WP:BLP of an academic, parked almost entirely on primary sources that cannot confer notability under WP:GNG — almost every single source here is her own PR profile on the website of a directly-affiliated organization, or a promotional page for one of her books on Amazon or the website of its publisher. The only source here that's even marginally acceptable referencing for a Wikipedia article is #1, but as an interview with the subject it's not strong enough to carry GNG by itself as an article's only valid source. While there's enough of a claim of notability here that a properly sourced article about her would be keepable, no claim of notability ever confers an automatic inclusion freebie on an article that's resting on primary sources rather than reliable, independent coverage in media. Delete unless the sourcing can be massively overhauled, no prejudice against the future recreation of a properly sourced version. Bearcat ( talk) 23:18, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep. And improve. This is a new article by an inexperienced editor. It should not be deleted due to inexperience. Deletion criterion 7 is "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed." Not delete because of no reliable sources after two days.

The fact that one of the sources (yourstory.com) is blacklisted is also concerning ( looking into that).

If it is, there is this, this (which is an excellent reference for notability), this (another good one), this, and this other good one. And those are just from the first page of the Books search. If these are about the same software, than it's a definite keep. If not, then delete.

@ bonadea please reconsider your vote. I have reviewed the notability guidelines and the guideline for corporations, and there is sufficient support based on the guidelines to keep the page. While the Au Pair category may not be as large as other well known categories, that does not mean that GreatAuPair is not notable within that category. Here are several third party articles referencing GreatAuPair to establish the fact that it is notable:

Delete The list of sources at first seemed pretty impressive, but they're all incidental or extremely minimal mentions of the company. WP:CORP, one of the competent notability guidelines, is pretty clear that these shallow sorts of mentions don't qualify.-- 69.204.153.39 ( talk) 02:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep If you take a closer look, there are 195 news articles that mention GreatAuPair and 191 books that have published mentions of GreatAuPair relative to the services it provides. The General Notability Guideline states that the sources must be 1) Reliable, which they are; 2) Sources should be secondary, which they are; 3) Independent, which they are; and 4) "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material. Each of the referenced articles is relatively short, based on the content relating to the services provided by GreatAuPair. The fact that GreatAuPair gets as much ink as it does in a short article gives even greater weight to the mention. In each of the articles, the topic of GreatAuPair is referenced in light of the services it provides. If GreatAuPair was cited in only a handful of articles and books, your point would have merit, however given the large number of mentions by hundreds of different sources makes the mentions substantive, especially in a relatively small market and therefore meets the requirement for Significant Coverage.

  • Delete. Ultimately, the links provided in the "references" section above are websites where the company's website gets a passing mention. There is no actual in-depth coverage about the website/company. Most of the sourcing provided consists of opinionated/vague lists of "useful" or similar websites, wherein this site gets a brief mention and is certainly not the primary topic. The "reliable sources" provided above merely show the company exists and do not convey notability. It does not appear that WP:GNG is met. -- Kinu  t/ c 18:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
As specified in WP:GNG, Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material. @ Kinu  t/ c points out that GreatAuPair is not the primary topic of the articles, which as noted above, is not required for establishing notability. The sourcing criteria for establishing notability are substantial coverage of the subject in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject and the fact that 195 publications and 191 books have cited GreatAuPair as an important company in its category is notable. As the first company of its kind in the United States, within its category, whether or not recognized by Wikipedians should in no way impugn the category's recognition that GreatAuPair is notable as having started the online caregiver marketplace, which was followed, some may say, copied by venture-backed startups gone public, which you might agree is demonstrable and thus notable. WikiFactBase ( talk) 02:20, 20 October 2015 (UTC) reply
None of these are substantial coverage. They're all trivial. -- Kinu  t/ c 02:39, 20 October 2015 (UTC) reply
The determination of notability is based on four factors as defined in WP:GNG. It has been established that the sources are 1) Reliable; 2) Third party; 3) Independent; and 4) Represent "Significant coverage". The argument of dismissing all coverage as trivial is overly broad and subjective given that coverage includes 195 publications and 191 published books, the volume and depth of which establishes coverage substantial enough to be considered notable. WikiFactBase ( talk) 23:35, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I'd be curious to find out how this source, or quite frankly any of the ones you provided (all of which are of the same ilk), is even remotely "significant coverage". -- Kinu  t/ c 04:48, 22 October 2015 (UTC) reply
As noted in several preceding paragraphs, you are citing one specific trivial mention and then broadly characterizing all 385 other publications in the same light, which is neither fair nor accurate. The proposed page is factual and non-promotional in nature. The company is notable for reasons already stated and sufficient evidence has been provided that substantially meets the requirements in WP:GNG. WikiFactBase ( talk) 21:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC) reply
No, I am not characterizing one of your sources as a trivial mention; rather, I am characterizing all of the sources you have provided above as trivial mentions. Your assertion that the existence of "385 publications" is evidence of notability is flawed. The onus is on those arguing to keep to show not only what or how many sources exist, but to show how they convey notability. What are these publications? Are they reliable sources? If so, can we glean anything non-trivial from those sources, or are they just passing mentions? None of the sources you have provided do anything more than briefly mention the company. Unless you can actually show that there are sources that discuss this company in a manner that is anything more than trivial, my !vote stands. -- Kinu  t/ c 21:43, 24 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Knoji, an independent, third party publisher maintains a knowledge base, offering consumer guides, where they profiled GreatAuPair in a substantial, non-trivial manner. HubPages, a reputable, independent, third party source also profiled GreatAuPair in a substantive, unbiased article: www.hubpages.com/hub/A-Review-of-the-Au-Pair-and-Nanny-Agency-GreatAuPaircom where GreatAuPair is the sole focus of the article. Further, an independent industry watchdog, Au Pair Clearinghouse profiled GreatAuPair through an agency review. None of these mentions could be construed as trivial as GreatAuPair is the sole topic of each article. So it is proven that there are in fact substantial, non-trivial mentions that characterize GreatAuPair as notable per WP:GNG. WikiFactBase ( talk) 19:00, 25 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Again, you appear to be conflating existence with notability. If the best that exists is a directory-style site that reviews (with unclear editorial oversight) every program in existence and other sites that rely on user-generated content (like HubPages, which most certainly does not meet WP:RS), then I don't think anything is proven. -- Kinu  t/ c 00:58, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I have no problem with the concept of a new article with proper sources being written about this company (assuming such sources can be found), but the current version is so bad, I would argue against moving it to draft. Better to start fresh. I've removed some of the worst material; there's not much left. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:30, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply
The fact that the company exists was established by posts early on in the thread and subsequent posts were provided to rebut false claims that over 385 publications and their coverage of GreatAuPair was trivial, so there's no conflating existence with the supporting evidence of notability. It's a given that a large number of trivial mentions exist - that's not contested. However, not all mentions are trivial as noted above. Since there appear to be a number of opinions cast about that refer to trivial mentions or sources insufficient to establish notability, let's look at the requirements of a source per WP:RS, as by doing so, we can separate opinion from fact.

