2006 SCSA season

Little content on any of these articles, and no reliable sources or any indication of notability provided. Cannot find any significant coverage from sources via Google search or other outlets, meaning these articles likely do not meet WP:GNG. QueenCake ( talk) 23:06, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment I have tried searching for more sources to see if he passes WP:GNG- he was in the Norwich FA Youth Cup winning team, so I thought there could be sources about him. Couldn't find anything other than passing mentions, his name on team lists, and the articles on his loan to Woking. In short, he definitely doesn't pass WP:GNG.

Keep One season as a regular on Grey's is enough to solidify notability for me. These actor articles don't have to be lengthy; we have the basics for a stub, and it passes. Nate • ( chatter) 04:55, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete. Borderline speedy A7 candidate, definitely could've been prodded as an unsourced BLP.

Murder of Sara Mutschlechner

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

This doesn't sound notable enough to warrant an article. There has been a spate of road-rage shootings being covered in the news, but none of them have articles of their own as far as I can tell and I can't see what's so special about this incident. This doesn't even seem to have the national coverage necessitated. Parsley Man ( talk) 21:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

delete Not exactly road rage, more like a young Ne'er-do-well (discharged from the Marines 'under other than honorable conditions based upon the commission of a serious offense') who had a gun but no sense. Tragic story of the murder of an innocent girl, but as an article it falls under NOTMEMORIAL and fails WP:CRIME. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 14:15, 10 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep - because of the road rage angle. This is not a memorial article as it is very matter of fact and not written in a memorial way. BabbaQ ( talk) 22:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC) reply

We have many other recent road rage stories in the news, yet none of those have articles, however. Why is this one so special? Parsley Man ( talk) 22:41, 11 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete Definitely not notable. I haven't even heard of this in the news at all, meaning it must be a local event.

Reads like a promotion piece, which relies a lot on primary sources. No evidence of notability. The creator's User name is AppliedCommunication, which makes me think there is a COI, potentially a paid editor. JMHamo ( talk) 21:08, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Please explain how this page is any different from the 519, [ [1]], or the St. Mike's page. This page is well cited and provides a brief overview of what SHC does and the effects of that work.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AppliedCommunication ( talk • contribs)

I disagree with the statement above, which recommends deletion. The article's page does not appear promotional (and a user's name is not sufficient evidence to indicate it is). Instead, it is informational and contains an adequate amount of secondary citations. Isaburo ( talk) 21:56, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment CU has confirmed Isaburo ( talk · contribs) to be a meat puppet. The article creator AppliedCommunication ( talk · contribs)'s !vote has also been struck as he was blocked by this SPI too. JMHamo ( talk) 11:57, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Weak delete The article is promotional and reads like a directory entry or a company web page. In terms of sourcing, what it has working against it is that there are many mentions but I find nothing expressly about the organization that is substantial. Also, nearly all of the sources are local to the area the center serves, and we take off "notability points" for that, although in this case "local" is a large city. The LGBT and Rainbow work look interesting enough to save the article, but again I didn't find articles expressly about the organization. I checked many references, but admit I could have missed something. If ones could be brought to light then I think that with a great deal of editing it may be possible to save the article. LaMona ( talk) 03:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply
For the record, I live about a block away from this institution, so I'm quite familiar with it. That said, the nominator and LaMona are both correct that this article, as written, is entirely too dependent on primary sources, with the reliable sourcing limited to glancing namechecks in coverage which isn't about the facility — but that's not how any institution, no matter how notable it might seem in principle, gets a Wikipedia article. Notability under WP:GNG is conferred by being the subject of substantive coverage in reliable media sources that are independent of the topic, not by the topic's own self-published web presence or by passing mentions in coverage of other topics. I'd be entirely willing to vote keep if the article were sourced properly, but with this sourcing it's a delete. Bearcat ( talk) 22:10, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete per Bearcat and LaMona , Fails WP:SIGCOV. Pharaoh of the Wizards ( talk) 17:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Delete. In digging around for possible evidence of notability, I (a) found none; and (b) discovered a few articles related to this one that may also need deletion. One example is Supporting Our Youth (which has no real sources, other than the organization's own website), but there are others as well. I'm not sure how to nominate articles for deletion, but I thought this might be the best place to bring up the issue. Hallward's Ghost ^(Kevin) ^{(

