Rai Hamilton (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD · Stats)

Contested PROD. My original rationale was as follows: "Having removed a lot of serious WP:BLP violations, I simply think that the sources (tabloids) fail to establish notability. This provides the most coverage, but it's simply a gossip piece about the couple's legal troubles. And all the coverage seems to be centered around his wife, not the man himself." The previous versions of the article said he's an author, but this was unsourced.

Since then, a lot of unsourced material was removed, yet the article in itself does not establish Rai Hamilton's own notability (i.e. the article focuses mainly on his wife, and in a very unfavorable manner). Furthermore, the two sources provided hardly mention Mr. Hamilton at all; both are rather breathless tabloids, to boot. The first article mentions him twice, giving little information besides his very brief statement on a man's death. The second is almost totally about his wife; it says Rai is a financier who bought a castle and is involved in a lot of dramah regarding the property, legal issues, and his marriage. Another source I found ( [1]) tells you all you really need to know: Rai Hamilton is rich and involved in personal drama, but mere mentions in the tabloids is just not enough to establish true notability. The biggest issue seems to be his legal concerns, but this perhaps puts it into WP:BLP1E territory. GAB Hello! 22:00, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Website of questionable notability. Substantial coverage in reliable sources is neither cited nor apparent in a Google search. As is to be expected, the article reads vaguely promotional (I cleaned the lead up somewhat) and as a part of the website's advocacy of its issues. Also, the website seems to be dead, so future coverage is unlikely.  Sandstein  21:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

A similar Google books search, and one Highbeam search, found some of the same sources. Bearian ( talk) 23:38, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply
I'm unconvinced sourced like " https://www.amazon.ca/gp/search?index=books&linkCode=qs&keywords=9781608994373" constitute something related to this organization. They seem like two distinct uses of 'The Dinah Project'. I haven't read in details, so I can't say for sure, but a simple google search does not seem to distinguish between the two, if the two are indeed distinct. There's lots of thing that seems to be related to Monica Coleman, an American theologian, and very little on the UK-based initiative.

This incident was a major event in Galway City at the height of the Irish War of Independence in 1921. It generated outrage in Galway, and received much attention at the time in both regional and national newspapers, and has been included in several history books about the period. The killing of 18 year old Folan created similar outrage to the killing of 18 year old Kevin Barry in Dublin. Michael Collins the Chief of Staff of the Irish Army ordered an investigation into the death. It was an infamous episode carried out by the Black and Tans and was one of a number of incidents which proved to LLoyd George and Winston Churchill that elements of their own forces were out of control and that a Military solution to the conflict was not possible. This occurred in May 1921, the truce between the Irish led by Michael Collins and the British was agreed in July 1921. Thanks. • Galwaybuck ( talk) 17:57, 02 April2016 (UTC)

@• Galwaybuck -- please spare us the history lessons and partisan rhetoric. What is notable in Galway is no more universally notable than what is notable in Brooklyn, New York or Helena, Montana or Quintana Roo, Mexico or Ulaan Bator, Mongolia, which is to say usually not enough to merit a standalone article on Wikipedia or in any encyclopaedia, although it all depends on the facts and the circumstances. The unfortunate Mr Folan doesn't qualify. Quis separabit? 01:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Apologies sorry if I sounded like I was giving a history lecture or trying to be partisan, I was just trying to explain why I thought this was a notable incident, and to put the incident in a historical context. I was trying to say that the incident attracted national and international attention as evidenced by its inclusions in national newspapers and it was brought up in the House of Commons, and a street was named after him. .

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a local district attorney. This is not a claim of notability that automatically gets a person into Wikipedia just because he exists, per either WP:LAWYERS or WP:NPOL -- he'd be eligible for an article if he passed WP:GNG, but of the three sources here two are primary (staff profile on the county's own website, a table of raw election results) and the only one that counts as reliable source coverage is barely longer than a blurb. This is not good enough sourcing to make him more notable than the norm. Delete. Bearcat ( talk) 18:58, 31 March 2016 (UTC) reply

The result was redirect to Adi Kapyare Kootamani#Sequel. The keep arguments don't cite any policy-based reasons to keep. There's a majority arguing to delete or redirect; not such a big majority that I would normally feel comfortable declaring a consensus, but the weakness of the keep arguments pushes it over the line. If/when sources appear which meet our notability requirements for films, it's easy enough to undo the redirect. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:47, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete This film has no sources saying that the production is under way or any other "new" news about the pre-production. If you observe the available sources here and here, both dated 28 December 2015, they are just follow-ups to the apparent success of the original film.

