Being active outside of Canada does make this technically an International org per WP:NGO, but the sources are so thin that more coverage of the actual scope would be helpful to get this away from being a technically/barely situation. A conference attended by 900 people is pretty small in scope. Grayfell ( talk) 09:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Yes but the abstract on the CBC interview leaves no doubt that it meets the standard for a reliable source: "Sheila sat down with The Morning Edition's Madeline Kotzer to talk about the work Saskatoon group Nashi is doing in the Ukraine to fight the trafficking of children for sex." Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 14:11, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply
It's a reliable source, but not for notability. -- Calton | Talk 16:16, 9 November 2015 (UTC) reply
You have it [sort of] backwards. Of course a published/broadcast interview conducted by and published/broadcast by a reliable source counts towards notability, so long as it's not conducted by and/or published/broadcast by the subject or someone with a direct connection to the subject. An interview of the subject by a reliable source is coverage of the subject. That's precisely what we need for notability. But apart from notability, because an article subject's own words are a primary source, interviews run into WP:RS problems for all the reasons at WP:PRIMARY. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Since when was a church newsletter sufficient to pass WP:GNG, as per the previous keep? The keep vote before points out that the sources cited don't even support each other. All of these references are hyperlocal, and that the author felt they needed to include a couple of sentences about a "45-minute event" they ran years ago strongly points to failing our notability criteria rather dismally. The Drover's Wife ( talk) 01:49, 14 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • @ The Drover's Wife: I see you took exactly 3 minutes since your previous AfD !vote to look at the article, conduct a thorough search for sources, evaluate other people's arguments, make a judgment about notability, and type up this wholesale dismissal. You say "since when was a church newsletter sufficient to pass WP:GNG, as per the previous keep?", as though I didn't also include a whole bunch of other sources and reference links mentioned elsewhere. Also, even dismissing that single source as "a church newsletter" sounds like you're talking about some small town church-in-a-barn. L'Osservatore Romano is a church newsletter, too. The Orthodox Church would not, of course, have the readership of the Vatican's publication, but it's not "hyperlocal" -- it's the national church publication. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:38, 14 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Your newspaper source is about an unrelated author, with a very brief, passing mention that she donated to the organisation once. The church newsletter still doesn't meet the bar of a reliable source to establish notability. That you're having to grasp at such desperate straws makes the case for deletion in itself.

  • Comment The sources are defeating me. All the Saskatoonhomepage links are broken and apparently unrepairable, since that site has no search functionality. Of the other 5 refs, only 2 work, and I can't rustle up working links for the others. Currently would argue for Delete based on absence of verifiable sources, unless some enterprising editor can solve this quickly - if all these were accessible, Keep would seem justified.-- Elmidae 10:27, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • @ Elmidae: Sources you cannot access are still valid sources ( WP:SOURCEACCESS), and the current state of the article and the sources aren't relevant to AfDs based on notability. All that matters is that the sources exist somewhere, even if you can't access them. There's some necessary gray area and exceptions sometimes, but in general a citation to a broken URL is more or less the same as if the article creator used offline sources that are not verifiable online. As long as there's not a compelling reason to believe the sources don't exist (that they're made up), that is. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
I agree that the sources are unlikely to be made up, and thus one might treat them as 'offline' for practical purposes (a generous interpretation of WP:SOURCEACCESS). The problem is that there's no way to check whether these sources do establish notability, i.e. constitute substantial treatment by third parties etc., or are just passing mentions or in-house press statements. That doesn't normally come up with bona fide offline sources, but it's a distinct possibility with these. IMO if sources of such uncertain pedigree can't be accessed and assessed, they may as well be absent, and don't help in establishing notability.-- Elmidae 16:59, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

I note that the plot of this appears to be similar to the plot of Girl vs. Monster, for which the editor has also written fanfiction. I believe that this could probably be speedied as something that someone came up with WP:ONEDAY, mixed with a tinge of WP:A7 since I have to assume that this may just be more fanfiction.

