Hi @ JMHamo: Thank you for letting me know about Youtube, and I've replaced that link with one from VTM that WP policies say I should have done in the first place, sorry about that. As for WP:NL not being reliable? That's a confusing issue for me, but not really critical for this issue as I just put it in as a sort of quick reference until I'm able to sort through the over 85 sources I've found to fill out this article. And again, can you please tell me your exact objections to this articles subject? Thanks. Picomtn ( talk) 21:50, 29 April 2016 (UTC) reply

A promotional dump-and-run article for an online essay mill using freelance writers. Despite the impressive-looking list of sources, the article has no reliable sources that actually mention the company. There are three citations to the company's own (less than impressive and not fully functional) website, and everything else is an offline citation to various papers on freelancing, all published before the creation of Essay-giant, and which I doubt very much mention this company. I have been unable to find any reliable sources that confirm this company's existence. Fails WP:GNG, WP:CORP and WP:WEBSITE (since I'm not sure this really qualifies as a company).

  • Keep. Event covered by articles in national newspapers indicates notability to me. I am unclear as to the relevance of WP:SINGLEEVENT: I think a biographical article on Jose Figueroa himself would fall foul of it, but I don't see how an article on the event for which he is notable can do. The fact that the article is substantially written by an editor with a COI is not to me a reason to delete it, though it might be a reason that it needs cleaning up.

  • Comment. Please also look at this version of the article, before it was eviscerated in 2013 by an SPA. Though it probably only shows why an A7 would have been inappropriate rather than giving any reason to keep the article. PWilkinson ( talk)
  • Delete. Nothing here (or in the pre-blanking version from 2013 either) constitutes a substantive WP:AUTHOR pass, and no reliable source coverage at all has been cited in either version. And the blanking was actually semi-justified, as well, since the pre-blanking version contained both an advertorial slant and some unsourced WP:BLP issues. A writer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists — reliable source coverage which verifies a proper claim of notability (rather than mere existence) must be present to support one, but nothing remotely like that has ever been shown in any version of this article all the way back to its original creation.

The result was redirect to Prince (musician)#Illness and death. Clear consensus to delete or redirect, but some editors voted delete per WP:TOOSOON, and expressed the opinion that the topic may gain notability in the future. This article is reasonably well-developed, so closing this as redirect would allow its page history to be accessible by everyone. "Death of Prince" is a plausible search term for this topic, so keeping this as a redirect is appropriate. (non-admin closure) SSTflyer 12:02, 29 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Keep The quality of the writing of this article is crap but only because 1 or 2 editors have worked on it for about 15 minutes. The amount of material is staggering and the outline suggests much more can be written. When we look at other famous contemporaries to Prince, like Michael Jackson and Jimi Hendricks, both have "Death of __-" articles. Add to that there are public relations lies, such as the flu, and the vast outpouring of grief, there is much to write. If we look at the reliable sources, there are many about the death of Prince, not just about Prince. BIG NOTE: Death of Jimi Hendricks is a Featured Article, showing that certain big deaths are really Wikipedia materials. ( Personal attack removed) Nomination of this as an AFD and the nominator making the budding article worse by removing stuff is [wrong].( Personal attack removed) No one in their right mind is going to help improve the article if there is an AFD cloud over its head so we should close this as a keep and revisit it in about 1 month....that is the fair way, ( Personal attack removed).

Such suggestion violates Wikipedia rules. If this suggestion is followed for all articles, Wikipedia could not exist because it takes several editors to collaborate.

  • Delete - Everything I've read so far says that there's nothing particularly out of the ordinary about his death. It wasn't a homicide, suicide, no foul play suspected etc. Once the autopsy is out, his death will probably just be summed up in a sentence or two. It's better to be presented as a subsection in the main Prince article. Sergecross73 msg me 23:50, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

A death article may be warranted, but right now it's too soon. We don't even know the cause of death yet. Notable content, such as his music going to #1, can go in his regular article. Content solely about Cornell covering him is not notable at all, but if there are a substantial number of prominent artists covering him, then that can also be added.