===Definition of a source===
The word "source" when citing sources on Wikipedia has three related meanings:
Any of the three can affect reliability. Reliable sources may be published materials with a reliable publication process, authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject, or both. These qualifications should be demonstrable to other people.

--> Edina Stone, an industry expert who publishes reports and articles on the au pair industry and the companies that comprise it, wrote and published an independent article on GreatAuPair, and would most certainly be regarded as authoritative related to the subject and therefore a reliable source per WP:RS.

The GreatAuPair article substantially meets the requirements as defined in WP:GNG which states that if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. Through several aforementioned posts in this thread, every comment to delete has been sufficiently rebutted with verifiable proof that GreatAuPair does in fact meet the following tests for notability, by providing sources that meet the following requirements:

An example of a Reliable Source that has covered GreatAuPair in a substantial non-trivial manner.

--> http://www.aupairclearinghouse.com/Great_Au_Pair_USA_Program_Blog_Article
  • Sources Including but not limited to newspapers, books and e-books, magazines, television and radio documentaries, reports by government agencies, and academic journals. In the absence of multiple sources, it must be possible to verify that the source reflects a neutral point of view, is credible and provides sufficient detail for a comprehensive article. should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.

--> The source, Edina Stone reflects an unbiased neutral point of view based on her research and editorial discretion.
  • Independent of the subject excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.

--> As an independent publisher, Edina Stone and the Au Pair Clearinghouse does its own primary research for the protection of host families and au pairs and therefore has no affiliation with the subject of the article regarding GreatAuPair.

  • Presumed means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included.

--> Based on the facts and not unsubstantiated opinions, the assumption can be drawn that the subject should be included. Concluding otherwise appears unduly biased and discounts the actual GNG as defined above. WikiFactBase ( talk) 00:41, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Its online audience is significantly more engaged than that of other media projects (half a million unique readers of Novara Wire articles). The attention it has attracted from the national media over interviews it has published should further prove it's notability. The endorsements from the Institute for Public Policy Research, a prominent independent think tank, and the London Review of Books should also count in its favour.

I find the other sources are passing mentions of founders, or quotations by Novara output by other media: these are passing mentions. There may be other sources that do specifically discuss Novara and its importance, but they have not yet been demonstrated, find them. Or, if in future they become apparent, use them. The key source is The Guardian which describes the concept and the impact as notable. For a minor left concept, mention in the Guardian seems to be a winner.

  • Keep - may not have been notable 3 years back but is picking up, a good site started by a known journalist..and also one of the very few news sites which licences its stuff under a free licence-- Ste moc 05:40, 11 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep passes WP:NCORP and WP:GNG as far as I can see. Local media organisation with broad, national coverage, has conducted interviews with a range of nationally important public figures (e.g., Jeremy Corbyn, opposition leader in Parliament), content is open licensed, includes radio, conventional journalism, TV, etc. On Facebook you have over 1,800 people "talking" about the organisation at this moment. Often small, quality media organisations are just not going to have the quantity of external references and sources that larger media organisations will have, but this does not invalidate their inclusion on the site.

  • Delete I see no significant coverage of this media project in independent, reliable sources. Almost all of the sources used as references are affiliated with Novara Media, and accordingly do not establish notability. One phrase in a reliable source like the London Review of Books is puffed up into two sentences in the article, a tactic which hints at how thin the independent coverage is. The closing administrator will disregard, of course, the !votes from SPAs which are not based on policies and guidelines. A media project does not gain notability by interviewing notable people, whether Jeremy Corbyn or anyone else. Notability is not inherited.

  • Keep I don't particularly disagree that this is a really poor article, especially at the beginning, but I'm not seeing grounds for deletion. I wouldn't say this is original research, though WP:SYNTH may well be relevant. But we're here to discuss the topic of the article. As such, inclusion guidelines concern whether it's encyclopedic, whether it can be verified from reliable sources, and whether it's notable. These are properties of the topic, not the article as presented. I'm no academic, but I guarantee that any editor here, can, in 5 minutes, come up with books, journal articles, and extensive media coverage of alcohol use among college students and its broad societal implications. Someone should post the appropriate flags to the article to improve its substance, but the topic clearly merits inclusion. -- 69.204.153.39 ( talk) 02:53, 20 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Non-notable bio discussing a non-notable controversy. Most of the article discusses a non-notable controversy. Reliance on India based news services, most of which are little more than blogs posing as newspapers produces articles and bios with a lot of dead links over time like this one -- Swapnil Joshi -- so don't be immediately wowed by all the references to India based news sites which move links and delete articles all the time.

