- Delete First off, Wow!. After reading some article about her, I was left speechless. Beyond that, she is known for some statements in June 2011. There are a ton of news articles in June about her. She is mentioned in blogs after June, but I couldn't find anything that was reliable and talked about her beyond her June statements. It is clearly a case of WP:BLP1E and somebody having their 15 minutes of fame. Bgwhite (talk) 08:27, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Wikipedia is not the news, and I am just not finding sources that discuss her in any context other than this comment. She's running for office but doesn't actually hold an office, and, it seems, never has. I'm open to the possibility that there are other sources in Arabic, which I can't read, but in English, I'm not seeing the sources that would confirm notability. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:50, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it's not a comment nor just a talk she is notable In Arab and the world for making weird suggestions that got media's attention even Fox channel talk about and bbc..am trying to expand the article next few days with support of sources.--Neogeolegend (talk) 05:23, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: A one-off news piece does not count as long-term enduring notability. If you wish to avoid the deletion process while constructing an article, you may do so by creating a userspace draft, but it is not in itself a rationale for keeping an article.

No significant coverage in reliable sources. One of his films, Mujhe Jeene Do, is notable, he himself is not. Since the film article does not contain significant information on Bhattacharjee (none with reliable sources, that is), a redirect would not be helpful. Huon (talk) 21:42, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - I do respect your comments regarding Moni Bhattacharjee however in bulk reviewing you didn't check it properly in Moni Bhattacharjee article has citations are satisfying the secondary sources policy in Wikipedia, look you are agreed on the point that his one movie is very notable and its logical thing that if his movies are notable so does he, its not only one movie he has more than 6 biggest movies as he is director of nineties and he was very well known and notable personality of his time as he was in nineties therefore its hard to find information on internet however I am working on it as soon as I find I will upload it therefore deleting of article is not a good solution therefore it ought to improve rather deleting. --Faizanalivarya (talk) 22:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:CREATIVE in that his works have notability through commentary and review. For example, his work Mujhe Jeene Do has a quite in-depth review and commentary in The Hindu, and his works have analysis and comentary in multiple books. And beyond WP:CREATIVE, he meets WP:ANYBIO for his 1964 Palme d'Or nomination at Cannes Film Festival. We have enough available to show notability, even if it was 40+ years ago. Notability is not temporary and we do not expect ongoing modern coverage for a respected filmmaker whose last production was in 1968. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:17, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Notability sure isn't temporary, but it isn't inherited either. My understanding was that winning an award counted as "winning significant critical attention" per WP:CREATIVE while a nomination did not. But even if he scraped by WP:CREATIVE on that account, he still fails the general notability guideline, and I don't see how we have enough secondary sources about him to write anything beyond a stub. For example, I cannot even tell whether he's still alive or when he was born. Since we don't expect new coverage, this won't get better. Huon (talk) 12:45, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The the essence of WP:NTEMP is that Wikipedia accepts that a person who was notable in India 40 to 50 years before the internet does not need ongoing modern coverage. That prior notability is found in that he and his works are spoken of in a more-than-trivial manner in books (pinging the GNG) as the coverage is NOT trivial and his accomplishments have made it into the enduring historical record. Further, we cannot dismiss that in his easily meeting WP:CREATIVE (not just "scraping by") in that his works also have coverage exceeding the GNG. But what is also cogent is that the GNG is not the sole determinant of notability... just the easiest to argue. And please note the essay WP:INHERITED deals more with familial relationships and not creative endeavours. If I were to argue that WP:ANYBIO could be ignored because it encourages notability-by-association with an award, I would be laughed off the project. What we have here is a reasonable preumption, supported by archived coverage of his works in newspapers and of himself & works in books (even if all 50-year-old India newspapers are not available online), is verifiability that the made made his mark and received recognition for his creative efforts. It does not matter if the stub does not show if he is dead or simply retired. It does not mater that the stub does not share personal information about the man. THOSE facts are not the assertions of notability. And stubs are always welcome... even if they may never be more than a stub. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 18:09, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I seem to have missed that he was notable 40 years ago. Which books speak of him? The article does not mention any. Bhattacharjee does not fulfil the first criterion of WP:ANYBIO because for all I can tell he neither won any awards nor was he nominated multiple times. Whether his work is "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record" is at best debatable when all we have are two decades-old film reviews. If that were to count, any director of every film which was reviewed would become notable, which is absurd. Could you please elaborate what books write about him and how he satisfies WP:ANYBIO? If you know sources not currently mentioned in the article, please add them. Huon (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sources were offered above and they need not BE in the article to show notability.... and as for Indian-language sources for a filmmaker whose works predated the internet by nearly half a century, I'll await input from editors more able than you or me to offer input on hardcopy sources for pre-internet Indian film notables. And even though we do have enough sources now, WP:NTEMP explains that sources do not have to remain forever available. Bhattacharjee and his works receiving more-than-trivial analysis and commentary even in existing media and books is enough evidence of a "widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record" for me. And available sources aside, is it your opinion, that an Indian filmmaker being nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival in 1964 would never have caught the attention of media in 1964 India? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I am 50/50 on this one right now but have asked for input from the India Project. Indian cinema is huge and a lot of people involved in it are not notable even though the films to which they are connected may be. On the other hand, I have a gut feeling that there are unplumbed depths here, in part precisely because the subject area is so big and there is a tendency of modern contributors to this sphere of India-related articles to concentrate on the stars of today rather than of yesteryear. Add to that the very significant issue of systemic bias in this area, I think that we should at least keep things in proportion until some people with more chance of doing some sourcing actually do take a look. If that means extending the usual AfD period by an additional few days then so be it. - Sitush (talk) 01:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for the reason of Systemic Bias. A director with a classic success and a Cannes entry is notable enough in Indian cinema. He has had such a hit, people will want to read about him. If he had neither the hit nor the Cannes nomination, one would unhesitatingly hurry to delete the article. Western standards of notability should not be applied to delete articles on Indian topics which are just about notable. AshLin (talk) 02:52, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Director of at least three notable movies (Mujhe Jeene Do, Jaal, Baazi), and assistant director of one of the most memorable movies of Hindi Film Industry (Do Bigha Zameen). --Dwaipayan (talk) 16:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Prod tag was removed after adding a single link to an article in a local weekly news mag more about allegedly being censored than any alleged noteworthy achievements.

