Too soon with only one role so far done as per
WP:TOOSOON and the most discussing part of this article is that it does not have even a single source. This means so sign of notability per
WP:N. The article was created on 17 July 2015 and I don't understand why didn't anybody watched this article for 1 and a half months and nominated the article for deletion.

Keep It all depends on what we want to consider "significant coverage".
this article in The Independent,
this feature on her in National Geographic,
this article in the Toronto Star, the Barcelona Metropolitan called her
"an acclaimed shoe historian", The Baltimore Sun interviewed her briefly in
this article, and finally
The New York Times has two paragraphs about her in
this article and quote her as stating that "she is the world authority on the history of shoe fashions". According to VADS, it
refers to her by name and title,
M.B.E., suggesting she's a
Dame. I wouldn't necessarily call this a home run, but perhaps in the niche world of shoemaking and history, she may be a prominent person.

As I have discussed elsewhere, I have a shortcut on my toolbar to take me to a random article in the category "British Women Writers". At the time of nomination, the article was
a single paragraph. I wouldn't call the sourcing "rather good" at all - it's quite thin and, as I said in the nomination, the article was not actually a biography. I expressed doubt as to whether we can create a good biography. Mkdw has done an admirable job of gathering sources, and so it seems likely that the article can be improved to an acceptable state.--

[5] - Mystery of the shoe in the wall, "The study of concealed shoes began in 1957 when June Swann, keeper of the boot and shoe collection at the Northampton Museum, and a fellow curator each received a half-dozen shoes for identification. Most had been hidden near chimneys. Swann could find no literature on shoes concealed in houses. She wrote in a 1996 article in Costume Society Journal about how her curiosity was piqued especially by the discovery of a pair of child's boots in the thatched roof of a cottage in Northamptonshire. "I had this vision of a tiny child on the thatched roof," Swann, now 79 and retired, told the Star, "and I wondered, `What kind of family does this?' ... Not being superstitious, it took me a long while to convince myself that all my finds were (put there deliberately)." "

Delete. I thought at first this was just a list of winners of a notable pageant, but it's apparently a separate award or recognition given by the pageant to former winners. At most the fact the award exists could be mentioned in the parent pageant article, but we should probably expect secondary coverage even for that, and a standalone list of all is excessive detail either way unless it could be shown that the award is independently notable. Otherwise such awards are arguably a form of puffery for the subjects ("look at how awesome we think our past winners are") and not encyclopedic information. Note that "unsourced" is not at all a valid deletion rationale, and I'd urge the nominator to stop including that irrelevant assertion in every deletion nomination, but to consider and discuss instead whether the information can be sourced, as is expected per

Promotional with borderline notability at best. Conceivably notable, though there is no evidence for that other than inclusion in a list of organisations. Until recently it was an inconspicuous factual article that might never have been noticed, but now expanded 500% into a absurdly over-detailed promotional press release. If there is any actual source for notability, it could of course be trimmed back and protected against the addition of such material. .
(A listing in the infobox such as the present Employees: 51-200 is a sure sign of being taken from a database that just puts the material submitted by the organisations into categories without critical review. I've been noticing similar elsewhere, and all such articles need to be looked at. ) DGG (

Soft keep Here's the issue I'm seeing with this one: it's a Norwegian company based in Norway and most of the good, reliable sources you'll find might be in Norwegian. You can look at the company's
Google News listing and see a bunch of Norwegian-language sources. The article as it stands doesn't have any references, but I'm sure there's something in those Norwegian sources to be found. Even a basic Google web search brings up a ton of Norwegian language sources. My argument isn't that the company appears in Google searches, it's that the company appears extensively in Norwegian language websites. Of course, this is a "soft keep" because I don't know how good those Norwegian sources are, and it doesn't appear that anyone's actually looked into those sources.

