The original researchers are not confident about their discovery, and this source indicates that there have been no follow-up surveys to corroborate. Until Bc is confirmed, it should stay as a sub-section of the Alpha Centauri page. Primefac ( talk) 22:07, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • So by that logic, Alpha Centauri Bb should also be deleted, due to lack of certainty. It was only five months ago, no one has had a chance to do a follow-up survey. It's certainly notable for being one of the two closest exoplanets along with its fellow planet. DN-boards1 ( talk) 22:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Bb has been confirmed, as far as I am aware, though you are free to nominate it for deletion. If no one has had a chance to do a follow-up survey then it is TOOSOON for an article on Bc. Primefac ( talk) 22:27, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Merge I am usually a fan of separate pages for interesting exoplanets but there is so little about this potential candidate that I do not see the point of having it forked. As a proof, the current article contains absolutely no specific details about this potential candidate. Nergaal ( talk) 22:25, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Merge Nergaal has summarized this well so I'll just point upward. The article is a textbook merge case, and it's not even fully confirmed. Kieran Tribe 11:04, 4 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep As a planet it should have a separate page. What would this be merged into anyways? The already crowded Alpha Centauri page? It needs references though. We can't even tell if this was even detected or if this is just a troll. If there are no references or evidence that someone even detected this than it should be deleted. Davidbuddy9 ( talk) 15:06, 4 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Davidbuddy9, you seem to have contradicted yourself, but to answer your questions: yes, this would be "merged" into Alpha Centauri, but seeing as all of the relevant information (including the two references I listed in my original post) is already there it's really nothing more than turning it into a redirect. At the moment there is one team of researchers who think they might have possibly found something, but have not conclusively determined it (and there have been no followup surveys of the star). Primefac ( talk) 15:32, 4 September 2015 (UTC) reply
@ Primefac: Its is clear that there is no information about the planet. However I don't want it to turn out the same as how Gliese 581 g and d were merged into Gliese 581. That was a disaster because all the parameters and info about the object's were lost. However since this object has no parameters it as much of isn't a concern. I do not like to support the idea of merging planets into its star(s) page because of that incident. Davidbuddy9 ( talk) 15:55, 4 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a radio host associated exclusively with a single mid-sized media market. This does not satisfy our inclusion standards for broadcasters — a radio personality needs to have a national profile, such as being on the CBC or airing nationally in syndication, or at least be reliably sourceable as getting over WP:GNG on pure volume of available sourcing.

This article is made up of plot description only, and there are only two references cited. Such information is better suited to a fan-based Wikia. It is difficult to tell if Hermes Conrad is actually notable, because there is no real world coverage present. A merge to the character list is possible, but there may be some detractors. Notability is not inherited, and having a significant role in a work of fiction does not automatically make a character notable.