Yet the sources don't really give much neutral context for those controversies. I'M certainly left scratching my head wondering what it's all about. So I'm inclined to swing to delete, unless someone can do something to clean the mess up. Thus us a potentially damaging BLP, after all. Sławomir

I'm a volunteer at the BLP Noticeboard. No hidden agenda here. This is an article with a non-notable controversy about a non-notable subject. Even the editor thinks the article should be deleted. The article was reported for repeated insertion of poorly sourced content. If the articles only purpose is to discuss a controversy, then the controversy must be notable, which is is not.

"Even the editor thinks the article should be deleted." I assume this is directed at me. I'm not sure I agree with the characterization as "the editor". I didn't write the article, although I did at one point "edit" the article to reduce the amount of ephemeral gossip. But surely that does not qualify for the definite article "the". Others have done much more editing there than I have. However, I also do recognize that it is problematic, for some of the same reasons you have already articulated. Sławomir

The result was Keep. Those favoring keep and those favoring delete simply read our policies and standards quite differently. There is coverage here from reliable sources (and more coverage, basically repetitive, is easily found.) The GRG has been found to be an RS for such articles at a WP:RSN discussion. Does WP:BLP1E apply, or is this not the sort of situation for which it was crafted? There being no clear policy-based answer, I went with satisfaction of the WP:GNG (which is present) and the numbers of editors expression an opinion here.

  • Delete WP:BLP1E subject only known for longevity and WP:GNG, no significant coverage in reliable sources. One of the sources even states there is virtually no media coverage. The sources used don't help either. 1 is a name and residence (1 power point slide of about 50+), 2 and 3 are a listing in a table, 4 is for her 115th birthday (note: this source says there is virtually no news coverage on her) and the last is an obituary. She is notable to be on a list, which she is on several. CommanderLinx ( talk) 00:48, 19 October 2015 (UTC) — CommanderLinx ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

The prior SPA was (as this one is on its way to being) sock-infested. [13] EEng ( talk) 20:20, 20 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I am in agreement with you. Firstly, world's oldest person/woman/man titleholders typically get a lot of media coverage, implying that being the WOP/WOW/WOM is notable. Occasionally they don't, but this may be for reasons such as the person being in poor health, wanting to remain anonymous, or whatever. But even if that's the case, that doesn't make their achievement any less. It's still the same "title". Therefore, I think that a more general discussion about whether WOPs/WOWs/WOMs are notable needs to take place, to see if consensus can be reached. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 15:29, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply
WP:WOP guidelines for biographies state an article like this (one or two reliable sources establishing notability and notable only for her age) belongs on a list, not a standalone article. As stated, three sources tell us nothing useful so that leaves the 115th birthday (which would be a case of WP:BLP1E as this is the only coverage she got) and the obituary (which is routine coverage). And no, these sources do not provide significant details on anything but her longevity as you can see in the article with the two paragraphs dedicated to longevity trivia. If you take out the excess trivial information about being 7th oldest, oldest in Florida, etc you are left with nothing more than what is in the table at List of Puerto Rican supercentenarians.

  • Keep She most certainly is notable. She was the last living person from the Florida, the last living Hispanic American, and the last living Puerto Rican to have been born in the 19th century. She was also one of the last 10 living people worldwide to have had that distinction. I actually met and interviewed her for Turning Point USA two months before her death, and I have more information on her. I will have it posted by the end of the week if you keep this page. ---- DaKardii ( talk) — DaKardii ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The IP and the account (my account) are not the same person. The IP in question is "User 166." He//she is a notorious troll from California who has repeatedly vandalized articles on supercentenarians by doing things such as putting in false death dates. I, on the other hand, am from Florida, and have had the honor of personally meeting Mrs. Gerena Rivera. If you looked up my IP address, and read my article on Turning Point USA (which can be found here: http://hypeline.org/antonia-gerena-rivera-a-look-into-the-past), you would see that. Furthermore, User 166 has been banned. I have not. That alone should be proof that I am not him/her. DaKardii ( talk)

  • Delete WP:NOPAGE. WP:GNG. There is nothing, and I do mean nothing, of encyclopedic value in the article. It's nearly all "horse-race" reporting about a mythical aging contest. Human longevity is a fit (and important) topic for an encyclopedia to cover. But the mundane details of the everyday life of every long-lived person is not - and bloviation about their place jockeying for position in some fanciful race to hold a "title" or break a "record" is nonsensical and a little bit morbid. Are users of this encyclopedia expected to be looking for information about which old person on which continent staved off the visit of the Angel of Death by 12 days or 7 months longer than which other old person? There's a serious misapprehension evident in the !votes above about the meaning of the term "notability" on Wikipedia. It's not as loose as the conversational meaning of the word. Reasonable people can differ about whether a particular senior citizen is notable in this sense. But " WP:notable" is a term of art on Wikipedia, with a very specific definition. The General Notability Guidelines require non-trivial, significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of one another and of the subject. We don't have that here. We have a slideshow with a picture of the subject and an assertion of her age from a presentation by a longevity expert: WP:OR? We have a couple of links to Gerontology Research Group web pages: WP:RS? WP:OR? And we have a birthday article and an obit, with mundane details of the subject's life and some "horse race" data. WP:GNG? Any way you slice, dice, mince or mangle these "sources" you do not wind up with a bio appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia, at least not if you're following Wikipedia's rules.

  • Keep As mentioned above, not much has changed since the last nomination. On top of that, it's still interesting how some people can judge that an article is worth deleting when a quick Google search identifies potential new sources; instead of opting for deletion, they could also try and improve the article - as that would be a sign of building on the Wiki community - or labelling the article a stub that requires expansion. Deletion is not the answer to everything. Fiskje88 ( talk) 19:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC) — Fiskje88 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

  • Keep - as discussed in the first AfD nomination for this article, and many other AfD's regarding articles on people that are notable for longevity. Longevity of life is not a single event; many sources on longevity cite events that have occurred during longevity, such as 114th birthdays, etc - these are single events. Therefore, this article subject does not qualify for WP:1E. Also, it is important to note that people have been citing WP:BLP1E - this is different than WP:1E and only used for BLP articles, which does not apply here. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 18:03, 22 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - As per above arguments and in fact there is no difference since the last AfD nomination. — Sanskari Hangout 19:02, 22 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Of course someone who's 115 gets written up in the paper--but note that all the coverage is indeed from the local paper. That kind of coverage typically does not add up to notability. Sorry, but I don't see a lot of decent arguments in this discussion--"seems to be notable" isn't an argument, and "well she's the oldest woman so she's notable" is putting the cart before the horse. Nothing has changed since the last AfD--well, that was not a very strong AfD in terms of arguments.