- Keep, In Montreal, Quebec, and perhaps much of Canada, it would appear as though the most popular painting genre in terms of gallery sales/exhibition is mainstream decorative art. For the most part, abstract or landscape. Galleries that exhibit figurative works are few and far between, and in those, you'll most likely find more expressionist figurative works as opposed to, say, classic figurative realism. Gallery curators justifiably recognize that it's typically not a good business practice to exhibit works that antagonize or alienate their customer base. As such, they typically don't, and consequently, mainstream media doesn't go out of its way to promote controversial work that is not found for sale in mainstream galleries. After all, from a business perspective, what would be the upside? Many people are uncomfortable when confronted with criticism of their religion or collective behavior (politics). It turns them off. - Coming across contemporary realism expressing social commentary/criticism in the mainstream fine art world is rare. In Canada, perhaps even, non-existent. How many contemporary critical realists can you think of? The American painter Max Ginsburg is a good example but his works, however beautiful, are not overly controversial; certainly not to the extent that those who take offense to certain images or ideas would call (label) them offensive or disturbing. - Asking ourselves, does the article, James Miller (Painter), diminish the value of (or SPAM) Wikipedia? It's not clear to me that it does. - If one were to search for articles on contemporary social commentary/criticism in painting, might this article potentially be of any value? Would it be relevant? I believe it likely would be. - In that contentious, politically incorrect, not-for-profit artwork, regardless of workmanship, is not likely to be embraced or promoted by for-profit industry and media, how might we reasonably expect it to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion? - Would the intent of Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines truly be fulfilled by excluding this article? Not in my opinion.- Would Wikipedia, in excluding this article, effectively be brushing honest, perhaps insightful, social commentary under the rug, because ultimately, it's not profitable for the industry to promote or recognize it? Effectively, yes. - I believe that this article is an exception to the rule and should not be removed. Bokomaru (talk) 19:45, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Hard to do a Google search, since the name's so common; but trying his name (both as "James" and as "Jamie") in combination with various keywords from the article and the Montreal Review piece didn't yield any evidence of significant coverage by independent sources. My searches turned up his website and the MR article often enough to persuade me that if there was such coverage, I'd have found it. Fails WP:GNG. The criteria at WP:ARTIST seem even stricter; the subject definitely doesn't seem to meet them. Ammodramus (talk) 03:46, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete as WP:OR. No redirect is needed. Edison (talk) 21:32, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as original research or hoax. No reliable sources. Redirect to "tray" is unnecessary since it's a regular plural, and "trays" is not so commonly used that people would be inclined to search for the plural instead of the singular. Huon (talk) 21:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- The main problem with them is that he hasn't added any. A vague handwave "Oh there will be references" and name-checking a few web sites that cover the broad topic of gaming is not providing a reference for this topic, that demonstrates significant coverage of it.
- In particular, the only detail provided so far "it will be available in late 2011" is clearly both a fail of WP:CRYSTAL when it was added and is now simply obsolete. If this assumption turned out to be correct, then there should be reviews aplenty by now. There are none referenced here. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:31, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:V now that sources have been identified, it is not required to add them in terms of evaluating for notability (assuming there's agreement the sources are helping to assert notability). Yes, they should be added in time but doesn't need it this moment.
- Also, while yes, the game was planned to be released in 2011, and that hasn't happened, that doesn't mean there's a failing of CRYSTAL. The sources found point to a late 2011 release, but no source has seem to update that, so that's the best measure of when the game's release is. Since it is announced in that manner by reliable sources, it does not fail the CRYSTAL. --MASEM (t) 14:51, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree that this event was hardly as significant as other major tennis events, but it was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit and is counted on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) web site, which I included as a source when creating this article. Additionally, I created this article as part of the effort of fulfilling one of the goals of Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis, which is to "Create articles for every tennis tournament for male and female players, especially since the beginning of the Open Era, including yearly articles and draws." For these reasons, I feel that this article should be maintained. User:Alexk785 (talk)