Msnicki (
talk) 20:03, 28 August 2015 (UTC)reply
All three references in question were chosen because there were feature articles in high-circulation newspapers/magazines written by staff journalists. Don't worry, there were ample to chose between. They are all lengthy articles (Kongsnes for instance is 430 words in length) and none are, as you claim, "routine coverage of the company's press releases". There is no requirement that notability be established through the use of English-language sources nor that it be available online. To quote
WP:N, "Sources do not have to be available online or written in English." Arsenikk(talk) 20:57, 31 August 2015 (UTC)reply
My objection has nothing to do with the language or whether the source is online or not. It has everything to do with the poor quality of the sources you've offered. They appear to me to be routine coverage of the company's press releases. Note, for example, that they are very heavy on quotes from the principals, always suggestive that the material is just routine coverage.
Per
WP:CORPDEPTH, Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization. Acceptable sources under this criterion include all types of reliable sources except works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as: ... brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business, simple statements that a product line is being sold, changed, or discontinued, ... quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources.
And from
WP:ORGIND, Sources used to support a claim of notability include independent, reliable publications in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations[3] except for the following: ... other works in which the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself—whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people.
I appreciate that you disagree and you have a right to your opinion but I have a right to mine as well. I am simply not convinced by your sources. You do what you like but I'm still !voting delete.

reply here 01:54, 1 September 2015 (UTC)reply
As stated, all three articles are staff-written, signed articles. None of them bear sign of being rewritten press releases. The first two are feature-like, i.e. they are telling a broad story without much "newness", while Lyche's article is a clear news story. Kongsnes is 430 words and entirely dedicated to telling the story of the company. It goes to a fair detail through the company's history, business model, recent development and future plans. It is as objective as any normal newspaper article, with no particular bias either for or against the company. This article is exactly the kind of coverage which WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND is claiming establishes notability. Okkelmo is 1722 words, and a general coverage of Norwegian companies expanding to the UK. About a fifth of the article is dedicated to the company in question. Again, it presents a general history of the company and aspects related to the UK expansion. I used it as a reference because it had relevant information, not because it necessarily in itself establishes notability. I have added two more references, with Stenseng being 936 words and Edvardsen being 517. Again, staff-written, signed feature articles giving a presentation of the company, its production, operations, history and plans. Arsenikk(talk) 22:46, 2 September 2015 (UTC)reply
An article that's only 430 or even 1722 words (especially when only about 350 of them are about the subject) and only tells just the kind of stuff a company would report on its "about us" page or in a press release is not "feature-like". More important, to be a
WP:SECONDARY source, it must provide the author's own thinking and the author's interpretation, analysis, or evaluation of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas. What you've described doesn't do that.

I think it would be of some value here if people were aware that Dagens Næringsliv and Stavanger Aftenblad, to mention two of the sources used, practice what has become the widespread norm over here namely to

Keep per
WP:PTM which expressly allows entries "if the article's subject (or the relevant subtopic thereof) could plausibly be referred to by essentially the same name as the disambiguated term in a sufficiently generic context" - That's exactly the case here:
Tijuana Municipality, may be referred to as Tijuana without the "municipality", both by being uncertain about the exact location within or outside the actual city limits, or by talking about the region, including area more than just the city
Tijuana metropolitan area, similar to the above, saying like "Greater Tijuana" or the "Tijuana region" has x inhabitants, for example, omitting the awkward "metropolitan area" or just the "metropolitan" part for brevity
Tijuana River, rivers are many times referred to as "the [river name]" as in "The Tijuana flows into the Pacific Ocean."
Keep per Kraxler; I've reformatted the page as a dab page where there exists a primary topoic.