For all her presence in the news over the past few days, I just don't see how she has attained any kind of enduring or permanent notability as a topic that should be permanently enshrined in an encyclopedia — she's a low-level county official (not a level of office that satisfies WP:NPOL) who's gotten a brief blip of media coverage which just makes her a WP:BLP1E. It's a core principle of Wikipedia that we are not a news site — every single person who happens to get into the news for a couple of days does not automatically become somebody we should maintain an article about. Delete. Redirect to Miller v. Davis, per our binding policy about writing about a BLP1E in an article about the event rather than a standalone biography of the person as a separate topic from the event. Bearcat ( talk) 20:18, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy Keep Keep for now. Obviously notable as a figure discussed far and wide, and there's no time limit on notability. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 20:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
    • I've eased my position somewhat. If this blows over very quickly, then a redirect/merge may be called for. I don't want to get out a crystal ball, but I see no harm in keeping the article, given the propensity already demonstrated by this individual to continue blowing up this controversy. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 21:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Weak Keep - This Stand in the Schoolhouse Door moment will come and go, but I think that it will likely have a legacy akin to other, past stands by hard-line government officials. As stated above, notability doesn't have a time limit. Having said that, it's the event that's the center of everything and not the person, so I do feel like some kind of shifting about may be in order. CoffeeWithMarkets ( talk) 20:37, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Doesn't meet WP:BLP1E because it has to meet all three conditions, and it does not meet #3: If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley, Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented. She is the George Wallace of our time, standing in that doorway. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 20:50, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Exactly what is it about her that requires us to maintain a BLP of her and an article about Miller v. Davis as two separate topics, considering there's virtually nothing even remotely noteworthy that we can actually say about her outside the context of Miller v. Davis in particular? Bearcat ( talk) 21:00, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Per WP:ONEEVENT, In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered. The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified. ... If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. In this case, I think those parameters are met. Details about her four marriages are not at all related to Miller v. Davis. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 21:06, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I was wondering about this myself, but discovered, as others have said above, that keeping is easily justified by the third condition of the BLP1E guideline. This is a very notable event which has been covered in multiple news articles, and her role within the event is primary, therefore a biography is appropriate. – Robin Hood  (talk) 21:17, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep for now. Maybe merge later, but it looks like she will go down in history as a minor character in the gay marriage debate, and there's plenty of refs. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) 21:18, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Obvious keep - First, Bearcat, you neglected to notify me of this AfD nomination. The subject of the article is at the center of a historic series of events directly related to the most significant civil rights legal case of the past 40-plus years. BLP1E exists so that we don't have articles about little Johnny who scored in three high school football games and was arrested one weekend for drunk driving. It exists so that we don't have trivial articles about private citizens private lives. Specific to the criteria of BLP1E, (#1) Has the subject been covered in reliable sources outside of the current series of events? Yes - [1] [2]. (#2) Is the subject likely to remain a low profile person? No, she's already a public figure, a politician, and she has taken her fight to SCOTUS. She will be remembered in history books for her unlawful activism and for obstructing the constitutional rights of US citizens. (#3) Is the event significant or is the individual's role substantial and well documented? Obviously. There are 841,000 Google news hits for "Kim Davis"+"Rowan County", a strong indication that the subject is of significant notability as required by WP:BASIC. Every major news source has covered the subject, some in exhaustive detail. - Mr X 22:09, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: Notification is not required. Notification is only a courtesy when there is only one major contributor of an article, which is not the case here. The fact that you responded to the AfD within 2 hours after the AfD started is good evidence that the notification was not needed. Victor Victoria ( talk) 01:05, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep – This case, and this individual's likeness are becoming very well known all over the world. While other public officials have taken similar stances, this one shines out because her case has gone to SCOTUS, and because her own tangled marriages invite comment on her wider moral stance. That last point, more than the first, is making this case colourful and memorable. Also, this looks like growing longer legs, given the upcoming court appearances, which we may be confident will attract heavy media attention. We're not a newspaper, but this whole affair is already well beyond being a footnote to history. -- Pete ( talk) 23:50, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
"[T]his one shines out because her case has gone to SCOTUS" is incorrect and misleading. I see quite a few online publications making similar incorrect and misleading assertions. About 10,000 writs of certiorari are filed annually with the US Supreme Court, and I don't know how many other motions of various types. Anybody can file a writ of certiorari or a motion for a stay. Almost all are denied, as was this one. This doesn't make anything notable. The Supreme Court did not hear her case at all. Quite likely, none of the justices even read her emergency brief — there's no way any of them could read 10,000+ briefs annually. Only their law clerks read most of them. Rahul ( talk) 05:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
I thank you for your clarification. However, on looking at today's New York Times, I find Ms Davis on the front page, and the paper is calling her "a national symbol" [3] – that's a pretty good reason to keep this BLP, I reckon. -- Pete ( talk) 12:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I understand the nominator's concerns about WP:BLP1E, but I think it's pretty obvious that Kim Davis herself is now getting coverage that's beyond the scope of rule 3, which says "If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented." It's pretty obvious that her role is significant and well documented. The Guardian has written an article about her history leading up to becoming a clerk ( [4]) and there's been coverage comparing this to the schoolhouse stand. I think that's well beyond the requirements to keep. Nomader ( talk) 00:22, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
You're allowed to have a different opinion on the keepability of this article than I do, which is why the process allows for debate. But you most certainly are not allowed to dismiss my perfectly legitimate different opinion as "immature". Read WP:CIVIL and watch your mouth, because I will file an WP:RFC if you insult me again. Bearcat ( talk) 03:30, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Well, I was being very polite but given your choice of words, I would like to add that your nomination is not just immature, it is entirely stupid, ignorant, idiotic and waste of time and energy of all involved. If you have got a lot of free time to kill, I'd suggest that you try not to waste time and resources of others too. -- Badnaam ( talk) 11:47, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
The nomination was made in good faith and reflects a reasonable interpretation of the policy, even though I disagree with it. If your best counterargument is to insult the nominator then there's no point in even participating in the discussion. - Mr X 12:40, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: This is a story that seems far from over with more information quickly coming out and has already, in the eyes of what seems a unanimous majority, met the criteria of notability. Her marriage history, and the SCOTUS cases, merit this. Everyone else is making this argument far better than I. 172.90.226.8 ( talk) 01:10, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: As everyone has already proved above quite clearly, the article is obviously notable per all accepted procedures and guidelines. I really don't understand this rush to deletion that people keep trying to push through now seemingly every time one of these things comes up, which it seems is almost inevitably followed by a speedy keep, whether it be one of these police shootings, or who knows what not. It seems to me like there needs to be a better procedure in place so we don't keep wasting time on this continuous merry-go-round of deletion discussions that just waste time, and also discourage people who may wish to work on the article but worry that they're just wasting time because it might simply just be deleted anyway.