Ill Tone

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

WP:BLP, actually an WP:AUTOBIO if you check the creator's username, of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC as of yet — while there are claims here that point in that direction, they miss. The criterion for charting hit singles requires an IFPI-certified commercial sales chart on the order of Nielsen or Billboard, but !earshot is a campus radio airplay chart which doesn't pass Wikipedia:Record charts — and the national or international touring criterion requires that the artist has garnered media coverage for the tour, but the sourcing for that claim here is parked almost entirely on blogs. All of the sourcing here, in fact, is to sources that fail WP:RS for one reason or another: some are primary sources; some are blogs; some are interviews with the subject, which are okay for supplementary confirmation of facts after an article has already been sourced over GNG, but cannot count toward demonstrating notability; some are community weekly newspapers in his own local area, which would also be okay for supplementary confirmation of facts but aren't widely distributed enough to get a person into Wikipedia if they're the best you can do for sourcing. And even the one source here that does count as a fully legitimate one in a musician's article, Exclaim!, in this instance just namechecks his existence a single time in an article about somebody else, and thus still fails to constitute substantive coverage of him. So there's no basis to claim a WP:GNG pass here either — at best, this is WP:TOOSOON for a Wikipedia article about somebody who may well become eligible for one in the future, but hasn't cleared the bar yet as of today. Delete, without prejudice against recreation (by somebody not directly affiliated with the artist's own PR machine) in the future if and when his notability and sourceability get better.

Whilst curating this page, I put an A7 speedy deletion which was removed as there was assertions of significance within the text. Trouble is, I had researched the name on Google before placing the A7 tag, but I found only one or two primary sources and a confidence trickster of roughly the same name. With no inline citations, or indeed any citations (except from one, which doesn't prove significance as an automatically generated website), there appears to be no evidence of notability beyond that stated in the article with no evidence to back it up. jcc ( tea and biscuits) 16:56, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

An Evening with...

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

Very little context, but there does not seem to be any real assertion of notability for this series of productions. The phrase "An Evening with..." is very common and wasn't coined for this production series, and the article looks like an attempt to promote said series.

Comment It might be worth mentioning that the user who created the article was blocked for operating sockpuppets, all of whom were mainly concerned with promoting Marc Sinden, the person behind this production series. So it's a promo piece from start to finish. -- bonadea contributions talk 14:36, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Redirect to Marc Sinden as this event is already mentioned on his article with as much information as exists on this separate page and because The One Night Booking Company already redirects to Marc Sinden. The article for the individual seems well referenced, but there's no evidence given for separate notability of this event night so leave it on his page as it already is. - Markeer 21:30, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Contested Prod. Rationale for original nomination was the following As with The Odd Life of Amy Letwis all sources are to a blogspot, no sources indicate notability and awards listed are youth awards. Debatable as to whether this could ever meet WP:GNG. Contested reason was wide tv release. It is my believe that this still does not meet WP:GNG.

Comment: This is a strange one, given that they tried making a category page (which I deleted since there's only one item in it at this point in time) and they also made a template that claims that there are several video games based on the film/story. A basic search so far brings up nothing to suggest that any of this is legit, so I'm leaning towards saying that the video games are bogus. This also makes me wonder about the various awards and the TV airing claims. A look at the TAFF site for 2015 doesn't show that this film was ever up for any of their awards at all - or that there are any awards categories matching the ones next to the award ceremony name. I'll look into the other awards. I'm leaning towards this being a hoax (in that the film may exist but did not accomplish any of the claims in the article), especially as the film website is basically a nearly blank website that redirects you to a Blogspot account. It's just extremely suspicious that a film with these claims would receive zero coverage, either under the English title or the Spanish title, La extraña vida de AMY LETWIS. I also note that there was an entry for this film on the Spanish WP, but it was deleted there as well. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:34, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Same thing goes for the page for Martina Rodriguez. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:35, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply

I just completed my search for the English and Spanish titles. There's zero coverage out there other than Wikipedia and various primary sources - which are weak even by primary source standards. Also fairly telling is the near complete lack of junk hits, which gives off the strong impression that this was something someone came up with one day and tried to add to Wikipedia. A search for some of the awards or reviewers brings up little and what I can verify as existent (the TAFF awards) do not list this film as one of its nominees/awardees and in some cases, the award category doesn't seem to exist. I'm going to speedy this as a blatant hoax and block the article creator, since this appears to be their only contributions and it looks like they've done this on multiple WikiProjects.

