Nod, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that somebody could come in and salvage this article.

• Keep, just short of speedy keep. The article's external links have two reliable source interviews of him, including one in three parts. His third place in 1999 is ireelevant to notability. What matters is independant coverage in third party reliable sources. He has it, though obviously the article could be improved with refs. 2005 ( talk) 20:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Thousands of poker players have short bio's written up on them. That is not an indication of notability, it is one of existence. The two interviews do give some credence, but I'd still want more. Interviews are not all that uncommon---speciality presses are often looking for "news". If there are actual articles about him, then I'd more than willingly withdraw. There is just too much crap to find articles about him.--- Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 22:19, 9 May 2010 (UTC) reply

My problem with a lot of these poker articles is that they are of people who are less meaningful than local politicians. Local politicians/radio/tv personalities may have some coverage, but outside of the poker world they are non-entities---even within the poker world, their notability is nominal at best.--- Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 05:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Comment While I agree with you, and I believe the article should be deleted, I would caution that "not meaningful" does not necessarily translate into "not notable" -- Something with meaning implies that individuals place value on it, and that drags in point-of-view.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 13:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC) reply

• Merge and redirect to The Towering Inferno. The notability of the movie "The Towering Inferno" does not automatically make the fictional tower itself notable. The Glass Tower was created solely for that one movie, and much of this page talks about filming locations and how various movie scenes were created. To my knowledge, the purposes of several floors were explicitly mentioned in the in-movie dialogue; this could be incorporated into the movie article in a section regarding the tower itself. The name "Glass Tower" is clearly a plausible search term for the movie, but I couldn't locate a sufficient number of reliable independent sources to justify keeping this page separate from the article about the movie. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk) 19:06, 9 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Unreferenced bio since it creation in 2005. I looked around and could not verify any of the facts stated in the article. Googlesearching produces mostly Wikipedia mirrors or pages where the info looks to have been lifted from Wikipedia.

Contested prod with some WP:COI issues. The article makes some claims to notability but I don't think they're enough. The article suggests he's been "recognized" by DrivingSales.com but it looks to me like he's just listed there among a laundry list of other people where folks can place reviews. Most of the rest is very peacockish. The last link, to a press release, perhaps contains some salvageable notability claims but I think they skate at the boundary.

Based on Table of administrative divisions by country, Norwich is a third level authority: first level would be the equivalent of US state and in terms of England, the provincial equivalent would be the Regions of England, only one of which (London) has its own council. Numerous previous AFDs have judged that local councillors on smaller cities don't meet the criteria and for good reason - if we set the bar that low we'd have millions of articles to deal with. Valenciano ( talk) 16:58, 9 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Except that the regions have no elected assembly. The equvalent to a US state in terms of elected representives are the counties, unless you are saying that the next level of elected representation does not count? Slatersteven ( talk) 17:21, 9 May 2010 (UTC) reply

The regions of England are clearly the equivalent of a province. In the absence of an assembly covering those regions then yes, the next level of government doesn't by default become a province. Otherwise that would lead to the nonsensical situation that in the future if an East of England Assembly was set up, councillors would then cease to be notable.

Pit Bull

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

I dispute the need for an article explaining the use of the term ,pit bull, in legislation in the USA. Wikipedia is used by more than just americans. Bullterriers, English Staffords, bull dogs ect, are not classed as pit bulls in Australia, Europe, the UK and various other countries. These countries see Pitbulls as American Pitbulls and have laws specifically controlling or out lawing them specifically not these other breeds as-well. So an article referring to bull and terrier breeds under the US legislative term of Pitbull is confusing and just plain wrong to boot. So surly this should have being considered when writing a topic on the meaning of the term Pitbull. Considering the information is read by more than just americans, so should therefore be relevant to more than just americans as-well. I propose that the discussion on the use of the term Pitbull in US legislation should be a section in a article about American dangerous dog laws or something of the sort, not a whole subject on it own. We have enough trouble with these other breeds being confused with Pitbulls, with out an encyclopedia article referring to them as such. The more common use of the word should be the bulk of an article on the the term Pitbull. Which would be to simply say that it is just a shortened down or slang way of saying, American Pitbull Terrier, which would not need its own article either, only a reference to such on the American pit bull page. This article smears all these other breeds with the pit bull brush when 99% of the articles information refers specifically to the American pit bull terrier. Such sections relating to bite statistics, harm from pitbulls ect. Make it seem that these other breeds are included in the statistics when they actually refer specifically to the American pitbull terrier exclusively. This article just adds to the confusion about these breeds. Say if some one was to read this article trying to find out if an, English Stafford, was a good dog to get. They would finish reading thinking that the are a type of or closely related to the pitbull, when theres actually hundreds of years of difference in breeding between these two breeds. They would think there potentially dangerous which they generally are not. It just makes things to confusing which is exactly the opposite thing an encyclopedia is supposed to do.

Redirect to the article Aomori, Aomori. The school is operated by the City. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Education says "Most elementary and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability are now getting merged or redirected in AfD, with high schools being kept except where they fail verifiability. Schools that don't meet the standard typically get merged or redirected to the school district that operates them (North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere) rather than being completely removed from the encyclopedia."

• Keep and expand the article, which does now assert notability per WP:ANYBIO in that the subject " has received a notable award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times".

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

Article is purely original research. Although several sources are cited, none of them substantiates the main theme of the article, which is that there is a definable area of Denver known as the South West Side. Article has been tagged as original research for several months. There was some discussion of Denver neighborhoods and areas in User talk:Orlady/Archive 10#North Denver, but no source that I've seen supports the existence of this particular name. Other articles exist for individual neighborhoods, so deletion of this article would not deprive users of verifiable information. Orlady ( talk) 13:32, 8 May 2010 (UTC) reply

I am also nominating the following related articles for deletion for essentially the same reason:

North Denver, Colorado (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

West Denver, Colorado (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

There are a few other articles about areas of Denver that have similar issues, but that I am not nominating at this time because either: (1) the article cite at least one source that sort of supports the existence of an area by that name or (2) I found an area of that name on this map. People more familiar with Denver may, however, want to add some additional articles to this nom. -- Orlady ( talk) 13:45, 8 May 2010 (UTC) reply

• Delete all. My first reaction was that there might once have been communities by these names that once existed but were later absorbed by Denver or another suburb, but I couldn't find any evidence of this. I agree that North Denver, Colorado and West Denver, Colorado should both be deleted. I checked Geographic Names Information System at http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/ to try to locate any references to current or historical places by either name. Since GNIS also has listings for some schools and hospitals, presumably because these are often included in maps, I found West Denver Preparatory Charter School and Denver West Surgery Center, but nothing for West Denver or North Denver on their own.

• Delete all I agree that that these articles are original research. I am very familiar with the Denver Metro area and understand what the original author intended, but there is no documentation of these areas and there are no borders, they are general referenced .Denver uses a neighborhood system to separate areas. The Denver neighborhoods are specific, well documented and have clear geographical borders. Dbkilo ( talk) 18:42, 9 May 2010 (UTC) reply
