It feels like an unneccicary expansion to the 2016 election page, rather than it's own page. OrangeYoshi99 ( talk) 22:59, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

I'm putting it back because the article is part of a series of articles on the election results of the all the primaries in the 50 states, six territories and the District of Columbia. See below:

Thanks for spotting that, I'd also note that the nominator had earlier speedied it as WP:CSD#G1 " patent nonsense, consisting purely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history". Even for an editor with only a few hundred edits, this is far from the level of WP:COMPETENCE we require. This repeated deletion attempt was either less than competent, WP:POINTY or something deeper.

  • Andy, I have marked it under G1, and immediately undid the action, as I felt it was not suitable.

  • Full disclosure: I'm the original creator here. Our rules about the notability of bands and the citing of sources were very different in 2004, when I created this, than they are now — at the time, any band that had at least one independently notable member was an eligible topic on that basis alone, and we were nowhere near as strict about requiring the sources to be in the article as long as they were locatable. And the promotional tinge here wasn't written by me, but was added later on by a user named Jptrash ( WP:COI, if you look carefully at the names of the band's members). But both WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG have been tightened up considerably in the past twelve years, and my own sense of what belongs here and what doesn't has evolved right alongside them — under the standards that apply today nothing here passes NMUSIC, and while I checked ProQuest just now and got a handful of hits, none of them were substantive enough to satisfy GNG. So it was a legitimate article at the time I created it — but today, it's a delete. Bearcat ( talk) 18:43, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Move to Santa's Magic Crystal. I can't find any articles specifically focused on Red Caps, but the Variety article, already incorporated as a reference here, mentions the series in relation to the feature film Santa's Magic Crystal. A Google News search for that film title, paired with the name of film's director, yields an actual review of the film, published by The National [3], as well as this short piece by Animation Magazine, [4] which lists the film (under the truncated title The Magic Crystal) as an entry in a European film festival. -- Jpcase ( talk) 13:38, 1 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, possibly move to Santa's Magic Crystal. While the film seems more notable than the series, both have received some reliable coverage. While I think that one article covering both the topics is enough, I am not sure under which title it should be (the title of the film, which seems to be more sourcable, or the title of the series which originated it).

  • Keep sourcing appears to be a matter of language. There are third party sources although they are not easy to find. It is a Finnish program so the sources are mostly in Finnish. It also appears to have been popular in Hungary under the title "Télapó pirossapkás koboldjai", a search for which yields more results (in Hungarian, of course). So, keep if it can be expanded using the foreign language sources.-- William Thweatt Talk Contribs 06:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

No coherent classification; mixing types of bombs, individual bombs, and ingredients. The list of different weights is particularly bizarre and dates to 2009. I made an attempt to clean it up but reverted those changes as I'm not even sure what a "bomb" is anymore. Looking at the talk page comment from over six years ago, it seems like there's little chance of improvement here. Qzd ( talk) 06:50, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

That list has a much narrower scope than just "bombs". This article suffers inherently from WP:OVERCAT. Rather deletion, perhaps it should redirect to Lists of weapons (which incidentally does not include this list). For example, List of cars redirects to a more reasonable list of automobile articles.

  • Reluctant keep: I can envision a list of "bombs", defined as "exploding weapon", as being notable, sourced and generally within the scope of WP:SAL. It would actually be a list of the types of bombs rather than the bombs themselves, though (unlike List of nuclear weapons which can aim at exhaustivity).
It would be a nightmare to maintain, and it is quite far from the current article, but that means standard editorial process and talk page discussion, not deletion. WP:TNT is only an essay, and I would apply it only to case where the article to be created is on a different subject despite sharing the same title (say, if the current articles was a list of occurences of a football move).

