The result was Delete and redirect to Fantasy prone personality. Randykitty (talk) 16:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overactive imagination[edit]

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

This is simply a common English phrase, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. An AfD for Overactive Imagination (the formal, capitalized term) resulted in a redirect to Fantasy prone personality, but I don't see a verifiable basis for that, so do not suggest it for the uncapitalized form either. Agyle (talk) 23:27, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Since other one already links there, maybe it would be best to just redirect it, even if it's not the best outcome? It would be kind of odd to only have one variation of a phrase redirect somewhere. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:32, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Fantasy prone personality per Wikipedia is not a dictionary. As NinjaRobotPirate says, it would be odd to only have a redirect for the upper case version. Overactive Imagination is also the alternative lede title of the Fantasy article so it is logical. Philg88 ^♦talk 07:08, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see the rationale for a redirect; my opposition is because Overactive Imagination seems to be a made-up psychology term coined by a first-day Wikipedia editor a week or two ago. Including typo redirects of made-up terms just seems to be compounding Wikipedia inaccuracies. Agyle (talk) 18:42, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can guarantee it isn't a term "coined" by someone a week or two ago. There are many online forums and blogs that refer to people suffering an "overactive imagination", usually as a symptom of some actually-recognised disorder or in the context of the non-medical Overactive Imagination Disorder (OID) which a great many people (alarmingly) seem to have diagnosed themselves as having. It makes sense for us to have the title redirected as suggested above but it certainly shouldn't have its own article. Would suggest that Over-active imagination (a common alternate with hyphenation) also be created and redirected. Stalwart111 00:38, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I consider discussion of overactive imaginations as different from discussion of Overactive Imagination (capitalized); and the authors of the separate Wikipedia articles about them seemed to agree. Though I admit I did not survey blogs and internet forums, and it does seem almost likely that people outside academia have used the term before. I'm not even ruling out the possibility that it occurs in scientific literature, but no references have been cited. Agyle (talk) 03:38, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's certainly possible and I didn't trawl them all to determine if the mentions were capitalised or not - all were unreliable sources anyway, so doing as much would be pointless. I think we're pretty much on the same page. Stalwart111 05:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that you (@Agyle:) read this: Fantasy proneness is a trait that can be equated with having an "overactive imagination". Byrd, Jonathan S. (2003), "Creative genius or psychotic? A look at the strong positive correlation between creativity and psychoses", Monitor on Psychology. --Bejnar (talk) 00:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bejnar, no, your assumption was wrong. I also don't believe that was published in Monitor on Psychology; volume/issue? The link at the top of the cited page says "Readers should remember that these are papers by students, not psychologists," and the page in question has "peer commentary" from other students, with a followup response from the author. I would not consider that a reliable source. Agyle (talk) 01:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above. Stalwart111 00:38, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above. See cite to Byrd 2003 above. --Bejnar (talk) 00:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As per my reply above, that seems to be a student paper, not a reliable source. Agyle (talk) 01:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a student paper, but you cannot deny that it was peer reviewed. I stand by my analysis that the best outcome for Wikipedia is to redirect this, rather than delete. If nothing else, that might help stave off re-creation. --Bejnar (talk) 02:58, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Memoria Pichilemina[edit]

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

Article about small-town history web-page created 1 year ago by Wikipedia user:Diego Grez (aka. Kuñall and MisterWiki). No evidence of notability (WP:N) except one-time mention in a few local newspapers. (this might also possibly be a case of WP:COI, but lets discuss relevance here first). Sietecolores (talk) 20:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This nomination was incorrectly formatted. I have reformatted the nomination using {{Afd2}}. Mz7 (talk) 20:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - @Sietecolores: - I'm a tad confused. User:Acalycine created this page, no? NickCT (talk) 20:55, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes User:Acalycine created the page, but did so apparently on Diego Grez's (Kuñall) suggestion. Sietecolores (talk) 20:59, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the CoI seems to be irrelevant here. Suggesting an article to be created by others via WP:Requested articles is precisely what we suggest editors with a CoI do. Although Diego Grez may have suggested it, he never edited the page. Huon (talk) 21:16, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The nominator has already made clear I am related to the article's subject, I founded the website, and so I am not voting in this discussion, to avoid COI accusations. However, I think that the website satisfies the web content notability guideline. Why? It conforms to the policy on verifiability to reliable sources, yes, it does. There are two major sources in the article, the recent articles of El Expreso de la Costa and La Voz de la Región. Both news articles are one-page-long, they are not simple "mentions". We do have other articles on local Chilean websites too, like WikiLosRíos, for example. To finish, it's important to mention I'm not even making money out of the website, it's non commercial and its content is released under a libre license. This will be my sole comment, because I don't really want a COI outcry, it's the least thing I would like to experience here on Wikipedia now. Küñall (talk) 21:21, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Verifiability and one-time mention by tiny-local newspaper (I suppose now in good faith that Diego Grez has no connection with people from Pichilemu News or El Expreso de la Costa, albiet that is difficult in such small town) does makes Diego Grez's website notable. For that to happen it should have perhaps one of these..: 1) recieved some national/international recognition/prize, 2) be mentioned more than 1 time by a large national newspaper, 3) considerable traffic. Sietecolores (talk) 22:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It does not say anywhere in the notability guidelines that a website has got to be mentioned more than 1 time by a large national newspaper for it to be qualified for a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia:Notability_(web)#Criteria states notability for web-based content is "based on meeting one of the following criteria":
  - "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations"
- It complies with that criteria. There are two in-depth articles on the website, it passes the guideline. Küñall (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC) (By the way, this will be my actual last comment here.)[reply]

Kuñall/Diego Grez, it does not complies with the criteria because its lacks significant coverage (WP:N) and you should refrein from making further comments because of WP:COI. Sietecolores (talk) 13:24, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note. I have removed material relating to the founder from the article - if the website is notable, it is for the content, not the founder, and I can see no justification whatsoever for such off-topic detail. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:33, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The material you deleted contained information that showed that the founder/owner/administrator Kuñall works at one of the newspapers used to "establish coverage" (a clear case of WP:COI). Besides that I insists in that coverage is not large enought, no large nationwide newspaper has covered mentioned Memoria Pichilemina, and the local newspapers have done so only once. Memoria Pichilemina has also not recived any significant recognition or prize. Sietecolores (talk) 23:45, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly, there appears to be a clear COI - as I have made clear at the thread on the noticeboard. It isn't however necessary to retain off-topic material in the article to demonstrate this, as it is all visible in the history. As for whether the article (minus the off-topic material) deserves deletion, I've so far voiced no opinion either way, and should probably avoid doing so, given my previous interactions with Kuñall. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:54, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources are local press only and therefore insufficient to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG. ukexpat (talk) 14:43, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Coverage not enough coverage. Only local newspapapers (connected to the owner adn creator Kunall). Website locks significant recognition or prize. Sietecolores (talk) 14:41, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Since you nominated this article for deletion, it's unnecessary that you vote. I do write for El Expreso... but I have no relation to La Voz de la Región, which is published by a company from San Fernando. Küñall (talk) 15:31, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska[edit]

