Delete Article only has the mall's website and no inline citations, so fails WP:V#Notability and WP:DEL7 IAR. I found a 1992 reference that showed a GLA of 252,000 sq ft, which still leaves it smaller than a regional mall as per the ICSC. A mitigating factor is that a sub-regional indoor mall in a community of 5000 population, would be prominent. In a quick search I found that Google had some newspaper coverage from neighboring communities. For example, the Brody's was the first branch of the main Brody's in Indiana, PA. There was another Brody's 40 miles away that resulted in a lawsuit. Without the topic being covered at Clarion, there is no current need for a redirect, but there is room for development.

Subject of the biography has only marginal notability, all of it stemming from a single event linked to news stories and the press about a leaked Dossier concerning Donald Trump. The Dossier has not been validated as genuine, yet we have an article on its alleged ghost writer. Without verified sources, this bio has issues for
WP:GNG and

'Comment - He is mostly notable for the single event, as you mentioned. He has notability for assisting the FBI in their corruption investigation of FIFA. That is stated explicitly in Reuters and other news stories. It does not seem that he is notable for any specific activity regarding the Litvinenko assassination, as there is only vague and contradictory information about his involvement in that investigation, from "sources" or hearsay. There is certainly a huge amount of press coverage about him due to the (probably discredited) dossier about Trump though.--

Comment: You have suggested something I did not consider. Whether the Dossier is proven to be fake or not, his involvement in these events may in fact be notable just due to the fact the whole mess happened in the first place. I am still concerned about
WP:BLP issues for the subject of the article. Either way it falls out, he is likely to get a lot of notoriety he may not want, and being in the public eye may not be good for an intelligence person's career. We should consider the affect of a bio on someone in such a position. Unless he comes forward and publicly admits he is the author of this document, I still think there are issues with BLP.

He is a former intelligence person. He left MI6 in 2009. His work for the FBI (regarding FIFA) and for the Washington D.C. political intelligence company was done in his capacity as a principal of his private company, Orbis. He founded Orbis in March 2009, did the FIFA-related investigatory work in 2010-2012, and the Trump dossier work in 2016. He lives in a US$1.8 million mansion in England, according to multiple media sources, so I don't think he is out in the cold, so to speak. I am uncertain about how I feel regarding this article, so I will only make comments for now.--

Reply. The rudimentary search tools generally used, including the WP tools above, make it hard to filter out the very highly trafficked, most recent news sites. But there is, as others note below, mention of CS with regard to his retirement, earlier intelligence work, FIFA investigation, etc. This despite the nature of his work making it his and his prior employer's aim not to receive media coverage. It is with these, and by this standard, that he should be judged. Cheers.

Keep. While I don't think Steele was on anyone's radar prior to the dossier, conditions #2 and #3 of
WP:BLP1E are not met. Steele, a 20-year MI6 agent and the co-founder and director of Orbis Business Intelligence, is not a low-profile individual. He had substantial roles in helping bring down Sepp Blatter in the
2015 FIFA corruption case and in the production of the dossier, both significant events. I don't know if his role in the murder investigation of
Alexander Litvinenko was large or not. Examining some of the 30+ references currently in the article, many of them are rich with detail about Steele's life and history. We are not in danger of creating a pseudo-biography as there's plenty of material to work with. Also, I'm sure if/when additional evidence supporting or contradicting the dossier comes out, the case for notability will only be stronger.

Keep I can't help but notice that any article that says anything negative about Trump is being considered for deletion. Christopher Steele has been in the news constantly for the last week.

Keep as this does not meet the third criteria of
WP:BLP1E, which states,
If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley, Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented.
Christopher Steele's role in the Russia dossier is significant, substantial, and well documented. Combine this with the other claims of notability in the article, and there can be no question as to the subject's notability.
Bradv06:00, 17 January 2017 (UTC)reply

Keep. That was already discussed
here. This is not someone notable for only one event. Policy
[1] tells: "We should generally avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:
If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual.
If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. ..."
Actually, none of these conditions was met. #1. No, he was involved in several other high profiles events, including FIFA corruption scandal and Litvinenko poisoning. #2 This is already a very high profile individual. #3. The event was significant, and the role was significant. This is someone plainly notable.