There is nothing to write in here I guess. Recently I was in a school and a friend of mine was teaching kids programming with Arendelle. I remember they were motivated by their teachers that if you code good maybe your year photo goes to Wikipedia. I understand your concerns. Well Arendelle is a tool used in some schools and universities here in Iran. Some stuff like
flowgorithm or the book
Create your own programming language... likes it (if you know about computing you sure know about
CoffeeScript or maybe
Fancy they are both featured in the book as well as Arendelle. And at least Coffee is one of the most important languages around. And honestly I bet if you search web you don't find anything. Really do a search, search "Fancy Language" and only thing you find is this link:
http://rubini.us/2011/02/23/introduction-to-fancy/ but that doesn't mean it's cheap. It's worthless or something. I know many people who code in Fancy. Fancy is in GitHub's official languages and it is RosettaCode. For a language you really need nothing more than having one of these to say it's popular. But I remember I tried to fix the book (
https://www.gitbook.com/book/kary/infancy/details) as there was nothing to read about and for god's sake review their references) and it Arendelle there are books, a hell lots of compilers and interpreters (even most of the coolest languages have one, there are 3 for Arendelle. nothing not well known reaches this) and there are so many stuff written for Arendelle that even the most famous ones don't. I may be emotional about Arendelle because I'm a part of the project but seriously if you know or knew anything about languages you could never find it "not notable". I'm sad that the page is going to be lost because I've seen people getting to excited about it. For our not well know community it was such a confidence and now that it is going to be done I feel we may even face serious consequences and well maybe those kiddos never find themselves in Wikipedia.
P.S[ 1 ]: References for Arendelle are the best. Because they are "Official References" for it. A language is not something you do blogs, press and books for it's features or stuff. A language is a "standard" and you have to check the official standard reference for it. Arendelle's features are written on standard formats is it's book, it's website, and most importantly it's source code. If I write a blog or CNET do it, non of them are even reliable for understanding Arendelle. And well if you just check the article there is nothing as "OMG Arendelle is soooooo coool!! it has this or that, just 34.34$" even Apple page has that but if you just check Arendelle's page you see nothing but some technical details about Arendelle. I'm sure people who wrote the document and me are all Arendelle super fans, but honestly, it's one of the most impartially written Wiki pages, I don't see even see adjectives but stuff like domain-specific which are language attributes. So I think for that matter the references are not just fine, but the best possible. (For just a sec, Imagine there is this giant page about an ISO standard, and the references are press and media... I have nothing more to say). just once try Arendelle or something else and after you know programming you will never say that the references are bad.
P.S[ 2 ]: I don't know if you ever had people who look up to you. But here there are. And after Arendelle being destroyed they will all just think "What they do is not important" and well next time I see them I can tell that well that
something as trying so hard to be able to expose nudity is important but well what you do is exactly marked "meaningless" and "not notable". Honestly I didn't even care about a page like this on the web. But well I wrote all this because I just started thinking that was the most offensive way to call something or someone "not notable", at least change the name or something.

Thechosendragon,
Dukehamid: this is not about whether you
like the topic of the article under discussion. If you want to salvage it, come up with reliable sources to establish notability.

However I don't think this page ever gets to live and I don't have the energy to help that. Go on delete it. Arendelle also is in other pages try not to forgot to remove those. I've spent past week keeping the page safe. Talking to others, fixing what they thought was bad for wikipedia and I'm tired now. I think Arendelle has more and more reliable notable sources than many other pages. (make sure you read my first comment). and that was all I had to say. I hope that you can dream. Have fun cleaning...
Karux, there's nobody here that particularly wants to delete the article, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not everything in the world is a suitable topic. Specifically subjects must be
notable in Wikipedia's special sense. This does not mean subjects failing those criteria are worthless, just that they don't meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. For software, there are further guidelines at
WP:NSOFT. What we need is for someone, who is a reliable source, other than the people intimately involved in the project, to establish its notability. Surely if this is worth an encyclopedia article someone will have written about it. Primary sources are not generally acceptable, except for basic facts - for example question regarding the syntax of the language. But other that *you're* assertion, and you're admitted not being impartial, why should there be an article?

There is plenty of coverage for notable languages like java, swift, C, and so on.

I clearly vote to Keep. Clearly this press is important as seen by the Nebraska Arts Council (whose mission is to cultivate the literary arts in Nebraska) as evidenced by their numerous awards to them. This press successfully balances a mission that supports his state's artistic and cultural goals, while reaching out to the larger, national literary community by publishing significant authors as recognized by the national literary community. It also publishes new and emerging authors and fosters the literary arts in Nebraska and throughout the region. If there is an issue here of finding secondary sources, it is only because poetry and literary don't often "make the news," but that does not mean that literary culture is not notable within the community. The Backwaters Press is without a doubt notable to all authors within Nebraska and surrounding areas and to anyone who cares about the literary community and traditions of the Great Plains. Not only is Backwaters Press notable in itself. It is notable for serving an important cultural mission. Please keep this entry. Thank you.

