No evidence of notability. Just a random artist. Also, from those 10 references of article, 2 are Youtube videos, one facebook page is cited, one time is cited Indiegogo and 2 times is cited Monstercat (associated label).

Completely unsourced article about a short film, released as far as I can tell only on YouTube, which makes no substantive claim of notability under WP:NFILM. I'm certainly not questioning the notability of the filmmaker's book I Hate Myselfie, but the short films he made in connection with it don't seem to have the independent notability necessary to stand alone as separate articles of their own — we don't, for instance, actually have an article about the first film in the series. I believe that a redirect to I Hate Myselfie is what's called for here; we can certainly touch on the short films briefly in the book's article (which is in need of significant expansion anyway), but don't need a separate article about the film as a separate topic in its own right.

The result was delete. The rough consensus here is that the book lacks reliable sources needed to show notability for an independent article. Consensus did not support the student newspaper as reliable, and there is no real consensus the Midwest Book Review is reliable either.

I'm the paid editor on this one. As far as I can recall, college newspapers go through the editorial process, WP:BKCRIT, Item 1, reads: "This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists,[4] and reviews." Though not authoritative, WP:BKTS states that belonging to a national registry is a "nice to have." Library of Congress
If we are not going to abide by the published guidelines, and add other hurdles, I suggest that the guidelines be modified to reflect this and save everyone the trouble. Believe me, if the Wikipedia does not want these articles, I don't want to tell the client I can write them. But, I only have the policies and guidelines to go by.
I learned today that the book project(s) are not interested in review rankings, only reviews from professional critics. (So if you are not connected, your book goes nowhere on Wikipedia?) The film project seems to appreciate viewer aggregates -- go figure. Just for completeness: This deletion discussion appears to be the result of someone digging through my contributions while there is an ongoing discussion in AfC for another article earlier today.
Finally, I'm not finding where a WorldCat count has clear bearing on notability and why the nominating party is diverging from the guidelines. -- 009o9 ( talk) 21:36, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Some proposed edits on Talk:Lo Mein (book), I was halfway through a clean up when I remembered that the Lo Mein is in Article space, so I can't add the edit within TOU. Should satisfy the Nobility guideline if I'm allowed to cite it. 009o9 ( talk) 23:10, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply
I fail to see a single usable referece.

The two additional ones are student newspapers, which are not reliable for book reviews, since they do not go through a professional editing process. The ones in the article are either from blogs, which in this context are not reliable/. The "finding aid" from the Library of Congress is simply their catalog record. A catalog record for a book does not mean its notable. it is simply outside the bounds of rationality than a popular fiction book that is in only 6 libraries can possibly be notable, and nobody but a coi editor would think so. Sunch coutnts are a shortcut, but they indicate very well why no reliable source has ever thought the book worth reviewing. DGG ( talk ) 06:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply

The Wikipedia entry for Student newspaper says that student newspapers are often integrated with the Journalism curriculum, which I would tend to agree is true in the colleges that have a journalism program. The University of Washington Journalism program is #28 in the US, Notre Dame Journalism is #927. I guess the "blog" you are referring to is curledup . com, which appears to have some editorial controls it appears some reviews are solicited, but the reviewer that panned Lo Mein is listed on the "Staff" page.
Actually, Eringer is blackisted in literary circles, "The Greatest Vendetta on Earth" (Salon) is a pretty interesting read. His great sin was becoming involved in persuading a tabloid journalist to work on other books rather than the book that his client (Feld Ringling Bros.) did not want published. From this and other escapades, there is no other author that I can think of who's life has been written about more in recent decades.
As for clarifying the Wikipedia guidelines for books, you might examine [2]. If there is a caveat that the reviews must be a paid content-experts and working with organizations with Wikipedia's "imprimatur," the "review" term in BKCRIT 1 should probably have a footnote or link. A clarification might save everyone a lot of trouble. -- 009o9 ( talk) 09:57, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete I cannot find any significant sources for this book. The publisher (if I have the right URL) seems to have gone out of business ( [3]), so it isn't easy to find information about it (e.g. is this a self-published book?). The fact of a Library of Congress copy merely means that copies were sent to the copyright office, as per copyright registration. The author is not included in any Booklist reviews (and Booklist reviews most books from US publishers). Rainbo Reviews does not appear to be an RS, and in any case the review is a single sentence. It is odd that the only substantial reviews are in student papers and one "scholarly blog" (but still a blog). LaMona ( talk) 17:14, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Thanks for your explanation LaMona on your vote, Publisher's Weekly, [4] has 50 references to Corinthian Books, 23 titles on Open Library ranging from 1999 to 2006 it looks like one of the recessions got them. Lo Mein is in the middle of a series of three books that has Jeff Dalkin as the lead character. The third book, Spookaroonie (2002) [5] got a little more attention. I believe that this series is the author's jump from non-fiction to fiction. Due to Dalkin's Tourette syndrome induced foul language, this is likely not a series that libraries are going to go out of their way to catalog. Lo Mein, [6] has 11 WorldCat listings, Spookaroonie [7] has 16 WorldCat listings, one of them Harvard College Library if that means anything.
I'm checking the cites to see if this might be rolled into a three book article centered around the fictional character Jeff Dalkin, who's language from Lo Mein has made it into an Urban Slang Dictionary. [8] -- Cheers -- 009o9 ( talk) 05:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Not sure what you mean by the "foul language" quote, but libraries 1) catalog everything they buy 2) contain lots of foul language. If libraries don't buy the book it means that they either a) don't receive requests for it from their readers, b) it isn't from a publisher in their buying profile, and/or c) it didn't appear in the review sources they rely on (like Booklist). Also, OpenLibrary has no inclusion policy -- it attempts to gather information on "every book ever written," and accepts user-provided data, so inclusion in OL for books is like inclusion in IMDB for movies. That PW includes some Corinthian books but not this one is a strike AGAINST this book in terms of notability. I do see the PW review for Spookaroonie, but a PW review alone (<300 words) does not provide notability, and definitely not inherited notability. LaMona ( talk) 16:34, 10 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Editor comment: The editorial structure for the Notre Dame Observer can be found on page 10 [9]. The author of the Lo Mein book-review from Notre Dame is now a PhD and an assistant professor of French. [10] The managing editor of The Leger, University of Washington, was Regina Chynoweth for 2000-01 and Mary Roeder for 2001-02 [11] (page 3).

Correct, the above demonstrates that there was editorial oversight in place and in effect at the time of the writing. Could it be that Journalism and editorial policy is actually taught at colleges?

  • Delete, I find myself in complete agreement with LaMona, despite the article creator's large wall of text dumped here.

Consensus/clarification needed Another editor has voted commented on and is modifying the article that up for discussion.

the additional of unreliable sources is not an improvement. In terms of improvement, though, the paragraph from "Curled-Up" is not reliable either, and despite the improvements that Drmies made in it, I think it equally should be removed from the article. That leaves no quotes from a review, because there are no RS reviews to quote. DGG ( talk ) 04:36, 12 August 2015 (UTC) reply
009o0, my edits were mostly cosmetic and, I would like to say, helped the article. Statements like "The protagonist's Tourette Syndrome is purposely developed to the point of tedium" can't be simply part of a plot summary (which requires no secondary sourcing) since it's clearly a matter of literary interpretation. The background stuff on the writer's career, that really had no place here since nothing in it related to this particular book. As for EDITATAFD, there's nothing in there that would have prevented my edits or would prevent you from improving the article: go for it, I say. Drmies ( talk) 17:08, 12 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to author's page. Sometimes student newspapers can be usable, depending on who publishes them and how prestigious the newspaper is considered. For example, an article in The Daily Princetonian would be something that could be usable since they've won a good number of awards and are well thought of. The student newspaper from my alma mater likely would not, as the newspaper is fairly tiny and hasn't really won any awards that I can remember. Whether these two could be used are somewhat iffy since they're run independently of their schools and are entirely student-run, which puts a monkey wrench into things. The other sources aren't the type that would show notability, so all we have here are two sources that are weak at best (assuming we can use them as a RS). We'd really need to have more than this to firmly establish that this book could have an article outside of its author. (Full disclosure, I've declined an AfC submission about another book by this author.) The thing about the "two or more non-trivial published works" is that it's fairly rare that an article will be kept on two book reviews unless those reviews are from incredibly well thought of publications that put a lot of thought and depth into the work, pretty much along the lines of Michiko Kakutani reviewing something in the New York Times and even then I'm not sure that a review by her (along with a review by an equally well thought of literary critic) would be enough for an article. The type of sources that would hold that much weight are usually books published through academic/scholarly publishers and even then they'd have to make a strong assertion of notability in the work.

Editor's recap Since I can't get a yes/no answer whether I (a paid writer) can edit the article in AfD while in the mainspace, I recap here. I appreciate the votes to keep the redirect and I'm planning to start a RfC concerning the NBOOK guidelines not meeting the expectations many of the editors here, so others won't run into the same problem.

Notability, here was intended to go to NBOOK (W:NBCRIT) #5 as a "discriminate collection" ( WP:DISCRIMINATE) of the author's works (The author is notable for his non-fiction, but nice to have a fiction sample).