Delete: The only WP:BAND criteria that the subject even comes within a mile of is "releasing two or more albums on an important indie label". While a couple of the other bands on Mental Ulcer Forges do have their own articles so are presumably notable (though that might need to be looked at...), it doesn't seem anything like enough for them to be considered a respected indie label. Given that the subject is German I suppose it is possible that there are some German language sources that aren't coming up in Google searches but absent any new info I can't see any reason to not delete it Robinr22 (talk) 18:06, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

She has been writing the “Trash Talk” column for the Toronto Star’s ‘yourhome.ca’ blog since approximately April 2009 (oldest Trash Talk article I found: http://www.yourhome.ca/homes/columnsblogs/article/622811--trash-talk-don-t-chuck-it-use-it). According to Jennifer Wilson, Editor of the Toronto Star, "Ellen Moorhouse is a professional journalist. . .

- Delete – I came to the same conclusions as the nominator. Essentially, this subject doesn't have in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Sources that I found include blogs (good for some information but shouldn't be the basis of notability), trivial coverage, and press releases, much in the way the article is currently sourced. The subject fails WP:ORG (WP:CORPDEPTH) and lacks WP:BASIC features of notability. JFHJr (㊟) 21:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep – The above call for deletion states that the article does not have: 1) in-depth coverage by 2) multiple reliable sources [that are] 3) independent of the subject. In addition, it states that the coverage is 4) trivial and [includes] 5) press releases.
- The coverage is “in-depth” -- In every article cited, ReUse Connection is the main topic and the activities of the site are described.
- The four sources cited above are very “reliable” (several have been used as sources for other Wikipedia articles) -- The articles cited were written for publications with journalistic integrity and by writers with a history of covering sustainability that are considered mavens in their fields.
- All sources cited are independent -- They are all 3rd parties and chose to write articles for their publications and their readers. You can verify that by emailing them. I actually reached out to the editorial department at the Toronto Starto verify the journalistic integrity of the article.
- The coverage is non-trivial -- I read the description under “depth of coverage” in notability guidelines and none of the sources cited are in the list of trivial sources. I have seen several approved references cited on Wikipedia where the entity is mentioned in passing (see Inhabitat), making it trivial. In ReUse Connection’s case, the articles were written about the website as journalism.
- Not a single source cited was a press release -- I am not sure where this claim came from. In fact, in all of my research, I have not found one press release issued by ReUse Connection.

- Comparing to other articles is not a rationale to keep. Actual, keeping isn't a matter of rationale, it is a matter of criteria. Having a long list of references is meaningless if they are blogs.

- Delete - The yourhome.ca is actually the Toronto Star newspaper, so it is a reliable source under editorial control. However, the other sources are bit more dubious.

KeepComment - Whpq, thank you for finally recognizing that the Toronto Star is a reliable source. I have spent 13 days trying to explain this to your fellow editors! The article has been slightly modified and proper references have been included (articles printed in the actual/printed magazines Natural Life and Political Themata [in Greek]).
- Natural Life has both printed and online versions of its magazine. Political Themata does not have an online presence but it featured a four-page article on ReUse Connection that originally sold on Greek newsstands and in Greek bookstores. The article was deemed reliable enough to be picked up and reprinted in a separate, online publication (independent of Political Themata), as referenced.
- If these, combined with the Toronto article and the many blog articles (there are probably 20 more I did not list) are insufficient to meet Wikipedia's criteria, then I raise the white flag. . . Ginalizardi (talk) 23:51, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - This is a tricky one, as it includes both a church and primary school. Since the article title relates to the church, not the primary school, a lower notability bar is called for, in my view. The copyvio aspect, if verified, would be cause for immediate deletion of the article, of course. However, it appears that the original history from which this piece may (or may not) have been originally pulled is now down. It would take some Time Machine detective work to provide such a diff. My own inclination is to let this one stand and move along. Carrite (talk) 17:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I have a feeling the sourcing can be found on this church and that is likely has historical significance. As part of a mass nomination of related articles I don't think this nomination should be given much weight as its unlikely much research into each item was done to determine the likelihood or sources or notability.LuciferWildCat (talk) 18:36, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The precedent about the elementary/middle schools doesn't mean we automatically delete them if they pop up without looking into it. It just means that they aren't generally given the benefit of the doubt like high schools are. the e/m schools have to prove real notability. Also, like stated above, this article is more about the church than the school. If it is part of simply a mass deletion nomination, I also am a little leery of that. However, that said, I am having trouble finding third-party sources that prove notability (or any historical significance as mentioned above) for either subject. Only apparent possible claim to notability for the school is its Blue Ribbon status. Will keep looking, but I'm leaning closer to saying merge. Definitely think it needs rescue with third-party sources. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 19:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just very minor, token punctuation changes, etc. I would consider that section COPYVIO, maybe not whole article though. Taking that section out as copyvio would lend even more weight to merge/redirect -- JoannaSerah (talk) 20:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete No sources have been provided to satisfy WP:ORG.

