  • Keep - I think the point is that those are all things that are called black arts. Therefore someone searching for them might search that term looking for one of those items. It doesn't need to be the only or main name. Ladyof Shalott 04:26, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Comment @ LadyofShalott: According to WP:CONCEPTDAB which states, "If the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article, and a substantial portion of the links asserted to be ambiguous are instances or examples of that concept or type, then the page located at that title should be an article describing it, and not a disambiguation page."
Disambiguation pages are only for articles with the same or nearly the same titles, not concepts. Mitchumch ( talk) 06:05, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
If you think this should become an article, then AfD is hardly the way to go. – Uanfala (talk) 10:57, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
@ Uanfala: I am following the guidelines stated at Wikipedia:Disambiguation in section " Deletion" which states, "Although disambiguation pages are not articles, a disambiguation page may be listed at Articles for deletion to discuss whether the disambiguation page should be deleted."
I never stated that I think this page should become an article. Please do not mistake the excerpt above from Wikipedia:CONCEPTDAB as a reflection of my personal opinion. I am only stating what this page is not - a disambiguation page. If someone here chooses to make it an article page, then I have no objections. But, that person is not me. Mitchumch ( talk) 20:13, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete there's no way the article can survive as a non-disambiguation page (it refers currently to black magic, criminal behaviors, African art, and a few extra nonsense things like Printing), and it doesn't work as a disambiguation page either. Possibly a speedy candidate as WP:G3 . Power~enwiki ( talk) 06:18, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I've just added Lee Perry's record label. With the theatre and the movement, there are now three topics with this name, or close enough to it, plus some of the others could be shown to be known as 'black art' I'm sure. It's trivially easy to find sources for this term equating to black magic, African-American art, espionage, etc. -- Michig ( talk) 09:20, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Comment - and one of the major pieces of the movement is specifically named Black Art. I have added that to the list. Ladyof Shalott 14:22, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep It's been sufficiently expanded, with the record label, theatrical term, artwork by Amiri Baraka, and redirect to African-American art. I'm not convinced by the very long list of everything that might be called the black arts, but that can be debated later. I'm a bit surprised that Wikipedia has no article on Rollo Ahmed (an associate of Dennis Wheatley) who wrote a book called The Black Art [6] [7], which could be another entry on the list. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 16:21, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Comment @ Colapeninsula: @ LadyofShalott: I think there is a separate issue here. Both of you don't appear to be aware of Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts. Please read WP:CONCEPTDAB for the "Broad-concept articles" section of the Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Otherwise, you are wasting your time. There has to be, at the very least, an existing article with the term "Black art" in the title for it to be listed on the disambiguation page. Even then "Don't include every article containing the title" according to the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts. Mitchumch ( talk) 22:24, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment the expansion doesn't actually improve the article. It's still a disambiguation page with multiple problems and no plausible single redirect target. Power~enwiki ( talk) 20:54, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. After the expansion this dab page contains entries for at least three topics that are unequivocally and straightforwardly known as "Black art". Any potential issues with the page should be addressed via editing. – Uanfala (talk) 22:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Redundant WP:CONTENTFORK of List of Mount Everest summiters by number of times to the summit. This is as both lists are on the same subject but one is only up to 2015. This article should be redirected/merged to List of Mount Everest summiters by number of times to the summit per the above reason. - KAP03( Talk • Contributions • Email) 19:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment In your redirect attempt you said there was no reason given. However, a reason was stated in the introduction. Now you are stating its redundant, however, the list is different due to changes with time. This is like saying history is redundant because its in the past! I can't say I object to a redirect on the basis that the 2015 earthquake and two years is premature or two years is too minor a difference.

  • Yes I can see what you brought it to Afd: the redirect was rolled back. Yeah, this is odd. Fotaun claims such a split off is necessary because "Everest was moved slightly by the Earthquake." But even the claim of the Hillary Step being destroyed is contested at this point, and we're going to create a new list because an earthquake may have moved the mountain a few inches? Redirect Delete per nom. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 19:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Well there is another reason, 2015 provided a logical break-point to preserve climbing record history. The other list is quite hard to maintain with upwards of 600 summits per year. The photographic evidence of the hillary step changes means its inevitable that the climbing route changed, this marks the end of that Everest. Maybe its to soon and it should be a redirect, but the time is coming when this is more meaningful as the other list diverges. Fotaun ( talk) 19:40, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete or move to userspace - this seems to be a personal project. The count doesn't restart because of an inch movement. There are much larger variables involved in a summit of Everest. Jack N. Stock ( talk) 19:39, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment well I can verify that its not a personal project. Fotaun ( talk) 19:46, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Okay, well, per your first comment above, see WP:CRYSTAL. In the meantime are you agreeing that it's premature at the very least and your previous roll back of the nominator's redirect was in error? If so, and you're ready to redirect, yourself, now, we can end this. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 19:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment If you want a redirect based on what you have said here, that's fine with me. I objected to the first re-direct in part because I had tried to explain my rationale for the page in the introduction (it said "why up to 2015" though it stated reasons for that year in the introduction). What I am seeing is that you disagree with those reasons, which I can respect. I think you can see its a really different issue from my perspective if you want a redirect because there was no reason given for the page, which is not really accurate, versus disagreeing with my reasons for making the page. Cheers Fotaun ( talk) 20:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as a content fork/personal project per most of the above. To say that an earthquake "marks the end of that Everest" sounds more than a bit silly - people are still climbing a mountain called Everest, and while I understand it's become easier to do so over history for any number of reasons, the result of an earthquake is unlikely to stop people doing it or suddenly make more people do it.