  1. . A phrase from the book has made the Routledge Slang Dictionary, 2008 and 2015 [15] [16]
  2. . The book was reviewed in Notre Dame Observer, [17] that author is now a PhD holding assistant French professor, [18] (editorial oversight structure is demonstrated above).
  3. . An MSM book review has turned up as the Google spiders work continue to dig back to 2000, a short review from a paper owned by, Townnews. [19]
  4. . A review in the University of Washington Ledger, the staff of that paper is currently paid, (editorial oversight structure is demonstrated above). [20]
  5. . As an NBCRIT prerequisite, the book must be listed in the country's registry, Lo Mein is listed in the Library of Congress, [21] has 11 entries in WorldCat not 6. [22]

Since I don't have consensus to edit in the articlespace and other editors have removed content, I'm keeping an updated version in my sandbox. [23] Here is what I've found on guidance for college newspapers:

WP:UNIGUIDE: Student-published college newspapers and university-published press releases are generally reliable sources for verifying information, but these sources are not as strong a source to demonstrate notability as mainstream news organizations, and they should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

In this case, both college sources have nationally ranked journalism programs(noted above), an editorial structure has been demonstrated (above) and both are WP:INDY from any bias the college itself may impose. Once again, the claim here is that the author ( Robert Eringer) is notable and a discriminate collection of his work is allowable under WP:BKCRIT #5 009o9 ( talk) 03:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC) P.S. the more I look at the Lo Mein topic, the more Google seems to dig up on it. 009o9 ( talk) 03:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: Here's the thing, and the takeaway you should learn from this experience: If significant coverage of the topic you are thinking about writing an article on occurs only in two college newspapers and a blog, it does not meet notability, so do not write an article on it. That much I think should be obvious to anyone who is not involved. Your arguments about where the book is listed are specious and have nothing to do with notability for books. Lastly, Robert Eringer is not sufficiently notable that anything he ever set his pen to might merit a Wikipedia article; the fact that you believe this to be true shows either your lack of understanding of Wikipedia, or your over-involvement with this article. While it is expected that article creators will wish to defend their creations at AfD, you are really going off on a deep end here. The only thing that has merit in your last post is the Argus Observer review. If there had been a handful of periodical reviews like that, it might have conferred notability. But two college newspapers and a blog do not, and none of those should even be entering this discussion. Softlavender ( talk) 13:41, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • @Softlavender, if that is the case, then the term, "and the author's life" should be removed from WP:BKCRIT #5. Currently, the guideline does not say that the author is required to be notable for his books, which is why I wrote the article on it. Otherwise, I'm sure that there are a handful of reviews out there like the Argus Observer buried in newspaper archives. Like I said, I will read up on how to take this to RfC, the guidelines do not represent the expectations here. 009o9 ( talk) 16:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Yes, please read WP:APPNOTE. WikiProject Cooperation is not directly related to Lo Mein (book), and this is an AfD, not a discussion of paid editing (which by the way WikiProject Cooperation is also not directly related to even if it were). Softlavender ( talk) 04:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply
This is very much paid about editing, otherwise why would it be mentioned in the nomination? The WikiProject Cooperation article lede paragraph reads as follows: The Cooperation Wikiproject facilitates collaboration with editors paid to edit Wikipedia. We provide education and outreach to public relations and marketing professionals, freelance editors, and employees working on assignments from their employers.
Additionally, the nominator left this on my talk page concerning this discussion: Most people here only tolerate paid editors very reluctantly, and you are not likely to get the benefit of the doubt. This has so far not come up principally with books and authors--its come up mostly with businessmen and companies, and the current trend is to find some reason to delete anything by a paid editor unless it is unquestionably notable and unquestionably neutral. [24] 009o9 ( talk) 05:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply
I misread the WikiProject as Wikiproject Corporation, mistaking it for WP:WikiProject Business. In any case, this is NOT a discussion about paid editing; it is an AfD, and you should NOT have canvassed on WikiProject Cooperation. No one in this entire AfD discussion has mentioned paid editing except you. DGG mentioned it in his nomination as something that at AfC needs careful scrutiny. None of the actual !voters or discussers have mentioned it, and it has no bearing on our !votes. I am not familiar with LaMona, but I can assure you that Drmies, Tokyogirl79, Randykitty, and even DGG are very experienced, very thoughtful, very fair, and very circumspect Wikipedia editors and !voters, and we are basing our opinions on the merits, not on COI (which as I mentioned, only you have brought up, time and again). I think you should take to heart what DGG stated in the post you linked -- you are letting your COI blind you, and your endless attempts to sway the matter are actually doing you and your goals a disservice rather than the reverse. Softlavender ( talk) 06:33, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply
I disagree with your opinion on notifying Wikiproject Corporation, this discussion is clearly of interest to that group. Besides, with the well published Wikipedia bias against paid editing, none of them are going to vote here. I want them to be aware of the moving the goal post and subjective reference evaluation tactics that are practiced in AfD.
It is funny, you just listed the exact same set of delete voters from my other AfD [25]. (1384 administrators, and I've drawn the same several twice, voting lock step, I should play the lottery.) They were more careful not to announce their paid editing bias in that discussion, but when they notified each other, "canvassing" as you put it, they were very clear about the content being paid in those communications. I would address a simple refImprove tag, just as diligently on the article's talk page as an Afd, but my first two nominations went straight to speedy or AfD without any other comment. Thus, the difference between a normal discussion and a public deletion discussion is the paid disclosure. Another article, judged "probably notable" by the nominator is now in MfD, while still in AfC. [26]-- 009o9 ( talk) 16:53, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply

The deaths in Disney World have a twinge of twisted humor; the murder spree exacts the ultimate revenge on the Disneyfication of the world. If any greater lesson is to be derived from "Lo Mein" it's Eringer's denouncement of the irrational litigation rampant in American society compiled with the large amounts of power in the hands of such entities as Walt Disney and CNN."

No redirect, as "3D art" has two specific meanings in art, neither of which is this: as another name for sculpture, particularly things like bas-relief which aren't always thought of as "sculptures", and as a term of art in computing for the calculations which produce 2-dimensional output which appears to depict three-dimensional objects (think Pixar). –  iridescent 21:58, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Most the sources and information of any rookie group on Wikipedia only includes their charts, sales etc, GFriend being a 6 months old rookie and already being on the rise, i pretty much believe they are notable enough to have their own wiki page. GFriend has many activities but due to people removing it again and again on their page, we decided to only keep the major appearances like on Running man and King Of Mask Singer, compared to the other rookies that also do have a wikipedia page like for example Sonamoo, GFriend is the one at the upper hand when it comes to activities, recognition and notability. I believe this article should stay, GFriend had their second comeback 3 days ago and the activities you claim that they lack will also come along. If you request for GFriend's page deletion then it should apply to the other rookie pages that have the exact same amount of information on them. So like i said, the deletion of this page would be very out of place and one sided. ( talk) 2:00, 26 July 2015
    • Comment I wanted to add in here that guest appearance are not usually considered notable but for large programs I would be willing to see an exception if they got into it during the debut year because that does show huge advancement. However aside from the groups 2 music videos none of the filmography section is sourced, that means the all the shows cameos ect.. Also the only sources for the music videos are there official YouTube Videos. Peachywink ( talk) 14:17, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply
      • Comment It's my mistake that i did not source them properly, i took the part of editing G-Friend's wiki page for all these months, and i'm willing to fix my mistakes and properly source because i'm still learning how to edit on wikipedia i did not do it intentionally. The official link of their YouTube MV is enough of a reference that the MV was indeed released under their name and their company's name, useless articles saying "G-Friend has released their new M/V" Seemed useless to me thus i didn't cite them., i was actually already planning to go through all the sources and re-source and remove what's a filler in fact. I still stand by my point that this article should be kept, G-Friend is showing a huge, huge advancement, and just as we speak their company updated their schedule with MV featuring on other artists' songs, appearances etc, so again like i said, G-Friend out of all the rookies right now, is indeed the most notable one and it makes absolute no sense to me that their article should be removed. The sourcing will be fixed now.-- Soyeony ( talk) 17:30, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply
        • I can understand forgetting to source something and during the time the page is up for discussion you are free to fix those issues to try to establish the groups notability. As for Music video sourcing the reason just the YouTube videos don't work is because it just shows the video exists not the fact that it's notable. To do that you need to find an article, it doesn't have to be real long but it can't be 2 sentences, That talks about the music video. To be honest most k-pop pages fail to adhere to this standard but it is in fact still a standard. So if you can find an article talking about the video reaching a million views quickly or discussing the video itself for almost any reason that would be a better source than just the YouTube video. Here is Lady Gaga's page Lady Gaga videography, while this page is NOT a perfect example, you can see that the music videos are sourced using articles about the video rather than the videos themselves. Peachywink ( talk) 19:49, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply
          • Comment Indeed, just like you said, KPOP tends to fail to that standard, but i still went back and sourced what i could find on Mwave and Naver which are considered notable since i checked many KPOP pages on wikipedia and they source from them and i will continue to do so until the article will be considered well sourced and up to the standard. For the music video appearances however, for the member Sowon to be specific, that i can't cite, because that happened when she was still a trainee in another company couple years ago, i added her appearances in GFriend's article because i believe that a new G-Friend fan or someone that didn't know would like to see the member of their favorite group appear in an MV, but sadly i can't source it since like i said it happened years ago and she was just a trainee so you can't find any articles about her in that time frame. The other parts of the article i sourced most of it and what's left un-sourced will be sourced soon, i'll go get the articles from Korean portals since the English articles i find are mostly from Allkpop and sites alike that are not reliable. Again, having their article deleted just for that is harsh and excuse me for what i'm going to say but it seems a very biased judgement to me, Lovelyz, Sonamoo and i can go on and on they all lack the exact same thing as G-Friend's page that's why it seems to me that it was a biased decision in the first place to nominate this page for deletion. My standpoint is very clear, the article should be kept, i don't think of it as a filler like you do, and as a follower of the group since the day they debuted it doesn't contain any wrong information either. -- Soyeony ( talk) 20:46, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Observation: Pagot was born in the small town of Conegliano near Venice, from a modest family. Splendid. I'm sure we're all in favor of modesty. Would those who think that the article is worthwhile perhaps purge the section "Career and Personal Life" for what might strike the biographee as immodesty? As it is, this section is sopping with peacockery (and perhaps BS), inclining me toward deletion. -- Hoary ( talk) 03:04, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Observation: The observation above is gratuitous and vitriolic for no reason: many biographies on Wikipedia start like that, it puts the person in context, opposed to 'from a wealthy family and a silver spoon in his mouth' background or 'son of 'insert famous parent'. I have met Franz, he is very humble and modest, a hard working no nonsense person, and a self made successful cinematographer. There is no peacockery or self congratulating bs, and I am sure he did not write or submit his Wikipedia entry either. Why there are 'people' wasting time trying to delete this entry truly baffles me.... envy maybe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acquadiva ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • "... an elite army unit ... in various well known advertising agencies ... highly commended work ... one of the best ads ever ... the blockbuster Happy New Year ... several black belts in many disciplines (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Kickboxing)", etc. As a modest person, Pagot would, I expect, be appalled by this kind of talk. -- Hoary ( talk) 02:23, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep When someone like Franz pagot has a career spanning way before the advent of Internet it is very difficult to find a reference online of certain facts, and that goes for most people, including celebrities. It is unquestionable Franz Pagot has a successful career with some great achievement and there are plenty of references in the article. Notability is proved, no doubt, allso with his work for important charities, all you need to do is check the cover of one of his books Immersive 3-D and you'll se that on the cover it states clearly that all proceeds will go to two Children hospitals. See here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0956818072, it also mentions in the book he is friend of Oscar winner (Slumdog Millionaire) Resul Pookutty, who wrote a section of the book. Franz pagot is obvioulsy well known and well respected amongst his peers in the film industry. — 62.192.26.217 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Delete His book "immersive photography" is not even in worldcat; his novels are, but they are self published, and in either 1 or zero libraries. Not possibly notable as an author. Ashe haswon no major awards, I'm a little skeptical of the claims. He does not seem to have been director of photography of any major films. His role in Prince of Thieves was as "stedicam utility", a very subsidiary position . Well-respected by his peers" even if it could be proven, is not notability.

