Poorly sourced vanity article of non notable person. Stellaseeker ( talk) 23:09, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep Kinda new to wikipedia and not really sure how to stop this article from deletion. The page is about an musician, composer and television personality from the UK. She has recently changed her stage name but, still has notable work under her other names. - TV Work under the name Vicky Fallon [1] as a composer under the name O’neill and as singer ( in the band smoke2seven) for a song that charted in the UK [2] Also preformed under Fallon as a featured artist and as composer for the song by Alan Braxe called nightwatcher [3] What would be the steps to correct the sources as I feel the article provides many examples of her notable work?

  • Replace with a redirect to Abz Love. I'm not convinced of her notability, much of which derives from Abz Love and Smoke 2 Seven (who may be notable, having had a UK #26 single). People aren't notable on the basis of either people they're in a relationship with or bands they are in, so a redirect to Abz Love might be more appropriate (well-cited material might be merged there, or an article on Smoke 2 Seven might be created). Sources cited are generally tabloid gossip-style coverage, which isn't a good source per WP:RS. She doesn't meet WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSICIAN in her own right, and hasn't done much as a songwriter (a Sugababes b-side and the occasional other release but no big hits, as far as I can tell). -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 13:26, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Based on WP:COMPOSER item 1. Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition, does she not meet the criteria? I feel as a co-writer on 2 songs with Smoke 2 seven that have charted would qualify. Same with the writing credits for the song with Alan Braxe which was released as a single, she was also a featured artist on that track. Ashlee444 ( talk)

I am having a hard time coming up with a specific WP guideline to cite here, but to me this doesn't seem notable enough to have it's own WP page. One source is cited as calling the 4 players the "Fantastic Four." The closest parallel I could draw was "The Dream Team" and even a notable nickname such as that one still directs to the page 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team.

Fair enough, but I don't see why the history section of the main article isn't enough. I feel like that section should be improved rather than have two separate and largely redundant texts. Tonystewart14 ( talk) 22:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
 Comment: @ Tonystewart14: A lot of other bands don't have separate history articles. If the effort was made, you could move the information to the main article without compromising quality, I am sure the main article could be re-evaluated for FA status. Mr. C.C. Hey yo! I didn't do it! 00:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
This article is made up of the stuff purged from the main article during the FA review..... best not to jam it back in......one of the reasons it lost its FA Satu was because this merger was tried.....and lead to FA demotion......lots of work went in to moving this stuff back to this article . Moxy ( talk)
  •  Comment: @ Moxy: By your logic, you can't be bothered to actually go through the information and move it to the main article with sources to help up the quality. Black Sabbath has a hstory that is just as long as Rush, but they don't have their own history article. Why is Rush given preferential treatment? Mr. C.C. Hey yo! I didn't do it! 00:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I'm a little puzzled... if you have a separate "History" article it's usually because it's much larger than the "summary" in the main article... but that doesn't seem to be the case here – it's only about 300 words longer (out of nearly 5000), which suggests it's largely a duplication of Rush (band)#History, so it doesn't really explain why a separate article is needed or why the main article can't be improved instead. Richard3120 ( talk) 23:34, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Duplicative of the history section of Rush. Huge swaths of unsourced fan essay, as opposed to the band page, which is sourced out pretty well. Sort of resembles a POV fork in that regard. Carrite ( talk) 23:15, 26 August 2017 (UTC) reply

The article relies heavily on primary sources and the subject of the article is only marginally notable. This article appears to be a vanity article and puffery piece. Has some recent press mention and some published works, but overall does not appear to be a mainstream researcher based on the listed sources in the article. Wikipedia certainly cannot list every single college professor who has written papers unless they have somehow distinguished themselves in a particular field. I have reviewed many of his papers and I don't find them particularly notable. His political career may be notable, but I would like to see the views of other editors regarding this. Any college professor can dump white papers by publishing in journals but they have to be distinguished and notable to warrant an article on Wikipedia. Octoberwoodland ( talk) 21:35, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • I disagree with Octoberwoodland. Daniel Kammen is clearly a dinstinguished professor and currently the center of a major news story for resigning from his state department post in reaction to President Trump's actions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ask4me10 ( talk • contribs) 21:43, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Although I mightily disagree with the political views of Kammen and his interpretation of President Trump's comments, I don't see any reason why his career shouldn't warrant a Wikipedia page. Being selected as a U.S. Science Envoy by the State Department, in addition to his position at Berkeley, is certainly notable and much more than the average college professor. I wouldn't say the current news story is that significant, but altogether Kammen's resume shouldn't justify deletion. Octoberwoodland describes many of Kammen's papers not "particularly notable" -- I'll credit him for speaking his opinion, but certainly the State Department and UC-Berkeley didn't think his papers were "trashy" (although I hate the majority of university professors for my own way).