- Comment - I'm coming into this with an open mind. There has been enormously heavy tagging on this one, including simultaneous speedy and AfD flags and a laundry list of style offenses. That the article is a mess is beyond doubt; however, it does appear to be to work of a new editor who is TRYING to footnote correctly about what they believe to be an encyclopedic topic, which get's my DON'T BITE THE NEWCOMERS blood flowing a little. Is this a single purpose COI account? Perhaps. We'll let that lie for now. As to the basic question here, that of notability: HERE is voters guide biographical info. It is essentially a textbook example of self-sourced information, but it still remains the sort of declaration "under scrutiny or oath," if you will, that should be of potential use in BLP footnoting should this close a keep. Still looking... Carrite (talk) 17:25, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - As a losing candidate in a city council race, pretty clearly fails the special notability guidelines for a politician. Work as a comedian seems to have escaped significant published attention, and movie industry participation also seems to not rise to the level necessary for encyclopedic biography. Carrite (talk) 17:32, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Firstly, thank you to all those contributors who have helped clean up this submission for the John Carlino page. There are many stylistic problems with this submission but, as mentioned, it is a new submission by a newbie to Wikipedia, me. There are many persons on Wikipedia who, are or were, in the film and theatrical business. That John Carlino has well documented credits in film and theater both as an actor, writer, director and producer should satisfy any scrutiny. My hope is that monetary or popular achievement does not trump artistic achievement. I believe this submission is valid. John Carlino is an upstanding figure in Manhattan, NY film and theater and politics. The references do lean upon internet links yet many of the links referenced are actual publications. I believe as time goes on it will be much more common to have links to web based publications over brick and mortar (paper) publications. Thank you and hope all those who have contributed will consider keeping Mr. Carlino's page on Wikipedia. (talk) 05:48, 12 January 2012 (UTC) Nuance22 (talk) 05:26, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I can find no significant coverage about the subject that would satisfy Wikpededia's general inclusion criteria. As a politician, the relevant guideline for inclusion for that aspect of the subject's career would be WP:POLITICIAN. I do not see that any of the inclusion criteria from that guideline are met. His work in film and comedy would need to be evaluated against WP:ENTERTAINER as the most relevant guideline.

- My bad for missing that one of them was a blog. The advertisement pretty much verifies the existence of the institute which will get it quite some grounds for a 'keep' per WP:NHS and another site that is listed is one of the much referred sites for the education related information (atleast in Pakistan) and seems RS to me. The latest I added is surely a reliable newspaper(more than 70 years old) and does specifically mention the university but then again, general notability is pretty much covered in print media (which I do not have access to - so I should rather use 'highly likely' covered in print media). --lTopGunl (talk) 02:10, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, you need to consider its third paragraph: "However, this is not a loophole in Wikipedia's guidelines or policies. Like any other topic, articles on schools must be able to meet notability standards, such as those at Wikipedia: Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) specifically. Unreferenced material can and should be challenged up to and including removal from the article. Efforts are much better put into locating reliable sources about the school and improving the article based on those sources."

It is not clear whether this name of variation really exists, or whether it is just a name used locally in the Nederlands. Sources given are scarce and not enough to decide the name of a chess opening. SyG (talk) 09:46, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment For your information, it is already internationally used, and for example the New In Chess Yearbook and Chessvibes Openings already adapted this name. That you don't know the name, says more about your knowledge of chess opening theory. Twaburov — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twaburov (talk • contribs)
- As you mention below, New In Chess is a Dutch publication, and the author who used this name in ChessVibes is Dutch as well (besides, I would not consider ChessVibes as an authoritative source anyway). It would help if some, say, UK authors or russian authors (and I am not talking about russian-born authors who are living in Nederlands, of course) or US authors would use this name in publications.

- Comment The line 6... Nbd7 has been played since the 1950s, and also during the 60s, 70s (in conjunction with ... e5), 80s, and 90s. So why is the article seeming to imply the opening is under discussion/investigation as new?! Ihardlythinkso (talk) 13:12, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I would need a lot more convincing. The wording of the wiki article as it stands is plainly wrong. Looking at some random Petrosian games in the 50s and 60s (when both he and Polugaevsky played 6 ... Nbd7 a lot) I even found one where he used this flexible move order to play e5, rather than e6, so the idea is not new, exactly. The article writer on Chessvibes is unknown to me. Lennart Ootes ... not Dutch is he? ... and New In Chess ... well I know that's a Dutch publication. Is this what Twaburov means by "internationally used"? I would be much more keen to see how Ftacnik phrases it - does he speak in terms that confirm this 'international recognition' or not? Provide his quote and I will consider retracting.

