The result was delete. Seems like nothing here has people convinced that the topic meets notability criteria. The pageant itself might be notable, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 09:40, 25 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Jessica Casebolt

Casebolt was Miss Kentucky. That is the only claim that comes close to notability and that is not enough. I looked for more sources, and did not find anything. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:31, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Johnpacklambert: I see that you again have avoided putting an edit summary in the AfD nomination in the article diff. Why do you keep doing this if you hide in the darkness? There is nothing in this article worthy of deletion. All Miss Kentucky's satisfy WP:ANYBIO#1. Unscintillating ( talk) 02:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Unscintillating ( talk) 02:10, 19 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete -- coverage is all local as in "local person gets award"; nothing stands out about this contestant and a state-level pageant win is an insufficient claim to notability. K.e.coffman ( talk) 01:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Except that Miss Kentucky is a well-known and widely recognized (recognized world-wide?) award, recognized for many years as one of the ways to compete in the annual Miss America pageant, and sufficiently significant as an award that once achieved identifies a person for the rest of their career.

And your !vote doesn't deny that the topic passes WP:GNG? Unscintillating ( talk) 05:05, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete Fails GNG and BLP. Insufficient coverage of this subject to merit an article on Wikipedia per GNG. There is only meagre coverage by a few local news outlets essentially reporting only that she won Miss Kentucky 2012. --- Steve Quinn ( talk) 02:33, 22 December 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment Unscintillating had the audacity of accusing me of "engaging in personal attacks" on my talk page, when here he claims I "hide in darkness" when in fact I post notices to the pages that clearly indicate to anyone who actually goes to the page it has been nominated for deletion. Unscintalating continues to try to bully those who dare have a different vision for inclusion in Wikipedia than he does, and to make totally false claims about what fits any bio. Winning a US-state level beauty pageant is not a high award of the type any bio refers to. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 02:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete - Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Aside from winning a beauty pageant and receiving the customary local news coverage, there isn't much to support a Wikipedia article. Magnolia677 ( talk) 03:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Well, one remedy for that is to look for sources. The second is to consider the WP:ATD, for example, is there a possibility of merge to create a mini-bio at a suitable target? Unscintillating ( talk) 04:07, 24 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete I'm inclined to agree that the coverage is WP:ROUTINE about the beauty pageant. I see no lasting effects of this event or in terms of notability for this individual. Mkdw ^talk 01:33, 24 December 2016 (UTC) reply

We have no article on Miss Kentucky 2012, and arguing against the notability of this event is a straw man. The last clause switches from the straw man to stating without further development that the individual Jessica Casebolt fails Wikipedia notability as an event. Those two conclusions are irrelevant. But even if we consider Jessica Casebolt as a non-notable event, where is the analysis of the WP:ATD; i.e., what about volunteering to do the work to merge the material to a mini-bio at a suitable target such as Miss Kentucky? Also, did you look for sources? Unscintillating ( talk) 04:07, 24 December 2016 (UTC) reply

I think you should read WP:BLP1E, a policy, not a guideline or essay, before you imply people are making straw man arguments. The individual is literally (from the sources) only known for having won this event which against BLP1E is why there's so much focus on the event in this discussion -- and not because of straw man arguments about inherent notability.

The result was delete. Seems like the article as-is does not meet notability due to weak sourcing and no good sources were found. Also, what is a "notable source"? Notability does not apply to individual sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 09:42, 25 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Harris Schachter

References given appear to consist of blogs or to places where the subject may have self-assert "expert" status that lacks independence from the subject.

Reduced citations to half. References are from third-party publishers, "expert" status given by independent sources rather than individual.

Re:WP:GNG - Pre GUidelines: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline

All cited sources are from third parties. "Significant coverage" - No other individuals by the name Harris Schachter exist "Reliable" - Editorial integrity is established by secondary sources "Sources" - No duplicate sources are cited "Independent of the subject" - None of the sources cited are works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it "Presumed" - Subject has significant coverage from reliable sources

Delete I might be convinced to change if someone were to find more solid reliable sources showing his notability, but I didn't find them. Part of the problem seems to be that since his professional area of expertise is online matters: blogging, social media, search engine optimization, etc., many of the sources are themselves social media. What do we do with an online interview (basically a blog) about him being a successful blogger? Meters ( talk) 03:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply

(And that is a good question... The Wikipedian in me says, "Is the source subject to editorial oversight and fact checking? If not, then it is only a series of personal observations." And while that may be fine for referencing minor personal information in an article whose subject has had its notability established by other sources, it isn't useful for substantiating that notability. Or so I sense it to work. KDS4444 ( talk) 01:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)) reply

Weak Delete, not seeing any RS establishing notability, but am open to be convinced, lets see some RS. Slatersteven ( talk) 15:49, 20 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep Provided sources satisfy WP:GNG definition of "reliable" as they are all third party sources. Simple Google search of subject reveals significantly more sources and notability. This is an objective page describing the career of an un-ambiguous personality.

