- Keep The book itself is the proper source for this list. Npmay (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Clearly any book is a reliable source for its own contents. But we do not have an article on the contents of every book in existence. Is there an independent source that refers to the contents of this particular book, which might establish notability? Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Nothing to suggest that this book's organizational structure is independently notable, nor that we are well-served by duplicating in here. Additionally, such a list appears to be one in which creative selection criteria were employed by the book's authors, and may therefore present copyright issues per User:Moonriddengirl/Copyright in lists.

- Ah, I see, your apparent compliment was sarcastic. It's not easy to tell the tone of voice at the end of this long piece of wire. My argument is that there is no independent reliable source addressing this subject, namely the list of contents of this particular book. Of course the book itself addresses the topic, but this is hardly independent. Cusop Dingle (talk) 15:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article created from a previously PROD'd version, fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Other than a geneology book full of names and birthdates, every reference is a primary source, either the subject's resume or the subject's website. The only exception is a very brief mention as part of a cast that won an award, but this brief mention does not convey notability, per WP:BASIC. SudoGhost 18:14, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[reply]
- Can you provide a source for this? Because the article completely lacks any reliable sources that make even the slightest mention of this; the article fails WP:GNG. Simply appearing in a movie doesn't make a person notable, especially if no reliable sources can be presented to establish such notability. - SudoGhost 11:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Compared to other articles of BLP, such as Liza Tarbuck and Mark Womack who are listed on her page, i think this worth keeping and given time to develope it could be a good article, also she is mentioned on IMDB, and to be honest there are far less notable Actors out there with articles on wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coltjonas (talk • contribs) 10:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC) — Coltjonas (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- The existence of other articles does not have any bearing on this article. IMDB is not a reliable source, having an entry there is not notable in any way, the requirements for inclusion on IMDB are much, much less than what Wikipedia requires. Having an IMDB entry does not come close to establishing notability for a Wikipedia article. IMDB also has no editorial oversight on the content itself, . The article has no reliable sources that establish the notability of the subject, per WP:GNG. - SudoGhost 11:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- That doesn't establish any notability, doesn't meet any of the requirements at either WP:ACTOR or WP:GNG. Please note that your IP geolocates to the same city and ISP as the other IP. If you are the same editor as had previously edited, giving the appearance of multiple "keeps" does not help, this discussion is not a vote. Unless the article can be shown to satisfy WP:GNG, the article has no place on Wikipedia. Saying someone was in a programme is fine, but without backing that up by establishing notability with reliable sources, it doesn't make for a convincing argument to keep the article. - SudoGhost 20:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete barring sources which demonstrate notability under either WP:GNG or WP:ENT. I was unable to discover reliable, secondary sources which provided any in-depth coverage to demonstrate the former and the roles aren't evidenced by reliable sources to meet the latter.
Doesn't appear to be nearly as famous as the auctioneer of the same name.--joe deckertalk to me 01:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Adjusted my rationale in view of MQS pointing out that "the auctioneer" is the same person. Whoops. Still not seeing depth in the sources, but MQS is correct that there is at least some WP:V value in those sources. --joe deckertalk to me 05:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete there is only one 'keep' vote that has a valid argument, but I can't find anything to back up his/her claims. I personally can't find any secondary sources for this subject demonstrating notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ACTOR MisterRichValentine (talk) 15:55, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete In looking at available sources,[1] it does seem that she and her auction house, co-owned with her partner Deba Gray, have turned up receiving auction-related coverage... some of which might verify earlier facts of her career. But for the most part, her work as an actress has not received coverage, and we rarely find those who create commercial advertisements or PSA's to have notability unless there is tremendous media impact or major awards for such... and if that were true, she might have a whack at hitting WP:ANYBIO or WP:CREATIVE even if weak on WP:ENT.

An unsigned band of dubious notability. The article has been tagged since 2008 for possibly not meeting the GNG, and I've had little luck in establishing notability. It doesn't seem to meet any of the criteria as presented in WP:NBAND, and I can find no non-trivial references in reliable third party sources. All of the bands albums were self-released. About the only claim to notability the band has is the mention in a St. Louis newspaper, but I'm not sure if that alone is enough. Rorshacma (talk) 22:48, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. No consensus. However, where a BLP is strongly negative and an AFD comes to no consensus, practice is to err on the side that does the least damage to the living person. Closing as delete per WP:BLP. v/r - TP 21:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I challenge the notability of this guy outside of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing investigation. This has almost no non-negative information about him, and half the article doesn't even mention him. Nor do more than half the sources. I would say this violates WP:BLP and WP:1E. Aervanath (talk) 13:57, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Delete There is absolutely nothing here that can't be (and for that matter, isn't) covered in Investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. A clearly non-neutral WP:BLP, we don't even know anything about this guy (date of birth? education? ANYTHING about him aside from working at the FBI?). All that this article exists for is to point out that he might have inflated his credentials in relation to the bombing case. Very clear delete in my opinion; I would be okay with a redirect to Investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 but I don't think it's necessary, especially since he was apparently involved with other cases. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 20:33, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep He is the author of Practical Bomb Scene investigation which was published by CRC Press (1st ed., 2006; 2nd ed. 2011), which, in addition to receiving a second edition at a signficant publisher (alone an accomplishment), received a journal review at [2] and appears to garner a second at this journal article (via Google snippet, quote is "Thurman's book, Practical Bomb Scene Investigation, is an educational tool aimed at investigators of post-bomb crime scene investigations, homeland security professionals, first responders, and intelligence analysts. ...", I don't have journal access to check if that continues into a longer review.) Doesn't appear have the cite record necessary for WP:SCHOLAR, nor the named professorship needed for WP:ACADEMIC, however the two book reviews approach WP:AUTHOR (3), and if it doesn't meet it on that basis alone, well, the "one event" we already describe presumably provides the margin. There's a few references to him with respect to pipe bombing investigations, etc. Still, if kept, the article needs to read a lot less BLP1E than it already does, for sure. --joe deckertalk to me 02:17, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:BLP1E (nearly all coverage he reveived is about the Lockerbie bombing) or selectively merge anything worthwhile to Investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Sandstein 07:57, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The whole page is basically PR with total lack of neutrality. The film has not been released and has no release date--and only an online release seems to be planned. The sources are all basically PR fluff on obscure sites that are likely just based on press releases. Half of it is PR for the Zenji Museum. Fails WP:GNG.

