I actually declined this at AfC and the author has without further explanation, moved it themselves and if it wasn't that this currently looks more like a journal report, this may have been salvageable. Notifying author

Comment (but I'll change to keep unless something persuades me otherwise). This doesn't look like a "journal report" to me and even if it did it wouldn't be a reason for deletion. I also can't grasp the concept of an article being salvageable except for the fact that it "looks more like a journal report". A very peculiar nomination and one that I am not attracted to at all.

Comment This isn't my class, but I don't think deletion is the right option. Some aviation folks can hopefully chime in if there's a better page on human factors/stress in aviation. If not, a cursory look at the available sources shows me there's more than enough to make an article on the subject.

Oh, good grief! I never imagined anyone would suggest the topic isn't notable. The nomination didn't suggest it anyway. Surely all seven papers are specifically about the topic of measuring stress for flight crews. Certainly not mentioning it merely in passing. I've found three books on the general topic of stress for flight crews if someone wants to extract further material from these.

Delete. A laboratory within a research unit of a medium level research university. I don't think even the research unit of which it is a part,
Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences is notable, and Ive listed it for deletion.. Not even one of its faculty have articles in Wikipedia. Researchers can become notable because of the citations to the papers they publish without anything else being shown, but this does not extend to departments and laboratories. In practice, since only the famous ones get writtten about, the effective standard of notability for such organizations has generally been famous. This is nowhere near. It would be inappropriate oeven redirect. This is too minor. DGG (

Memotec Data Incorporated. That causes another problem as I am unsure if that article is notable. That company was also purchased by a 3rd company which doesn't have a Wikipedia article and unknown notability. For me, this is a tough one to judge based on notability alone as there is coverage. However, based on the unlikelihood this will help the encyclopedia or merging with another article, I would have to say ignore all rules and delete. --

Completely unsourced article about a shopping mall, making no particular claim of
notability for anything more than existing. Wikipedia, however, does not automatically accept all shopping malls as automatically notable — to get a shopping mall in here, the article must be substantive, consisting of more than just a list of five or six stores that happen to be located in it, and must be supported by
reliable source coverage of the mall. This article was prodded back in September for lacking any substantive claim of notability, but then the exact same article was recreated two weeks ago with no discernible attempt to actually address the reasons why it got prodded in the first place. Delete.

I was going to say an unambiguous Keep - seems to have a significant publishing record, including in the best scientific journals, pointing to point 1 of
WP:NACADEMICS, however, I have noticed several of the best references in the list do not seem to list R. Patrick. I thought at first that the explanation was that she changed her name from Perciavalle, RM (although I can't see this in the text), however that does not explain references 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.. and so on.. where neither name is cited as an author. So either a) the editor of the page does not understand how to cite papers (ie not those in which the subject was not a named author) or b) is trying to give the page more weight than it deserves. It seems to me that the name she used in her papers was "Patrick, RP", so any papers cited which do not have that in the authors can be ignored. So we now need a proper list of published work by Patrick, RP. I can only find the two in pubmed. Ignoring all the other crap on the page, I'm struggling to see how that can be considered notable (and tbh, the crap is pretty misleading IMO).

Glad you figured out the thing with the name. You have also misunderstood the references. Only a few are to her scientific papers, and for a full list you need to go to Google Scholar, Web of Science or her CV. The remaining references are media sources, such as the Boston Globe article, that covers her and her research. Those are exactly the type of sources that show notability. Her research is all over the news!!

Another point - the page seems to suggest that she is indeed Rhonda Perciavalle, who did a doctorate at the University of Tennessee (ref 5), but that ref calls her RM Perciavalle. The foreword refers to her husband as Patrick. But why in the world would she be using the name Rhonda M Perciavalle in 2012 (last paper in pubmed under than name in 2013) and Rhonda P Patrick in 2014 and 2015? Two different middle names for the same person (professional vs personal)? Seems highly unlikely. Suspect this is not the same person.JMWt (

A common convention when women take their husband's last name at marriage is to use the former last name as the middle name. So the "P" in "RP Patrick" probably stands for "Perciavalle". —

That makes sense, I hadn't thought of that - although I think it is unusual for an academic to change names as they want to keep their publishing record under one name. According to the doctoral thesis, Rhonda Perciavalle was already married and she was already publishing under the name back to 1996. Anyway, even if the name change is explained by that, in total both names have 7 publications listed on pubmed (5 to Perciavalle and 2 to Patrick), which in itself is not particularly notable for an academic over 20 years. And the vast majority of the references on the page do not include either name as author.

This reference has her as Rhonda Perciavalle Patrick, so that's confirmed (although maybe it is different elsewhere, but in the UK it would be unusual to call yourself Dr x when your doctorate was in another name). It also has her as a Post-Doctoral Scientist, which suggests she does not have a professorial position, adding to evidence of a lack of notability as per

Keep I am offended, on so many levels, that this file is nominated not only for deletion but is tagged as a hoax. What part of
WP:BEFORE was done here? If one doesn't even understand naming conventions of women, how can one assess a file for anything? First, a simple look at "scholar" shows she is publishing with
Bruce Ames (BN Ames). Would he be assessed as a hoax? Would he likely be jointly publishing with someone who was? Clearly the sourcing on the files establishes notability. The Telegraph, "Patrick and Ames, both well-respected scientists in the field of autism"; the Boston Globe, "work by Ames and Patrick is significant". Are you questioning the reliability of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, etc.? Does this sound like the woman is a hoax?

