No claim of significant notability; fails WP:GNG. NOTE: Editors may wish to also review previous versions; recent rollback due to copyvio concerns. - Ryk72 ^'c.s.n.s.' 23:12, 18 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep. I'm leaning toward keep. Here's some coverage I found: [1] from The New York Observer, [2] from The New York Sun, [3] from New York, and [4] from People (a profile from 1976). Also, she was selected " Best Wedding Planner" by New York magazine in 2001. The Wikipedia article claimed 2005, too, but I can't find that at nymag.com. There are also some hits on Google Books, such as [5] from New York and some archived hits from The New York Times Magazine, but Google Books doesn't have a preview for them. The coverage is heavily slanted toward New York media, especially New York magazine, but these are not small publications. Some of these articles are a bit short, and I found a few more that were even shorter, but I think it's probably enough to demonstrate notability.

• Keep - The article needs work, but the People and The New York Sun references that NinjaRobotPirate found contain sufficient biographical information to construct a decent biography, and satisfy WP:GNG when combined with available paragraphs from the various other independent reliable sources cited.

The lists of soft news and talk shows does not strike me as encyclopedia-worthy. To borrow a name from her client list, Billy Joel has no doubt appeared on many similar infotainment programs, but we don't list them in his biography because they aren't why Joel is notable. They aren't defining, they're just part of celebrity. Similarly, rather than speling out every publication that has run an article to which she contributed, summarize the topics she has written about and type of publications (e.g. bridal, lifestyle) she has written for, unless she was a regular columnist for one or more of them. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 06:38, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• I cannot believe that the Austrian Journal of Statistics is a journal that is marked for deleteion. We exist since the 60's. We are listed at - Ulrichsweb - DOAJ - and many other indices. We are not in Scopus but it is already verfified. We are not in JCR, but we applied without success. We are open-access without fees for authors. We are not one of the non-serious journals that takes fees from the authors. We have a malfunction practice of 5 pages (see www.ajs.or.at). The organisation behind is the Austrian Statistical Society. Why such a journal should not be listed in Wikipedia? Only because we are not at the Thompson-Reuters list (JCR)? Can you believe that it is hard to get accepted by them when you are open-access without fees? We would be a too serious competitor for the traditional journals that takes horrible fees for open-access. Wikipedia should support free and open-access journals by listing them. Otherwise we do not have any chance against the Springer and Thompson-Reuters world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthias99991 ( talk • contribs) 11:09, March 6, 2016‎

• I added a link to 2 listings of the journal (Australian Mathematical Society and DOAJ) alexkowa —Preceding undated comment added 14:00, 7 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia and not intended to support OA, Springer, Thomson-Reuters, or anything. thanks for adding those indices, but these are listings that are routinely removed from journal articles (as are, e.g., mentions of being included in GScholar) because they are not selective in the sense of NJournals. -- Randykitty ( talk) 14:17, 7 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment I would be surprised if such an old journal wouldn't meet our notability guidelines, but I agree that right now, there's little to support this journal's notability (scoring a C on the Australian Mathematical Society ranking is likewise not very impressive, given this makes it equal to the Smarandache Notions Journal [8]). Notability might be easier to established if looking up German sources. Creating an article on the Austrian Statistical Society and merging the content there would be preferable to deletion if the journal itself doesn't meet our notability guidelines.

• Delete. No evidence of notability by Wikipedia standards. The reasons given by the one editor (with a coi) wanting to keep it amount to saying that we should keep the article for promotional purposes, and so they are not consistent with Wikipedia policy ("Wikipedia should support free and open-access journals by listing them.

• Redirect if needed. Delete as all of this is questionable for the applicable journals (WP:MEDIA) notability. Asking DGG for education analysis. SwisterTwister talk 21:02, 22 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Redirect to Comparison of statistics journals Austrian Statistical Society , where it is mentioned. Color me surprised that a long running journal like this doesn't already have an impact factor assigned to it, or an article somewhere on the journal's history. I was unable to find sources that either satisfied WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Headbomb's idea of merging to a Society article is a good one, but must await that article. Despite lack of sources for notability, basic facts about the journal are verifiable, perhaps enough to warrant an entry in Comparison of statistics journals. Update: Thanks go to DGG for the creating the Austrian Statistical Society article. It is the better redirect target. -- Mark viking ( talk) 22:08, 22 March 2016 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to the Society. If the article were not at AfD, I would normally do something like that by moving the article and adding a sentence or two. But to avoid confusion, I started the article Austrian Statistical Society as a stub, with a link to the article on the journal, and will transfer the material later, giving attribution. If anyone cares later, they can do a history merge; my rate of success in doing it properly is 50%, soI no longer attempt the procedure. The journal was known until recently as Osterreichische Zeitschrift für Statistik-- the history of changes of title is unclear from the OCLC record, but I'll track it down.