    So. Old people aren't inherently notable, though that may change, and thus discussion here needs to focus on the strength of the sources. Well, three of the references are from the Gerontology Research Group (not a secondary source, really); one is from "hypeline", whatever that may be; one of them is a slide from a (rather poorly done) PowerPoint on old people. That leaves three (3) sources that can properly be called secondary: an obituary and----no, only one from the Miami Herald, cited twice, and another from the Bradenton Herald. But wait, look again--it's the same article. In other words we have one (1) valid reference for the topic.

    I have no doubt one could Google and find a couple more articles, but my point is that even a bunch of such articles don't easily add up to notability--not until there's something discussing her in any kind of depth, something a bit broader than the local paper. Drmies ( talk) 02:24, 23 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Hi, Drmies. I saw your input here and wanted to respond to it. A basis that factors into your argument is the fact that the events that occurred during her life were published by local newspapers. I wanted to acknowledge this argument, as this point reminds me of how we define secondary sources on Wikipedia, and also describe their relevance or ability to establish notability. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 03:15, 23 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Hi, Drmies. Hypeline is the news website of Turning Point USA, a conservative student activist website. For more information, use this URL. ( http://www.turningpointusa.net/aboutus) In addition, the GRG should actually be considered a PRIMARY source. It is considered an authority for the Guinness Book of World Records when tracking the world's oldest people.( http://articles.latimes.com/2005/jun/25/local/me-aged25) DaKardii ( talk)
  • How is the GRG not considered a secondary source? It's not self-published or published by someone close to the subject. And reliability isn't based on media coverage alone. The fact that she is verified by the GRG, #37 on the all-time list, and also the recordholder for Puerto Rican women and Florida residents, is evidence of notability. -- Ollie231213 ( talk) 16:03, 23 October 2015 (UTC) reply
[18] is labelled as a local obituary, generally local news sources can't be used to show notability and I have verified the other [19] as being the same article. Also labelled as a "Breaking News Blog" [20] - "Local breaking news from Bradenton and Manatee County". And I don't think Hypeline can be considered a reliable source. Rainbow unicorn ( talk) 21:09, 24 October 2015 (UTC) reply
DaKardii ( talk) 1) The Hypeline source is independent. I would know, because I wrote it. 2) Regarding the GRG, if it's a research website, then how do its findings lack the merit required to be on Wikipedia? As a research site, it provides educational value, like Wikipedia does. By your logic, every supercentenarian article should have references to the GRG deleted, which would result in many of said articles not having enough evidence to justify their existence. 3) GRG has a table on the world's oldest people. It does not merely validate supercentenarians. ( http://www.grg.org/Adams/B.HTMhttp://www.grg.org/Adams/B.HTM) 4) How are local sources not evidence? Local sources are often used to discover claims of longevity and prompt investigations into the person's age. If professionals who validate supercentenarians take them into consideration, ordinary Wikipedia users should, too. DaKardii ( talk) 14:22, 25 October 2015 (UTC) reply
1) I have nothing else to say about the Hypeline source. 2, 3) There are thousands of research groups all over the world doing all sorts of stuff, while they can provide good information, not everything they do is wiki-notable. GRG may be ok as a source for some out of the hundreds if not thousands of people they have looked into who do have articles, but they are not notable just because of what GRG did for them, they have other sources and/or reasons. 4) An obituary in a local newspaper (remember, both are the same) is not a sign of notability, think about it. GRG's non-age finding that I mentioned should be taken into consideration as well. Rainbow unicorn ( talk) 23:29, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

And because she is not "notable" by your standards, her secrets to longevity don't deserve to be heard? DaKardii ( talk) 14:09, 25 October 2015 (UTC) reply
But then they wouldn't be secrets anymore, would they? EEng ( talk) 00:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Where has that "standard" been "set"? Notability is set by coverage only. Certain types of people e.g. Nobel winners, are presumed notable because it's presumed they will have received GNG-satisfying coverage, to save trouble in such common cases. But such presumptions are rebuttable i.e. if it turns out they don't pass GNG/BP1E after all, then they're not notable after all. EEng ( talk) 18:20, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I think it is a mistake to apply WP:BLP1E to any of these cases because they are, if notable, notable for life span and not as events. WP:GNG applies to all cases of course. -- I am One of Many ( talk) 19:03, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply

I believe Bearian put it better was "well-established precedent" that super-centenarians have their own pages, and are notable for that fact alone. While some have more developed pages, the reality is that most of them wouldn't receive the coverage on WP if they were not super-centenarians with their own pages. It was for that one-event that triggered a deeper look into the lives of these people and uncovered additional notable facts about their past. Tiggerjay ( talk) 16:47, 28 October 2015 (UTC) reply

I accepted this article via the WP:AFC process. When I did so it was a borderline decision, and perhaps an unwise one. My hope was that the community would turn this into a substantive article. However, my view is that this has not taken place. I probably made an error in accepting it. Thus I am submitting it for discussion and potential deletion.

The article is an essay, albeit with referencing. However, the topic is, of itself, bland. "Deal Registration" is simply the ability of a sales channel member to say "I got here first and this possible sale is mine" and this concept does not become encyclopaedic whatever one writes about it. It might be here as a reason to promote Salesforce.com, but that is hardly likely.