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

I merged this newly-created list into Community gardens in Nebraska, but it has been recreated by its creator as a stand-alone article. There is insufficient content to justify two articles. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:54, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Change to List - Seems to me that this article might survive as something like List of community gardens in Portland, Oregon. Seems so trivial though, and I'm having trouble seeing the references. Deletion wouldn't be bad either. NickCT (talk) 19:13, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well it was just started. The Portland list has been referenced as a model already, at Talk:Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska. Notability of a list has already been established by discussion and references provided at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dundee Community Garden. Give it some time here. --doncram 22:52, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The Portland list isn't a good example of how this should progress: two years after it was started, one entry is sourced to Facebook, another to a dead link on a site probably associated with the garden, and the rest to one source, a directory, and there's no lead section or any prose outside of the list entries. Peter James (talk) 23:04, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - If anything, that AfD decided that the list should be at Community gardens in Nebraska. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:20, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - User:Pigsonthewing, in fact, that is NOT what was "decided" in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dundee Community Garden. You can still clearly see that there are two comments there for Merge; one for Nebraska, and the second one for Omaha, which also highlighted that the list does not contain a single garden in Nebraska that isn't in Omaha. And, the second one is actually from the same User: Ammodramus who, one hour after suggesting the Nebraska list, changed their position to support the Omaha list. You seem to have a habit of just saying that things happen or are decided in these discussions that back up what your opinion, rather than what actually occurs. There was no poll that tabulated all the votes in that discussion. That AfD didn't "decide" anything so clearly as you try to make it sound. If you think that the List for Nebraska should superseded the List for Omaha, please, in one of these discussions somewhere, give a reason. And preferably, make edits to the appropriate article with references. ScottHW (talk) 08:13, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - The closing admin's statement, in full was: "The result was merge to Community gardens in Nebraska". Note that it was not "The result was merge to Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska". Your allegation of "just saying that things happen or are decided in these discussions that back up what your opinion, rather than what actually occurs" is a baseless and unacceptable slur, which you should retract. As I've said to you elsewhere (and as people can decide here, if they wish), feel free to propose moving Community gardens in Nebraska to Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska. There is still no need for two articles. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:45, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        I won't be retracting what I said. I will acknowledge that User:Number_57 did cite that as the when they decided to close the AfD. This was a mistake of oversight, probably because the Admin was not actually involved in the discussion, read through quickly, and then acted. I will reiterate that if you spend 30 seconds and read the AfD, you will see two comments tagged as supporting Merge. They were both from User: Ammodramus. The first suggested merging to a Nebraska list, and then, 3 hrs later, based on the discussion including a lengthy list of provided references, User: Ammodramus voiced support for merging to an Omaha list. It seems that Admin User:Number_57 missed this when they acted to close the AfD.ScottHW (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        User:ScottHW, you've completely misstated my position, and I'll urge you to go back and re-read the AfD. My initial !vote was for deletion of the Dundee Community Gardens article, on grounds of non-notability. Later in the course of the discussion, User:Candleabracadabra suggested that the DCG article be merged to Community gardens in Nebraska, which s/he'd just created. I responded to this suggestion by questioning the notability of "CG in N", based on the paucity of sources in the article. Candle responded by coming up with an expanded set of sources, all of them related to CGs in Omaha. At this point, I changed my !vote to support the merge, with the suggestion that Candle's target article be moved to "Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska", which at the time was a redlink—the list article of that name was created about five hours after my !vote. At no point did I ever support the merge of the DCG article with any list article. Ammodramus (talk) 18:36, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        To Ammodramus: Do you just mean that you did not support a "list-article". I think that is a technicality. It is natural for any "Community gardening in AREA" type of article to include a list, whether it does yet or not, and it is fine for a list-article to have title not including the word "List". The nation-level article includes a section "By state" which is a list of states. I think that any Nebraska state-level article is going to have a list-section. So I think you might be making a distinction, that you technically did not support merger to any list-article, when ScottHW was correctly citing you as supporting merger to the Omaha article which he sees as a list-article. I haven't thoroughly checked, but perhaps ScottHW's quote that you object to was a slight misquote, as he was not seeing a distinction between an Omaha article vs. an Omaha list-article. Hopefully this was just a misunderstanding on that fine point, as I don't believe ScottHW was deliberately trying to misconstrue anything. --do ncr am 17:09, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As I described in detail on the Talk:Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska page, merging a list of Omaha gardens into a Nebraska gardens entirely misses the point of Community gardening. Omaha has a vibrant group of community gardens which are interrelated and work together e.g. Tour de Gardens bike tour. A list of other gardens hundreds of miles away doesn't contribute to encyclopedic knowledge in any way, and obscures the significance of a community in community gardening. In response to User:Pigsonthewing's comment "insufficient content to justify two articles", the article that should be kept is the one that is actively being developed by a number of editors, the article about community gardening in Omaha. At no time has any editing whatsoever been done to a list of garden across the entire state, other than the creation of the page in response to the AfD discussion of the now-defunct Dundee Community Garden article. - - - ScottHW (talk) 20:09, 27 May 2014 (UTC) - - -[reply]
- Those editors can just as easily work at Community gardens in Nebraska. The community that purportedly exists in Omaha is of no consequence here; it's not Wikipedia's job to foster or promote that; and we can describe it just as well in the more widely-focussed article.