I am the creator of the reactions article and recommend merge. That AFD is mostly delete. Therefore, the above post is canvasssing and illegal. Therefore, the deciding administrator should be aware of voter misconduct and decide on a keep. Whiskeymouth ( talk) 03:55, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Whiskeymouth: Softlavender's notification was appropriate. Did you even read WP:CANVASS before making this accusation? There's nothing "illegal" per se about notifying editors of ongoing discussions; Softlavender pinged a limited group of editors—everyone who participated in a particular AfD—without bias. That's clearly permissible under the policy. Add to that the fact that someone copied without attribution ( diff) pretty much all of Reactions to the death of Prince into this article after that article had been nominated for deletion, which was both a violation of our copyright, see WP:ATTREQ, and a blatant circumvention of the deletion discussion, cf. WP:EDITATAFD (essay) ("Participants in deletion discussions should not circumvent consensus by merging or copying material to another article unilaterally before the debate closes.").  Rebb ing  04:25, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Respectfully, that's nonsense. Or comedy. Dirroli ( talk) 03:27, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply
additional comment "Needed" is not a Wikipedia criteria. WP:GNG is a criteria for AFD. It passes. Specifically,
  • "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
  • "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
  • "Sources"[2] should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.[3] Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
  • "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.[4]
Viola! You can dislike the article, you can not like the Wikipedia criteria, but Death of Prince easily meets the criteria. Since Wikipedia is not a vote, it is a strong keep as it meets the requirements for an article Likewise, the Death of Roger Bradshaw is NOT notable as it only has this minor mention http://wcfcourier.com/lifestyles/announcements/obituaries/death-notices-for-thursday-april/article_a5cea86e-7d3f-5bcd-92c7-11aa8b957b78.html Whiskeymouth ( talk) 03:46, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Whiskeymouth, with respect, you are confusing temporary newsworthiness with significant longterm notability. The same sort of uptick in news happened recently the same way when David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Robin Williams, and Phillip Seymour Hoffmann died in recent memory. But that doesn't confer encyclopedic notewrthiness -- it just creates a large temporary media swell dwelling on the person and their career and significance. There was absolutely nothing unusual about Prince's death (except possibly that he was somewhat young, and he had also been out of the general public awareness for quite a long time). Both of those factors create a surpise when the person dies -- but it doesn't last. Softlavender ( talk) 04:00, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply
You forgot the last part of the WP:GNG: ""Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not"(emphasis mine) Commenters here have argued that this article does not merit a stand alone article and many (including myself) have pointed to WP:What Wikipedia is not.

Death of David Bowie wasn't created until 4.5 weeks after he died, when it was evident there was some actual significant content for it beyond merely rehashing and unnecessarily expanding the information in the main article and citing Twitter and Facebook. Softlavender ( talk) 04:31, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply

No no no no, this is ridiculous and needs to stop. Death of David Bowie should be deleted too. There needs to be solid ground rules on musicians. They are specifically unimportant, I don't care how special or artistic or 'deep' you think music is. Musicians certainly don't need a separate article describing their death, unless and ONLY IF their death was so elaborate and complicated, that it actually does warrant a separate article. Crystal.seed ( talk) 05:06, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply
I have to personally agree that Death of David Bowie is largely trivial, NEWS-type, dog-bites-man, extremely redundant stuff and should be deleted. There was nothing significant about his death; he died quietly of cancer. Softlavender ( talk) 05:20, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Reactions & things like dedications count towards the death of someone important. The article passes WP:LASTING in what has been done, and what is going to be done. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 17:24, 25 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Note to Administrator: This cannot be done. I merge it and there was a fight at the main Prince article and it was removed. On the other hand, this sub-article is stable and not subject to edit wars. Therefore, suggesting merging is just drama and will lead to the destruction of information (like book burning). Sorry, this article meets WP:GNG and is stable but will result in contentious debates and edit warring if forced to merge with the main article. Whiskeymouth ( talk) 04:59, 23 April 2016 (UTC) reply

I ever so personally believe you are being disruptive, and are purposely avoiding the use of common sense.

However, this should not result in attacking this article as an AFD but rather a Wikipedia-wide discussion on how if we want to modify our GNG and N criteria for article inclusion. Wikipedia is not a vote as has been written many, many times in other AFDs. Wikipedia is not an "I don't like it so delete". Already, we have seen that this article is too detailed and big for the main Prince article but sufficiently detailed and appropriate for a Death of Prince article.

The continuing coverage about his death and related aspects is very notable. Whiskeymouth ( talk) 05:26, 26 April 2016 (UTC) reply
That makes him notable, not the death. The news is because of who died, not because the death itself was notable. The day the music died is a notable event about peoples death, The death of Elvis was a notable event but only because of who died, and that is why we cover it in Elvis.