Justine Hardy

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The references included here don't seem to support a notability claim. They include several references to the subject's own web site, to the blogs of other writers, to her speaker's engagement biography, notices of her having been runner-up for some awards, and to various other Internet pages with no named author and which may not be independent of the subject. If this is the best that can be done, then she doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO. KDS4444 ( talk) 22:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep I think the profile here best describes why she is notable. I would be happy to try and improve on the references. I think a hasty XFD ignores the fact that she is a British journalist with six published books, all of which have been translated into 9 different languages. She has been a contributing writer for BBC, the Financial times, and Vanity Fair. As the creator of the page I will do my best to improve upon what I've already added to the page. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 03:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC) reply

ReSec Technologies

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Everything listed is literally what only they would advertise about themselves and this includes the sheer fact it goes to specifics about its funding and financials, the fact the awards are so trivial as "Companies not yet notable" and we all know that certainly means enough; the sources found are then literally published-republished PR and also then overfocus with the company's own financial specifics once again; it's clear this only exists as a business listing hence WP:NOT applies since we make no compromises with such sheer blatancy at all. It's quite clear someone involved or otherwise influenced by the company itself started this considering the "services" section is in fact the largest, therefore we have all that's needed to delete as advertising. To state the obvious, not one single source is in fact substantial as it's all still literally publishes and republished company words. SwisterTwister talk 22:12, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Doesn't seem particularly notable, most refs are from the company. Frood 22:16, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete The Entrepeneur story was primarily about finding an office phone system, not about US Mobile itself. The PC Magazine story was fine, but it's just one brief story about a small company -- not enough to indicate notability. I can't read the WSJ story because of the paywall, but judging by the title and tagline, I'd guess it's more about Connecticut's startup scene broadly rather than specifically about US Mobile. I can't find any other decent coverage on Google. There's just not enough significant coverage here for an article. - IagoQnsi ( talk) 22:57, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia official, one of the Five Pillars principles in this article first violated. According to the article, "May 18, 1992, was occupied by the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia. Two days later, a group of people in Lachin Kurdish declaration of the Republic." After all, one of 70 people to organize the collection is not enough.

There is no need to doubt. Kurds had left the territory with Azerbaijanis during the occupation of Lachin. For this reason, it is impossible to prove the existence of the so-called lack of social base. Because of the Kurdish population, together with Azerbaijanis became refugees from the occupied territories. Moreover, the Azerbaijani population of the region in terms of the Kurdish population was not much to say. Article 6 languages does not mean its Encyclopedic. English Wikipedia articles based on the article is a stub. In other words, this is no encyclopedic articles does not matter. -- Sultan11 ( talk) 20:26, 3 December 2016 (UTC) reply

delete I am having a hard time justifying keep. I ran a Proquest news archive search on "Kurdish Republic of Lachin" and got zero hits. Tied "Kurdish Autonomous Republic" + Lachin and got 2 hits, both form something called Kurdish Life that I cannot identify. The problem is that the conflict in this region was followed intensively by international media, so that if this was at all significant it would appear in a Proquest search. And Lachin itself, of course, is not a province or region, but a very small town, 1,900 inhabitants according to the WP page. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 16:45, 25 December 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep. Even if this was a feeble propaganda-driven attempt at generating a state, it became part of the history of the region. Failed attempts at building a nation are still notable. The only possible way for us to avoid making political judgments in areas like this is to e broadly inclusive. A negative search for the term was reported in proquest, but that covers almost entirely English. What about the languages of the region? The article in the deWP does not appear to have been challenged, and they have a higher standard of notability than we do. DGG ( talk ) 04:38, 27 December 2016 (UTC) reply

But is there any evidence that it did become part of the "history of the region"? A search in google books (never perfect because of the copyright laws, but still) comes up blank with the exception of a single hit, which is not to this, but, rather to the idea that there could be such a Republic. [1]. a simple google brings up nothing but this article and echoes. [2]. And the article is sourced to [ [3]], which cannot suffice, and to 2 books. Has anyone checked those books?

Subject of the article fails notability requirements for biographical articles, having no sustained coverage in reliable secondary sources. He was outed, and killed himself 3 months later, with no coverage before or after.

Comment GNG disagrees with BIO. Wheras BIO requires secondary sources, GNG only requires "sources" so a pile of primary sources count.

