Article about a shipping pair which at present exists only in slash fanfic. While some reliable sources have been added here which speculate about this maybe turning into a thing in the real movies, none of them confirm that and none of them use this title as a "name" for it — the sources for the name are parked entirely on Tumblr blogs, making it an improperly sourced neologism. This might just be WP:TOOSOON to start an article about something that might eventually qualify for a Wikipedia article — but as of right now, a neologistic name for something that still exists only in non-notable fanfic is not appropriate for inclusion yet. (And even if it does eventually happen in the real movies, it's still unlikely to warrant a separate article as a separate thing from the articles about the characters involved in it — I can find no evidence of any case where we have "biographical" articles about two individual characters in a movie franchise, and a whole separate third article about those same two characters' relationship with each other as a separate topic from their biographies. Even the most obvious real world equivalent I can think of off the top of my head, Brangelina, exists only as a redirect to supercouple rather than as a standalone article about Brangelina's Brangelinaness.)

Comment Probably too soon, but there are some sources available. It'd be constructive to give this a chance - for example, with some careful work, this could be useful to merge into Star Wars: The Force Awakens - fanwork is part of the reception of a movie. Dreamyshade ( talk) 08:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Here's also an existing example of this kind of article: Kirk/Spock. That's the original and most famous slash pairing in fan fiction; it's an article about fanwork about a non-canon relationship between those characters. Dreamyshade ( talk) 09:19, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Delete I'll also point out that, regardless of the legitimacy of the topic itself, the 'ship name' for this pairing is still very much in flux, with 'Finnpoe' & 'Poefinn' also used in equal measure.

• Delete - This article stems from a nickname relating to the desire (I can't even use the word "Speculate") of a romance between two characters in the future Star Wars film releases. It doesn't seem to even amount to WP:CRYSTAL yet. Only a few of the sources listed in the article even mention the word "Stormpilot" at all, while the rest simply mention a (maybe) trending hashtag for social media. If anything, I think this is WP:TOOSOON. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:57, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• I renamed the article to Finn/Poe and reframed the lead sentence, since I agree that "Stormpilot" doesn't seem to be the most popular name. The sources are mostly about the fan activity related to the Finn/Poe concept, which is a legitimate topic in itself (separate from speculation about future movies). Dreamyshade ( talk) 04:04, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Weak keep The list of refs is impressive, but I am missing inline citations. Not my kettle of fish, but I accept it is of interest to some. Slap the {copyedit} tag on it and it should be good after some revisions. Zezen ( talk) 12:31, 2 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete, as tending towards WP:FANCRUFT. Kirk/Spock warrants an article as the Slash originator, and is discussed in that context, but at most this article should be merged (briefly) into a section on Star Wars Shipping, a Non-canon Star Wars article (which is an article that'd definitely have enough content and sources given the permissiveness re films), or maybe as one sentence in a fan-reaction subsection for TFA. There's a lot of fan ships and slashfiction in popular genre fiction, and the myriad pairings don't warrant standalone articles, even if covered by news -- for instance there's a lot of reliable sources for the existance of Drarry, Hannigram, and Stucky... ^~~ Hydronium^~Hydroxide^{~ (Talk)~~} 04:53, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Placement of fanwork in general is an interesting question - these things are significant parts of popular culture and belong somewhere, even if not as their own article. Looks like Poe Dameron#Reception has a couple sentences on the topic already, and it'd make sense to add one to Finn (Star Wars) too. Dreamyshade ( talk) 06:09, 3 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comment  I became aware of this AfD from the nominator's contribution list after he/she removed all of the external references from Russell Humphreys.  This nomination on a potentially controversial topic disregards WP:BEFORE and the policy WP:PRESERVE, and the only claim is easily refuted by reading the previous AfD and the article.  Unscintillating ( talk) 14:42, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• The third party source seems to be The Creationists, which to my eye looks to be kin to The Immortal Storm. There are some minor mentions here and there, often in comments to media articles. The majority of links are from one site, and this is getting pretty close to self-promotion. Perhaps the article could be improved, but the sources I saw with the search tools provided are pretty minimal. -- Pete ( talk) 19:57, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep The book "The Creationists" is the most important anti-creationist book published so far. It is long recognized at THE reliable source on Creationists.