Delete as far too premature. While there is some sourcing available, there is not nearly to merit this being an exception to WP:NFF nor enough to support or allow proper cleanup of the article.Film released. NFF inapplicable. Changed tokeep"comment". See below Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - No significant coverage to indicate that this film is so highly anticipated that an article is justifiable now. -- Whpq (talk) 16:43, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - There are numerous reference links to many credible media outlets and the article has been around for a long time so a few links have expired. However, it is possible the article should be reverted to one of the earlier versions and a new page should be made for the Zenji Museum although both stories seem to have merged in recent media coverage. Recent coverage has been included in very credible publications which are well respected in the Yoga and spiritual industry where the article is based on and so to call them "off-beat" is unfair and a non expert opinion. For example, another page on Asana Journal exists on Wikipedia and the Yoga Magazine has over 250,000 subscribers. Anyone in that particular industry would see an article there to be very credible indeed. Also, many films are in wikipedia although they are not released in theaters so that has no bearing on a self-help type film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipolice911 (talk • contribs) 05:26, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It should be noted that the only edit Wikipolice911 has made on Wikipedia so far is the above comment. Many of the sources cited in the article make hyperbolic claims about the Zenji Museum and Zen Acharya that are suspect and lead one to believe they are not reliable sources. The piece in Yoga Magazine is only one paragraph and also makes claims that sound more like advertising than objective reporting. The link to Yoga Magazine is also likely a copyright violation. Finally, even if we accept some of the sources as reliable, the article do not satisfy the requirements at WP:NFF. Michitaro (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- 'Keep - First of all, if an article is complimentary to a subject, it cannot be just dismissed as PR. That is not a call for anyone to make arbitrarily. Also, the sources are very credible in terms of the demographic and subject at hand and they have a right to make a statement about a topic be it good, bad or complimentary. Also, films that are released online or via DVD are still relevant. However, I can re-write it more as a stub so that more information can be added as becomes available. Also, the Museum part can be edited and condensed in order to ensure no guidelines are broken. I'll just re-write it as a stub to address your concerns. Thanks for the feedback so that I can improve my articles in the future. Notability is not temporary: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truth be known 888 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I do invite others to read the sources cited in the article and judge if their manipulation of facts indicates they are reliable sources or not. But, as stated before, even having reliable sources does not help this clear the conditions regarding films that have not been released. Finally, I find it curious that the user Truth be known 888 is effectively calling this article one of "my articles," even though it was user Buddhakahika who wrote most of the article. Is Truth be known 888 admitting he/she is a sockpuppet of Buddhakahika? What is Truth be known 888's relation to Wikipolice911? Note that several days ago I opened an SPI on Buddhakahika that involves Truth be known 888. Michitaro (talk) 02:52, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I find your allegations to be laughable and outrageous. Please conduct an investigation as I have no idea who this Buddhak character is. I was only referring to the few additions I made to this comprising some of the entries you are referring to. Also, it is not a feature film and therefore theatric release is of no relevance. Finally since you enjoy rampant speculation, lets ask – who really are you? Are you a sockpuppet for Gene 93k? Why do you have such hostility and personal animosity in your attacks? Could you be someone with a personal axe to grind against someone mentioned in this article? A jilted ex? Or perhaps a a white supremacist who does not like "ethnic communities"? Or could you be a Christian militant who does not like "work of the devil"? Or could you be "wikipolice" yourself with a split personality? If you do not like speculative questions like this then why do you engage in them yourself? I can also open an investigation on you for wiki bullies like you with too much time on their hands are responsible for the “edit wars” that have made wiki the laughing stock of the academic world. Personally it has no impact on me if this article stays or goes. But its interesting how much racism is here on Wiki and that is what I stand against. Where an ethnic publication is considered "off-beat" but Playboy is a genuine source. Who makes this call? And how is it that you cannot even tell the difference between a complimentary article and a press release? Basic class on journalism 101! Also, many contributors only make a few changes to the topics that interest them or their communities thereby bringing a level of expertise and knowledge to the subject. 20 year old trolls working out of their mommy's basements are unable to do that although they can make many more posts. The number of posts a person makes does not add to or detract from his credibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truth be known 888 (talk • contribs) 12:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no need to respond to the above rant. I will only note the following. 1) Whether a film has had a theatrical release is relevant because the standards for notability are different (you seem to be unfamiliar with the standards, so please refer to WP:NF). 2) AfDs are conducted to determine the consensus about whether an article deserves to be on Wikipedia and thus it is vitally important that they be conducted fairly and with no attempts to manipulate the results. It is not uncommon for users to try to defend their article by using multiple accounts to give the impression of more support for the article than really exists. This is against Wikipedia rules. Suspicions have already risen with this AfD because one user, Wikipolice911, appeared suddenly on Wikipedia to make just this one edit in support of the article. I did not mention sockpuppetry here in retaliation against comments made here. The SPI I commenced was done several days before and is based on an objective observation of close similarities between the edits of various accounts. Whether sockpuppetry will be determined is up to the administrators, but this AfD will likely serve as one piece evidence in that determination. In the end, I wanted other editors to be aware of my concerns about the validity of some of the votes being cast on this AfD. Michitaro (talk) 16:02, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, —SW— comment 22:04, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I have re-edited the article as a stub so that more information can be added as necessary. The story itself had garnered a lot of media attention including on Indian news channels and even newspapers as influential as Hindustan Times. It was verified by Wiki editors since 2010 and therefore obviously was note-worthy. By editing it to a more concise version, we can remove the deletion tab and invite others to expand on it. If in a few months we discover that there is not much more to expand, then it can be considered for deletion at that time. This seems to be the most fair and reasonable solution to this debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buddhakahika (talk • contribs) 18:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. For now, I will leave it to others to judge whether this shortened version clears the problems covered in WP:NF. But I should reiterate that many of the sources cited are still suspect. Half are dead links, and some like OfficialWire or TheStreet (the Fox Business link--now dead--is probably identical to this) are just uploaded press releases. The Scribd link goes to what is likely a copyright violation and should be removed. The remaining contain statements that are dubious and thus are hard to call reliable. Finally, length of existence on Wikipedia is not reason enough to keep an article. Old articles get deleted through AfDs all the time. In fact, in this case, the time this has been on Wikipedia works against the article because it only reinforces suspicions that the film will never get released (many of the sources talk of a 2010 release). Michitaro (talk) 21:00, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.Comment With further research I do find the topic to [perhaps] have received just enough coverage to merit an article. Indeed, I have myself visited the article to further address issues with formatting and style per MOS:FILM to bring it fron stub to Start or even C class. And while yes, the nominated version[3] had issues with tone and sourcing, I think the shorter version is more encyclopedic and serves the project... and yes, it can benefit from additional work. However, an watch will needed to prevent re-insertion of non-encyclopdic or extraneous information. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 09:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Just FYI, but it is still dubious whether film has been released. Its own website gives no indication of how to see or obtain the film. Another webpage (one not linked to from the first, but in the same site), says you can download it if you write to them with personal information (this seems the only way you can possibly see the film if it exists). I have not seen any reviews--or even any third-person reports from people who have seen a completed film. Two things concern me: first, that the article on Wikipedia may end up being a means for a religion to accumulate information on people to be used for proselytising; second, the fact that one of the sources cited says the film has been released (but not in this dubious way and also giving the wrong date) only underlines the likelihood that many of the sources cited themselves contain factually incorrect information. Michitaro (talk) 12:51, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no wish to provide them with personal information in order to obtain a download link... but on their website one has only to click a link and watch any one of the film's several segments. As it is viewable, it has "release". Yes, the original article spent most of its text promotion the filmmaker and the museum. Now, it does not, which is why I suggested above that a watch be kept to prevent re-insertion of improper materials. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 16:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If you could specify which page you are referring to, that would help. I too found a page which seemed to offer the film in segments, but when you click each segment, all you get is a different flash html text with music, not a movie (such as here). The title of the page only says that it offers a trailer and an exclusive preview of the film. Michitaro (talk) 16:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - Even with the updates done by MQS, I am maintaining my !vote of delete. The sources are somewhat marginal, and in particular, the one used to cite the release is dated August 23, 2011 and reads like a copy of press release announcing the imminent release scheduled for August 29. 2011. The other articles also look rather like pastiches from press release. There is also a lack of reviews of the film which would indicate there is a lack of any critical notice. -- Whpq (talk) 13:10, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No need to change your vote. I agree that the sources dealing with a major religion-topic of do seem ornately flowery in speaking toward their religion-related topic. But as we are for the most part speaking about non-english authors writing about a religious topic, is such tone to be seen as ONLY strictly promotional, or might it be out of the source author's respect for the topic. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 16:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: First, let me mention that the SPI against Buddhakahika, who created this article and voted above, has confirmed that Buddhakahika is a sockpuppetteer who has misused multiple accounts: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Buddhakahika. Wikipedia911, who also voted above, is one of those accounts. All the confirmed accounts have been blocked indefinitely. Truth be known 888, who voted above (and who clearly has violated WP:CIVIL), has been determined "possibly bordering on likely" to be Buddhakahika, and administrative action is pending. While Buddhakahika's efforts to manipulate this AfD are one reason the user has been blocked indefinitely, it should be stressed that the multiple accounts were first used to litter Wikipedia with statements presenting the particular views of a single religious organization run by an individual as historical fact (and to promote the products of that individual, including this film and the Zenji Museum). I wrote a summary of these activities on MichaelQSchmidt's talk page: User_talk:MichaelQSchmidt#Karma:_The_New_Revolution. It should be reiterated that just because the person who created this page is a sockpuppetteer who tried to disrupt this AfD does not automatically mean the article should be deleted. The article can still stand if it passes WP:NF. However, given the deceptive efforts of Buddhakahika--who is likely associated with this film and this religion--we have to be very careful in our judgment. Knowing these efforts to manipulate Wikipedia to promote a religion created by an individual, one can easily imagine that the same individual has been trying to use the media in a similar way. The sources used to verify this film thus must be given extra scrutiny. Like Whpq above, I do not think they withstand that scrutiny. Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt, as MichaelQSchmidt argues, none of them verify one simple thing: that this film is complete and has been seen by third-parties. The sources give multiple release dates (and even one of the religion's websites gives another one: September 11, 2011)--which makes it unclear if it ever really was released--and the only way to see this film (if it exists) is to contact the religion and give them your personal information (at least your e-mail address). Without any independent sources saying they have seen the completed film, and given the peculiar way it is being distributed, I cannot free myself of the suspicion that the promise of showing the film (without possibly the film even existing) is being used as a means of getting people to contact the religion so that they can become the object of proselytization or donation requests. Having a Wikipedia article gives a stamp of authenticity to this film. I personally think the safe course of action is to delete this article. If a user can subsequently find independent RS who have seen the actual film and verify its notability, then the article can be recreated. Michitaro (talk) 12:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Reduced my support above to only a "comment". The flash movie segments on the http://www.rightkarma.net/ website may qualify as "film", but in actually watching the available trailer and "film" segments The Defender The Abbott The Enlightened The Savior The Teacher Dharma Talks The Collection The Temple and Holy Texts it seems they are more a set of religious infomercials, than an actual self-help film... and that is of a concern. But as we do have sources speaking about it (albeit in a flowerey and ornate manner), it still might be seen to pass WP:GNG and thus WP:NF. But after watching the segments, I feel less positive toward a definite keep and am willing to say so here. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:13, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Michael has said that WP:NFF does not apply here, but I think the third paragraph provides useful guidance: "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." I can't see any special reason that the production for this film should be notable, and most of the sources in the article seem to be variations on the same press release. If there was at least one review of the film out there then I might be persuaded otherwise, but I do not think this article is worth keeping with the sourcing that there is. — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 23:01, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I'll disclose that Tasman is a colleague of mine at UWM, but part of my goal as an editor has always been to get more Wisconsin, South African, and new media artists on Wikipedia, and he is without a doubt a well-known scholar and maker in the Midwest and beyond. I think this discussion is great - mostly because it has gotten a few editors to add more information and sources to the page. Were it this tight at the start, it would unlikely have garnered the attention for deletion. Perhaps we can make a few more suggestions here for editing / requirements in order to make it more suitable, rather than deleting it outright? I'd be happy to, for example, add a few more sources and citations if needed. Though it seems to me that between the Routledge book, NPR, and several Journal Sentinel articles (although regional, this is the 14th largest paper in the country), it should be enough to show sustained interest in his work, even for the critical eye. NathanielS (talk) 21:42, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- New management or self-help theories are indeed commonplace, trivial, and difficult to distinguish in substance from each other. This is just another one, seeking to conceal its banality behind a clever acronym. One review in a relatively obscure academic journal, and a brief review on Kirkus Reviews, a book trade publication that seeks to make some note of most printed books. (According to the article, Kirkus reviews 7000 books a year, and will review self published books for a fee. Kirkus reviews are not evidence of notability.) This would not even make the Halprin book meet the notability guideline for books; and this whole 'methodology' is apparently Halprin's baby. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In looking at this one, I'm sort of on the fence. On one hand, there's the potential for having significant coverage, and he may just well cover that. On the other hand, it seems to be more or less promotional in nature, and there's typical precedent, per my understanding, that politicians at this level don't tend to quite meet the criteria that we hold any given article to.