For this discussion, primary sources are the contemporaneous journalistic sources. Secondary sources would be academic journals or independent books written years after the fact that really examine details; none of those exist for this subject yet. The subject therefore meets GNG but not BIO. So far as I know, any given article would only have to meet one or the other. If there was a consensus that biographies had to meet BIO then huge subjects including Kim Kardashian wouldn't be notable anymore. (Except for maybe NACTOR there's not a criterion beyond GNG she could pass.) I totally support that interpretation but that's not what I've seen the consensus to be. I don't intend to take a position on this nomination for that reason. Chris Troutman ( talk) 08:44, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply
For what it's worth, I agree with your sentiment on that and the fact that complying with the rule would make Kardashian no longer notable sounds completely reasonable to me, and is rather telling about modern culture.

2016 North Carolina coup d'état

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is an extremely biased, recently created article that was apparently written in bad faith. It falsely presents legislative action as a "coup d'état". While this topic may be notable enough to be covered somewhere on Wikipedia, maybe North Carolina gubernatorial election, 2016 or elsewhere, this is clealy not the appropriate way to do it. Neutrality is essential. I think WP:TNT applies here. The username of the editor who created this article, "Alliance to Restore North Carolina", strongly suggests a conflict of interest here as well. Edgeweyes ( talk) 15:59, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep The title is bad, the content is biased, but the underlying subject is very notable based on a simple news search. Here are my suggestions that I posted to the talk page: "Legislative coup" might be a little better that 'coup d'etat'. A more neutral title will be wordy. Something like North Carolina legislation to limit the powers of the incoming Democratic governor. Another idea is to increase the scope of the article to include voter suppression, gerrymandering and refusal by McCrory to concede. Then we could call it the 2016 North Carolina gubernatorial controversy.- Mr X 16:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

The issue which is at the central core for this article which is the the lame duck session of the North Carolina legislature, and aftermath of the 2016 North Carolina Gubernatorial election., is significant in and of itself. This is due to the current coverage being given in news media, the protests, protest arrests, and the satire shows which are having a field day. There is also historical information and background information on this such as when similar action was previously attempted, the North Carolina re-districting, the re-districting court case(s), re-running of state elections in 2017, and the ongoing impact this has more widely locally and nationally.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason for keeping. you will need more than primary sources to demonstrate WP:GNG. the article is not solely about trade, but the fact there has been only one ministerial meeting in 25 years in relations says there is a very small relationship, there is no significant migration, military cooperation or other things that make notable relations. Australia–Ireland relations is an excellent comparison, there has been a long history of migration. in fact 30% of Australians have Irish heritage. do say 1% of Estonians have mexican heritage?

Relations with a small country in Europe are no less important than relations with any other nation. I highly dispute that. And consensus from deleted bilateral articles involving small countries thousands of km away proves this. This is different from Belize and Mexico, whilst they may not have large trade there are links being part of Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.

Keep - the amount of trade is not insignificant; and article discusses beyond trade agreements (notably that Mexico was one of the countries that did not recognize 50 years of Soviet occupation of Estonia as legitimate). Fairly frequent articles on trade and diplomatic meetings and cultural exchanges (these are not primary sources) [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11] —Мандичка^YO 😜 09:15, 1 December 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep for a small country like Estonia with a population of just over a million people, $284 million USD of trade is not insignificant. You also mention that in "25 years of modern relations, the only high level meeting has been one between their foreign ministers"; the article clearly mentions that Estonian Prime Minister Juhan Parts visited Mexico in 2004. Estonia, being a member of the European Union and the OECD, makes it a relevant partner to Mexico as they both collaborate together within those organizations and various others. With regards to the Australia-Ireland relations article; my mention of it was not to state that the article is irrelevant, rather it lacks information. Aquintero82, ( talk), 07:43, 1 Decemberr 2016 (UTC)

Estonia, being a member of the European Union and the OECD, makes it a relevant partner to Mexico as they both collaborate together within those organizations and various others. Mexico-EU relations are definitely notable but it's synthesis to suggest that this automatically translate to Mexico Estonia relations notable. Estonia has 24.8 billion Euros of trade a year. which equals USD26.4 billion. therefore USD 284 million of trade with mexico is just 1.1% of all Estonia's trade. is this not insignificant????