Donald Trump–Russia dossier. It appears to that Steele falls into
WP:BLP1E. Although he played some unknown role in the FIFA and Litvinenko investigations, no one has been able to find any reliable sources covering those roles, so they evidently weren't newsworthy. The guy is clearly low-profile as he avoided the public spotlight until the dossier became public. On the other hand, the dossier is obviously highly notable and will continue to receive heavy media coverage. This coverage is already swamping Steele's biography and will continue to do so more and more. And we have no article dedicated to the dossier, as far as I know. --

Keep. Christopher Steele is an outed former intelligence officer responsible for a significant period for the Russia desk for a British intelligence service, who also contributed to the FIFA and other investigations since retiring. Hence, he is an individual notable apart from this event, and so should have a separate article. (The fact that recent events have brought most of this information to the fore is immaterial to the question of his notability. Jack Welch was a notable business person before taking the helm of GE; that his taking this last position made him the more noteworthy was no argument for lessened importance of prior efforts, or for keeping him to the GE article.) Steele's article can evolve away from its overemphasis on the dossier matter, which should eventually become a short section, with a main article tag pointing to the full article, so this article can focus on the life and career of the man. Cheers.

buzz since October 2016! He was feeding the buzz - pun intended. Good marketing. Not only the search tools are rudimentary, we were not searching in German, Arabic (Qatar), Russian or Italian media... Added somthing from

I was pointing out that all of the cited reliable sources (including those you cite in your reply) were published in the last week, after the dossier became public. Unless someone finds pre-2017 sources indicating otherwise, Steele's prior work wasn't high-profile enough to be covered by the news media. I see two plausible explanations for this: either his prior roles have been recently exaggerated, or his roles were previously hidden from the media due to their sensitive nature or his previous spy work. --

The result was speedy keep. There is no Wikipedia policy stating "state parties are not notable". Mass nominations are usually done with articles using the same set of sources (e.g., soccer player bios where the players only play in a semi-professional league).

I cannot fathom how a local chapter of a fraternal organization could be notable.
BRANCH applies. I stand corrected, but it is highly doubtful that a social organization that is at one single university will ever meet

Delete. The question of whether this is a branch of a national organization or a standalone local entity is not as definitive in this instance as the total lack of any
reliable source coverage independent of the organization's own
self-published web presence. The "referencing" here is entirely to the sorority's own webpage about itself and its own social networking profile on Facebook, except for one article in the university's student newspaper — a source which is not widely distributed enough, or archived anywhere that Wikipedia could retrieve the content again if the weblink dies, to count for anything toward
WP:GNG. But that's not how an organization gets a Wikipedia article, regardless of where it falls on the "national branch vs. standalone" scale: the key to getting a Wikipedia article is reliable source coverage in general market media on the order of daily newspapers and/or national news organizations (i.e. CBC/Global/CTV/Canadian Press), of which none has been shown here and no evidence of adequate coverage is turning up on Google either.

Additional comment: I still believe the album deserves a standalone article, but the current version has tons of unsourced material. I would be fine with stripping this article down to its bare bones, so keeping the stub for future expansion. There are several articles about songs on the album, which should probably be redirected to the album article. ---

Comment It's a shame that the author of the page couldn't be bothered to source his material. He has created lots of pages sourced only to itunes for songs from this album in which he makes no claims to notability not even bothering to mention the charts that they were in (obviously that is an indication that the song might be notable but not enough to guarantee it). I agree for the redirects though.