It also contains WP:OR in that it draws conclusions of its own.

I do not view it to be likely that this can be turned into an article since the topic itself fails WP:GNG Fiddle Faddle 11:59, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete no redirect, as an unnecessary and less encyclopedic version of existing articles. This article has been around since June 2003; it was initiated by editor Wshun who ceased editing Wikipedia in 2013. In the 12 years since creation it has received less than 100 edits. According to WP traffic at http://stats.grok.se/ prior to 8 October 2015 the article averaged under 35 hits a day this year. This article was formerly called Glossary of group theory, it was moved on 8 October 2015‎ to the current title by The Transhumanist. The article has five sections, each of which is covered elsewhere. The "Basic definitions" section is covered in Group (mathematics)#Definition. The section on "Finiteness conditions" seems to be covered at Finite set. "Abelian groups" is covered at Abelian group. "Normal series" is covered at Subgroup series. The section "Other notions" has two entries whch are covered at General linear group and Group representation, respectively. All of these topics are mentioned in the two articles Group theory and Group (mathematics) at their appropriate places. I see no justification for an additional site for terminological pointers, nor defintions. The definitions are an unnecessary WP:Content split. Also WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Considerable work will need to be done as there are about forty articles that point to this one; however, all of the ones that I looked at could be changed to pointing to Group (mathematics), to one of the specific articles listed above, or just removed without loss. If there is a reason that these policies should not apply, please let us non-mathematicians know what it is. -- Bejnar ( talk) 03:52, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Merge, to wherever appropriate. In answer to your request, WP:NOTDICTIONARY does not apply, since glossaries and terminology articles are exceptions to that policy, and each term is covered as a subject rather than as a word.

There are some features of textbooks that we don't want to duplicate in Wikipedia, but explanations of the technical vocabulary needed to understand certain important but specialized topics can be perfectly encyclopedic.

  • Delete for now or redirect to 2015 Michigan State Spartans football team#Michigan. This article was created about 6 hours after the game ended. College football games are dealt with appropriately in season articles on the teams involved. Individual college games only warrant stand-alone articles if they are shown, through the test of time, to be historically significant to the sport. It is simply TOOSOON to determine whether this game will achieve that level of significance. Cbl62 ( talk) 14:55, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I am the creator of the article. I have been a longtime Wikipedia member, and I plan on improving the article even further. Why so quick to delete? To say that this play isn't relevant and unworthy of its own page is rather obtuse in my opinion. The chances of the opponent winning this game on the last play were .02%. This is a long time rivalry (See: Michigan–Michigan State football rivalry) and coach Jim Harbaugh's first season as Michigan's head coach. With this loss, he became the 7th Michigan coach in a row to lose to Michigan State their first year. Michigan had combined to defeat its past three opponents by a score of 97-0, and were actually favored by 6 1/2 points at kickoff. This is also noteworthy considering Michigan State at the time was undefeated (6-0) and ranked 7th in the country while Michigan (5-1) had already lost a non-conference game (Utah, 6-0, #4 in country as of kickoff) and was ranked 12th. I appreciate having the opportunity to make my case and share this information with everyone, and no hard feelings if the consensus reached is delete. I am a little surprised though, considering it is obvious this play will be talked about for many years to come. Thanks! Stubble boy 16:29, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Michigan–Michigan State football rivalry per Cake and others involved in this discussion.

  • Either redirect to Michigan–Michigan State football rivalry or userfy - This article could use a lot of work on it, though I feel like it's too early for it to warrant a page as of now, since we're not sure if it will become a "legendary" play like the aforementioned ones.

  • Comment Historically, this event was the first of it's kind. Never has a leading team's punt been blocked in the final seconds, recovered by the opposing team, then ran back for the game winning touchdown as the clock expired. We have an article for the Kick Six event during the 78th Iron Bowl (also a rivalry) which has a section for Coaches and Players, A game recap, and even a Scoring summary. How are any of those sections relevant to the event that happened? Here is your answer, they aren't, and this article could easily include such filler. I'm actually starting to wonder had I have just waited and done all the work myself before creating the article if there would have even been a need for a deletion discussion. There will eventually be a Wikipedia article on this historic event, so I'm not sure why deleting it now would be productive. Stubble boy 20:51, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - There is nothing historically significant about this game, and of course leading teams have lost in the final seconds of games before, including the circumstances described. And, as far as I am concerned, someone can nominate "Kick Six" for AfD, too. If Wikipedia editors have to invent a cutesy title for the game or borrow one from fan blogs, that's usually a sign that the game probably does not meet our criteria for a stand-alone article. Merely being an exciting game is not enough; there are hundreds of exciting CFB games every season, and dozens are decided in the closing seconds. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 05:09, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment You're entitled to your own opinion, however you would have to go back and delete TONS of articles if this event isn't significant to warrant it's own. What about this one 2006 Michigan State vs. Northwestern football game? Does it meet your personal criteria of being a valid and worthy article? What about the 2015 MLL All-Star Game? That's the 2015 Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game. What now, you've never heard of it? Big surprise, neither have I. Maybe someone should get busy creating the article for the 2013 MLL Game, because I'm sure it carries just as much notably as 2015 did, right? Stubble boy 05:57, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment - Yes, I am entitled to my own opinion, but what you're missing in this discussion is that my "opinion" is backed by a sound understanding of WP:GNG, WP:NRIVALRY, WP:NEVENT, WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and WP:NOTNEWS, as well as several years of AfD precedents in discussions regarding stand-alone articles about regular season CFB games. You're late to the table, and you haven't done your homework. Again, it's not a coincidence that almost all of the long-time CFB and college sports editors are telling you the same thing. You would do well to heed those "opinions" because they are based on understanding of the relevant guidelines and precedents. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 16:45, 21 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Response Dirtlawyer1, I'd like to make you aware that in my opinion, your previous comment sounds rude, egotistical, and personal.