  - User:Pigsonthewing By your logic that a "more widely-focused article" is the best decision, why not have a List of Community gardens in the United States of America, or a List of Community gardens on Earth for that matter. I, along with several other editors, have consistently stated that we will write a coherent article about community gardens in Omaha, about the community of community gardens in Omaha. You have still, in any of these discussions, not provided any reason whatsoever that a broader article would have any benefits over a more focused article. ScottHW (talk) 15:59, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - But you haven't written such an article, have you? We're discussing what has been written, not what might be. My argument is that we don't need two articles, and I have made a case for that. I'm still waiting for the citations I requested from you earlier, BTW. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:14, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - I definitely have started writing that article. I think you need more practice using your computer machine... Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska was started by me, then edited by User:Download and User:Doncram, and then immediately Merged... by YOU! With no discussion. That rapidly descended into an Edit War, for which you were blocked. I'm surprised you don't remember that happening. It was yesterday, and you had to request an unblock. ScottHW (talk) 16:40, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge with Community gardens in Nebraska. Article is nothing but a chart. Doesn't matter how many people care deeply about it, WP:GNG is the guideline here. Community gardening is great and all that but seriously? Two lists? Naah. Montanabw ^(talk) 20:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and Call for immediate administrative closure. There's no need for AFD attention. A proposal to merge was previously opened, and is ongoing, at Talk:Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska#Merger proposal. It was proposed by User:Gilliam in this notice calling for discussion and linking to where the discussion should happen. The current AFD nominator since removed the notice, and has since also commented at the discussion. This was all discussed also at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Pigsonthewing reported by Doncram (Result: Both blocked for 48 hours). The current AFD nominator was participating in the 3RR discussion at 18:06, and opened this AFD at 18:54, before being blocked. He was unblocked on basis that he "promised not to engage in further disruption," but had opened this AFD already. This AFD should just be closed.
Seriously, there is no need for far-away editors to apply attention here, it is just extending dramah. Let the editor(s) developing content on community gardens do what they want to do, and they will make sensible decision to merge in due time, if there is not sufficiently different material for two lists. If anyone wants to butt in, do contribute to the article, and/or comment at the ongoing merger proposal, a less confrontational medium than AFD. Assume good faith and some competence on the part of the productive editor(s). --doncram 22:41, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- And you were the other blocked editor. If you wish to assert that this AfD is disruptive, take the matter to ANI; otherwise you should strike your false allegations here. And do explain the significance and meaning of "far-away editors". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:23, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - "False allegations"? And you surmise something untoward from my use of "faraway" term? Not faraway = editor ScottHW, who I perceive to be local, and Ammodramus who takes pics in Nebraska and offers at ScottHW't talk along those lines, and anyone else with balance of relevant local knowledge, interest, access to news sources that faraway editors don't have as easily. Faraway = everyone else, including me. Let's not personally battle; I don't expect to comment more here. --doncram 00:21, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, Doncram, "false allegations", because you clearly can't substantiate them. And from your further comments, about "far-away editors" I now surmise that you believe that this matter only "needs" to be discussed by those who are geographically local to its subject. Wikipedia has a number of policies about that, not east WP:OWN. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 00:27, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - User:doncram is correct, I do live in Omaha. I have been to the community gardens I write about, many times. And I have used the "primary daily newspaper of Nebraska" as a reference. "Far-away" are editors like User:Pigsonthewing, who, from literally the other side of the planet, state that the newspaper is not "Reliable", and/or is not sufficient to connote "Notability". We can't all live in Manhattan and have The New Yorker write about the subjects of articles we are trying to write. But after 129 years, the Omaha World Herald is qualified to verify facts like what year a community garden was founded. If you feel otherwise, you should give real justification, rather than just hurl belittling comments across the ocean. You're entitled to your Opinion about whether the List of Community Gardens should be drawn from the Omaha community, or from across all of Nebraska. But for Merge/Delete decisions, you're going to need to demonstrate more than your Opinion. ScottHW (talk) 01:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Please provide a citation for me saying that a newspaper is not reliable in this issue; or retract that statement. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:45, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Pigs Citations: You literally are on the other side of the planet. (source: User:Pigsonthewing) You began the AfD process on the Dundee Community Garden article I wrote, citing Notability as your criticism. (source: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dundee Community Garden. As that discussion continued, numerous independent references were added to the article, including references from the Omaha World Herald newspaper. (source: [Dundee Community Garden:Revision history] After starting the AfD process, you took no further part in the discussion, even though your Notability concerns were addressed with newspaper references. That is an implicit statement that the newspaper references were not worthy of Notability. Other editors directly stated that the OWH newspaper was unworthy of connoting Notability, or criticized the Reliability, which is why my statement was "editors like User:Pigsonthewing". ScottHW (talk) 17:04, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Neither my name nor user name are "Pigs". I asked you to cite your claim that I had stated 'that the newspaper is not "Reliable"' (the inner quote marks are yours). You haven't, and can't. Your claim was again bogus. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:40, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now, it's a new article that's still being edited and not obviously inappropriate or of a type usually deleted. Discussion can continue on the talk page(s). Peter James (talk) 23:08, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It may be a new article, but it's an unnecessary one, when we already have Community gardens in Nebraska. Why does that not suffice? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:21, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The article Community gardens in Nebraska only exists as a response to a suggestion from the AfD discussion about Dundee Community Garden. It was created, with no content, at approximately the same time as I created the more appropriate Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska, which actually represents a "community" of gardens. Every bit of the content on the Nebraska article was poached from the already-merged Dundee Community Garden article, and from the description (with sources), and the List, that I I put into the Omaha article, User:Pigsonthewing, I don't get what your deal is with this whole string of discussions, Deleting and Merging the articles that editors are actively trying to develop. If you don't want overlapping articles, then just allow the Nebraska article to be closed; no one wrote ANY content for it. I am actively developing the Omaha list, why should that one be the one to be closed?? ScottHW (talk) 01:12, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, both articles were created recently, and in short space of time. That is not in dispute. However, we only need - if we need any - one. As for your allegation of "poaching", perhaps you ought to re-read the licence terms which you and everyone else agrees to when uploading content to Wikipedia. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:45, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - In this case, "poaching" did not refer to anything to do with the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license with which I am well familiar. I am highlighting that only one of these two articles (the Omaha list) is actively being written with content, including references. The other (the Nebraska list) is merely a copy. That meaning, and the fact it highlights should be perfectly clear... because I directly said it in my comment: "It [the Nebraska list] was created, with no content...", and the fact of this matter is clear by simply looking back through the history of the Nebraska list article. I do recognize that I understated the content; the original article had two sentences, one of which was factually incorrect and used a poorly formatted reference, and the other which was copied from what had originally been written for Dundee Community Garden. Within 10 minutes, the article had been edited to include a third sentence, which was also factually incorrect (about USDA funding). For a Merge target article, into which all of the content from the Dundee Community Garden article (which was 6011kb and had represented 11 references) was ostensibly to be merged, that seemed very close to "no content". I stand by my description. User:Pigsonthewing Why are you so insistent on the copy being the article that is kept, and the original article being merged into it?? ScottHW (talk) 16:33, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Earlier on, I said to you "As I've said to you elsewhere (and as people can decide here, if they wish), feel free to propose moving Community gardens in Nebraska to Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska. There is still no need for two articles. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:45, 28 May 2014 (UTC)". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:41, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Yep, after which time I proposed Community gardens in Nebraska be merged. You'll clearly see that at the top of the article. If you're having trouble, it's a rectangular box with a little purple flag, and a red and a blue arrow pointed at one another. My question remains: why are you so insistent that the Nebraska article be kept? Without an actual reason to support your position of favoring the Nebraska article over the Omaha article, I expect you to join that Merge discussion I started and support that the Nebraska article be merged into the Omaha article, which would clearly address your repeated critique of not having two articles. And also to relent in your Melvillian attacks on this list article. ScottHW (talk) 17:12, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Community gardens in Nebraska. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:11, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support merging that article to Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska (or at least moving it if they are merged as you propose), only because the creator and main editor of Community gardens in Nebraska has been blocked as a sockpuppet, also as all content is specific to Omaha. Obviously "Community gardens in Nebraska" wouldn't be a suitable redirect and would have to be moved to a more suitable redirect title such as "Community gardens in Omaha". Peter James (talk) 12:13, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Community gardens in Nebraska has multiple authors, so the original creator being a sock is not an issue here. And if that article is moved or merged, then of course the current name should be kept as a redirect. Others might be created, but we're not limited to just one. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - "Nebraska" alone would be misleading for an article limited to Omaha, so a redirect wouldn't be appropriate. Editors more involved in that part of the encyclopedia appear to prefer the Omaha article. Peter James (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - The Omaha article should be merged into the Nebraska one and then the redirect will go - appropriately - from city to state. Montanabw ^(talk) 18:05, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge material from this article into Community gardens in Nebraska, then move Community gardens in Nebraska to this title. The Nebraska article contains only material about CGs in Omaha, and its creator hasn't supplied any sources addressing CGs outside of Omaha, so the Omaha title is more appropriate. As of this writing, the Nebraska article contains all of the information in the Omaha article, so the merge step is already done; it remains only to move that article to this more suitable title, eliminating the current duplication.