Tagged by
WikiDan61 as unreferenced when it was created in February 2016. Author has continued to tinker with it, but has never added a source. Searches of the usual Google types, De Gruyter, EBSCO, Gale, HighBeam, JSTOR, Project Muse, ProQuest, and nine national newspapers in Bangladesh, found a single mention, in an article by a master's student in IJSER, a journal on Beall's list of "Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access journals."
[6] The article is about the acoustics of the mosque built in 2015 to replace this one, but does contain two sentences about the old mosque. It does not cite a source for those sentences, but thanks the Asgar Ali Chowdhury Jame Moshjid committee.
[7]
If the community considers this a reliable source, I have no objection to merging what it supports (which isn't much of the stub) to the "Places" section of
Halishahar Thana. In any case it is not significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, so the topic does not meet

The subject fails NPOL although somehow editors will tell you a suburb is significant enough. There is still no evidence that the subject was ever elected, as references only indicate she was appointed as acting mayor. I also don't buy this argument of being a young female in a profession deserves a political carve-out as we could pick any minority to claim that they're the first to do something.

Keep- Searching for "Cyvette Gibson" without the initials yielded more fruitful sources. Lexis search found 23 (4-5 where she was main topic of multiple paragraphs) and Newsbank with better African coverage had 127 sources. (Two false hits in Newsbank.) This includes mentions in The Guardian, The Star (prominent South African newspaper), APA News, and local sources (and
CNBC Africa where she's been interviewed multiple times). While most of the local sources certainly run afoul of routine (e.g. "Paynesville Municipal City Council Holds Annual Health Fair"), the global and regional coverage surely passes muster for GNG. Not even really close. (By the way, Chris, mayors aren't elected in Liberia. But NPOL or
WP:POLOUTCOMES don't require election for notability. Regardless, she passes GNG).

The company does not have significant coverage - the only mentions in mainstream media, outside of the esoteric bitcoin discussion pages, centres around a headline-seeking PR stunt.

This animation studio has no significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish
notability. There are no sources provided in the article. The only claim to notability would be that they put out one short that won a prize at the Rhode Island Film Festival. I can
confirm that the claim is true from the festival's web site, but I can't find that that generated any coverage for this company.

Hi Delta,
GNG can be attained even with one source; the GNG guideline itself specifies that there is no actual number of sources specified, while multiple sources are preferred. Two sources do make multiple sources, although there are other sources too, like
this one by Rap Basement (Rap Basement's been voted VH1's Best Hip-Hop Lifestyle Site)
[18]). At the same time, allow me to enquire, why do you think the NewMediaRockStars source is unreliable? It's a site that is approached by the likes of The New York Times for inputs on web based news.
[19] For information, there's
one more source about Forefront.tv from the editor. Also, what are your views on
WEBCRIT? Thanks.
Lourdes09:45, 9 January 2017 (UTC)reply
GNG specifically mentions "sources," which implies that no single source can establish notability alone. Perhaps my hunch about New Media Rock Stars is nothing more than that, but it seems as though it is a moderately reliable source at best, and at worst a PR-vulnerable outlet. I think other opinions are needed here to sort out whether Forefront.tv meets GNG. My opinion is that is it
too soon.
Delta13C (

10:31, 9 January 2017 (UTC)reply
Sure. It's interesting that the GNG guidelines notes the following: "In the absence of multiple sources, it must be possible to verify that the source reflects a neutral point of view, is credible and provides sufficient detail for a comprehensive article." That's why I said that even a single source, for example the Variety source, is enough. In this particular case, we have four sources from three reliable outlets that cover the media company significantly. Thanks.
Lourdes14:27, 9 January 2017 (UTC)reply
I just do not see how a single 295-word article in Variety can establish notability alone. The other sources helps, but I don't see the amount of coverage I'd consider significant.

I'm thankful that (1) You've considered my point about GNG being attainable on one source too, as per guidelines (2) You've also now perchance considered all the sources. As much as I see, the objection you have is that you feel the content within the multiple sources provided is not enough. I do disagree with the viewpoint (as I believe the coverage easily satisfies
WEBCRIT); I'll await comments from other editors on their interpretation. Thanks.

Delete. This reads like an essay on one person's views on Stoicism. There is contemporary Stoicism or current thinking on Stoicism, but I do not see evidence of a Modern Stoicism as a notable and separate school of thought. This seems little more (perhaps no more) than a vanity piece. At most, merge as a section in
Stoicism.