As someone playing for one of that leagues founder clubs, I think the article is worth keeping.

The result was Delete. This is a combination ofa WP:SNOW deletion and a speedy deletion under speedy deletion criterion G4 (Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). Criterion G4 refers to "a sufficiently identical and unimproved copy, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion". There is always room for debate as to what is "sufficiently identical and unimproved", and this time there has been a careful attempt to avoid deletion by putting at the top of the article a trivial amount of information about something which was not the subject of the article previously discussed, and using that trivial content as the basis of the title of the new article. However, it is clear that in fact this article is in fact a re-creation of an article deleted numerous times under different titles, and discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KunLun fight. The trivial content about one contest organised by "KunLun Fight" placed at the top of the page, above the main content of the article, is not sufficient to alter the fact that it is essentially the same article. In addition to that, there is no realistic chance that this one competition organised by a non-notable company would have been found notable enough to keep anyway. I will also mention that the editor who created this article (a) has created it numerous times under numerous titles and it has been deleted each time, and (b) has previously been blocked for repeatedly creating articles following deletion at AfD.

This article contains no citations to reliable third party sources about the subject. The biographical information tracks the (self-written) biography from Professor Waugaman’s personal page at Georgetown University [4]. To my knowledge there are no reliable third party biographies of Professor Waugaman that are not based on his self-written biography.

:By that, do you mean that the article makes use of professor Waugaman's cv and other professionally relevant documents? I've added an abundance of new material to the article - frankly it was pretty weakly written, but what can we expect from a publisher that empowers Mr. Reedy to define what constitutes a "reliable source." I've done the best I can as a first pass to clean it up. If you folks are going to delete this, you ought to at least delete a version of the article that doesn't make Wikipedia look incompetent, wouldn't you agree?-- BenJonson ( talk) 21:58, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply

It is unclear what aspect of Professor Waugaman’s work meets the requirement of WP:N. Though the current article does not refer to his professional affiliation with Georgetown University or his position as a clinical track professor emeritus -- possibly because these were in the title of his personal page at Georgetown and therefore not part of the text that was paraphrased in writing the WP page -- it would seem to fall within the scope of WP:SCHOLAR, and the criteria listed there.

Per WP:SCHOLAR, “Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study.” Dr. Waugaman’s Google Scholar entry lists a number of works published in the areas of psychoanalysis, psychology and Shakespeare studies. Many of these have been cited in subsequent works; but on closer examination, the overwhelming number of citations in the field of Shakespeare scholarship were in later works by Professor Waugaman. Though Professor Waugaman has published many works on Shakespeare, many of the publications were in journals dedicated to the Oxfordian fringe theory of Shakespeare authorship.

His scholarship has had negligible impact on the field. Gary Taylor, George Matthew Edgar Professor of English at Florida State University, writing as co-editor of Italian scholarly journal Memoria di Shakespeare, wrote to Waugaman about a paper submitted for publication that it “seem to me profoundly unscholarly, and . . . would have the effect of undermining the credibility and status of other contributions to the volume.” [5] This is not submitted with the POV that Taylor is right and Waugaman is wrong; only as evidence that Waugaman’s scholarship has been largely ignored and has had no notable impact on the field.

Everymorning, have you by any chance actually read any of Dr. Waugaman's scholarly articles, or are you shooting in the dark here, and counting on the reliability of Mr. Reedy for your representations? Do you understand the relevance of your own carefully guarded statement that Professor Taylor was *"*writing* as a co-editor" of the Journal (i.e., that he was NOT a co-editor, never was and never has been, except on one issue in which he was gerrymandered in to deliver the hatchet job *after* the paper had already been accepted by other editors)? its really kind of a disgrace to wikipedia when such decontextualized data are used to make an argument-- BenJonson ( talk) 20:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Do Not Delete. Meets WP:SCHOLAR. Key phrase in quote is "...on the field of study." The Oxfordian/Shakespeare authorship research field is the field of study here, not Shakespeare studies in general. In that regard, Dr. Waugaman's citations and published articles would put him within the category of notable/passing the "professor test." Verkinto 01:58, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Do Not Delete. Meets WP:SCHOLAR. See extensive further discussion on this page, as well as the efficiently updated version of the page in question, which backs up Verkinto's point in many ways, including pointing out that one of Professor Waugaman's collaborates was Harold Searles, whom even Wikipedia (alas for the deleters of the world) describes as "one of the pioneers of psychiatric medicine specialising in psychoanalytic treatments of schizophrenia."-- BenJonson ( talk) 23:36, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Sorry, but you do not get to opine on this matter, since it is an SAQ-related topic and you are "banned indefinitely from all articles, discussions, and other content related to the Shakespeare authorship question, William Shakespeare, or Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, broadly construed across all namespaces." Tom Reedy ( talk) 02:56, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply

done (see /info/en/?search=Richard_M._Waugaman) Why couldn't YOU do this? One has to wonder. Do you even know the names of the professional journals in which Professor Waugaman has published, Mr Reedy? Cut out the third partyism for a change and stick to the point at hand, which is whether Professor Waugaman passes a notability test. Verkinto says he does. I agree.-- BenJonson ( talk) 23:32, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply
In fact you have not. I don't set the standards of reliable third-party sources; you need to read WP:RS for that.