Keep What is a poetry press? Is it to be judged by
WP:ORG? Or by
WP:CREATIVE. I argue for something more like the later. (and, yes, I am aware of

This article is largely sourced with articles about the awards its books have won. I believe that the fact that it has been so successful in choosing and producing notable books, should persuade us to keep this article. Back to reality and the standard criteria for a keep. This award
[14] along with material from the Nebraska Arts Council and Project Muse are persuasive. Along with the fact that the founding editor of the press is a writer of independent notability

Comment - I created this page ages ago, along with the other various Squeeze singles. Notable band, notable album, but as far as I can tell this single never charted, despite being later included on several "hits" compilations. I'll defer to others to judge whether there could be enough substance here to justify retaining the page.

No overall notability for a stand-alone article. She was not even in the top 10 of the oldest women in the world of all, and only the 10th-oldest French person ever (she was briefly the oldest French person). She was once the oldest woman from the French possession of Reunion (now Maria Diaz but this is an island with a population of less than 900k in 2013) and the second oldest African person of all time. The actual sourced and relevant contents of any biography on her would be her birth and death dates and location information (the remaining ranking details are basically

Ronen Shilo and the related entry for

I found another interview with Shilo on
Pando Daily, a prominent tech website with well regarded journalism. Added it to the sandbox draft. I have reached out to friends who can do searches on Google's Hebrew version. It is hard to believe he could lead the largest Internet company and second largest technology company in Israel without attracting extensive personal profiles press, but that seems to be the case. He wrote a essay in
Fast Company about why he avoided the press.[1]BC1278 (
talk) 00:52, 22 August 2015 (UTC)BC1278reply
comment: As per
WP: NOTABILITY "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." According to this essay in Fast Company,[1] Shilo intentionally avoided the press, even though he runs the largest Internet company in Israel (second largest tech company), which when it had 100 million users was the 29th most popular site on the entire Internet, and peaked at 260 million users. The website had more users than Twitter at the time. He maintained majority ownership of his company, which was valued at $1.3 billion. See
Conduit (company) for citations for all of the prior information. While it appears to me like he's only consented to one in-depth profile (in Hebrew), I did find may sources where he speaks to the press about his company, finance, Israel and technology. e.g. the
Wall Street Journal[2] (“Conduit’s vision is to grow the company and keep the headquarters in Israel,” Conduit CEO Ronen Shiloh said. “We want to be a global Internet company. Having a company at this stage that’s all Israelis is overall better for the state of Israel.”),
Financial Times[3] ("Short-term investments have gained Israel a second nickname, “Quick-Sell Nation,” said Ronen Shilo, founder and CEO of Conduit, which recently became Israel’s first billion-dollar Internet company."),
Inc. Magazine[4] ("As part of our series on entrepreneurs whose companies are worth $1 billion, Inc staff writer Jeremy Quittner spoke with Shilo about his billion-dollar valuation, the social worth of a company, and doing the laundry."),
Haaretz[5] (Four Reasons Not to Hate Israel's Big Business Tycoons, "...Ronen Shilo (Conduit) [has] in fact shunned the quick buck of an M&A deal and stayed the course.").
Comment - I only see the above as proving how the CEO is not independently notable from the company he ran. I just don't see enough here to meet GNG, something mixed with rather slanderous accusations above. Either way, I just don't see how Wikipedia needs this suite of articles on a fairly narrow subject.
Ronen Shilo,
Perion Network,
Conduit (publisher network and platform),
the now deleted Como page,
Conduit (company)--just feels like spam to me. Of them all, Shilo is the least notable.
Grump International (

User: Graeme Bartlett decided to split
Conduit (company) and
Conduit (publisher network and platform) into separate articles. Conduit was a bigger platform than Twitter, by monthly users, just a couple of years back and has been the subject of hundreds of news articles.
Conduit (publisher network and platform) is defunct as part of Conduit, but the admin wished to preserve it because the article has attracted dozens of editors over many years. It needs a massive clean up and could also exist in the history section of the company.
Perion Network is a separate, publicly traded NASDAQ company that acquired a large asset from Conduit. It's pretty obviously notable as a NASDAQ company. As for
Ronen Shilo, I won't repeat myself again, but obviously the CEOs of large and important companies (e.g. like Conduit, the second largest technology company in Israel just a year ago and one of the top 30 websites in the world, according to Google) who have been written about widely (if not deeply), are in a very different category than the CEOs of small companies that just barely qualify as notable. As I've been open about my COI, and made no direct edits on
Ronen Shilo or on any of these articles, I'd request that user
User: Grump International please reveal his/her primary Wikipedia account(s) so we can check if they've been one of the attackers rebuffed by admins over the years on this and the Conduit article, as bias will affect consensus.
User: Grump International has used this account for just a year to write articles about a small Florida real estate broker, a single condominium building, and a minor architect and it's just very hard to assume good faith given that their Wikipedia skill level could not have been achieved with these simple edits. I could understand the motivation of a purist intent on Wikipedia being used for articles about only the most important of people in the world, but not the nominator, who used this small account to contribute substantially to obviously promotional articles like
Vanessa Grout, a very minor, unknown real estate broker in south Florida. And yet is challenging an article about the CEO and founder of one of the largest Internet companies in the world. So knowing the editor's main account(s) seems relevant.