  • Delete. As online news publications come under increasing pressure to attract hits, they more and more feature controversial stories that are, in the long run, of little or no consequence. Ten years ago, a person like Kim Davis might have been mentioned in a tiny column in the back pages of newspapers. Today she is front-page news, not because her role is of any importance, but because people like to read gossip about other people, and she is connvenient fodder for meaningless gossip. Furthermore, most published articles about her, while overtly reporting the facts, are in almost every case opinion columns disguised as journalism. If Wikipedia keeps a page for her, it will remain there long after Kim Davis fades away in the public consciousness. I don't think Wikipedia should dignify this situation, and add to it, by having maintaining a separate page about Kim Davis. Let the event speak for itself and keep the person out of it beyond mentioning her role in the event. Rahul ( talk) 03:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: Wealth of coverage. This is not an ordinary crime because there are reprisals, and reactions from the country's legislators. Many American crimes get similar coverage and get articles. Just because most of this coverage is in Italian does not negate that it is well covered. It is also being covered in top-bracket English-language sources including Yahoo, Telegraph, Guardian, and Reuters. '''tAD''' ( talk) 20:18, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
    • Addition: I found Spanish-language sources which say about politicians wanting the migrant centre in question to be shut down. While this is expected reaction from politicians in nationwide populist parties who have no connection to the area, it's also being said by the town's mayor. There is nationwide political influence in this crime because blame (rightly or wrongly, I'm not here to judge) is being put on the government, who have explicitly reacted. Then there's the local influence that there is now unrest in the town and the camp has been ordered by the mayor to close. But that local story also becomes an international story because of the range of refugees from across the globe staying there. '''tAD''' ( talk) 06:18, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep as per User:CoffeeWithMarkets.

    • E.M.Gregory Funny how the Paros case was also nominated for deletion around the same time, with the rationale starting with it apparently failing WP:GNG, and then turning into a rant saying that the article only existed because the rapist was Muslim, put his status as an illegal immigrant in scaremarks (convicted rapists are illegal, full stop). There was also a strawman/other stuff argument to write an article about every single rape in England, because this one by a Pakistani received another media attention for an article which most by anyone doesn't get. Somebody has an axe to grind. It's like asking for an article on every single person shot by law enforcement just because some get more media attention than others, or an article on every child who drowned because one now has an article due to media coverage.

Strong keep: The crime has received major coverage, of which a good portion in English from major newspapers.

The article is neutrally written (I was expecting the worst) and the sources reliable, it might be helpful to add a few reliable liberal-leaning sources as well (the Guardian, BBC news...) for balance but even at this time it answers notability and neutrality requirements. -- ArmstrongJulian ( talk) 08:51, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

A note to the closing editor I don’t like to monopolize the discussion here, however it is not clear to me how one is supposed to address a proposed deletion of an article that one spent a fair bit of time researching. Yes the article does not show the results of this research, yet. However, it was my understanding that as long as the topic is wp:notable there is no deadline?
This nomination continues to baffle me. It stated that it was “local coverage about a single incident with a resident” which is clearlly not the case. When I questioned this statement the (flipant?) answer was "still doesn't make it notable." with a suggestion that an article supported by references from the Ottawa Citizen is only of "local" interest. When I questioned the nominator again I received no answer.

Non-notable person. Claims of significance are either unclear (first matriculate of Kashmir? what does that mean?) or are of limited significance and are not verified by reliable sources (first Muslim judge and only Muslim minister in the Dogra rule (presumably the Dogra dynasty)). Sources consist of family history blogs, mentions in passing, books that don't mention at all, etc. No better sources to be found. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 17:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Matriculate means to be enrolled at a college or university. Aga Syed Hussain was the first person to pass that examination which was considered as a great achievement those days. Moreover it was important especially for the Muslims of Kashmir who were living in a deplorable condition.Aga belonged to the Shia Minority group which has always been suffering. His achievements have made a great impact on the community in particular and the Muslims of the state at large. Aga syed Hussain opened the gates for other Muslims to study and participate in the exams and enter the civil services. He was the first muslim Judge ( for source please see the official website of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir with its History ) He was also the only Muslim Minister during the Dogra Rule. sources have been given from various book , including History of Kashmir. He has been an inspiration for many civil servants. His Judgments are still being consulted while pronouncing decisions in the High Court. His works and achievements have been published in the famous Urdu Journal that is published in Lahore and Lucknow including kashmir. "Hakim-ul-Ummat. There is also a chapter dedicated to him in the book written in urdu by G Sufi..book Kasheer. Khan Bahadur Aga Syed Hussain was great great-grandfather of the Late American Poet Agha Shahid Ali. The name of Agha Shahid's father Agha Ashraf Ali is already mentioned in the article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Zehnaseeb ( talk • contribs)