Tom Reedy ( talk) 02:44, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply

"In FACT," quoth the ex-sherrif's office public relations manager Reedy? "In fact'" Mr.Reedy you are presently powerless. You don't know how powerless you are. Your reversion of my revisions to the page, the wholesale, prejudicial, and abrupt manner of expression, which rejects the ideas along with the person, now join all the other elements of the public case regarding your errors and dishonesty. You have no right to revert a comprehensive new, improved version of this page in the midst of a discussion like this one. You have made something of a career out of attacking dedicated scholars like Dr. Waugaman, have as is well known repeatedly removed citations to Dr. Waugaman's publications, including articles in Oxford University Press's *Notes and Queries*, from this article. You then performed the miracle of getting wikipedia to blacklist professor Waugaman's website. That was quite a trick, Tom: What's next? Could it be that the world needs a better Tom Reedy, one less preoccupied with the fantasy of being the Texas Ranger of the Shakespeare question? I'm sorry to be so blunt, Tom, but you put me to it, you really do, by your brusque style of collaboration. One might almost suspect that your intent is not collaborate, as Wikipedians should do, but rather to dominate, bully, and get your ways by Jesuitical tricks and doublings. You are about as capable, Mr. Reedy, of evaluating Mr. Waugaman's notability in this case as a hyena is capable of passing himself off as a bookstore cat. Recuse yourself, for shame. -- BenJonson ( talk) 03:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Distracting with epithets doesn't alter the category error. Measure the noteworthiness of Dr. Waugaman within the context of the field in which his entry was written. If you're going to classify his Wikipedia entry under Shakespeare Authorship, then that's the category in which his noteworthiness should be judged. Verkinto 02:31, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
If you want to improve the article, then please do so, Verkinto. In my opinion, Dr. Waugaman is notable, but if there is strong objection to the present wording, it should just be changed, not turned into an excuse for deletion. Thanks.-- BenJonson ( talk) 22:43, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Professor Waugaman uses the title "faculty expert on Shakespeare for media contacts," not "Shakespeare authorship," so his claimed field of study is not as narrow as you state. Even if his claimed field is narrowly focused on authorship, WP:N requires that the subject be notable within that field of study, as demonstrated through reliable independent sources. Even within that redefined field, Waugaman's publications are not widely cited outside of his own subsequent publications. Most of his Shakespeare-related publications are in journals or through publishing houses with an explicit POV on Shakespeare authorship. Bomagosh ( talk) 07:14, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Weak delete. Not notable for his medical work. As a minor WP:FRINGE Shakespeare scholar we need mainstream sources to provide a properly neutral point of view on his work and how it differs from the mainstream. The Times Higher Education is such a source and, if kept, should be more prominently incorporated into the article text. But as a source for notability I think that article plus the Telegraph article on the same events fail WP:BIO1E. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Greetings, Dr. Eppstein. Since you are noted computer scientist, I wonder what algorithm you followed to reach the conclusion that Professor Waugaman is not notable for his medial work. I am anxious to know. As I'm sure you'll agree, such a global assessment should be based on thorough research before announcing a conclusion. Dr. Waugaman seems notable to me for many reasons, including both his extensive publication record in psychoanalysis and psychology as well as for the work that has kept Mr. Reedy busy deleting links to for several years now. So, how did you reach that opinion and how strongly do you wish to defend it? You seem like a really decent guy but I'm not very satisfied by your rationale. -- BenJonson ( talk) 22:43, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply
I skipped over this quickly because I thought it was clear-cut and that the more interesting debate was whether he was notable for his literary work. But a pretty big clue is given by the citation counts in his Google scholar profile. Medical professionals whose medical research makes them notable typically have multiple publications with over 100 citations each. Stars of the field might be another order of magnitude more than that. Waugaman's top citation count is 13, and three out of the top four publications that he lists are literary analysis rather than medical case studies. — David Eppstein ( talk) 05:18, 15 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Does not meet WP:SCHOLAR: “The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline ... as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. ... The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly-cited academic work.” Web of Science records 15 articles by R[ichard M] Waugaman on Shakespeare, de Vere, or authorship, with 10 citations. But only 4 of these citations are by scholars other than Waugaman himself. The other 6 are self-citations, and 9 of these papers have never been cited at all. His two Kindle books are self-published by his own Oxfreudian vanity press. His so-called title, “Faculty Expert on Shakespeare for Media Contacts at Georgetown University” is self-assumed.

Not notable. Is on the KC Chiefs roster but he is yet to play. Lacks coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. There is some extra sources on the talk page but only this local piece looks good. duffbeerforme ( talk) 10:06, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • @ Oshwah: Basic primer regarding establishing notability under the general notability guidelines: WP:GNG requires significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. The Vanderbilt athletics department and Senior Bowl websites are not independent sources; they're entities too closely related to the subject and have a vested interest in promoting content related to the subject. Recruiting and NFL Draft websites, such as the CBS Sports profile, are generally treated as not significant coverage. Sports blogs and fan-site such as "Anchor of Gold" (really SBNation.com) are generally treated as not reliable sources because their writers are not professional and their content is not subject to professional editor review and control. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 02:42, 31 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: 1, 4, and 6 above are primary sources (either the university he played for or a bowl game he played in). 5 is routine coverage on a draft website, given to all those eligible for the draft. 2 and 3 are on a blog specific to the university he played for, which is only a local source. With 2 and 3 really the only non-routine coverage in a secondary source, two local sources is not enough to pass WP:GNG for a college athlete. Keep in mind local sources cover college athletes largely due to the notability of the team, not necessarily the notability of the individual. A decent athlete at a Division III school might have a few local pieces on him/her, but that certainly wouldn't be because they're notable. ~ Rob Talk 13:23, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • The Tennessean is definitely a reliable secondary source, and pushes me to a weaker delete. I still don't think the combined reliable sources are enough to pass GNG yet, but it's definitely closer. The Vanderbilt Hustler is a student newspaper for the university he plays for, so more-or-less a primary source. The engagement stuff is not really indicative of notability, as all of the articles I've seen regarding it have focused on Johnson (inherited notability). And while I agree with his placement on the SI list, I think it goes without saying that it has no bearing on notability. Just to articulate my specific concerns more, I'm seeing very limited regional coverage and no national coverage whatsoever. I don't majorly factor local coverage into notability of college athletes because such coverage generally stems from the notability of the team, not the notability of the player. ~ Rob Talk 05:48, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep coverage is coverage, and notability can be acquired through many paths. One of those can be through a significant amount of press for getting engaged at Wrigley Field. People get engaged at Wrigley Field many times a year, but this one got a lot of press. Couple that with the other coverage and I'm looking at a clear pass of the general notability guideline. Engagement to someone else can indeed be a path to notability. For example, Diana, Princess of Wales and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge are two (albeit more "extreme") examples where notability came from who they got engaged to (and eventually married).-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 15:40, 27 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete (from nominator). No evidence of WP:PROF or WP:GNG. "Energy psychology"? Really? The only thing I can find which comes close to meeting notability is publishing books.

The result was redirect to Fun School#Fun School 6. This is clearly not garnering any additional comments, so I'll close it with consensus to redirect Fun School 6 to Fun School#Fun School 6, but I don't find consensus (yet) to redirect all games to the series articles, nor all games + series to the developper Europress. Czar and Thibbs can keep discussing the possibility of merging to the series outside of this AfD. ☺ ·  Salvidrim! ·  ✉ 16:00, 10 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect all Fun School articles to Europress, the developer. If the subject is a valid search term, and it is, redirection to the series article is always preferred to deletion. Redirection is more useful than deletion. As it stands, all of the Fun School games appear to lack significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) FS6 had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. Probably could have just redirected the lot to the dev boldly with little fanfare. Might just want to withdraw the nom and do that, @ TheLongTone. Please {{ ping}} me you find more (non-English and offline) sources. –  czar 19:53, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I think you'll find that the first four Fun School articles and Fun School Special have a number of reliable sources from magazines and related manuals. The latter two on the other hand has archived sources linking to their homepages. Some time ago, the main Fun School article was a mess with no sources at all. My idea is that all groups of games have their respective articles. It would be nice that Fun School 1 till 4 and Specials could be have French sources related to the Amstrad CPC versions. If the idea of individual articles for each game doesn't work, I propose a complete merge for the articles or partial merges for two articles: Fun School 1 till 4 and Fun School 5 till 7 and Fun Special as a standalone article. What the articles could really do with are sources indicating any awards won and number of copies sold (so far Fun School 2 has that kind of source). In the meantime, I'll see what magazine coverage I can dig up for this particular article. Deltasim ( talk) 20:15, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
I think you'll find—nope, didn't find. Let's see those sources. Unless there are several magazine reviews of each individual game, there is not enough reliable material with which to write an article, and each should be redirected to a list. Worldcat listings and primary source links to dev's website do not count towards significant external coverage. –  czar 22:45, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Tentative redirect of Fun School 6 to Fun School if Fun School can be improved (or to Europress per Czar). As Czar points out, only significant coverage in reliable third party sources can be used to demonstrate notability. So even though manuals and other self-published sources may be sufficiently reliable to cite in an article they still don't demonstrate that it meets the basic notability threshold. The existence of old paper-copy sources for the other Fun School games is the reason my !vote is tentative. If additional sourcing can be located sufficient to demonstrate notability then I'd change to "keep".
In the same vein, I disagree that all Fun School titles should be redirected. Appropriate WP:VG/RS-vetted RSes seem to exist for several of the prior titles (e.g. Amstrad Action, Your Sinclair, and Crash for Fun School 4; Amstrad Action and Your Sinclair for Fun School 2), and other sources may also plausibly qualify as reliable pending a discussion at WT:VG/RS (e.g. ST Format cited in Fun School 2 and Amiga Format cited in Fun School Specials are sister-publications to the RS-approved PC Format; CU Amiga cited in Fun School Specials is a sister-publication to the RS-approved Sinclair User). But with that said, it's clear that all of the articles need more work. WP:VG/GL suggests that video game articles have a minimum set of elements including coverage of development/history and reception. As they stand now the articles are more focused on the details of the games (lists of game elements) than on the circumstances surrounding the games (development history, reception, educational significance, etc.) and they may fall afoul of WP:GAMEGUIDE. - Thibbs ( talk) 17:19, 26 July 2015 (UTC) (Full disclosure: I was invited by Deltasim to comment here. - Thibbs ( talk) 17:19, 26 July 2015 (UTC)) reply
@ Thibbs, video game trivia#2 says that similar articles should be merged unless there are sufficient sources for splitting it out. I don't think anyone would object if someone built up a "Fun School 4" section to the point where it needed to be split out, but is it realistically in the cards right now? –  czar 19:01, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply
I find VGSCOPE to be persuasive but not controlling in this case. Or at least not to the extent that I'd feel comfortable casting a group !vote within a AfD on a specific member of the series. In my view a good AfD-multi request should name the best article as the primary example rather than one of the least developed. But again, VGSCOPE is persuasive and I would personally have no problem with a more complete merge without prejudice regarding future splits. It's worth considering that split out material can and should re-use the RSes presented in the parent article and that in the meanwhile (in the time it takes a section to reach the point of splitting) a single article citing all appropriate RS-es would be much more stable and AfD-resistant. I could go either way at this point. Further development of the substance of the articles will ultimately be the deciding factor. - Thibbs ( talk) 19:20, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply

I am unsure whether the page should be deleted, and I would like to see it discussed. It seems to me to lack evidence of the subject's notability:

  • The first citation (of the subject's publisher's web site) does not mention him.
  • The second is to his own web site.
  • The third, to a reputable independent source, is a one-line description of one of his books.
  • The fourth is behind a paywall.