I'm trying to understand (yet cannot) why of all the countless articles, why this one is being considered for deletion? Relations between countries are always evolving, and as such, so would this article. Contrary to your belief, all relations between nations are significant. Unfortunately, this back and forth commentary will not put an end to this disagreement. Aquintero82, ( talk), 21:20, 1 Decemberr 2016 (UTC)

no, over 100 bilateral articles have been deleted. There is absolutely zero inherent notability. Again you use the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. Other articles you regard as less notable has zero bearing on discussion here. LibStar ( talk) 08:21, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply

a massive SIXTEEN migrants from Estonia to Mexico in 2015, are you seriously suggesting this adds to notability? LibStar ( talk) 01:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC) reply

It does not surprise me that of all the links I provided, that was the only thing you focus on. A country that obtained its independence only in the 1990s which currently has a large ethnic Russian population and once had a large German population, how do you distinguish historic Soviet and German migration from the Soviet Union and now present day Estonia to other countries? Borders and population change even within the same territory and when people migrate, they usually say what nationality they held at the time (German, Soviet, etc...) rather than what the country is now known as. You seem very interested in migration, so you should know this. Furthermore, immigration is not the sole factor of relations between nations. Have a read: Relaciones con los Países Bálticos (República de Estonia, República de Letonia y República de Lituania) [18] (pg. 142-148) and: Cemex and Sakret combine logistics operations, Estonia [19]. Aquintero82, ( talk), 16:44, 19 Decemberr 2016 (UTC)

Delete. Article about a single-station local radio program with no evidence of notability per WP:NMEDIA. This is sourced only to the routine and expected level of media coverage in its own local media about staffing changes, with no evidence of wider interest beyond its own city, and the closest thing here to a strong notability claim -- "The show had one of the highest difference in ratings of other shows in major market radio" -- is both unsourced and difficult to parse. As always, a radio show doesn't get a Wikipedia article just because you claim something noteworthy about it -- it gets a Wikipedia article when you can reliably source something noteworthy about it. But all the sources here are sitting on things like "new guy joins staff" and "old guy leaves staff", with no sources for whatever the hell "highest difference in ratings" is supposed to mean. (Article was kept in the original discussion in 2008; however, NMEDIA is much stricter in 2016 about what it takes for a radio program to be considered notable enough for an article than it was a decade ago.)

Last time I checked Mursia is a long time established publishing house, http://www.mursia.com/index.php/it/

the author an historian by profession (a military historian accreditated to the Historical Office of the italian Armed Forces more precisely, with books published by the armed forces own publishing house) and a jew by religion

http://www.giovannicecini.it/

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Cecini

ops ... sorry I know you do not believe in articles published on wikipedia

but

the book is also partially of public domain and if you type "Bruno Jesi" you will have on screen lots of sources, plus assignments and motivations for golden medals are public and published on the web pages of the italian armed forces and parliament

or on the website of the Presidency of the italian Republic

http://www.quirinale.it/elementi/DettaglioOnorificenze.aspx?decorato=13918

or on the Hebrew Archive

http://www.archivioterracini.it/archive/list_t.php?id=251

and if you want you can buy the book https://books.google.it/books/about/I_soldati_ebrei_di_Mussolini.html?id=M6ZtAAAAMAAJ&source=kp_cover&redir_esc=y and read it

it costs around 20 british pounds

but I would also suggest you to buy the book "History of the italian jews"

Delete as creator-invented neologism. A much broader article about the impact of social media on politics would absolutely be viable and sourceable, especially in the age of the trumptweet, but this as written is neither that article nor its correct title. This isn't even just a USian topic as the article claims; do Justin Trudeau and Naheed Nenshi, who have both made noteworthy and impactful use of social media tools in their political careers as well, not exist? Does the use of social media as an organizing tool for political protest not count for something? And on and so forth? WikiEds really need to start incorporating greater training in the "how to correctly identify the potential article topic" part of the equation, because I've seen entirely too many of these articles that point in the general direction of a valid article topic but completely miss the actual target.

Comment. Thank you! Lessons learned.

Thank you so much Ueutyi, Shawn in Montreal, Joe Roe, Peterkingiron and Bearcat for your feedback and input here. I will encourage my student, Lubnasebastian, to incorporate her work here into other pages. I will also make sure that students have me approve their ideas for new articles much earlier in the semester, and I will make sure to review them myself before they get out of the sandbox stage. Just FYI, I also had required students to work on 3-5 articles for my class, and I required at least one new article to be a part of that. In retrospect, I will not require new articles be created by all students in future semesters, given how hard it is to get those right. I'm also hoping that Ian (Wiki Ed) or others at WikiEd can expand the trainings about notability specifically, as this is a topic that a number of my students seem to have had trouble with, and it sounds like perhaps it's not just my students.