I understand that it's a history article. The article referred to earlier (which doesn't put an arbitrary year into the criteria) is likewise a history article and covers the more logical group of "everyone who's climbed the mountain", rather than the arbitrarily-defined "everyone who climbed the mountain until this point I chose".

I am not finding anything other than the book The Lynx itself from these queries - so nothing that can be used as a source there. This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON as an WP:AUTHOR. I am not finding anything other than the book, which would need two independent reviews from sources like the New York Times, etc.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 19:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • CaroleHenson, there is little to no information on the internet for personal events that occurred around 1977. However, I have a number of declassified documents that were exchanged between the U.S. Department of State, The American Embassy in Mexico City, and the American Interest Mission in Havana from December 1977 that can provide a source of information about Victor Nickolich's defection from the Cuban National Skydiving Team at the American Embassy in Mexico D.F. , and of his subsequent extraction to the United States. I also have personal references about the authorship of "The Lynx", which include Admiral James Stavridis, former Supreme Allied Commander (NATO) during the Obama administration, and John Fenzel, Former Army special forces colonel and author. I also have an article that references Victor Nickolich in Parachutist Magazine about Victor's participation as a member of the Cuban National team in the Pan American Skydiving Games in Peru in 1975. How can I introduce these sources in the article?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nordatlantic ( talkcontribs) 21:28, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep -- I didn't create this page, but ran across it and spent time filling out the details as requested on the banner. (1) I can find more than local coverage of the basketball, volleyball, and softball Georgia state championships that Johnson was involved in but they may not mention her name to prove that she was part of the championship teams. Only the local papers usually do that, as is well understood. (2) There are lots of equal or lesser contestants from The Voice who have their own Wikipedia page but Johnson is much more notable in terms of providing a role model for the young citizens of Georgia. Both the Georgia Senate and House wrote resolutions recognizing Johnson's achievements in entertainment and pageantry and a Wikipedia page provides an easily found record of this. (3) I am fascinated by individuals that excel at competitions with such high visibility and it is rare to find ones that do it across areas -- sports, singing, & pageantry. I spent only a few hours working on this page and am sure others will contribute as well. JefferShip ( talk) 19:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I looked for independent sources, did not find any. While her previously mentioned diversity of accomplishments is impressive, she does not appear to have any third party notability, nor does she meet any of the criteria for presuming notability. She fails WP:NSPORT. While she was Miss Georgia USA, the majority of other Miss [State] winners did not have Wikipedia pages, so I assume she is not notable on that front. Most of the other members of season 8 of the voice do not have wikipedia pages either. The combination of three non-notable things does not make her notable, nor does the fact that the Georgia senate wrote a 10 line recommendation for her. -William ( talk) 20:51, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply

    • All the recent pageant titleholder AFDs over the past year would suggest otherwise, that local coverage alone is not enough to establish notability. I've lost count of how many similar articles have been deleted because there was not significant coverage outside local papers. And we're not talking local community papers (as in the sourcing here) either, I'm talking about arguments being made that papers like the Kansas City Star are too local to establish notability for a Miss Missouri USA titleholder. The Baxley News Banner and fan sites don't cut it. --- PageantUpdater ( talk) 07:04, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
    • I do work in probability & statistics and find that this combination of beauty and talent is quite rare. What are the odds of one person being in the top ranks of a singing competition, a beauty competition, and capturing state titles in each of the seasonal team sports? The Voice competition is remarkable in that her looks didn't enter in getting a four-chair turn. Yet complementarily, the Miss USA competition did not feature a talent portion. Statistically these are considered independent orthogonal factors and so the odds need to be multiplied leading to heightened notability. That's just math to see that performance talent and beauty need to add. Plus, I need to challenge the fact that Season 8 contestants aren't represented in Wikipedia. When I checked the Season 8 Voice page, I counted 6 of the Top 9 contestants as having links. Including DeAnna, there are Sawyer Fredericks, Korrine Hawthorne, Kimberley Nichole, Meghan Linsey, and Joshua Davis. DeAnna was in the Top 9. Precedent has been set and that is why I added all that info to her page -- I know it doesn't matter to the decision but I wouldn't have wasted my time if I didn't think that DeAnna's last 4 years in continuous public spotlight didn't merit notability. BTW, whoever created the page initially got her middle name wrong, and that's what got me going on this path in the first place! So many people ask about DeAnna's age and her height that her Wikipedia entry will be accessed for that alone. There are examples of Voice contestants that have referred to her persistence as motivating them to try out. That supports the position that she is a role model and a muse to lots of people worldwide. JefferShip ( talk) 14:24, 28 May 2017 (UTC) reply
    • From WP:N guidelines: Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time. ... If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual. Objectively, DeAnna has had continuous public exposure over the years 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 in separate events and may likely continue this high-profile pattern.