  • Weak keep Prince's death has triggered a significant outpouring of grief. As it stands now, there is plenty of noteworthy coverage with respect to the death. It is notable as an event on its own -- and in this case I would argue that notability is inherited, Prince being a notable figure would mean his death, especially how sudden and shocking it was, has an acceptable degree of notability. Info would get swamped if merger to main were to happen. Kingoflettuce ( talk) 08:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • If years later this is still true then I would agree with you. But there is a significant reaction because it is happening now. We should not edit based on recentism. Even the Elvis does not have a Death of Elvis page, and there was certainly a greater reaction to his death at the time. HighInBC 08:21, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • That's a separate article; each case merits its own arguments -- but ever consider that the converse could be argued? We could make a case for the Elvis death article? Not existing doesn't mean existence shouldn't be. Kingoflettuce ( talk) 09:02, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I am talking about this article. My point is that a lot of important people have died and there was a great amount of fuss about it. I am providing an argument against the idea that a lot of reaction immediately after a death makes the death itself a notable event. It was an eventuality. Right now we don't even know how the death occurred. It is not encyclopedic to have an article on a death unless the death itself had importance beyond the person who died, otherwise it belongs in the article about the person. If it turns out to be an assassination or something unusual I will revisit my opinion. HighInBC 09:09, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • I'm not seeing the volume of content or substance necessary to make this justifiable as a separate topic in its own right from his existing biography. Separate "death of notable person" articles should, in reality, be a lot rarer than they are — they're certainly warranted in extraordinary circumstances on the order of JFK at Dealey Plaza, but every famous person who dies (as all famous people eventually will, by virtue of the fact that famous people are people) does not automatically need one of these just because there was reaction to the death (which all famous people's deaths will always generate, by virtue of the fact that famous people are famous): the justification for an article like this is extended cultural impact, over much longer than the first two or three days. If things get so JFK-fishy that Barack Obama appoints an entire commission to investigate it, or if a Cobain-style conspiracy theory emerges that one of his ex-wives actually had him murdered which lasts for so long that the Minneapolis police are still releasing statements about it twenty years from now, that would be a good basis for a separate article — but "Rihanna and Oprah Winfrey tweeted that they were sad" is not.

  • Redirect to the section in Prince (musician), because I suppose it is a legitimate search term, and it's just possible it will become notable at some point in the future (I would argue that Death of Elvis Presley has; it's continued to be discussed). Right now, as others have pointed out, it's notable only in the context of Prince's notability and falls squarely in NOTTHENEWS territory. Somewhere there is or was an essay with a title something like "100 newspapers", which pointed out that events often receive a flurry of news coverage, but that this doesn't make them notable. I'm sorry I failed to find it, because I think that's exactly what's at issue here: there's a lot of coverage but no indication it will be anything but transient.

  • Keep I mentioned on the talk it needs to be cleaned up/and if deleted the more relevant things need to be moved to the main article. His death is still a moving story--there isn't obvious foul play, but more to the story may happen and the additional details so as long as they are correct are better. Just because a person has an article does not mean there cannot be an article about a significant moment in their life. The day the music died is an example of this--the story about how they died is culturally relevant beyond doubt. This story is still unfolding. I'm not sure how relevant stuff like Justin Bieber's comments are on his death but it is relevant technically to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.114.1.204 ( talk) 16:57, 24 April 2016 (UTC) <— 75.114.1.204 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. reply

A separate article about their death should be created when there's significant coverage in independent reliable sources of details that are not biographical.

  • Comment There seems to be a lot of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which should cause reflection but Wikipedia rules need to be followed, which would be a keep. This is because the article far exceeds the requirements of notability. There are many, many reliable sources about the death of Prince. These sources are not about Prince but about his death. They continue to come out even many days after his death and cover different aspects. Some have said that there was no proven murder or conspiracy, but that is not an article requirement. Some have been accused of not having many edits and at least one delete vote comes from someone who gives thanks for being notified. Some have tried to cross out comments and falsely accuse others.

Celebrity news may not be your cup of tea, but that's not what this discussion is about.

This is not about what I perceive to be my cup of tea. Were you not able to comprehend anything else I wrote? Again, to me you seem to be arguing for no apparent reason, just for the sake of argument. Entertainment is a big industry, with literally billions of dollars involved. This generally weighs against the credibility of any body or institution, because, with a little common sense, you can see how easy it would be to manipulate sources of information, release your own false information, or generally be biased for the purpose of profiteering. The mainstream music scene is definitely not exempt from this. Once again I will remind you how these are not scholarly or wholesome matters of subject.