They aren't appropriate, and could very well hurt someone else's feelings.

  • Delete - Per Bagumba's rationale immediately above. WikiProject College Football has evolved a very high standard for a stand-alone article about an individual regular season game, i.e., the game must have significance to the history, culture and lore of college football, the coverage must exceed routine post-game coverage that all modern Division I FBS games receive on the Sunday and Monday after the game is played per WP:ROUTINE, and the coverage must be continuing over time per WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and WP:NOTNEWS. We are an encyclopedia, not a sports magazine or alamanc. And we do provide an alternative venue for coverage of individual regular season games in the format of our individual team season articles, e.g., 2015 Michigan Wolverines football team and 2015 Michigan State Spartans football team. Any non-duplicate content that should be merged to those two season articles (with proper attribution, if copy-pasted). Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 04:57, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment This article 2006 Michigan State vs. Northwestern football game was created 1 week after it occurred. It highlights the biggest college football comeback in NCAA Division 1-A history.

  • Comment - @ Stubbleboy: "This article 2006 Michigan State vs. Northwestern football game was created 1 week after it occurred. It highlights the biggest college football comeback in NCAA Division 1-A history." EXACTLY: the largest comeback in the history of major college football, a tangible record that was widely commented on at the time and appears in the records books and CFB media and literature since then. Big difference. Quoting made-up probabilities and the excitement generated are irrelevant. This about WP:GNG, WP:ROUTINE, WP:TOOSOON, and the available alternatives to cover this game until WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE can be established. As for "Kick Six," please feel free to nominate it, too; it probably ought to be folded into the Iron Bowl rivalry article. Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

  • Keep This play (and game) is one of the biggest come-from-behind victories in college football and it is easy to find sources that prove its notability. [21] [22] [23] None of these sources are "routine coverage" and it seems like this has moved from a routine football game into the national headlines. I would agree that more detail would need to be added and the article might need to be renamed. Natg 19 ( talk) 19:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Merge I agree with much of what's been said already about these two articles. At this point, I think that merging the two articles into one about the game itself is the simplest way forward. The play itself doesn't have a name that I know of but is quickly becoming quite notable. Making the article about the game solves this problem and leaves room for a future article about the play to be created in the future. Adam Kriesberg ( talk) 20:10, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Merge to 2015 Michigan State Spartans football team. Personally, I think that, like the Kick Six, this game is actually a prime possible candidate for a individual game article in the future. But, 48 hours after the game is simply WP:TOOSOON to even approximate a guess as to whether or not this game is going to have the sort of long-term effect or lasting notability it would need to sustain an individual game article. Let's wait at least 6 months, and revisit this at a later date. For right now, let's simply cover it in the context of the 2015 Michigan & Michigan State season articles, and monitor the situation for further developments.

  • Redirect to an anchor point in Michigan–Michigan State Rivalry#Notable games and reproduce content in the individual team season pages. As Dirtlawyer says, at the moment it's just a wild play in the news, and WP:NOTNEWS covers this; we can't be making new articles every time there is a highlight reel finish. I would say that merging is the right option for two reasons: because the play will be notable in the context of the teams' rivalry, but cannot be said to be stand-alone notable, and; because there is no extra context or aftermath of note to bring the extent of the article beyond a single paragraph describing the play (cf. the 2013 Iron Bowl, which had immediate championship implications, etc.).

  • Merge/redirect to the Michigan–Michigan State football rivalry section Notable games. I specifically bolded merge and not redirect because there are some good citations in this article that should be moved over to that section. Only redirecting to that section would be a disservice to the effort put into this article. Spidey 104 18:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment surely the "Kick Six" is different in that it was the final game of the regular season and against the two-time defending champion. As great of a game it was, one is not nearly as sure of the national implications quite yet. Here's hoping it keeps Michigan hungry for the Buckeyes. Cake ( talk) 14:51, 25 October 2015 (UTC) reply
You know @ MisterCake:, you may just be right. As you can see, I have been trying to make as strong of a case as I can by responding to the majority of objections, I must also concede that your note does make sense. If Michigan State were to go on and defeat an unbeaten Ohio State, then won the Big Ten Conference Championship (Over who looks to be Iowa at the moment), then I'd say they have a very strong case for inclusion in the College Football Playoffs (having beaten what will mostly be two highly ranked opponents). Finally, if MS was to win both the Semi-Final and Championship, then clearly this article should exist without objection. Agreed? Stubble boy 07:49, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply
The level of coverage in reliable sources should dictate if this article should exist now or in the future, not just because MSU theoretically won the national championship. — X96lee15 ( talk) 15:02, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply
What x96 said. If it becomes a play which proves decisive for the Big Ten title, then I imagine it will get significant coverage, but the coverage is what dictates the article's passing GNG, not merely saying the conditions are in place for it. Otherwise BYU-Nebraska's hail mary and many other needless articles get created. Cake ( talk) 16:34, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Clearly an amazing play, but, imho, the most cogent arguments, aside from the nom's, were Bagumba's and Dirtlawyer1's. Weird crap happens all the time in games, even at the end of games. But definitely WP:TOOSOON. Onel5969 TT me 23:42, 25 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment One week later (10/24), ESPN has now released a new version of the original video including previously unseen reactions from those who took part in this historic play. Ironically enough, the article is entitled "The Michigan State miracle". Stubble boy 03:44, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • strong delete. notable in other article as per above, contentious subject. DangerDogWest ( talk) 04:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Comment @ DangerDogWest:, would you mind explaining your rational for a "strong delete?" Are we to assume the other article you speak of is the 2015 Michigan State vs Michigan football game? If so, how is it this a "contentious" subject? I find it rather odd that someone would recommend "strongly" deleting an article of what is arguably the greatest play of all time in the history of college football. Stubble boy 17:28, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply


Comment/Note to Closer The article has now been updated to read "the Michigan State Miracle is the nickname given to what is arguably the greatest play of all time in the history of college football." If we have other articles pertaining to certain football plays on Wikipedia, why would we exclude this one? A valid explanation from anyone participating in this discussion would be welcomed. Thanks!