Not my hoax tag, but I think it is understandable given that the vast majority of the references on the page are not in either of her names. I take your point though, and apologise for my confusion above.
That said, please indicate how the criteria in
WP:ACADEMICS has been met. I agree she has some good newspaper write-ups, but she has a very small number of academic papers (point 1), which do not have massive numbers of citations (point 1), she does not seem to have been awarded an international prize (point 2), she does not hold membership of a highly-selective scholarly association (point 3), she does not seem to have anything to speak to point 4, she is not a professor (point 5), nothing to speak to point 6, is not the editor of a major academic journal (point 8).
Arguably the only way she could be considered to be notable would be related to point 7, and I'm not seeing that either.

Your suggestion to remove the academic materials from her biography doesn't even make sense. Would you remove Heddy Lamar's scientific discoveries from her bio because she was predominantly an actress? Patrick is covered in the press because of her scientific contributions, which are academic in nature, but she does not have to meet any criteria other than GNG (for that matter, no article has to meet any criteria other than GNG).

Delete. 4 Reasons: (1) Fails WP:PROF, as the work is not yet highly cited; Even the first list 2014 paper has only 48 refs in Google Scholar. If it were truly breakthrough work, I would expect hundreds. If there are in the future, then there's evidence for an article. In fact, they are not the first people to publish the connection --the most cited paper is from an European group in 2006
[7] I note the argument: "shows she is publishing with Bruce Ames (BN Ames ". Bruce Ames, a very famous scientist, has published papers with many dozen students and postdocs. A few of them became notable. Most didn't. Since she is a postdoc in his laboratory, he would normally be considered the senior author for the publications from there. The same goes for her her graduate student work,only more so, and especially her undergraduate work. That she's a junior author at that stage is proof of her being a student, in training to be a researcher. There have been cases where one's postdoc or even graduate work does make one notable, but they are quite uncommon, to he extent that it wold count as an unusual BLP claim that requires unusually strong evidence. (2) fails WP:GNG because most of the references are either her publications or YouTube talks or unreliable sources for notability. (3) promotional and cannot be made unpromotional because there's insufficient nonpromotional content. The entire article is puffery, giving her credit for what cannot be shown to primarily belong to her. Perhaps it will be in the future, and then a proper article can be written about her science, not needing to fill it in with references to her non-notable YouTubing. (4) RIGHTGREATWRONGS. There is an unfortunate undercoverage of notable women scientists, and there are thousands of notable ones to include. We should fill this by starting from the most notable. To start from the extreme borderline and use the gender imbalance as a reason for inclusion is almost insulting to any proponent of an increased role for women in science,and I would include some of my colleagues here who argue also for delete as very much in that category. We should be long past the point of arguing for covering the non-notable because they are women. DGG (

(1) A 1995 article with 48 citations is a little over average, but an article published in 2014 with 48 citations is absolutely fantastic, and puts it in the top one tenth of a percent of all scientific papers. Scientists will kill for those numbers. I promise you, in a few more years that paper will have over 1000 citations. She publishes in top-notch scientific journals, and her other papers are also well cited, with 42 cites for a 2013 paper, 99 cites for a 2012 paper and 552 cites for a 2006 paper. (2) Of the 25 references, 4 are to her own scientific publications (not a complete list), 1 is to her own "self-promotional" web site, and the remaining 20 are from 17 independent media sources that is covering her and her research. These 17 include some of the top media organizations in the United States and Canada. (3) When a scientist is the first author of a paper, they can claim ownership of and major credit for the paper, even when a senior mentor is listed as the senior author. No academic promotions committee would argue otherwise. (4) I guess she is a young woman, but who cares. The quality and notability of her science is much more higher than the vast majority scientists, whether they are men or women and whether they are young or old.

Listeners and viewers of Rogan are going to look for her and I'd like for people to find her on Wiki, which should be neutral. Also, one person's "promotional" is another person's "information."

I just want to comment on this chain of thought, respecting that
SusunW said he/she does not want to debate with me, so these are a response to the general thrust rather than specific comments. First, the newspaper articles mentioned above as meeting the standards for
WP:GNG are about the research not the researcher that is the subject of the page. As a science journalist, I wrote many articles like this about new research - that's what happens when new research is published with fanfare by the journal or academic institution. Some academics who wrote the work I featured in the articles I wrote would be notable, a lot would not. The fact that I wrote about them is not in and of itself a sign that they're a notable scientist, that is why we have
WP:NACADEMIC. If editors want to say that the newspaper articles in this page are an indication of notability, they are by definition talking about the academic research, and therefore they need to consider
WP:NACADEMIC in my opinion.
Second, this researcher is simply not producing a lot of research in high profile academic journals. 7 academic papers in 20 years is not a lot. 20 papers in a year is a lot. Members of my family have more publications and media coverage, and I would not think they were even close to being notable enough to have a wikipedia page about them.
Third, the best that can be quoted from the Telegraph article is that the journalist said the page's subject was a "well-respected scientists in the field of autism". That is a single phrase and an opinion of the writer. Without further sources to back it up, it is just a phrase in a single article. Clearly none of these newspaper articles represent "significant independent coverage or recognition" as per the
WP:GNG. Once again, without prizes, a professorship and other academic recognition,
WP:NACADEMIC says they are not notable.
We then come to the youtube videos. The question is whether a video which has had 150,000 views is notable, and whether it can be considered to be part of "significant independent coverage or recognition". I don't think so. If that is the strongest evidence for keep, then that's still pretty weak, particularly given the failure to meet any of the standards of the notability for academics guideline.