No evidence of notability. Neither of the cited sources (second link is dead, but can be accessed by the wayback machine) mentions the phrase "Business service visualization". Very little coverage not just in reliable sources, but in any sources other than WP mirrors. There is one exception I could find: a brief from 2011 put out by CA Technologies, which uses the phrase twice in total. I don't think this coverage is sufficient to meet WP:WORDISSUBJECT (although this is a phrase the above guideline still seems to apply). Given that there is little evidence of this phrase meeting any other notability guidelines, like GNG, I think this page should be deleted. Everymorning (talk) 06:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The result was delete/redirect per WP:SNOW. I'm closing this early, given that the actress and her mother have both requested that the page be removed and there's a consensus that at this point in time she does not pass WP:NBIO outside of her appearance in Peter Pan. Since she is known for portraying Tiger Lily I'm going to delete the article and turn it into a redirect to Peter Pan (2003 film), which Gray has stated she is fine with. Because of the harassment, I'm going to protect the redirect against any future edits - if any one does want to re-create the article, they will have to request permission through an admin in this situation. Ms Gray is also in the process of sending an e-mail through the official channels to confirm her identity, which should also hopefully add an extra level of protection to the page.

I am batch-nominating 21 pages that all fall under "Transit of X from Y". These pages are nearly carbon-copies of one another, varying only with details such as the actual transit times/dates and minor trivia. The wording and the tone of these implies some very heavy OR and borders on a lack of a NPOV. The fact that none of these transits have been observed, coupled with the fact that they may never be observed, leads to an unnecessary set of pages with little more than crufty information.

I should mention that there are some pages that are actually decent (the full list is here, and those will be left alone. Primefac ( talk) 05:15, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all but one as they're unreferenced speculation on something that has little-to-no chance of being observed any time soon. Not notable and mostly original research. However, Transit of Venus from Saturn does seem to have been observed by Cassini (spacecraft) e.g. [5]. I've not checked to see how extensive the results were, but it does seem to have received media coverage. Modest Genius talk 13:54, 8 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete all as "unencyclopedic" (no notability). (Disclaimer: I checked only 5 of them randomly + the Venus-Saturn one, and I am ready to change my !vote on others - I trust the nominator on the "all are similar" claim.)
I am not convinced that the Cassini observation of Venus-Saturn is relevant: the subject of those articles is how powerful the spectrometer aboard Cassini is, not the event that was used for the test. I would argue the astronomic event in itself is pretty much insignificant, and falls under WP:MILL. This being said, the event certainly warrants a mention on Transit_(astronomy). Tigraan ( talk) 16:10, 8 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete all. There's no evidence of notability for these transit events, and as others have said, there appears to be a large amount of original research. With regard to Transit of Venus from Saturn, I agree with Tigraan's analysis; the media coverage discussed the transit as a test of Cassini's instrumentation, not as a notable event.

You make a fair point (up until you added the list bit), and my sarcasm/cynicism was probably not necessary, but we've observed all of the solar eclipses, and those articles actually have data and images and references (and OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, of course). I should have instead referenced ITEXISTS as not being a valid reason for inclusion, but I had the whole "tree in the forest" metaphor stuck in my head. As response to the ( edit conflict), these are not currently list articles, and we don't need 21 separate pages to have a list of the transits. Primefac ( talk) 18:17, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply

I think merging them all into one article is an acceptable solution. XavierGreen ( talk) 22:18, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply
The merge target would likely be Transit_(astronomy), and it would be quite dumb to have a subsection listing all possible "transits of X from Y" for any two values of X and Y, with 99% of individually non-notable items with no further information. (I guess that is not what you had in mind.) Having not been observed by humans eyes is indeed irrelevant, but an astronomical event that no human studied is likely non-notable. Tigraan ( talk) 13:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Comment. Regarding Kheider's analogy of solar eclipses being notable, I would argue that the reasons for this notability aren't applicable to transits/eclipses viewed from elsewhere in the solar system. Solar eclipses are notable when viewed from Earth because they (1) receive widespread, detailed attention in reliable secondary sources, (2) are frequently observed by millions of people, and (3) are of historical significance. These considerations don't exist for transits/eclipses viewed from other celestial bodies. Accordingly, I think that these articles need to establish that transits of X viewed from Y meet WP:N, but I don't think that they can do so. As for XavierGreen's original point, there are hundreds of thousands of known bodies in the solar system, and it seems inevitable that at some point, a transit could be observed from almost every one of them. These transits are so ubiquitous that I don't think that notability can be presumed. Indeed, I'm skeptical that this material should even be merged. Best Regards, Astro4686 ( talk) 22:47, 10 February 2016 (UTC) reply
While there are hundreds of thousands of known bodies in the solar system, there are only 8 known planets and the transits of the outer planets are such an exceedingly rare event that such an occurrence is notable in itself. XavierGreen ( talk) 14:11, 11 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Oh, they've only occurred thousands if not millions of times since the formation of the solar system. What makes those happening around t = 3.5 billion years since the solar system has formed so special? Headbomb { talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:22, 11 February 2016 (UTC) reply
You would create a list article called List of solar transits and those that wp:I just don't like it could walk away. Planets transiting the solar disc are fairly rare events. -- Kheider ( talk) 14:32, 11 February 2016 (UTC) reply
We could, but the difference between IDONTLIKEIT and GNG is pretty significant. The argument so far seems to be that these specific transit pages don't meet GNG. Primefac ( talk) 15:20, 11 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The article appears to be advertising for a web site. It doesn't cite any reliable unaffiliated sources. Notability is not established. The citations are to the site itself and its affiliated promoters. The one cited source that might appear unaffiliated, something called Science Business, seems to be an affiliated promotional advertising service (see the site's "About us" information). The text in the article seems to be mostly copied from the website's promotional material (e.g., at http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/ias/piirus.aspx) – see, especially, what it said before I started trying to remove some of the non-neutral and non-notable information from it. This, of course, suggests a potential copyright problem as well as a lack of neutrality. The article has mostly been edited only by anonymous IPs that seem to repeatedly try to give it a more promotional tone (and do not respond to comments on their Talk pages asking them whether they work for the company). The article has apparently been speedily deleted before, per remarks on the Talk page of the article's creator. The article's creator also seems to have a number of messages on their Talk page indicating a pattern of copyright issues, and the user does not appear to have ever responded to the comments on their Talk page.

Basically a WP:COATRACK to Hart wrestling family, Stampede Wrestling and related topics. The article is loaded with sources of dubious reliability or relevance to demonstrating the topic's notability, to the point of offering the impression that the promotion's tenuous relationship with the Hart family is its claim of notability, rather than anything which actually occurred. From reading the article, I was able to determine that they've held one wrestling event, which was not financially successful. The article and its sources dwell on that one event while leaving plenty of doubts as to whether they've actually held as opposed to merely announced any other events. When I was growing up, your typical wrestling promotion held 300–350 events per year, year in and year out, so whoop-dee-fucking-doo about this promotion maybe holding two or three events per year, if that. Last I checked, we're supposed to be here to reflect notable occurrences, not serve as another social media site promoting bottom feeders, regurgitating press releases and the like. Pacific Northwest Wrestling includes mentions of (loosely-)related successor promotions which are not independently notable. As such, this promotion and the countless others that have laid claim to being Stampede's successor in Calgary since its 1989 demise could easily fit within a paragraph or two towards the bottom of that article.