Yes, we all know what matriculate means. But as I read the article, Syed Hussain was the first Kashmiri ever to matriculate, which is an astonishing claim, and requires exceptional proof. As to the claim of being the "first Muslim judge", he apparently was one of the three founding judges of High Court of Judicature in J&K, but the cited source does not mention him being the first Muslim judge. Surely, Islam had existed for over 1200 years when Hussain was seated as a judge; there must have been Muslim judges before him, if not necessarily in Kashmir, which did not appear to have a judicial system prior to Hussain's appointment. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 19:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Yes indeed Sayed Hussain was the first Kashmiri to Matriculate. With due Respects i would like to mention that the sources are many. including noted writer Amitav Ghosh who has written a chapter in his book "The Imam and the Indian, Chapter name "the Ghat of the only World". there is a mention of how Agha Shahid's Great Grandfather Aga Syed Hussain rose to prominence after passing his Matriculation. Also there is mention about this in the book Kasheer by G M Din Sofi, An urdu journal "Hakim Ul ummat" mentions the same. Certainly Sayed hussain was not the only and First judge in the History of Islam. The article specifically mentions the First Muslim judge and Minister in Dogra Rule. with due respects one has to study the History of Kashmir during the Dogra rule. Historians alone can understand the importance of a Kashmiri Muslim reaching to prominence. Book by Mridu Rai. "Hindu Rulers, Muslim Subjects" is enough example. another Book The Kashmir of SM Abdullah by C Bilquees Taseer. Kashmiris Muslims during the Dogras were the most suppressed. Begar was a common thing. this article mentions how a muslim rose to prominence despite the hatred towards the Muslim Community at that time when nobody could see the light of a School, Education..not to talk of entering services of the Autocratic Maharaja. it might help the students of History in understandg how few Muslims managed to make a mark despite all odds in the small state of the Indian Continent, though an independent country during that period.

there are many pages and articles on wikipedia only which say that Aga Syed Hussain was the first Kashmiri to pass the matriculation (In Kashmir) and later ved lal zutshi was the second. (without relying on the persons Family Blog etc). The matriculation pertains only with respect to the state of j&k being ruled by the Maharaja then. Moreover he was the first Muslim Judge of the state of Jammu and Kashmir..not the first ever Muslim judge. Nobody claims that. So this article can be helpful in reseach for those who study Kashmiri History especially History of the Muslims during Dogra Rule.Moreover Sayed Hussain descends from the eighth Shi'te Imam .

@ Zehnaseeb: Could you please point out which articles on Wikipedia point out this fact. I find that his name is only mentioned on two pages in the entire encyclopedia: the page presently under discussion, and the article about the Jammu and Kashmir High Court. Whether or not the article can be helpful in anyone's research about the history of J&K or the history of Muslims under the Dogra dynasty relies largely on whether the information in the article is reliably sourced. Several books have been mentioned in the arguments above; I don't have access to them and cannot evaluate the relevance. Perhaps others familiar with the history of the region will come to our aid.

Please refer to the link already mentioned from the chapter "The ghat of the only world" from the book Imam and the Indians- by writer Amitav Ghosh..a review published in the Outlook Magazine of the book,, also https://books.google.co.in/books?isbn=0547527136. one can easily Google it. He has mentioned how Aga Syed Hussain managed to go on a tonga from srinagar to Rawalpindi to appear for the matriculation exams and how he passed it for the first time.in the chapter Poet Agha Shahid Ali has also claimed this and nobody so far has contested his claim that Aga Syed Hussain was not the first matriculate. what more authentic source can be found than that of an internationally acclaimed poet. This article certainly would have been of help to many. however if you think it is not supported by enough substantive and authoritative proofs you may delete it. We do not want to Impose things which are not in accordance with your policies. as far as the other families of kashmir are concerned.. This man Aga syed hussain commands a great deal of respect and has been praised by many people including the Founding father of Pakistan M.A.Jinnah. i am quoting this all from the Urdu Book Sources which are authentic and i have relied on them in my sources which you couldnt locate unfortunately. rest All your prerogative.