- As merely a candidate for congressional office he is not notable. He did get a little coverage during the Gary Condit/Chanda Levy news story, but not enough for an independent article.

however he is unlikely to unseat Garamendi IMO.--MelanieN (talk) 16:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- My mistake; the district has been redrawn and technically has no incumbent running in November, although an incumbent Republican congressman who lives outside the district is running, as well as a Democrat. Condit is running as an independent and under California's new system he would have to be first or second in the primary to advance to the November election. Still unlikely IMO. In any case my Crystal Ball predictions are beside the point; the point is that whatever notability he has comes from his relationship to Gary Condit, not his candidacy. --MelanieN (talk) 17:14, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Gary Condit, per MelanieN. Presently does not appear to be notable enough to warrant a standalone article. Suggest keeping the edit history intact should the article merit recreation at a later time (as noted by the nom., there is clear potential for that). If kept, cleanup will be necessary.

- You are right that there is another possible target for a redirect, namely United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2012#District 10.

- Predominantly I saw reason to create this article because his actions aren't just a passive association with his father. Also there is coverage of him spanning a good length of time for a variety of issues(2001quiting Gray Davis' office- being sued for possible fund embezzling- baskin robbins lawsuit-running for election 2012). So to me he meets the primary notability criterion that makes this article notable, but I'm biased as the creator.

The problem is, who knows what is and is not a reliable, impartial source for detailed information about the UK cannabis legalization movement? As I read through the Google hits I don't know who I can really cite. This uncertainty is a problem, not just for this article, but for the cannabis legalization movement in general.