I can't quite see that this bakery is notable. There are secondary sources in the article, but the first two are short newspaper/blog articles, really just notices, and the third one is a brief mention in an article describing a road trip. The first source is pretty good but as I said it's short, and I just don't see that WP:CORPDEPTH is met. I have looked for more sources per WP:BEFORE but although there are many Google hits, all of them are business listings, review websites, and press releases - nothing independent at all. bonadea contributions talk 10:53, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

I have a feeling that this article might be just to promote the bakery itself. If anyone wanted to know about the bakery, they could just look at the few sources that do exist. The article is also poorly written and very hard to improve without copying sources directly. This needs to be notable and recognised as something important. wikipedia is not a list of businesses or an advertising platform. I know this may all sound A little to harsh and maybe I am biting too hard, but this should be deleted. Happy_Attack_Dog ( Throw Me a Bone) 14:25, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't agree that it is badly or promotionally written - the only issue I have with it is the notability question. The article is more than six years old, and a lot has happened with notability criteria in that time. -- bonadea contributions talk 16:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

All of those seem to be mentions of the bakery in articles about e.g. places to eat, or places to visit, or about the town of Bishop, rather than articles about the bakery itself. ("Seem to be" because some of it is behind paywalls so I have to go by what I can see.) Maybe there's enough such brief mentions so as to make up for the lack of in-depth articles? -- bonadea contributions talk 16:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Personally I find this notion that "reviews" are somehow not evidence of notability pretty ridiculous. To me it is obvious that if a journalist has noted this as a place to visit, it is by definition notable by a secondary source. Yes, it is different if this is just written on a blog or imported from a press release, but if this is in a proper media publication with proper editing policies, that seems to me to be an independent secondary source. JMWt ( talk) 21:38, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Absolutely. But if you have a text with very brief reviews (a couple of sentences) of ten or fifteen different places, it's a bit borderline in my opinion. -- bonadea contributions talk 22:24, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

This is a non-notable politician, whose only elected office is a local library board, the Buena Park Library District.

He is a perennial candidate, losing bids for Laguna Beach School Board in 2000, Irvine School Board in 2004, US Senate in 2010, Buena Park City Council in 2012 and 2014, and for United States Congress in 2014 (winning just 2.6% of the vote in a four-way race [12]).

The sources cited consist of a one-off interview on Fox News, the Buena Park Library District, a copy of a patent he holds, two private business web sites that don't mention him, his campaign web site and campaign YouTube, his business's web site, and generic listings of candidates.

  • Delete – No, a board member of a library that serves a population of 80,000 is not notable. And on top of it all, the article is painfully promotional (e.g, " Al Salehi represents a new generation of liberally minded, fiscally conservative non-partisan leaders.

  • Neither "library board" nor "unsuccessful candidate for Congress" is a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia, and nothing else here is any stronger — and, as per the nominator, the sourcing here relies too strongly on primary sources and namechecks of his existence, and thus the article is not sourced well enough to claim WP:GNG.

Of two minds here: I think there is probably enough independent media coverage to meet notability, but probably not enough to write a page that contains any useful information beyond the fact that it exists and some people like it. For that, I think there would need to be an extended researched media article about the history, ownership etc of the store to reference, together (maybe) with information about turnover from publicly available records etc. It might then be a useful page to someone looking for additional encyclopedic information about the shop, but at the moment, I'm struggling to see any value in the page at all, so am leaning towards delete.

tending to agree that this seems to be of local interest, but is that really a sensible criteria?

JMWt ( talk) 09:19, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply
WP:NCOMPANY suggests that for companies, the answer is once it generates coverage that's at least regional if not national.

I'm seeing several news sources about him and he does host his own show on BBC. But the sources cited are all poor or primary, in-text citations lacking, and the prose mostly constitutes a resume-like list of positions. Unfortunately, almost all of the sources I'm seeing are about controversial comments, criticism, apologies, etc. such that it's clear that not only is the current article quite inadequate and, perhaps, undue, but that to write a good article would be tricky and more or less require starting over.

@ FreeatlastChitchat what makes you think this article was ever submitted to AFC? The empty move log proves that it was created directly in mainspace and not through AFC.