- A Guest — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.254.206 ( talk) 21:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Passes WP:ACADEMIC. Google scholar search shows that his scholarship is widely cited in his field satisfying criteria 1. His position as science envoy satisfies criteria 2. His position as a fellow at the African Academy of Sciences satisfies criteria 3. He is a distinguished professor at UC-Berkeley which satisfies criteria 5. These are more objective criteria than "does not appear to be a mainstream researcher" and "I have reviewed many of his papers and I don't find them particularly notable". Further the rationale of "Any college professor can dump volumes of trashy white papers with their brain farts by publishing in journals" shows a contempt to WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Morbidthoughts ( talk) 23:05, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Snow keep — Another time-wasting deletion attempt because somebody's name was in the news. Easily meets WP:NACADEMIC #3 for membership in selective groups (four times over: 1 Energy and Resources Group, 2. Goldman School of Public Policy, 3. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and 4. U.S. Science Envoy). Also meets WP:NACADEMIC #5: holds or has held a named chair/distinguished professor chair, for being the 1935 Distinguished Professor of Energy at UC Berkeley. And then there's the small thing of being one of the lead authors of the IPCC report that shared the 2007 Nobel Prize, meeting NACADEMIC #2, or just GNG. Also meets WP:AUTHOR for having written a significant body of work consisting of hundreds of journal articles, and 12 books, at least several of which have "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". Significant news and book coverage of Daniel Kammen spans back at least as far back as 2001, meeting WP:GNG. So at a cursory glance, the subject has met at SEVEN separate criteria for notability, any one of which is sufficient. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 23:21, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Well, you make some good arguments, however, all of these references and sources you rely on are not currently in the article or properly sourced, which leaves us with a poorly written and poorly sourced article. How about adding some of them to the article so his accomplishments are properly represented. As it stands, the current article fails to mention all this wonderful content you seem to have located online. I am having a hard time determining which of it would be useful or relevant. How about you add some of it to this article so it does not get deleted. Octoberwoodland ( talk) 02:09, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Keep per Bratland. @Octoberwoodland: I don't think Wikipedia works that way. The purpose of this discussion is to determine whether this page warrants deletion. Useful contributions should not be press-ganged into additional work beyond the original spirit of contribution. Any person here can make these edits. If they don't get made, it's because each of us decided—for our own reasons—that we had better outlets for our energy on the margin.
To make a point, I just googled "IPCC Daniel Kammen", second link: "Daniel Kam­men is a coor­di­nat­ing lead author for the Inter­gov­ern­men­tal Panel on Cli­mate Change (IPCC), which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007." This from erg.berkeley.edu
Furthermore: "Kam­men is the author of over 300 jour­nal pub­li­ca­tions, 6 books, 30 tech­ni­cal reports, and has tes­ti­fied in front of state and US House and Sen­ate over 30 times." This is not difficult stuff, the subject is hardly hiding under an obscure rock. — MaxEnt 02:55, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Firstly, I should disclose my COI as an employee of the company in question. I am also a newcomer to Wikipedia and attribute any initial disruptive editing to this. I believe that I have put my case forward in a neutral and civil manner and in keeping with Wikipedia's guidelines. To get a full picture, it is probably best to visit the talk page for World News Media Talk:World_News_Media Content on the page, even after subsequent edits appears biased and as such WP:NPOV is violated. WP:CORP is also violated as the company has no inherent or inherited notability Scottrouse ( talk) 14:30, 23 August 2017 (UTC) Creating deletion discussion for World News Media reply

  • Keep The company and its awards have sufficient coverage to satisfy the GNG. Philafrenzy ( talk) 22:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment The majority of the sources given are press releases or self-published content and therefore notability has not been established. The editors have not taken into account NPOV. To quote the guidelines: "Editors, while naturally having their own points of view, should strive in good faith to provide complete information, and not to promote one particular point of view over another". While considerable efforts have been made over the past day or so, the article remains woefully unbalanced. You focus solely on one of our publications and our awards in order to prop up what appears to be a malevolent agenda while refusing to engage in any meaningful discussion or indeed explain your edits despite repeated calls to do so. I still welcome meaningful discussion from the editors Scottrouse ( talk) 23:26, 