Not so fast.
Massimo Pigliucci's substantial (4 paragraph) coverage of "The Modern Stoicism movement" in
the article on Stoicism on the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy demonstrates that the movement is significant. In turn, the IEP cites Viktor Frankl's logotherapy in Sahakian 1979, so the modern movement is now over 30 years old. For philosophy, the IEP article cites William Irvine 2008, John Sellars 2003, and Lawrence Becker 1997. For self-help, the IEP cites Donald Robertson 2013. This is certainly over the
Notability threshold.

@
Weathermandela: thankyou, I just took a look, but I wouldn't say your original comments affect the current situation much. Firstly, notability is a matter of whether sources exist, not whether the article as it currently stands (still less, once stood) is well-written or well-cited. A topic can be notable when the article brought to AfD is totally uncited and full of advertising, the questions are not connected: though as it happens, the article lists many reliable sources. I have identified 5 reliable sources above, so the notability of the topic is established, and the article, if need be, could be totally rewritten from them, avoiding any trace of WP:OR, and not relying at all on websites such as modernstoicism.com.

The issue also remains that this is all original research. There isn't a single credible third party media outlet that has used the phrase "modern stoicism" or any trend piece on the issue. The article is thousands of words and all from books. There isn't anywhere else that make this distinction between types of stoicism. It is trying to make a trend where there isn't one.
Weathermandela (

That is one small mention that doesn't even justify a subsection in that one article, which is on one obscure website. There aren't other articles that make the distinction. If this was an argument about a sentence or two on the main stoicism article, that might be one thing. A 5,000 word entry cannot hinge on one mention in one article from the entirety of the Internet.

We're not talking about what is in the article, we are talking about what could be there, given the reliable sources that exist out there in the world. The IEP is a good honest source, and far more of the article could and no doubt should be cited to sources of that quality. All AfD discussions should be about the sources available, not the sources used.

That there is a revival of Stoicism in the 21st century, and that differences are being discussed between the new and old versions in reliable sources, certainly warrants being included in an encyclopedia. I agree that this discussion could have been written into the original Stoicism article, but it wasn't. We have a potential article here that is well-researched but needs more time for development. I have changed my !vote to userfy or move to draft space so it can be worked on outside of mainspace.

Well, two points. First, that what constitutes "reliable" is explained on that page, if the editor is interested. Two, that there is indeed coverage, but it's mostly announcements.

Enough that we could write something about it, but I don't see enough sources (namely reviews) to cover the topic in adequate depth. I'd suggest putting it in draftspace as a compromise.

Comment Please be civil. I brought this here in good faith as I could not find anything on this poet in any of the usual outlets. Your links to Jstor yield zero results for me (and
Largoplazo, above). I even joined to see if that would help. No. The only time I do get results is without quotes, and then the articles yielded are about
Moses. I still cannot find any sources. Highbeam gives three links but I don't know how significant they are as I am not a member. Scholar gives a load of stuff on medicine. You seem to have magicked a few up. Perhaps because you are in the US and I'm in the UK? If there is any bias in me, that is the only source of it. My usual interests include Classical music, the Greek myths and Classic literature, etc... hardly "recentist". (You may also wish to review my user boxes.) Please continue to expand the article from all the sources you have found and we'll let other people decide. Three people commenting, two of whom cannot source the still embryonic article, is hardly HEY, yet.

Add: Now I've joined Jstor, I can read the Harriet Zinnes review (of Moses and another) and it hardly supports notability: "Both poets are producing... poems of lassitude and of strange lackluster. ... Poets are so tired, so tired." I can only find Moses' poetry otherwise but I'll keep looking — Iadmc♫talk
Comment The reference to Harriet Zinnes does not mention her own status, which is not as a major poet. A major poet, a member of the Fugitives, did comment on Moses, as found in the Wiki article itself. I quote: "His poem 'Further Document on the Human Brain' [9] was commented on by poet Allen Tate in Trial Balances: An Anthology Of New Poetry.[10] Tate states that 'the feature of Moses’ work that most forcibly strikes' him is 'the conscious control of his material.' He notices the juxtaposition of that control with its 'shock of immediacy'." These lines in "Boy at Target Practice" do not lack luster nor are they tired: "Each time greenbones, you pressed the neat trigger/you punched a new horizontal into the air." The use of "authorities" should be approached with caution.