  • Comment. A starting point is "Khan Sahib Aga Syed Hussain was one of the first appointments to the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir in 1928. [5]". If the article used inline citation to reliable sources instead of just listing a lot of unreliable family and hobby sites at the end, it might stand a better chance of survival.

@ LouisAragon: you claim to be so well read about medieval history. You claim to be of Russian , Iranian and what not heritage which prima facia sounds a hoax ! Don't want to discuss that anyway. Before using your limited intellectual skills you must study the History of Kashmir. The fact the one cannot find much about Aga syed Hussain is that much of the work is in Urdu literature and unfortunately it hasn't been digitalised. All we wanted the younger generation to be aware about him and his achievements. Regarding his lineage your approval is not what we need. You can only be good at what you think you are and close your eyes and think that's all and nothing exists beyond that. The family has all the proof with pictures and family trees from both paternal and maternal sides and contacts with relatives in Iran and other parts of the world. The family heritage is safe. And is not a hoax which you believe on all possible fronts. I suggest you Go and search for your lineage and see to it what you claim is a hoax or truth. You are not a historian. Nobody is perfect. Before calling it impossible and hoax you should have asked if there is any proof of the lineage which the family does have but your Dense intellect made you jump the gun. I pity your wisdom of concluding without proper research and questioning!

Aga syed hussain was certainly one of the first three judges of the High court of Jammu and kashmir when it was established , but he was also the only Muslim among the three . and at that time it was quiet an extraordinary thing when Muslim were not even literate. I hope recent changes supported by proof which is included with reference links is of some help. please let me know if any other changes can be made. I would emphasize that the sole aim to create this page was the general awareness about how a Muslim rose to a high rank in the administration when Musilms in kashmir were suffering badly and there was no education.

keep . One cannot say the person is non notable just because there isn't much on the Internet. Let those judge who are well versed with the History of the region especially Indian Kashmir. He was the first matriculate and a first judge which is quiet evident from the interview link of late American poet Agha Shahid Ali and the website of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir. No doubt about that. As far as the lineage goes there is enough evidence from the Urdu literature with which the you seem so less acquainted with and which certainly is not digitalised. There are family trees and old pictures which substantiate the text and if needed Wikipedia will be provided with that as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zehnaseeb ( talk • contribs) 12:10, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The interview with Agha Shahid Ali has to be taken for what it's worth: the claim that Aga Sayed Hussain was the first matriculate from Kashmir comes from his son, who cannot really be counted as an authority on the subject. Again, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. As there is an article about Richard Theodore Greener (the first black graduate of Harvard University), I suspect that being the first Kashmiri to matriculate at any university would be sufficient claim of notability, if it can be independently proven. But if not...
Hussain's position as one of the first judges on the High Court of J&K might, in itself, make him notable, but that would reduce the biography to essentially one sentence. As to Hussain's lineage, this is largely irrelevant. Many people can claim significant lineage throughout the Middle East (and for that matter, in any other part of the world). Family trees grow large and all-encompassing as one proceeds through just a few generations. Such claims have little relevance in terms of a person's own notability. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 12:49, 3 September 2015 (UTC) reply

We have already provided with the names of Urdu journal Hakeem Ul Ummat where an article was published about Aga Syed Hussain. but the Journal is not on the internet and not digitalised.

  • Keep passes WP:NPOL #1 : "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office" which de facto confers inherent notability, see also WP:POLOUTCOMES. There can't be any doubt (there are sources in the article, and I found book sources on-line) that he was a judge on the highest court in what is now an Indian state and wa sthen a princely state (first level below national). The shape of the article is irrelevant when it comes to establish notability. The subject was also a state minister, and there is a claim to have been a member of the Jammu & Kashmir Legislature which would also pass NPOL but needs verification.