This two-liner about a "civil society organization" could be speedy-deleted A7 (no claim of significance), but I think it should have a full discussion in case of re-creation, because a previous version, deleted by PROD, made large and deceptive claims, and the article author, Sharifshakurbey ( talk · contribs), who appears to be the "Supreme Grand Sheik" of the organization, has been trying to insert it in articles like Morocco-United States relations and List of diplomatic missions in the United States. The former Wikipedia article is also referenced on its Facebook page.

I have restored the history, so that the previous version can be seen here. That version claimed that Sharif Shakur Bey is "acting Consulate General, Minister of Diplomatic Relations... and Ambassador to the United Nations" and that the organization is "the diplomatic body that represents the Moroccan Empire." It was illustrated with this picture, which is actually the Moroccan Embassy in Stockholm.

The title "Empire of Morocco" was sometimes used in pre-colonial times, but there is no such entity now: the modern country is the Kingdom of Morocco which has a Consulate General in New York.

The claim to be "registered with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs" is true but not significant: UNDESA's register contains over 40,000 groups. The entry gives its headquarters address as "Moroccan Empire, Morocco".

Conclusion: the organization exists but is not notable, and is attempting to use Wikipedia to imply bogus claims of diplomatic status and connection with the current Kingdom of Morocco. JohnCD ( talk) 20:52, 18 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete - I don't know if it is satire, but at first glance it does look like a referenced article comparing histories of Sony in terms of their legitimacy. But I don't see why this needs a different article when there's already an article History of Sony. Perhaps there could be a merge of some of this information, but it would take considerable effort. It's hard to trust an article that the first author calls satire that he wants deleted once it is completed. Michitaro ( talk) 16:57, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply
• Comment: I'm going to go ahead and just delete this, since I don't see it closing any other way. Given that the editor has openly stated that the article is satire, we can't trust any of this to be true and it'd take a lot of work to verify the content - assuming that any of it is usable. I'm extremely disappointed in both the student and the editor, since this is not how you're supposed to use Wikipedia as an educational assignment. All I can hope is that the teacher does see this and will refrain from letting their students to vandalize Wikipedia as part of an educational assignment. On the talk page the student claimed that the teacher didn't specifically ask for this, but at some level the teacher had to have been asking for some sort of vandalism for this to be a graded assignment. Fair warning to the student: if this happens again you run a very serious risk of getting blocked from editing, as purposeful vandalizing is not acceptable on Wikipedia, for a grade or otherwise.

• Delete: Another of the hundreds of NN hockey bio articles thrown up by Dolovis in defiance of the NHOCKEY criteria, all in search of some mythical article creation Game High Score. This one is a perfect example of Dolovis' serial bad faith. While no sources are presented discussing the subject at all, at any length, someone who superficially glanced at the article might say "Oh! He played in the KHL, so that's a prima facie pass on NHOCKEY as having played in a top-level league!" Look at the one source presented, though (a team stats list from the season in question), and it shows that while the subject may have been on the roster -- and only this one source claims as much -- he didn't see any match action.

  It's long been the standard at NSPORTS (and something of which a sports article creator of Dolovis' longevity and edit count is well aware) that simply being on a roster confers no notability; one must play in a regular season or playoff match in order to get that. A casual glance -- as well as checking against the EuroHockey and hockeydb.com sites -- verifies that the subject never has played top-flight hockey. Unfortunately, this is a common stunt of the creator's of the "I'm betting no one checks the source" variety, which is why he's under a community ban from article creation.

This Biography does not meet WP:BASIC there is no claim of Notability and no in-depth coverage by independent reliable sources. Also it is pretty clear that it is a promotional article, the creator marrovi claimed to be the subject of the BLP himself at his userpage in the Spanish project ( see here). He has created the autobiography in various projects in an apparent conflict of interest and cross-wiki spam. Its deletion is also currently under discussion at the ca project ( see here), where all current votes are to delete it. I beleive it meets the requirements for Speedy deletion under WP:A7 and WP:G11, but I open this debate since the article has been around since June 2015 and more than one editor has made contributions and as a request by Rosymonterrey following up a debate in the Spanish admin noticeboard ( see here).

• Delete - Spam cross wiki. It is a serious case of self-promotion and reiterative creation of hoaxes in many Wikipedias, see.