- FeodorBezuhov, I don't doubt the truth of what you say, but a blind bibliography isn't that meaningful. In the Wikipedia of 2012 (as opposed to that of, say, 2005), sources are cited. Information drawn from a particular source, even one edited by the Romanian Academy, is cited as coming from that source, together with the page number(s). A mere list of works lacks the credibility of a properly cited article that shows the author actually went through the sources and examined their contents. - Biruitorul Talk 03:29, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, I did not make the comment to stress that he is a bad writer (I don't care either way, and would not assume that wikipedia needs my own opinion), but that the slim coverage he gets is also negative - people who read his works make brief mention of them so as to say "erm, no". They may or may not be right, but they're professionals in the field, and they are a good probe into Şandru's standing in his community. And, as Biruitorul says, just because the article has a vague list of works that may or may not mention Şandru (and, more importantly, to say what?), it doesn't mean we should casually assume that they also verify the text, or pretend that they stand in for real citations of said sources. Sending Biruitorul to buy himself the books and verify the references for the author is not a substitute. Dahn (talk) 18:21, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as per В и к и, not forgeting the importance of improving sourcing and keeping the aricle NPOV and wikified. The main reason I favour keeping the article over merging has to do with the fact that more and more supporting groups have their own articles, and there has existed interest on behalve of editors to contribute to the subject. Having this in mind, I find much more appropriate to have separate articles where the subject could be expanded in more detail, rather then having a over-sized supporters section in club articles, which is what often ends up happening when we lack a separate article but we have editors willing to contribute on it.

- Alumina refineries are significant pieces of engineering. They will (as does any construction of such scale) be fairly easy to demonstrate notability for. Each one also consumes considerable electrical power, has large quantities of raw materials shipped to it, and has a risk of environmental damage from their effluents. The locations of such plants are entirely proper topics for encyclopedic coverage. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:58, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Liefting, you need to actually explain your reasoning to the community in this (and all your other "edits") rather than just say "per X" where X is a guideline that covers a multitude of sins. It's not up to the community to work out what you're saying, it's up to you to you say it. And say it explicitly. The onus is on you to prove why anything should be deleted or moved etc, and in doing that you have to be explicit in the guidelines or policies or consensual discussions you're referring to in order to back up your position. If you continue to just claim "Per WP:X" you may end up becoming the boy who cried wolf. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I rather like "per WP:X" Although it was obviously intended as a placeholder for blank appeals to any policy, its accidental monotheistic invocation highlights the point that this is all you're doing. WP isn't a theocracy. It doesn't(sic) operate by either prayers to the thunder-block wielding Olympian Jimbo, nor even to just citing verses by their placeholder. Instead we're supposed to use some fluffy schoolroom version of Hegelian dialectic.
- So far you've cited one of the broadest of policies, with no detail or explanation. Then you did it again. Then you switched to name calling (that wasn't even an ad hominem).

- Keep This is perhaps more of a US term than UK. It's certainly widespread on Usenet news:rec.cycling There's scope for a good article here, but if anything, it's WP:NOTHOWTO that would be the biggest problem for it. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Question Are you sure? - perhaps Google is biasing my search results but most references to this phrase seem to be in British cycling-related message boards.

- Weak Delete The sources do exist that show that the term is being used on a more widespread basis, however this article doesn't really discuss the term itself. Rather, as others have said, its just an essay about what might be wrong with cheap bikes. The whole article would essentially have to be completely rewritten, and even then, there's the question on whether or not this neologism actually passes the GNG at this point. As Salimfadhley said, its possible an article with the same title could be eligible to be created at a future date, it should be deleted for now. Rorshacma (talk) 17:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep after move. There are some reliable sources on the topic. The BBC and Guardian articles are productive, among others. However, the primary problem at the moment is a failure of NPOV. I suggest a move to the neutral descriptive term flat pack bicycle and inclusion of industry sources. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not all BSOs are those that arrive as flat packs for home assembly. Some are sold "assembled"(sic) by shops, but they're still just BSOs.
- (I was out for a ride in the good weather last weekend, met a parent and child out riding too. Poor kid had their front fork on back to front - it must have been terrifying to ride. So these things do happen out in t'real world.) Andy Dingley (talk) 19:03, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Both I, and the sources, would suggest that a flat pack bicycle is still a flat pack bicycle whether assembled by the end-user or the vendor. If we're going to have an article on the topic, WP:NPOV is probably not ideally served by locating that article at the current title. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:42, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- We've a couple of flat pack bicycles here. There's nothing wrong with them, it's a pragmatic approach to shipping retail products - so long as they're good bikes, assembled competently. A BSO, in contrast, is a poor sort of bike to ride afterwards, as described by a community of experienced cyclists. This is a subjective POV judgement, but that's not a problem for WP, as it wasn't WP's judgement to describe them so.
- WP's NPOV task here is to describe the behaviour of the cyclist community in identifying this class of problematic "wheeled artifacts", in applying the label to them, and in their critique of how such things happen to exist and what can be done about fixing them. We (as editors) can do that much objectively. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - being in the background chorus line of a dance tv show is barely more notable than being an extra in a movie --which is entirely not notable (not even for IMDB!) one appearance on the same show as a dance contestant and being voted off immediately is not notable. being the lead dancer in a show that reached broadway is perhaps somewhat notable maybe. barely. does a lead dancer get to speak any lines? the article sentence which begins "Peta is currently dating..." is actually funny: as if grasping for notability by mentioning her slightly barely notable current boyfriend. Cramyourspam (talk) 15:54, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Contrary to the above, the subject was promoted from the dance troupe on Dancing with the Stars to become one of the professional dance partners for the last two seasons. While she and her partner were eliminated in the first week, she has nevertheless returned to compete as one of the professional dance partners again this season. With only two exceptions, it appears that every other professional dance partner on the U.S. edition of DWTS has an article on Wikipedia (or at least their names are blue links). I believe her involvement as a professional dance partner on DWTS for two seasons is sufficient to qualify the subject as notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page was proposed for deletion due to being a "neologism". I however, as the author, think that the page has potential. I learnt about the term in media class at high school, and was surprised nothing had been written about it on Wikipedia. I would like the wider community's opinion on this. — This nomination and rationale by Coin945 (talk) 04:51, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Comment. I'll look for sources, but I'll be bluntly honest: NONE of the sources on the article are usable as reliable sources that show notability for this idea. A comedic article on Cracked is not considered to be something that would show absolute notability or even legitimacy for the idea. They're a known site, but not considered to be a WP:RS, especially not in this context. The other sources involve pieces of movie scripts and forums, none of which are RS either. This just comes across as a lot of original research.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:38, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a neologism. The thing is, there aren't any reliable sources to show that this term is used in Hollywood or that this article is anything other than original research. None of the links in the article are usable at all per WP:RS. Here's my rundown on the articles used:
- [24] This is a Q&A forum similar to Yahoo Answers and isn't considered a reliable source per WP:RS since anyone can answer it with whatever they wanted and claim to be whomever they wanted. It's just not verifiable.
- [25] This does mention a rule, but this isn't considered to be a reliable source. It's a random "buy this product" merchant site and isn't considered to be an absolute authority on the subject.
- [26] Cracked isn't really considered a reliable source as far as verifiability goes. Notability? Sometimes. I just don't think this really proves it in this situation.
- [27] See the rationale above for MovieOutline.com.
- [28] This didn't even come up for me at all.
- [29] (I think you meant to redirect to this [30]) This is a link to a forum. Forums are not usable as reliable sources for much for much of the same reason that you can't use number one as a RS.
- [31] This is a link to a download site for a script. Even without the obvious legal repercussions of linking to a potentially illegal script download, merely linking to a script does not prove anything.
- [32] A link to a blog by a non-notable person. 99.9% of blogs are completely unusable as sources unless they're by someone notable or considered to be an absolute and complete authority on the subject. By this I mean that they're the type of person that magazines, books, and scholars quote.
- [33] A link to a Disney travel blog. See above reasons.
In the end none of these are reliable sources that prove that this term is anything other than a neologism. I can see where it's in use and where it'd be considered "obvious" but in the end there just aren't enough reliable sources (newspaper articles, books, etc) to show that it's anything other than a neologism. I did a search under all of the different terms and only found one thing that looks like it could be used as a RS and we need way more than one source to show notability.