  • Delete - Not even a claim to notability here, nevermind WP:GNG. There are a few more sources if you look for other names (like the bands plus "split"). It seems better known as the Le Shok/The Stitches split 7". This is the most substantial source I could find, but not a very good source. Regardless, it's basically a 7" single, with one song on each side. Highly unlikely to get a whole lot of attention. The standard outcome would be to redirect to the artist page, but it's hard to say which of the two. My inclination is to say delete and I'm indifferent if someone wants to redirect to one or the other. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:07, 13 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a person whose only discernible claim of notability is as a creator of instructional YouTube videos -- which, as always, only becomes a claim of notability if and when reliable sources, namely media, start writing about his work as a creator of YouTube videos. But nothing like that has been shown here. A prior speedy for lacking a basic claim of notability was removed, with a source listed in the edit summary rather than being added to the article, but that source is actually about a different person who merely happens to have the same name as the subject of this article.

Does not meet WP:BIO notability. Of the sources listed, the first few are primary sources and only mention the subject in passing. The only source that obviously meets WP:RS, Bloomberg, is nothing but a single quote from McNaught. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:23, 30 March 2016 (UTC) reply

None of that sourcing is good enough, no. Of the references that have actually been properly used as footnotes for specific content in the article, four of the six are primary or unreliable sources that cannot support notability at all — and one of the two that does count for something just namechecks his existence a single time as a soundbite-giver, while not being about him. Literally the only one of those that even starts to count for anything at all is the Cornell University Archives page — but that can support biographical details, while not being enough to get him over WP:GNG by itself as the article's only good source. And the sources you've contextlessly added under the footnotes don't contribute anything either: one is his own website, which is a valid external link but cannot confer notability as anyone can start a website about themselves; one is a repetition of one of the footnotes; one is another invalid primary source; and while one of them is an actual newspaper article, it's not a very long one and doesn't really add anything new to the article besides reverification that he exists. So no, the references haven't shown that notability is there. Bearcat ( talk) 15:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC) reply

  • There's a potentially valid claim of notability here, but the references aren't good enough to support it: right across the board, it's almost all primary and unreliable sources. A writer does not automatically qualify for a Wikipedia article just because it's possible to verify in primary sources that he exists — he gets an article when reliable source coverage about (not just mentioning) him in media can be shown which verifies a WP:CREATIVE pass. The guy's been active for long enough that a better class of sourceability might be possible in databases that I don't have access to, but we don't keep an article just because the quality of sourcing needed to make an article keepable might exist, if the article isn't making a slam-dunk notability claim on the order of winning a Pulitzer — we keep an article only if and when the necessary volume and quality of sourcing can be shown to definitely exist. So I'm willing to revisit this if much more solid sourcing can actually be shown, but the sourcing that's present here now doesn't cut it. Delete. Bearcat ( talk) 15:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC) reply

You asked for newspaper references and credible resources and they were supplied. Is this because the author stands for Gay rights and you have an issue with a gay author? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrrfunding ( talkcontribs) 17:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC) reply

You haven't provided enough newspaper references, and most of your other sources don't count as credible ones. And you clearly need to spend a lot more time around here if you think it has anything to do with him being gay — I'm an out gay man who was the original creator of probably more of our articles about LGBT writers than any other individual editor. But being LGBT doesn't entitle a person to an exemption from having to pass WP:GNG, either — even an LGBT writer still has to be properly sourceable as passing WP:AUTHOR.

However, Mr. McNaught does indeed seem to be a go-to expert on the topic - I found sources like Bloomberg, HRC and CNN using him as an expert on diversity and sensitivity training.