Keep - I disagree with pretty much everything that you've said. This page wasn't made to promote anything. I made it mostly because of the fact that it's had two relatively big controversies and has been covered by CBC.ca, the Calgary Herald and the Calgary Sun. If you think it doesn't deserve it's own article and should be included in the Stampede Wrestling article that's one thing, but don't claim that this articles intent was to be a "social media site promoting bottom feeders" as you said. I have absolutely no interest in making the people who handle this promotion any favours. I personally feel that it is notable enough that it can have it's own article but it's up to other people to say if they agree. *Treker ( talk) 21:12, 30 January 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - AfD is not the place to suggest merging articles, although I would oppose that as well. This is not Stampede Wrestling, and it does not seem sufficiently connected with Stampede to be included in the article. The rest of the nominator's rationale is a series of WP:IDONTLIKE it complaints ("Things were better back in the good ol' days.") that are not based in policy or guidelines. GNG is satisfied because of the extent of coverage in independent reliable sources (no, not all of the sources present are reliable, but the ones that are more than satisfy GNG). GaryColemanFan ( talk) 21:38, 30 January 2016 (UTC) reply
I forget how many years ago it was that Maclean's put Madonna on their cover. I do remember the furor which ensued over how Canadian media should be about Canada and not the United States. Considering that, there must be lots of slow news days in Canada, because this absolutely reeks of "slow news day article". Unfulfilled promotional hype and unpaid bills are a fact of life in the wrestling business, even at a lot higher levels than this. That the project has chosen to categorically avoid sources which portray certain (read: uncomplimentary) views of the business, regardless of the editorial oversight of those sources, doesn't excuse away that fact. Speaking of the "good ol' days", Bill Watts wrote that he was able to start Mid-South Wrestling because of the political connections he developed in Louisiana. There once was a time when athletic commissions were a very real thing, and wrestling promotions had to conform to their desires and pay for the privilege, too. The state of Louisiana was one of a number of jurisdictions which granted an exclusive franchise to promote professional wrestling. According to Watts, the state was tired of dealing with different promoters in every town or region, with unpaid bills being one of the chief reasons why. Watts was talking about the 1970s. So this promotion is more notable than any other financially unsuccessful local promotion for what reason? As I deal a lot with topics related to sparsely populated regions of the earth, saying that something having to do with Calgary is a bigger deal than some dude promoting the East Bumfuck War Memorial Auditorium amounts to systemic bias. Otherwise, it's continuing to validate my concerns of WP:COATRACK. I didn't even bring up WP:NOTINHERITED, while we're at it.
The mere existence of a few reliable sources here and there is no indication of notability or suitability for inclusion. By this criteria, every local wrestling promotion and traveling wrestling huckster in history receiving more than trivial media coverage, even if for skipping town with financial obligations, is entitled to a Wikipedia article. I was researching magazine and newspaper articles on professional wrestling back in the 1980s when there were no web search engines. Various wrestling historians have published newsletters and websites over the decades which track the appearance of professional wrestling in reliable sources throughout the early and middle 20th century. Even if those sources lack a URL, they still qualify under editorial oversight, and it would be no problem to expand our coverage in that direction. As a strictly practical matter, however, we're not going to do that. Once again, what makes this particular promotion special? Whatever fleeting connection it has to the Hart family? The lead makes it pretty clear that this is what we're hinging its notability upon. If Bret Hart has nothing to do with the promotion, he doesn't need to be mentioned, period. The lead mentions other members of the Hart family as "operators" of the promotion while a different set of names are listed in the infobox as "owners", and only confuses the relationship between those two entities the further along it goes. Either you're unconcerned about a general audience who is unfamiliar with the people and particulars involved, or it's further evidence of my concerns, or both.
While I don't necessarily agree with the unreliable sources satisfying GNG, do they satisfy BLP? Last I checked, I'm allowed to raise BLP concerns regardless of whether or not this is the most apprpriate forum for it. I'm reading a lot of names and specifics in connection with malfeasance in the article text, not mentioned in such detail in the CBC story but mentioned in detail in perhaps unreliable sources. I've read plenty enough over the years to suggest that Smith Hart lacks credibility in certain circles, but I'm not rushing to include any of that in a BLP article. However, he makes an announcement of a match which never happened, with no evidence presented that the associated event ever happened. There's a heap of ref tags surrounding questionable sources "verifying" this. So the reaction to the announcement is what's notable here? I ask because I see little or no evidence that any of the events announced actually occurred. I think it's important we get something like that straight, otherwise we validate the criticisms of Wikipedia as wannabe newspaper or TMZ. Any one of us can be on a blog or on Facebook all day long, stirring shit in the hopes that a media organization will take notice of what we're saying, further allowing us to have a "reliable source" with which to game Wikipedia's coverage. There's evidence of that all over the encyclopedia. Is that a solid approach to building an encyclopedic information resource? No.
Back in 1985, when in my late teens and too dumb and eager to know any better of what I was getting myself into, I became briefly involved with the business in an utterly minor role. My mother worked for a guy named Bruce Kendall and my older sister and I both worked for one of Kendall's closest business associates. One of the multitude of enterprises that guy engaged in was promoting professional wrestling, in conjunction with a former wrestler. They also set up a wrestling school. The venture lasted all of six months (August 1985 to February 1986) and was fraught with problems from the get go. However, they were affiliated with the AWA, which was really more an excuse for Verne Gagne to go on a fishing trip than anything else. Still, we had guys like Zbyszko and the Freebirds who performed in front of more fans in a single show than Smith Hart ever did in a month of Sundays, excepting perhaps his few tours of Japan and Puerto Rico. This promotion also received some amount of local media buzz for being the first pro wrestling in Alaska in well over a decade (Don Owen Promotions announced an upcoming show in Alaska in May 1983, but I've yet to find any evidence of whether it actually took place). From what I can tell, the promotion held more events and drew more paying fans, either per event or total, in six months than Hart Legacy Wrestling has in nearly four years of existence. The point here is that I could dig up all sorts of reliable sources related to that promotion and plaster together an article, and you would still view it the same way that I'm viewing this. Do different standards apply because I happen to view a URL which happens to point to a media outlet which qualifies as a reliable source? The Anchorage Times is also a reliable source, but since it went out of business in 1992, there's no URL to be had were I to do what I just described. As there's plenty of attitudes of "no URL = no WP:V" to be found on here, this is also a systemic bias issue which needs to be acknowledged.