- Delete I am the editor who originally tagged the article as a PROD, and I still stand by my initial reasoning, that this is a neologism that has no indication of widespread use. While I have no doubt that a convention like this does exist in screenwriting, I can find nothing to indicate that referring to it as the "1 Hour Rule" is a commonality. In fact, at the time of my initial PRODding, the only three sources didn't even mention this concept by that name. A couple of the sources that have been added since mention the rule, but not only are none of them reliable third party sources, but several of them aren't even talking about the same thing. Rorshacma (talk) 17:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The term used in traditional formulaic Hollywood-style screenwriting for this pivotal point, in which the protagonist's endeavours are thwarted by a seemingly unsurmountable obstacle or suffer some other major setback, is "first culmination", also known as "midpoint culmination", as it is supposed to occur halfway into the film (which for a two-hour film is indeed after one hour). While I had not encountered the term "1 hour rule" before, incorporating such a dramatic event is indeed considered one of the fundamental rules for writing successful screenplays, as shown by the Google book search hits. --Lambiam 20:24, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As I said, I'm fairly certain this concept exists, just not under the name given here. I would see nothing wrong with an article being created on the subject using the proper name, assuming that it is properly sourced, and doesn't take a large portion of its content from a Cracked article. Rorshacma (talk) 21:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- We have a valid reason for deletion when the content of an article cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources. However, that does not seem to be the case here: essentially the same content can be found in reliable sources; if the title is a problem, the page can be moved. I do think, though, that this should be part of a larger article on the Hollywood formula for screenplay structure, to which the current page could redirect. An issue with the current text is that it does not recognize that the formula is not suitable for all film scripts. --Lambiam 23:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree with Lambiam. It did occur to me while researching that the amount of info on the internet was miniscule compared to how global and wellknown I assumed the concept was - but I plowed on regardless. It makes a lot of sense if there is a much more common term for the concept. I like the idea of having an article on "the Hollywood formula for screenplay structure" - we can talk about the formula that, say, every rom-com follows - why hollywood wants it every time & why it works everytime. I support a redirect to First culmination or to something like: Conventions in Hollywood with more reliable sources. (Can't help feeling that it's a rather obscure name for the term. Are you sure that's what it's called?)--Coin945 (talk) 03:26, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm fairly sure that the most common name used in studio sessions discussing a screenplay is just "the midpoint" – in that context everyone around the table knows what that refers to. So a possible article title could be "Midpoint (screenplay)". But I see now that we have an article Three-act structure that mentions the concept, calling it "the first turning point", but does not define its position on the time axis as being at the midpoint. With suitable sourcing, the essence of the current article's content could be merged there, essentially stating that the common advice is to have it occur at the midpoint. --Lambiam 15:37, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete or redirect: This term probably fits into a wide range of articles and likely has multiple names, depending on who you consult in the film industry. At your film school or media class it might be called the "1 hour rule" but in a studio or stage it might be called the "first culmination" or even have no name at all. The article topic is too small to warrant a whole article, so this topic should be found in a section of an existing page and/or be a redirect to an existing/nonexistent page. First culmination sounds good, it sounds like an industry name of more appropriate tone, we could write it up so it fits the definition of "1 hour rule".

Non-notable death; Wikipedia is not the news; LedRush (talk) 15:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Undecided :The death is quite recent, and most articles are linking this with the Martin death. Therefore independent notability of this event is questionable. But, most importantly, WP is not the news. However, the death is covered in tons of news sources, just not in great detail and not independently. This one could go either way for me.LedRush (talk) 15:37, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as creator. While it is too soon to tell and coverage may indeed drop after a while, I suspect that it will prove to be notable and continue to be discussed in both news and, after a while, in scholarly books on sociology of the USA; among other things, if it's prosecuted as a hate crime it will be the first murder of a Muslim woman that's officially a hate crime in the United States. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:42, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- no, being notable means long term notability as per WP:EVENT. it is in fact too early to predict future notability. You cannot assume media spikes now are notable in future as per WP:CRYSTAL Unless you think every murder, fatal bus crash deserves a WP article. LibStar (talk) 14:44, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I generally have a very strict view of WP:EVENT and !vote to delete most news-y stuff, because (just as you say) a spike of coverage now doesn't indicate lasting notability, but I do think this one will stay notable because of the uncommon circumstances. Attractive white women go missing and rockets hit Israel all the time, and there's always a flurry of coverage that rarely lasts beyond the original case (I mention these types because we have loads of articles on them when they're completely non-notable), but this may be the first of its kind and even if it isn't it's likely to be an example case in sociology studies and such. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:34, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- notable in the future, comment I am not !voting on this afd, as I have not done WP:BEFORE, but I would say that "it might be notable in the future" is not a valid keep reason.

The result was KEEP. AfD closed as out of process. This Afd arose from a request from a legal authority to delete an article and should have been referred to the WMF, whose legal counsel can determine whether or not it is legally necessary to comply with the order. The advice from the WMF was that no order had been made, this was just a request from a UK police force. Closed without prejudice to a further nomination relating to Wikipedia policy.

I did not know British law enforcement had the right to censor the Internet. Or, in fact I did: just recently an article that used a photo by me disappeared from the on-line version of Daily Mail. I have been wondering how the request, most likely originating from Mart Laar, reached the editorial staff of Mail Online. I now see that "British law enforcement" was part of the chain. I am not arguing against censorship, I can well imagine living in a world where censorship is the rule of the land. What I most object to is sneaky censorship done under a imaginary cover of "freedom of speech." For this freedom we have given up a number of other rights. Let's stick to it!</rant>
- An Estonian war veteran is an entirely different subject. User:Fred Bauder Talk 16:39, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If the suspect is convicted, this would be a case of a serial killer. British serial killers are notable. I cannot see this story going away anytime soon.
- Britain places sever restrictions on reporting of crime cases before or during the trial. A moral dilemma often encountered is when foreign media publishes details that would be illegal to publish in Britain and this information reaches Britain over the Internet or by other means. I can see no such problem in this case; all the sources used are high quality British sources.
- If something really needed to be done in this case then a possible solution would be courtesy blanking with possibly locking of the article or even hiding the version history for the duration of the trial. There is absolutely nothing in Wikipedia policy, that would allow deletion of the article. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What they actually requested was removal of information about the investigation during a certain time frame. I've put it up to the community for consideration. Blanking and protection is one possibility. Hiding of the history goes beyond deletion, even administrators could not see it, but like deletion is reversible following trial.