- Comment It is true that Nbd7 have been played in the past, but after Kleijn-Kuling (Groningen 2007), it gain a lot of popularity. The reason of this was that Lody Kuling found a very good way to meet 7.f4. When Bitalzadeh played it against Pruijssers in Wijk aan Zee in 2009, Ivanchuk was staring at the opening position for a couple of minutes, and then used The Verbeterde List himself a few months later. After Shirov-Dominguez, Wijk aan Zee 2010, black had also a good way to meet 7.Bc4, and because of that even more players started playing it. I don't know what it takes to be accepted as a name on Wikipedia, but in my opinion it is deserved to be given this name, as since Lody Kuling came up with this idea, 6..Nbd7 became hugely popular. About the references I will be honest: Ftacnik recommends 6..Nbd7 in his Najdorf book, but doesn't mention the name The Verbeterde List. The article writer of Chessvibes was Merijn van Delft, he is Dutch. He discusses my game against Lars Ootes. He uses the name The Verbeterde List. Also Ufuk Tuncer (he is Turkish) used this name in New in Chess Yearbook 101. Also I have some international friends who call this opening The Verbeterde List. Again, I don't know what it takes to be accepted as a name on Wikipedia. Maybe it helps when I write a book about it.

- Comment. The name Verbeterde List is used in a caption in a Spanish text in this report in ChessBase News on a chess tournament played in Amsterdam: ... Lody Kulling, quien en 2008 jugó la variante Verbeterde List de la Najdorf por primerísima vez. I don't know whether ChessBase News counts as a reliable source. The author of this report, Lennart Ootes, is Dutch. --Lambiam 12:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Twaburov has been honest enough to admit that Ftacnik did not use the term 'Verbeterde List' in his book. Without that, we are left with ChessVibes and ChessBase articles by Lennart Ootes, not as far as I am aware, a journalistic heavyweight, and as a fellow Dutchman, someone who may lack the necessary objectivity. It's not just the name issue either, but also a concern as to whether the line itself merits its own independent setting, particularly as it is as old as the hills. I don't doubt that improved plans may have been found, but it is not Wikipedia's place to speculate on the credibility or prominence of opening lines based on the development of improved plans. I would personally wait for a good, reliable source to appear outside of the Netherlands. Brittle heaven (talk) 19:04, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Unfortunately all these are Dutch or Dutch-related sources. As long as only one country is giving an opening a certain name, it cannot really be taken as a definite fact. I would like to see top-players (and not Van Wely...) give this name to the opening, that would reinforce the credential. SyG (talk) 21:39, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article was deleted after an AFD in 2009. It was recently recreated but is substantially different to that version. Having read the sources in the article and looked for more myself, I do not think that the think tank has received sufficient significant secondary coverage for WP:GROUP to be met. The only coverage I can find is in news reports discussing what the institute has reported, rather than anything about the institute itself. While Julia Gillard evidently thinks that the think tank is important this is not the same as notable. Whatsmore, I can't find any evidence to suggest that the institute has had a significant impact on public policy in Australia, as might be expected if it had done so.

more an essay than an encyclopaedia entry. Title refers to genetic defects but the body of the article discusses non genetic defects. Disputed prod. noq (talk) 17:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 18:45, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep- The article itself doesn't even indicate that genetic defects among frogs hold any significance whatsoever and focuses on defects with environmental causes. I quote:
“ | The first frogs with these genetic defects were found in the August of 1995 in south and central Minisota [sic]. The herpetologists believed that these were not any inherited defects. | ” |
- Not any inherited defects. That's the exact opposite of genetic defects. However, there are many hits on Google Scholar for the phrase Frog "genetic defects", and although some only mention frogs in passing, several do indeed seem to refer to studies of genetic defects in frogs ([22], [23], [24]). The article does need to be rewritten from scratch, yes, but I think that some notability is established in the scholarly works. If later on in the discussion it is determined that the topic is not suitable for its own article, perhaps we could merge some good information into another page.

Weak delete. The subject is quite notable as pointed out above, but the current state of the article is completely unsalvageable. Pending a serious treatment of the topic, it should be deleted.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 19:25, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect/Rename. Even with Northamerica1000's improvements, it still needs a lot more work, a complete rewrite even with planned sections/subtopics. There are numerous unsourced and very likely misleading statements in the article. It needs to be globalized (first observed in Minnesota = dubious) and the things introduced in the lead discussed in the body of the article. The section on Prevention violates WP:NOTHOWTO, is unsourced, and honestly sounds like it was taken from a grade-schooler's lesson on environmental conservation in terms of the information it actually conveys (it's extremely vague). It should be removed. Our article on Ribeiroia ondatrae redlinks amphibian limb malformations which imho is the most accurate title it can have. "Frog" refers strictly to members of Ranidae and not to all amphibians as seems to be the case in the article text. Nevertheless, I am more in favor merging the salvageable parts into Decline in amphibian populations instead, with redirects to give it much better context.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 17:50, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - As for the merge+redirect proposal to give the article more context, I think it's perfectly sensible and I certainly would not be opposed to it if it were to happen. Chris the Paleontologist (talk | contribs) 02:26, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and improve – I've done significant work to the article, cleaned up grammar, spelling, etc. Environmentally-caused mutations may correspond to genetic defects in amphibian offspring, and the article is not really significantly off base at this time, per improvements. This article is now easily salvageable. Also, the sources provided above by User:Chris the Paleontologist can be used to expand the article.