You can read the details of the nominator's undisclosed COI editing here:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Brickell_Flatiron An admin on the
WP:COIN board immediately placed two of
User: Grump International's promotional articles up for speedy deletion and Grump did not contest in either case. All Grump's contributions, except for two minor revisions, prior to the nomination of the Shilo article, fall into the COI category. The COI investigation into Grump on the COIN board continues. Grump's use of Wikipedia to advance undisclosed personal agendas is clear. Grump's nomination and opinion should not count toward consensus.
BC1278 (
talk) 20:09, 29 August 2015 (UTC)BC1278reply
Again, I suggest you stop bullying other users. No COI was found; the articles were deleted for CRYSTAL, not COI (and were prodded, not put up for speedy deletion--and one of the two was fairly quickly de-prodded by other editors as even under CRYSTAL the article was notable; additionally, I did not write that article myself, only made a minor edit). I did not contest because they were right. You, however, as you can see from my previous sentence, are incorrect. I read your sandbox; still recommend deletion.
Grump International (
talk) 16:22, 31 August 2015 (UTC)reply
User: Grump International's use of this account as an undisclosed COI is self-evident - just read the
WP:COIN complain above. The formal adjudication on the account will take some time, but corrective action on two articles was taken immediately. Other experience editors, not me, described the user's contributions as "blatant[ly] promotion"
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Brickell_Flatiron by
User:Nagle and "borderline spam"
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Grump_International&diff=677850261&oldid=677824535 by
B137 Note that Grump deleted from their Talk page the comment from
B137 that their contribution was both a NPOV violation and borderline spam. I bring all this up because the user has a clear history of undisclosed COI editing and bias, plus the use of a "near single-purpose account" with very Wikipedia few edits prior to this deletion nomination despite very sophisticated Wikipedia mark up and policy skills picked up on undisclosed account(s) (i.e. a probable sock puppet) --- so their opinion should not count toward consensus on this article. This and a related article cited above has had a history of attacks over several years, prompting protected and semi-protected status. Calling out Grump's undisclosed COI account challenging a frequently attacked article and related subject is not harassment because it is directly relevant to whether their opinion counts toward consenses. Why was an editor with just a few small edits at the time patrolling other articles for deletion and "news release" flagging
Conduit (company)? Given the Grump account had no recorded interaction with other editors
BC1278 (
talk) prior to this deletion nomination, where did they learn their Wikipedia mark up and policy skills? Since some of their own handful of contributions have been challenged as "blatant promotion", "spam" and violating NPOV, why does Grump feel qualified to weigh in here at all, unless this account is a sock for a main account where they have much more experience? 18:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)BC1278reply
You know this is a deletion debate about Ronen Shilo, right? You have lost your battle at COIN, and have not evidence of sockpuppetry, because, alas, no such thing has occurred. I highly suggest you stop bullying others and being addressing the problems with the articles you have taken an interest in. Again, I see no reason why Shilo is independently notable from Conduit, and thus there is no reason for Wikipedia to have an article about him.
Grump International (
talk) 20:29, 31 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Your history of undisclosed COI editing is highly relevant because it indicated your opinion here should not count toward consensus. The COI discussion as to your account and articles is ongoing at
Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Brickell_Flatiron. An editor on that board has just been notified that you removed a proposed deletion tag on an article you created about a proposed condominium that he deemed "blatantly promotional" - you added new material but left in all the promotional spam. Your promotional edit to
Brickell Flatiron was removed entirely. The editors on WP:COIN will reach consensus on what to do with your account and contributions with time. It's not an instant decision. In the meantime, your history of what several editors have now characterized as inserting promotional material and spam into articles (the definition of COI) makes it clear to me at least, that you do not disclose personal bias and are likely to have one here, too.