- Speedy keep. This is not a deletion rationale. It is possible that there are problems with specific details in the article, but these should be brought up individually. It is also more than possible that the event is not notable, but that would have to be discussed in a new AFD, I believe. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:01, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment As the suspect is charged with another crime I wonder if this is not an issue of the need for a news blackout so as not to prejudice the outcome of a second trial - if, indeed, they intend to try the two cases separately. Previous similar instances of this have meant a ban on reporting until all legal proceedings are complete so the suspect is seen to receive a fair trial. As Wikipedia is a media source like any other the same rules must surely apply, and if I am right then presumably they'll be asking all British based media with online content to take it down.
- I know I appear to be in the minority on this, but my gut feeling is that we should remove this content as requested with a view to restoring it at a later date, perhaps also liaising with the agency concerned for advice in that respect. We can either do that by deleting the entire article, or at the very least the information they are concerned about. However, I understand this would set a precedent and potentially open the floodgates for other similar requests.
- This is actually the second high-profile suspicious death to attract controversy recently, so as I hinted above there may be a need to develop a long-term strategy for dealing with articles of this nature, though I have no firm ideas on what we could do. I think the place for that could be BLP, though I'm not entirely sure. I'll investigate today and perhaps open a discussion there later. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:56, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment and futher objection to the way this is now handled. The locked and censored page now states This page has been indefinitely protect in order to conform to the requirements of Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Crime_perpetrators, giving at least a very strong impression that this is community decision or at least follows community guidelines. This is NOT the case. The policy cited does not mandate this drastic form of censorship nor does it make any mention of special treatment of British crime suspects. Do we start bowing to legal demands form every country? Should we delete Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 because it is a collection of criminal hate speech and misinformation? The hat note on the page should clearly state that the decision to censor the page lies with Wikimedia Foundation of the oversighters. It should also explicitly mention the request with a reference number or at least a date, so that the censorship could be challenged in a British court of law. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 21:12, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The article history is not oversighted. Any administrator may view it. There is no English court order, only the Wikipedia policy Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Crime_perpetrators. British law enforcement courteously requested, but did not demand, removal of prejudicial information in order that the defendant could receive a fair trial. Originally, I thought there was no way within policy to remove the material, but Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Crime_perpetrators allows it. User:Fred Bauder Talk 21:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So you are saying that you acted here in a double role: first you acted as an oversighter, but then you instead decided to act a normal administrator. For transparency it would have been far better for you to wait for some other administrator to take the necessary action.

- Delete / keep but without restoring content. We shouldn't be slaves to our policies and guidelines. The reason to temporarily remove this article (either completely or at least the majority of the content) is a matter of common sense. Ensuring someone gets a fair trial is important.

- Comment Having a BLP article running during a UK murder trial or police investigation is fertile ground for disaster, as Murder of Joanna Yeates and Death of Baby P have shown. These articles survived despite all the attempts to add material with libel, privacy and contempt of court issues. At the moment, the deaths involving the man CH are probably not notable enough for a full article, but the UK police request to suppress material available in reliable sources is unacceptable.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This is silly. The coverage on this subject is very, very more than enough to meet notability requirements. And the request from the police is pretty much worthless. We're getting our information on the investigation from reliable sources. Us putting that information here or not doesn't affect the fact that the information is still being stated in those sources, so it is already out there and everyone is already reading it.

- Keep and restore There has been according to Fred Bauder, a request from some officials in the UK to censor a Wkikpedia article, which was previously sourced to reliable sources. The servers are not in the UK, and I have seen no indication that such requests have the force of law. There is no more reason to comply with it than if officials in any other country made a request to censor some article. BLP concerns can be handled by requiring reliable sourcing of any controversial statements, and by using terms such as "alleged" rather than making factual statements of guilt. Edison (talk) 20:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article has little content. The song is not a single or otherwise notable enough to warrant its own page; it is already covered in the King of Limbs album article. The article has only one citation (to a YouTube video) and makes nebulous claims of little value: "received positive feedback from Radiohead fans", "has received over 1 million views altogether on YouTube". The article claims it is the "second best selling song" from the album; this is confusing, as no singles were released from the album, unless this is counting individual iTunes downloads or some such, but there is no citation listed and this alone is not grounds for notability.

- Comment - As I understand it, the article's not specifically about Project Monarch, but the mind-control technique from which the Project took its name. Whether or not this has any place in an encyclopaedia is another matter, but I don't think redirecting to either Cathy O'Brien or Project MKULTRA would be appropriate. Perhaps some info on Project Monarch could be added to Project MKULTRA, though, if reliable sources turn up (which doesn't look likely).

- Whether it's the project to develop the mind control technique or the technique itself seems largely irrelevant to me; both are essentially fictions with no discussions in any real sources - just blogs, online fora and other unreliable sources. As far as I am aware Project Monarch isn't believed to actually exist, at least not by anyone with a shred of credibility, and thus inclusion in Project MKULTRA is inappropriate.

Contrary to what one might think, this is not a geographical name (a Dutch region with an English name would probably be weird enough to be notable). FoodValley is according to its homepage a collaboration between 8 municipalities. The only (non-independent) sources available are two different homepages, a page on the website of the province financing the collaboration, and an abstract of a 1-year research project in a database of unclear importance/relevance (Narcis).

- Are you really doubting the integrity of the Australian national public broadcaster? Would you do the same to the BBC or NPR? Yes, they aren't independent sources (as stated above we are looking for offline sources for that), but the online ABC sources absolutely confirm his employment details and are absolutely reliable. The-Pope (talk) 16:24, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not so much doubting the integrity of the ABC it self, but I was more concerned as the articles being sourced from the place of the subjects employment, they might of been written in a somewhat embellished manner. If more online and offline sources can be found independent of the place of employment such as the one you noted with the Sydney Morning Herald, then I'd be happy to withdraw my vote Whitewater111 (talk) 22:58, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I've noticed this image. It is an old advert. The inscription says that Bílinská kyselka won a Gold Medal in an exhibition in Dresden in 1911(!). The book Města a městečka v Čechách na Moravě a ve Slezsku: díl A-G, (1996), p. 120 (Cities and Towns in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, part A-G) has following information: "In the 17th and 18 century, Bílinská kyselka was a well known mineral water in many cities in Europe, where it was delivered." Another book, Sborník geologických věd: Hydrogeologie, inženýrská geologie: Svazky 4–5 (1966), 27 (Proceedings of Geological Sciences: Hydrogeology and engineering geology: Volumes 4-5) says: "Bílinská kyselka is one of the most renowned mineral waters in Czechoslovakia; it is produced for more than 200 years." Bílinská kyselka is mentioned in the Masaryk's Encyclopedia: People's Encyclopedia of General Knowledge and in other sources, including medical publications. I found the information on the first page of the G-Books result for "Bílinská kyselka". Btw, the word kyselka in the title shouldn't be capitalized. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep or merge I can't find any usable sources which aren't already in the article, but of those, the Chicago Tribune article is definitely suitable for WP:GNG, and the Politico and Today Show ones just about scrape through. However, I think the most appropriate solution is to create an article for the Miss Liberty America pageant (which does pass WP:GNG) or Rutherford B. Hayes (politician) (who might pass the guidelines; having the same exact name as the USA's 19th president makes it ridiculously hard to find sources) and merge the content of this article there. Yunshui 雲水 09:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Having now created the article Miss Liberty America, I'm not convinced it does pass the guidelines - WP:TOOSOON may well apply, since the pageant hasn't actually taken place yet. When it does, I suspect more coverage will appear, but for now... well, there isn't a great deal; probably just enough to pass WP:GNG but not by much.