- Merge material to more comprehensive articles. What the article is mainly talking about is "birth defects" in frogs. (Of course they are not really "born," but hatch and then metamorphize.) The issue of decline of amphibian populations and the extinction of species is a tremendiously notable and important topic. Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:32, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and improve The article is notable. The articles content is well referenced. It appears the title is inappropriate to the content given.

- Keep - unless there is some particular problem (vandalism?) that suggests the article is difficult to maintain, I see no harm in it. Normally I would agree that younger sons of Dukes are not inherently notable, but in this case he is the heir presumptive. Additionally, there has been an interesting challenge to the line of descent of this Dukedom based on an alleged faked death in the past. As DNA evidence has emerged recently (2010) it seems that there is a significant chance that something interesting may happen here. To hobbyist readers in this area, this is precisely the sort of thing that they turn to Wikipedia for - detailed information about people who would be difficult to research on your own.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 14:57, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Harmless -- We may want the article one day if he does outlive his brother. However, I do not like the presence of a succession box. It may be appropriate for the heirs of monarchs, but not for peers. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:59, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- But what has FitzGerald done to become notable in your opinion? He has served in the British Army - that doesn't make you notable. And would he be automatically notable if he succeeded in the dukedom - he would have no automatic seat in parliament. This would open up the floodgates - there are hundreds of heirs apparent and heirs presumptive that would then be considered notable. I suggest (as a compromise) that the material on FitzGerald is moved to the article on the dukedom. I also suggest that the material on the claim to the dukedom is moved to its own article. Tryde (talk) 07:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Then withdraw this AfD nomination, and let's move the contents. Since the American claimant is already mentioned in his brother's article, we don't need to move it. I'm not sure that they are notable enough for an article; they don't seem to have made anywhere near the progress of Arthur Orton, say. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:49, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't know if they're "substantive" content. When I referred to substantial content, though, I was referring to the actual text of the article, not the refs supporting that text. As there didn't appear to be anything substantial being said that wasn't already covered at Dave Trumfio, and as the relevant material at the destination article had its own refs, merging the Pulsars refs seemed unnecessary.

- The Brits have a seemingly inexhaustible appetite for photographs of celebs, most of whom seem delighted to be publicized. So the claim above that Dench has Made formal portraits of numerous notable people seems unremarkable, and the currently unsourced sentence Dench has made formal portraits of Tom Jones, Vinnie Jones, Heston Blumenthal, Freddie Flintoff, Alain Ducasse, Jamie Oliver, Vijay Mallya, Zöe Lucker, Tamsin Greig, Ahmet Ertegun, Alicia Silverstone and Dermot Desmond really doesn't seem worth inclusion. And I could make other quibbles besides. However, my quibbling-about-a-photographer-article energies are limited and are in demand elsewhere.

- Keep. Tribe certainly seems to exist, and at least one person managed to persuade a publisher that it was sufficiently notable to write a book about.

- Comment. Here's another source confirming existence as a "rebellious mountain tribe", but it hardly seems significant coverage. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:45, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect as above. There is continuum that goes something like "family" – "clan" – "tribe" – "ethnic group" – "nation" (with, in South Asia, a side order of "caste"), and somewhere along that line lies a point where we can assume notability. The problem is that the words used can be very vague, with "tribe" covering anything from a few hundred people to many millions. I think we need a little more information to confirm where this group lies on that spectrum before entertaining a separate article. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Size is irrelevant. What counts is the degree of autonomy. Can't definitely tell without the actual sources in hand, but if the nearest higher subdivision is the Sindhi, I think this is sufficiently independently notable in its own right. DGG ( talk ) 05:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi DGG. I'm not sure I see the independent RS support for its notability. And if we cannot see that with the sources in hand, I'm not sure on what basis we keep it within our notability guideline.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:53, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep If some of the sources mentioned above are added, I don't see why this shouldn't exist as a stub. There is at least some verification the tribe exists. Mar4d (talk) 15:47, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Mar. A couple of points, which actually cut in opposite directions. First -- if the appropriate RS material exists, it is not even necessary for them to be added to the article in order to tender a proper keep !vote ... their existence is sufficient (though it is of course very nice, and helpful, for them to be added to the article). So when you make such !votes, you need not qualify them by suggesting that they are contingent on the refs being added. I know -- it is certainly not intuitive, and may not be how you and I would have viewed the issue, but that is the consensus approach at the moment.
- As to your second point, most topics on wp must meet our general notability guideline (GNG) or some more subject-focused notability guideline. As a general matter -- with some exceptions -- the mere existence of "x" is not sufficient for it to be considered sufficiently notable to have a stand-alone article. See our guideline WP:NRVE ("No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists"). I'm not aware that the category "tribes" is an exception to this rule, though I'm happy to hear from others if there is a rule I'm not familiar with. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. There's a whole book written about it, and I have my suspicions that the reason we're not finding more sources is that they are hard to find, not that they don't exist. I think we can presume that if something has been the subject of a whole book, at least some other things are written about it, or even rehash the information in the book. Much might not be in English though. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:17, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There is a book. But -- judging from what we can see -- it appears to be akin to a self-published autobiography. I'm not sure our notability policies and in particular our verifiability policies suggest that where we have such items, we presume the existence of substantial RS coverage, where sources are hard to find. IMHO, of course.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:42, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This venue is for discussions about deleting article (articles for deletion) and is the wrong place for discussing articles we agree should be kept in one form or another (merge, redirect etc.).