The Myth of National Defense

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

This is not a notable book. It's been sitting around here for a while, lacking reliable sources and reviews, and it's time to go. I searched ten pages of Google hits and found nothing but Goodreads and Amazon and an occasional mention on a blog, the most notable of which is this single mention, which isn't a review and lacks the kind of depth we need for a book to be considered notable. Google Books also does not provide evidence that the book has been cited and is thus notable; here is a journal article that cites one of the contributions in the book but, again, that's not enough. Finally, the only review included in the article is by Lew Rockwell ( this is the correct URL), and Rockwell is...yeah, the guy who runs the joint that published the book. Drmies ( talk) 22:36, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply

I see now this has been nominated before, but in that AfD I do not see valid keep arguments. Protonk laid out some conditions for keeping it, which Mathmo somewhat oddly sees as a reason to vote keep--but those conditions were never met (no reviews). Supposedly the book was reviewed here, but that link is dead and a publication by a thinktank (in this case Centre for Independent Studies) hardly qualifies as an in-depth review published by a reliable source. Finally, this was proposed as a review and a reason for notability, but it's just another blog. Drmies ( talk) 22:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Here is the "dead link" review (or at least the first three paragraphs of it): [18] Plenty of "think tank" sources are quoted from and used as sources on Wikipedia. The book review is at least 4 paragraphs long, and is by a named academic. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 21:59, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment I don't believe the last point is relevant. Rockwell is a scholar, and his review should contribute toward showing that the book is notable. FreeKnowledgeCreator ( talk) 22:41, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep - It is a widely cited book, by academic sources, a few examples being : [19]; [20]; [21]. When Other Legends Are Forgotten ( talk) 23:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply
- I don't know that that's "widely" cited--one can argue that Sechrest acquires some notability because his article is cited in your first two examples. The third example is a bit sloppy. Sure, there's plenty more mentions, but this one also doesn't actually cite the book, and this is a Festschrift that only mentions the book. We can quibble over precisely what "widely cited" means, and maybe we should--I don't think those Google Book hits prove it. Do any of your sources discuss the book in depth, not just mention one of the articles?
  But what is especially damning is that there seem to be no reviews at all. The best that JSTOR has to offer (besides two obligatory mentions in the Journal for Ayn Rand Studies), for instance, is a single mention in a footnote: "Other recent works in this tradition include Hoppe (2003)" ( http://www.jstor.org/stable/4027093).

Delete – Current and suggested sources fail WP:NBOOK. Lew Rockwell's conflict of interest is substantial here. There's wiggle room for this kind of thing, but this is not just a passing association or professional relationship, but rather a review by the guy who founded and currently chairs the publishing company. That is a vested interest in promoting the book, which is fundamentally not independent, and cannot be used for notability per WP:GNG. Being cited in a few other books doesn't establish notability, either, as they are only a few extremely brief mentions in long lists of other mentions.

Delete Looks as though Rockwell's review was given as reason to keep the article last time around which as Grayfell points out above is seriously problematic.

Keep mainly on the basis of the 2004 book review in Policy (the journal of the Centre for Independent Studies), part of which is readable here [22]. It suggest that the subject matter of the book held particular significance at that time, and, even though the journal has a political agenda contrary to that expressed in the book, the review still described the book as "most fascinating and horizon-widening". Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 22:30, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

That's a good find, but I don't think the Centre for Independent Studies' political agenda is clearly contrary to that expressed by the book. Does the paywalled part of the review say otherwise? Both advocate for free-market, small-government, libertarian views, so that seems a bit odd. Regardless, it's still only one usable review, and NBOOK calls for two and the other coverage is very thin. Grayfell ( talk) 23:29, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

The Centre for Independent Studies is a right-wing and quasi-libertarian Australian think tank. Its self-published newsletter is unlikely to be a reliable source, and as an organisation it shares many of the same views as the US think tank that published this book. Nick-D ( talk) 00:41, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply

The other concerns may be reasonable, but one cannot deem the source irrelevant because of the viewpoint of its authors. FreeKnowledgeCreator ( talk) 00:55, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply

I think that it means that the review doesn't count towards this meeting criterion 1 of WP:NBOOK (a guideline I generally dislike given it sets an awfully low bar for notability). Like-minded think tanks reviewing one another's books in their newsletters doesn't contribute to the books being notable. If a Centre for Independent Studies employee/associate had authored a review published in an independent source (eg, a newspaper) it would be different. Nick-D ( talk) 00:59, 9 January 2016 (UTC) reply

The author of the book review is a noted academic, not a "Centre for Independent Studies employee/associate". "Self-published newsletter"? I see no evidence that the publication's aims is simply to detail the doings of the Centre for Independent Studies - so it is not a "newsletter". "Self published" is meaningless. Of course it is self published - it is the journal of the organization! The Times and The New York Times are also self-published! Also, saying that this thinktank and the publisher or authors of the book share the same viewpoints is like saying Bolsheviks and National Socialists shared the same viewpoints because they both liked oppressing people and building grandiose neoclassical architectural pastiches! Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 15:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC) reply

If curious, I found the entire article on the journal's website as a PDF here: [23]. It's more critical than the summary implied, but only as a matter of degree. I may be reading this wrong, but it looks like Worldcat lists three or four libraries that keep physical copies of Policy ( ISSN 1032-6634).

Delete. The news coverage seems pretty sparse and contemporaneous to the event. Not every crime that has ever occurred and ever been reported on needs its own page in an encyclopedia. I don't know what WP:CRIME has to do with anything, as that is about individuals, not events. "Looks notable to me" and "event got plenty of attention" are even more worthless as justfications for keeping (one day in my dreams people who regularly do that will be banned from AfD discussions). More pertinent is WP:EVENTCRITERIA and the following subsections of WP:NOTABILITY. Lasting effects? Depth and duration of coverage etc? Hardly.

Weak keep - I find it very easy to imagine this being a case study in courses on psychology and women's health e.g. as a case study of a husband's violent response to his wife's reproductive choices, so a Wikipedia article on it sounds like a good idea.

Keep – Google gives me some post-2000 references that are outside the normal news cycle for the event, plus having sufficient notoriety to form the basis of a TV movie also falls under the category of ongoing coverage or a demonstrated cultural impact. Also, SPEEDY A7 (the nominator's deletion justification) does not apply: A7 explicitly relates only to a "real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event" – this was an event/occurrence, not an organised event.

I've been requested to provide a more detailed close. Numerically, there's no overwhelming weight of !votes in either camp. While the !deletes were in the majority, there were some sources presented which purport to establish notability, and were not disputed. The argument that this has been deleted from the Maltese wiki carries little weight, since each language wikipedia has its own policies and standards. On the other side, the argument that this must be notable because of involvement from royalty doesn't carry much weight; we're looking for reliable secondary sources, not making our own value judgements about what's important. In a nutshell, I don't see a convincing argument to delete, nor do I see a convincing argument why this must be kept. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC) reply

The nearest in WP:ORG would be where it looks at longevity: The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered to the extent that these factors have been reported by independent sources.

I suppose it's possible there could be an article here that passed WP:GNG if it was about something different that happens to share the name.

PeterTheFourth ( talk) 09:02, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

I don't see how these are different thing: the reports I referred to above are about activity under the slogan "Blue Lives Matter", and there is an organisation set up under that name - presumably a lot of the activities have either been run by the organisation or the organisation has been set up in response to the actions. Either way, clearly there is a lot of fluff on the current page, but it could be rewritten to describe "the movement" with a reference to the organisation. And, I note, the non-profit organisation you are claiming is not notable is itself has been referenced in buzzfeed on Yahoo News and probably elsewhere. The organisation therefore likely meets the WP:GNG anyway. JMWt ( talk) 11:20, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment:I found a few more sources: one from the Huffington Post ( [29]) and one from the Philadelphia Magazine, a more regional source ( [30]). Of note is the fact that both sources are critical of Blue Lives Matter. I also found two New York State representatives who offered support for Blue Lives Matter: [31] and [32]. The Blue Lives Matters website also contains a listing of some more of their media coverage: [33] (a lot of the sources are either local or come from websites like Pentrist, but there might be some more sources demonstrating notability). Spirit of Eagle ( talk) 21:40, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep: Formally voting keep due to coverage in reliable sources. Also, from the available sources, it appears that Blue Lives Matter can refer to a phrase commonly used in protests and on Twitter, a pro-law enforcement campaign, and the organization that offers aid to police officers and their families. All of these subjects are heavily interconnected and I doubt it would be possible to truly separate them without a major loss of context, so its most logical to cover them in the same article. I think it would make the most sense for the article to be primarily about the overarching campaign since this is what the majority of the sources cover, but to also give due coverage to the slogan and organization.