Comments above by
Spetsnaz1991 are misguided. Current consensus is that NFOOTY is only satisfied by participation in contental competition when the player in question has played firstly in the competition proper and secondly is involved in a match between two clubs both from
fully professional leagues.
Furthermore, the argument that
Shirak is a professional club is irrelevant. NFOOTY is clear that professionalism needs to be "full" and that full professionalism needs to be league wide and there is no consensus at
WP:FOOTY that the Armenian league is fully professional.
The only sources provided are to player databases that do not provide significant coverage and therefore do not support GNG.

Strong delete. Not only is this original research, it also misrepresents the contents of cited sources. I checked two of the cited sources for their applicability to the referenced material. Reclaiming the Game: College Sports and Educational Values only mentions anxiety in passing, in a different context than discussed here (specifically, admissions), and makes no mention of anxiety disorders whatsoever. Perhaps more critically, the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology paper, "The role of approach-avoidance versus task and ego goals in enjoyment and cognitive anxiety in youth sport" (available
here via ResearchGate) is a fairly technical paper about the effects of various approach-avoidance goals on anxiety measures. Despite its use in this article, it says literally nothing about medical or psychological treatment for anxiety whatsoever. I have no opinion as to whether an article on this topic is possible; this article, however, can only be deleted.

Sarfaraz Ahmed Rafiqui (who is documented at that article to have won the award). The Rafiqui article had recently (on 18 Aug 2015) been altered to add "Khawaja Younis Hassan Shaheed" to Rafiquis name (leading to a very long eight-part name, excessive even by Pakistani standards) with no source quoted for the addition.

Interesting
User:[email protected] that you say the attack on the train travelling from Paris-Amsterdam was stopped by "four Americans". As '
2015_Thalys_train_attack#Passengers_involved makes clear, those awarded the Legion of Honour were actually three Americans and one British man, and the other passengers which prevented the attack were actually four French people (including a dual citizen). I can only assume you are an American wishing to confirm many national stereotypes? I also find it interesting that when "Americans stop a Jihadist" you feel that is "exceptional" and worthy of an article, but anything happening in the Global South probably is not.

Delete. None of the claims in the article rise to the level of establishing notability as we generally consider it, and I'm not entirely certain that the references provide significant coverage in reliable sources even for those claims. Also, this article's creator is associated with some
problematic contributions; although this one does appear to use references that actually mention the subject, I'll note that the image is up for speedy deletion at Commons as a mis-attributed copyright violation. All told, I don't think this meets

Delete - Based on source verification, does not meet GNG because of
WP:NOTINHERITED. This article is being used as a central dump point for tangentially connected items and events related to the article subject, but the subject himself is not notable because of the related coverage. The two Monitor sources only give trivial mention to al-Bazi for quotes and brief overview; there's no real bio in either case, and the actual "depth of coverage" is on his school (in the Christian Science Monitor case), and on education in a refugee camp he is managing (in the Al-Monitor). Kember's book is about Kember (
per Amazon), not al-Bazi (unclear from title alone), and is used to mention the church's demographics, not explicitly al-Bazi - possible
synthesis there. Lastly, the BBC World Service is a radio program, of which the first eight minutes of the overall hour is given over to al-Bazi's kidnapping, which occurred in 2006, nowhere close to the church coverage in 2010 or the BBC coverage in 2015. In that instance, it's maybe BLP1E for the kidnapping (though one news report isn't depth of coverage either).

No change from previous vote - there are now 13 sources. The first source is the aforementioned radio program, most of which is about the church. 2 and 8 are the aforementioned Monitors. 3 is the Catholic Review, where the ransom claim is, but al-Bazi gets less mention than the other guy. 4 is still Kember. 5 is about the kidnapping, 6 through 10 are really about "Christians in the Middle East." 11 is in Italian, but they spoke to Bashar Warda about the camp, and al-Bazi isn't mentioned - it's also short. 12 is also very short. 13 isn't really all that much more informative than 3 Most of the coverage is about the camp/center that he happens to run. I'm also going to state that I think E.M.Gregory is sourcing everything from this BBC program and then adding sources that have al-Bazi mentioned in it to try to show coverage when those claims do not appear in those sources. Still not notable.