- Since you wrote that, the article has acquired a section on Lincoln, Nebraska. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:06, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, editor RexxS who self-identifies as living in the West Midlands, England, has helpfully added some information on community gardens in Lincoln, sourced to "Community CROPS", which is an organization that coordinates community gardens in Lincoln. There is no source in the Nebraska article that supports anything about community gardening at the state level. RexxS changed the lede, making it appear to have a state-level source, but that source is merely a Google-UK search. The lede currently reads: "There are numerous community gardens in the U.S. state of Nebraska, mainly clustered around the principal cities of Omaha and Lincoln.^[1]

^ "community gardens in Nebraska". Google Search. Retrieved 28 May 2014.

I don't think that adequately supports the state-level article. --do ncr am 16:57, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Community gardens in Nebraska. Lincoln has community gardens as well and there may be others. It seems sensible to have a single decent-sized state-wide article, rather than a collection of small city articles. A broader scope will attract more editors and there's no reason why those mainly interested in Omaha shouldn't edit that section, rather than a stand-alone article. The reader will also benefit from being able to see all of the information on Nebraska on a single page, rather than on several. --RexxS (talk) 23:10, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi RexxS. Thanks, I am glad you have contributed to the Community gardens in Nebraska article. Your adding a section and two source footnotes to Community CROPS of Lincoln is a help towards making a case that a state-wide article can exist. Let me be entirely clear: I think it is relevant to note that you are from the West Midlands of England, where editor Pigsonthewing has associations (he set up an editathon event at the West Midlands Police Museum, for example). (It is relevant to note because the location of editors has been made an issue, above.) I suppose you are on-line and/or off-line friends, which is fine, and you don't need to comment on that. I personally welcome you to contributing in this general topic area and here, which is perfectly consistent with me having noted somewhere above that I supposed local editors would have more access to sources and so on. What I said allowed for anyone with interest (local or not) to contribute. It's great that you have interest.

- I disagree that merging city-level info to a state-level article is necessarily better. Why not merge the state-level article to the nation-level article? Wouldn't that be better?

- About the Nebraska state-level article, I disagree that your Google UK search, which you added to the lede, supports the wikipedia-notability of the topic. For list-articles at AFD, many editors will argue that coverage of the topic at a general level is needed, else the list is a mere collection of indiscriminate information. Until the recent creation of the Nebraska article, there were no state-level articles in Wikipedia. See Category:Community gardening in the United States. There is a country level article Community gardening in the United States (with a "By state" section not including Nebraska and not including Oregon), and there are three city-level articles: for List of community gardens in Portland, Oregon, Community gardens in New Orleans, and this Omaha, Nebraska article. It seems to me that there are some communities of community gardens, at a city level, which are clearly notable, including for Omaha. There are sources on the topic of the city articles. It has not been established anywhere that there is a state-level wikipedia-valid topic. --do ncr am 16:57, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Battleground. C'mon people. This subject area has become a battleground, and nothing is being gained by prolonging this AFD. See wp:BATTLEGROUND and see wp:WINNING. I think it is fine that RexxS and maybe others wish to develop the Nebraska state-level article some, although it may not survive a future AFD because there are not yet any sources supporting the state-level topic. However I think there is plenty of evidence, even consensus, within these discussions (above, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dundee Community Garden, the two articles' talk pages, and perhaps elsewhere), that there are sources supporting the topic of community gardens in Omaha, and that being a community of community gardens.

In the Dundee Community Garden AFD, editor Candleabracadabra provided 7 Omaha-level sources (not yet added to this article, given contention): seven empty city lots to be turned into community gardens, City planning document, local award, News story on city council vote for community garden, news story on a community garden makeover, story on celebration of community gardens and another story on a community garden program in Omaha. Candleabracadabra commented "Seems to be kind of a big deal in Omaha." and Ammodramus replied "Merge per Candleabracadabra, who's come up with enough sources to establish notability for a community-gardens-in-Omaha article; move target article to Community gardens in Omaha, Nebraska, since the sources don't seem to cover any other locations in the state."

It is interesting that the Omaha gardeners have links with the Portland gardeners, city-level community to city-level community, not state-to-state (I saw this in some source that i can't find now, about Omaha and Portland representatives sharing on some idea at a national conference, i think about the bike tour between gardens.) Thus the topic of the current article is supported. If anything, the state-level article should be deleted. But I suggest we just KEEP them both for a while, and let productive editors from anywhere try to develop them for a while. These AFDs, contentious editing at the articles (e.g. silly, passive-aggressive tagging), and so on, are not making this a pleasant environment for mainspace article editing. I suggest to the closer that this be closed "No consensus". Sincerely, --do ncr am 16:57, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notice: There is an AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hill Farm Community Garden, which may be of interest. Please consider commenting there. Also, FYI, I have given notice of this current AFD at Wikipedia:WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening. --do ncr am 19:35, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Couldn't find any reliable sources, didn't meet notability standards. This is a difficult topic to search for, since "galaxy" is a common word with many meanings, so it's extremely possible I overlooked valid sources. I would note that the article's current references strain my acceptance of "good faith" intent on the part of the editors. This reference in particular is a page of meaningless gibberish, with the phrase "GALAXY SOCIAL NETWORK" among the babble, apparently as some fraudulent mechanism to attract search engine notice or something, but in the interest of fairness, it could also have been cited due to incompetence, illiteracy, or perhaps it's a legitimate source steganographically encrypted, or was changed since the time it was cited.

Actually G-4 applies even if there has been editing, if the same problems identified in the original AfD are still present.

Delete, perhaps speedily under A7. I had it tagged as such but he removed it. Zeus^u|c 17:35, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not a Speedy Delete -- full professor and chair is an assertion of notability; it might not be enough to pass WP:PROF but way more than enough to pass speedy deletion.