Arizona Wildcats football series records

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

At the same time, I am also nominating the following three related pages because of their significantly similar content and notability issues:

Non-notable list subjects that fail WP:GNG and WP:LIST, for lack of significant coverage of the the list subjects as a group in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Moreover, these lists of statistics also violate the spirit, if not the letter of WP:NOTSTATS, to wit:

"Wikipedia articles should not be . . . [e]xcessive listings of statistics. Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader. In cases where this may be necessary, (e.g. Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2012), consider using tables to enhance the readability of lengthy data lists. Where it is not necessary, as in the main article United States presidential election, 2012, omit excess statistics altogether and summarize any necessary data concisely."

These articles were previously PROD'ed, but the the PROD templates were removed. A previous AfD discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Texas Longhorns football series records, was closed yesterday with a solid consensus in favor of the elimination of a very similar list as a stand-alone article (8 "delete" !votes, 2 "keep" !votes, and 2 merge" !votes).

Delete. In addition to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Texas Longhorns football series records, these types of lists have discussed at some length here in Nov. 2015 and here in Sept. 2015. The consensus, which I support, is that we should not have such "series results" lists. The real issues here are whether the lists satisfy WP:LISTN and whether, even if the subject is notable, we ought to exercise editorial judgment under WP:PAGEDECIDE to opt against a stand-alone list/article. In this case, I favor our exercise of editorial judgment to avoid such articles for two reasons. First, I have concerns about our ability to maintain such sprawling lists, as the data at issue is massive (particularly if there are such lists for dozens and dozens of college football programs) and changes with great frequency. Second, the same data sets are published off Wikipedia by organizations (e.g., here) that are better equipped to perform regular updates of the data. As for WP:NOTSTATS, it remains my view that a number of editors have incorrectly interpreted NOTSTATS and that deletionists will seek to exploit that misinterpretation. The purpose of NOTSTATS is to require context for stats and to avoid pure data dumps. If there is a statistical list that is notable and not indiscriminate, NOTSTATS suggests that any such listing should have contextual narrative text and citations. The introductory sentence of WP:NOTSTATS emphasizes precisely this: "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources." As User:Ejgreen77 noted in one of the prior discussions, if NOTSTATS was a valid basis for deleting statistical listings regardless of notability, it could be used to support deletion of highly notable statistical lists such as: List of college football coaches with 200 wins, List of NCAA football records, List of NCAA Division I FBS running backs with at least 5,000 rushing yards, etc. In sum, the real issue is not whether such lists are precluded under NOTSTATS, but one of reasonable editorial judgment under WP:LISTN and WP:PAGEDECIDE. Cbl62 ( talk) 06:17, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

BTW, the same rationale supports deletion of Iowa Hawkeyes football series records, Michigan State Spartans football series records, Michigan Wolverines football series records, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish football series records. Cbl62 ( talk) 06:20, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

I think the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football series records passes the the general notability and WP:LISTN criteria mentioned above. There is significant coverage of their record in independent and reliable sources (I've added relevant notes in the article). I don't know if the same case can be made for the other series records you mention though, as they are now, those pages are not well sources. I must admit I don't like the idea of keeping one and deleting the others, but I didn't support the deletion of these kinds of pages in the first place.

Delete these pages are all simply direct copies of the source material and are a list of statistics. While those statistics could be a part of an article, they should not make up the complete article (even for a list). A list article should allow for commentary about the list and that commentary should not be original research (meaning "I the author of the Wikipedia page look at the list and observe the following cool things..."). As an alternative, a list article can serve as a navigational aid to articles but that's not what I see here either. It seems to be that these articles are simply copying directly from a web page (or pages) that already exist as a single source.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 14:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep: There is no consensus for the deletion of these German Autobahn interchanges articles as a block, and insufficient time allocated by the AfD process for editors to research their GNG individually. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kreuz Oranienburg and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kreuz Duisburg. In relation to this interchange in particular, it is an unusual one for global political reasons, in that it was designed and partially constructed to be a two part four way interchange, but its completion was prevented by the Cold War division of Germany; plans for the network were later changed and the interchange modified accordingly. Bahnfrend ( talk) 06:07, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep All of these Kreuz's and Dreieck's are topics proper in the encyclopedia as either redirects to one of the two related Autobahn articles, or as standalone articles, and this is primarily a decision of those maintaining the articles. This particular interchange has 2004 history of the name change along with the associated controversy, as well as there is 2014 material available from hna.de regarding route changes.