Canvassing

Comment: the creator of this article, Stubbleboy, has left notifications on the talk pages of about 40 Wikipedia editors that he has identified to be Michigan State alumni, soliciting comment here. It appears he made no effort to similarly solicit feedback from Michigan alumni or other editors with a general interest in college football. This seems like an obvious case of Wikipedia:Canvassing (scale, audience). Jweiss11 ( talk) 03:52, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

I warned the user about canvassing, and I trust the closer wasn't going to merely count !votes anyways.— Bagumba ( talk) 04:10, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Response I hope you also took the time to actually read the message I left on their talk pages before accusing me of any wrong doing.

Hello! There is an article that has been nominated for deletion regarding the Michigan State football team. I noticed you were an alumni, so I thought I would let you know in case you have any interest in participating with the discussion. If so, please just click on the Title as I have linked it straight to the page's deletion review. If you wish to see the article itself, it is titled Michigan State Miracle. Any thoughts, ideas, or edits that would help improve the page itself would also be appreciated!

I've actually been contributing to Wikipedia since it's creation in 2001, so I know the rules. All I did was inform Michigan State Alumni user's that there was a discussion they may be interested in taking part in. By no way was I ever trying to sway their personal opinion in one way or another. In fact, the first Michigan State alumni who did show up commented that he would not support the page. Thanks! Stubble boy 17:22, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Note: Issue addressed on Bagumba's talk page. Now informing University of Michigan alumni as well of this discussion. Regardless of the school your userbox states you attended (which is completely unverifiable and irrelevant), it makes the event no less significant then it actually was. Thanks! Stubble boy 17:57, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I don't think there was ill will on your part. The message was fine, the only concern was the limited distribution list, which you have addressed. No harm, no foul.— Bagumba ( talk) 18:31, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Well, alumni is a plural. I don't know if that's a blockable offense. Drmies ( talk) 00:56, 20 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Stubbleboy, I did read your message, and you should note that I qualified my accusation of canvassing above on the dimensions of scale and audience, not message. Your message is indeed neutral, but the scale of your posting is excessive and your initial target audience was partisan. I'm not looking to make a big deal about this, but you should probably refrain from this sort of alumni-targeted posting, even if it's balanced, particularly on college sports topics. A quick review of Wikipedia:Canvassing would be helpful. Jweiss11 ( talk) 01:14, 20 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Nominator comment

There is now a College GameDay blog post that calls it the "Michigan State Miracle" by that very name. -- Shirt58 ( talk) 13:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply

It really is such an amazing play, isn't it? I had the pleasure of watching the game next to a Michigan Wolverines fan (I'm a fan of rival Ohio State). He jumped out of his seat and yelled "Mike...Mike.. No, Mike... Noooo!!" Then we just both sat there in silence for about 20 seconds. I was so kind to him, I looked over and said "I'm sorry bro, that is just horrible." I really felt bad for him, how sad, they had the game won if that punt was successful. Also, Shirt58, check THIS OUT if you have a chance. It's the Wiki2 version of the article, and I think it looks incredible. Cheers! Stubble boy 18:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC) reply

The only coverage appears to be WP:ROUTINE pre release promotional blurbage. What is significant coverage? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 06:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
You ask "what is significant coverage?" Well... per WP:SIGCOV, "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Sorry, but in my own looking I find more-than-trivial coverage about casting and crewing... actors and nusic and cinemtaographers, etc... speaking of the film's productions. Finding such for a project confirmed as filming, we have a meeting of WP:NFF (paragraph 3). While more-than-trivial is the guideline requirement, WP:SUBSTANTIAL is not a policy nor guideline mandate, and for some 2 years of direct and pertinent information about this project's ongoing plans has moved beyond being "rourtine" WP:DOGBITESMAN blurbs. Thank you. Schmidt, Michael Q. 13:17, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Yes, it has begun production, but where is there anything other than WP:ROUTINE pre release promotional blurbage? [ [26]] for instance is merely a rehashed PR blurb that the promotional trailer will be released. I don't see the the encyclopedic value in Wikipedia becoming a free media publicity vector -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:06, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply

There is no "authored" and particularly no "authored and detailed" - these are merely regurgitated contents from the press kit. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:01, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
I'm not sure if WP:ROUTINE is relevant here. Given the number of sources which indicate the film's status (as currently being filmed), it clearly meets WP:NFF. — Vensatry (ping) 16:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
Per WP:NFF (paragraph 3) we do not have to userfy all forward-looking film articles, as authored and detailed news reports from reliable sources even if short, do not fall under the term "routine". Thanks. Schmidt, Michael Q. 13:17, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It appears the film has met two good criteria: (1) It has received significant coverage from multiple different independent reliable secondary sources, as successfully documented, by MichaelQSchmidt, above. (2) The film has already begun production and is in the filming stage, per documentation by Vensatry, above. If only one of those two were met, we could have argumentation to disappear this page from existence -- but with both criteria more than capably met, it should be kept.