This does not pass WP:CORP. By looking at 5 random references that are given they don't meet the threshold for achieving notability. The first one is a homepage about the product which is a primary source. The second one is a PRNews Wire article that is not WP:RS. The third one is an announcement about a deal signed with a notable company HP. The fourth one is a review of the android app and the website that has done the review PCMag.com is owned by j2global which also owns efax - at least from the disclosure on the PCMag android app review. This Yahoo finance article has a passing mention about eFax being a product owned by J2Global. This fifth one is a press release via market wired and there is nothing concrete about efax in addition to it being a non-reliable source. To add to the above there is a BBB review reference that is not a relieble source as seen here Maharayamui ( talk) 05:55, 29 March 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I really hoped I could save it. However I can not see how. There might be more contribution to the field than I can find, but what I have found is not promising. I do not see him passing the Academic prong 1, which would involve making significant contributions to his field. He co-authored a text book, but I am not seeing that or his articles. His "Mental Health Counseling: A Stakeholders Manifesto" has 15 citations, which is the highest I can find on google scholar. The abstract says he is "a pioneer stakeholder in the formation of the mental health counseling movement" which I am not sure what it really means. I don't think that abstract reference is enough to establish notability. He was at one point president of the American Mental Health Counselors Association, but that if you look for it in Wikipedia is just a redirect. I do not think it would count as a "major academic society" per criteria 6 for academic notability. On the other hand his work in relation to Jewish and Israel issues might make him notable. However while I can find lots of articles, often however op-ed articles although he has been a regular contributor to the Jerusalem Post, I can not find any actual coverage of him other than a listing as past board member on the website of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, and that is a directory listing. Articles that cover opposition to the Boycott of Israel, which he is vocal in opposing, only showed up in my search for him because he made comments in the comments section, not because he had made contributions to debates on college campuses that were felt to be worth considering. So I just cannot find how he passes any notability criteria, and I do not see any coverage that indicates that he passes the General Notability Guidelines. The Catholic Priest named Edward Beck is far more notable and dominates a straight out search for that name, so I may have missed something, but my search leads me to think there is nothing to miss.

In my view this is a derogatory article about a living person. There is already discussion of this topic under "parody song" within Magical negro which is about a term that criticizes/exposes the racism of American culture, as opposed to the topic of this article, which twists that into racism and snickers over it. That we actually have an article called this, is extremely messed up, not to mention a BLP violation. I will be clear that I stumbled across this article while thinking about standards for articles about political figures based on Short-Fingered Vulgarian which is in the process of being overwhelmingly deleted by the community here. This article was never put up for AfD and was even on the front page of Wikipedia via a DYK. Hard to reckon. There are going to be all kinds of arguments about "well sourced" - well that is not the point, as I understand it. Derogatory intent trumps multiple independent sources. Some may call this filing POINTy; my intent is not to be disruptive but rather to understand how this article about racist mocking with its racist title can exist, a) when the topic is discussed in another article and b) while Short-Fingered Vulgarian cannot when both are sourced out the wazoo. I really don't get it. So let's see what kinds of arguments are brought, and if the article survives. (It should not; when I came across it I wanted to AfD it but I held back to avoid accusations of POINTy. But my question is authentic, not ironic, so here we go) Jytdog ( talk) 07:15, 7 April 2016 (UTC) (redact to clarify Jytdog ( talk) 18:16, 7 April 2016 (UTC)) reply

  • keep It's an article on a derogatory topic about a living person. However I also believe it to be a notable derogatory topic, and that's what matters here. The magical negro trope already has its own article, it's a topic that deserves serious consideration. This song is what happens when some people with a clear political agenda find that trope and use it against their favoured target of the time. I have sympathy for Obama over this, and I recognise Jytdog's point here, but it's tough at the top - one of the costs of running for President is becoming a target for this sort of abuse.
BTW - when his term's up and he can't constitutionally run again, can you please send him over this way to the UK? We have a vacancy for a new Prime Minister and we could really use his abilities here. Andy Dingley ( talk) 09:44, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Merge into Magical negro. I fail to see the 'derogatory article' of the proposer, Sharpton seems more crudely maligned than Obama and white voters the ultimate target. The song itself may have been cruelly derogatory but it was also notably derogatory and the article is reporting, not 'snickering'. This article is different from the Trump AfD, there the subject is little more than a periodically regurgitated snipe with a high infantile snigger-factor. I'm not US, and I find this informative both for the attempt to discredit Obama/his supporters, and for how it partly backfired. Though the term is a crude way of satirising the fact, it is hardly a state secret that Obama was able to appeal to white voters because he was black, but not 'too black'.

  • Keep The deletion arguments strike me as inherently designed to censor Wikipedia. Beyond this, they misunderstand that nature of the song, which is inherently mocking the extreme grievance culture cultivated by Al Sharpton, including his aiding and abbetting the lies of Tawana Bradley. One has to understand how fabricated racial outrages cause people to react to such issues. The song has had demonstrated impact on some who have used it in various campaigns. Wikipedia is not censored, which means that we do not delete articles on impactful songs merely because the title is unpopular to some people.

We already have, as short-fingered vulgarian is a fraction of the size it was, mostly because "too many refs make it less notable" [ sic].

Andy Dingley, bad faith comment.

Non notable housing estate, Most sources don't even mention Clarawood and most are completely unrelated anyway, The creator has also admitted they're a resident of the estate which explains why most of the article is written as someones opinion, All in all IMHO the article should be blown up and started from scratch.