Keep. The answer is clearly "yes". Wine is a major German export and the German Wine Queen is the national representative of the German wine industry. She is not some local beauty queen, but an expert on German wines and an ambassador for Germany in this important arm of their economy. The article is well referenced too. The nom has put forward no argument for deletion other than stating an opinion and making the questionable suggestion that a beer queen would be notable by comparison.

Comment - Article Updated. I have added more detail about Poss's role as Germany's national wine representative, fully referenced.

Redirect to German Wine Queen. I don't dispute the notability of the title but, for most of the recipients, there is nothing notable about them other than the title itself.

Weak delete The only thing to judge this subject on is as an author, because there are no sources for him as anything else. Then it becomes even more difficult because the authors of technical books are... well, they are technical writers. They aren't inventors or creators, and it's hard to see them as culturally significant. Some technical writers produce the massive manuals that accompany heavy equipment, some produce elegant explanations of IT. I find it a stretch to consider this notability as defined in WP:CREATIVE and yet being able to produce those O'Reilly books is a particular skill. They don't get reviewed anywhere but tech sources, and even then I think that most people take for granted that the O'Reilly book on a topic will be about the best you can get. I looked up some of my favorite IT/programming writers and they aren't in here, which may be as it should be. LaMona ( talk) 22:52, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete Violates WP:NPOV. I think the page does have possible notability however there are bigger problems with it. Basically the page seems to be a huge recount of this persons scandal rather than being a page about the individual. For instance the sections are titled "life before october 2015" and "Controversy" which shows clear focus on a negative issue for no reason since the person has other claims to fame. They were the youngest person in South Korea to be accepted into a university and were considered a prodigy, which isn't mentioned at all in the articles opening. Several of the references though are specifically about that and not the scandal but still the plagiarism seems to be the overall focus of the page. Therefore I find the article to be in violation of WP:BLP guidelines. Peachywink ( talk) 17:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep for the same reasons that this article was closed as keep less than a month ago. It is completely untrue that this individual is "only known for plagiarizing a (single) paper he co-wrote". In Korea, this individual has seen significant media coverage for many years. Sources that indicate notability are abundant (but not in English). The plagiarism issue is just the latest reason he has received media attention. If editors see problems with the article in terms of NPOV and BLP, that is a reason to improve the article's content (or maybe trim bad content) rather than delete the article. 웃웃 ( talk) 15:40, 12 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Keep. What is supposed to have changed during the short laps of time from the former discussion? Nevertheless, for the benefit of User:Tadeusz Nowak, and other people that could have difficulties in finding the previous discussion, let us recall that this article is about "something has turned wrong in a long term process 2005-2015". In other words, serially breaching the academic rules in order to "grow the future Korean Nobel Prize in Physic" (and serially depicting doubts as jealousy) has produced unforeseen results. The formal retractation of an article, published by the American Astronomical Society, motivated by an exceptionally large overlap with a paper published in 2002 was the emerging part of a long term process, and was absolutely not a random copyvio by a random student. It was the total breakdown of what should have been the PhD thesis of a star student (and of the large amount of money and staff involved in the process). This has generated a lot of articles published in Reliable Sources. For the people that cannot read Korean, it exists however many articles written in English, see The Korea Herald (www.koreaherald.com), Korean Joongang Daily (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com, 3 articles), Korea Times (www.koreatimes.co.kr, among them an Editorial comment), Yonhap News Agency (english.yonhapnews.co.kr), The Donga Ilbo (english.donga.com). Therefore, the long term notability is obvious. What to say about this long term process, from 2005 to 2015, is a content discussion, not to be discussed here.

Maybe it would be better if the article wasn't named after the individual but rather was about the incident since that seems to already be what the article is about. Even pages for murderers have early life sections not "life before the crime" sections. Currently I think there is a negative point of view in the overall writing of this article but if it wasn't a BLP page than that would change things.