I do not understand the reasoning above. The notability of a scientists stems from the notability of the science, including the notability of Nobel prize laureates. If the notability of the science do not count towards the notability of a scientist, almost no scientist would be notable. The exception would be those like Carl Sagan that do public science education. It is the same for writers, who are notable because of the books they write, musicians who are notable for the music they write or play, and athletes who are notable for the sport they play, and in almost all cases, pretty much nothing else. People are notable because of what they do and what they say, and except for royalty and the like, no person is notable just because of the person they are.

JMWt I am not unwilling to have reasoned discussion. The behavior you were engaged in previously was aggressive badgering, IMO. You challenged every statement anyone made. She does not have to be a high profile academic nor a highly cited scientist. She does not have to have done anything at all to meet WP criteria for inclusion. If she is in the media, if people are curious about who she is and what she does, we should have an article that is unbiased and contains NPOV about her theories giving the basic elements contained in those ideas. We have plenty of coverage of people with non-mainstream ideas and even no contributions to society covered in WP, lots of controversial figures as well. Media's opinion of the notability of anyone is an opinion and is caused by buzz, she is no different. You make a mistake when you assume that anyone here is claiming she is a notable scientist. She meets the basic criteria for inclusion in WP. That is all that is ever required. The guidelines state that everyone must meet GNG or other criteria. (my emphasis).

Let me put it this way, and this is only one of many, many examples that could be cited.
Ben Carson was a neurosurgeon, with some skill according to his article, who had successes and failures, but was "launched to stardom" by the Binder surgery which was picked up by the media. On the other hand, Thomson Reuters publishes lists annually of the most influential and highly cited scientists in their fields.
Elisabeth Gasteiger,
Elizabeth A. Spencer,
Ann S. Zweig and many, many others are on that list. They do not have articles because no media outlet writes about them. There are hundreds of articles about their work, none about them. Carson, has an article about him personally, not because of the overall value of his work, but because the media has continued to cover him, over time, in a variety of endeavors. WP is not, by definition of the criteria required, a reference of the most significant contributors, it is a reference of people that others want to know about because they have media coverage.
SusunW (

19:03, 22 November 2015 (UTC)reply
Let me respond, please. I think the idea of comparing with
Ben Carson is quite instructive. In the first paragraph of that page, it is clear that he is a retired neurosurgeon, but it is fairly clear further down the page that being a retired neurosurgeon is not what makes him notable, and as far as I can see he was not a particularly notable one. In contrast the first paragraph and further down the
Rhonda Patrick page is the suggestion that her notability is related to her as a scientist. I agree that she might be considered to be notable outwith of her science, and according to the standard of
WP:NACADEMIC she is not a notable academic scientist. She can indeed be a notable podcaster and resident at a medical research center, just as
Ben Carson can be notable as a presidential candidate who happened to also have been a neurosurgeon. So which sources on the page suggest she is notable in her own right outwith of the publicity generated by her research?
I suggest only reference number 13 is specifically discussing her as a person not the research. And then the youtube videos and a blog.
The question is therefore whether reference 13 and 21-25 give enough to show that she is a notable as a public medic and podcaster. I don't believe these are a) lengthy biographies of her as a person as per
WP:ANYBIO or b) independent, significant sources as per
WP:RS.
Finally, I don't believe
WP:GNG and
WP:NACADEMIC are either/or. If the page, as the final section suggest, is about a person who is notable for her research, then she isn't notable. If the page is about a person who is notable as a podcaster and public academic, there is not enough to satisfy
WP:GNG. Thanks for engaging.
JMWt (

JMWt We shall ultimately agree to disagree. GNG is unambiguous. If anyone meets the 3 criteria "it is presumed to be suitable" per ANYBIO "People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria..." You call it how you see it, I read the words that are there.
I picked Carson for a reason but could just as easily have picked
Paris Hilton, who is notable for ???. However, Carson's original bio was indeed based upon his career as a neurosurgeon.
[8] From 2004 until 2009 it contained only information about his surgical career and religious works. 5 years, but "being a retired neurosurgeon is not what makes him notable"? (your emphasis) You see my point, there is a double standard, was he notable besides the publicity he was given? Was his article marked as a "hoax"? As to significant coverage, it has nothing to do with length. One can have a 200 or 20000 page tome on someone's exploits at college which carry no weight at all, but a single sentence which states that they are a Nobel Prize winner, president of a country, etc. has weight. Significance ≠ length. (In point of fact, wikiguides specifically state chaining evidence together to address lack of length is acceptable.) My original analysis that there is sufficient coverage to meet GNG stands. You don't agree. That is why there is debate.

Delete. I did not read the wall above, so maybe some of these arguments have been made already. Basically, Patrick is a junior academic with only a few independent publications that are not (yet) highly cited. (I would not count publications like the 2006 Science paper heavily, since that was several years before she earned her grad degree, so it's likely her role was very minor.) It seems the vitamin D story was a news blip for a time and almost all of the references are either a cull of the media community for this story or blogs and other web ephemera. This seems to be an obvious case of
WP:TOOSOON.