The article Clarawood was created and written by me in February and had been active with some minor edits etc for some weeks. User:CDRL102, who as mentioned in other comments has a history of unwelcome and unnecessary edits to various pages, then made a huge sweeping cut in the article adding tags for referencing and notability etc. User:Davey2010 then, in direct response to an ask br CDRL, listed it for deletion. This was already after some discussion by myself on talk pages and after I added info to the page making them also aware that further info could be added. The AfD was closed after an hour with contributions from only these 2 and before I even knew it was listed or had an opportunity to participate, nevermind the fact it is supposed to sit open for a week anyway. It was userfied and the article was moved to CDRL's sandbox and the page Clarawood was then speedy deleted by another admin User:Malcolmxl5. I asked them to reinstate it and there was some discussion. I then listed a deletion review and as a result an admin has reinstated a Clarawood page and listed it again AfD. It should be noted by anyone paticipating in this that the AfD as listed here is simply the identical one from before with which I had major problems and have already had substantial discussions on with everyone involved. Anyone participating in this AfD, in my view, would be well served by ensuring they read the full breadth of those discussions on the Clarawood talk page, the original AfD and the deletion review, Davey2010's talk, CDRL102's talk and Malcolmxl5's page. Articles are open for editing whilst AfD. Now Clarawood is back as a page - whether temporarily or not - I am editing it back to the form it was in at 21.21 on 22nd March 2016. The article as it now stands, which was in the form edited by CDRL102, is factually incorrect which demonstrates their lack of knowledge and expertise in dealing with the subject. I will also add a note to the Clarawood talk page and I will be expanding the General Reference section over the next day or two which should satisfy any detractors that the article is not referenced or the subject non-notable. In short the article as I will amend and edit it now should be a Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarawood123 ( talkcontribs) 23:17, 8 April 2016 (UTC) Sorry forgot to sign Clarawood123 ( talk) 23:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and allow development, and revisit in a year. Factors are:
  • The article is the main work in Wikipedia so far by a new contributor, and deleting it outright is unnecessary and offensive
  • There's no emergency: there are no wp:BLP issues and the article is factual and harming no one
  • A neighborhood or housing development or planned commmunity of 600 homes is often/usually valid as a topic in Wikipedia.
  • That said, the current version is not written in encyclopedic style. It already has too many unimportant details, perhaps added to make it seem like a valid article, in the eyes of newer editors. (This is natural, many/most new editors' first contributions are this way, c.f. hundreds of too-detailed articles about college dormitories such as Towers Hall, another article at AFD.)
  • It's not worth turning this contributor away; it's not worth pages and pages of arguments either way
  • To the new contributor: go ahead and develop it, but please try not to use so much detail. Different issues of the same annual publication are not really very independent sources. Sourcing is good to have, but detailed sourcing is not needed for factual matters unless they are contested, and no one is saying the development doesn't have the number of whatevers that the article says it has. Please ask other editors to review it and make suggestions. If you haven't already please go to your public library and get help with sources about the area. Many libraries keep clippings files. I encourage the new contributor to please take a look at other articles in Category:Neighborhoods, Category:Planned communities, Category:Housing developments and the like, find some that are good and emulate them (does anyone have specific good examples?)
  • I encourage the new contributor to edit in other articles and participate in Wikipedia processes like wp:AFD about other articles for a while. It's easier to learn by working in areas that are not important to you.
  • Don't anyone have a cow and let's just put this on the back burner to return to a year from now, when the article will be better and when small things won't matter as much. I am willing to put it into my calendar to return to this 365 days after this is closed, and others can calendarize it too.