  • Comment: Request for clarification, actually. Can someone explain how he passes WP:NSOCCER? I understand it used to have a bullet point contained which said something to the effect of "a competitive match between two professional teams", meaning a lot of US Open Cup matches would count towards notability, however that is no longer present. For me, "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable" coupled with "For the purposes of this guideline, played means having appeared in a match either in the starting line-up or coming on as a substitute" shows that he fails WP:NSOCCER. I'd love some clarification here. GauchoDude ( talk) 13:17, 8 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Per GS and per WP:NSPORT: the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. This is an individual who made one appearance in a cup game featuring two fully professional teams over four years ago. He has since not played at anywhere near the level required by WP:NFOOTY. The techincal pass of a subject specific guideline does not trump GNG. This player is not generally notable since the field in which he claims notability is one in which he has actually done very little. Fenix down ( talk) 15:17, 8 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep - they're notable obviously through bring F-RAM to mass market availability. This then made them a tempting target for an acquisition, which Cypress then did. However notability isn't temporary. We give readers a clearer history through a separate article. At most we'd merge this into Cypress, and then UNDUE becomes a problem to give them appropriate depth of coverage. As F-RAM becomes an increasingly important technology - mainly through the growth in smart metering - we shouldn't shrink our coverage of it. Andy Dingley ( talk) 19:37, 19 August 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. as promotional. The distinguishing feature here is the sections 2 "F-RMA Technology" & section 3, "F-RMA Technology Benefits." This is typical wording of a web age or an advertisement. It has no place in an encycopedia article, because a link does it just as well. Nobody would write it who was trying to describe the company for an encyclopedia. To be sure, we could eliminate it , but it's time we started actually rejecting promotional articles of this sort. Notability is not the only reason for rejection. G11applies if its so promotional it couldn't easily be rewritten, but we can delete here for any reason. The only way to stop this sort of editing is to delete the articles. If the company is important enough, someone with a neutralPOV will write the article--such as Andy. DGG ( talk ) 23:13, 25 August 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - AfD allows for deleting articles where they are simply promotional. About the only 2 items in this entire article which are not promotional are the first sentence, and the two sentences about the merger. I'd say merge that info into Cypress Semiconductor, but then that would be giving WP:UNDUE to this one company above the others. So simply delete. Nothing in the searches shows that this company, as a separate entity meets WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Onel5969 TT me 12:55, 10 September 2015 (UTC) reply
"About the only 2 items in this entire article which are not promotional " Did you read the same article as the rest of us? I can see how a reader unfamiliar with F-RAM might question the significance of this article, but there's nothing over-promotional about it out of line with other articles on companies. Being about a company does not make an article implicitly promotional in tone. Andy Dingley ( talk) 13:03, 10 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Although this may not actually be as blatantly promtional as others, I'm concerned about the almost virtually non-existent good solid coverage. I added a sentence about Rico Brogna being a spokesman but that's the best I could add to my best abilities. My searches were here, here, here, here, here and here. This is an interesting subject and I hope someone familiar with this can improve and move this past its current state.

Plain advertising, but contested speedy deletion The Banner  talk 10:15, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't think This article is for advertising or promotional. This article is about a non-profit organisation which motivates other corporate companies by their books or presentation to give funds to NGO's as a part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. It also provides consultancy to NGOs to raise more funds to help poors. Besides that, It also does some for-profit works to run their company. I don't think they are doing this for promotions and we should support their good works.They are also supported by some of the big non-profits and NGOs of India.If there is something looking promotional please help me to solve the problem and also help me to learn.

Delete Is there multiple, reliable and independent coverage of I Impact India? No. It is not notable, the article is clearly written by someone from the organisation that overstates the role of what is in effect a fundraising company. It's claims are not backed up by any sources and the way to "solve the problem" as stated by the PR team member above is to delete the article pure and simple. You can find hundreds of fund-raising companies in London for example that get more coverage than this one, which doesn't make any of them notable. -- ArmstrongJulian ( talk) 14:41, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep If finally it is considered for deletion, I would like to request to userfying it. So that It can be reintroduced after a certain period of time. @ ArmstrongJulian: This is to inform you that it is not like "find hundreds of fund-raising companies in London" because it is not a fund-raising company at all. It is a non-profit CSR consultancy. Fund Rising contacts other companies to get fund and takes a part of total money as a profit. III gives proper strategy to NGO or other organisation. so that they can get fund by themselves and no profit is there.

And I created the content and I am not a part of the organisation. I have no relation with the company. It is my 2nd Wikipedia article creation. Maybe I could not create it properly but that does not mean I created it for the marketing of the company.