Finally, per Megalibrarygirl, web shows often do capture a level of viewership that can be comparable to more traditional mediums like television...and looking only to YouTube count does not actually adequately capture audience reach if the show also happens to be popular on other platforms like iTunes, for example[1].

The Boston Globe is a daily broadsheet – it has no "cover stories". I think you're confusing popularity with notability.

Obvious Keep. Dr Patrick is a young but already accomplished and notable scientist, publishing highly cited papers in the top science journals. The number of citations has to be interpreted in terms of how old the paper is. 48 Google Scholar citations for a one year old article is extremely high, and 99 citations for a three year old article is also very good. Dr Patrick has already produced more important science than most scientists do over their whole career. This alone ensures her scientific notability. In addition, she has been featured in multiple independent media sources, including prominent newspapers such as the Boston Globe. As per
SusunW, that in itself also ensures her notability, even if her research had been mediocre (not all science covered by the media is good science). In addition to the 17 independent media sources listed in the articles, a few simple Google searches generates many more in a variety of languages.

Delete on current sources for failing to meet
WP:GNG. I can find plenty of casual use of the term online, but no press coverage of "autoshite" as a movement, or even enough for a bare bones
dictionary definition or one-line mention in the
decrepit car article. The current references are backing up facts related to autoshite (an inspirational book existed, car production is bad for the environment and scrap metal legislation has changed), but aren't telling us anything about autoshite, so don't help to meet WP:GNG.
Rename to
Bangernomics - it looks like this is the term actually used in fair number of press articles about the general practice of maintaining and running old cars, which seems enough to meet WP:GNG. (Many of them seem entirely independent of James Ruppert.) I haven't been able to find any sources that suggest "Autoshite" is anything more than one particular web forum dedicated to a spinoff of the practice, and it's unclear how much "Autoshite practitioners" just means "people from the autoshite.com forums" in the current version of the article. --

Definitely not content to promote James Ruppert (or Jalopy magazine) as Ruppert promoted the term Bangernomics. Autoshite differs slightly from Bangernomics in that rather than following the mainstream car preservation ethos particularly those that concentrate on high end models of a particular marque - Autoshite often preserves the bread and butter lower end or less popular cars - one practitioner has rebuilt and restored two FSO Polonez pick up trucks - a vehicle with next to no following in the UK - both cars are employed as workhorses and by repairing the vehicles he has prevented the need for the production and purchase of a new car.

The term "Autoshite" has long since established itself internationally denoting a subculture in the automotive hobby. Certain terms coined in this subculture are nowadays commonly used in the automotive media catering to the classic car hobby. If the Wikipedia Gods would do a little homework, they would quickly realise that Autoshite is a firmly established movement recognized way beyond the Autoshite scene itself. Besides, what is the real argument of Wikipedia to delete the entry?
The term "Autoshite" tends not to be used in publications due to resistance of much mainstream printed media to the use of perceived profanities such as "shit" - or its derivative "shite". However, it should be noted that an alternative meaning for this colloquialism is "something worthless, rubbish, nonsense" - see sense 3 of the Oxford Dictionary definition of the word "shit" (
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/shit=)). However, use of the term in various online communities is relatively widespread. Examples include:

However, unlike the vast majority of classic cars that tend to be valuable, sporty or luxurious models or marques, "autoshite" tend to be very ordinary, everyday cars that were once everywhere but have now all but disappeared.

Megalibrarygirl, Did you really checked the references? The argument then comes down to whether interviews are enough to pass the gng. There is a wide consensus that they do not - indeed they are considered primary not secondary sources as the information comes from the subject not an independent source. Forbes references is a mere mention, Elle is again isn't really much to go on by way of reliable independent sources. Subject has coverage in tabloid media (newspapers) and magazines, which are not reliable sources and perhaps not fully independent of the subject. For any sock-puppetry involved is concerned, please refer to
WP:G5, you will come to know why you MUST have a concern. If we have to have an article it should follow our pseudoscience rules and point out that what she says is nonsense, though I know of no reliable sources that has paid attention to her.

Delete. First of all, not a notable academic: Getting a PhD does not make one an academic, but one's subsequent work: as far as I can tell there's her thesis and one published paper; no regular academic positions. Second, not a notable author, the thesis is is no Worldcat libraries , and the other book isn't even in worldcat. When I see such claims, which are not only unverifiable but verifiably false, I tend to be rather dubious about the entire article. Publishing reports is not notability ; getting media coverage for someone working in fashion is a matter of PR, not notability. giving a TEDx talk means giving a talk in TED format, which anyone can do who cares to. It does not even contribute to notability. Claims for notability as a "motivational speaker" are meaningless--its a profession that amounts to self-promotion, not accomplishments--somewherei n the general direct of "life coach" I consider both of the red flags. "entrepreneur" is a person who has founded a notable company, not just a small business. I do not assume good faith with articles that resort to puffery and have no substance: I call them promotional, and the sooner we get them out of WP, the better. them otivean aticle gets here is not necessarily determinative, but it most certainly can confirm the impression of promotionalism. i would consider this essentially a G11.