From my research I can see that the Hannah Mitchell Foundation is a real initiative (it does not appear to be legal entity), I can't see why it is notable enough for Wikipedia. Although it has issued policy ideas in the past, none of them seem to have reached any wider impact. At least, not that I can see. In many ways, it looks more like a blog than a think-tank.

Biography of a writer, whose only apparent claim of notability per WP:AUTHOR is that he existed. This is referenced almost entirely to unreliable sources like a geni.com genealogy and a GoodReads profile -- and the only other claim of notability present, that he served as secretary of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, is not a claim of notability that would exempt a person from having to be sourced properly either. While that claim is technically sourced to a file in the National Archives of the United Kingdom, it's not a file of press clippings about him but a file of his own correspondence -- so that's not a source that can bolster notability either in the absence of any reliable source coverage about him in media.

WP:BLP of a writer, whose only evident claim of notability per WP:AUTHOR is that she won a literary award which is not unequivocally notable enough to make its winners notable just for the fact of winning it. The only references present here at all, further, are primary sources and a Q&A interview on a blog, which are not sources that can assist notability -- there's no evidence being shown at all that she's been the subject of media coverage in reliable sources. (Even the award win is referenced to the award's own primary source website about itself -- but for an award to be considered notable enough to hand its winners an AUTHOR pass, that award has to be one for which media pay attention to the award as news, not one whose own self-published website represents the only verification.) No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this -- but a writer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because she exists, and nothing here properly demonstrates that Seaton clears our notability standard for writers.

The Huffington Post is not a reliable source.

Bearcat ( talk) 15:51, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Your statement about the Huffington Post is not supported by consensus, man. Original Huffington Post content is perfectly good for generating Notability; what people have questioned is possible bias in some of its articles (particularly opinion pieces), which has nothing to do with WP:N. The New York Times piece may be an event announcement, but the Miami Times and Miami Herald coverage is more substantive. For a poet, this definitely meets WP:N. Newimpartial ( talk) 16:05, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Original content on The Huffington Post is not reportage, but blogging whose reliability or unreliability is not measurable by any normal journalistic standards. It's acceptable to use HuffPo when the content in question is an aggregation of work originating from another source, such as wire service articles from the AP — because the citation in that instance is to the AP, and HuffPo is just a convenience link to a copy of it — but not when the content is originating from a HuffPo blogger. And no, I'm not wrong about this; it's been discussed extensively in the past at the reliable sources noticeboard. Bearcat ( talk) 16:24, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply

But in this case, I think the double Pushcart and heavy coverage of her in the small presses (where the poetry coverage usually is to be found) makes the case clear. — David Eppstein ( talk) 01:52, 29 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- I assume that "professors of poetry" are quite rare, plus the awards, the coverage & multiple published works. On the balance of things, it's a keep. K.e.coffman ( talk) 05:59, 30 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep - The company has developed at least one commercially successful game and a number of lesser ones. Also, they appear to have a longer history than what the article indicates. This GiantBomb page indicates that they changed their name to Astroll in 1997 and developed several other games afterwards.

The questionable notability of Daikaijuu Monogatari is precisely the reason why I brought this to AfD instead of boldly redirecting it; I don't think it's good policy to redirect to an article which is likely to be deleted in the future. If and when the target article is then deleted, the redirect article will be speedy deleted under WP: G8, making it a sort of backdoor deletion. And honestly, I'm a bit puzzled as to why I didn't PROD Daikaijuu Monogatari at the same time as I did this article, since at present its sourcing certainly doesn't meet notability standards.-- Martin IIIa ( talk) 12:51, 4 June 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Hollyckuhno, the notability is not what is at stake here. In case you haven't read my rationale, this movie hasn't officially started principal photography (shooting). WP:NFF says and I quote: Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. Since the article's production section only tackles earlier plans to make this movie as well as the casting choices of the filmmakers, the project is just under the pre-production stage at this point and it's too early to be creating this article in the mainspace.