Wikipedia is not news. Everyday there are a few crime related news that gets media coverage and then forgotten in India. Greek Legend ( talk) 13:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Second comment There are many crime cases which are remembered years after but they don't have any Wikipedia articles as "2004 Siwan double murder" (two young men were drenched in acid and killed by a criminal politician). "1984 Vinod Mehta murder" ( a senior cop stabbed to death with his eyes gouged out in 1984 by criminals). I didn't know anything about previous nomination. In the previous nomination the nominator mentioned about historical significance of a crime related news, public the protests against the crime. Those who vote keep are only looking at the number. There was no public protest as he killed his own family of 14. Till today this is still a breaking news. It's not like those American cases where someone enters a school and stabs random kids, or random people. I know more about Indian crime and Indian news. International coverage is not enough.

Comment: are we seriously going to be relisting this page for discussion every few days? Surely that's not normal practice, is it? JMWt ( talk) 18:11, 18 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment This is not a case of mass stabbing. This is about a psycho killing his own family members. The family was large-that's the reason of 14 deaths. If the family would have been three members then it would look natural. This is not about deleting non-American articles. The news remained headlines for few hours and then dropped by Indian media. I didn't see it as headlines or as top ten news from next day. This is a breaking news. American, European families are generally small. So, this is getting wrong importance.

Redundant and poorly sourced.

• Soft redirect using Template:Wiktionary redirect. I think the salient point is, as Uanfala says, that at the moment it looks like WP:DICTIONARY. I'm not sure architecture is the primary topic for this; I've mostly come across the term in the context of Kantian philosophy and many of the Google results it turns up are related to that or other "architectonic" forms of philosophy. Unless and until someone creates an architectonic philosophy article or similar, though, it makes most sense to just redirect this to Wiktionary. — Nizolan ^(talk) 17:43, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Struck and changing to keep per Rhododendrites below. I also didn't notice that the Kantian philosophy link was in fact to Kantian architectonics, which is already a (perfectly justified) redirect. With C. S. Peirce as well—he also comes up on the first page of Google results for the term—I think there's enough material for this to be a dab and not just a Wiktionary redirect, though I'm still iffy about the other two definitions the page offers. — Nizolan ^(talk) 20:14, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep - I've just revised the page. It now has a distinct and relevant bluelink on each line. Peirce's architectonic is also a notable concept that could sustain its own article, but for now is mentioned in the article about him. Architecture, structure, Kant, and Peirce justify a disambiguation. @ Nizolan and Finnusertop: does this change your opinion? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep per Rhododendrites' reasoning and page improvements. This looks like a reasonable DAB page now, with verifiable topics. -- Mark viking ( talk) 20:22, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply
• Keep — Please add these considerations to the others on the "keep" side. The Architecture article does not even mention architectonics which, in the context of architecture, as I remember well from my Cooper Union days, is one of the foundational requirements in learning the art of architecture, much as drawing forms the foundation of the art of painting. And just as one may criticize a painting for it's drawing problems, buildings and landscape designs are criticized for their archtectonic problems. It probably deserves its own article or at least a section in the Architecture one. See the Cooper Union online catalog listing [11]and also this [12] from Texas Tech. But I did not arrive here because of that use of the term anyway, but because I came across the term twice today in a context where I had not seen it earlier: Aristotelian studies: (1) Chapter 9 of Theory and Practice in Aristotle's Natural Science, ed. David Ebrey, an article by M. R. Johnson, "Aristotle's architectonic sciences," [13] and (2) in a BMCR review [14] of Aristotle's Physics: A Critical Guide. Also missing from the disambiguation page is Center for Functional Engineered Nano Architectonics - which suggests that the term is also in use in computer architecture, and has been for many years in the discussion of major forms such as Von Neuman versus parallel designs. See "Computer Architectonics" [15]. — Blanchette ( talk) 03:51, 24 March 2016 (UTC) reply

The result was no consensus. I'm totally discounting the unsigned comments from IP editors with no history. The comment by Aeonx, while ostensibly arguing to keep, is really giving reasons which support deletion.

So, that leaves us with Justlettersandnumbers and SwisterTwister making cogent arguments to delete, and Atlantic306 making a good argument to keep. I find Altantic's argument that, The New York Times and London Evening Standard articles are enough, to be compelling.

Comment: The above are not policy arguments for keep. We'd need reliable sources to show that the term is used and notable enough to have a page as per the WP:GNG and the WP:RS.