- Delete There was a United Empire Club on Piccadilly in London, which the 1915 edition of Baedeker (!) describes as for tariff reformers. There is another book source which apparently confirms that it was founded in 1904. There was also a United Empire Club in Toronto founded in 1875, and probably others. I can see no evidence of continuity between these and the body now going by that name, and the ideas of the clubs have nothing in common. I'm sure that there is a lot that could be written about the original United Empire Clubs and the politics of empire which would make interesting reading, but we cannot start from here.

- Keep -- This is a London gentlemen's club. It is certainly not nonsense. The reference to "dormancy" perhaps refers to the club having had periods when it had not premises. Such clubs have played an important role in the upper echaelons of London society. The article may well need some tidying up. Please follow the link to its website. Since it is a London club, and admitting only landed gentry and above, the question of what Americans are eligible is a problem for them. Like Necrothesp , I have no idea whehter the present club is notable. The fact that it was notable at an earlier period should be sufficient for keeping it. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:07, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The difficulty, though, is in determining whether it is the same club, and not one sharing the name. Despite the assertions on the website that it was founded in 1904, there is actually nothing at all there concerning ownership, constitution, etc of the present 'club', nor can I find any trace of that online. If the original club were defunct there would be nothing to stop a private individual or company trading under that name. There is always a reason to be extemely cautious about a website engaging in trading activity which gives no clue as to ownership and which is operating via a company that specialises in web marketing and consultancy even down to the processing of payments. That is true even if everything is legal and above board. The possibility of WP being used as a means of legitimising unproven commercial claims is an important reason why safeguards exist and we have this process. --AJHingston (talk) 21:48, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Whatever its present status, if it was notable in the past, then the article should remain. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:07, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand the argument, but we have to be careful. Take the hypothetical case of two restaurants. One famous and award winning. It closes. Some years later another opens with the same name, but not otherwise connected. We would not be happy with an article about the new restaurant claiming notability on account of its predecessor, and would say that notability is not inherited. Nor would we be happy at an article about the original making reference to the new beyond a statement that they were different establishments. I may be unduly cautious here, but the fact is that we have a case where we seem to have no information about the current 'club' from reliable sources independent of the subject. The situation is even worse than usual, because the website is operated by a third party through whom financial transactions are processed, so we lack even reliable first party information. If the club is indeed based in England there is even a further unusual circumstance since it is normally a legal requirement that those engaged in trade should identify themselves to the customer, yet any statement about its legal status, ownership etc, let alone company registration, seems to me also to be missing. It may be that I have overlooked it, the information may be omitted in error, or there may be some other innocent explanation. But we have to be very cautious because there are occasions when statements are made in BLPs or in reference to companies that prove not only to be unverifiable but actually untrue, and we have to suspect that they were placed in Wikipedia with the deliberate intention to give those claims a degree of veracity. I think we have two choices, therefore. We can retain the article as a stub, but deleting any information which is not known to relate to the original foundation, or to redirect to the List of London's gentlemen's clubs on the grounds that this contains just about all that can reasonably said, unless anyone can come up with more. I favour the latter course, not least because I am concerned that further efforts might be made to introduce information into the article which actually relates to the present entity. For example, I do not see any evidence at all that the original free trade club was composed wholly or mainly of members of the nobility or was particularly secretive, but I can see why it might serve the interests of the operators of the present entity to present it in that way. --AJHingston (talk) 23:37, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. No indication that the firm is notable. Yes, one partner is, but, as we discussed on the prior related AfD, notability is not inherited. This article was created by the same editor who had created (or perhaps was the primary editor of; with the article gone, I cannot check) the now-deleted Gideon Fisher article, and created it immediately after the Gideon Fisher article's deletion, after being one of only two individuals arguing for its retention. He or she is a WP:SPA editor who has made no contributions outside of promoting this firm and seems determined to have an article on either Fisher the firm or Fisher the individual. TJRC (talk) 22:22, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe there are three factors that justify this article: 1. The firm’s founder is a judge in the ICC court. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is the largest business organization in the world so this directly impacts the notability of the firm. 2. Eliyahu Winograd is a key figure in the firm which directly impacts the notability of the firm. I acknowledge that notability of a person does not transfer to another individual but being a key figure in a firm does directly impact the firm. 3. The firm is the only representative from its country in the Parlex group which is also a large international group. Re your comment about me-I am a new wikipedia editor but do have already several of articles that I created in non-english wikipedias. After the debate about Gideon Fisher it seemed to me that it would be more appropriate to have an article on the firm rather than on the individual and that is why I created this article after the personal one was deleted. Please note that I have no connection to this firm (other than knowing it). Malevs (talk) 09:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Notability is not inherited. So the fact that one partner is notable, says nothing about the company. Night of the Big Wind talk 09:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, exactly as Night of the Big Wind says. Malevs's first first point argues for notability inherited from its partner Gideon Fisher; the second point argues for notability inherited from its partner Eliyahu Winograd; the third point argues for notability inherited from Parlex. Because notability is not inherited, none of these are good arguments. The second argument fails on this basis alone, but the other two arguments are on even worse footing, because even absent WP:NOTINHERITED, these arguments are based on claims of notability that have either been refuted (in the case of Gideon Fisher, deleted on notability grounds at AfD) or never established (in the case of Parlex, which has no article and has been twice-deleted, once as a PROD and once as a Speedy WP:A7).

The firm is the only representative from its country in the Parlex group which is also a large international group. Re your comment about me-I am a new wikipedia editor but do have already several of articles that I created in non-english wikipedias. After the debate about Gideon Fisher it seemed to me that it would be more appropriate to have an article on the firm rather than on the individual and that is why I created this article after the personal one was deleted. Please note that I have no connection to this firm (other than knowing it). Malevs (talk) 09:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: This might be best served as a redirect to Flanders Recorder Quartet, as the band itself seems to have notability but I'm not sure that Beets himself does. I'll look for sources, but a redirect is usually the best idea in these situations.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:45, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Protected redirect to Flanders Recorder Quartet. I did a search and while the band itself is very notable, Beets is not notable outside of the span of the group. I didn't see any reliable sources that covered him individually outside of the band. I recommend a protected redirect since I have a feeling that the original editor might try to swiftly revert or recreate the article after its redirected, as evidenced by the swift re-adding of the article to Wikipedia.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:04, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked for WP:RS citations for this and not done well. It might just pass WP:GNG on the basis of the psychological study made on participants by Warwick University, but I find it lacking. The sources I can find seem to be pretty much self referencing and self reverential. So I'm suggesting we delete it as a non notable, albeit large and popular, gathering.

- Delete Typical businessperson, fails WP:BASIC Ms. Ritz or her promoters should wait until she becomes notable enough that a completely independent person writes about her or her business using multiple, substantive, independent, reliable sources. The Oregonian citation is by a "special writer" for the paper's special advertising publications. Usually the Oregonian would be a fine citation, but this citation would only work to establish notability if the article also had a set of multiple independent write-ups about the person.