  • Delete - a ziyaret is just a Muslim holy site that people visit. There are probably tens of thousands of them, maybe hundreds of thousands, many of them unofficial or local in nature. There is no source that lists them all, or even those in a single country. A tree with the local tradition that someone holy was buried under it and which has some votive rags tied to it could count as a ziyaret. So any "list" will be unworkable if accurate, OR and probably POV if selective. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 01:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep encyclopedic as much so as the contents of Category:Pilgrimage churches and Category:Pilgrim Centres and its contents. The article needs work, of course, but its encyclopedic worthiness is obvious. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 19:19, 18 November 2015 (UTC) reply
You are thinking that ziyarat is synonymous with a pilgrimage site, but that is not so. A ziyarat does not need any "notability"(lets use this word for the lack of a better) like a pilgrimage site does. For example a site is considered a pilgrimage site if something important happened there or someone important went/lived/died/is buried there. This is not the case with ziyarats. A simple tree outside a town in Pakistan/India/bangladesh/Africa will become a ziyarat site as soon as the first villager hangs a rag on it and says "Ooh loookey, this here tree is a good tree". So comparing the two is like comparing oranges with mangoes. Perhaps you can peruse Wikipedia:Other stuff exists in your spare time. Ty. Regards FreeatlastChitchat ( talk) 03:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Not true, any item can be in Christian pilgrimage sites, as they are. All you need is someone to yell "I saw Mary" and suddenly the floodgates of pilgrims and money show up. Your citation to "Other stuff exists" is similarly inapt. If the article needs to be purged of what you call non-notable rags on trees, in your spare time purge it - and if you are worried about "other stuff" purge all the lists of pilgrimage sites to remove redlinks, non-notable places, etc. unless you're only targeting one set of beliefs. The proof is in your actions/inactions. Carlossuarez46 ( talk)
"...the article needs to be purged of what you call non-notable rags on trees". You have just confirmed my delete point. Such "purging" would be OR and not nPOV. A tree with rags on it can be a ziyaret. (NB., I'm using the ziyaret spelling because that is the variant I know). Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 15:30, 20 November 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Carlossuarez46 "I saw Mary" has christian connotation so you are basically agreeing with me here. A person can say that they saw Mary and the site will become a holy site due to its relation with Islam. However the same is not true with these so called ziyarat sites. People don't have to say "Oh this site is connected to Islam or religion so it is holy". they can just arbitrarily choose a site and then say that it is holy. therefore we cannot keep a record of all of them. Regards FreeatlastChitchat ( talk) 10:05, 22 November 2015 (UTC) reply
That is not correct. The vast majority of locations listed in the article have no references and no supporting Wikipedia articles. The most important sites will have lots of articles/sources, but that will be as individual sites, not as a collective "List of ziyarats". Isn't there a requirement that to be included in a Wikipedia list article, there has to be either an individual suitable reference for the thing included or an associated Wikipedia article on it? Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 15:43, 20 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Not particularly similar. It has the word "notable", "pilgrimage sites" is something specific and not a thing with as loose a term as ziyaret, and about 95% of places in that list have Wikipedia articles that support their inclusion in the list.

  •  Comment:. There are similar AfDs going on, in particular Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Shia Muslims. My bottom line there is that these merely navigational lists indeed fail WP:GNG, but the extentsive use of such lists may require community-wide consensus (or at least clear guidelines) that said lists are undesirable. - HyperGaruda ( talk) 15:04, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply
List of ziyarat locations is not a usable navigational list since the vast majority of sites mentioned do not have Wikipedia articles, and many of the wikilinks that are in the list actually link to towns in which the ziyarats are located, or are about persons or organisations. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 20:45, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply
List has been largely cleaned up now (maybe I should've also removed the link-less entries with additional but unsourced information). Apparently I'm not the first to do such a thing. This article used to be almost 70 kb until MezzoMezzo unleashed a deletion storm in August 2013 and left 9 kb worth of material. - HyperGaruda ( talk) 22:35, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Keep as long it is to linked valid referenced articles - the subject is valid, the list is valid, and however disparaging some of the comments in this afd might be, ziyarat or ziarah is a valid topic, and the list to valid articles is still good. It is clear that there have been massive additions, and massive deletions. It should be on the record, that where a valid ziarah/pilgrimage site exists, there is a well referenced article that identifies it as such, that there should be no impediment to having a list. The problem with this list is low level english eds think its a great place to add their local site, which has no linked article. Ziarah as a practice is something which excites the passions, and also fervour, and the life of this list seems to strangely reflect the two sides of pro and anti ziarah populations. JarrahTree 23:34, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:V, as there are no reliable sources indicating that these are indeed ziyarat locations. There are no references in the list, and several entries chosen at random do not mention (let alone with sources) any ziyarat status. The comparisons with Christian pilgrimage sites are beside the point, because lists of these need sources just as much as this list, and should be nominated for deletion if they don't have any.  Sandstein  19:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep or incubate: Considering the list looking quite notable, it needs to be drafted as there are insufficient reliable sources. Otherwise, it could be kept by carrying out a major cleanup plus citing reliable sources. Vincent60030 ( talk) 07:39, 4 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Page does not depict a notable and unique technology. It is not about a variety of wireless power transfer, as the title might imply. It is about regular charging, but the wires instead terminate in the shape of a pad instead of a plug.