I'm sorry I don't see how any of these arguments make sense or how your story about being involved in the industry when you were younger is relevant at all. You simply don't seem to like this article and want it gone. Since when does it matter if it was a slow news week as you say. *Treker ( talk) 16:32, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
Perhaps it's just a difference in perspective. Here's another one. I make my living in a very results-driven, boots-on-the-ground line of business. Therefore, I'm flabbergasted someone would believe that the notability of a company boils down to how much media buzz the company generates for themselves, all the while said media and other ostensibly reliable sources tell us that the company is as long on media buzz and name recognition as it is short on actual accomplishments. Notability is what we're discussing. Last I checked, we're supposed to give more weight to accomplishments than to announcements in determining notability. I've been through a number of AFDs of articles constructed by patching together sources but not patching together a coherent narrative or clear claim of notability to tie everything together. Eventually, some editor will argue that the mere existence of the sources constitutes notability, but that hasn't saved the article from being deleted. As I said before, this is at the level of suggesting that any one could write a Wikipedia article about themselves. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 18:41, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
I still don't see how anything you've said supports the deletion of this page. I don't care for what businesses you have worked with or for, it isn't relevant. This article isn't meant to promote any media buzz for the promotion or support it. It's here because the events surrounding it, both controversies and charity events has been covered by notable news sources in Canada and in the pro wrestling sphere, PWInsider, PWTorch, F4W and Canoe are all decently reliable sources for news about pro wrestling. I also wouldn't suport including the material in Teddy Hart since the controversy appears to be more surrounding the promoter, the Hart Family's wikipedia page since the event only seem to have included about three or four of it's members, or the Stampede Wrestling's page since this clearly isn't that promotion. *Treker ( talk) 19:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
This discussion has already reached the point of being too polluted by the perspective of wrestling fandom. Plenty of editors will be happy to beat you over the head with their contention that we're here for a general audience, period. To that end, there will be readers who won't be viewing this article through fanboy goggles. If they view this promotion as simply a company and not expressly as a wrestling promotion, we leave lots of doubt as to just what the fuck the big deal is, anyway. I also should point out that my line of business is heavily competitive. Compounding that, Trump's rise to prominence is entirely too appropriate, as the predatory, dog-eat-dog economic environment which has kept New York City afloat all these years has spread throughout the rest of the country. Resultantly, I don't need Casey Kasem to tell me to "keep reaching for the stars". As I've been working for a living since I was 16 years old, I already know that I need to keep reaching for the stars, otherwise I don't eat or sleep as well the next day. I've also been involved in politics in years past. I think I can safely say that you don't stick around that long in either business or politics if all you do is issue press releases. You have to go out and do something, and the article's text and sources are painfully short of describing what they've actually done. It's little surprising that the project hates on Ring of Hell so much, as it dwells on the less noble aspects of the Harts, with one chapter entitled "Turd Polish". Go read it and you'll think that this promotion is just the next episode in a lineage of such behavior. At least Stu Hart had willing guinea pigs and a healthy business to boot. Anyway, I didn't feel like it before, but I guess it's necessary to invite other perspectives on this. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 20:26, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply

The fact that you've been working since you've been 16 or what you work with has no relevance to anything. Don't turn this into being about me and you and insulting me. The only one here with an obvious bias is you. I don't have any "fanboy goggles" and if you think the writing is sub-par you can chose to fix it.