• Speedy keep. Nominating an article about an internationally well-known and wide-spread product such as Total Commander (aka Windows Commander), which is obviously notable by Wikipedia's standards (for a start, articles in 24 other WPs might give a hint) and which is regularly mentioned (and recommended) in computer magazines, for deletion is such a extreme waste of the precious time and energy of contributing editors, that it must be counted as destructive behaviour and vandalism and should be acted accordingly. We really should block single-purpose accounts who either don't do their homework before nominating articles for deletion or even deliberately want to get rid of a few articles out of low motives. We all make mistakes now and then, and we should be (and usually are) forgiving when someone make mistakes, but new accounts who have nothing better to do than nominating a series of long established articles about notable topics for deletion obviously aren't here to contribute anything useful to the project, they only waste resources and cause harm, so we should get rid of them without much ado. -- Matthiaspaul ( talk) 12:12, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Non-notable music group. No reliable independent refs indicate notability, not could I find any. The article consists solely of a series of unsubstantiated comparisons to notable people and a huge notability section - and there the references are primary or to non-notable blogs.

No, a mention in a Wikipedia article is never a proof of notability, not the way Wikipedia defines notability at any rate.

In addition to top-level Aramlija one, there are around twenty of them and when even the highest peak does not your page, why would an irrelevant and unknown peak had his own page when there are pages of the mountain on which it is located. Then coordinates Jovancov kamen are inaccurate but it coordinates most points Aramlija. So the coordinates are wrong and this is the main reason why you should delete the page.

Unreferenced fails WP:GNG,. User:Thisisnotatest do the sources pass WP:NOTNEWS / WP:CORPDEPTH ? Widefox; talk 19:04, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Unreferenced does not fail WP:GNG. Notability is independent of article content. Thisisnotatest ( talk) 00:35, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Comment (nom) User:Thisisnotatest Read literally I would agree with you. "no sources" and a quick look for some didn't find much failing WP:GNG, and crucially failing WP:CORPDEPTH is my actual WP:BEFORE (plus I couldn't assess the sources you found). Above was shorthand. The three sources aren't significant coverage - seems run of the mill to me. Although the letter of WP:ILLCON is not applicable, the spirit may disregard 2/3 of the current sources. There's just not much coverage. (combined with now disclosed creator's COI User:Kbigdawg1) Widefox; talk 15:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Get rid of it, as it's obviously not notable. I hesitate to recommend deletion, however, as this is potentially a decent alternate name for a coin-operated machine, and that title is a redirect to Vending machine. So either delete or redirect. Nyttend ( talk) 23:33, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Nyttend Coin acceptor already targets Currency detector, this proper noun is unrelated, and free for deletion. Widefox; talk 09:16, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Thank you. Because our page titles are case-sensitive, the existence of a differently-capitalised title is not a reason to delete this one: it's just an additional reason for redirecting this one to the same target. Nyttend ( talk) 13:37, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Nyttend Why? WP:DIFFCAPS doesn't apply as there's not two articles needing disambiguation. I've created the lowercase plural Coin acceptors -> Currency detector. WP:OTHERNAMES is no as well... "it is not necessary to create redirects from alternative capitalizations unless these are likely to be used in links". I personally don't like wrong caps, so I'd prefer delete anyhow. Widefox; talk 15:29, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Your ping didn't work; I've come back because I was curious how the discussion was going, not because I got a notification. There's a big difference between "not necessary to do X" and "necessary not to do X", and a big difference between creating something new and retaining something that already exists. Titles being case-sensitive, someone who goes to Coin Acceptors, i.e. /info/en/?search=Coin_Acceptors, will assume that we don't have anything on the subject: there's no good reason to get rid of this unambiguous and not-particularly-unlikely title, rather than retaining it as a redirect, when we're retaining a version that's better capitalised. This is a fine example of {{ R from other capitalisation}}. Final note: as the page was getting several views each day before it was brought here, before there was a capitalisation variant with the same title, we have even less reason to trash it. Better to retain the history, and better to cause somewhat less confusion, than to delete it entirely. Nyttend ( talk) 20:55, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Nyttend (this one should work, as it's not re-edited) agree with that logic, and your valid point catalysed my lowercase creation instead and a hatnote at Coin Acceptors (pending deletion). After the former, it seems moot per OTHERNAMES - the redirect needs creating, it's never been in use and there's no need to use the uppercase in a link per OTHERNAMES. The search interface will switch to the lowercase for the historical use case of the uppercase (that until now was badly served without a hatnote), so that's moot too. The only confusion I envisage, is the search interface currently prompting for the uppercase which is a real company name (a minor point as it seems not notable). Caveat my view may be quite personal (redirects being cheap). Widefox; talk 01:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply

You fail to observe that I'm not talking about the search interface. Remember that not everyone goes to pages with the search box: it would be appreciated if you didn't totally ignore people who would go to /info/en/?search=Coin_Acceptors, as I already said, rather than Special:Search/Coin_Acceptors. See WP:RKEEP point #5. Nyttend ( talk) 03:32, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply

After replying I did realise, thanks, and in case I'd missed some important incoming links I quickly checked, but seemed so unimportant I didn't follow-up. So after covering most of the use cases, we're left with those people of the world with this bookmarked? If correct, this seems to me increasingly niche and offtopic. Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons is for redirects. This has never been a redirect. The top says "AfD" not "RfD".

• Comments - (1) Is there really no other page that covers this? The appreciation, fascination, appropriation, and exploitation of African arts and culture has been happening in a sense that could be described by this term since the Age of Discovery. Explorers would go to Africa just to purchase or plunder its culture to return to rich Europeans (and, later, Americans). There's Exploration of Africa and Colonisation of Africa, and there's Culture of Africa and African art, but I'm seeing surprisingly little about this. Anyone else have ideas? (2) @ Fotoriety: That a word is used just means it's appropriate for a dictionary (like Wiktionary). We need sources that talk about the subject that the term refers to. Have you seen any of those? I'm actively looking right now. I don't have much time, but I'm surprised I haven't found more already. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:30, 21 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Negrophilia was a specific name used in France in the early 20th century, so we certainly wouldn't want to rename it. The article doesn't take it much beyond that, but the underlying phenomenon is the same. Crucially, there are sources that talk about negrophilia, and we are, as yet, without significant coverage of afrophilia. An article on the broader subject would be ideal, but for our purposes we're just looking at whether afrophile/ afrophilia are notable, and with negrophilia already existing with a good amount of overlap, we'd need to see some good sources to justify keeping this one. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:03, 21 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Redirect: It's hard to see that we should have both Afrophile and Aphrophilia, so one should surely redirect to the other. I'm less than persuaded that Negrophilia is exactly the right target, given its overtones: at best the term is obsolete. At the moment, Aphrophilia is rapidly being given reliable sources. Perhaps both the other articles should redirect to it. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 10:59, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Comment If not acceptable as an article, this could be redirected either to Negrophilia or to African studies. Nyttend ( talk) 23:35, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Seems to be a non-notable neologism, though it seems conceivable that the concept itself could be notable. I found a few uses of the word on Google News, but I don't see the significant coverage that Wikipedia requires. It's entirely possible this could be redirected to Negrophilia, but that seems like a distinct Paris fad. The other suggestion, African studies, is a decent choice, but it's an academic subject, not a pop cultural appreciation. I suggest deletion and leaving it to editor discretion as to whether a redirect is appropriate. If someone can show that the concept is notable, under a name that isn't a non-notable neologism, we could have an article on that. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 01:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Two songs with no real claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC for much of anything besides the fact that they exist, and citing no reliable source coverage about the songs (the "references" here are primary sources, such as the record label and "buy it" pages on commercial sales platforms.) Wikipedia's notability rules for songs do not confer automatic inclusion rights on every song that exists — if you cannot adequately demonstrate and source that the song is a notable topic in its own right independently of its parent album, such as by actually charting on an IFPI-certified record chart, then it gets a redirect to the album and not a standalone article.

Ensemble, by definition, means "a group of musicians, actors, or dancers who perform together." Talore and Alektra Blue have never even done a single scene together. This is also a newcomer award, which have overwhelming consensus favoring their inclusion in PORNBIO. Also, the ONLY FAME Awards removed from PORNBIO were nominations (as were ALL other nominations for EVERY porn award).

• Delete. The article, as it stands, falls far short of meeting GNG/BLP requirements: Little of the sourcing is reliable, and virtually none is independent. The issue is then whether the subject's FAME Award is sufficient to outweigh this shortfall. IU don't believe the award is well-known and significant, as required by PORNBIO. I've seen no evidence that is regarded as significant, either inside the industry or in outside commentary. Instead, it was a short-term and ultimately unsuccessful contrivance, a corporate marketing-generated example of astroturfing masquerading as a fan enterprise. It never really gained any traction, and it's significant that sources used in the award article are uniformly associated with the awards themselves or their corporate sponsors. With no basis presented for concluding the award is significant, and no independent reliable sourcing in the BLP itself, I see nothing supporting the claim that the subject is notable. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) ( talk) 06:11, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply
• Comment Several past discussions determined that the FAME Award for Favorite Female Rookie is indeed well-known/significant. Consensus favoring the FAME Awards as well-known/significant still exists on WP. See this discussion, which took place only four months ago. Rebecca1990 ( talk) 07:02, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply
• Keep - The article meets WP:PORNBIO standards because Brandy Talore won the FAME Award. Miss Talore's award was based on a fan vote conducted by several different nationally known adult media companies. A person must be well known to the public to win a publically voted award. As such, Brandy Talore is notable to the public and she is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. The FAME Awards, themselves, have been debated on Wikipedia. The final decision is that a FAME Award is considered notable and significant enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. Theendoftheblear ( talk) 08:58, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply

As Morbidthoughts highlighted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment Award "ANYBIO requires the award to be well-known and significant which is a higher standard than simply being notable". There is not sufficient evidnence that the award is "well-known & significant. Finnegas ( talk) 23:13, 26 December 2015 (UTC) Finnegas ( talk) 23:13, 26 December 2015 (UTC) reply
• Comment "Well known" and "significant" are not actually a quantifiable higher standard than "notable". In fact, the words are all synonyms of each other. The FAME Awards are well known because hundreds of thousands of people have voted for them, and many more have been interested in the results. A FAME Award is a significant industry achievement because it means that the recipient has stood out in some exceptional way to the public. The FAME Awards article was discussed as recently as August 2015, and the final determination was to keep the article. Theendoftheblear ( talk) 12:16, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• This argument is simply wrong, contrary to consensus and practice. The "well-known/significant" standard parallels the use of the same language in WP:ANYBIO, where there is no dispute that it represents a higher standard than notable. There are many clear examples of notable awards/honors that don't demonstrate notability of their recipients -- Rhodes Scholars may be the most prominent example, but many military medals fall into that category, as do many British crown honors. PORNBIO was revised several years ago to tighten up this criterion in particular: it used to indicate that any notable award was sufficient, but that proved unsatisfactory, and more restrictive language was adopted, without any great controversy. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) ( talk) 22:28, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Keep The standard set by WP:PORNBIO is flawed to say the least. First of all, there are a few Wikipedians who have arbitrarily determined which awards are significant industry awards and which are not. Second, the receipt of an award does not make someone notable - especially in this industry. Finally, the purpose of Wikipedia is to provide a medium where users can create articles to share information on items in which they are subject matter experts or have done appropriate research. It is ridiculous as to how many bios have been recently deleted because people don't have anything better to do. Hobbamock ( talk) 13:11, 29 December 2015 (UTC) reply

• Comment This comment is EXACTLY right. The PORNBIO standards are at best, arbitrary, and at worst, show a profound lack of knowledge towards what makes a performer "notable". Brandy seems to meet the ridiculous standards thanks to her FAME award, but anyone who follows porn, especially big bust porn, knows that Brandy has been a big name in porn for more than a decade. 209.90.140.72 ( talk) 00:17, 1 January 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep - Note: I have recently edited the article in question here. The subject here has won "a well-known and significant industry award", namely the Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment Award ( recently found to be a notable award ceremony at AfD and basically comperable to the People's Choice Awards) "Favorite Female Rookie Starlet", which is similar to other well-known, major adult film award categories ( AVN Award for Best New Starlet & XBIZ Award for Best New Starlet). See also the previous AfD discussion in 2007 about this subject that was apparently about this very award win. The fact that the award winners tied that year is pretty much meaningless.

I came across this as a speedy as a recreation of an AfD'd page. However the article does now have sources that it previously did not, as the prior version was unsourced. It's enough for it to squeak by speedy criteria, but the overall notability is still in question so I'm bringing it here. The article asserts that it was considered the best of a local magazine, but I don't know that this would be enough for it to pass NBAND. If anyone can find sourcing I'm open to withdrawing this.

• Delete and redirect to dreadnought as a {{ R from misspelling}}. I found one review in Hollywood Music Magazine and a writeup on CBC Music, but I don't think it's enough to establish notability. Their writeups in the local papers only really mention that they played, which doesn't satisfy WP:NBAND, and they've opened for major acts but haven't themselves headlined on a national tour, which is generally a NBAND minimum requirement. They don't have a label, they haven't won or been nominated for any awards beyond local-level magazines, and their claim to fame of playing Manitoba Rocks isn't that impressive because that's really not a major show, it's just a show put on by a local radio station.