Comment: I'm not sure that Wireless power is a suitable target, given that conductive charging does not make use of any form of electromagnetic ("wireless") transmission of power. Instead, it is just a matter of design of a safe form of conductor pad which connects without a plug or socket - Plugless power or Plugless charging would be the subject. Since those targets don't exist, it may be best to leave the article where it is; or perhaps to rename it, but we don't need AfD for that. The article is cited, the topic does exist and the technical problem is not without interest, so the need to have it at AfD at all does seem rather doubtful. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 16:05, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Chiswick Chap: I'm not sure I follow. Both this article and wireless power about charging a device without wires between the [e.g. phone] and the [charging station/mechanism]. Why is "plugless" more accurate than "wireless"? I don't think anybody means there aren't wires involved somewhere -- just that the [phone] and [charger] don't have to be connected via wire. I don't think anybody disputes the topic exists -- it's just much less popular than inductive [wireless] charging and looks to be something that could be encompassed by the wireless power article. But if I'm misunderstanding something I would, of course, be content to change my !vote. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:30, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Gosh, the term "wireless" used long ago to mean "radio", as opposed to wired (telephone/telegraph). Sorry if that is too dinosaur to be comprehensible. Since the charging pad makes actual electrical contact, the electrons flow the usual way from mains to device, without any transmission and reception of radio waves. The inductive devices, on the other hand, work at a (short) distance through air or plastic. Hope that is clear, the difference is in fact simple and sharp.

Most of the current sources used in this article really do not establish Anime Conji's notability.

  1. ANN: Solve the Mystery of Danganronpa at Anime Conji - This is the only source that might make the convention notable from the current list.

After researching, here is what I could find towards Anime Conji's notability.

  1. The San Diego Union-Tribune: Anime lovers only - Anime Conji celebrates Japanese animation and manga - Reads like a press release.
  2. Cinefantastique Online: Anime Conji 2011: It’s back, and this time it’s inter- and intra-personal - Possibly establishes notability.
  3. ANN - Anime Expo 2012 - The Future of Anime Expo panel - Briefly talks about Conji after the Anime Expo takeover.
  4. Los Angeles Magazine: Get Your Con on This Weekend - Mentions convention, talks about events being held.

I am bringing this article to AFD, as I am not sure even with the additional sources, this is notable enough. I could not find any extensive TV or Newspaper coverage, or aside from Anime News Network any extensive anime industry coverage. Esw01407 ( talk) 19:50, 8 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep - This convention features several notable guests every year. That alone could make this convention notable. FiendYT ( talk) 20:07, 8 November 2015 (UTC) reply
I'm not convinced by that argument, guests will turn up if you pay their fare, room and perhaps other costs and will be looking to increase their exposure and market themselves at the cons expense. For example the first Hyper Japan had a generic voice acting idol group turn up but it was purely a business trip for them - they used the chance to do a photoshoot in London and and spread the word about their show. Guests alone won't make a con notable unless they attract the very cream of the crop, and even then it's a marketing exercise and question of funds rather than the importance of the con itself. The biggest cons will attract bigger guests but again, big show means big marketing exposure. The statement is also meaningless without a guest list and the guests mentioned in the articles linked are not big enough to make a difference. Additionally as the creator of the page and person claiming the guests are notable, you should be providing examples. SephyTheThird ( talk) 21:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment This is by SPJA who produces Anime Expo. Here's an LA Weekly article: [13]. The Danganronpa event was also covered by Game Informer [14] Here's a Holtville newspaper article about how the event draws in about 3,000 people.