Nothing has changed in the sourcing from my previous comment other than E.M.Gregory removed all the failed verification tags and cited something else to a source in which it does not appear. The sourcing problems still exist. By the way, the whole reason I verify sources is because AfD voters look at source titled and figure they're OK because the publication is OK. The problem here is that the source does not say what the source is claimed to say.

Reply - Well, honestly, it's hard to say; the 2006 kidnapping of the article subject I think should be Taliban, not ISIS, based on timeframe, and it's never specified as to who did it. The refugee camp stuff is not related to the kidnapping, and refers to Christians as refugees, but (as best as the sources for this article say) not specifically to who or what caused them to be there. So I think we have a SYNTH problem if we try to put it anywhere without proof of such, and nowhere we can put everything. To be fair, though, I'm concerned myself with sources already here, and haven't looked for other sources which might offer some corroboration, although you'd think at least one out of 13 (at last count) would.

Here
[20] is a simple news google search on : Douglas al Bazi Irbil. Many, many articles describing his refugee work, especially in the Polish, Spanish and Italian press. DWhether he knows more languages, or gives a better interview, or runs a better refugee camp than others who have set up refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan I do not know. But he has clearly become something of a public figure. Perhaps journalists like the idea of a man kidnapped and beaten by Islamists in 2006, now running a refugee camp for people fleeing ISIS-style Islamism in Iraq. Note that i did not create this article. I found it at AFD and did as I regularly do , i.e., I checked the Nom's assertion that "My searches found nothing." And when my searches instantly found a lot, I sourced the article. To me, this is a no-brainer: when a guy has sources like this, his page is a keeper.

Please withdraw that accusation, you have made it repeatedly. In fact, any editor who takes the time to review my edits will see that I added new sources when I added points of information found in those edits, changing the article as I went along. And, sometimes, adding a second or third source, when I happened to find a second or third source for a particular aspect of his career. I had never heard of Al Bazi before I happened on this AFD. OF COURSE I searched for information on him. That's what I do at AFD. In this case, I found so much, that over the course of a week or so, I went back and improved the article.
E.M.Gregory (

I will not withdraw an accusation based firmly on what the sources say, and to which you were unable to respond when asked other than to make some vague assertion of "I had no idea". You did not add "sources", you added "titles you found on Google" because if you had read the sources, you would have seen (as I did) that the material cited to those sources did not appear therein. What you actually did was listen to the BBC interview, write it out, and
WP:COATRACK that information with other places where al-Bazi's name appeared as a search result. There's no other other possibility, as details you cited to sources simply weren't in those sources, but they were in the BBC interview. Don't attack me personally on my due diligence because you failed to do yours. Also, hard ot AGF on "expanding sources" when editors had to fix all your work before you gave in and did so.
MSJapan (

During the AFD of an article I did not create, I sought additional information about AlBazi, addit it with sources, and also added multiple sources to aspects of his career. You, on the other hand, !voted to delete the article, then deleted reliable sources supporting notability, and made inaccurate statements (i.e. - actually went to an administrators personal talk page to assert that the $170,000 ransom was not supported by sources.

WP:GNG, one of many cases of an article written about a statistical rivalry, rather than a tangible rivalry. The only reference which actually describes DC vs LA as a pair of combatants is
routive coverage in the lead-up to a game, and it makes no mention of a rivalry – it merely describes the successes of the two clubs. The other references support different facts which have been put in the article, but the author is just using those facts to synthesize or exaggerate a rivalry which doesn't appear to exist.

This article appears to have been compiled from a series of brief mentions in the various references provided. It does not appear to satisfy
WP:NACADEMICS or
WP:BIO based on the information provided. I don't believe that being given a Fullbright Scholar grant is a 'highly prestigious academic award' (criteria #2) or that the books he has written are 'academic work that has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions' (criteria #4).