  • Comment: I tried to edit a bit back in March, in order to make the article more Manual of Style-compliant, but got reverted. Looking at the page history, others seem to have experienced similar situations. While there is not much wrong with an article about a neighbourhood like Clarawood as a WP:GEOFEAT, I do advise the page creator to act less as if one WP:OWNs the article. Some have more knowledge about Clarawood, others are more experienced in creating the Wikipedia looks; working together is what results in good encyclopedic articles. - HyperGaruda ( talk) 19:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Looking here, [24], we can see the article has been restored to the way User:Clarawood123 had it, without essentially any other input. CDRL102 ( talk) 19:54, 9 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment As previously discussed in other places the suggestion that I have simply reverted every edit made to the Clarawood page by other editors is frankly untrue. I learnt from Hypergaruda and others about fair use photo protocols on Wikipedia and there were a number of other edits. I did revert a number of edits however and I gave my reasons for doing so using Wikipedia Guidelines as my reference - I did not just reject what people did or try to keep things "my way". One of the main reasons for reverting some things was that these edits, especially that done by User:CDRL102, were more about a matter of the editor's personal preference on how a page should look or sound rather than any actual benefit. Indeed CDRL102's edit removed very substantial portions of information and facts. The article had also been tagged as non-notable and unreferenced. Both these assertions were untrue as I have previously argued and demonstrated using Wiki Guidelines. However I have now expanded the General Reference section substantially to satisfy any concerns in this area. Regarding the so-called encyclopaedic style - various Wiki Guidelines are very clear that articles ought to be written in a style accessible to any reader and find a balance between info for the expert or for the casual peruser. They should also be written in plain neutral language and this is what I did on Clarawood. The United Nations, the European Union and many other groups view human settlements and habitations, including the local neighbourhood, through a filter of Sustainable Development typified by the three strands of environment, society and economy. Therefore I sought to write the article with this in mind. An encyclopaedia is defined as a collection of knowledge and generally they try to be comprehensive. Usually an article will be written by an expert on the particular subject and if it is a subject where there are likely to be updates then that person is expected to do this in a timely manner ie regularly. Articles are not usually changed or edited significantly without the orginal writer's participation or an open discussion first. In the case of Wikipedia it is a free online version and the community editing allows anyone to edit. However it is clear from various Wiki Guidelines and policies again that edits should be constructive. Simply because everyone is able to edit does not mean that everyone should be editing or that all edits are constructive, Assume Good Faith notwithstanding. It would be normal according to Guidelines for major stakeholders in an article eg the original writer to keep an eye on their creation. That is not ownership or acting like an owner however it is good stewardship and responsible editing. In cases where there is a difference of opinion on style or whatever it is also in the Guidelines that the style chosen by the original writer or editor should be adopted. I wrote the article to be a balanced summary of the breadth of information about Clarawood delivered in a concise but comprehensive way and understandable to anyone. Numerous things have been omitted but those included are all included for a reason. Many editors seem to think that Wikipedia articles must be written simply as an abolutely cut back version of whatever information they can find online about the subject. This is not correct according to the Guidelines and I think the Clarawood article, unlike CDRL102's opinion, is more than "Wikipedia acceptable". I thank the editor above for their comments but I must also observe that their advice to visit a library and look for info seems to be a mistake. The publications listed as references on the Clarawood page are held in one of the biggest libraries in the country, the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland which is part of the UK National Archives, and they are the detailed original source for many of the encyclopaedic facts on the page and the particular citations were added due to people saying the General Reference wasn't enough.

Acting very possessive and behaving as if you own the article. You think you know better than everyone else.

This is clearly a pet project of yours and no one is enjoying your attitude about it. I completely believe if you let others cooperate more with you on this the article would become much better instead of what it is now. I also doubt you are capable of looking at this completely objectively since you are so over-invested in it so I wouldn't trust your judgment about what should be included in the article and what not. Right now it's also pretty lacking in sources for its length, some of it should probably be cut. *Treker ( talk) 22:25, 10 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment For the information of any participants in this AfD User:Davey2010 has deleted comments off the Clarawood talk page in which I explained why I reverted the latest edit by User:CDRL102. I have, in fact, explained and discussed anything I have done either on the talk pages or in the AfD or in the Deletion Review and have provided examples of relevant Guidelines etc. I have now been accused of disruptive editing by Davey2010 (along with his deletion of Talk page items). This is quite simply not true and I will be reporting my concerns over this to ANI. It should be noted that Davey2010 has already been demonstrated to have closed an AfD for the Clarawood page out of process which is why it was restored and that the consensus so far seems very clearly to be a keep. This latest so called "problem" with my editing behaviour results from CDRL102 removing the majority of the opening statement on the page asserting that it was simply an opinion. As I commented very clearly on the talk page - but it has been deleted by Davey2010 - that is absolutely untrue it is a matter of published fact and was referenced. I am being accused of being a disruptive editor and failing to understand that CDRL102 is trying to make the page better. The reality is that CDRL102 removed a referenced fact without justification - or discussion - and in doing so demonstrated that their own actions were exactly what they were accusing me of - opinion not fact. I am not bothering to revert Davey2010's edit to the Talk page, I will let the ANI process run first. I am also not bothering to discuss it with Davey2010 on his page as he does not seem open to rational discussion on anything but instead seems to act as he pleases - including the deletion of talk comments in order to cover up the fact that what I did was more than justified but that he and CDRL102 have a joint mission to make me out to be a fool. By the way I am not female and I would appreciate not being referred to as "she". Clarawood123 ( talk) 13:27, 11 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Comment I would like to thank the various participants for their advice and guidance. It seems that I am being portrayed as someone who simply just reverts everything for the sake of it because I am new and unwilling to learn. This is not the truth. It also seems that those who have supported this position have taken others' comments at face value and have not checked into the history of any edits or reversions I have done or the comments I made to support those. At present following the latest edits to the Clarawood page by various editors over the last day or so it is in a state where it is factually innaccurate from the very first line of the infobox, is misreferenced throughout and is in breach of copyright as legally required statements for the attribution of multiple references have been deleted. I am not going to edit it or revert it as I will only be accused - as I have been already - of ownership etc...all I can say is that if correcting mistakes, ensuring information is factual and ensuring that material is referenced is wrong then I am happy to be wrong.