23 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep but trim I feel there are enough sources that provide significant coverages towards the company to keep the article, but we need to trim awards / claims that are soley based on primary sources, whether from this company or from the Botswana Corprate Watchdog group. It's going to be much smaller, but that's probably correct for a company like this and given the existing secondary sources. Ravensfire ( talk) 01:34, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep It is helpful to have numerous sources in order to demonstrate that this company passes WP:CORPDEPTH, "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability." With regard to the COI editor who eventually admitted that they work for the company, and who has sought to remove what they have described as "incorrect" or "defamatory" content, they have made no effort to identify other reliable sources that might present their activities in a more favourable light. The article satisfies WP:NPOV, as it reflects what is available in reliable sources. Edwardx ( talk) 13:33, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I don't see any grounds for deletion. WP:NPOV is only a reason for deletion if the article cannot be fixed, and the only person who has a problem with point of view is themself far from NPOV, being an employee of the organisation. There are other processes on Wikipedia for handling disputes over bias and article content, as has already been pointed out on the article comment page, but as far as I can tell they haven't been invoked. People trying to edit their employer's article should probably read Streisand Effect and browse through List of Wikipedia controversies. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 13:56, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment It is not helpful to discussion to point out an 'eventual' admission as it suggests that I knowingly transgressed Wikipedia rules. I have tried to remain transparent throughout. I have chosen not to hide behind a username, and by this I don't mean to offend those on Wikipedia who choose to (far from it). As I have already stated, any errors in process are due to being a newcomer and have been apologised for. As a company we don't seek glowing references in the form of independent sources on the internet, we just try to do the best that we can for our clients, be it print, web, video or through other content promotion. We are however subject to occasional posts and articles online which do not paint us in a positive light. I don't believe this is grounds for the creation and maintenance of a page devoted to only one side of our business that is actively reported on. I would be willing to keep the article in place if, as User:Colapeninsula has helpfully suggested, problems with WP:NPOV can be fixed. With regard to other avenues of handling disputes, you must again forgive me, it has only been a couple of days since I discovered the page's existence and I am learning your guidelines as I go. I will explore these avenues - thank you User:Colapeninsula. Scottrouse ( talk) 16:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Given the use of small local papers reporting on local companies, and some odd misrepresentations of sourcing (it's not THE guardian) I am leaning towards delete, but it may just need work. All looks a tad to puffery for me. Slatersteven ( talk) 08:45, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Which are the "local" papers? Philafrenzy ( talk) 09:13, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Well how about the Trinidad and Tobago guardian? Slatersteven ( talk) 09:36, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
That's a national paper, established in 1917, the oldest in that country: Trinidad and Tobago Guardian. Philafrenzy ( talk) 09:41, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Also where is the in depth analysis of these awards (which seems to be the main focus of the article) why are there so few sources announcing the awards overall (rather then just triumphing one (almost always local to the newspapers) companies win)? this is what I mean by "local paper" newspapers published in one (often small) country that seem to just be acting as vanity pieces for the award winner, and no in depth coverage of the wards themselves. The point is there is no real coverage beyond mere local interest except for two sources. Slatersteven ( talk) 09:44, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
We have articles for the majority of the sources. I don't think we can say that we won't use them just because they are not published in London or the U.S., and that doesn't make them "local". There are numerous other sources for the awards, just do a Google search, but obviously we want reliable third party sources and naturally the majority of the sources relating to the awards are from the giver or the recipient as people like to boast about their awards. Hence the focus on third party sources. Philafrenzy ( talk) 09:56, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
This is about notability, we know it exists, but coverage has to be in depth, not trivial mentions about X company won this award". The point is that none of these "local sources" are any thing more then trivial mention, they do not establish notability (except maybe for the awardee). Hell it is a London based ward and yet we only have (in truth) one UK source for this notable event. Slatersteven ( talk) 10:05, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
This Wikipedia article was not intended to appear as "puffery". This all started because of a long article in The Times a month ago about the Europe Business Assembly. This led to starting articles about other companies highlighted in a report from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, as it didn't seem fair to focus on just one company. And as we already had an article on vanity award, the corresponding category was started. Edwardx ( talk) 10:11, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