WP:TNT. Article was good at some undeterminable point (it had several hundred edits in its first week or so, all by the article creator/main contributor). Just to give an idea of the subject, this is a village of 227 people. There are four or five times more edits to the article than the population of the place. Anyhow, I found this due to
an SPI. It appears that the article creator (who GA-nommed the article) and the account who passed it (
User:JSWho) are likely to be related. From his contribs, JSWho commented on an AfD of a company owned by one "F. Valzano" and passed the GA on this article for his second edit, then disappeared until the AfD.
Because of the suspicious nom, I sent the article to
GA reassessment. At that time, my due diligence found that a portion of the history section failed verification to any of the sources listed for it (which were
in the article prior to the GA nom). As a matter of fact
this diff when the article was a week or so old has the right source for the information, but that only verifies a small piece. It also took me a half-hour of stepping through diffs to find said information, and there are hundreds of edits prior to this diff where other factual info changed. Given the inappropriate GA nom, the lack of interest in a community reassessment to avoid delisting, and the sheer amount of time it's going to take to source existing prose as opposed to using the sources (some of the older of which
other users cleaned out two weeks after the GA passed as not meeting RS), I would like the article nuked.

Comment:
WP:TNT appears to be a view not a guideline. Deleting something might be appropriate if the information is considered to created in bad faith and to be wrong to a significant degree. In this case the town exists and there is no reason to believe that the creator does not believe all the info to be correct, even though it is poorly sourced and is disproportionate in some sense. It is fairly harmless and it does not appear to me to favour any substantial commercial interest, rather it is the work of a local enthusiast. I'm not sure why we need to discourage these efforts so much. Certainly if it was nuked it would never be recreated in any substantial form.--
Grahame (

Reply I actually am going to recreate it, but it's easier to work from scratch from the sources than to try to figure out what's right and what isn't - there are too many minor edits in too short a time to ascertain what's correct and what isn't. As I noted, it took me a half hour to binary search down just one source change, and there's a lot more that simply doesn't match with what's there, so I'm basically hamstrung by the prose at this point.

Comment There's currently an on-going discussion at
User:Doc James/Paid editing#7. Delete articles by paid editors following the
Orangemoody case whereby the hundreds of articles created were
deleted and some re-created. The use of
WP:TNT is being widely talked about as being needed as a deletion rationale to respond to paid-editing that intentionally abuses the system. If large scale rings like this suffer only blocks but their work remains in place, then these professional attempts at getting around the system will easily find ways to hop IPs meanwhile their "product" is still delivered or salvageable. TNT right now may be an uncommon deletion rationale because the issue isn't notable versus not notable. The problem isn't necessarily
WP:SURMOUNTABLE because the problem doesn't lie with the content but rather the creators/writers. These policies have never factored in what the community needs to do to shut down mass paid editing abuses.

Keep, "fundamentally fixable". I came here because of the mention in
User:Doc James/Paid editing#7. Delete articles by paid editors, but I disagree there is a similarity to Orangemoody. This looks more like we have a goodfaith editor who like many newbies may not have yet grasped all our policies, demonstrating NPOV and verifiability by improving the article would be a good thing, deleting or stubbing it rather less so. No onjection to TNT being used where we have an article written by someone caught adding falsehood or editing for pay, I just don't see either of those justifications even alleged re this article.

I originally tagged this for speedy deletion as
WP:CSD#A1 (no context), as there is no indication what this "Friendly Cup" is supposed to be. There is no indication of a "Friendly Cup" played at a level of competition that would involve these teams.

Speedy delete as obvious hoax. As an additional information,
Friendly Cup 2 has just been created a few minutes ago. I speedied that article and gave the user in question a warning to refrain from such creations in the future. –

Speedy delete as obvious hoax. I've tagged it as such and will let another admin decide.

Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails
WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. This remains valid.

Delete per
WP:NFOOTY. Note: Some web sources show him as being signed to
FC Energie Cottbus, a fully-professional-league team. But
soccerway.com, which is already on the article page, clarifies that he had "0 appearances" and "0 minutes played" for that team.

Delete and Redirect to
SV Babelsberg 03 Any coverage that appears in a
WP:BEFORE search appears to be routine coverage of matches and does not discuss the subject in depth.

Comment - Given how clear the consensus is, an admin should be able to come in and quickly resolve this.

I would endorse
WP:SNOW as well, but unlike, say, a borderline-BLP-issue or suspected-copyvio page, there is no hurry, so I won't complain if an admin waits the full 7*24 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds before closing this. However, unless something changes soon, he shouldn't wait much longer.

Delete - Fails
WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a
fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy
GNG.