I don't wish to dwell about inherent media bias. Here in the United States, I can tune in 24/7 to any number of media outlets masquerading as the Trump News Network for all the minutiae I can stomach. That doesn't mean that every little last bit of it is appropriate to encyclopedic coverage of Trump or the presidential race or any other related topics. Same applies here, except that minutiae is needed in this case to fill up content, so that you have anything at all. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 18:41, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
I don't wish to dwell on media bias either but since you brought it up, I'm not Canadian nor have I ever lived in Canada. The fact that some Canadian news sources have chosen to write about pro wrestling instead of something else doesn't matter, the sources may be from somewhere but they're available everywhere through the internet. Of course every detail about the presidential campaign cannot be included in the article, it would end up being ridiculously long and cluttered, but by that logic a lot of articles should not be deemed relevant because they don't have as large amount of media coverage as Trump. As far as I'm concerned notability has been covered. *Treker ( talk) 19:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply

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

This article is actually pretty good overall, but after doing some research, the article topic (Animal Charity Evaluators) seems unlikely to meet Wikipedia notability standards. The sources cited are almost all primary, and two of the secondary sources are from personal blogs (Nonprofit Chronicles and The Ultimate Fundraiser) and therefore not reliable. The remaining secondary source is by Peter Singer, and after some digging I found several other such articles (and mentions in books) by Singer, but Singer is on the ACE board of directors ( cite) and therefore not independent. I was able to find a mention in a secondary source here, but this is only a bare mention, and there doesn't seem to be anything else in Google Books, Google News, or the Google newspaper archive.

  • Comment. Discussed at some length in this book. Since this is a pseudoscience group, this is also a good source per WP:PARITY. If not enough sources are found I strongly suggest that, per WP:PRESERVE, the correct choice would be to Merge to effective altruism. This organization has a great deal of currency in the US animal rights movement, and Wikipedia can perform a valuable service by debunking its claims. -- Sammy1339 ( talk) 22:24, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
    • Woah there. Merging might be a reasonable choice, but the purpose of Wikipedia is not to "perform a valuable service by debunking claims". Wikipedia can record the debunking of claims, but only if these claims have already been debunked elsewhere by a consensus of reliable sources, which seems pretty unlikely to be the case here. See WP:SOAPBOX, WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. Spectra239 ( talk) 23:43, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • It's identified as promoting pseudoscience in the two sources I linked. It's standard practice to include such commentaries, per WP:FRINGE. And the purpose of Wikipedia is to inform people, hopefully with accurate information. I understand where you're coming from, though, because I myself have gotten caught in the crossfire of the soapboxing anti-fringe folks. -- Sammy1339 ( talk) 23:53, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • That isn't what the sources say, though. The first says that "ACE is highly interconnected with professionalized advocacy organizations, which seems to influence perceptions of efficacy.", which is essentially a conflict-of-interest claim. The second says that "the conclusions drawn are of questionable validity because the data used in the determination of effectiveness are nonexistent or faulty". In academic terms, claims that "Institute X is biased because it's friends with group Y" or "Institute X has reached questionable conclusions based on faulty data" (which scientists say about each other all the time) are very different from "Institute X is a fringe pseudoscience organization" (which you'd only expect to apply to eg. Flat Earther groups). In any case, it's fine to include claims of CoI or faulty data as claims ("person X says Y"), but the article itself can't say "Y", because the sources are clearly biased and of questionable reliability. Spectra239 ( talk) 00:11, 1 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Alright, granted. But note that the second source actually uses the terms "pseudoscience" albeit not specifically about them, and "garbage in, garbage out" specifically about them. -- Sammy1339 ( talk) 00:19, 1 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Hello, I'm not familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, but I'd like to share some of my domain knowledge for your consideration. (1) There are numerous secondary sources discussing ACE's work. In addition to the ones you mention, the book (published by Penguin) "Doing Good Better", the book (published by John Wiley & Sons) "How to Be Great at Doing Good", Poker Update, 80,000 Hours, The Guardian, Huffington Post, The Dodo, Our Hen House, Raising for Effective Giving, and Charity Science. I am not sure where the notability cutoff for organizations like this, but just want you to be aware. (2) Corey Lee Wrenn, the person who wrote about ACE in that reference, is known as a contentious figure in the animal protection movement and for criticizing all groups that don't advocate an explicitly vegan strategy. Vegan Publishers, the second reference, is known for similar tactics. Also, I don't think ACE is connected with advocacy groups any more than is necessary to evaluate them properly, since that requires knowledge of their finances, strategy, accomplishments, mistakes, etc. It seems to make more sense to judge ACE based on the content of their work and use of evidence rather than opinions from sources we haven't established as reputable when discussing whether they practice "psuedoscience." (3) ACE acknowledges that they have limited evidence available in making their recommendations, e.g. "The field of animal advocacy has historically suffered from a lack of research attention. As a result, in our research ACE continually encounters questions not addressed directly by existing studies. While we conduct some studies ourselves to strengthen the evidentiary basis of our evaluations, we have limited research capacity and experience." It's unclear to me why working on difficult questions with limited evidence makes an organization "psuedoscience" or what other concerns could point in that direction. I mean, ACE even has a research library devoted to collecting academic research relevant to effective advocacy. --Not a Wikipedia user, just a concerned citizen.