Coatrack based on what appears to be a neologism. Many sources use the term "Carsonism", but I can't find a pattern of reliable sources using it with this meaning.

There is absolutely no reason why most of these persons cannot be noted as a one- or two-sentence entry in a "List of oldest persons in X" article, or "List of Xish supercentenarians" article.

@
Ollie231213: There are no English language sources, but there are 11 linked to Polish newspapers, all of which I have read in machine translation via Google Translate (not grammatically perfect, but certainly good enough for AfD purposes). The coverage in most of them is either completely trivial or completely mundane per
WP:ROUTINE. There are two articles which provide details of the subject's life beyond the "born, lived, died" basics, including --
the subject's mother lived a long time too (94), and enjoyed good health until she broke her hip;
the subject's brother lived to be 100;
the subject's family emigrated to the United States, but later returned to Poland;
someone purportedly tried to kidnap her as an infant by grabbing her, but the attempt failed on the spot;
she survived two world wars in Poland;
her father took her everywhere with him;
she learned to sew and still enjoys sewing;
she learned to dance, and sang in the church choir;
she loved three men and married one;
she made homemade wine and added it to her tea;
she charmed the border guards with her humor;
she and her family ate a lot of honey;
her cardiologist is surprised she's still alive;
she was seriously ill at 83, from a variety of ailments, but got better;
she received birthday greetings from the president and governor.
Help me, Ollie -- what part of any of this trivia is worthy of inclusion in a serious encyclopedia? Even the two longer articles are filled with these common details of her life. There is no noteworthy substance -- she led a completely un-noteworthy life. The only thing remotely noteworthy about this perfectly lovely old gal was her longevity, and, yes, sir, what noteworthy substance there is can be covered in one or two sentences in
List of Polish supercentenarians. Most of these articles are perfect candidates for an entry on a list instead of a stand-alone article. That's the reality you face. If we were Britannica, World Book or any other serious encyclopedia, the editorial board would mock anyone who proposed a stand-alone article for this subject.

*Comment In my humble opinion, the use of the word "subject" is inappropriate here. The matter is about a person who lived on the same planet and breathe the same air. Secondly, In the supercentenarian study, which is an independent branch of science, no information given on any supercentenarian is trivial and it can't be considered as such. One must not neglect any piece of information given on person's life. Because any detail of a supercentenarian's life is substantial and intrinsic, as it concerns the person individually and may have contributed to her/his longevity. That is why Aleksandra Dranka, as a notable person even among supercentenarians (longevity record-holder of a country and historically first person ever scientifically proven to have reached the supercentenarian status in her country of last residence.

Then why not just do so for every single article about anything? If all articles can be redirected somewhere else then there isn't really any need for Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia. And as for Aleksandra Dranka, a redirect doesn't give the biographical details of the person's life. Longevity records are more than just records; the recordholders are also symbols, and their life stories are notable in the same way that the last WWI veterans life stories are notable. No one is saying that we need an article on every supercentenarian, but surely a type article on Poland's recordholder would be appropriate.

*Strong Keep The article was nominated for deletion in the past and the outcome of the discussion was "keep". Now, the article has been expanded with the addition of new sources. Not only, Aleksandra Dranka was the oldest living person in Poland, but also, in the light of the current knowledge, she is the longevity record-holder of the country, as she is the only fully-verified supercentenarian whose last place of residence was Poland. Thus she has been recognized by both the President and the Prime Minister of Poland, as well as by the independent international scientific society which is the
Gerontology Research Group, cooperating with the
Guinness World Records. Having said that, I conclude that the notability of Aleksandra Dranka has been proven beyond reasonable doubt and any further attempts to undermine it, could be seen as signes of a negative bias towards the supercentenarian study and the study of extreme longevity.

Hard to believe she received "considerate media interest" when four of the five sources next to those words lead to the same website.

Almost all federal and statewide elected officials have a correspondence staff with word-processor form letters and auto-pen signatures for generating this and other routine correspondence of a similar nature (but don't tell Grandma!). Hitting 90 has become so relatively common, that it's not even considered newsworthy enough to get a sentence in the local newspaper, and we now have literally thousands of seniors who are 100+. My maternal grandmother lived to be 104 (my other three grandparents all lived to be 90+), and my grandmother wasn't even among the five oldest in her assisted living facility.

Merge to
List of Polish supercentenarians. I do not see why age would make someone worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, particularly given
WP:NOTNEWS,
WP:ONEEVENT and such. However, I do think that a list of oldest people is acceptable, and further, it should be expanded to provide short biographical notes. Therefore, my merge vote is not just a simple redirect, but I'd also expect to see the content of that article, including a picture, added there. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

*Comment Dear
Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus, I wish to inform that the fact of being the oldest verified person in the modern history of Poland not only makes Mrs. Aleksandra Dranka notable in respect of longevity study, but also it does make her a notable person for the history of Poland. One has to have the sensitivity to notice that. Therefore, I believe she deserves having a stand alone article. Moreover,
WP:NOTNEWS,
WP:ONEEVENT are not applicable in this matter, since the age of Mrs. Aleksandra Dranka has been a matter of the international study performed by
Gerontology Research Group which ended with a success unprecedented in Polish history. Finally, reaching an extreme age can hardly be considered as "one event" which is emphasized by the fact that Aleksandra Dranka has been present in the Polish press for more than 7 years, independently from the scientific study that was conducted in order to prove the authenticity of her extreme age. Sincerely.