Sources do not meet the criteria for establishing notability. PROD notice removed with no reasoning. -- HighKing ++ 15:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment Hi HighKing, CrateDB is gaining importance in the database tech scene. I had launched the page some years ago as it is a late success within a regional open source initiative, which I was involved in 2006. Several people have edited the article, and I did an update today. I was deleting the delete notice because the info I got says: "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary". A summary of the edit update has been provided. I can guarantee that this article is not paid and I am not having any relation with CRATE. I know one of the founders (who was also active in the open source initiative in 2006), and when I interviewed him I paid the coffee myself. I can try to find more references for usage of this open source database technology, e.g. download statistics. Rasos ( talk) 17:50, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Hi Rasos, there's pretty clear criteria on acceptable sources to establish notability such as WP:N and WP:ORGIND/ WP:CORPDEPTH sections especially. To date, the sources you've added do not meet the criteria. -- HighKing ++ 12:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep: I think the sources in the article confirming Crate Data funding satisfy WP:GNG, although I'd like to see more quality sources describing the technology itself. Also the article is reasonably written and not spammy, unlike so many other obscure product articles. -- intgr  [talk] 22:24, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Hi intgr, I've looked at the funding articles. Sources should be seen as intellectually independent. The TechCrunch article fails WP:ORGIND since the information is provided by the company and the article relies almost completely on quotations from company officers or company-provided details. The Finsmes articles are News Releases from the company or VC firm announcing a deal so they also fail the criteria for establishing notability. -- HighKing ++ 12:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC) reply
@ HighKing: I think you're misinterpreting WP:ORGIND. Sadly there is no official policy/guideline about independent sources, WP:IS is the closest thing I guess.
ORGIND would apply if TechCrunch was simply reposting Crate's press release. But in this case it's an original TechCrunch article, roughly half of which is quotes from Crate's representatives. TechCrunch's editors were the ones to choose the quotes for their own narrative — they had editorial independence — which is regular reporting. Secondary sources must, by definition, be based on information from primary sources.
As for FinSMES, I'm not convinced it qualifies for WP:RS, but again they look like independent articles — reporting based on the press releases perhaps — but not simply reposts of the press releases. Compare the article article to the press release for that funding announcement. Or do you have specific evidence that they have a connection to Crate Data or Dawn Capital? -- intgr  [talk] 12:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Hi intgr, Apologies, I should have referred to WP:CORPDEPTH which states quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, or and brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business, as criteria for excluding sources in order to establish notability. -- HighKing ++ 14:12, 12 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Hi HighKing, I'm with Crate, and thanks for raising these issues. There are quite a lot of recent references to CrateDB, that should be added to the page. Can you please postpone the deletion process and give us time to find a community member willing to freely update the page with references like the following? I believe they meet the guidelines you mentioned...quality sources and also very fair and detailed descriptions of the technology:
Hi DatabACE, please take a look at WP:N and WP:RS to understand what sources are acceptable to establish notability.
  • This YouTube video fails WP:N since YouTube is not regarded as a reliable source as their is no editorial oversight and is self-published. Furthermore, at 45:47 in the Talk, Kyle points to Crate as being a sponsor, so it cannot be regarded as intellectually independent.
  • The Techtrailblazers winner fails WP:AUD which states attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability. I believe it is fair to say that a competition in a tiny area of emerging database technology is of limited interest and circulation.
  • The Register article is an "advertorial". There is no criticism, no mention of competition, everything really positive. It reads like a press release and is not intellectually independent. It fails WP:ORGIND and further down the article it becomes obvious that the information was provided to The Register directly by the company because the article says they were in touch, includes quotations from the CTO and also written communications as it states In an email to The Register from the CTO.
  • The qualtrics article (which is a blog post) fails because it is a blog which is regarded as a self-published source with no editorial oversight and therefore cannot be regarded as reliable
  • The Aphyr blog post fails the criteria for the same reason as the one above
  • The db-engines] listing fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is inclusion in lists of similar organizations.
Sorry, but none of those sources are acceptable for establishing notability. It is perhaps WP:TOOSOON for this topic to have its own page. There's more than enough though to make sure it can be included on other articles such as "List of..." type articles. -- HighKing ++ 14:48, 12 May 2017 (UTC) reply
@ HighKing: Agreed about everything else, but the The Register article does appear to qualify for notability.
I understand your frustration with the low quality of many news sources, but that's not for Wikipedians to weed out. Advertorials exist and we just have to live with it. Notability doesn't require a source to be critical of the subject.
"the information was provided to The Register directly by the company" — so by your standards, if a news organizations interviews the company for an article, it's not considered an independent source any more? I think you're going overboard with this.
You also missed the part where CTO Paul Hofmann (the one "in an email to The Register") isn't from Crate Data, he's the CTO of Space-Time Insight, a user of CrateDB. -- intgr  [talk] 15:45, 12 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Hi intgr,
  • You say I understand your frustration with the low quality of many news sources, but that's not for Wikipedians to weed out. Actually the opposite is true. If the Editors don't weed them out, we end up with very low quality articles full of spam and little more than adverts pushing a company's POV. That's one of the reasons behind examining articles at AfD.
  • You say Advertorials exist and we just have to live with it - Advertorials and PRIMARY sources can be used to back-up certain non-contentious facts. This format or article just doesn't meet the criteria of source we require to establish notability.
  • You say Notability doesn't require a source to be critical of the subject. I agree, it doesn't, I made this point to highlight the lack of intellectual independence.....see next point
  • You ask so by your standards, if a news organizations interviews the company for an article, it's not considered an independent source. Not precisely. But if a "news" source runs a story and the only obvious "input" into the story is information from the company, then yes, it falls fouls of WP:ORGIND. "Independent source" means that the source must also be considered to be "intellectually independent". Advertorials which consist of large amounts of quotations from the company are not "intellectually independent". Those types of articles are really a form of "engagement with the press" and are typically "on-message" and positive. Just like most other forms of PR. There are articles that contain quotations from a company officer that would not be considered advertorials and would be acceptable. Just these ones aren't...
  • You say You also missed the part where CTO Paul Hofmann .... isn't from Crate Date. You right, I had missed that. You also say but The Register article does appear to qualify". I still don't believe so. If you look at the PR release by Crate on the 14th December ( here's a link) it pretty much says all the same things. And even includes a quotation from Paul Hofmann, CTO of Space-Time Insight just like The Register.
Also understand, there are different criteria for getting listed in an article like List of column-oriented DBMSes and getting your own article. Also, can I ask if you have any connection with Crate? Any conflict of interest should be declared if it exists. -- HighKing ++ 14:40, 13 May 2017 (UTC) reply
@ HighKing: I have no conflict of interest with CrateDB; I've never even used the software. I had this page on my watchlist, it was probably linked from one of the pages I maintain. Sorry that you spent the time writing up a long response, but I don't have the energy to debate this further and I doubt it would change either of our opinions, so let's just agree to disagree. -- intgr  [talk] 22:08, 13 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Thanks for the feedback @ HighKing:. Can I ask why CrateDB is being flagged for deletion and a page like MongoDB is not? The references on that page clearly do not meet the criteria by which the CrateDB page references are being judged? If you want to flag the CrateDB page has having multiple issues (a la MongoDB), that seems fair...or propose the deletion of MongoDB. Neo4j references...links to their website? Tweets? DB-Engines ranking? Delete that? InfluxDB..same..delete it?
My point is that the CrateDB page does not seem to vary from the norm on the topic of database management software here. And if you take a view of CrateDB in the real world (based on references we're discussing here and many more), it is an open source software project that has a substantial following of users, that the press/media finds relevant, that independent technology thought leaders like Aphyr consider worth covering in things like the Jepson tests (his decision to test CrateDB was neither prompted by nor paid for by Crate.io).
Anyway..I hope the voters will elect to keep the page...flag it as having issues maybe, but deletion seems extreme IMHO. DatabACE ( talk) 16:46, 12 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Hi DatabACE, in general arguments along the lines of "but XX exists so why not YY" aren't considered. The minimum requirement for notability is generally accepted as two sources that meet the criteria for establishing notability. If you examine each of those articles, chances are that among the sources that don't qualify, you'll find two that do. If they don't, you (or someone else) may check to see if two sources can be found and if not, may nominate the article for deletion. Using PRIMARY sources and other sources that don't meet the criteria for establishing notability are acceptable for establishing non-controversial facts. -- HighKing ++ 14:55, 13 May 2017 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the schooling HighKing...I'm trying to RTFM here as quickly as I can to come up to speed.