True, even the assertion of notability suffices to avoid a speedy delete. Unfortunately, in this case, the assertion is unverifiable -- there does not appear to be any evidence that Orenstein is anything other than the librarian at MEC. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:16, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He appears to be chief librarian at his college, which is not so much an academic position as an administrative one (at a lower level than the threshold set by WP:PROF for administrative positions). I don't see much evidence of him having a role as a regular faculty member, and the "chair" claim appears to be a reference to his position as library chief. As such, I think WP:GNG would be a better fit than WP:PROF, but I don't see any evidence of notability through that criterion either. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:28, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- the head librarian at a major university library, I believe, would be enough for a WP:PROF pass, but other than that I think David Eppstein's analysis is correct that GNG is the better guideline for the librarian duties, and I don't see a pass here. There may be something in the prof. position, but it hasn't been documented. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 23:16, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is insulting! "Delete" because of academic position? CUNY librarians have had faculty status for 75 years. Eppstein is writing from ignorance and bias and not fact. The credentials equal all other faculty in CUNY as well as all other responsibilities to the Academy including teaching, writing for refereed publications, community service and public speaking.

Also, this is why the whole process is subjective. I looked at several pages, including one "Carmen Trotta" (just an example don't think he should be deleted) and Orenstein's information is just as (perhaps more) valid and verifiable. Take a look. And then explain how and why the Orenstein page, which is well documented, unbiased, and as notable, should be deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.214.76 (talk • contribs)

Comment Please assume good faith among your fellow editors. Eppstein is writing from the viewpoint of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Calling a chief librarian equivalent to an academic department chair flies in the face of all common usage, and would require a valid reliable source for verification. As to the presence of other pages whose validity you question, please read WP:Other stuff exists to understand that this is not a valid article to make at a deletion discussion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:49, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In fact I happen to think that head librarian of a university is more like a dean than a chair in rank. And librarians have faculty rank at my own university, too, meaning that they belong to the faculty senate, but this does not mean that it would be accurate to refer to them by the professor job title. Anyway, none of this really affects my opinion above. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:19, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Orenstein is selling himself. An article doesn't have to be selling a product to be promotional. If it exists solely to praise and promote the reputation of the subject, it is also promotional. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:04, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wikidan61 is himself reading into the entry something which does not exist. In no place in the Orenstein entry does it ask to be consulted, hired, or employed in any way. It is a list of facts about the subject. Period. This is a sad state indeed, almost a form of intellectual Fascism, to think one's own bias in what they read is true for everyone. If you read other entries about people, living or dead, list their accomplishments, writings, and other information. The question to you sir is where does Orenstein "sell" himself? Please explain and give a direct and specific answer please.

Also, there is no "praise" or other adulation in the entry. Where sir, in the entry is there such a value judgement? You are implying something based on your own bias. Please, read again and give specific examples of praise. If you can find one, just one, I will agree with you.

Do you consider that some may read the entry and not praise but be revolted by the activities or just be neutral? Given that there are other ways to respond to what is read and since you do not know the intent of the creator of the entry, the idea of "selling or promoting oneself" is a stretch indeed.

Please explain "Obscure positions" You mean Orenstein's major programs in the United States and Internationally?

"Comment" The problem here is that source 1) does not meet WP:notability (Read it, and understand why, you must understand the reasons, being a librarian). It states that you were one of the 30 leaders chosen to be honored at a meeting. This source is about you getting a "Ten percent across-the-board raises for professional staff, which translate to about $7000 per person, and increases for non-MLS supervisors as well". Look, the reason why you think you are notable is the blog and your website and your stance in evolution right? If you find a source that meets the WP:RS AND is wp:NOTABLE then you've got yourself a page.

Look at it from the wiki perspective, if we gave every blogger that had more than half a million viewers a page we'd get stuck. Check out List_of_blogs to see what other people/bloggers have gotten as coverage to be able to exist on Wikipedia. There is a page on wikipedia about "the bear club" a blog on teddy bears, I mean really? Teddy bears?. The reason the page wasn't deleted is because the blog had coverage on bbc 1 and 2, and a few others. Tomato 33 (talk) 14:27, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tomato33 appears to be confusing the notability of topics (i.e. things that might be the subject of a Wikipedia article) with the notability of sources. Sources are neither notable nor non-notable. They may be either reliable or not, and we really only want the reliable ones, and they may include coverage of the topic that is significant or not (and we really only want the significant coverage). In this case, the Library Journal profile of Orenstein is both reliable and significant, and does count toward the weight of coverage for this individual. However, it appears to be the only source which meets these criteria. We might, possibly (although unlikely) end up with an article on Orenstein as a notable librarian, but based on available sources, not as a notable secular humanist. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Seems like tomato33 (great name BTW) isn't a fan of the Orenstein page. Ok. No hard feelings.

The IP address, 199.219.183.26, geolocates to location: "Brooklyn, New York, United States, North America", organization: "Medgar Evers College".
While it is true that librarians in universities are generally considered faculty, and the head of the library is generally considered equal to a department chair or possibly a dean, I can't find any reliable source which explicitly states that in this case. What appears to be the authoritative announcement of his appointment only refers to him as "Chief Librarian". That's not to say he doesn't have academic rank; just that this fact is not established by the announcement. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:53, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Beck Protocol[edit]

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

Not being a member of a medical mafia, or a powerful person (see article talk page), I am bringing this to AfD for discussion. Is it notable? Maybe - or maybe not. Is it referenced in accordance with WP:RS? To my mind, definitely not. If it is notable, can it be referenced properly? Up to you. Peridon (talk) 16:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm not quite sure what the reason for the nomination is here. Not having reliable sources is not a reason to nominate for deletion. There's plenty of articles about Bob Beck and his "protocol" around the internet, including official pages, fan pages, and stores. People buy this stuff, and the equipment that goes along with it. It'd be great if the article was expanded with some citations about the protocol's effectiveness (or lack thereof). Not sure how nominating for deletion is going to help get us there, though. Johnny "ThunderPeel2001" Walker (talk) 23:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At least one article about Beck has been deleted, and his pages, his fans' pages, and stores are not reliable independent sources WP:RS. I'm not nominating purely because of the referencing. I want a consensus on notability. If you can reference it to fit WP:RS, please do so. Yes, if the article was expanded giving a picture of the claims, and a picture of the opposition to the 'protocol', with RS sourcing, I'd be quite happy. I brought this here after declining a speedy request that read 'just read it!' or words to that effect. Here, you're getting an open review and time to fix things.

Delete As far as I can tell it fails Wikipedia:Fringe theories because there is no serious in-depth coverage in independent sources which are not involved in the promotion of the Beck Protocol. Coverage in scientific journals, newspapers, mainstream magazines, book that aren't promoting fringe science, etc, would be required.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Social Group)[edit]

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

Duplicate of Haredi Judaism.