Chris Troutman, I'm sorry to hear that Wikipedians increasingly hate WikiEd projects. It looks like you're a Campus Ambassador. Do you have a counterpart at UC Berkeley? I would love to meet them and bring them into my classes if I use the curriculum again next year. Also, cool font choice for your signature—I love copperplate and it really makes your name stand out. David ( talk) 22:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Dave Harris: Sadly my counterpart at Berkeley, Kevin Gorman, is dead. Wikipedia no longer supports the campus ambassador program, anyway. Ian at Wiki Ed is your point of contact. I absolutely understand what you're going through as I've had classes at UCLA with similar issues which is why I had been so vocal about the importance of Wikipedia getting its interactions with students right. These students unwittingly create headaches for those of us that are long-time editors and it need not be that way. Regardless, I appreciate your attention in this matter. Nobody wants to generate sore feelings over a website and I do, truly, appreciate the work you're doing. We need more academics editing Wikipedia. Thank you for complementing my use of Copperplate Gothic. User signatures help establish personality in this text-only environment although many editors eschew the appearance of vanity.

Weak delete. Derbyshire Writers' Guild is a well-known & popular Austen fanfiction site. Many authors at DWG have taken their works down because of preferring various self-published/print-on-demand/vanity press outputs but in this fan interview [24] Burris claims Double Edge is a small press which picked up the novel for a second edition after a print-on-demand first edition. There are several fan-site reviews/interviews, however, I find little in the way of in-depth commentary in reliable sources for this novel. There are brief mentions in Chick Lit and Postfeminism & Celebrating Pride and Prejudice: 200 Years of Jane Austen's Masterpiece/ Happily Ever After: Celebrating Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Merge, probably into List of literary adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, which is not too long and has room for several-sentence summaries, and which can easily be expanded in scope to cover sequels, too. We should be looking for ATDs, and given this excellent alternative to deletion, this should not be deleted. It would also be okay to Keep it outright. However a merge leaving a redirect behind preserves edit history and enables re-creation with more material and sources, if those become available. -- do ncr am 02:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply
merge. as suggested. There are many such works, --see [25] and [26] in Worldcat; a very few of them are notable . The notable ones are in many hundreds --or thousands (e.g. P. D. James, Death Comes to Pemberley [27]) --of libraries. This is in about 60. For an extremely popular sub-genre, that's trivial.

Nina Rosenwald

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

BLP issues and NN. Aside from original sources that promote her biography, the main source for this article was written by Max Blumenthal in The Nation called “The Sugar Mama of Anti-Muslim Hate.” It is referenced 7 times. This is clearly a smear piece written by a partisan author in a highly political magazine of a different political persuasion than that of Rosenwald’s. She is a staunch Zionist while he is a tough critic of Zionism and what he calls the “Israel Lobby”. As a philanthropist she gives money to pro-Zionist organizations, most notably the Gatestone Institute. There is a legitimate concern that occasionally some writers have published anti-Muslim articles but that doesn’t support the insinuation by Blumenthal that this was the purpose of her funding and her Muslim friends defend her. This is the core of the BLP—a smear attack and the response. The sections on her family wikilink to their BLPs and her educational section has no sources. If one removes those sections and self-promotional websites, the bulk of the article is the Blumenthal smear attack. This controversy can and should be covered in the article on the Gatestone Institute as it is about this publication (a partial merge is suggested). Donors often given editorial freedom to their writers and do not necessarily endorse everything written. It is more about the organization and its publication. A BLP based on a smear attack shouldn’t exist. Jason from nyc ( talk) 15:37, 9 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep A WP:NPOV-problem is no reason to delete an article. The best way to solve a NPOV-problem is by solving the NPOV-problem. Options are editing, or just reverting to an older version in which there is less emphasis on the "smear piece written by a partisan author." Like this old version, for example. Best regards, Jeff5102 ( talk) 22:05, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- Jeff, you have contributed to this article since it conception in 2013. Don't you think that if we haven't found sources to solve the NPOV problem by now they may not exist? The old version was changed by consensus but let's look at it. References 2, 9, 10, 11, & 12 are info the subject submitted herself. References 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are about her ancestors who have BLP for their story. What does that leave? Basically 1 & 14 are about her and written by others who are attacking her. This gives the impression that the attack articles make her notable and the rest is filler from her own supplied pages or her family's Wiki's biographies. Since that time the material extracted from #14 has expanded to so that this source is cited 6 times. I suggest we tried hard to find independent sources that show her notable but BLP considerations, to write "conservatively" and avoid material written "primarily to disparage the subject," suggest we have a BLP problem. Other have noted this in the talk over the years with one person writing in 2013 that "quite a lot of work to be done on the article, and that is what we are here for" ... others above are saying the same. We've tried. Jason from nyc ( talk) 04:20, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment: Jason, thank you for your response. I still do not believe that this NPOV-problem is a valid reason for deleting an article, but that is me. For example, we still can insert this article in it to make it more balanced. Or something of these newsletters, when she was in the board of the National Democratic Institute until 1986.