A completely unofficial name for an area of the city. The entire article is based on a poll ran by a free newspaper, and has nothing to do with the official naming of a neighbourhood. The name has no connection with any official naming by the city, it's simply a casual vote run by a single paper on what some people would like the area to be called. Canterbury Tail talk 02:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - A neighbourhood based on a poll two weeks ago in a free newspaper. While neighbourhoods, and their respective boundaries and names, are always evolving, this has not yet been shown to actually be commonly understood as a separate neighbourhood or as a commonly-used name. Before an article is created, a neighbourhood should be shown through a variety of reliable sources to be widely recognized as a separate and distinct area. I didn't see any of the other sources referring to this as the Harbour District, unless I missed something. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:01, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure if we can find reliable sources 'reliably'. Take a look at all the neighbourhoods of Toronto articles. Many of them rely on unofficial designations, and are mentioned in the map of neighbourhoods of the Toronto Star. That map was made by user contributions to the Toronto Star. But there isn't any other reliable source. Do we go and delete all of those? The official designations of the City of Toronto are specifically only for government reasons and often conflict with local usage. Our practice to this time has not been to challenge those. Don't see why we have to challenge this one, except to say that 'South Core' could be the appropriate name instead. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 15:03, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Can you point to this Toronto Star map that includes the neighbourhood, as I can't find any reference to it on the Toronto Star site, unless I'm misunderstanding the comment and you mean it's used as a source for other neighbourhood names. Canterbury Tail talk 03:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The link is at the bottom of the List of neighbourhoods in Toronto. The map is here. Actually, I think I was going on several years-old memories. A quick check showed there are sources found for neighbourhoods I had concerns about. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 14:47, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - Maybe the best solution is to take the existing content and add it to the Harbourfront article. Make this and 'South Core' redirect to the section in the Harbourfront article. If more sources are found, we can fork it later. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 15:56, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed - Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:49, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Has been shown as a different neighborhood and is developing as such. "South Core" is based upon a real estate moniker. This article is supported by the Toronto WikiProject, and other articles have been written to designate neighborhoods based upon similar information. Wikiworld2 (talk) 23:02, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- How is this "supported" by the Toronto Wikiproject, other than the fact someone slapped a tag on the talk page? As for other neighbourhoods, please read WP:OTHERTHINGSEXIST -- junk articles don't justify more junk articles. And I am unsure of what sources you are basing your other conclusions. We ca't just go creating articles for every unsubstantiated theory about new neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods are unofficial, but are recognized because they are commonly recongized as such and the monicker has stood the test of time. This one satisfies neither of those principles. Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:49, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - seems a little ludicrous given that "CityPlace" has been given a shot.i'm sure at first that entry was just as concerning to some people, albeit not of the seemingly thousands who voted for the name in the first place, versus one or two who complain here. the area is clearly referenced in the articles as included - CBC, The Star & The Grid. this s a newly developing part of the city and I wonder if the Wikipedians complaining have even been to this part of the city. definitely a keeper, there are real buildings here being built by real developers. the article on the cbc reference clearly states that this is part of efforts to create a new neighborhood and satisfies for me an entry into Wikipedia. Do the others here complaining even live in the city abecause i can confirm the reality of this new area with my own eyes. Grapejuicedrink (talk) 21:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Delete - from the article in The Grid; "Nearly a thousand of you [voted], and with one-fifth of the votes, crowned a clear winner: The Harbour District." This area name was voted on by about 200 people in poll in a free newspaper. The name has no merit - certainly there's no indication that the city endorses it. Additionally, the area appears to overlap with Harbourfront. PKT(alk) 00:08, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Neither the CBC article nor The Star article make any mention of this name for the area and are nothing to do with naming a new neighbourhood. Incidentally also in the area being touted in this article as a new neighbourhood, most of the buildings in that area are 10 years old or more, not new builds. Also what is being claimed in this article as this new named neighbourhood may want to check with the rest of the Harbourfront neighbourhood that is clearly labelled all over the area as Harbourfront. Walking by the Harbourfront signs just today there was no indication they are being changed to say Harbour District. Additionally even if it was a new official neighbourhood being created, it doesn't encompass the harbour, it just has what 2 quays into the harbour with the vast majority of the harbour being outside this "Harbour District." 200 people voting in a free newspaper poll and no other references to it as the name of a neighbourhood, officially or not, does not a name and new neighbourhood make. Do any references actually exist of this name outside this newspaper poll? I can't locate any (doesn't mean they don't exist, just that I can't locate them.) All articles must be verifiable, this isn't. Canterbury Tail talk 03:06, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I think the dispute that arises is here is with the name Harbour District - unfortunately, the argument is being misdirected. This is UNDOUBTEDLY a legit new area in Toronto. it might be easier to merge the original post with Harbourfront and fork it as was suggested earlier. I don't agree with this approach. A poll was held, and that certainly outnumbers the three or four Wikipedians here arguing for delete. A poll was held, and the new name was decided. I will agree that the content should be forked at a later date if that's what the general conscience decides. South Core now redirects here. Should the redirect be set up to redirect from this page AND South Core back to Harbourfront (despite that being a verifiable different part of the city)? Wikiworld2 (talk) 22:06, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's hogwash, Wikiworld2, because of the numbers and facts I cited. Less than 0.04% of the city's population (2.6 million people) participated in the poll, and about 0.01% of the city's population voted for the fabricated name. The city doesn't endorse the name, either. The poll was held by a marginal, free newspaper. It counts for nothing. PKT(alk) 15:14, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikiworld2, I think you have completely misconstrued people's comments. It isn't just about the name. And it isn't "undoubtedly a legit new area" - a few media mentions does not a recognized neighbourhood make. It's an area that is effectively a couple of blocks wide, part of Harbourfront, with the South Core office buildings arguably being an extension of the Financial District. And your comments about a silly internet poll taking precedence over consensus here are directly contrary to Wikipedia policy and guidelines.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:30, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Keep. The only rationale for deletion was that the season did not exist; it does now. No prejudice against a merge, if contributors should decide that this is actually an extended Season 5 or that iCarly needs only one article. Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:16, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Season does not exist. Repeatedly re-created. – Confession0791 talk 12:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The season is supposed to start on March 24th, a week from now. I'm not as familiar with episode listings, but considering that the season will be starting soon, would that mean that it should be kept? I'm not making a decision one way or another since I'm not very aware of this particular thing, but wanted to voice that the season will be starting incredibly soon.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The show's seasons are very complicated but it's labeling is apparently different in both the filming cycle and airing cycle from Season 3 and onward. There's evidence supporting the network's decision to split the 45 episodes produced in the show's second production cycle into two airing seasons. So this upcoming season while being produced as and being the real Season 5 would technically be airing as Season 6 as other websites have it listed as. - Jabrona - 17:30, 19 March 2012

- Merge I've about had it with all this crap surrounding iCarly. Page protections don't help a bit, because the majority of it is coming from existing registered users. A merge is desperately needed, as it would make everything much, much easier to patrol. Tarc is right. Cut down all of this cruft. Get rid of all of the pointless notes and "absent" labels in the episode summaries. Leave it at 2–3 sentences. There's absolutely no reason for all of the "trivia" in them. An episode summary on the season 3 article even makes a note that Gary Coleman grills were featured in Drake & Josh. Is that really so important? Just merge all six of them and get rid of all the unimportant stuff. Kevinbrogers (talk) 01:24, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree something has to be done about this. I see that there is no season 6. there is a discussion going on here [48] if we can get an Admins help here I think it would be a good idea. As far as merging all the season into one page, I don't think its a very good idea. The main page was getting to long and thats why it was split to begin with. with all ready 100 episodes it will just be too long. I think it is fine a the monmment. Like I said the season &3 issue has to be solved or 4 & 5 need to be merged into one season.141.110.189.29 (talk) 21:39, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