I have tried looking for better sources. The best I can find is http://youngdracula.wikia.com/wiki/Young_Dracula:_AND_Young_Monsters, which does assert his notability, but I don't know how Wikipedia regards other Wiki sites. Maproom ( talk) 09:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Could you provide us with these new sources so we can a, assess them ouselves; b, include them in the article if appropriate? wintonian talk 17:30, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • These sources are the reviews in the article. Book reviews have always been acceptable as proof of notability for authors per WP:NAUTHOR and media outlets like the School Library Journal (around since 1954), Horn Book Guide (1924), and Booklist (the last is the official publication of the American Library Association) are considered to be reliable. All three (especially the Horn Book Guide) are considered to be extremely well thought of and very influential in the book world. On top of that we also have reviews from peer-reviewed academic journals like School Librarian and reviews from MuggleNet, which started out as a fan website but has since turned into a respected website that is considered to be a reliable source. (IE, they don't accept reviews from just anyone and the site does have an editorial process.) Kliatt is also considered to be a reliable source, as when they were still circulating (the magazine has since stopped publication) they were fairly well thought of. Now the thing about authors is that you don't have to show that one specific book is notable - you can establish notability for an author by showing how their work has received coverage (ie, reviews) over a larger period of time. This is far easier to do with an author's comprehensive work than it is with individual books or series, which is the case here - although I will note that there are enough reviews to where I could justify someone creating a series page for either the Jiggy McCue or the Withern Rise series.

*Delete, and with a heavy heart, but from my investigations I just don't see how it comes close to meeting the WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR. To C&P what I have said on talk elsewhere:

I can't find anything via Google that comes close to meeting WP:AUTHOR. However it is claimed in the article that his "Young Dracula" work was the inspiration for a BBC series of the same name, he claimes this in his website and it is mention on his Amazon bio [5], which I assume he either wrote or provided the info for? WP:AUTHOR says in point 3; ["]The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews["] Either way it is not a feature length film and 'inspiration for' is somewhat remote I feel from the work being turned into an audio/ visual production, besides I'm struggling to find anything to back the claim. Also he has written quite a few book over the last 20 years and with the article itself being 10 years old...

  • Comment. Past practice in similar discussions has been to delete and allow, but not require, creation of a redirect. In the absence of independent, reliable sourcing, I'm not sure it's prudent to create a redirect for a common name like this. A cursory GNews search turns up multiple examples of coverage of an athlete also named Renee Perez and a noteworthy academic named Domino Renee Perez, for example.

The result was no consensus. A begrudging close as "no consensus" because it is the only outcome that can be applied to the overall discussion: Serge and Czar made the most pertinent points in their rationales to redirect, but as a closer it would be irresponsible to discount the volume of opposition. From my perspective, the few well-backed reasons to redirect IMO balance out the numerous relatively poorer (though not necessarily incorrect) rationales to keep.

This closure is specifically without prejudice against individual renoms, especially for the Xbox & Playstation & PSP/PSVita articles (since the Wii/WiiU ones were by far the most discussed here), if you still believe the articles should be deleted/redirected after the removal of the changelogs. ☺ ·  Salvidrim! ·  ✉ 15:16, 10 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Czar ( talk · contribs) asserts per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_99#Category:Game_console_operating_systems that articles describing video game console operating systems must be removed as a violation of WP:NOTCHANGELOG, WP:GAMECRUFT, and unnecessary duplication of content already contained in parent articles.

However, I assert that this requires additional discussion as it is a significant change that was backed by a single editor in a two-year-old discussion. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:49, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Note: Please do not simply state that the articles or tables are “useful.” Wikipedia doesn’t care if you think they’re useful. Instead, explain how they could be useful to readers of a general encyclopedia. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 05:53, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply

bureaucratic metadiscussion –  czar 17:55, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect all to their respective console's sections on software (which is to say restore the redirect). Both What Wikipedia is not (WP:NOTCHANGELOG#4, policy) and the WPVG guidelines (WP:VGSCOPE#9, guideline) both say explicitly that we do not host changelogs as an encyclopedia. If the respective console articles began to bulge in their software sections and saw a need to spill out summary style into their own articles, then no problem, but that's not what's happening here. These are just really big tables of every single, minute change to software, which meets the policy and guidelines of what we do not host to the letter. Anything that needs to be said about the system software can be said in the parent articles unless reliable sources show that the software has something significant that makes it more than just a part of the product. –  czar 17:53, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: So why are we allowed to have Android version history and iOS version history? VGSCOPE does not say game hardware, it says the version history of a game (although I just amended that guideline right now, because the whole passage applies to game and game-related topics). But that seems to be in the spirit of WP:NOTCHANGELOG. However, the WP:NOTCHANGELOG really says "Use reliable third-party (not self-published or official) sources in articles dealing with software updates to describe the versions listed or discussed in the article. Common sense must be applied with regard to the level of detail to be included." So it's not a full-on ban on changelogs. ViperSnake151  Talk  18:15, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply
      Other stuff exists. The spirit of NOTCHANGELOG is that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There is a difference between a change log (0.01 version update minutiae) and a synthetic history of version changes based in secondary sources. Android/iOS is famous as software while Xbox's software is secondary. There is more merit (and reliable sources!) about the differences between Firefox 3 and 4 than the differences between Xbox OS X and Y. That's fine. But this is not a discussion about Software version history but about specific articles—I see no case in which it is worth retaining the primary source version histories of these articles nominated, and once those are removed, there's nothing left to keep, so we're left to merge. The articles on the history of iOS/Android/individual web browsers are a different animal, an animal that still should have its primary source change logs gutted but at least has the potential of being rewritten as a synthetic history between major features and versions. The video game console software doesn't need a separate article for that and can be written summary style. I'll add that my suspicion is that these lists are the equivalent of WP:Dateline—it's easier to maintain an article where you just dump version history than it is to write the useful, synthetic history that should be in its place. –  czar 18:40, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect all of them - per WP:NOT. It's not encyclopedic to list every system update that occurs, and the operating system info is better shown as a (shorter) section in its respective parent article. (I would have challenged these articles sooner, but the pure volume of these sorts of articles made me think they were acceptable. If you actually look into policy though, it is not.) Sergecross73 msg me 02:25, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Hold on; shouldn't each of these be discussed separately? Wii system software is more than just a changelog; it also has a good bit of material about the nature of the software that is not found in the parent articles. — SamB ( talk) 19:26, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't think so. It's all unsourced and there's nothing to merge. If you want to merge other parts, go ahead. –  czar 19:30, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Chicken and egg. If the article topic had enough sources, it would split out summary style from its parent article. If someone wants to find or debate sources and build it out, it can be done from the Wii article's section on software. –  czar 19:46, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Keep after deleting the changelog: Obviously, the nominator's argument for the deletion of these article is WP:NOTCHANGELOG and WP:GAMECRUFT. It is better to remove the changelog part than simply deleting all these articles. Both of these reasons are now invalid for these articles since changelog no longer exists. -- Cartakes ( talk) 20:22, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
I understand now. I suppose the changelog took up more of the page than the main summary, WP:NOTCHANGELOG or not. -- BenM64 ( talk) 20:43, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
What's left after removing the changelog info though? And is that info covered by 3rd party sources? And if there's anything left, would it be better as a section in the parent subjects article? Sergecross73 msg me 22:00, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Take a look at Wii U system software for example. There are A LOT of contents and 3rd party sources provided. And obviously it does not fit in a section in the parent subjects article as well. -- Cartakes ( talk) 22:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Almost all of the content (Miiverse, Wii Mode,etc) is, and/or should be, covered at the main Wii U article or their own articles... Sergecross73 msg me 22:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Almost all of these contents in fact don't have their own articles (remember? the nominator was even trying to delete articles such as LiveArea). The Wii U article only has some very brief mentioning of features such as Wii mode for example, compared with the article Wii U system software, which contains much more detailed information regarding these features, which don't really fit in Wii U article either. The parent articles are not supposed to be detailed collections of every information about them.-- Cartakes ( talk) 22:24, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Which makes the "system software" page a coatrack for non-notable software features and change logs. Serge has it exactly right—there's nothing left to substantiate a fork for "system software" after removing the change logs. –  czar 22:37, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
May I see the "system software" page as a "Main article" for the software features etc of the parent articles? These information are too detailed to be fit in the parent articles. Compared with for example Konqueror vs KHTML, the latter containing more technical info regarding Konqueror. -- Cartakes ( talk) 22:45, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Just about all of these are discussed somewhere else though. Miiverse, Nintendo eShop, Nintendo TVii etc. The article is unnecessary and redundant. Sergecross73 msg me 22:31, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Just want to mention that the "system software" page is for discussing the software features etc of the parent articles themselves, not an article about individual features. You may in fact consider the "system software" page as a "Main article" for the software features etc of the parent articles, which are too detailed to be fit in the parent articles. -- Cartakes ( talk) 23:00, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
"Main articles" (usually called "parent/child articles", and usually based on summary style) require proof of significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. ( ?) A list of vetted video game sources is available here. From a cursory search, no one is discussing "Wii system software" as independent from the Wii itself. –  czar 23:05, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Have you looked at Wii U system software yet? It contains lots of independent sources already. For demonstration purpose you can see what I mean as a "Main article" here. No, it is not mean to be independent from the Wii U itself, but as a child article for the Wii U#Software section. The Wii U#Software section contains summary style info, while the child article contains more detailed info. -- Cartakes ( talk) 23:13, 25 July 2015 (UTC) reply
I'm just saying, the articles were deleted, nothing of encyclopedic value would be lost; the "changelog stuff" doesn't belong, and the rest of it is covered at other articles. (The parent article, the spinoff articles for their online services, etc) Sergecross73 msg me 19:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply
I already removed all the "changelog stuff" in all these articles yesterday, so the "changelog" issue basically no longer exists. As for the rest, a question for you: should the article Features new to Windows 8 be deleted too when the section Windows 8#New and changed features already exists? Obviously the article Features new to Windows 8 covers more detailed info than the section Windows 8#New and changed features, similar to the fact that the article Wii U system software covers more detailed info than the section Wii U#Software. -- Cartakes ( talk) 19:33, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply
Honestly, I think your example is also excessive and should just have the main points in the parent article. There's too much excessive detail - if you want that much detail, you may as well go read the software manual. Sergecross73 msg me 21:50, 26 July 2015 (UTC) reply