Hi K.e.coffman, I'm not sure the WP:CORPDEPTH apply here, since this page is about an open source software system, not a company. The page was originally about the company, CrateIO (thus the corporate-ish reference history), but was retitled last year. DatabACE ( talk) 17:15, 14 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Question - If the page does get deleted... Is it possible to create a new one in its place? And if so, how soon? Of course, without the issues which led to its deletion in the first place. Again, my plea would be to have it flagged as having issues (rather than deletion) to give the CrateDB community a little more time to bring it up to date and into compliance with notability requirements. DatabACE ( talk) 17:15, 14 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Yes it is possible but unless it meets the criteria for notability, it will also be deleted and if the topic is persistently created, there may be a case to WP:SALT the topic. -- HighKing ++ 13:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • And for my future reference...do we agree that articles like The Register (last December) are reliable (secondary) independent of the subject? Yes...article was triggered by a CrateDB product announcement, but the the journalist decided whether the news was notable enough to write an article about and The Register editors decided the article was notable enough to publish. Issuing a press release does not guarantee that those two gates (article writing and publishing) will be cleared...they are usually not! The Register journalist also interviewed other sources (not just Crate.io spokespeople/press release). I assume everyone here understands the difference between journalism and advertorials...there are some news sites that just regurgitate press releases, but TechCrunch, TheRegister aren't two of them. DatabACE ( talk) 17:34, 14 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • No, see my comments on those sources above. The articles are not intellectually independent and fail to meet the criteria to establish notability. -- HighKing ++ 13:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Question2 - @ HighKing: I noticed that you added a notability banner to the InfluxDB page late last year. Yet, with CrateDB you went right to AfD? Why the difference in treatment? This doesn't seem objective. Is it too late to take the same path with the CrateDB page? DatabACE ( talk) 01:18, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • It is too late. This article is a lot older and in my opinion there was adequate time to find sources. I originally PRODded the article and the notice was removed without any attempt to improve the article or engage in a discussion about how to improve it, so the next option was here. Other editors may have different ways of working and may have placed a different banner, or may have moved straight to AfD. -- HighKing ++ 13:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment As the editor #1 of the article I feel responsible to add more independent voices. You may have noted that I added a section "Review". A test result with some flaws in data consistency has been cited. CrateDB definitely should get more reviews and probably needs some more time to achieve that goal. As you may all have noticed, the article is supported by WikiProject Software and WkiProject Computing. And well, it's about Open Source, which typically has less visibility in media than proprietary software. Rasos ( talk) 06:47, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • The references you added are one blog post and one youtube video. They are considered self-published and therefore do not meet the criteria for notability. -- HighKing ++ 13:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I've spent considerable time looking for sources that meet the criteria and I believe I have found at least one and possibly two. As such, I am striking the implied "Delete" from my nomination and moving to Keep. These sources were not easy to find so apologies if this seems like I had not researched previously - I had.
I would appreciate a second opinion on the above sources, especially the book. -- HighKing ++ 17:47, 15 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - Thinking about User:postdlf's question, google books finds many books about Muslim athletes in general. And specifically, being a Muslim athlete is often a notable part of an individuals biography - there are many stories about how a Muslim athlete dresses or what a Muslim athlete does during Ramadan when many Muslim's fast. Lists of Muslim athletes are also common [8]. However, there are many athletes who happen to be Muslim, but their religion is more or less irrelevant, including some individuals on the huffpo list to which I just linked. On the other hand, as the nominator suggests, the article could easily be increased many times in length by looking for Muslim Olympians and international level athletes from Mulsim majority countries. For this reason, I think the list is a bit indiscriminate and not very helpful for navigation. Smmurphy( Talk) 19:58, 12 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - There is an underlying assumption in the list that references are required only for players who are from nations where Muslims are in a minority. Also many references do not explicitly state that the said player is Muslim, relying instead on names that sound Muslim, or family backgrounds that touch upon the Muslim upbringing, without mentioning the player's personal beliefs. What I however intend to convey is not associated with WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP, but to the fact that the intersection between religion and sports is always a forced one. However WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a valid reason not to delete as well as I personally feel that Jews and Muslims are two sides of the same coin when it comes to religiosity, and the reason why such articles even exist also has got to do with that. A WP:TNT to create a list of American/French/British Muslim sportspeople as mentioned above, may be a better option, as the co-relation between sports and religion is more pronounced (and probably only exists) in cases where Muslims are a minority.