Information in content of this article is false and it is discussed on M-87 Orkan talk page. There is a police report about content of ship and court judgement(since 2014 Marko Balic pending second retrial with only customs charges no weapons proliferation charges). Not a single word about Orkan M-87 in any official document - see link to police report in Talk:M-87_Orkan page. Such information was never established except in newspapers(in same time as false WMD was established in Iraq) and ship final destination mentioned in papers - Iraq - was never established by police or court. Everything about Orkan M-87 and Iraq was is invented by yellow press witch is used for references in article. User who created this article new about discussion in Talk page Talk:M-87_Orkan for deletion of part of M-87 Orkan article about Boka Star because it was content that he added. When discussion started in 22 june 2013 to remove false content in article because he knew that it is false claim and is going to be erased, as I have seen now he created article Boka Star on 24 june 2013 and later on 23 may 2015 again added link to article in M-87 Orkan page. Article has nothing significant to exist in Wikipedia except if we are going to read about trials in court and one ship involved in it and if it is such a case millions of trials could be made as articles in Wikipedia without any significant emphasis.

  • Delete - I read the talk page: So this is kind of WP:POVFORK written from unreliable sources? The editor who wrote this article has made multiple problematic edits (such as blanking a page without an explanation and replacing it with a redirect - see the edit history of Commodity (Marxism)), so I find it quite hard to believe he wrote this in good faith. It is best to delete this page. Ceosad ( talk) 05:40, 18 November 2015 (UTC) reply

All of sudden on 22. November started activities to add more content to article, very oblivious approach by author and his colleges in order to keep it, but can all of you that added content explain what type of fuel SCUD is using? And such article that is directly misguiding readers is not worth to keep. Loesorion ( talk) 14:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Loesorion: Please do not accuse editors acting on their own initiative of collaborating with the original creator of the article. One outcome of nominating an article for deletion is that it gets improved and kept, once it is known that the article is at risk of deletion. This seems to have happened here, regardless of the motives behind the creation of the article in the first place. This is not a personal battle between you and the creator of the article. If it gets kept it will be because the original concerns have been addressed. That doesn't mean the the original creator has "won" or that you have "lost". Mjroots ( talk) 15:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't know that author so there is nothing personal in trying to delete article that contains false information and there was a reason for deletion and a sudden change of article in day that should be deleted with nobody saying anything prior that and still is kept portion of article with false information's that was reason for deletion is something that made me feel awkward. Sorry if I offended anyone by mentioning something that sound like accusation but I just wrote that without explicitly thinking on anyone but on content that was still there. It was not my attention to accuse but if you find numerous time same wrong info and every attempt to delete it is not successful despite previous discussion about it is time to think about conspiracies - joking of course - I don't mind article to be improved but improving everything else and living reason for deletion is strange don't you think?

Thanks for taking time to review the sources, could you tell me which of the sources you think best establishes the subject's notability?

  • As someone with a more-than-passing knowledge of bioenergetics and body psychology I was interested in this one. The problem as the nominator points out is a lack of non-affiliated reliable sources. The article for bioenergetic analysis founder and former W. Reich disciple Alexander Lowen isn't terribly well-developed, either, but there's enough RS out there if one does a Gnews search (particularly for non-English coverage, for some reason). With Kelemen, you don't see the level of general-interest coverage but perhaps people could find evidence that he meets WP:NACADEMICS as someone influential in the body psychology field, I dunno.

  • Delete: The most reliable sources are the NYTimes book reviews published in 1975. I have NYTimes subscription and was able to read the reviews. They do not discuss much about the subject's life, but uncritically discuss his fringe theories on metaphysics and longevity. The other sources cited in the article do not establish notability, thus it fails WP:BIO and WP:BLP. Delta13C ( talk) 22:00, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Can you share some relevant extracts from the article? I think User:Northamerica1000 has a valid point that significant coverage in 1975 may still be sufficient for our notability standards. -- Salimfadhley ( talk) 14:49, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Ok well that's enough. This is an academic (or pseudo, if you prefer) who's notable for his ideas, not "his life." Reliable sources don't have to be about "the subject's life," per WP:AUTHOR. If we have two bona fide NYT reviews and the SF Chronicle reviews, too, that's multiple and that's enough. We're not here to sit in judgement over whether the NYT reviews are "critical" enough, it is sufficient that that his works have been the subject of multiple reviews. Keep.