The hatnote and a talkpage comment claim that this article is about the culture and society and that article is about the theology and history. However, the Haredi Judaism article includes almost nothing about theology per se and not that much about history, mainly focusing on the cultural/social aspects that are supposedly reserved for this article.

In fact, the distinction between history/theology and culture/society is tenuous, especially since Haredim feel that their clothing etc. are mandated religiously. Perhaps there could be a separate article "Haredi philosophy", but the two articles currently existing are complete duplicates. Ypnypn (talk) 16:21, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to the Haredi Judaism article because this is a WP:CONTENTFORK, and the term "ultra-Orthodox" as it applies to Jews is regarded as a pejorative term on WP for a long time now, as can be seen from the many discussions and understandings reached at Talk:Haredi Judaism/Archive 1, Talk:Haredi Judaism/Archive 2 and at a number of other places.

Serbian months[edit]

This supposed list of twelve Serbian months is, at worst, a blatant WP:MADEUP, and at best, list of unnotable words. The month names are based on a single source: sr:Mile Nedeljković: Srpsko nasleđe, br. 9, 1998., by a Serbian journalist and ethnologist. Srpsko nasleđe (Serbian heritage) was a short-lived magazine from 1990s, not a scientific paper. None of the words is listed even in the comprehensive Serbian dictionary of Matica srpska.
The more I research, the more I'm sure it's a blatant hoax: if I search for "ležitrava", it yields a grand total of 11 ghits, forums of Wikipedia mirrors, and 0 GBook hits. In the issue 9 of Srpsko nasleđe there is no such article, and indeed, "ležitrava" is not even mentioned on its website [21]. No such user (talk) 07:11, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: the referenced article does exist [22]. The author does address the history of Slavic calendar and month names, but does not ascribe them to specifically Serbian traditions. It's a vague narrative on how Slavic month names came about, without references. The actual spelling for 'april' is lažitrava, and it has certain web circulation, but still including chiefly forums, blog and news articles on slow days. For example, the most "reliable" news article is this, which starts with statement that "The word calendar has its roots in our language, because it is made from our two famous words wikt:kolo and wikt:dar". No such user (talk) 07:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kukulj, -Article creator[edit]

---Pray tell, If these are not the traditional names for Serbian months, what are they? I have provided many different sources for the names of the months, not just 'Srpsko nasleđe'.'Godišnji običaji u Srba - Mile Nedeljković. Vuk Karadžić - Beograd, 1990' is just one example.

These are the traditional names for the 12 months of the year in the Serbian language, there mostly historical records in the form of traditional songs, books, poems and stories.

Moreover, this brings up the question, what do you think Serbians used before they started using the Latin names?

I have provided a comparison of the names of months in various Slavic languages; you can quite clearly see that all of the Serbian names for the months are repeated in one form or another in the other Slavic languages. For example; Ležitrava in Serbian, Travanj in Croatian, Treven in Macedonian, Mali Treven in Slovenian. The sources are not of the same opinion when it comes to the spelling of this word, but 'Lažitrava' gets more hits than 'Ležitrava', I was going to add them both but didn't know how to put one under the other without changing the table. This is an important part of Serbian culture, and there should be an article on it.

My suggestion is this; This article needs to be improved, not deleted. Different regions of Serbia had different names for the months, and these need to be added. If you are interested, or for that matter, if anybody else in interested, research needs to be done on the matter and included into this article. Kukulj (talk) 08:04, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete BUT please read. Lists of words in other languages are not usually encyclopedic; this article seems to fail WP:N. It is possible that the content could be salvaged in the context of month names in Slavic languages, through I am not exactly sure where it could go. Probably Slavic calendar, a top article at Category:Slavic calendar, seems like a notable concept. Moth articles in it should probably go, and if this is deleted I'd encourage the deleting admin to go and prod/mass AfD the articles in this category. I'd also encourage User:Kukulj to start work on Slavic calendar, after familiarizing him/herself with WP:N and WP:OR policies. I find this topic somewhat interesting, and I could help review the new article if it is put at WP:AFC or draftspace/sandbox. You may want to request that the deleted content is userfied.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:56, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't quite understand.

The comparison of months was just to add a nice touch. I don't understand what's wrong with the article; it shows what the months in the Serbian language are; there are almost identical articles for all the Slavic languages, and those articles have LESS sources and information than this one, so if this is deleted, they should be too. If they aren't, it will become clear that 'No such user' has a problem with me, or Serbia in general.

However, I do agree with your Slavic calendar idea, it's interesting. If all of these articles are deleted, I would be more than happy to start Slavic calendar User:Piotrus, yes, I would like to request for the deleted content to be userfied, and I will start at WP:AFC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kukulj (talk • contribs) 11:05, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly what Piotrus said, that all the articles should be deleted and the information should be put into a new article, Slavic calendar. FkpCascais (talk) 11:52, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Piotrus that the whole Category:Slavic calendar violates WP:WINAD and should be pruned. Also, the whole concept of Slavic month names is notable, but the reader should be served with a single article (Slavic calendar or Slavic months) explaining the history and side-by-side comparison of month names in various languages and other calendar data, not bare tables. There are scholarly articles (and I'm sure a deeper research could find more) about the topic, such as [23], [24], [25] (the latter could be used as model for our article). So, I suppose the answer could be merge and fix/expand of all these articles into one, rather than outright delete.
That being said, I'm still unconvinced with the veracity of the single source (Nedeljković) on which this article is built upon. It is a broad narrative in an entertaining historical magazine (likely a WP:OR by its author, or at least a primary source) turned into a system of "Serbian month names" which is simply not there. But that might be an issue for a later editing. No such user (talk) 14:47, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that all the articles in that category should be merged into one. Slavic names for months might be a better title, unless the "slavic calendar" was ever somehow different in structure to the gregorian calendar, in which case that could be discussed too. - filelakeshoe (t / c) 15:17, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely, I'm 100% for this idea. They should be merged into one article. I think that Slavic calendar would be more appropriate than 'Slavic names for months'; more information would be included that just the names. Also, there already exists an article, https://sh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenski_kalendar, with translations in many different languages, so it would be very simple to add an English version.

Keep. Meets WP:AUTHOR for being "widely cited by peers" and his works receiving recognition in independent sources. The "claim to notability" is in the lede. Wikipedia articles are not written for a toddler's mentality, and do not begin with insultingly simplistic things such as "This topic is notable because....". The article AND project will be be improved through regular editing without crying "it has not been done or it cannot be done". Topic notability is met through verifiabilty of contents and assertions to show it meeting our inclusion criteria. While nice, WP:GNG is not the only criteria for determining if something might be within these pages to serve its readers, specially as guideline specifically tells us at WP:N, that if lacking GNG, "a topic is also presumed notable if it meets the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right", which this topic does.