  • Weak delete as currently established. Per a lot of the commentary above, there's something to be got out of a list like this, and possibly a couple of somethings. While the list could currently (and mercifully doesn't) list just about everyone who's ever competed at a high enough level for several countries, the point is well-made that the religiosity of certain Muslim sportspeople is a notable thing - Hashim Amla and his cricket kit without certain sponsor logos comes to mind immediately, and I'm sure I've read things about the impacts of Ramadan for people doing things like distance running and playing basketball. In other cases, the athlete is known for being outspoken about "Muslim things" ( Anthony Mundine, although he was outspoken before he converted anyway). If the sentiment is against adding something at the start of the list saying that an athlete only qualifies if they're notable for being Muslim, rather than by being a notable sportsperson who happens to be Muslim, then I'd agree with the TNT option.

 Comment: Editors wo are voting for "keep": instead of pointing out why it should not be deleted, kindly point out why it deserves a place in an encyclopaedia. There is literally no use of this list, except to reverse search: "oh let me find out if XYZ muslim player is included in this list".

What comes next? "List of Christian sportspeople" or "List of English speaking sportspeople"? I think we should go with "List of White sportspeople" first, then we can work on black, yellow, and then brown Indians from India. The last list will be mostly of cricket players though. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:08, 1 June 2017 (UTC) reply

No matter whether this is a POVFORK or not, there is consensus that it is an unnecessary fork not justified by WP:SPINOFF.

Classic WP:POVFORK. Much of the material here is already found at the Sednaya Prison article. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 23:31, 17 May 2017 (UTC) reply

Oh puh-lease:

That's just the first page of google search, all of it for THE CREMATORIUM. There are literally 18 more pages of sources (not mentions) though you get into non-reliable sources after the 9th page or so. That still leaves around NINETY reliable sources (I'm forced to estimate here because there are so many) for this particular topic. NOT the prison in general which has its own separate article (as it should), but THIS topic.

Honestly, if it wasn't for all the Trump stuff, this is the topic we'd all be talking about.

If somebody else had nominated this for deletion, I would've thought it's a WP:POINTy joke, but knowing the nominator's long history in this topic area, I am aware that unfortunately this is done not as a joke. It's a WP:ADVOCACY motivated WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT nomination. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 00:05, 18 May 2017 (UTC) reply

And in case anyone thinks of saying that I am being unduly harsh on EtienneDolet, then just consider these recent two related edits of theirs [9] [10]. Here EtienneDolet is insisting that text related to the deaths and burning of thousand of killed individuals is... "uncontroversial"! Yup, that's right. Denying mass murder is "non controversial". To him. Why does he do this? Because he wants to use a non-reliable source which up until recently employed a Stormfront neo-Nazi writer on their staff (he was let go when he was exposed).