• Delete. We already have Coastal South West India. None of the references added to the article even mention the term "South West India". Yes, you can find the term in several books, but not in the context of "Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu, parts of Tamil Nadu" -- the books generally use this term vaguely, to describe anything from Malabar region to Kerala + parts of Tamil Nadu. Much of the information in this article is copy-pasted from other articles such as History of Goa, History of Karnataka and History of Kerala. utcursch | talk 15:29, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• This is written like a résumé, almost entirely in bullet point form, rather than like an encyclopedia article. It makes no substantive claim of notability under any of our inclusion standards for any of his endeavours — even as a "politician", he's just asserted as a PR spokesman for his party rather than an elected or appointed holder of any notable political office. And of the sources that have been shown, all three of them are about things that he's claimed to have been associated with, while failing to actually contain even one single mention of his name by which we could possibly verify his claimed involvement in them — so WP:GNG has not been passed either.

This is totally original research. No sources discuss both actual bears and actual bulls together, except briefly, in passing. Though the article is pretty coy and doesn't actually say it, it's not about bulls or bears, but the stock market. There's already an article about stock market bulls and bears Market trends, but even that is pretty iffy. The situation is analogous to having an article entitled "Pluto versus Uranus" with some text just about the former planet Pluto, some text just about Uranus, but the main topics being about a comic book character and your rectum.

• Delete a completely useless juxtaposition of two animals, trying to synthesize... something. It isn't gibberish but as a concept for an article, it's of no practical use to anyone, from what I can see, other than perhaps the author. It's obviously inspired by his more successful Atlas the Barbary lion versus the Bengal tiger of Simla, which is about some mythic animal contest. Here, he takes the bear/bull stock market metaphor to offer readers a tale of the tape, as it were. I wonder if he plans to do this for every time two animals are mentioned in an expression?

• Keep The nomination is quite mistaken. Bull/bear fights were a popular spectator sport in California and there are numerous sources which document this in detail.

( talk) 21:12, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I don't follow your reasoning; bear and bull fights existed therefore it is reasonable to have a page comparing relatively random features of those two animals? Are you saying that Apples and oranges should be kept if it contained only a description of each of the fruits? Surely the whole point of this page should be that it is a phrase reflecting a spectator sport in parts of California. The actual comparison is a surely fairly obviously WP:OR - so the best you are arguing is that the page should be WP:TNT and started over to reflect those things rather than trying to compare physical features. JMWt ( talk) 10:36, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

If that's the case, Andrew, then it seems to me then Bear_versus_bull#History_of_fighting is the article. The rest, with all the taxonomy (if that's the right word) about each species individually belongs on their main articles. Unless someone is willing to repurpose the article about this historic bloodsport, then I agree with JMWt that WP:TNT applies. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 12:58, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Would you say something similar to the author of Tiger versus lion? Leo1pard ( talk) 13:53, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

the article that's been tagged as in need of attention since 2014? Yes I probably would say something similar to that distinguished author, whoever he might be. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 14:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I restructured it. Leo1pard ( talk) 10:40, 26 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Reply Please take a look at the articles in the Category:Blood sports tree. I think those might offer a better format for covering animal fighting in California rather than the Animal 1 vs. Animal 2 model. RevelationDirect ( talk) 17:18, 19 March 2016 (UTC) reply

But would you say that for the article Tiger versus lion, which is also more than about organized fights between the mentioned animals? Leo1pard ( talk) 03:53, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

As far as I'm concerned, Tiger versus lion is a more notable idea for a page, and is better executed than this one because it contains a lot of sources which specifically describe the fight between tiger and lion - whereas you've just compared two different animals as if you are playing top trumps. As I said above, I can accept that organised fights between bear and bull happened - providing you find references you can cite to it, not just to the physical features of both beasts - but this isn't the way to write a page about it. At best, you need to WP:TNT it. JMWt ( talk) 10:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Very well, I started something. Leo1pard ( talk) 13:53, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment: Absolutely in agreement with JMWt here and Shawn's comment above. If kept, the article should be moved to Bear and bull fights (with a redirect from the converse), with material not directly related to bear and bull fights removed and not re-added (nb: There also appears to be Roman-era bear-bull baiting). If predation of cattle by bears happened to be significant enough, then that would belong under one or more bear articles. ^~ Hydronium^~Hydroxide^{~ (Talk)~} 00:19, 25 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Yes. TvL is better structured, but could do with a significant prune and focussing (noting that it was far cleaner, though apparently a magnet for edit warring, in earlier revisions). Such paragraphs as "In Afghanistan, it is possible that lions occurred at least in the southwest and southern parts.[7] Tigers bred at the upper reaches of the Hari Rud or Tedzhen Darya at Herat.[29][7] Tigers were found at a tributary of the Amu Darya called the ‘Pyandzh River’, from where they would invade what is now Tajikistan, and the Geri, Kunduz and Murghab Rivers.[7]" I'd consider WP:COATRACK -- they don't intersect the topic of tigers and lions. Similarly, the page and a half of physiology (expanded from a couple of paragraphs in earlier versions) should be in species articles.