Nomination seems to be written from a serious misconception as to the meaning of WP:NPOV. Nomination complains that the references are biased.

The result was keep. Bordering on no consensus. Seems like the question here boils down to whether Deseret News is independent from Mr. Oswald enough to qualify as an "independent" source. If Mr. Oswald was the owner or otherwise in direct influence or control of the newspaper the case would be open and shut, but since they are apparently only connected through the Mormon church (i.e indirectly) it's a lot more questionable. Purplebackpack argues that the source is not independent and the argument is legit, but so are the counterarguments (including an article that is critical of the subject, not something that commonly happens with dependent sources) and they outnumber the delete case. There are some other sources as well but didn't receive much discussion. Accusations of bigotry need a lot more evidence than what was offered here, too. PS: It seems like a similar article with identical considerations was already discussed and kept at AfD and the ruling upheld by deletion review and the closing admin Iridescent when it was appealed on their talk page.

Inaccurate, @ Oakshade:. Most discussions on this topic, including the second one you've linked to and a number of AfD discussions, have several other editors signing on to the belief that Deseret News isn't independent. Several AfDs have been closed as delete on the basis that a preponderance of editors believed that the Deseret News was not independent. BTW, Oakshade, maybe instead of accusing me alone of being "hellbent", you could actually provide a reason for why the Deseret News is independent. It pledges to promote an LDS way of doing things, and is indirectly controlled by the LDS church. I think that makes it pretty clear it has a POV that skews toward promoting LDS topics that non-LDS sources would not consider notable. p b p 20:42, 14 December 2016 (UTC) reply

If you'd like to make the case that the Deseret News is not considered a reliable source, you need to do so on the Reliable Sources Noticeboard for deeper community input. But you've already done that twice and you've failed to gain a consensus for your belief. The community has spoken despite your persistent efforts. You can't just push your own agenda in single Afd that's outside of community consensus. -- Oakshade ( talk) 21:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Sorry, Oakshade, but those two discussions do not indicate a community consensus for your position (and I might add that, while I participated in those discussions; neither was STARTED by me). At Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_210#Deseret_News, a majority of people who weighed in in the discussion doubted the notability of Deseret News. As for Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_212#Deseret_News_as_a_source_for_LDS-related_subjects; THREE people said Deseret News was independent; that's NOT a set-in-stone consensus that forbids future discussion. BTW, I'm still waiting for an actual reason as to why Deseret News is independent; all I've gotten is "a few people say it is". You've said nothing insofaras refuting my above point about the Deseret News being controlled by the church and pushing the church's point-of-view. p b p 00:14, 15 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Sorry, but you failed to gain consensus for your position that the Deseret News is not a reliable source for LDS-related topics. (Two can play at the boldface game.) That's where you need to make your case for your position and you've not succeed at that. -- Oakshade ( talk) 03:05, 15 December 2016 (UTC) reply

I do not need a RS consensus to nominate this article or any other for deletion. Saying I do is overly bureaucratic. Consensus as to whether this particular article is notable or not can be determined right here. And I've repeated several times here and elsewhere why Deseret News is NOT independent (indirectly controlled by LDS church, committed to pushing a point of view consistent with LDS doctrine), and you have yet to give any actual reasons why it is. Probably because there are none. All you've done is say, "PBP shut up, you don't have consensus at some other rando page". And that's neither necessary nor a good argument. If consensus for Deseret News being independent was so clear and evident you've have laid out the rationale here instead of beating me over the head. (I might add actual reasons for the Deseret News being independent are missing from half of the "Deseret News is independent" statements in the two discussions you're so dang wedded to). p b p 13:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC) reply

The issue is weather the DeseretNews is independent of Wiliam D. OSwalld. which it clearly is. Oswald never did have any controlling imput into the Deseret News. PBP's arguments are a special kind of bigotry designed to limit the inclusion of Latter-day Saint related articles in Wikipedia by defining out of existence as reliable sources much of the LDS related media. To doubt that the Deseret News is a "notable source" shows down right ignorance of the American newspaper landscape. The Deseret News is a highly significant newspaper that in the last 10 years has been at the cutting edge of several major news developments. The failure to grasp this on the part of some editors, and the downright hostility shown it by PBP, shows major biases on the part of some Wikipedia editors against understanding anything except their own narrow navel-gazing focus on the costs, ignoring 99% of the world population by their reliance on sources that reflect only the concerns of those who live in California, Oregon, Washington, and from Virginia to Massachusetts. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:46, 22 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Please spare us the rant about Kellerism. And "Oswald never did have any controlling imput into the Deseret News" isn't how you define independence. If you work for a company, and get your notability from working for that company, the company rag (which Deseret News basically is) can't be used to assert your notability (it can be used to cite facts, but it can't be the only source in the article), whether or not you write the company rag. Nobody would dispute this if the relationship was between a business and a publication, or between a musical group and a publication. But it's "bigotry" if the relationship is between a religious group and a publication? Not on, sorry, JPL. Deseret News isn't independent, I'm not alone in believing that, and neither I nor anybody else (and there are others, as Oakshade's discussions and previous AfDs note) are bigoted for believing that. We just want Wikipedia articles to be independently sourced, and you can't do that with the Deseret News. p b p 15:30, 22 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Here is a list of the Deseret News articles mentioning him. Somebody please review the list and determine if any of these articles themselves are notable.