Asking someone to explain themselves is not "badgering". Maybe Ethanbas' "it is so because I say it is so" and Мандичка's "I agree with so-and-so when he says it is so because I say it is so" are valid arguments in your eyes - but they should not be, and I hope will not be, for anyone else. Ethanbas has not explained WHY he thinks this subject is deserving of its own article - all he says is that it is deserving of its own article. He has not provided any supporting arguments that would dispel the fact that an article, Sednaya Prison, already exists that could easily contain all the content in this article. Consensus, may I remind you, is not based on a tally of votes, but on reasonable, logical, policy-based arguments. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 20:54, 20 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Sednaya Prison and possibly merge some content.

Or delete as suggested below is also ok, the redirect isn't from a very probable title.  Sandstein  08:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC) reply

It follows that a person whose only claim to notability is that he has a large number of records listed on that website does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria - and Wikipedia should not make the claim that he "holds 2,400 records", since the only thing that's known is that he has submitted 2,400 records to RecordSetter.com. I have found this Huff Post source mentioning him, but that's not significant coverage. bonadea contributions talk 14:47, 5 May 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete It is truly wonderful (and a bit disturbing) that someone is trying to set a record for "Most bites taken from three apples whilst juggling", but Pankey's claim doesn't appear to hold up. The word record seems to belong to a Michael Goudeau. Fortunately, these antics have attracted no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, so Wikipedia can be spared an article about these trivialities.

  • Delete - no evidence of notabiltiy, has a certain air of promoting a pet concept. The only references are to the creator's website and slideshow, and all illustrations that specifically refer to the software testing procedure are directly from these sources (the creator having waived copyright). I am not familiar enough with the field to know if there is anything unique about what is described, or if someone is just trying to advance a neologism (or a detailed formalization) for what is in effect standard practice, but without independent referencences, we can't know whether the term is used outside of the company where it was developed.

Not all of the added references are useful. Ref. 2, "In pursuit of cleanliness" is a step in the right direction, but it is a bit of a word soup and I am not familiar enough with the publication (is that what it is?) to know if it is sufficient to establish notability; ref. 3, "Unisys technical report" is in a language I don't read, so I can't evaluate it; ref. 4, "Accelerate Defect Detection" is a press release, not independent; ref. 5, "Happy Days" does not mention HBT; ref. 6, "Testing waters" is a blog post that only mentions it in the comments section, so it is worthless; ref. 7, "Scientific method" is from a 'journal' so obscure I can't find anything about it; ref. 9, "strategic consultancy" is a company marketing flier, so perhaps shows its use outside of the creator, but its value as a WP:RS is debatable; ref. 10 is again straight from the creator, so not independent; the last ref "Aesthetics" only mentions HBT in passing, and is of debatable quality as an RS. In short, I am not convinced of notability, but even if a case can be made for notability, it doesn't excuse the massive amounts of WP:OR that make up the article, and it would need to be pared down to a stub.

  • Delete - this is a muddled presentation of concepts from systems, software, requirements, and test engineering, with very poor attribution of the author's ideas to sources, such as they are, and no awareness of the extensive technical literature in these fields. The confusion alone would be enough for WP:TNT; the WP:OR must be fatal to the article. All testing (if, as Dijkstra said, you are not simply experimenting in the hope of finding something wrong) is necessarily hypothesis-based, so the title is as vacuous as the text, I hesitate to write 'content'. The diagram of traceability is as disastrous a muddle as the text (and is being deleted), with the test list shown twice but traced in two different ways, and the test cases trace forwards to tests but backwards to requirements, enough said.

There's a lot of links to AllMusic but no actual reviews or editorial content there. There are some other directory-style listings (Discogs, IMDb, TV listings).

  • Keep all – I'm a little confused by the !votes above to be honest. WP:GNG asks for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". ESPNcricinfo, which is clearly both reliable and independent of the subject provides five news articles on the 2016 United Arab Emirates Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament, six news articles on the 2015 India Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament and seven for the 2015 Sri Lanka Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament. WP:GNG defines significant coverage as being "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Multiple news articles, clearly meets the definition of significant coverage provided. The articles clearly meet the notability requirements mentioned by Lugnuts in the specific guideline cited by Joseph2302 and Greenbörg. Harrias talk 08:19, 13 May 2017 (UTC) reply

These six newspapers include Bangladesh's largest English-language newspaper and two major Indian news services (IANS and PTI). Considering this, 2015 India Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament plainly meets WP:GNG.

we rarely create list of Consuls-General because they don't have ambassador status. But really this is a list of non resident ambassadors, consuls and to be assigned ambassador. LibStar ( talk) 09:17, 20 May 2017 (UTC) reply
So clearly, not just a list of one, and each part of that list is explained and referenced. The (albeit pending) appointment of an Australian ambassador, and the recent (last 5 years) development of Australia's presence in Colombia is a notable topic that has been covered in Australian and international press.