So, I think that sort of implies that discussion as to which of the courses to take is appropriate. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- We have merger tags and discussions for a reason. One of those would've been better. The AFD says at the top "Before listing an article for deletion here, consider whether a more efficient alternative is appropriate:" And list among other things "For a potentially controversial merger, consider listing it at proposed mergers." Anyway, its here now, so it can be dealt with here. Dream Focus 07:51, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that if nom's only -- or perhaps even nom's primary -- suggestion were merger, that tagging for merger (or, I'm told, effecting it if the matter is clear) would be the best course. If nom's primary view is that deletion is best (as above), however, that would not suffice, and he would be forced to seek deletion (e.g., at AfD).

- Once at AfD, the ensuing discussion allows consideration of alternatives, as the guideline indicates that one of the alternatives (keep, merge, redirect, transwikie, rename/move, userfy, or delete) will be the close. As I understand it.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:17, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The nom's sole argument for deletion is moot as it's no longer an un-sourced BLP violation. The coverage of this person in the sources provided by Northamerica1000 demonstrate easily passing WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Redirecting would be incorrect as the existing content about this person outside of Automatic Loveletter would be off-topic in that article. --Oakshade (talk) 06:36, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Don't delete/merge/redirect it. Keep it. The article SENSATIONAL SIMMS SIBLINGS in the St. Petersburg Times, even though you can only read part of it, is clearly all about her. With coverage like that, she meets GNG. Anyone who clicks on the Google news archive search link at the top of the AFD, would find interviews with her straight away. Always follow WP:BEFORE.

- Merge (which even nom is open to) or Keep. Sufficient RS coverage exists that this should not be a delete. It does still have serious BLP issues (e.g., the tagged unreferenced statement as to who her boyfriend is), and whatever the result that (and other unreferenced material, which is at the moment the bulk of the article) should IMHO be fair game for excision. AfD of course is not for cleanup, but that doesn't prevent us from deleting unreferenced information (especially in BLPs) when we see it.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Yes they can but they haven't. Your book sources aren't impressive--they are local publications that couldn't count toward notability. As for the award you found--that's a local award handed out by Islip (town), New York, which is hardly a viable claim to fame. The Firefighter Nation, I don't know what kind of a publication that is, and the article is here--where it is mentioned one single time and nothing of significance is said; moreover, it's written by someone from that department (note the first person plural).

AfDs[edit]Hey. I'm going to skip all the formalities since you've clearly discussed issues like this with users before. AfD !votes like this one are absurd, incorrect, and quite frankly disruptive.

Thanks.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply] I take great offense to that. You have chosen very disrespectful language and the only absurd or disruptive thing that I see here is your message. If you don't like the fact that I voted keep for something, tough noogies. You get your say I get mine, leave it at that. And every police department article or fire department article I have ever worked on was easy to find a buttload of references for it, so that is why it is reasonable to expect them to have sources and meet the GNG. Also it is very inappropriate to drag an AfD discussion to my talk page, please don't do so.

- Delete - or slightly possible merge to the locality in the amenities section. All fire brigades cannot be inherently notable. Some, in remote areas, consist of a sole rusting fire engine that has not fought a fire in years, and has probably only been used for rescuing cats from trees or filling private swimming pools. Mentions in the local press are as routine as any haystack fire, car crash, or kids with their heads stuck in the schoolyard railings. Notability would be asserted by exceptional state or national awards for valour of such importance as their involvement, just for example, in 9/11.

- Keep Google news archive search for their name without the word "volunteer" and you get a lot more results. [67] They don't just get local coverage either. Daily News (New York), FireFighting News, Newsday, Long Island Business News, etc. Note that New York city has over 8 million people in it, so its not considered local coverage if you get covered in a different section of it. The activity of this fire department and its members, does get coverage. Dream Focus 20:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Those are passing mentions of the fire department in larger news coverage about fire incidents. Nothing there demonstrates the notability of this subject. Remember that this isn't a game of find the Google hits.

That seems to be the case here.--RadioFan (talk) 20:54, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's a misrepresentation, the articles are talking about the fire department too, in fact all of them cover the department, only each one covers its individual fire.

- The point that RF is making is that fires always get news coverage, even if the fat went up in flames in the local fish 'n chip shop. By the same token, we would have to accord notability to every 2-man police station because the local newspaper gives a couple of lines every time they use their blue light and siren. In some villages with more than three pubs, that could be once every evening, or 365 mentions a year for your Google hits. If the reliable local paper happens to one for a big city, it doesn't make the cops more significant or the column filler more important. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:24, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your right every station doesn't warrant coverage, but every department does, especially when sources are apparent.