  • Keep. Notable author. The booksare very widely held by an array of academci libraries 931 in one case; some are published by major publishers. For an academic,and I'll judge him as an academic, this meets WP:PROF because it shows the influence of his ideas. The article does need some rewriting, but it meets the usual standard. If there are reviews of the books, it meets WP:AUTHOR as well. It is not necessary for a writer or professor that the references discuss their personal life; they rather need to discuss the factors which make for notable, and in this case it's the books. I personally have a considerable degree of impatience with psychology work of this nature, and I regard it as a sign of incipient absurdity for anyone to derive a theory on the combined basis of Darwin and Einstein. But that shouldn't be a factor in judging the notability of the person for the purpose of a npov encycopedia . DGG ( talk ) 08:40, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply

It is unfortunate that Keleman mars this fascinating thesis with a simplistic section on ""self-dialogue"" -- getting in touch with our wish to die and our lifestyles; personal growth is much more complex. But he wisely and pointedly opens doors, and his book may prove an impetus to more complete studies and therapies.", and [19], of Your Body is Alive! - "Keleman, whose Living Your Dying (1974) attracted a good deal of praise, is a bioenergetic therapist whose commendable motives cannot be doubted, but oh, my, how he writes. .. Still, these insights degenerate with remarkable swiftness into jargon, and Keleman's heavy reliance on metaphor tends to be annoying rather than illuminating.

  • Redirect and Merge into Agape International Missions. There is notability here, but as Brewster's claim to notability stems entirely form his mission to rescue and rehabilitate forced sex workers, it makes sense to combine these two articles into a single article. Another reason to do this, is that many sources describe his wife, Bridget, as co-founder and equal partner in the mission, an aspect that is lost in having an article only on him.

'Not For Sale' appears in numerous books such as this, newspaper articles like this and other publications. I won't list them all as they're far too numerous.

Despite the name of the judge's court, the Supreme Court of British Columbia is not actually the court that is supreme in British Columbia; that would be the British Columbia Court of Appeal. "Supreme" in this case merely distinguishes it from even smaller local courts. This is similar to, for example, the New York Supreme Court, another "supreme court" that is not, in fact, supreme.

Article's subject does not appear to exist. Only link provided as a references links back directly to this article. KDS4444 Talk 00:38, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • I am fairly sure it exists, but it is not clear to me that this is what it is called in English. See es:Manifiesto de Ginebra. Here is a book in English that talks about the matter (of the pretender to the Spanish throne stating opposition to Franco and calling for the monarchy to be restored). I am not yet convinced that the incident requires more cover than a sentence in Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona. — Kusma ( t· c) 17:13, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep or merge to Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona. The nominator deserves a WP:TROUT for assuming that references linking back into an article are evidence of a hoax - particularly when the links go to an entry in the article's Bibliography section which gives full bibliographical details of the referenced work, complete with a working ISBN link. As User:Kusma notes, this declaration by the then pretender to the Spanish throne exists - and, in fact, page 23 of this source (which, despite not identifying itself, comes from the website of a highly reputable academic publisher, and appears to be part of "Britain and the Spanish Anti-Franco Opposition, 1940-1950" by David J. Dunthorn) specifically mentions it as the Geneva Manifesto. The corresponding article on Spanish Wikipedia shows that a detailed and well-referenced article on the topic is perfectly feasible, though I am not entirely sure that a comparatively minor event deserves quite that amount of treatment here - however, it should certainly have at least a couple of sentences in the article on its author. PWilkinson ( talk) 01:17, 21 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I presume Ginebra is the Spanish spelling for Geneva. The question is whether the declaration is so notable that it needs a separate article or whether it should be merged to Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona. I am not qualified to judge. I certainly do not believe the hoax theory. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:04, 21 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I have added four {{ cite book}}s and very slightly expanded the lead with context explaining the name. @ KDS4444: The referencing system in use at the time of AFD tagging is Harvard citations. Please also observe that WP:BEFORE B.6. says "Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles." This check was apparently not performed. At es:Manifiesto de Ginebra we have a good 10+k article, sourced and ready to translate. All-in-all there's nothing to debate at AFD here, and a {{ withdraw}} could save some community time. As for the article title, that can be discussed at the article talk page.

  • Delete the (2018-2022) article as being WP:TOOSOON. As for the second article about the current coverage, I think it should also be deleted as it is synthesis on a topic that is not sufficiently notable independent of the NRL league. NRL#Audience already covers the topic quite well, so I can't see much in the "NRL on Nine" article that is worth saving. AtHomeIn神戸 ( talk) 00:15, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

The article content beyond the tracklisting is cobbled together largely from directory websites, posts by the artist's record company, and reviews that are either user-generated, from webzines of dubious reliability, or web forum posts.