  • Delete. The IP's comments have convinced me that the two sources in my initial comment (now struck) are WP:BIASED, and all of the sources mentioned by the IP are primary, closely connected to the subject, or non-RS. (The only possible exception is William MacAskill, author of the first book and the guardian piece which is just a passing mention; the second book is by Nick Cooney who is closely connected to two groups which are heavily promoted by ACE.) This means we have no hope of an article, even a stub, that satisfies NPOV. ACE currently has a brief one-line mention in Effective altruism#Other organizations, which is probably all we can do with the sources available. -- Sammy1339 ( talk) 01:21, 5 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. This was nominated for AfD under the idea that secondary sources are lacking, but later commenters then pointed out several relevant secondary sources. (Sammy1339 listed hostile sources, which means they are certainly secondary, and an unsigned commenter subsequently listed ten additional positive sources, nine of which are secondary.)

  • Let's go through those.
1. William MacAskill, very marginal popular book. He's affiliated with several effective altruism groups and is an associate of Peter Singer, who is on the ACE board. Somewhat unclear; this might be okay.
2. Nick Cooney, founder of one and current employee of the other of the two main groups that ACE promotes year after year. Also heavily promotional of ACE.
3. A passing mention in Poker Update.
4. Written by the "Secretary of the board of Animal Charity Evaluators".
5. MacAskill again, very brief passing mention.
6. Interview with someone from one of the groups promoted by ACE, passing mention only. Solely mentioned via the question: "Animal Charity Evaluators has rated MFA one of its top recommended charities for the second year in a row, and MFA has received many additional awards for its effectiveness. What makes MFA such a high-impact charity?" And not even mentioned in the answer to that question.
7. Advertizement.
8. Online-only talk-show interview with " the Executive Director of Animal Charity Evaluators".
9. I can't even tell what this is, but it's not an RS.
10. Charity Science - looks like another fringe "effective altruist" organization to me.
So no, there are hardly any secondary sources except the scathingly critical ones from my initial post. Better to leave this one out. -- Sammy1339 ( talk) 03:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Reasons I don't find (most of) these convincing:
1. I think a second-degree connection through a board members is a pretty weak affiliation, but you seem to agree.
2. I don't think "promotional of ACE" is a concern in itself; it just means he likes ACE. The employment/founding concern makes sense, although given how small the farmed animal advocacy community is, it's hard to find leaders in the community who aren't affiliated in some way with a given organization. Still, I agree this is the most non-independent.
3. Passing, but an independent, secondary source nonetheless.
4. Similarly to 2, the effective altruism community is also small and well-connected. Agree it's not very independent in absolute terms, but given the nature of the community, it's understandable.
5. The entire article is about ACE in a way, or at least, effective animal charities. See 1 for why I don't find the affiliation concerning.
6. Passing, and probably weaker than others due to the affiliation.
7. Why do you think it's an advertisement? Because it's so positive in tone? Everything on The Dodo is this positive. I'm not convinced.
8. Why is an online-only talk-show somehow not reliable or independent? And interviews with affiliated people seem fine as long as the source is secondary.
9. Raising for Effective Giving is a legitimate organization that supports ACE. Not sure what your issue is with this one.
10. I don't think being an effective altruist organization makes you non-reputable, but feel free to point me to something. Empamazing ( talk) 04:04, 5 February 2016 (UTC)Empamazing ( talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