Please properly distinguish between statements aimed at attitudes and those aimed at editors. I am not accusing anyone of actually being a bigot, merely pointing out that the accusations leveled against the Deseret News, solely on the basis of ownership, are not defensible. William D. Oswald is not, to the best of my knowledge, an owner or employee of the Deseret News. News outlets are allowed to select their own topics and cover topics of interest to their owners and readership, including that of co-religionists, without being per se non-independent. Assuming otherwise ABFs against an external organization. Jclemens ( talk) 06:39, 23 December 2016 (UTC) reply

The Deseret News is owned by a holding company in turn controlled by the LDS Church. Wouldn't that make any official (including Oswald) an "owner" in some respect? As for ABFing, I think you cast the net of what's independent far too wide, particularly since you're including a publication pledged to promote Mormon doctrine. p b p 15:58, 23 December 2016 (UTC) reply

The Mormon Church, or its individual holding companies, are not the subject of this deletion discussion. One particular LDS individual is. His status as a religious leader does not grant him control over the Deseret News, much like a stockholder is not entitled to free inventory from a company in which they have some small interest.

Keep - Challenges of these sort of X-Y bilateral relations articles are tiresome. Both of these countries are connected in the past by common affiliation with the Spanish empire; both of these countries are connected in the present by ongoing struggles against Maoist insurgencies AS THIS ARTICLE DEMONSTRATES. The population of the PI is almost 98.4 million people (until Duterte's death squads knock a million off that total but that's another story), we are not talking about the Marshall Islands or the Maldives here. The population of Peru is nearly 30.4 million people, we are not talking about Belize here. The countries MAINTAIN EMBASSIES with one another. These are large, significant nations each with their own foreign relations history and a bilateral relations history. Clear keep here and a trout for the nominator.

and Peru maintains no embassy in Manila. your claim about maintaining embassies is false and misleading. a clear trout to you. Population size is not a determinant of notability, what is a determinant is significant coverage of actual relations. this article on maoist isn't even about actual bilateral relations, it's pure synthesis on your part. clear trout to you, fake arguments for keep are tiresome.

Keep, as could be assumed, there was significant contact and trade during the colonial era.

Ed Brown (boxer)

(Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Simply nothing actually satisfying the applicable notability Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Boxing since he never played in a major event or otherwise major competition, and the sources all are only about his death, which of course inherit him no automatic notability; from there, there's simply nothing else about this article that would suggest actual notability as a boxer. Simply because he was "nearly getting an Olympic bid" is not itself a notability factor because, in that case, we would accept every single person who came near one, and the fact the article still only focuses with triviality, it's not notability.

Delete He doesn't appear to meet any notability criteria. Claims about his potential are not enough to show notability and are opinion, not fact (like the claim he "was on his way to world championship"). Most of the coverage is about his death by shooting.

Weak delete The film appears notable, at least among the gossip circles (see [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], etc.). As the film's cast is not yet firmed up and principal photography has not yet begun, it is probably too soon to create this article.

Blatant advertising and the history itself shows it especially since the one user who started it was heavily involved with other similar advertising campaigns, making it self-explanatory as it is, and to make matters worse, this explicitly shows that any "coverage" is only published and republished advertising, basically what the listed sources here are, therefore nowhere in hell's chance of making it actual coverage. Every single source listed here is literally from trivial business publications and everything here emphasizes it, regardless of "hey, but it's a source!". If this isn't an overblown advertisement, it's obvious anything was added to simply make it as packed as it could be, but without any actual substance. What's else is that WP:NOT policy itself allows removal of this, something of which other guidelines are not equipped with. SwisterTwister talk 06:22, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete This article has nothing to offer apart from the fact that it is a Bazaar. Moreover this business is not notable for the lack of substancial references and citations.

Delete, the two existing refs are far from in-depth, and a Google search didn't bring up anything to indicate that this is a notable topic per WP:GNG. For what it's worth, both existing sources spell the name as Shanivari; although both searches bring up slightly different results, it's all still trivial coverage.