In a Bear and bull fights article, one way of structuring things might be along the lines of:

* Lede - brief summation of the article focussed on Bear vs bull fights. The current lede is in no way so focussed. Sample from the top of my head -- definitely wildly accurate:

"Bear-and-bull fights were a blood sport, normally held between a single bear and one domestic bull. They originated in Rome in 24 AD, and ran until 347 AD when they were ceased by an edict by the Emperor Anonimus. Bear-and-bull fights resumed in modern times in Mexico in the late 18th century, first appearing in the Plaza del Toros in Juarez, and spreading regionally from there. They were imported to California no later than 1849, when an exhibition match was held in...")

* History (Rome-> Mexico -> California -> anywhere more modern->last recorded fight) - specific attested bear-vs-bull tactics could go here against locational reports or in its own section, depending on what reads most cleanly.

* In nature (selected attested examples only of direct bear and bull/cattle fights - not supposition about what could have occured and that cattle and bears may have been in the same region)

* In literature and art (attested examples only dealing with bull vs bear)

• Delete per violation of WP:OR, WP:GNG, and the limits of common sense. The main problem with this article is that it discusses an actual conflict between a bear and a bull, whereas the only place where "bear vs. bull" has any notability is in political cartoons (bear market, bull market). The references reflect this: the verification for the claim that "the topic of bear vs. bull is popular" comes from two sources, which, respectively, are "Investopedia" and amazon.com. Other attempts at verification fail miserably; reports of bears attacking bull bison (which are just male bison, not actual bulls) are used as proof of bear vs. bull conflicts, and Native American folk tales are cited as factual sources. This article may also violate WP:FRINGE, since I doubt that instances of bears fighting bulls are broadly supported by any sort of reputable scholarship. As has been stated above, this article is useless. Anyone who wants to compare bears and bulls can look at the separate articles and do so on their own time. Colonel Wilhelm Klink ( Complaints| Mistakes) 00:45, 21 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Incorrect, the book on the popularity of the topic, which I mentioned, does not have to be accessed only on Amazon.com, if you check the details of the reference which I put down in the article. Leo1pard ( talk) 06:07, 21 March 2016 (UTC) reply

You're right; I went on Google Books and found the information. I must apologize for jumping to conclusions. But two things: first of all, when you reference a book and provide a link, you should make sure that the link provides the information you've cited, not just the name of the book or the fact that the book exists. And secondly: this article still contains quite a bit of irrelevant information. If the verification for the continued existence of this article is that bear-bull fights took place historically, this should be the main point of the article, as this is the only case where "bear vs. bull" appears to be notable. However, in my opinion, this topic still fails general notability, even in the historical sense, as the only place where the issue is discussed is in one highly specialized source (a concise history of one subspecies of brown bear). If you can back up your claims of notability with multiple recent third-party sources (not just sources discussing bears and bulls separately, but discussing them in this context), then WP:GNG will be met. Additionally, it's nonsense to consider a bull to be "any male member of the subfamily bovinae"; for example, is this a bull? (It is a member of the subfamily bovinae.) The term "bull" is used to describe the males of many species, including such varied creatures as whales, but not all "bulls" are bulls. In conclusion, unless this article receives major changes and a large number of reliable sources, I'm afraid it's still "delete" material in my opinion. Colonel Wilhelm Klink ( Complaints| Mistakes) 18:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I have reformatted the article to talk about Bovini- bovinae that are domesticated, or can be so, to make things simpler. Leo1pard ( talk) 04:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC) reply

More had been added. Leo1pard ( talk) 04:29, 26 March 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Colonel Wilhelm Klink: it is true that one of the references is incorrectly formatted, but it is wrong to say that the link must provide the information cited. There are plenty of references in use on wikipedia which are not fully available and open so the information is not accessible by clicking on a link. These can still be used as reliable sources. JMWt ( talk) 22:03, 22 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I have corrected the link to remove an unnecessary link to Amazon. But it is still a delete for me. JMWt ( talk) 22:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC) reply

@ JMWt: I understand; I was merely pointing out to Leo1pard that the use of clearer citations would make it easier for every editor looking to verify information. In this case, the information was fully available via Google Books; sending the reference there would have been more logical than sending it to Amazon. In any case, I apologize for any misconduct on my part.