  • Whether or not Prince was more important than Lennon or vice versa, that is not my point. From a basic common sense standpoint, a psychotic gunman shooting a major celebrity dead on his doorstep in NYC with the ensuing worldwide mass coverage including a US network television football game being interrupted to have Howard Cosell announce it certainly meets Wiki standards for a notable crime. The article would include discussion of the perp and any court procedures, all of which are outside the scope of the article on the celebrity's life and career. In the case of Prince, there has so far been no crime alleged much less committed and if he simply died of a health problem or even an OD when he ws alone at home, it could be handled in a couple of paragraphs of his main article with an additional section for public reactions.

  • Keep – as articles grow, they are subject to WP:SPLIT. If this material were in the Prince article, it would naturally be split off to this title. This is how we accommodate expansion of subjects:

If an article becomes too large, or a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article, it is often appropriate for some or all of the article to be split into new articles. In some cases, refactoring an article into child or sister articles can allow subtopics to be discussed more fully elsewhere without dominating a general overview article to which they are non-central (but only if the new articles are themselves sufficiently notable to be included in the encyclopedia).

And since Prince's death has gotten coverage worldwide, with articles in major newspapers dedicated specifically to it, rather than merely an obituary listing, it is a notable event. The Transhumanist 01:36, 28 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Bowie's death was barely discussed, the coverage was far more about people's massive reactions to it. His death though was uncontroversial: it was sudden, unexpected and unquestioned (Bowie isn't claimed to still be working in a chipshop with Elvis). Similarly for Prince: unexpected, yet the rapid funeral suggests that the post mortem suggested no controversial aspect to it.

Delete or redirect to Meghan Trainor per WP:NSONGS. Song has never charted, has no sales stats, no certifications, no awards, no covers. Few sources and little to no media coverage available. Fails GNG, is WP:TOOSOON. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:13, 14 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Weak Keep for notability from having a promotional single release. I don't mean to offend anyone, but "Few sources and little to no media coverage available" just sounds like a kind-of bullcrap statement in my eyes, given that the song has been reviewed in a fair amount of independent sources following its promo single release. A little bit short, but not so much that its stub length. Its possible the article will expand as more opinions of the song in album reviews and chart positions of the track from digital downloads of the album will occur, but I'll only keep my vote a weak keep just so this statement isn't too WP:CRYSTALBALL-Y. editorEهեইдအ😎 00:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep – this does meet WP:NSONGS since it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. The sources cited in the article are generally considered reliable for music articles, and they are neither reprints of press releases nor advertisements. Note that NSONGS states that songs meeting this guideline are only "probably" notable; most of the sources in the article are published over a short time frame. That said, I don't think WP:NOTNEWS applies here, since this article is not about an event, and I think the coverage this has received amount to a pass of WP:GNG, albeit weakly. Note that if this is determined to be non-notable, it should be merged and/or redirected to Thank You (Meghan Trainor album) instead of Meghan Trainor. I also don't think that Calvin999's edit-warring on this article is appropriate. WP:BLAR is appropriate if no one opposes, but when someone has reverted the redirecting, and concerns about notability still exist, AfD is the correct venue. SSTflyer 14:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep – I have to agree with the above comments as the single has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. The sources cited in the article are reliable for music articles and establish its notability. However, I do understand the side saying that this should be deleted (primarily as this has not been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts), but I would say its notability comes from being a promotional single release with at least some independent coverage separate from album reviews. I agree that if this is found to be non-notable that this should be merged and/or redirected to Thank You (Meghan Trainor album) instead of Meghan Trainor as it makes more sense to be linked with the parent album as opposed to the artist.

The lack of independent sources is glaring. We have the guy's author profile on the Huffington Post. We have this piece of cruft - I'm not quite sure what a blank page is supposed to attest. We have an Amazon sale page for his book - available used for $0.01! We've got the article that gave him his fifteen minutes of fame - well, it's no J'accuse…! We have the follow-up article in which he responds to reader comments. And of course there's the lecture announcement, posted by the venue paying the subject to deliver the lecture.