What I mean is the the sources are largely puffery of local award winners, not in depth new stories. In essence this is an article about a minor vanity ward, as such it should not have it's own article. Slatersteven ( talk) 10:16, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
We don't make any moral judgement about the legitimacy of the awards or the business. People are clearly prepared to buy what they are selling. It's just a matter of whether sufficient sources exist to demonstrate notability. It seems, when combined, that they do even if we would like them to be more in depth and more numerous. Philafrenzy ( talk) 10:19, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
No but we do need Significant coverage of the subject, not just a trivial mentions. The fact is that what we have a trivial mentions of "X local company today won an award". Now if in depth coverage of this ward exists then lets see it. Slatersteven ( talk) 10:36, 25 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I cannot find sufficient reliable third party sources about the publisher in order to write a neutral article and the company's website provides little information beyond the address. What little coverage it has is in minor publications complaining about its awards. I don't know if the criticism is accurate, but would like to see better coverage before including it. Even then, it would come under "People notable for only one event." TFD ( talk) 00:15, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Vivek Lagoo is a theater writer/actor and film actor in Marathi. He is husband of Reema but that is not his identity. He has worked in many TV serials, Marathi plays and films. Unfortunately, there are not much references available on internet regarding Vivek but lot of content must be available in hard copy in various magazines. I have added few details but I suggest, other contributors can help in finding and adding more details in the article and should help in enhancing the article. I do not see any point in deleting this article. Kautuk1 ( talk) 07:15, 2 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Article appears to be a duplicate of existing UK railway lists. For example, the rolling stock used by franchises are in the article itself, and there are lists detailing units by class there. Additionally, the article features lots of duplication - see the many appearances of the Class 158 in this list. GR ( Contact me) ( See my edits) 20:46, 2 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • I was unable to find a concise list of all of the rolling stock in one place on the internet when I created this article. Yes the rolling stock used by franchises are in the individual articles (which is where the information came from) but I feel this article is useful because it brings all of those lists together in one place. Also, the only reason the Class 158 is on this list so many list so many times is because seven different operators use it. Mindi Crayon ( talk) 16:34, 3 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I am not knowledgeable in the general topic area, but this looks like a useful, informative, comprehensive compilation of things of a certain type. As wp:CLT covers, having a list is complementary to having categories (such as Category:British Rail diesel multiple units, etc.), allowing for photographs and notes and sources. As a small note, I think the word "Locomotives" should be downcased in the article title, and perhaps UK should be "United Kingdom". -- do ncr am 02:29, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Edit heavily. This article seems to mostly contain multiple units, which are NOT locomotives. If you go to the Locomotive page it clearly states;" A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train. A locomotive has no payload capacity of its own, and its sole purpose is to move the train along the tracks. In contrast, some trains have self-propelled payload-carrying vehicles. These are not normally considered locomotives, and may be referred to as multiple units, motor coaches or railcars." Dr Sludge ( talk) 10:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - while it never launched a product, it certainly seemed to generate enough news to make it noteworthy. In my searches I found a number of news articles about it ( [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], among many others). As one article noted, it was "launched with great fanfare"; it apparently died much the same way. WP:NOTTEMPORARY would suggest that the topic remains notable even if the airline ultimately failed to launch. Cthomas3 ( talk) 05:36, 16 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Biography (there's dispute about whether it's a WP:BLP or not) of a porn actor whose only stated or sourced indication of notability per WP:PORNBIO is that he won the "Biggest Bitch on Set" award one year for being a total PITA to actually work with. This is not a viable or compelling notability claim for a porn actor, but nothing else here is any stronger -- and neither is the sourcing, which depends on one deadlinked primary source profile on the website of his own former employer and two glancing namechecks of his existence in references that are primarily about other things. Which thus brings us to the biggest problem of all: there has been an edit war raging for several years now over claims that he died in 1997, and that claim persistently relies on user-generated sources like IMDb and genealogy databases because reliable source coverage that would properly verify it is completely nonexistent. There simply isn't enough legitimate sourcing here to get him over WP:GNG, and there's no notability claim strong enough to exempt him from having to get over GNG, regardless of whether he's alive or dead.