  • Keep I can't see anything particularly problematic here, and certainly not something that warrants deletion. In general, the "Non notable housing estate" is a contradiction in terms when it comes to UK articles, since even a small council estate will generally be a major population centre in its own right, and the existence of reliable sources can be presumed for any estate even if nothing shows up online since estates by their nature generate regular press coverage (especially in NI, where the Assembly sends out a breathless press release every time the public sector does absolutely anything). I don't see how Clarawood is inherently any more problematic than Noel Park, a council estate which went all the way to FA. ‑  Iridescent 21:17, 14 April 2016 (UTC) reply

He has a heck of a lot to learn about Wikipedia, as I'm sure you'll appreciate. As others have pointed out, it would have been better to let WT:SHIPS know of the potential problem. Now, how about withdrawing and closing this nomination? Mjroots ( talk) 17:37, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Mjroots I already closed the nomination several minutes before you wrote the above. I even sent you a thanks before you wrote the above. I was not aware of WT:SHIPS. I was already cursed out by the creating editor before the nomination. Bgwhite ( talk) 17:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Per nom. This newspaper article ( Westword) calls University Press of America (UPA) a quasi-vanity press and then later concludes it is a vanity press. "The firm's acquisitions editor, Michelle Harris, describes UPA as an "academic publisher" but notes that the company is not affiliated with a university. UPA agreed to print and distribute 700 copies of the book in paperback after Denver's Hue-Man Experience Bookstore, which specializes in African-American literature, agreed to buy 500 of them. Harris insists that UPA is "not a vanity press." But Dick Rowson, publishing consultant to the American University Press in Washington, D.C., who is familiar with UPA, says book contracts that require prepublication orders are "in effect...a vanity form of publishing."Tucker says UPA gets to keep all proceeds from sales of the first edition of the book, but she will earn a small royalty if there is a second printing." Sounds like a vanity press to me. So a vanity published book and no sources discussing it. PermStrump (talk) 06:41, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Christie's role in the founding of Bergenfield is a rather strong claim of notability and the extensive coverage about him in books and newspaper articles is unassailable evidence of that claim. AusLondonder fails to understand the obligations under WP:BEFORE to actually look for sources; merely not liking the article or the response to a deProd is a rather poor justification for deletion. Ignorance is no excuse, be it of policy or sources. Alansohn ( talk) 12:54, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
@ Alansohn: How about you assume good faith and stop making stupid, wild and false allegations. I couldn't care less about the deprod. I knew very well he would deprod.

  • You wrote: "I knew very well he would deprod", but if you did, then why didn't you take it to AFD instead of PROD directly? As soon as I deprodded, you jumped to AFD, but you knew I was going to deprod. I still think you were angry, and jumped to AFD without doing any research by reading any of the source material, you just saw a stub, and wanted to get rid of it. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 02:04, 9 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Not every person granted an obit in The Thunderer or the NYT is going to turn out to be WP:Notable, but enough of them are that such an obit would certainly make me !vote keep at an AfD.