Needless to say, none of these sources (aside from, I suppose, the cruft one) is independent. And we do need independent sources if we're going to have an article - specifically, "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". The article creator claims the subject is notable for two reasons. The first: "he was the chairman of one of the largest advertising firms in the world". Sorry, but being the CEO of Young & Rubicam doesn't automatically make you notable. You do still need some kind of independent coverage. The second: "he has authored two books". Again, authoring two or twenty or two thousand books isn't what counts: it's satisfying the criteria laid down by WP:BASIC, something that plainly has failed to happen. - Biruitorul Talk 14:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment - Is Stanford enough for you retract this inappropriate nomination for deletion now Masterknighted ( talk) 16:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

    • The point is not that The New York Times isn't credible, it's that two articles by Peter Georgescu cannot be used as evidence that Peter Georgescu is notable. You can't get much less independent than that.
    • Please come up with independent sources - i.e., not their own website, or his website - that comment on Georgescu's membership in the advertising hall of fame.
    • Please show secondary sources regarding this "big stir in the income inequality debate".
    • As I said, heading Young & Rubicam, or having financial interests, or delivering lectures, or even having an interesting story about how one emigrated - none of these is sufficient in itself for notability; independent sources are needed.
    • No, a glowing puff piece, essentially a press release for his book (now ranked 458,459 by Amazon), in the Stanford Business School's alumni magazine about a man who earned an MBA from - you guessed it - Stanford Business School is not really independent coverage, either.
    • But of course I have political reasons! When I say I'd like this deleted for lack of independent sources and patently failing WP:BASIC, what I really mean is that, as an unreconstructed Stalinist, I wish this bourgeois enemy of the people had remained in the Gulag and perished there as fast as possible, and since that didn't happen, my second best option is to try to consign him to a damnatio memoriae and make sure as few people as possible learn about this perfidious obstacle in the way of the glorious classless society of which I dream. You got me!
    • And no, I'm not going to withdraw this perfectly appropriate nomination - unless there's unanimous support for keeping it, it's going to run for about a week, I will try my best to ensure the article is deleted, and you will just have to deal with that. - Biruitorul Talk 16:56, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment. - All of this already qualifies him as notable second he was part of a famous case involving the trading of spies. This is absolutely ludicrous the response the article in the New York Times solicited and the position he took in the income inequality debate originating from someone inside the Capitalist structure alone qualifies him .. Honestly I can see no other reason you would argue with the skill of a trial attorney that he is not notable when he clearly is and break it down as such is that you do not like him for some political reason and second read the second NYT article is not by Georgescu it is an interview a q&a which the Times felt was a necessary follow up after the huge (in the words of Trump, Sanders and David) response to his opinion piece.

    • Doing remarkable things isn't enough; they key is "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject".
    • Actually, yes, the second Times article is also by him. As it says, "Here, Mr. Georgescu addresses a few [reader] comments".
    • No, a brief press release from the State Department is probably not significant and independent coverage, particularly given how cases such as his were seen by the US government as victories (albeit minor ones) in the Cold War. Even a mention in an independent source - say, a newspaper - would probably best fit in at Romania–United States relations.
    • Anyway, I think we've both made our positions clear; let's see what others have to say. But impugning my motives isn't going to get you very far - I have good policy-based reasons for wanting this deleted, nothing more. - Biruitorul Talk 17:19, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • DeleteWeak keep but article needs to reflect his business notability. I'm lLooking at him as AUTHOR and he does not meet that criterion. He has one book in >800 libraries, and one in ~50. I found no substantial reviews of either, and Publisher's Weekly has a rather unenthusiastic paragraph on his autobiography (which is what the second book is). Like nom, I was unable to find significant third-party articles. He is listed in the American Advertising Hall of Fame here. That's a link that could be added to the article. There are folks who consider CEO of a large company sufficient for notability. I prefer to hold out for a true GNG based on sources. LaMona ( talk) 18:02, 27 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • The subject is covered in many reliable sources as a businessperson, and passes WP:GNG and WP:BASIC. For starters, WP:GNG is a stronger guideline compared to WP:NAUTHOR, which is essentially a secondary notability guideline. It's inherently unfair and unbalanced to judge notability upon a very specific notability criteria when the subject passes more basic ones. North America 1000 18:53, 27 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • LaMonauh, Peter Georgescu passes WP:GNG and WP:BASIC with flying colors. WP:NAUTHOR would be relevant for essentially an author who has also done some business (e.g., Janwillem van de Wetering), not for essentially an executive who has also written some books. How do we know he is foremost an executive? Because this is the field where has had most coverage and is included in a hall of fame. gidonb ( talk) 19:04, 30 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Gidonb, it would be helpful if you could say exactly which sources you consider to meet GNG. I see writings BY him; two pages in the Hunter book (anecdotal); a significant article in AdWeek (RS); responses to something he wrote in NYT (not about him); a summary of a talk he gave in Palm Beach Daily News (not a strong sourceC); one name check in a Dept of State book; a one-page article in the Economist of 1999 (RS) which I can't see. So by my calculations, with these new sources he squeaks by GNG. However, the article needs them added, and his own writings should not be used as references. In fact, his own writings, since you agree that he is not notable as an author, should be be given undue weight in the article. LaMona ( talk) 19:20, 30 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Au contraire, contraire. Unless the interviewer offered his own thoughts or analysis, the interview is primary. Your argument is no different and no more correct than claiming that if the NYT published his opinion piece, they must have thought he was notable else they wouldn't have published it. It simply doesn't work that way. Here at WP, we required that notability be demonstrated by sources not connected to the subject. Interviews simply do not qualify. That said, as I noted above, there are plenty of actual secondary sources demonstrating notability. Msnicki ( talk) 02:30, 1 May 2016 (UTC) reply