Norman Alvis[edit]

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

This was an article up at CSD earlier, and I axed it, but it was restored by Fram (talk · contribs) on grounds that the given reasons for csd - A1 & A7 - were entirely incorrect. That is fine, after all we build by consensus, and I'm only human so I have no reservations about admitting when I have made a mistake, so if I jumped the gun on speedy deletion with regards to this article then I accept full responsibility for the error and any sanctions or censorship that my poor judgement here necessitates, however I am concerned about the article because there seems to be a few relevant policies here that the article comes under that are sending mixed signals. To begin with, the article is short - its got two lines and a few statistics, and little useful information beyond what you may get in a drive by Google search. This would seem to put it at odds with WP:ONEEVENT, since the man in question appears notable only for having been a few races of fame. From this perspective then, the logical choice would be to merge the article into a list of cycling persons or some such place. However, that is contradicted by WP:SPORTS, which implies that the person in question is notable by virtue of participation in major event such as the tour de France, and indeed the man did participate in the event, but came in well behind the leaders to say the least. From this perspective, the article should be kept, but there seems to be a lack of information at present to justify keeping a full article on the cyclist. Finally, WP:BIO lays out that "All BLPs created after March 18, 2010 must have at least one source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article, or it may be proposed for deletion. The tag may not be removed until a reliable source is provided, and if none is forthcoming, the article may be deleted after ten days. This does not affect other deletion processes mentioned in BLP policy and elsewhere." In a review of the article it was never proposed for deletion, which I missed in the csd log check (and I am not proud of that), and to be fair here the article does have one source provided, but the source given speaks to Norman's placement in the races, and not to other information in the article such as birth place, age, etc, which cycles back to case for redirecting or merging the material. Lastly, there are WP:NPF issues to be considered here, as the cyclist seems rather unknown judging by the two lines that comprise the entire biography. That does seems to suggest that a merge or redirect would be appropriate here until such time as the article is expanded on, but I've seen smaller articles exist for years as stubs here and they do just fine, so I would assume there is no reason for this one not to exist as a stub as well. As far as what happens to the article, I'm indifferent if it stays or if it goes (by deletion or merging or redirecting), being an inclusionist I will root for the people making the case to keep it, but I am just enough concerned about this article that I'd like some community input here to see what the rest of the Wikipedians think. Should we keep it, merge it, redirect it, or delete it? TomStar81 (Talk) 10:03, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. No reason for deletion given that would even remotely apply. Frankly, how did you become an admin if you first completely incorrectly speedy delete the article, and then sprout the amount of nonsense in the above? Don't you know the difference between what the article is like (short) and what the notability of the subject is? That's probably the most basic aspect of an AfD, but at least half of your "nomination" (if that's the word one can use for this) is filled with how poor and short the current article is... Further: WP:NPF? Really? That's not an argument for or against deletion, that's about what information to include in the article. Nothing in the article comes even close to NPF, so scratch that. WP:ONEEVENT? No, he is notable for a career, including winning two national championships and participating in some of the greatest sports events. He won 21 professional races, in multiple countries, and raced in some of the most important teams, not some insignificant third-rate team. WP:BIO and the "you need one source" argument, which you yourself refute, as a source is present, which contain his birth date (conbtradicting your claim that it doesn't give the "age" of course). You have given nothing which can withstand even the most cursory check. Please withdraw this nomination and take a lot more care with your speedy deletions.

This person does not appear to meet the general notability guidelines as I can find no significant coverage about her. The article does not make a clear claim for notability. She is asserted to be a politician, but there is no indication that she has held political office. The only hint in the article is that "[s]he was affiliated with Marion Barry", but the article fails to provide any sort of details. Whpq (talk) 02:48, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the best you can do for a notability claim is that she was appointed to a municipal economic development commission, and the best you can do for sourcing is that commission's own website (a primary source which cannot demonstrate notability, and fails to even verify most of the content in this article), then what you have is a person who does not qualify for a Wikipedia article under any of our inclusion guidelines. And for the record, an earlier version was deleted which provided reams and reams more detail about her personal life, without actually citing any better sources or providing any more substantive detail about her political career, than this version does. So I'm torn about whether this should qualify for WP:CSD#G4 or not — it's not a repost of the same article, but it does make the same weak notability claim and definitely doesn't source it any better. And even in this significantly less detailed version, there's still enough unsourced private personal information (the names of her parents?! an ex-husband's drug habit?!) that I can't help but suspect a WP:COI violation. Delete with fire. Plus upon reviewing the history I note that in addition to the prior AFD, it's also been speedied three times A7 — so I'd recommend salting the earth afterward too.

Weak keep: there are multiple interviews ([37], [38], [39], etc), news items specificly covering his opinions and statements (eg) and other numerous but light sources. Frankly, I can't find anything to decisively support my !vote, but I believe he is worth mention in Wikipedia. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 12:13, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews are a primary source and hence are not considered a reliable source, see WP:RS, "Further examples of primary sources include ... , editorials, columns, blogs, opinion pieces, or (depending on context) interviews;... A primary source is a first-hand account of an event. Primary sources may include .. interviews".
News items are not enough to establish notability. WP:NOTABILITY "brief bursts of news coverage may not be sufficient signs of notability" and "Wikipedia is not a news source: it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage. For example, routine news coverage such as press releases, public announcements, sports coverage, and tabloid journalism is not significant coverage. Even a large number of news reports that provide no critical analysis of the event is not considered significant coverage."
Being in the news is not a valid argument for a keep vote. WP:INTHENEWS "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news service, and keep arguments must take this into account."
Being mentioned or quoted in passing in a source is not enough to establish notability, see WP:TRIVIALCOVERAGE
The subject of the news is Debian. There is no evidence that Branden Robinson is notable independent of his ex-role as Project Leader, WP:NOTINHERITED
There is no significant external coverage from independent secondary sources on the topic of Branden Robinson. That is the bar for notability. Interviews are primary sources. There is plenty of coverage of Debian by secondary sources, so Debian is notable, but being mentioned or quoted in news about Debian does not make a person notable.

While I generally agree with your points (particularly about interviews ≠ RS), the claim "There is no evidence that Branden Robinson is notable independent of his ex-role as Project Leader, WP:NOTINHERITED" is laughable: people are always note notable separately of their roles. Obama is not notable separately of his political career, Napoleon is not notable separately from his political and military career, Brittney Spears is not notable separately from her singing career, etc. In this sense BLP notability is always inherited, so we may safely assume that WP:Notability (people) wholy overrides WP:NOTINHERITED. Again, for clarity: I have no accountable claim for his notability, only "feeling" that he belongs here per his impact to Debian. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 16:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you missed the point of WP:NOTINHERITED. The point is that, just because the subject "Debian" or "Debian Project Leader" is notable, it does not mean that every Debian developer, or every Debian Project Leader, is individually notable. If there are articles about Debian, and an individual gets quoted because they have a particular role in Debian, this does not make the individual notable. It is Debian that is the subject of the article. It is Debian that is notable.