A POV and OR essay. No Reliable sources support this. The "ashura" is a mourning, it is like a festival. The only timeline it has is of three days, every year, and different people do different things on these three days, therefore it is impossible to create an all inclusive article. the creator most likely confused
Ashura with
Battle of Karbala and then went on to create a POV essay with his own cherry picked OR. I am proposing deletion with the cavet that a merge with

Keep Ashura and Battle of Karbala was chain of events that started from 15 Rajab 60 AH. Yes, Ashura is one day that Husayn ibn Ali killed but this event has background in a few months ago. The article narrated chain of event as title "Timeline of Ashura". I think that Timeline of Muharram is better tittle of the article. There are several sources that wrote about events that happen before and after of Ashura, for example:
1,
2,

Saff V. is correct in saying that the al-islam.org website is an online library. It is always best to cite the book (including page numbers). That a book is in the al-islam.org website does not make the book a reliable source. If the book is only available on the al-islam.org website, that is fairly good evidence that it is an unreliable source. How reliable the transcription of books is on the al-islam.org website is hard to know - i.e. do they cherry pick, or censor out bits they do not like.-- Toddy1(talk)08:39, 20 November 2015 (UTC)reply

Maybe Keep; no point merging into another article because the citations are unreliable. This article is on a notable topic - the Karbala campaign, which has received significant coverage in many reliable sources (as well as many works of fiction, which not everybody realises are works of fiction). The article could be improved by using Western dates, and by having more and better sources. I would have given it a non-religious title - but that could be fixed by having a redirect to the current name, and amending the first line of the article to reflect two article names.-- Toddy1(talk)08:32, 20 November 2015 (UTC)reply

The quotes on statistics arecitations to his website, not his formal publications. 28 uses of his website is not by itself enough to show authority as anything, certainly not as a scholar. All bio information seems to to be derived from his own publications or those of his organizations. I cannot find the cbn page, nor find it on their site. The article in Christianity Today's "The christian Women" website is not about him: it contains a link to his website. The "scholarly article" is from a unverifiable book on JerryJohnston.com, and he is very far from being a scholar. I can't find the interview in the 7th Day Adventist "Ministry: An International Journal for Pastors". All the miscellaneous citation show, is that a few people have found his website.

this book, which cites Krejcir's work as "one study of 1050 pastors..." I assume most of the citations are along those lines. Certainly, The Cross Bearer's evidence doesn't stack up: we can't say someone is "interviewed" if all they have is a quote in an article.

Comment Interpreting the material here as showing "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" would essentially mean any author whose work --even his unpublished work -- is cited anywhere 40 time or more is notable. That is certain different from all previous discussions of WP:PROF. Certainly, the number is lower in the humanities. Were he a theologian, and these citations to a published book or series of articles, I might consider this, depending on where and how he is cited ; an unpublished survey of pastors? No. That's quantitative social science, and 40 is not nearly enough there by itself. DGG (

An almost complete (95% according to my word count comparison) Coatrack and OR. A google search brought up almost 9000 results so I was perplexed as to why there was so much mention of this on the websites but only 5 results in the "books" section. It appears that this is just a simple prayer (of which there are almost one million in Islam) which appears on various Shi'ite websites. However, not a single reliable source discusses this in depth. Keeping this article is comparable to having a stand alone article on "God bless". Therefore this should be removed with a brief mention made in the Ashura article. To be frank once OR and coat rack is removed it only leaves like 5 lines of text, quite enough to be placed in the Ashura article. Regards

Strange reasoning. The
List of ancient Macedonians lists (mostly) people with an article here, i.e. notable ancient Macedonians. The list up for discussion lists the remainder, i.e. non-notable ancient Macedonians. The fact that the original creator divided them like this indicates that he knows the difference, but can hardly be used as an argument to keep this list. That one can distill a list of names from a library of old texts is normal, and does not meet
WP:LISTN which indicates that they must have been the subject of attention as a group, not that each individual item has been mentioned in one or another issue of a scholarly source. "Preserve" says nothing about the arguments you present here, and you give no reason to "leave it well alone". You make claims like "deletion would be disruptive", but don't indicate how or why this would be true. Please refrain from throwing around shortcuts to policies which have no relation with your actual arguments as they give the false impression to the casual reader that you have policy behind you, while in reality you have your opinion on one side and unrelated policy on another.

alternative to deletion, as recommended by our policy

List of ancient Macedonians as an epigraphic supplement.