This "school" is mentioned specifically as an unaccredited institution, which has been subject to monetary sanction by the Consumer Protection Agency. It does not mention CHEA, and does not support the statement it is attached to in the article. The Bloomberg reference is merely a directory entry. The Guardian article specifically outs this "school" as a diploma mill - their words, not mine. There are no other sources, except the "school" itself. If one were to write this article based on what the sources actually say, it would be an attack piece. And, for the record, ASIC itself has a checkered past, and its capacity to accredit such an institution is questionable, at best. Scr★pIron IV 19:04, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply
    • Comment There is relevant discussion at User_talk:Fouetté_rond_de_jambe_en_tournant#Atlantic_International_University ( permalink). As mentioned by myself and Dr. Fleischman, in the old AfD no fewer than 53 incidental mentions comparable in quality to the current four sources were found, yet the consensus was still to delete. Furthermore, accreditation in and of itself is not ipso facto evidence of notability. Bloomberg has such an automatically generated profile about every company. The State of Hawaii source is a passing mention as an example of an unaccredited university which has been sanctioned for posing as an accredited one. It also concerns me that Fouetté reverted the addition of a speedy G4 tag 3 times despite an explicit request to let an admin make the determination of whether G4 applies. astro ( talk) 20:21, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Astro, please get your facts straight before posting a false statement in this AFD. I did not revert the addition of a speedy tag three times. That statement by you is misleading. I declined the speedy one time. Someone incorrectly put a second speedy on the article after the speedy was declined. As I am sure you must know, if a speedy is declined the next course of action is usually to do a AFD on the article. I removed the speedy that had been placed incorrectly. My edit was then reverted and a speedy was back on the article for a third time. I reverted that edit. Subsequently another editor placed the article at AFD. Please drop the stick. I am concerned about you, Astro misrepresenting my actions in order to try and make some point. Please just drop it! Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant ( talk) 20:44, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Administrators make the final call on speedy deletion candidates. While nonadmins can decline speedy tags under uncontroversial circumstances (and this is something I have done), there is established precedent that if the appropriateness of a tag is disputed, an admin should make the decision. In this case it was clearly an article which has been deleted via AfD and your declining the speedy was incorrect but I accept that it was done in good faith. However, rather than placing a {{hangon}} template on the page and starting a discussion on the talk page, you chose to repeatedly remove the speedy tag after I disputed your decline, which was an inappropriate response given that I had specifically requested the opinion of the patrolling admin on the speedy deletion. astro ( talk) 21:01, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

No indication of notability, basically a dictionary entry. No reliable third-party sources, likely original research, not the appropriate tone for an encyclopedia article.

  • The difference between a dictionary and an encyclopedia is nothing to do with the level of detail. It is that a dictionary covers words and phrases and an encyclopedia covers things and concepts.