Merge and redirect(see comment on timing of nom below) Actually, appearing in a national chart is evidence of notability (WP:NSONG) though not in itself proof.

- Keep for the time being. Whereas I agree with the nominator that there are too many articles that merely say 'song,' 'artist,' and 'chart position,' and little else, I find it hard to assume good faith in this nomination when probably 90% of song articles at Wikipedia are of similar "notability" which are not being nominated, yet this newly created article gets nominated before the proverbial ink is dry. Let's leave the article for the time being, put a notability tag on it and let the creator establish notability, some reviews perhaps? It would be good if the nomination was withdrawn at this stage. --Richhoncho (talk) 15:21, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: I've expanded it to include Swedish radio chart position and critical review comments, hopefully this helps towards it's notability. Mattg82 (talk) 19:15, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This band in particular has many single track articles, including Solsken, En sten vid en sjö i en skog/Tuffa tider (för en drömmare), Juni, juli, augusti, and an extended play entitled Gyllene Tider EP. To say that this article and these others listed qualify as 'encyclopedic' may infact be a stretch, however I would really only support an articles deletion after three minutes in the case of a WP:SPEEDY. I also applaud Mattg82 for his composure in relation to this nomination, and his futher improvements to the article during this discussion. Stubbleboy 16:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep After all the improvements I've made, I now feel confident enough to say that this should now be kept. The song is part of what was a massive album in Sweden, and therefore has received coverage in multiple reliable sources. The song also charted on both the Swedish Singles Chart and Svensktoppen, which is a well know radio chart in Sweden.
- I will improve the other articles on singles from the album and the album itself over the coming days. Mattg82 (talk) 22:00, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a non-notable footballer and doesn't satisfy WP:GNG. It technically passes WP:NSPORTS because Chiappa made exactly one appearance in Italy's Serie C2 during his brief career. However, the article was created in October 2007 and the only WP:RS I can find covering this individual is a San Marino Calcio season preview where Chiappa gets mentioned once.

- Keep although this may be a minority viewpoint I believe that the deletionists are being foolhardy in their blind opposition to schools articles. Every school office I have been to has dozens of newspaper articles about the school framed on the wall. This clearly meets GNG as they are multiple non-trivial sources. Therefore based on NRVE the only decision should be keep. Some schools are lucky enough to have these sources on google news but many older and in fact more historically notable ones do not and that is a shame. Microfilm is just as important. Based on this experience it should be clear that all schools are notable. Also at the very least this school should be merged into the relevant diocesan article, not deleted outright. This preserves the edit history for when sources are found. It should also be noted that this is part of a mass nomination and that should be frowned upon by the community as it shows there was unlikely a committed effort to find proper sources before nomination. I don't think even a PROD was tried first here. =(LuciferWildCat (talk) 19:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I appreciate you view that all schools are notable, but your comment "his school should be merged into the relevant diocesan article" obviously belongs to another deletion discussion. This nomination has nothing to do with deletionism. Your idea that "all schools are notable" clearly does not have community support on Wikipedia, so you need to demonstrate that this school is notable. StAnselm (talk) 01:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, that view is nothing but a view, first of all, and it's out of step with our practices. Second, they've pasted this all over the place willy-nilly, which at the very least is ironic given their unproven and accusatory claim that "there was unlikely a committed effort to find proper sources before nomination." Pot, kettle calling. Drmies (talk) 02:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I appreciate you view that all schools are notable, but your comment "his school should be merged into the relevant diocesan article" obviously belongs to another deletion discussion. This nomination has nothing to do with deletionism. Your idea that "all schools are notable" clearly does not have community support on Wikipedia, so you need to demonstrate that this school is notable.

- Delete--nothing worth noting here, and nothing is properly verified. Such schools are not inherently notable (despite the "Outcomes" referenced above), and this one certainly doesn't pass the GNG. Drmies (talk) 02:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - a dead link makes me worry that this can't be verified. Bearian (talk) 21:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Port forwarding. --Lambiam 13:09, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non-notable. Reason why this is notable is not stated, nor could I find any reason to grant notability. Article is unreferenced. A quick google returns little beyond forums (often talking about "port forwarding" on a PC rather than this software) and download sites. Pit-yacker (talk) 14:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- But isn't the article title a reasonable search term? PC-Port-Forwarding is currently mentioned in our article Port forwarding, so the latter is a good redirect target. --Lambiam 00:30, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure it is a reasonable search term. Perhaps PC port fowarding might be useful as a re-direct. However, I dont see the need for all the hyphens used in PC-Port-Forwarding - it would almost certainly require an immediate move to PC port fowarding. The only point "PC" is mentioned in Port forwarding is a link to this article. As for whether PC-Port-Forwarding is mentioned in port forwarding, I'm inclined to suggest the article shouldn't be a directory of software to do this - and the section in question should be removed.

- Delete unreferenced software article, no indication of notability. As above, the name with dashes is not likely to be a search term. Dialectric (talk) 23:05, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