  • Keep. I've read through the previous discussion (one I did not take part in), and thinking about it, I would agree with the view expressed there that if WP:POL includes every representative of the people, then diplomats should cover every representative of a country. The sense I get is that there is no consensus as to whether ambassadors are inherently notable — not that there is a consensus that they are not. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 10:10, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. As a side note: the argument that Ambassadors are 'representatives of the people' and should be presumed notable based on WP:NPOL requires a gross misreading on NPOL particularly noting that most Ambassadors are appointed civil servants or, from less developed or politically inclusive countries, sinecures. While it is arguable that there is not consensus that Ambassadors are not presumed notable there is certainly no consensus that they are and that is what is required to make them not subject to GNG. So it is a distinction without a difference. Jbh Talk 14:23, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply
no gross misreading from Jbh. LibStar ( talk) 16:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Then I will clarify my point, since neither of you has grasped it. Ambassadors are not 'representatives of the people'. Nobody has said they are. Nobody has said that NPOL applies except by analogy. Ambassadors are representatives of nations. An elected politician can pocket their expenses and their bribes and faff about for five years, and still be considered notable by virtue of having been elected. Similarly, it makes no difference whether an ambassador is an appointed civil servant or (as in America) a sinecure: by virtue of having been appointed to represent their nation, they are a figure in world affairs. I am clearly not alone in thinking this, since it is a case made by others on the previous AfD for this article. It is not a consensus view, but nor is the contrary view. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 17:40, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply
I realise now that this is what you mischaracterise in your rationale as "an incorrect assumption of inherent notability which is not true", but a more honest statement would have been "a conviction of inherent notability that I do not share". -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 17:51, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply
I understand your point but I do not agree with it and I think the analogy with NPOL is stretched well past breaking. Specific notability criteria ie presumed/inherent notability, exist because they presume that, by virtue of those criteria, that reliable sources are likely to exist even if not readily found. One can presume that material exists on, for instance, a national level political figure. (Note - I do not concede NPOL is a good policy only that it is one and it must be dealt with.) In the case of Ambassadors most of their work is not public, it deals with state-state international relations. There is no reason to presume that sources on them will be available and indeed the vast majority have done nothing worthy of note and have no significant coverage. Those Ambassadors who do make a significant public contribution will be covered in the press or in some other reliable source so they will pass GNG. If they have done nothing of note there will be no significant coverage and no need for a stand alone article. Arguing for presumed notability in those cases is arguing for perma-stubs or articles based on non-independent sources. Jbh Talk 18:21, 5 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he has played for the Greek U-19 team, and that he has been an unused substitute for Olympiacos.

I don't believe this book meets WP:NBOOK. The article, even after a bit of editing, rings of advertising. No reviews are provided towards notability, and I'm not having too much luck finding substantial coverage in recognized outlets. Searching is a bit tedious as I'm tripping over interviews and placement pieces for the authors PR campaign. (Note that this article was edited by the same three or four authors (in the same order?!) that the author's page was. Further, I'm nominating that page for deletion, too.)

The article offers the claim that the book was #4 on an Amazon.com list of picks for 2014, which I was able to reference. However, Amazon's clear goal is selling books -- not editorial review or academic analysis and therefore doesn't confer notability. The article further claims the book was "a NYT and WSJ best seller". It hit #7 on the specialized NYT "Advice & Misc." list for the week of May 4, 2014. [9] It is not on the May 11 or the April 27 lists. Mikeblas ( talk) 01:48, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Sources
  1. Vanity Fair. This article initially seems like it's about Ehrenreich, but the article is about a show that they're putting on. I'd consider it to be usable for the most part, though.
  2. NYT. The NYT is a RS, but this just reprints e-mail correspondence between two people involved in the production of one of the group's shows. I'd consider this to be a WP:PRIMARY source because there's really no commentary on the exchanges. So it'd be usable as a primary source, but it wouldn't give notability.
  3. Huffington Post. This one is iffy. It's the HuffPo, which has always been highly contested on Wikipedia, but it looks to be one of their articles and not one of the blogs. At the same time, the word "Collectin" is never actually mentioned in the article. It might be usable, but it's certainly not the strongest source and not really the type you'd want to be the deciding factor between notable and non-notable.
  4. DaMan. This is pretty much entirely about Ehrenreich. The Collectin is briefly mentioned, but isn't really given enough notice to where it'd be considered an in-depth RS. If the article was about the Collectin it'd probably be usable but this is pretty much a WP:TRIVIAL source given that it's really only briefly mentioned. It's also an interview, which is considered by many to be a primary source.
  5. Interview. This is about the Collectin, but it's also an interview. The reason a lot of people contest interviews and call them primary sources is because so much of the article is just the person being interviewed and is presumed to be unedited, whereas an article written about an exchange with the other person would be. I don't entirely agree with this, but it does make it a weaker source than we'd need to really be able to firmly argue notability.
So far I'm leaning towards a merge and redirect to Alden Ehrenreich, given that his article is fairly short and could contain this information quite easily. I'll see what I can find, though, before making a final decision. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:54, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Merge and redirect to Alden_Ehrenreich#The_Collectin. This actually didn't take long because a search made it fairly clear that what is currently on the article is really all that's out there. Merging this into Ehrenreich's article would be the best outcome here since the group is close to passing on its own, but isn't really enough to fully pass criteria. From what I can see, the group's main claim to fame is that Ehrenreich is one of its founding members and since notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by Ehrenreich's independent notability, the merge/redirect is the best outcome.