How about you stop being "confident" and actually do the work then? Or is that too much to ask? AusLondonder ( talk) 03:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Actually it is. WP:V says that statements must be verifiable, not verified. WP:N says: "if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability. and he absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article or deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search." My comments went to that "possibility of existent sources". That said, I added an additional citation to the article after I commented here. DES (talk) 03:41, 8 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Not notable. It's an article about a group that supports an unnotable foundation that supports the National Rifle Association. There ain't even one secondary sourcethat's worth using. It's got tags dating back four years, but no one cares enough to fix it. I proposed a merger before I noticed that it's all written from press releases, etc. There's nothing worth merging and no good target for a merge. Felsic2 ( talk) 18:18, 22 March 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect: The page has a lot of references, but many of them only serve to support the contents of the article without mentioning the organization. Of those that do cover the organization, most of them appear to be primary sources or lists/registries. Per Felsic2 and AusLondonder, there really isn't a lot to work with here in terms of coverage from secondary sources, so the subject appears to fail WP:ORG. However, it could still be worth mentioning on the National Rifle Association page in a similar manner to the NRA Foundation. -- Erick Shepherd ( talk) 10:54, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I have to wonder if dislike of "gun-worship", gun rights and NRA is driving the Delete votes. This appears to be a huge organization. No one has disputed its 17,600 events and its raising $600 million (did i get that number right?). References look fine. If Wikipedia deletes articles because many of its editors, probably the majority of them, are liberal, then Wikipedia loses credibility. -- do ncr am 17:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
P.S. Linked AFD search on news alone yields many many current news items on local events. If this was about a nonprofit helping disabled orphans in Atlanta, say, the availability of 3 or 4 local news articles would produce a slam-dunk Keep resolution to its AFD. -- do ncr am 17:33, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
PPS. Further, frankly it would be valid for the Friends of NRA article to include a list of significant Friends of NRA events, i.e. to include a list of many thousands of items. Arguably many of the individual events have been covered in multiple reliable sources and themselves would be Wikinotable. "Events of Friends of NRA" no doubt meets wp:LISTN as a topic and List of Friends of NRA events would be valid as a list-article. I am not chomping at the bit to start such a list-article myself right now, it seems a bit much to delete the main article on Friends of NRA in which it could be a section. -- do ncr am 17:42, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
PPPS. From looking at the Friends of NRA website and the wikipedia National Rifle Association webpage in full, it seems to me that the NRA Foundation (currently a redirect to a short section in the NRA article) and the Friends of NRA are substantially different and distinct from the NRA itself, and deserve separate coverage, but the two might be covered in one article. The NRA itself is concerned with legistlation, broadly. The NRA Foundation supports "the shooting sports" nation-wide by grants that fund nation-wide programs (getting 50% of funds raised by Friends of NRA) and local programs (getting other 50%). This is huge and genuine...it really does support gunmanship training programs, Boy Scouts programs, etc. etc. ...and it should be thought of like a foundation supporting another sport like skiing, say, or like supporting the training of Olympic athletes, that also has a huge grassroots fundraising arm. From 2 seconds of searching about foundations supporting skiing, this can be compared to say the Billy Poole Memorial Fund which provides for "opportunities for kids to learn to ski" and has an annual movie and fundraiser event at the Washoe Theater in Anaconda, Montana. If the Billy Poole foundation does anything like $1 million revenue I would support it having a Wikipedia article for sure; the combo of the Friends of NRA and the NRA Foundation does $59 million per year now. The Billy Poole program perhaps has a side "benefit" of putting skiing in general into the public's mind but there is no nation-wide legislative or public policy issues about skiing; I suspect it is a deliberate (although perhaps unstated) goal for the Friends of NRA & NRA Foundation to put shooting as a sport into the public's mind as part of supporting the legislative/public policy mission of the NRA. The United States Olympic Committee supports Olympic sports and we cover it. One might support gun control and be against the current agenda of the NRA, but that is not reason to suppress coverage of the massive fundraising and grants program supporting the "shooting sports". -- do ncr am 19:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply
I would be open to keeping it, but there would need to be a substantial rewrite. The bulk of the " Supported shooting sports and safety programs" section is composed of external links to sub-domains of the NRA website (not even the Friends of NRA website) as opposed to descriptions of the programs, and virtually all of that section discusses the activities of the NRA Foundation as opposed to the Friends of NRA. It seems a bit ungermane, and the sheer number of consecutive external links makes it seem like the goal is not to provide information to the reader but to generate page hits for the target websites. Additionally, as mentioned above, I think the subject could do with better referencing to demonstrate depth of coverage. If the topic does in fact have significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources — as opposed to passing mentions in relation to other NRA activities by other NRA associated organizations — great! But we need to evidence that in the article. -- Erick Shepherd ( talk) 20:51, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment. Hmm, I thought I had cleaned it up when I rewrote it. I did that because I felt that there was – just barely – enough coverage in the sources for a deletion proposal to fail. But if the consensus is that the coverage is insufficient I'll raise no objection. Whether or not other articles are worse has no relevance here; this page should be judged on its own merits (or lack thereof). Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 06:52, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Article topic is not the subject of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search.

The List of Vocaloid products is in the process of being removed and merged with respected articles Vocaloid (software), Vocaloid 2, Vocaloid 3 and Vocaloid 4. This will occur at the end of the month, I am 1 person and can't do this all at once and ddespite asking for help to do this, no one has come forward to aid me.