There's a lot that could be left over if the article was redone. As far as I could see, Wikipedia contains no information on the Kinect's software. This page would be an appropriate location for such information. Software-based DRM could be discussed here. Windows 10 for Xbox One could be discussed here. However, currently the article is just a hyper-detailed changelog with a brief blurb at the top. As it stands, if the changelog is removed, there's absolutely nothing that couldn't be merged into the Xbox One article in two sentences. Eggbake ( talk) 16:44, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

      I’m not sure if we should be replying here, above the thing that says “Please add new comments below this notice.” But @ TrueCRaysball: I disagree with the notion that it improves the encyclopedia. If a wiki sought to be a database of every software update to any piece of software it treated, no matter how trivial that update might be, then these would improve that wiki. Or if a wiki sought to preserve all historical information about the system that uses the software, these would improve that wiki. But Wikipedia is not that wiki. Information that improves a resource designed for hobbyists, or pro gamers, or stamp collectors, or model train enthusiasts, does not necessarily improve an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is designed to be a general encyclopedia, not a specialized resource. Cluttering up the article with every update ever released just buries the notable/important updates, which do not get the WP:WEIGHT they are due. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 02:48, 3 August 2015 (UTC) reply

I can't point to any source that has a nice, solid, objective and trust worthy overview of what has been done and has yet to come for any of the for deletion proposed artikel's operating systems. I only know that Sony is keeping track of this but since their Generation 8 website, the information is hard to find and even prior to that, it was never that objective or just flat uninformative, where Wikipedia always did provide some information on what actualy changed (for example, Sony's "The software should now work even more reliable" (or something like that), is on Wikipedia replaced with the issues that got fixed).

      • First, Your 10 crushing tons of WP:BRICKS has been felt heavily. Second, I encourage you to look at Wikipedia:High-functioning autism and Asperger's editors as that may help you understand how better to word your replies. Third, WP:IAR. Fourth, If it ain't WP:BROKE, don't fix it. Fifth, the discussion is over 2 years old. Sixth, IP 84.195.214.118 is right. If broke doesn't work. Maybe there could be a better way of doing the change logs. Maybe we could get together some users who have an interest in these articles to go over the change logs update by update and remove cruft or condense them down to the essential features. We're not doing an article regarding the History of Linux to the extent where every revision in the kernel's git repository is recorded. That's far overkill. History of iOS is similar, but Apple does not provide a change log to the extent that A History of Linux would be like if we used the kernel's git log. History of iOS, however, strikes a balance between too much and too little info. I feel that these "Articles for Deletion" are as notable as History for iOS is and, as such, require the same degree of support. Haseo9999 ( talk) 04:36, 1 August 2015 (UTC) reply

I'd do the same if someone said "Keep, along with all the WP:CRUFT, WP:TRIVIA, and unsourced material!" It's difficult to understand a stance like that, knowing Wikipedia policies. Also, citing WP:BROKE doesn't make sense because it is in fact "broke" - it doesn't follow policy, and the age of the discussion is irrelevant because we're having new discussions on it right here. We're not going to make a decision based on the 2yr old discussion, we'll make a call on what's being discussed here. Sergecross73 msg me 14:02, 3 August 2015 (UTC) reply
        • It’s unfortunate that no better resource was available; perhaps these changelogs should be copied to a wiki devoted to video game consoles. (Incidentally, I can’t help wondering what they were based on [OR?] if they were better than all available sources.)

  • Merge into the consoles’ articles (unless summary style is warranted), and do away with the excessively detailed changelogs. Do we need to let readers know that the PS3 added Vita support in November 2011? Absolutely. Do we need to let them know that it added a menu option to delete Vita backups? Absolutely not. As for merging, the system software is not notable in its own right. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 06:14, 1 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    • And a suggestion to anyone who has found the changelogs useful: You are free (under the CC-BY-SA terms) to copy the tables to a Wikia site devoted to a particular console, or all consoles, or what have you. You’re free to start your own wiki and preserve the update history there. If it’s already been removed from our article, just find it in the page history.

  • Those tables are not WP:USEFUL in the sense that a changelog is useful for a software developer, i.e. for finding out every change from one minor version to the next; which is what WP:NOTCHANGELOG was crafted to avoid. They are WP:USEFUL in the sense of providing information that has been regarded relevant by third party RSs, of what versions are the most significant and what changes between them are important; and that is encyclopedic, as being noted by reliable sources which provide analysis in the context of the topic is how we define the WP:DUE weight of content.