Lists of terms discussed in lexicographical studies, whether they are names or something else, really isn't what Wikipedia and its lists are for. You have given us a link to a 387 page book which neither you nor I have seen, and claim that this is evidence that it meets LISTN. This is highly dubious (but typical). You don't know if and in what way these names are included, whether they are discussed as a group, whether they basically meet the requirements of LISTN. You are simply guessing. Please don't. And while your semantic discussion of deleted vs. viewable by admin only is noted, I really doubt that any admin feels mighty powerful because they have access to things like this and lowly editors don't. You still don't give a policy- or guideline-based reason to preserve this non-notable content apart from your rather extreme wp:preserve position, which you are well-known to use in nearly all afd debates you participate in no matter how applicable it is.
I'm just getting warmed up. Here's more about that book:
"The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, established as a major research project of the British Academy and now funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board and by Greek Foundations, offers scholars a comprehensive listing of all named individuals from the ancient Greek-speaking world. The information needed has been compiled from all written sources, literary, epigraphical, papyrological and numismatic, within a chronological range from the eighth century BC to approximately 600 AD; the geographical limits match the use of Greek language in antiquity, from Asia Minor to the Western Mediterranean, the Black Sea to North Africa. Many scholars have contributed to the achievement of this ambitious research programme. With the present volume, the project moves into Northern Greece and on to the west and north shores of the Black Sea, extending from the Greek colonial zone into the Balkan hinterland as far as the Danube. The Greek world was highly differentiated in many ways, from the broadest divisions into Aeolic, Ionic and Doric speaking communities, to individual cities with their different social, religious and political patterns. Names follow, and play a part in measuring, these differences, which transcended physical boundaries. The LGPN volumes enable scholars to use fully all the potential of personal names to illuminate all aspects of ancient society. The LGPN volumes provide the basis for further research into all aspects of ancient Greek society, and are used by the classical community worldwide. Readership: Scholars of ancient Greek history and epigraphy"
This is exactly the sort of material we have in this list and so I continue to maintain that it passes
WP:LISTN. Fram says that Wikipedia doesn't do this sort of thing but this assertion is belied by the extensive
category:Names by culture, which demonstrates that we do have lots of material of this sort. My !vote stands.

Have you actually looked at the articles in that category? They explain the naming conventions of different nations, cultures, ... they don't list names of non-notable persons which by accident survived. The "list of " under discussion does nothing similar to what the articles in that category do. As for your quote from the book and your reasoning to keep the list perLISTN: Wikipedia is not the place to store study material, the "basis for further research", but is the place to store summaries of such research. We are not the starting point of research but the end point of research, and that is where this list and your cote are totally misguided.

The category is the usual tangle of categories, lists and articles which approach the topic at various levels, from general discussion to specific names. For example, we have
List of Dacian names, which seems similar to the page in question. And we have many pages about specific names such as
my own which mix up general discourse with numerous specific examples. It seems clear from pages such as
Ancient Greek personal names that this is an area of significant scholarship. The author of the page in question seemed quite familiar with this field and so it seems sensible to defer to his judgement rather than restricting access to it. My !vote stands.

Keep. This list is useful for anyone interested in Macedonian culture, and names in particular. Individuals don't need to be sufficiently notable to justify individual articles in order to be of value in a list such as this. Indeed, the list is more valuable than a simple list of personal names, simply because it provides context for each of the names, without going into unnecessary detail about each one.

Comment -- One of the purposes of lists is to identify missing articles, but for most of these people we know nothing but their name. It is a valid list; however my concern is whether it is an encyclopaedic list. Undecided.

Delete: for a list to be
notable, the relevant policy states that "a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources"; I see no evidence that that is the case. Wikipedia is
not simply a list of people unless that set of people is notable. Even if we accept that the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names demonstrates that the set of Greek personal names is notable, I don't see why it should also necessarily demonstrate that the subset of Macedonian names attested in inscriptions is also notable.

Weak Keep or Rename - So this is a forked, yet notable, list of common Macedonian people who had not achieved notability? Someone should really write a lead that explains what this confusing list is all about. How about renaming, reforking and remaking this into a "List of Ancient Macedonian names" or something like that?

This article, as it stands, appears to be a
non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. A search on GBooks turns up some mentions of Hispanic Nobel laureates, such as
this one, but they are usually restricted to either Latin Americans, Nobel Prize in Literature laureates or both, and in any case trivial. I've found nothing that suggests being a "Latino or Hispanic Nobel laureate", broadly construed, is a culturally significant phenomenon. (I don't speak Spanish and am not able to look for sources in that language.)

Not sureQwertyus is correct that the
non-encyclopedic cross-categorization prohibits articles like this. At the same time there are other articles in
Category:Lists of Nobel laureates and these are well-liked articles in that countries and various demographics like finding Wikipedia lists for their members who have this widely celebrated prize. I am not sure what to think. Do Nobel prize lists deserve an exception? Is there a guideline which advises that making these lists is a good thing?
Blue Rasberry (talk)18:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)reply
Delete - for same reason I don't think we need the list of Slavic winners. Breakdown by ethnicity is really superfluous to
List of Nobel laureates by country - this list is just the non-immigrant winners from Hispanic countries (and from some reason excludes everyone from Portugal, as I guess article creator feels they are not
Hispanic). I don't have a problem with breakdown by race (black/Asian) or religion but ethnicity is really unnecessary. What's next, Germanic winners? Nordic? Celtic?

@
Qwertyus: I cited those articles to show reliable sources exist that can substantiate the inclusion of individuals on this list (see also
this source for a more complete list of Latino/a Nobel laureates). I don't think there is any need to restrict the the scope of the list, because the current selection criteria are unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources (per
WP:LSC). I certainly appreciate your concerns with regard to non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations, but I think think the significant coverage of Latino/a Nobel laureates in reliable sources shows that this topic is, indeed, worthy of inclusion in our encyclopedia. --

Comment for
User:Adog104 -- the problem is with the sources you are using on the article. Some are mere mentions of the company, none are in depth, and none are truly independent. You lean heavily on the web site of the company itself, which is definitely not ok in an article about a company. You need to find other sources like newspaper or magazine articles, at least. Also, the fleet is not what will make the company notable. That's like listing the addresses of all of a company's offices -- it's a fact, but not a
wp:corp notable fact.