  • Keep Guys, Nicolas Chaillan was the founder of his first company at age 15. He founded 12 companies (not 6) and he sold over 180 products to over 40 fortune 500, making several millions of dollars. After making that much money, he decided to make a difference and sold some of his companies to join the USG. He is now the Chief Architect of Cyber.gov. For those who don't know, Cyber.gov is the world first holistic cyber architecture for all of the civilian federal agencies... Securing from DOJ to DOE to DHS... Over 436 agencies.

You have absolutely the same rights as everyone else. agreed. The concern was raised because it's unusual for a newly-registered editor (much less several and a couple of IPs) to make some of their first edits at an AfD. I'm perfectly willing to believe that there are other explanations, but it does seem odd to say the least. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC) reply
I can't talk about the other people as I don't know them, but I did already comment on several AfD I decided to start working on those for now as I'm not experienced enough with the editor. It doesn't mean I can't see who is notable or not. It seems none of you are from the US and the new cyber plan from DHS is of tremendous importance here. You might not realize it yet but it will impact us all. No one asked me to come or talk here. And as you can see they all have different names and IPs so they can't be related... at least I am not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmandaCA87 ( talkcontribs) 11:53, 30 May 2017 (UTC) reply
I see that the accounts have different names, yes. I didn't say they had the same name. As far as something which "will impact us all", I would point you to the essay WP:TOOSOON, which addresses that issue more comprehensively than I intend to here. Additionally, recall that notability isn't inherited. Even should the plan impact everyone, that would then suggest that an article should be written on it unless there are then the multiple third-party sources on any of the people behind it. Obviously in that situation there would most likely be those sources, but the argument that something will have a tremendous impact and therefore one of the people behind it is automatically notable doesn't work with the policies that Wikipedia runs on. Additionally, please remember to sign your posts. Just type four tilde characters (like this one ~) after your comment. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:00, 30 May 2017 (UTC) reply
So you're saying that the person that is creating the plan and that is Chief Architect shouldn't be notable? Sorry but having founded 12 companies plus a 20m fund plus that seems quite enough for me for a 32 years old. He has 33 references I really don't understand your point. The page has been up for years. Why is this coming out now when he works for the USG? That seems quite shady to me... I just don't even understand when we have porn actresses on this site with a profile but we don't want our top cyber experts? To be selected to do this by the US President should be quite enough??? AmandaCA87 ( talk) 12:33, 30 May 2017 (UTC) reply
I understand your point about too soon. But it isnt. It's not like he only did this before. Companies, fund, PHP. 33 references prove it isn't too soon. AmandaCA87 ( talk) 12:40, 30 May 2017 (UTC) reply
I have to say as one of the original contributor of this page, I'm quite shocked that a deletion is being considered and I can't help but wonder why it is happening 2 years later, right when Nicolas Chaillan is selected by the President of the United States to manage their new cybersecurity.

  • Delete. I'm persuaded by the arguments made by the nominator, especially regarding the documentation on being "Chief Architect" of a US-government cybersecurity division. The first source (footnote 29) pre-dates the subject's hiring by the government and tells us only that he was a panel speaker at a government conference. And the second is just an inter-office e-mail. If the latter is evidence of notability, then everybody in that e-mail group would be notable (and, of course, they aren't).

Strong keep: This request is so counter-productive and controversial. Galena is one of the biggest pop artists in Bulgaria and enjoys international fame outside Bulgaria as well, notably in Romania, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, let alone the big Bulgarian diaspora throughout the world. Her big rivalry with Preslava, another big pop artist is the subject of so much media material. She has huge collaborations with notable Bulgarian and non-Bulgarian artists and very popular with DJs throughout Europe. She has won a great number of awards including as best artist. Consistent presence on Bulgarian TV and music stations. I don't know what blanking such an article would benefit English Wikipedia readers. Or do we actually want even absolutely famous Bulgarian artists to be confined to their "small corner" and not be heard of internationally. True, the article may need further citations, but this is true of almost all Bulgarian art subjects on English Wikipedia, and it is the easiest job to go to any Bulgarian artist page in English, slap it with a speedy deletion note and the article is gone in a day without discussion even. But that doesn't justify deleting an article itself, at least in case of Galena. Improve it instead with references. There are plenty of sources in Bulgarian at least. werldwayd ( talk) 01:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - An incredibly weak deletion rationale, if you want to call "not notable enough" a rationale. I strongly suspect this article was nominated with a check for foreign sources. If we rely solely on English sources, I would not have been able to write articles on notable French vaudeville singers. The same goes for this Bulgarian singer: she is well-known in Bulgaria but not as well in the US. However, that is not a reason to delete; in fact, it is a reason to find Bulgarian sources (unfortunately I cannot read Bulgarian as well as I do French) and expand this article.