Purple Revolution

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

This article is about a politically biased and historically unsupported name for the 2003-2005 regime change in Iraq, which already has non-biased articles such as Iraq War, and Iraqi parliamentary election, December 2005. "Purple Revolution" is not an accurate term, nor more objectively is it a popular term. It is used by a small subset of people to color (no pun intended) the discussion of the related events. Furthermore, the article lacks much content or substantiation. If any mention of the "Purple Revolution" is necessary, it could be merely a small part of the Color Revolution and/or Election ink articles. NobleHam ( talk) 14:41, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete my searches turned up almost no references to this, instead almost all discussing Nigel Farage's book of the same name. This suggests that the term is a WP:NEO that never attracted much attention beyond some blogs and internet commenters. I don't think this meets the WP:GNG, unless someone can bring a reliable source that discusses this in depth, but I wasn't able to find one.

Response: Once again, you misrepresent the nature of the "no consensus". In October 2015, several editors pointed out to you and others that at least some of the then block nomination articles clearly met GNG, and that you should not nominate them all in a block, nor nominate any of them separately without doing any research on them. You waited a couple of months, and then, without notifying all (and probably without notifying any) of the editors who had opposed you, made another block nomination (made up partially of PROD nominations, all of which were clearly inappropriate) without doing any research. The fact that the block nomination was made on separate pages does not mean that it was not a block nomination. When it was then pointed out to you that you have followed the wrong procedures and that there is still no consensus, you rely upon some of the outcomes of that procedurally inappropriate block nomination to support your contention that there is an "emerging consensus". I repeat: there is no consensus. Your further contention that mine is a minority view is irrelevant - even if only one editor is able to point out either GNG or procedural inappropriateness, a nomination should fail. I say that it is both highly inappropriate and disruptive for you to nominate simultaneously so many similar articles for deletion when you have already been told not to do so, particularly when you have not done the research you have also been told to do before nominating them. How do you expect other editors to have the time to find the material for GNG when you are nominating them all of them all at once? Bahnfrend ( talk) 03:16, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm sorry, who are you again to be telling other editors what to do and what not to do? Sorry. Your argument doesn't really hold water. And might I suggest at this point you WP:DROPTHESTICK, which several other editors have asked you to do. You really need to read more carefully, and then formulate your arguments more fully. First, I was not involved in the initial block AfD (as you call it) at all. Didn't nominate the non-notable interchanges, didn't join the discussion. Stumbled on the non-notable interchanges all by my lonesome. Second, it was not my contention that there was "emerging consensus", that was another editor's viewpoint. When you disregard that, you get called to the woodshed, showing the overwhelming consensus in 6 other AfD discussions on this same topic. So when you get so many of the facts incorrect, its difficult to listen to anything else you have to say. You shouting from the rooftops that you are right does not make you so. Your lack of civility, and personal attacks are simply becoming more frantic and disconcerting. Again, please drop the stick. And, yes, I am still awaiting for your apology. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 04:08, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment Those references that you added in the "History" section are trivial passing mentions that devote no significant coverage whatsoever to this interchange. Longest beer table? Really?

- Response: This group nomination concerns a group of articles about subject matter located outside the Anglosphere and considered by more than one other Wikipedia to be notable. I have found other material about this interchange and other interchanges within that group.

  - Comment - and those tidbits you've added to several of the articles add nothing towards the notability of any of those articles. Nice effort, though.

    - Response: You're the nominator, so you're not a disinterested assessor of whether they pass GNG or not.

Comment - note to closing editor - none of the keep !votes address the lack of notability. Even those !votes which say it does pass WP:GNG don't say how it does, and the current sourcing is about the autobahns, in which this interchange is mentioned. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 05:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Again you talk about wp:notability, when deletion of a topic requires that the topic be BOTH non-notable and insignificant. I've asked you before words to the effect, "Given our policy to fix problems not delete them, why are you trying to get this topic deleted, when if non-notability is your concern, you could be !voting to redirect or merge to one of the two autobahn articles?". For our encyclopedia, this issue is more important than non-notability. Unscintillating ( talk) 12:14, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply
It is interesting that you mention the blur between that which is the autobahn, and that which is the autobahnkreuz. This has come up before in our discussion about WP:GEOROAD, which indicates that we want coverage of the autobahn "network". The long numbered roads and the autobahnkreuzes are all part of the same object. Respectfully, Unscintillating ( talk) 12:14, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment - what's interesting is your continued refusal to address the lack of notability, and your refusal to see the overriding consensus developing in these discussions. The argument you use above has been discounted in several other AfD discussions. In almost 50 discussions which have been closed, only 2 have reached the conclusion to "keep" (one was my own withdrawal of the nomination). Regardless, take care. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:50, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