Not all sources are from the companies website, and I have found other sources that have not been inserted into the article yet. I have not gotten around to it because of other projects such as November Asian Month and Debated topics on Wikipedia (i.e
Talk:Liberland), but since nomination I'm hoping to update before consensus. Besides I can name other cruise line articles with less content/sources than Majestic Cruises does, rightly so this is an unjust delete nominee. And yes I know about the fleet problem, its a place holder too add further information later. However, cruise liners on Wikipedia also use fleet in their history if that's what you're both inferring, so fleet can be notable, but should not be all of what makes the company.

The critical reception section writes reviews of the songs from mostly

Comment Spokane isn't New York so how do we evaluate the artist in the context of his impact on the art community that he's part of? Does this change the evaluation criteria at all, i.e. how do we look at being part of an exhibit
[46][47] at the largest regional museum on
Seattle's Eastside (population roughly equal to the city of Atlanta)? Or for that matter being featured on the cover of a regional arts magazine
[48]? Or being one of two artists reviewed in this weekly
[49] from his hometown, and again
here (according to which he's also a small college faculty member)? Seems like issues of
systemic bias preferring artists from NYC, LA or other large arts centers arise here. In other words, is it sound to insist on "work in a major museum" for an artist whose work is specifically about the unique nature of his own region—in this case the Northwest's cultural/environmental heritage reflected in Simonsen's use of wood materials and images of logging? To point to a specific risk of setting a precedent I'm not comfortable with: does endorsing this reasoning doom any future hope of profiling one of the Quinault Indian
master craftspeople because they haven't had a solo show in a major museum? –

This collection also includes 1500 correspondence postcards/letters via/ Östersund, Sweden, and Cowlitz county, WA. The Swedish to English translations of these letters are currently being transcribed. This aforementioned collection is in preparation for a donation to
University_of_Washington_Libraries as a meaningful resource for Swedish American genealogical research and Pacific Northwest history. Garric Simonsen is the last living member of the Perrson name, his artwork is informed by the Perrson legacy and contributes existentially to Pacific Northwest history. As the estates nominated research scholar it is essentially my duty to trace into the past and ultimately provide future scholars (working from this collection) an opportunity to add and edit information as it is found. Wikipedia has been chosen as a supplemental bank of important historical facts/links directly related to the research. The page Garric Simonsen has been created to fulfill a contemporary point of reference for scholars citing historical information relating, as it would, to the collection.

Henry Selick - it might barely meet notability standards, but the subject doesn't look to merit a stand-alone article at this point. Seems like a summary at Selick's page would suffice. — Rhododendritestalk \\

Article has no references, and makes no assertion for notability. Band itself might not be notable but this seems more clear cut. My own searches turned up nothing that can be added.

Delete The nominator is only partially correct, it is a TV show that does not have a network in any country. Boulder Creek International is not a television channel, they are simply a distributor and producer of shows. At present I can find no evidence GFW Amped has not aired a single episode on any channel in any country, not even an online episode. Should a television should actually materialise at some point in the future the article could be recreated, but it should be deleted at present.

Delete No evidence of notability. How has this stayed open for so long? Nobody has produced any coverage necessary to demonstrate notability here.

Prodded and deprodded with a claim the problem had been dealt with but my rationale for prodding still stands, namely:
Not notable. Dubious claim to notability (created by a schoolgirl one day) and a search turns up no evidence establishing notability, while the refs do nothing for it either.

I'd be interested what those secondary sources are mentioned above, because I'm not seeing them on the page and can't find anything elsewhere.

Speedy delete. No indication of notability. No reliable secondary sources. The listed sources are self-published, blog posts, and Google Books results that are inaccessible, but with descriptions reading "This book consists of articles from Wikia or other free sources online".

Questionably notable and improvable computer software as the best I found was only
this and
this and I'm also bundling the company's software
Drumagog as both almost seem symmetrical regarding information and notability and both of basically stayed the same since starting. Pinging past user
Zundark and
Blanchardb and also software user
Czar.
Delete Drumagog as software article of unclear notability. A search turned up no significant RS coverage. Thinking 'Weak Keep' for WaveMachine Labs, however, as I did find
musicradar and
recordingmag, which are significant coverage of WaveMachine Labs' Auria product.

Fails PORNBIO and the GNG. No awards, just nominations. Little independent reliable sourcing. Only well-sourced information is limited to the fact that her porn performer husband committed suicide. Deleted in 2007, then restored in 2009 based on now-deprecated multiple nominations standard.

@
Adam9007: maybe it is, but as I see it, the problem is that the article text is a complete hoax. As I said in the edit summary where I placed the speedy tag: it gives false information about a term that sounds Latin, but then proceeds to call it Greek, then a made-up derivation of an English loanword from Latin. And something about murder. If there is a legitimate "qua bono" term, this article is simply not about it.

Delete. It is practically incomprehensible. I think the term they are referring to in law may be "
cui bono". "Bona fide" means "in good faith", and has nothing to do with Bono as a personal name. I can't tell if this article is a hoax or just a total misunderstanding of Latin terms.--Mojo Hand(