    If it was relevant at the time of release, that’s one thing. Maintaining that relevance after the changes are long past is quite another. I posit that not only the majority of the versions documented in these articles, but the majority of feature updates and changes in the remaining versions, would fail e.g. the 10 year test. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 22:32, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Notability is not temporary. If a feature or version received analysis and coverage from independent sources, that does not wane away merely because of passage of time. Diego ( talk) 08:36, 7 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep without changelogs sure changelogs are against wiki policy but the content of the articles can be rewritten to fit the style of WP:PROSE and no longer appear to be changelogs and leave out all over detailed or non notable content, for example major features being delivered via a software update is most certainly notable, but it doesn't need a changelog, though personally I would like to see the changelogs stay and though Wikipedia is notorious for double standards (as the iOS changelog has gone unchallenged for quite some time, but gaming console changelogs are to be deleted), but policy is policy, but then again I've seen enough "seasoned" editors throw out wikipolicies whenever they please and with these articles I'm sure that a lot of experienced editors have contributed to these changelogs, too bad that there isn't an option to migrate them to more specialized Wikia sites. -- 58.187.228.171 ( talk) 01:24, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep all the entries referenced to reliable sources per WP:CHANGELOG, which states: "Use reliable third-party in articles dealing with software updates to describe the versions listed or discussed in the article." WP:CHANGELOG is not a prohibition to have changelogs, it's a warning againts excessively detailed ones. Everyone saying that the policy forbids changelogs should re-read what its wording actually says. It is commonly understood that a listing of the main changes from one version to the next, with its significance being analyzed by reliable sources, is encyclopedic and not against the policy.
    Also, comment: please keep the content of the articles being discussed while they are being an object of debate. This removal of the article's contents make it difficult to know what we are talking about.
    Also, I agree with SamB's request to discuss each article on its own merits. Blanket interpretations of policy are not useful, each decision should be made according to the level of coverage in reliable sources on a case-by-case basis. Diego ( talk) 09:12, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    If our changelogs included third-party analysis of each version’s significance, there’d be a strong case for keeping them intact. But there doesn’t appear to be any discussion of significance, just feature-lists and changes. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 22:47, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    That's one more reason for debating each article independently, with a line by line analysis of sources for each table, rather than a blanket "belongs/does not belong" for multiple articles at the same time. Diego ( talk) 08:36, 7 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    “Please keep the content of the articles being discussed while they are being an object of debate.” Why? If we can make the articles less problematic and less likely to be deleted, isn’t that a Good Thing? In fact, I’m fair certain that working to improve an article while it’s being considered for deletion is actively encouraged. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 05:47, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Isn't it obvious? Because we don't agree that removing the tables in an improvement; that's precisely what's being discussed. Not being able to see what we're talking about makes it hard to analyze it. (And, the articles are not likely to be deleted before the deletion discussion ends. :-) The current status of articles doesn't influence deletion discussions, only what the can become). Diego ( talk) 06:54, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply
P.S. I think one good compromise solution would be to keep a line in the tables for each version which has received third party coverage. Other intermediate versions between those could be lumped together in a single line (e.g. "Versions 1.5.7a - 1.8b: new features and bug fixes"). The trick is to turn WP:CHANGELOGs into WP:TIMELINEs, i.e. lists of events which are relevant to the sofware as covered by independent reliable sources. Diego ( talk) 08:51, 7 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I think WP:NOTCHANGELOG is misguided to begin with. For software that has met the bar for noteworthiness I believe version data should be kept in a sub-page as has been done with the game consoles previously. Wikipedia is likely to be one of very few long term reliable host of this data in to the future, if it is not held on Wikipedia it is likely to become lost in time. The main article about the game console is not being impacting by storing version info on a separate page. As it does not impact the readability of the main article are we risking the longevity of this popular data over some disk space? Deleting popular data in an era where disk space is cheap does not appear to serve any people currently or into the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.173.214 ( talk) 12:41, 5 August 2015 (UTC) — 58.160.173.214 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply
    Please see WP:RELNOT; it lists “If it is not stored in Wikipedia it will be lost to the world” as an erroneous argument. The longevity of the data is only a concern if the data’s relevance has longevity, itself. That is what I, for one, am questioning. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 22:47, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    I'd say that that rule should be up for revision, NOTCHANGELOG doesn't seem to apply to History of iOS and editors for years have claimed that these changes are notable and relevant, I honestly second them and it would be a shame to see all these articles go as they do not seem un-encyclopedic to me in the least bit, in fact I'd almost say that the NOTCHANGELOG rule should be challenged and that operating systems with sufficient coverage and notability should have a sort of changelog as the NOTCHANGELOG was written in a time before mobile operating systems and constant computer updates, in fact today we live in a world where operating systems are more different from themselves after several over-the-air updates than they were with major releases in the past, the whole rule seems archaic and personally I'd say that we should keep these pages, though it's sad that someone prematurely deleted the Xbox One system software page. -- Hoang the Hoangest ( talk) 09:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Replying to this thread located above the relisting notices, to a comment by @ Diego Moya: WP:NOTPAPER only means we don’t have technical limitations on the amount of content. “However, there is an important distinction between what can be done, and what should be done ….” So the question is not whether these articles or changelogs take up too much space, or whether anyone finds them useful, but how well-suited they are to an encyclopedia. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 14:30, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    Right, and how well suited is the content is determined by the availability of third-party reliable sources discussing its relevance (which several entries in the tables of sofwtare changes in the linked articles have, BTW). It has nothing to do with the content being "general" or "suitable for all audiences". The myth that Wikipedia is only a general encyclopedia is dispelled the moment you find an article about an obscure mathematical demonstration, historical character or medical condition. In fact we have a whole guideline (linked from WP:NOTPAPER) dedicated to explain how to split the content that is too detailed for a general article and have the more specific parts organized in related articles. Diego ( talk) 19:15, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    Yes, some updates do have sources discussing their relevance. So let’s limit our version histories to those particular versions, and discuss the relevance rather than the changes. Problem solved. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 19:54, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    That's what I said we should do :-) Diego ( talk) 20:02, 9 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, and I'll explain the definition of WP:NOTCHANGELOG "Exhaustive logs of software updates. Use reliable third-party (not self-published or official) sources in articles dealing with software updates to describe the versions listed or discussed in the article. Common sense must be applied with regard to the level of detail to be included." Note that Wikipedia doesn't care if you think changelogs are not encyclopedic Wikipedia is not against changelogs if there are plenty of 3rd party sources that cover it (thus making them notable) and as far as I can tell every article mentioned in this nomination has had a significant amount of 3rd party coverage and I'm sick of people abusing WP:NOTCHANGELOG as an excuse to delete any changelog on Wikipedia if enough neutral sources cover them then they are not against WP:NOTCHANGELOG sometimes I think that those people just read the title of WP:NOTCHANGELOG without ever reading what the actual guideline says, this nomination is completely unfounded and unsourced material is almost always removed from Wikipedia, heck well sourced material gets removed so citing the older definition of WP:NOTCHANGELOG holds no relevance in the light of this discussion. -- Hoang the Hoangest ( talk) 01:40, 10 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    • As an encyclopedia first and foremost, Wikipedia certainly does care whether any given content is encyclopedic. There’s no blanket ban on changelogs, but exhaustive changelogs are unnecessary and undue, and most if not all of the entries on these pages cite primary sources exclusively while absolutely failing to discuss the update’s relevance or establish long-term significance.
      In short, I don’t know what changelogs you’re talking about, but the ones I’m seeing don’t cite much if any third-party coverage. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 05:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Actually, even in the United States and the United Kingdom county councillors don't get an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because they exist. Local government officials can get into Wikipedia if they can be reliably sourced well enough to satisfy WP:GNG, but they do not get an automatic right to keep a Wikipedia article that's written this poorly and/or rests entirely on primary sources and Wordpress or Blogspot blogs as this does. WP:NPOL explicitly limits the notability of local political figures to those who can be well-sourced to reliable source coverage, and does not grant automatic inclusion rights to all members of any county or municipal government just because it's possible to verify that they exist.

Clearly the standards for porno stars having wiki pages are a tall order when it comes to those like Lane and similar, who again, have entries that are complete before you hit the page down button once. Now, related to those examples you cited, I would gladly peruse an entry on your hot teacher, feel that that 14 year old may get his or her break on wiki, and will say you best not be busting on my gma’s recipes brah! Not just worthy of wiki, they’re worthy of Julia Child and that racist southern broad combined! In seriousness though, this logic is not beyond my simplistic mind. But how many pages should be scrubbed that more than meet all the criteria? And how many have been scrubbed that didn’t? My presence here now is because this entry may fall victim as an example of the latter. I’m not advocating that every person that films themselves doing something sexual should have a page… But those that were professionals in that field, and were recognized as such, not to mention the raw sexual energy and ability to contort herself into a pretzel with aplomb that Lane did so well, well, I’m just repeating myself now.

  • Delete. Pet of the Year, like Playmate of the Year, isn't an award; it's a job. The person who "wins" it does promotional work for the publication. Playmates of the Year get more coverage than Pets do, but they don't necessarily get individual articles. About half the Playmates of the Year in the current millennium don't have individual articles, reflecting the fact that some of them haven't generated the level of coverage needed to demonstrate notability. About half the Pets of the Year don't have individual articles, either, and the ones that do typically satisfy the awards standards of PORNBIO (with a few meeting WP:ENTERTAINER for mainstream media appearances). Consensus and practice call for case-by-case evaluation. LaMarca fails PORNBIO and has no nontrivial mainstream credits; there's no claim she otherwise has coverage satisfying the GNG. Therefore, the article should be deleted. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) ( talk) 17:36, 12 August 2015 (UTC) reply

My searches found nothing particularly good to suggest improvement and better notability, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

The result was redirect to Ward Churchill. Overall, there seems to be consensus that these articles should not be kept as separate articles. However, there does not appear to be consensus about whether these articles should be deleted outright or merged to other articles. I am therefore closing this as Redirect to Ward Churchill", leaving the articles' content available in their respective histories for possible merge elsewhere, after appropriate discussion on the respective talk pages.

I came across this randomly and can't believe that we thought it a good idea to have two dedicated articles about an investigation into the academic conduct of one academic, or about the controversy concerning one essay he wrote (which itself has an article already). We don't usually allow "Foo controversies" articles because they tend to give undue weight to the negative aspects of somebody's life. A fortiori, this applies to articles dedicated to one particular controversy, unless the person is so notable that a subarticle is warranted per WP:SS. In this case, though, the person isn't especially notable apart from the controversies about him, so the two main articles - about the person and his book - should be enough to cover the associated controversies in adequate depth. Because this seems to be already the case in the main articles Ward Churchill and On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, these subarticles can be deleted. If only to have a chance to keep our content BLP-compliant, we don't really need a walled garden of Ward Churchill controversy articles.  Sandstein  11:29, 29 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Sandstein mentions the "chance to keep our content BLP-compliant". I am unaware of any any BLP policy violations in any of the articles. What are they?

As to Ward Churchill academic misconduct investigation being "hardly the world's biggest or most consequential academic scandal": I make no claim of "biggest" but the dismissal of a full professor for plagiarism and research falsification etc., with coverage by the national media, qualifies it as a big academic scandal.
Deicas ( talk) 17:43, 29 July 2015 (UTC) reply
The only deletion policy-compliant arguments, herein, offered to support the article's deletion seem to be based on WP:NN. If I am missing any compliant reasons that are not based on WP:NN would someone please reference them? If, indeed, all policy-compliant reason *are* based on WP:NN then I'm hard-pressed to how see topics that have received the volume of press coverage that they have, over the duration that they've been covered, as WP:NN. Perhaps someone making the WP:NN deletion argument would like to extend their reasoning?
Deicas ( talk) 17:57, 7 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I won't use a deletion discussion for editorial choices, but I definitely suggest merging all three articles to a single one. Churchill is notable almost entirely for his publication of one article and the negative consequences thereof. Any attention that's been paid to him or his ideas otherwise is a side effect of that. Three articles are not, therefore, required. Two articles are not required either. I will express no opinion here as to whether the one article should be primarily about Churchill or about Roosting Chickens, except to say that WP:BLP1E probably doesn't apply to someone who is still being discussed fourteen years after the 1E. 209.211.131.181 ( talk) 17:54, 29 July 2015 (UTC) reply

The two articles were created and written by different editors, they have widely different imports, scope, RS reportage, and repurcussions, and opinions are likely to be divided on the independent merits of each one.