On a side note, I'm not sure how "well known" Emma Rigby is (I myself have never heard of her) considering her relatively small body of work, plus a Daily Mail (of all things) interview hardly does a lot in establishing notability. Also, IMDb is an open-submission site, and I saw no links to said critical reviews. sixtynine ^{• speak up •} 19:03, 17 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep I searched for this movie on Wikipedia a few weeks ago after watching it on TV. At the time, this entry did not exist yet.

Article created by a WP:SPA. It is almost verbatim taken from Mirahmadi's homepage. It is sourced only by it's own homepage, it's own youtube-vids, and a self-published book.

Comment User:Staffsmcav, I would suggest you refer to these guidelines: WP:GHITS and WP:RS to understand why User:GorgeCustersSabre said what he did. He did not ""make up lies." On the contrary, he posted an evaluation of the sources in the article that is fully in keeping with previously-established policy. The links you post above don't change anything. If anything, they endorse his characterization. They are, by and large, social media sites or are self-published (such as the book you linked). I also suggest you read this essay and also pay close attention to this core policy. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply

I'm sorry, do a google book search and see how many books make reference to his book. He didn't publish all the other books.

https://www.google.ca/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=nurjan+mirahmadi

Also let's look at the JoyTV interview. JoyTV is not a social media site, it's actually a channel on television and broadcasts nationally to Canada.

If you really think the article isn't in line with previous-established policy, why don't you fix it? Rather than outright deleting the whole article. From what I've seen, George and Jeff just came in there and deleted more than 5000 words about his early bio and career.

staffsmcav —Preceding undated comment added 02:51, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply

staffsmcav, I suspect you aren't going to like what I have to say, but I believe you deserve an answer. First of all, I did do a Google Books search, and I'm afraid that is of little help. The books that are available fall into one of four categories: A)books by the article subject which have not received reviews or larger notice as our guideline on authors requests, B)self-published works, both by the article subject and about him, C)passing mentions or bare citations, and D)incorrect links to a different person. These are not helpful to the discussion.

Secondly, about the JoyTV interview, we don't have any way of verifying that is true. The only link is to a YouTube video, and no other editor can tell that JoyTV aired it. Even then, JoyTV was apparently a "network" of only two stations, which did not have a national footprint.

Thirdly, about fixing the article, I don't think there is anything to fix. The only significant coverage is from non-independent sources. Fixing the article would mean removing that material. The resulting article would be nothing more than the infobox with his picture and a leed that had his name and little more. It would not be an article, in other words.

I could go on, but I think you are beginning to get the gist. The fact remains: despite being called "world renowned" editors trying to find reasonable evidence of that renown are finding little to none. If there was such evidence, and I again refer you to my previous links to policies and guidelines on what form such evidence would take, I would certainly change my opinion. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete Based on social media posts, the subject of the article appears to be a real person who exists. Beyond that, nothing can be reliably or verifiably established by even a single acceptable source. Were it not for the obvious edit warring on the part of the article's creator, this would have been a great candidate for speedy deletion. This article is an obvious WP:PROMOTION violation in regard to yet another non-notable Muslim religious figure whose fans are trying to exploit Wikipedia as a free advertising banner.

Dear staffsmcav, you misunderstand what is happening. You have been edit warring and violating many Wikipedia policies, but right now we have set that aside and are just assessing whether this Nurjan Mirahmadi page should remain on Wikipedia based on its own merits or demerits. Right now I suspect it will not survive this process given that it contains few or no third-party RS, lacks neutrality and does not establish the notability of the subject. But I repeat: this process is not about the nature of your edits (so an apology is appreciated but not relevant); its about the page itself. Yours, George Custer's Sabre ( talk) 03:31, 19 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete. Wikipedia is not a means of promotion. Being obviously written by a devotee, the article fails to offer a neutral and objective point of view on its subject; while lack of reliable sources makes it impossible to improve it. As it stands, the article thus carries little to none encyclopaedic value. Hence, Delete. — kashmiri ^TALK 00:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi I cut the page down to what jeff5102 originally want it to be. The page is not suppose to be a promotional page, it is to provide information on Naqshbandi representative in North America. Naqshbandi is a major school of Sunni Islam spirituality studies. Staffsmcav 19:00, 21 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Dear Staffsmcav, the point of this Articles for Deletion page is not to decide whether the As-Sayed Nurjan Mirahmadi article should be presented in a certain way -- ie, the way that Jeff5102, you or I might want it -- but to form a collective view, with the input of editors, about whether the article is worth keeping on Wikipedia at all or should be deleted.