Anon Kanon and all respective Vocaloid pages are being created and removal of said list page cannot occur until the information has been set up. If you check my contributions, and what I'v been doing, you will see I've been creating and expanding these pages. There is enough sources on the page for it to exist as it does now.

The whole thing is part of a project, either way, to better handle the situation. Anon Kanon are vocal synthesizing software for Vocaloid, have their own independent trademark and have no connection to video games' except that 1 iOS app, which exists independently of their actual software. They do NOT therefore comply to this and are instead comply with either Speech synthesis related articles and/or the music software, as they designed to be singing vocals for music. Therefore the basis of their delete being "Video games" is invalid and ridiculous and only shows ignorance on the one who nominated them, for they did not check what exactly they are nominating. Angel Emfrbl ( talk) 07:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Talk:List_of_Vocaloid_products

Also I will add this. The reason the list is being retired is in the last past yer it was put up for deletion anyway based on the fact it was merely a list. So the current working process is to sort to get rid of the page. Redirecting the pages to said list either way is a step back at its removal. Furthermore, several vocaloids such as Macne Nana, while have Vocaloid technology behind them are not souly sold for Vocaloid. Mane Nana herself was made as a sound library for Reason and Garage Band DAW, later had a UTAU vocal and then became a Vocaloid. Others like Hatsune Miku and her fellow members of her series are so well known in Japan that you easily come across their merchandise. Even without the video game mislabeling, there is enough to warrant their pages existing, as only a few are stubs and many have large expansive information about them. I can understand why something like Pokemon may be attacked for this, but each "Vocaloid" is a separate software entirely. Angel Emfrbl ( talk) 07:46, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

Template_talk:Vocaloid

Here is another place I've discussed this.

Also... While I'm own the matter of reliable sources... I thin you'll find some of those said sources are in fact their own homepage... In fact going only the sources on there none of them are not official source for them. They either come directly from a legit twitter account about them, their own website, or Yamaha's Japanese website. They've got more reliable sources then some video game articles despite this being the accused reason to get rid of them! So between this and the fact their not video game characters, I can fully say *someone* didn't get this one right. I can think of other reasons why this page could be pulled up, mostly to do with house keeping reasons, but none for deletion based on how its been set up. Its not a stub either. Angel Emfrbl ( talk) 07:56, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply

I think you can take up the connection with video games with whoever added that info and tag to the article. All I noted is that whatever connection it was supposed to have, it didn't show up in game sources. I explained this on my talk page already, but we don't host pages for which only primary sources exist. (As I said in the nomination, we require significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. ( ?)) Topics with weak coverage are best addressed in a list (as redirects) or deleted altogether when we lack the secondary sources to write full articles on the subjects. czar 13:31, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Keep; I will not defend the article and have put forward everything already. I can ensure you deletion is not the way forward, but I know how this works due to past experience. If 3 people come in now who hate Vocaloid, the thing will be out-voted or that determined no matter how solid of an argument I can come up with, this article is gone if its worthy to go and no matter how much editing I do further will not save it. this happened to me so many times in the past that it wasn't funny,even wen solid articles were edited. So I will now walk away from the project regardless of its outcome. :-/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angel Emfrbl ( talkcontribs)

My I make a suggestion, while I've walked away from the the Vocaloid pages, for that page to proper handle redirects, its needs some improvements; -Exchange the information on Vocaloid (software), Vocaloid 2, etc with the products list. Have the vocaloid informatin on the "products page" and the tables on V (S), V2, V3, etc pages instead. The problem with a redirect right now is the page is just a list and thats want I was trying to get rid of. That lists already been attaced once for being just a list so it need to be sorted. Plus its a horrible mess right now which is why I was trying to retire it. Angel Emfrbl ( talk) 18:13, 4 April 2016 (UTC) reply

Or alternatively, just redirect this page to "Vocaloid 3" rather then the products list... And not change anything. Either way Czar's argument about it falling under the Video gaming guidelines is not 100% faithful to the discussion and I was happy that 1 other person here called that too. That makes me satisfied regardless of the result here. I do not feel its reason initially for being strikes against was fair and legit, it would be like filing a page for a dinosaur under deletion for not being a living creation, pardon the metaphoor here as sadly it was the first to come to mind. I knew sooner or later I was going to come into problems as I was doing these pages alone, this did not make me comfortable at all to edit any of the vocaloid pages as only 1 editor can reach X range of information and sources to back things up. I would like to see the page returned in the future by a different editor; when the right one comes along. Angel Emfrbl ( talk) 18:18, 4 April 2016 (UTC) reply