  • My view is that this isn't so important as to require a dedicated article. Controversies should normally be covered in the articles about their subjects.

We are, as an encyclopedia, interested in the topic of Ward Churchill and his works and associated controversies, I suppose. But this does not mean that we need to cover this topic in more than one or two articles.  Sandstein  15:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Sandstein: With regard to your comment just above: I suggest that you withdraw this AfD and create AfD for each of Ward Churchill September 11 attacks essay controversy and Ward Churchill academic misconduct investigation. We can have the keep-or-merge discussions there.

Concur. It's routine for merge discussions, where the possibility of merging into a single article is at least fairly likely, for the discussion to be centralized.

  • Delete both of these highly inflated articles. Note, in particular, that On the Justice of Roosting Chickens appears at a glance to be an article about a book, (although it in fact covers both essay and book) and yet the book was hardly noted when published (I only found a review in the small activist mag Counterpunch) and would not support an article on its own. The essay probably could, but it is more usual in such cases to merge useful info into the bio. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 18:29, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
    On a purely practical level, it is a lot of work to keep articles about controversial issues NPOV. Keeping 3 articles about a minor academic involved in a brief (albeit intense and national) controversy has the effect of multiplying the task of monitoring controversial articles beyond Wikipedians' capacity to keep up. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 18:29, 5 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Merge the whole lot. What we have here is a biography of a minor academic, who wrote one notable essay, which gave birth to a minor book and caused a controversy - the whole lot would best fit into a single article. Each of the articles individually barely manage to scrape over the GNG bar, as a single article it should clear it comfortably. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 07:16, 6 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment: As I read the comments above I suspect that there will be no consensus for any deletions. I suggest that the next steps should be: 1) close the AfD and; 2) propose the merger of [On the Justice of Roosting Chickens] into [Ward Churchill September 11 attacks essay controversy]. Assuming this course of action is taken, after the merge is performed we need to check that we are naming/citing/linking "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens"(book) AKA "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U. S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality" and "Some People Push Back"(essay) AKA '"Some People Push Back": On the Justice of Roosting Chickens' correctly; I'm not convinced that we are.

This article has been completely unreferenced for almost 9 years. I can't find any reviews or any sources which indicate the book meets either WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. — Bilorv (talk) (c) (e) 17:29, 24 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I'm not familiar with the book, but Google turns up with quite a large number of hits. The book is listed in several online book stores, this is also where the (missing) ISBNs can be found ( ISBN  0840763891 and ISBN  9780840763891) and from the specs and plot summaries listed there it is easy to verify the information given in our article to be accurate, so we can be sure that we didn't spread any false information. The information we give is verifiable. A quick one minute search revealed one independent review already: [39]. So, formally WP:NBOOK is almost fulfilled already. With a bit more effort, I'm confident, more reviews and refs can be turned up. This appears more a question of work than of notability to me.
In general, while articles must met some notability, I think, what is as much (if not even more) important in a deletion decision is if the provided contents is accurate and neutral, does not harm anyone (BLP) and isn't some kind of ad or junk. With these criteria being met, I'm willing to give some slack in regard to formalities, for as long as I see a net gain for the project as a whole. Inclusion criteria were more relaxed when the article was created many years ago, this should be taken into account as well. And finally, any deletion of constructive work is a destruction of another editor's work - in a situation with a significantly decreasing number of active Wikipedia editors, we must keep editors motivated as well. -- Matthiaspaul ( talk) 23:21, 30 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep via recent WP:SUPPORT and WP:INVOLVE that the article has been improved since it has been nominated. Also, because like Matthiaspaul already stated that the article WP:NBOOK was almost fulfilled already. Perhaps that's already happened! I also agree with something else they said, which is that deletion is basically the destruction of another editor's work. I, myself, have significant doubt about wanting to put time and effort into an article which (apparently must be pre-approved too) only to see it nominated for deletion. Unless it's a clear case of self-promotion, it seems, to me at least, that articles should be given more than a day to grow. MurderByDeadcopy "bang!" 19:39, 14 August 2015 (UTC) reply

I highly doubt that this is even notable. Never heard of it before, poorly referenced and very short article overall. TF5 ( talk) 01:15, 8 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. Just because an editor hasn't heard of it before doesn't mean it isn't notable. It's a short article yet the references are hardly poor. Reviews from The New York Times and Los Angeles Times? Two of the biggest newspapers in the world? And a television series that was broadcast on a major television network like CBS? It's notable.

Fails WP:SOLDIER. Nothing in his bio makes him particularly notable Gbawden ( talk) 11:48, 17 July 2015 (UTC) reply

James J. Stanford is notable under two sections of WP:SOLDIER.
He played an important role in a significant military event (the Laotian Civil War);
He made a material contribution to military science that is indisputably attributed to him (a functional forward air control system to manage Operation Barrel Roll and Operation Steel Tiger). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgejdorner ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 17 July 2015

  • No, he didn't play an "important role".
  • Nowhere does it say he "founded a forward air control system" or that, if he did, it was an advance on any other such system.
  • Nowhere does it say a "bombing campaign" resulted from his action.
  • None of the references are about him specifically. Clarityfiend ( talk) 19:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Try "Stanford had demonstrated the necessity for forward air control in Laos; his successors were the Raven Forward Air Controllers. The resulting air campaigns would drop about the same tonnage of bombs on Laos as were dropped during World War II." Direct quote from the lead section. I am going to add a bit of emphasis to this in the original. Details of these assertions follow in the body of the article.
  • The body of the article also describes his forward air control activities. It is clear he is the first forward air controller in the country except for the flying visit by the air control team for Operation Triangle. It is obvious he had to have set it up. Are you sure you have read this article? Thoroughly? Georgejdorner ( talk) 16:44, 1 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Raven Forward Air Controllers disagrees with you: "Two of the Butterfly Air Force combat controllers were Master Sergeant Charles Larimore Jones, soon joined by Technical Sergeant James J. Stanford." (bolding mine) That article also doesn't ascribe any particular significance to that fact either. Even if Stanford were first, how is being the first to implement it in a country a notable advancement. Demonstrating the necessity also doesn't qualify. Did he invent forward air control or a new type of it? That would be notable. Clarityfiend ( talk) 21:57, 4 August 2015 (UTC) reply

He was successful, but I don't see that he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Has been tagged for notability for over 7 years; hopefully, we can now resolve it. Boleyn ( talk) 18:07, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Sending WP:APPNOTE to Tone and RightCowLeftCoast. Boleyn ( talk) 18:09, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply

@ Boleyn: Thanks for notifying me of this AfD and I am interested in seeing what the wider community's opinion is on the notability of the author. I am still on a wikibreak recovering from San Diego Comic-Con, but will take some time to respond. Also perhaps Tokyogirl79 would like to put in their two bits given the admin's recent attempt to improve NAUTHOR.
I contested a prod placed by the creator of this AfD in August 2014, due to notability based on WP:AUTHOR. I believe my point still stands. The books translated by the subject of this AfD, crediting the subject of this AfD as the translating author, have been widely cited by numerous reliable sources. Now I am not a subject matter expert on Indian culture or literature, so it'd be best to sort this deletion into the Hindu and Indian delsort sections to get their opinion on the notability of the subject of this AfD.
Overall, I would say a Weak Keep is my present opinion, as outside of the subject's translation of Hindu text, I can not outright say the subject is notable; that being said, meeting WP:AUTHOR should be sufficient (just like how a baseball player that has only been in a single MLB game is considered notable (yes I know that is a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXIST train of thought argument).-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 18:42, 16 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • I'll take a look for sources, but offhand I'd say that the multiple reprintings of the Bhagavad Gita could (or at least should) count towards something since that's not really a small task, assuming that he directly translated it (as opposed to basing his work on an existing translation, akin to how some will create a new interpretation of the Bible). I'm not overly familiar with the publisher so I'm not sure if they'd hold as much weight as say, something published through an academic press. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:17, 18 July 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Basically, it's somewhat easier for things to go through multiple reprintings with other publishers than it is with an academic press. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:22, 18 July 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and merge into Bhagavad Gita. This intro, which is a mainstream reliable sources, says that there are over 200 English translations of the Bhagavad Gita. They analyze some of them, and, in particular, conclude that Prasad's one is inaccurate. Other than that, I was not able to find any reliable sources for Prasad, which are independent of the society he founded.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 07:17, 7 August 2015 (UTC) reply

I'm sure it's a nice historic place and I was going to let it be but all my searches found absolutely nothing aside from listings, visitor blogs, etc. It seems the website says it's for lease (site hasn't changed since 2011 it seems and this article hasn't had much activity) and their website is the only link to support this thus pretty much original research with no further available sources.