  • weak keep: I like the fact that they're trying to do this, but this is not the way how. I think the article should be developed in a sandbox (is that the right term? i.e. on-wiki but off encyclopaedia, in draft or user's page), and possibly an experienced editor assist/mentor them. Rather than reject them outright (and deleting it in this manner may feel like procedure for us but for an outsider it can convey the image of a closed shop), we should encourage them. The teacher did mess up by jumping straight in to the article before being ready and even asking us to leave them alone whilst they fumble around, but let's assume good faith, extend the hand of friendship and help them achieve this goal. At the end of it, we could have 20+ kids who understand how to use wiki, what references and neutral/objective tone mean and maybe a couple will stick around and make more contribs to the project. I'm willing to help where I can, i.e. with tone, referencing, formatting etc. Not an expert in the field so may need support with certain bits. Rayman60 ( talk) 00:34, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - I left a Welcome-Student message on the creator's talk page. Hopefully, it points them in the right direction. As for the article itself, I would err on the side of good faith to be more encouraging and less discouraging. The article's topic itself can meet WP:GNG, given the proper citations (which we can only hope the article's creator has some in mind). If some action has to be taken, I'd suggest Userfy or Sandbox.

  • Comment - All, I wanted to raise to everyone's attention that a similar article on the exact same topic was recently created. But looking at the bigger picture and seeing similar articles and subsequent AFDs in the last week (i.e. Latino Women and their Migrations to America and Migration from Latin America to Europe), I'm willing to bet all of these are part of the same class activity. Not to mention one of the authors is also named Latinostudies2015. I strongly recommend that someone more knowledgeable than me get to the bottom of this and if at all possible get in touch with the class instructor. I really like the effort, but they should be advised on Wikipedia's guidelines. Making it a more clean process rather than haphazard article creation would make it easier for everyone (Assuming it hasn't already been project-ified). Thanks, all!

I have attempted to reach out to the editor, they're also aware of the debate here, and are not engaging with other editors or updating us with a response to the issues raised. I would support a Delete now and let them build the article in a sandbox or similar, and then present it. However I've also discovered that there's an article called Hispanic Americans in World War II which is a featured article, and feel that anything worthwhile could be added to that article (however it's a featured article of excellent content so it would be difficult for them).

International reactions to a US-specific event are likely of questionable notability at best. Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) may the force be with you 21:22, 15 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to United States presidential election, 2012. Might or might not WP:GNG, but this should be chopped down since this gives undue weight to other countries. Most of this is irrelevant anyway. epic genius ( talk) 21:48, 15 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I previously wrote an essay at Wikipedia:Reactions to... articles aka WP:REACTIONS that describes some of the issues with these "International reactions" articles and lists some of the previous outcomes of debates around them. It is not intended as a guideline, but more a reflection of how editors have dealt with such articles before. That said, editors may be interested in extending the essay or working it into a guideline - perhaps a supplement to WP:EVENT. Fences& Windows 00:54, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It doesn't exist in any other languages, but it's long and would take too much work to merge. 2601:600:8500:5B1:D41B:E837:1128:2F01 ( talk) 19:00, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete – there is nothing encyclopedic here. It's just a grab-bag of guarded, tactful diplomatic statements made at the time by a wide range of political leaders (which doesn't necessarily reflect their actual working relationship with Obama during his subsequent tenure as president); and the stated views of various media organisations whose various preferences and biases will dictate their view anyway. There's no analysis or summary of the topic. This is just a very long and very boring wikiquote page. Aspirex ( talk) 21:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Keep or Merge - One could argue that the responses by notable heads of states to a notable event are notable (especially when it concerns the most notable head of state on the planet), but that said, the article is a considerably long list at this point. I would love to see this kept or at least condensed/merged, but not outright deleted all together. GabeIglesia ( talk) 00:36, 23 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: I was tempted by the merge option until I saw the article. Too lengthy to effectively fit in elsewhere, however it contains good info which will no doubt eventually be removed from publications and servers over time, it's useful and nice that it's somewhat concisely(!) summarised here.

  • Keep. "International reactions to..." is an established article type, the subject is important enough to be worth it, and the material is clearly sufficiently extensive that a split is appropriate--perhaps even necessary. DGG ( talk ) 04:51, 30 November 2015 (UTC) reply