I could get more into a discussion with you about wp:notability, but you don't seem to me to reflect acceptance of the difference between GNG, WP:GEOROAD, and the 2016 version of WP:N. To me, your GNG-centric viewpoint became less substantive when I learned at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dreieck Kassel-Süd that you dismiss the 2014 material at hna.de as "trivial mentions and routine coverage", and I learned at the AfD for Dreieck Walsrode that you've disregarded a non-prose GNG source (a map) as "totally trivial". I think that any pretense that a topic with daily traffic of 160,000 is unknown to the world at large over a period of time, is argumentative.
To respond to the argumentum ad populum, your GNG-focus is possibly a mask for the question of if there is sufficient GNG material to write an article, which has not been a requirement since 2007 in WP:N. The fine points that decide whether a WP:V WP:RS government source is independent for GNG is not an issue when finding material for writing an article that is mostly technical wikiGnome work, not opinion. Similarly, maps have not been disputed as WP:V WP:RS for writing articles.
If you want more WP:V WP:RS sources to write an article, what have you done to locate them? These kreuz and dreieck topics typically have four or five common search names, "Kreuz Duisburg", "Autobahnkreuz Duisburg", "AK Duisburg", "Duisburg Kreuz", and possibly "Duisburg Interchange". If you've been checking all of these search terms, it might be helpful to the other editors to add the "Find sources" templates for each.
But I'm also willing to meet you on your terms and discuss the case as if this topic is non-notable, because I'm focused on building an encyclopedia and retaining our content contributors, and I don't have a strong opinion about whether this topic should be standalone or covered in one of the two autobahn articles. The elephant in the room is that non-notability is not what matters most here for the encyclopedia. As far as I know, no case has ever been attempted to show that this topic is both non-notable and insignificant. Respectfully, Unscintillating ( talk) 15:44, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Final comment - Your recalcitrance and refusal to recognize the, what by now is, overwhelming consensus regarding this issue, makes further discourse unproductive. Take care. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:37, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

( edit conflict) "Recalcitrance" is a form of an appeal to authority based on an argumentum ad populum. An English Wikipedia policy is a "widely accepted standard that all editors should normally follow." Which should editors follow? However, because of your sincerity, I think that you continue to advance the discussion. Thank you, Unscintillating ( talk) 18:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete. There is nothing special here. It's an interchange. Two highways come together and there's ramps that let you get from one to the other. Just like every other highway interchange in the world. See WP:RAWDATA.

Delete As I wrote on a previous AFD on one of these generic interchange articles, we don't automatically presume that generic interchanges are notable, and there's nothing particular about this one that would cause it to stand out above the 1000s of others. Hallward's Ghost ^(Kevin) ^{(

Delete In addition to relying on Nom's check on the references in the article, I tried searching a number of different way, including "Key west Method" + hunting. found nothing. Then there is the text, if you swam up on a sea turtle from behind and strangled it to death as suggested here, unless you were swimming right beside a seafood market, you would lose a lot of money. Turtles, like lobsters and oysters, were sold for the table live. Kill one using the "Key West Method," and You could sell the valuable turtle shell, but the meat would have been rendered worthless. Turtle meat was in high demand, and the turtle fishery was about the market for both meat and shell. See: Thompson Fish House, Turtle Cannery and Kraals.

Delete. Despite assertion that he is a QB for the Patriots, he has not appeared in an NFL game and is not listed on the Patriots' roster (see here) and therefore does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON.

Delete - Non-notable college football player and wannabe pro. The subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards) or pro football players per WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in a regular season NFL game). Based on my review of 200+ Google hits, the subject does not satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. I did find a single article from The Boston Globe in which Asprilla was the principal subject [47], but that by itself is insufficient to get him over the GNG hump.

Merge to Bundesautobahn 6 with template:R with possibilities We have a complete structure of German autobahns in the encyclopedia. We even have separate templates for Dreieck and Kreuz.

This is sufficient to know that there is no policy basis to delete the "topic", also known on Wikipedia as the "subject".