But, to me, and I edit writers at AFD regularly, the article looked like an obvious keep tome when you nominated it. I added a few sources, then more so that the article is now sourced to more than enough
WP:RS to pass our ordinary standards of notability for writers.
WP:AUTHOR #3:"The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work.... such work must have been the primary subject of... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."note that reviews of Moses' poetry books already on the page include major daily newspapers and major literary journals.

That said, it is a truism that most articles at WP "need more third party sources". We do not, however, delete because an article could be improved by better sourcing. At AFD the question at issue is: Whether the topic is notable.

My criteria are those found at
WP:GNG as elucidated by
WP:BIO; my nomination, as outlined above, was based on
this version which I felt hadn't addressed the issues I'd raised in the PROD four-and-a-half days earlier (edit redacted per copyvio). My nomination was made after two days of inactivity in the article. More specifically, I could not find any secondary sources per,
WP:PSTS, (whether
WP:RS or not) and those in the article didn't seem to back up claims of notability. Anybody can contribute to a notable journal if they happen to write a few half decent poems that meet that journal's wishlist. Many journals publish any old bod's poems, for that matter, in Readers Poetry or such like. Also, the phrase "Self-description in..." rang alarm bells and just because even a couple of notable fellow poets say they like someone's work as "distinct" and having "conscious control of [the] material" doesn't ensure that they are going to be well received by anyone else or even remembered. Plenty now forgotten have had similar accolades. I could write plenty more, but tl;dr... — Iadmc♫talk 21:48, 16 January 2017 (UTC)reply
It is untrue that "Many journals publish any old bod's poems." (There are, of course, print-for-pay journals that do so) Journals like
The New Yorker - which published Moses repeatedly - do not "publish any old bod's poems."

Other editors should note that the article has undergone an extensive
WP:HEYMANN. For may part, I am attempting to understand why you continue to argue about this article. Are you aware that Nominating editors simply wirte that they have changed their opinion when another editor brings sources, or points to a policy that justifies KEEP?

2 peers saying they like his work isn't being "widely cited".
The article doesn't claim he originated "a significant new concept, theory, or technique".
He may qualify for having "created... well-known work" that has "been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" but the article does not tell us what the various journals and newspapers say. They may say his work is rubbish and not worth the time and money reading for all I know as I can't actually access ProQuest to find out. (I know
WP:PAYWALL, BTW: can you access those archives to find out what they do say?)
No claim his work has ".. (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention... (the other criteria don't apply, as he is not an architect or fine artist etc).
I think we should let this rest a while to see if others wish to contribute. You can still edit and if you are right it will be delisted in six days unless you convince me to withdraw. I'm warming but still need more to go on. Why do think it does meet

E.M.Gregory: It was a request per "If you have trouble accessing a source, others may be able to do so on your behalf". Sorry if it was ambiguous.

It does not, in fact, particularly matter whether they panned it or loved it; the point is that major literary journals and major big city newspapers considered his work important enough to assign reviews of several books as they were published over the years.

The result was keep. I found the strongest arguments here those which engaged with the general notability guideline, the weakest those which failed to, expressed a subjective sent of notability, or referred to an inapplicable notability guideline.

Insufficient notability independent of the artist featured (who is already
the subject of an article, where this stamp set is covered). It's a fairly routine commemorative stamp set with no special philatelic significance, with only marginally more lasting notability than the countless other stamps issued worldwide every month.