  • Delete. Per my comments above I see no evidence that there is any encyclopedic concept here that is not covered in other much better, well sourced, articles. I must add that I disagree completely with the nominator's invocation of WP:TNT, which is an essay that has no support whatsoever in policy or guidelines, and I wish people would stop invoking it in deletion discussions. If something needs rewriting from scratch then that can be done by normal editing without any admin having to press the "delete" button, but in this case the article needs deleting, not rewriting from scratch. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 18:59, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Also, the article gives no examples, neither made-up nor real life, what kind of individual actually would be considered such a person, and it doesn't give the reader any criteria that he could use to determine that either. -- Laber□ T 21:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply

If things need to be improved on this page, do so or leave a request specifying what to improve. Virtual book burning is not the solution. Wikipedia pages are not created for necessity, but for usefulness. Explaining a phrase used in the press, in the media and on social media is useful. No people are named in the article (bar authors), so no people are attacked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rational Absurdity ( talk • contribs) 20:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Self-esteem. The frequency with which a term is used is irrelevant for inclusion here as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There are countless terms which would return lots of ghits that have no place on Wikipedia because Wikipedia just cares about notable concepts rather than word use (which is a hallmark of lexicography, not encyclopedism). There's an overlap between the two reference works, of course, when the term takes on a life of its own, with separate meanings and a great deal of sourcing talking specifically about the term in its own right rather than simply using the term or talking about it in the same way one would talk about a concept we already cover. So we would need coverage of "special snowflake" that talks about that specific term, not using the term in general, and not talking about it as though it's synonymous with a topic we already cover (like self-esteem). If someone could just as easily say "kids who are told they are special to boost their self-esteem, as part of the self-esteem movement", that means we don't need a separate article (although I will say I'm surprised we don't have an article for self-esteem movement -- but this certainly isn't the material to start it with). As with many terms, there are shades of difference between calling someone a "special snowflake" or a "unique and beautiful snowflake" or "unique snowflake" or when someone says that "everybody is their own snowflake" (or any of the other countless terms that are very frequently used and will return a bunch of ghits, but mean more or less the same thing), per WP:NOPAGE (and WP:DICDEF/ WP:NEO), we don't need separate pages for each one. The underlying concept has to do with self-esteem, ego, individuality, etc. so that's where this should go. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:19, 16 April 2016 (UTC) reply

This article is WP:TOOSOON. Wikipedia is not a memorial or a place for a collection of quotes (wikiquote is for that) ( WP:QUOTEFARM). It is also WP:NOTNEWS, specifically "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion."

We have no indication that (1) immediate reactions have lasting notability and (2) any notable actions or comments cannot be included on Prince (musician). General reactions such as lighting buildings purple or turning websites purple can be summarized on the BLP's page. Specific extremely notable quotes that have enduring notability can also be included there. Should there be enough enduring notable reactions (e.g. memorial scholarships, museums, stamps, holidays, events, etc.), this article would be appropriate. Until then, it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Leave the quotes and reactions for Wikiquote and Wikinews for now. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 05:23, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

KEEP It was me that created this article. I am in the middle of an extensive overhaul of articles related to the Edinburgh Fringe, the world's biggest arts festival. There are four big venue chains that have come to dominate the Fringe and have largely shaped what it is today, artistically speaking. He set up one of them, and has run it for over 30 years. He is therefore a fundamental figure in the history of the Fringe. It is for this I believe he is notable, not as a business figure. For comparison, I would argue he is notable in the same way that a manager of a world-famous band or a manager of a cup-winning football team would be. I can and will expand in time.

  • Delete and possibly merge into Assembly (events promoter). This is not a notable BLP. I can appreciate the heartfelt plea of the article creator, however when I am in that same position, also with a BLP, I gather and add all the sources first, then write the article second, and I don't save the article into article space until it can withstand a possible AfD; I wouldn't unleash it into the world with too few references. The article creator can still do this. But as it stands now, all of this article can be stated in the Assembly (events promoter) article. Prhartcom ( talk) 18:25, 24 April 2016 (UTC) reply
    While everyone is free to develop articles in the way they see fit, this is a wiki, and the idea is that one can do as much or little as one wishes (per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY). Therefore people are at liberty to create unreferenced stubs, which is where many of our good articles started. All the best: Rich  Farmbrough, 11:23, 27 April 2016 (UTC). reply

  • Delete - I can't find any reliable sources that would come close to bringing it to WP:GNG, and none are provided with the article. It reads like an advertisement as well, and even if references were found would need significant work to suggest the notability of the subject beyond being a public CV for them.