Keep Newly discovered information shows song charted in Canada. - Visnvoisnvo

While the song charting does give it some solid ground, it isn't automatically a means of notability. Note that while WP:NSONGS states that songs are probably notable if they've charted, they should also be " the subject[1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." and alls I'm currently seeing is links to Fleetwood Mac fan forums and AllMusic, not one review, or reliable third-party source that discusses the song. Azealia911 talk 22:45, 29 August 2015 (UTC) reply
Guess what! You said it was non-charting. Don't you dare delete this until more votes come in. - Visnvoisnvo
I'm not sure what you're getting at, like I said, a song charting doesn't automatically give it grounds for a keep... perhaps devote less of your energy into giving editors attitude and more time finding reliable sources so this doesn't get deleted.

Weak keep Not a very well known song from Ms. Nicks. The only things I see going for this are the fact that it charted, the article at least has some sources, the song was featured in a soundtrack, it was the cataliyst for the reformation of the Buckingham Nicks lineup, and there is some information other then chart positions and the infobox. On the other hand, the song wasn't a smashing success, there aren't really any strong third party sites, and it's not very well known in general. I was initially undecided, but I feel like the article is notable enough to stay. Just barely. Dobbyelf62 ( talk) 19:22, 9 September 2015 (UTC) reply

I declined a speedy on this for blatant spam, but nonetheless don't think it's an appropriate article subject. While the list of references superficially looks impressive, upon reviewing them, I can't find a single one that even mentions the subject "MOOEC", let alone covers it in sufficient depth to allow for an article. The article appears to be based mainly, if not entirely, on original research, and given that a search for secondary sources specifically covering this subject comes up empty, there's no way to fix that.

  • Delete - most of the article is about MOOCs rather than about this particular course. Most of the references in the article predate the existence of MOOEC, and the only ref that actually is about the article subject is the MOOEC website. Since the article has existed since January 2014 and there is still no coverage in secondary sources, it simply doesn't seem to be notable. -- bonadea contributions talk 14:47, 24 August 2015 (UTC) reply

This sounded like an interesting subject but my searches found nothing at all with News, Books, browser, highbeam, the free library, BBC, The Guardian (aside from the two articles currently listed), SKY News, The Mirror and The Telegraph. In fact, the only links browser found were from 2006 and 2007 and with both company websites now closed, I suspect this closed shortly after this article started especially as there have have hardly been any edits since. At best, the only possibility to save this would be mentioning elsewhere but there's no target. SwisterTwister talk 03:42, 26 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Also - being a Chicago area tech employee I can vouch for their credibility within the midwestern tech scene. To my knowledge they are one of the major players. Just my two cents.

My searches found nothing at all to suggest improvement much less independent notability with noting but the ASTTBC website and, considering, this group was founded in 1999, this is something else. This can probably be mentioned at the ASTTBC but, again, there's not much aside from that website. It's not nsuprising this never got coverage as it only existed 10 years and was mainly a subgroup owned by the ASTTBC. With this group closed and no significant edits since December 2008, there's nothing to suggest keeping. SwisterTwister talk 02:08, 26 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Tagged by DGG for speedy deletion "as an article about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject." I believe it should be deleted as not notable, but I do not believe that it merits speedy deletion. Karl Dickman  talk 00:19, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

In accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines of notability, HappyFunCorp has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I implore you to point out or edit examples of bias or non-neutrality in the article, so we can make the necessary changes and remove this deletion notice. Imarapaholic ( talk) 20:02, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. More precisely, a company with many minor products, none of the individually or collectively notable. The article tries to borrow notability from the major firms that have at one time or another used some of the products, but not everything a notable firm buys is notable. One of Inc's 5000 fastest growing means not yet notable--and not particularly fast-growing either if it doesn't rank higher in that list. The references are mere mentions or PR, or both. They're in my part of Brooklyn, more or less, but that doesn't make them notable either. . DGG ( talk ) 02:07, 2 September 2015 (UTC) reply

When you do a Google News search for "HappyFunCorp," there are plenty of articles that appear, which can add to this page. This company has more than 15 published articles written about it. Can someone please chime in?