Comment – Existence of coverage doesn't automatically establish notability.
Stamps featuring the work of notable artists are commonplace
[25][26][27], and those commemorating notable nationals of the issuing country are routine; they are not otherwise the subjects of articles, nor should they be. The coverage of this stamp set was
brief and PR-driven (once when announced, again when released... and none at all since) and based entirely on the item's novelty. That would be a remarkably low standard for independent notability, also justifying separate articles about Astonishing X-Men #51 (
AdvocateRolling StoneEW), the
Harvey Milk stamp (
WaPoHuffPoBlade), Star Trek: Gay XXX Parody (
HuffPoInverseAttitude), and any of countless other relatively minor items receiving fleeting attention (just to cite a few similar items that happen to be visible from where I'm sitting). None of Laaksonen's other (much more important) work apparently needs separate articles,
why do these three stamps? It makes more sense to merge and cover this in the context of the artist's legacy. -

Keep. While
JasonAQuest makes valid points, based on my research (I just tripled the number of references in the article, and even so I see I missed at least two cited by
Another Believer: ArtNet and The Independent) I find the coverage to be sufficiently extensive, and the points made in that coverage about the significance of the issue to go sufficiently beyond the clickbait factor (in particular the argument made by a stamps expert that it may be the first erotic stamp issue of any kind, and the call to have the stamps banned in Russia), that I agree that the topic meets GNG. (I should also note that recentism is an aspect of entrenched bias, and as such I would have liked to include non-English sources to further demonstrate notability and possibly add points, but I can't manage either Russian or Finnish, and in any case
this article in Helsingin Sanomat appears to be paywalled.)

Delete and/or merge: These stamps are no more notable than many thousands of others issued every year by countries around the world by well known artists. That is absolutely no reason to have an article of its own, especially when much of the content is duplicated in the artist's own article. Any missing information can be merged to there and the image may even qualify there under our
non-free policy criteria as has happened previously for some stamps. There are many more well known artists whose stamps don't have stand-alone articles because the stamps themselves are not notable enough and can easily be mentioned in their biographies. Do have a look at some of the articles on
List of postage stamps to see what some of the world's notable stamps comprise of. Even the world's highest production stamp, the
1993 Elvis Presley stamp, of which 500 million were sold and about 124 million of those we bought by collectors who won't even use them, has not got an article. There are many more worthy stamps than these for stand-alone article like some of the redlinks in the list above.

Keep. I agree with the nominator, that not every stamp with some controversy around it needs to be paraded in a separate entry. Compare e.g. the 1974 Western German stamp covering communist
Rosa Luxemburg, here and in various other cases no coverage needed besides the entry for the person herself. The article covers the stamps, not the artist being honored. In so far noteable and, by global media interest, a snowball keep. The controversy and the success of the stamps received worldwide coverage and interest, major German (Spiegel, Stern, Tagesspiegel Berlin), Italian (Corriere della sera) and French media (Arte, Le Point) included. It seems as well that the issue of the stamps (+ the postal museum in Tampere exhibition about ToF) was a statement with regard to the political discussions about gay marriage in Finlad. The exhibition press release called ToF the most famous Finnish artist. I wasn't aware till that entry that he was a Fin at all. Polentarion

Comment: Of the approx 10,000 stamps issued worldwide the vast majority are NOT inherently notable even when they have some decent press coverage that many many stamps get, most often around the time of their release, be it controversial reports or not. I fear many of the keep voters just look at the fact there particular stamps have some press coverage and think that is notable enough to warrant an article of its own, but that argument goes for most other postage stamps. The usual way to recognise such works is to have a specific section in the artist own article which is why I suggest a merge.

Comment: I agree that most stamps honoring a person or event are not deserving an article of its own, similar as e.g. in case of naming a street or bestowing an order or honorary degree does not make the event or the medal as such noteable. But this case seems to be different, compare
Naked Maja (postage stamps). An AfD there should fail as well, as those Spanish stamps were being
banned in Boston and beyond for being stamps. That said, noteability in both cases applies to the stamps as such, not the pictures nor the artist in question. Polentarion

This has been PRODed and deproded twice, and the deproding rationales seem to be in conflict, so I'm bringing it here. Yes, the extension has received some media coverage, but all of it was at the end of November, around the time of the release, and it has received none since. The coverage has not been sustained, and while the phrase "stop normalizing" has become much more used since the 2016 US election, I don't see any evidence that the group behind this extension or the extension itself received more than its 15 minutes of fame.

A3 it is still only three lines long which would add a paragraph to the