  • Delete - I was the one who originally wanted to tag this for AFD (a big thanks to Majora for doing it for me - I was having browser trouble :-)). It definitely doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG; there aren't additional sources I could find (other than the sources in the article) regarding this person, and this person doesn't appear to have significant in-depth coverage (enough to create an article without the use of original research) - a requirement in meeting WP:GNG. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 01:27, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: I am actually a bit disappointed by the nominator making these errors for this film released 38-years-ago, and have begun addressing article issues. An issue is that this Tamil film was pre-internet, never released in English or with English coverage, and will need input from Wikipedians better able to find and offer Tamil-language sources. Schmidt, Michael Q. 21:00, 15 April 2016 (UTC). reply
  • My bad. Mixed up this film with another one, which was created by the same user. However, there are no sources (in the article) that confirm the theatrical release of the film. Anyway, I'll try to see if the film is covered in the vernacular media and get back, so that we can withdraw the nomination. — Vensatry (Talk) 07:14, 16 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Merge and redirect to Northanger_Abbey#Allusions.2Freferences_to_other_works. This is already fairly well covered in the main article and while there are some sources out there like this and this, there's really not much to add here that couldn't be better summed up in the main article. I would recommend re-writing the section to be a little more clear, though, since it's almost entirely just a section full of quotes from the book. That doesn't really do much for clarity's sake and there must be a better way to get the point across in fewer words and quotes. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:37, 22 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I've cleaned it up. Offhand the page needs a very, very thorough scrubbing. There's outright OR and POV in the article, what with sentences like "The directness with which Austen addresses the reader, especially at the end of the story, gives a unique insight into Austen's thoughts at the time". This likely isn't incorrect, but it needs to sound less like a personal opinion which should be easily done by including sources and attributing these viewpoints to specific people like scholars and the sort.

General consensus states that all football club season articles should be about a professional football season to be considered notable. Fully professional leagues are listed at WP:FPL. In this season, Stuttgarter Kickers were in the Regionalliga, the third tier at the time, which is not listed as a fully professional league, and therefore not notable, per WP:NSEASONS.

A interesting application, but I'm having numerous notability concerns. The .NET Developer's Journal article is reliable, but a subject must be majorly covered in an article by a NOTABLE publication (or at least notable enough to have its own Wikipedia page) for the subject to be considered notable. The only other source listed here is a magazine article only briefly mentioning the application. A google news search was not of much help either, as most of the articles in that search were about horror films that had nothing to do with the program. editorEهեইдအ😎 21:40, 8 April 2016 (UTC) reply

    • OK, maybe WP:MERCY only applies if that argument was by a person who edited the page, but this is still an invalid argument given that you did not comment to keep the article based on any notability standard. Saying that "See if this article can be improved for a couple days before deleting it" is not valid given that the article has been around for a long time and barely any good sources have popped up about the topic. editorEهեইдအ😎 20:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Notability not adequately established. This is a neophyte art director in Indian cinema--a crew member. He's not a film director. Anyhow, GNG has not been met as the only references we can consider (not Facebook, not LinkedIn) are passing mentions like this where writers ask him a quick question (i.e. an interview, i.e. a primary source that can't establish notability). Nothing significant at Google News or Books, and the more specialized Indian newspaper search engine doesn't turn up much of significance.

Nothing suggests she meets the notability requirements for a politician (which she would if she had a high enough ranking public health appointment, such as Surgeon General of the US to go to a level none would dispute), nor is there any evidence she meets the notability criteria for an academic.

The event doesn't seem to satisfy the notability criteria at WP:EVENT. There are no references in any reliable third party sources. The event itself is confined to a local region, its WP:LASTING effects are unclear (if any) and no WP:INDEPTH coverage in major news websites. Lemongirl942 ( talk) 10:28, 14 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. This proves that the McKim book Experiences in visual thinking cited in the reference section does not actually have any mention of the article subject at all. A social media LinkedIn.com SlideShare created by the article subject creator is a primary source, not a reliable secondary source. That means that this article is completely unreferenced.

Non notable martial artist since rank does not show notability on WP. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. Nothing shows he's notable as a martial artist and the only significant independent coverage is an interview in the local (Tryon, NC) newspaper. Mdtemp ( talk) 15:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Redirect to List of diplomatic missions of Ukraine, and not just this one; please nominate all similar two-sentence articles appearing as blue links in the "Diplomatic missions of Ukraine" template found at the bottom of the article. Please note that the parallel article France–Ukraine relations now redirects to the main Foreign relations of France article, giving more of a reason to redirect this one.

I see no wins on the ATP tour or the minor league Challenger Tour. No Davis Cup appearance or no Junior top 3 ranking. This is a non-notable tennis player per Tennis Project Guidelines.