How many reliable sources are there about Obama? Not reliable sources about the role President of the U.S., but specifically about Obama? How many reliable sources are there about Branden Robinson? Not reliable sources about Debian or the Debian Project Leader, but specifically about Branden Robinson? That is the difference. Chris Bainbridge (talk) 17:01, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, but the news item about the actions of particular Debian Project Leader contributes to his notability, not to the notability of position. You should also note, that mainstream press (which is the press that covers Obama) has different habbits, out of necessity: they don't have to explain in every article, what is U.S., what is President, what is U.S. President in particular, and how is it called, because unlike independent tech sources they may safely assume that their readers are knowledgable of subject. At the same time, average tech source has to explain all these points simply to ensure that newbies (largest slice of TA) grasp the news item. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 18:23, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give specific examples of secondary-source-reliable-source articles that "addresses the topic directly and in detail" regarding Branden Robinson?

The only example so far was the news article "Debian developers ponder trademark changes", which is not particular detailed, and would be classed as "routine news coverage" ("it takes more than just routine news reports about a single event or topic to constitute significant coverage").

Notability requires verifiable evidence: "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition."

So please provide the evidence of significant secondary coverage by reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Because that is what is required. Not primary sources, or interviews, or routine news coverage, or press releases, or personal blogs. Notability requires verifiable evidence, not "feelings" that the person belongs in Wikipedia.

Whether or not the group's activities are local to one area or relatively small in scale they have garnered very substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. And I mean, it's nice to have article on positive subjects. I do think the article could use some work and better state it's significance. The descriptions sections also need tightening up.

Keep. Per Candelabracadabra and seems notable. Founder Tara Winkler appears notable for an article on herself alone, but can be handled in this article. A link in the article is dead, but I confirmed her NSW Young Australian of the Year Award here. --do ncr am 01:22, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Coverage of the restaurant would make the restaurant notable. Notability is not inherit from there. There is nothing sourced in this current advert worth keeping to help write an article for Jaan Bai. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:17, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per Duffbeerforme. Fails GNG. SW3 5DL (talk) 14:50, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Doing a quick Google search, I found two reliable sources. The first is a news article [[40]] about the Cambodian Children’s Trust. The second is a website that states that the founder was named a finalist for Australian of the Year [41] for founding the Cambodian Children’s Trust and gives a description of the organizationTHe sources are kind of slim, but they do exist.

Delete, tiny charity with apparent limited coverage by independent media (mainly in the home country of one of its foreign founders). Sietecolores (talk) 21:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete 2 weeks after AfD listing and still no evidence of significant coverage. The founder may have a claim for notability but that does not follow this organization is automatically notable. This fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 14:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. Having roles in movies is what actors do, that in itself does not make them notable, only if those roles have generated significant coverage, which does not appear to be the case here. Randykitty (talk) 13:37, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Brent Hinkley[edit]

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

Although he appeared in lots of productions, I really can't find any sources that discuss him in detail. I think he does not pass WP:GNG. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:06, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes GNG. Has general notability as an actor. Better sources would be the trade papers, Hollywood Reporter, Dramalogue, etc. SW3 5DL (talk) 22:01, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But why can't I find those sources? Are they online? By the way, I actually started the article. So, if you're wondering why I'm nomming if for deletion, it is because I didn't even know about GNG when I wrote it. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:41, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Search Dramalogue and Hollywood Reporter. Publicists always go there for less well known clients as it's the trades that help get them noticed in the industry, which in turn gets them jobs. You likely won't find him in the NYTimes and LATimes like you'd see leading men, famous directors, etc. I'd keep the article. It definitely meets GNG. You can withdraw the AfD. SW3 5DL (talk) 02:02, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I searched them both and found only http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/theater-reviews-158787 which doesn't discuss him in detail. I still don't see how he passes GNG. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:16, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: I emailed them and asked if they might have something in an offline archive. If they do, I'll post the sources to the article. SW3 5DL (talk) 16:22, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds great. Many thanks for your diligence. I do hope they reply. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep certainly a recognizable character actor. Character actors get short shrift usually until it is obituary time. --Bejnar (talk) 02:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:N. There's lots of mentions of him in a google search, but all just blogs and directory-type listings. Nothing substantial. This just proves that he exists and he's gotten parts, not that he's notable. The best source I could find was a mention in the NY Times, but that's 100% perfunctory. In fact, it looks like it's just a syndicated listing (© 2010 All Media Guide, LLC Portions of content provided by All Movie Guide ®, a trademark of All Media Guide, LLC). -- RoySmith (talk) 13:33, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: He passes GNG. He's a character actor and stage director. This means he doesn't get the heavy coverage that a leading man, like Brad Pitt, gets. But he is mentioned in reviews for his acting and his directing. Here is his IMDB. LATimes blog. He meets GNG. SW3 5DL (talk) 16:10, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The LATimes piece is not about Hinkley. He's not even mentioned until the 7th paragraph, and then only in the context of ...Also appearing [is] the actress Kate Mulligan [...] along with her husband, actor Brent Hinkley. I would use a source like that to verify a fact such as his appearing in a given production, but, IMHO, it doesn't establish notability. And IMDB is a self published source, which should never be used. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:40, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'd say he passes WP:ACTOR, having quite a few noteworthy roles. WP:GNG isn't required if you pass that, and I'd say with 70+ credits he does. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 23:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but as far as I can see, WP:ACTOR doesn't say anything about notability standards. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:29, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I'm seeing a whole bunch of people saying he meets the GNG. Well, how? I'm not seeing any reliable sources being presented (IMDB in particular being explicitly recognised as not a reliable source). Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:27, 7 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Comment: Lankiveil I used the IMDB as an example of his films, not as a reliable source. As per User:Taylor Trescott, he does pass WP:ACTOR and therefore the article can be kept. SW3 5DL (talk) 13:57, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no, Taylor has pointed out that he has a whole bunch of roles like the coveted "Hobnobber #1". If he doesn't meet the WP:GNG, and I don't think he does, then the bio should be deleted due to a lack of notability. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 14:28, 7 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Comment: Found a biography on Google books here. Does this count? SW3 5DL (talk) 17:34, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a joke, right? Did you look at the description of the "book": Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. See also Dicho#Wikipedia_content_duplication. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:52, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, no sorry didn't see that. SW3 5DL (talk) 22:12, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - article does not pass WP:NACTOR
Weak Keep - He was a regular on a short lived TV show The Preston Episodes, and two episodes of Carnivàle, which might make him slightly pass Wp:NACTOR#1. He has also appeared in famous movies like Ed Wood and The Silence of the Lambs (I'll have to check if his roles were memorable). --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