    • No DThomsen8, they are just repetition of album review and chart info that can easily be contained inside the parent album article and the Coldplay discography article. — IB [ Poke ] 09:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
    • Not necessarily, but I believe there is enough information about this song's recording, composition, reception, live performances, and charting history to justify an article. There are many, many more sources that could be used to expand this article. I added just a few. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
      • Well where is the notability then? Existence of source is one thing and them being present in the article is another. The key here is independent third party sources talking about the song, not passing mentions in album review. — IB [ Poke ] 20:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Per nomination reasons. There is no notability in the coverage of third party sources. See Question above.-- DThomsen8
  • Keep: This article should be kept. Deletion should be out of the question. Merger can be considered, but since the song for which the article is written happens to be the theme song on the album, it has a certain degree of prominence justifying its article here. Best to keep. Garagepunk66 ( talk) 05:51, 6 February 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Charting in at least three countries that we know of; title track on an album that reached numerous #1 or #2 positions; definitely enough material for an article, as has already been demonstrated. It's difficult to Google search for this song alone since the track title is the same as the album title, but it's clear there is enough material and enough notability.

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a rapper, making no real claim of notability for anything more than existing. His only listed releases have been one single and a pair of mixtapes, so nothing here gives him an WP:NMUSIC pass — and the complete lack of any reliable source referencing at all means that he doesn't satisfy WP:GNG either. Possibly just WP:TOOSOON for an article about somebody who may become more notable in the future — but nothing claimed here entitles him to already have a Wikipedia article today. Delete.

  • Delete as although he may be notable being signed to a label, there's nothing to suggest a better notable article. SwisterTwister talk 21:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. I came here looking to close this but as it stands we only have two arguments for deletion that deal with the issue of notability, another that can be given no weight whatsoever, and one that states he may be notable and appears to confuse notability with article quality. If people could start by stating whether they believe the subject is notable or not, and their reasoning and evidence why, it would be helpful. -- Michig ( talk) 08:10, 14 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The article's subject fails WP:GNG. It has been unsourced for 9 years. The article was deprodded by Tavix. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk) 00:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Per WP:GEOLAND, populated places are never deleted outright from Wikipedia, so long as they can be properly verified as real places rather than WP:HOAXes. However, if its simple existence is the only thing we can verify about it, and there's really nothing else properly sourceable to say, then the alternative that we do have is to redirect it to a larger related topic rather than leaving it as a permanently unsourced standalone topic. Since this is a subdistrict of the larger city of Surakarta, accordingly, the most appropriate solution here is to redirect it to Surakarta. Bearcat ( talk) 00:33, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I see references that predate the creation of the Wikipedia article, so this is not a hoax. Curro2 ( talk) 01:01, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Nobody said or suggested that it was a hoax. But what it is, is an unreferenced article about a topic that could just as easily be addressed in the article about its parent topic rather than needing its own standalone article separately from the city it's in.

Advertorially-toned WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim to notability per WP:NMUSIC and no substantive reliable source coverage to support it. The strongest claim here is that he reached #1 on a music blog aggregator's charts — but we only permit IFPI-certified charts such as Billboard — and the only non- primary and non- bloggy source here is a 43-word blurb in Q. Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which emerging musicians are entitled to advertise themselves — it's an encyclopedia, on which the notability and the media coverage have to already be there or else it's WP:TOOSOON. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when his notability and sourceability improve. Bearcat ( talk) 00:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Line of Best Fit is a blog, so it's not a source that can count toward WP:GNG. It's one of the more reputable music blogs and has several named contributors rather than just one, so it falls in the class of blogs that would be acceptable for some supplementary sourcing of facts after GNG had already been met by better sources — but it can't carry a person over GNG if it's the best, or the only, source there is.