I could maybe live with the Richest Indians in the GCC but the "top 50" sounds like its this particular list that matters (aka the Time 100 or something). However, we already have the richest Indians at Forbes list of Indian billionaires and List of Arabs by net worth but we don't have lists of "Richest nationality or people with this origin within another nation or region". There's probably an article on Indians in the region that could use a passing mention of this content at best. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 03:47, 11 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Depends on how they determine wealth. If it's a straightforward amalgamation of facts - say, based on tax records - there's no creativity in the list. If there is creativity in the list, say if they use complex characteristics to determine wealth (estimates of stock value, maybe), then there could be. I probably shouldn't weight in on my thoughts on retention of this list, but I'm concerned about this list for other reasons. The Forbes List is annually updated. This list is likely to go out of date instantly. That could be remedied by clarity that it is the "50 Foo as of October 2015" but that only highlights the essential question: so what? What is the encyclopedic value of knowing the 50 Foo as of date? And what are the potential safety or privacy implications of having your name posted forever on a top 10 website in the world listing you as massively wealthy? Aside from the copyright concerns, I don't believe that this list should be included, unless it is a regularly updated feature. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:56, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • This page indicates the methodology employed by the magazine: "... put together over the course of the last year by a dedicated team of researchers... we have estimated the value of their assets, taken their shareholdings into account and projected a company value ... this is purely our estimate of the Gulf’s richest Indians". For me, that is clear indication of the publication's creativity in their list. AllyD ( talk) 20:45, 19 October 2015 (UTC) reply
  • That's creative compilation in a nutshell. The page has now been blanked with {{ copyvio}}, AllyD. If the determination is that the list is notable, we will have to turn into an article about the list, not a recreation of it. For those unfamiliar, see WP:TOP100.

    • We apply the same standard to all albums by all subjects. Look at Amy Grant (album), Daniel Amos (album) and First Hand (album). All pre-date the Internet and all have been reviewed at AllMusic because there is no question about the notability of the album or the subject. This album was an indie release and just like many bands' indie releases, is not notable. When it initially stated that it was from Warner Alliance, I expected to find more written about it, but the source you added cleared that up instantly. I also just checked the Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Christian Music (2001) and in its one-page entry on the band (what I qualify as notable) it only lists My Calm/Your Storm in the list of releases. It offers no details, which means that the editor's sources CCM Magagzine, Harvest Rock Syndicate and other publications didn't have anything on it.

I'm nominating this article for deletion as it presents a totally wrong explanation for how color works. In the first place, it is contrary to the quantum understanding of light waves, as photons do not interact (directly) with each other. Second, color is a psychological phenomenon that is created by the brain processing signals received from stimulated photosensitive cells of four different types, three kinds of cones and the rods, each type responding to a different spectrum of light wavelengths. Each cell only fires off a signal proportional to its response to an incoming wavelength; within the cells themselves there is no color discernment. Each photon has exactly one unique wavelength and photon responses are integrated over time, per the quantum nature of light. Color "happens" when the brain processes the different inputs, the proportions of the different stimuli dictating the colors we experience. This is the scientifically accepted explanation for how color works, without recourse to harmonics, and thus this article is completely bunk. TokyoJunkie ( talk) 02:59, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: @ Human3015: I don't believe the article can be improved because the entire premise of the article is an incorrect idea of how light works.

@ Human3015: What I'm saying is that the article cannot possibly be improved in any way. Rewriting it wouldn't actually be rewriting it at all, but rather writing a completely different, superfluous article with the correct conception. The resultant article would be unnecessary because it is already covered by other articles on physics and color perception. It is also not very well-sourced as far as I can tell, with only two sources that supposedly back up the physics claims and one that is related to computer graphics and not physics as such. The article is in line with WP:CB, it is only weakly verifiable, and furthermore it is not notable. The only part of it that makes any sense to me is the idea of color harmonies, but that is already covered in color theory and therefore I don't need to go over it here. I submit that I am possibly being overzealous and that some expert input is needed. But from my understanding of physics and color psychology, next to nothing is of value on this page, and what little there is that has value is already covered elsewhere.

  • Keep/TNT No rationale from nom to completely delete (= not wanting any article having to do with harmonic/ious colors). If the content is wrong on a faulty premise, dump the whole thing and rewrite from scratch. That a topic is already covered in a more general article ( Color theory#Color harmony) doesn't mean it cannot be split when exceptional separate notability is present. This book [28] on color (theory) among possibly others has a whole chapter on harmony of colors. 野狼院ひさし u/ t/ c 05:09, 18 October 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Hisashiyarouin: You know, that is a good point. Color harmony might just warrant a whole article of its own since it is a rather deep topic of study. Perhaps the article should be renamed to "Color harmony" with the existing text from the corresponding section in color theory as the foundation?

  • Delete Examining the cited sources, we have: a self-published blog (marrf), a political party "supporters' forum", and a book with a scholarly appearance (although from a publisher that, as of the publication date had "recently been restructured to include a self-publishing division"). Whether the book is a reliable source or not, its sole contribution to the article is the sentence, "1974:Maulana Abdur Rahim, a senior leader of the provincial party before 1971, returns to Dhaka."
Are there other sources out there that establish notability? The first deletion discussion identified none. Searches of the usual Google types, HighBeam, and JSTOR for this Abdur Rahim uncovered two positive matches and one possible one. [29] and [30] (which share an author, so are not independent of each other) each include one sentence about him:
  1. "Maulana Abdur Rahim, who was the first ameer of Jamaat in the then East Pakistan, was the brain behind the unity."
  2. "Taking advantage of this, Maulana Abdur Rahim, the first Jamaat ameer for East Pakistan, brought religion-based parties, including Jamaat, Nezam-e-Islam and Khelafat-i-Rabbani, under a common umbrella, Islamic Democratic League (IDL) on October 23, 1977."
[31] includes a "Maulana Abdur Rahim" in a list of war criminals. It is unclear whether it is the same person or not.
One or two independent, reliable, secondary sources with between them at most two sentences on the topic, does not prove that the subject has received significant coverage, so none of WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, WP:AUTHOR, or WP:ACADEMIC have been met. The article's original author has asserted in these deletion discussions that the subject is notable. No objection to userfication to let him continue looking for sources, but the article as it stands does not belong in mainspace. Worldbruce ( talk) 02:19, 10 October 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The sources listed above demonstrate that Abdur Rahim was a leading political figure in Bangladesh in the 1970s. Unless people here read Bengali and have consulted relevant Bengali sources, I would question the claim there is no indication of notability. The provided sources are enough to show he is notable and justify a stub article. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:39, 25 October 2015 (UTC) reply
