This is WP:TOOSOON. The subject fails GNG as there is hardly any coverage in reliable and independent sources. The subject doesn't pass WP:ENT either as it requires significant roles in multiple notable films. From what I can see, the subject has performed minor roles in a few productions. The movie "Epiphany" is actually a short film which was a final year project of a group of university students. Overall, looking at the lack of coverage and the fact that the roles are all minor roles, I would go with a delete. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 23:57, 7 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Completely unsourced article about a syndicated one-minute interstitial radio segment. Something like this does not get a free pass over WP:NMEDIA just for existing, but must be sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG -- but all we've got here for "referencing" is the program's own self-published website about itself. For added bonus, there's a probable conflict of interest here, as the creator's username is "Mi7ch182" and the "marketing assistant" listed on the program's website has the given name Mitch. Delete.

Can't see how this person passes WP:ARTIST - difficult to understand much of the content that may hint towards notability, but (as a basic test), the only non ex-soviet bloc organisation to engage with him (the boston one) doesn't seem notable in itself, and a google search of subject + gallery throws up no results (also note entire list is unreferenced).

• Comment There is a significant claim to notability that would satisfy WP:ARTIST. If Avalishvili's work has indeed been collected by the Art Museum of Georgia and the National Gallery of Armenia, 4(d) would be met. I have not been able to find any sources that corroborate that claim, mostly because I understand neither [Georgian nor Armenian. Both museums have a searchable database of their collections, so perhaps someone who can read those languages has better luck than I did. If I have to go by the sources available in English, I cannnot find Avalishvili him or the Museum of Modern Renaissance notable. The Museum of Modern Renaissance seems to have anticipated this, as their website proudly states "Modern Renaissance is not to be found in any Encyclopedia of Art" ^[1]. Perhaps it should remain so.

• Strong delete It's an extremely interesting case. So, I think we do have a good reasons to delete in article. First of all it does look like a PR article - an author's only work, which is the same for Russian wikipedia, in which creator with the same user name made the only contribution. The Russian article is also of very poor quality, tagged as non satisfying Wikipedia standards. Second, taking into account all the claims of notability in Russia, including competitions and gallery shows, I'd expected to find quite a lot of sources on Russian, which I didn't. Almost no mentions in any secondary sources, not related to PR articles from galleries. Third, for a such celebrated artist it's quite a funny to have a site, made on schoolchild level and located on narod.ru platform - a simple amateur website platform for Russian internet. And the last one - the claim for notability is made by showing permanent collections - on his site there are scans of documents, showing him making donations to Art Museum of Georgia and the National Gallery of Armenia. A bit of a weak claim for notability. Arthistorian1977 ( talk) 11:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• We have had this discussion before, Uanfala. You were !outvoted then and should be now. We are not a repository of trivia, nor of what unreliable sources say. There is a long-standing consensus to delete articles such as this where the only sourcing is that from the Raj era. That is because the Raj writers knew bugger-all about their subject matter and usually just accepted the myriad of contradictory claims, stories and aspirations that they encountered. Their methodology was flawed, their expertise virtually nil and their ability to critique absolutely so. - Sitush ( talk) 08:15, 13 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Jclemens ( talk) 04:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete - This does not establish notability. There is no need to cover every single character in a series. Some series may have hundreds of named characters (especially something that can go on for decades like a soap opera), but only the most core characters need any coverage. If these characters are not important, they don't need anything more than a brief inclusion on an episode list summary if they're even that relevant. Saying that a containment article is necessary is pointless. The main article can be watched and trimmed appropriately TTN ( talk) 23:33, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep - it's a reasonable way to organise the information.

An earlier PROD tag was placed on the article but removed by the article's creator. Here is my initial concern:

I wish them all the best but this record label is a few weeks old and has only released music by one of its founders. Quite clearly, the label is not notable enough. In fact there's another record company with the same name that was founded in the Philippines in 1957 and is probably more notable than the Dyna Records of the present article. (see [1]) Finally (and this is just a minor point as far as deletion is concerned) the username of the creator suggests a potential conflict of interest.

• Request for info: I don't like this article because it uses lots of peacock words and the references are pretty light considering the praise they're heaping on him. But according to the article and one of the sources, he has played for Dundalk F.C. and even won their "Player of the Year" award. Could someone please explain to this soccer-know-nothing why that's not "first-team football in a fully professional league"? Thanks. ubiquity ( talk) 21:44, 7 August 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Ubiquity: Gladly. The relevant notability guideline here is WP:NFOOTBALL, which says that a footballer is notable if they've played in one of the fully professional leagues. Broadly, this means all players in the league are full time professionals. For use with this guideline, the WikiProject football has compiled a list (see WP:FPL) for which the fully pro status can be reliably sourced. You'll note that the League of Ireland is listed under Top level leagues which are not fully professional. This means playing that league explicitly does not satisfy the subject specific notability guideline. I hope that clears things up. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 23:31, 7 August 2016 (UTC) reply

I came across this via A7, which doesn't really cover geography per se, so I'm bringing this here. A search brings up nothing that would show that this pond is ultimately remarkable enough for an entry on Wikipedia, so this looks like it would overall fail notability guidelines - although I will admit that I'm not as familiar with the notability guidelines for geography as I am with other facets of the guidelines.

• Delete I ran a search on the subject in an effort to find information to improve the article and add some references which the article lacked. The searched produced 0 results other than the Wiki article. The search did produce another, more prominent lake with the same name in the state of Maine.

• Merge and redirect: to the Myles Standish article. I grew up in that forest and love it to pieces, but there are several dozen kettle ponds in it, and even in my biased opinion they're not all notable. Three Cornered Pond is one of the more teensy and non-descript of the lot. (Could be worse; there could be an article on the teensy pond that was called "Nigger Pond" well into the 1970s.) Ravenswing 20:30, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Merging sounds like a good idea. That someone wrote about this does show that there's an interest of some type. As for the name of the other pond... I'll just say that I'm not surprised that it took them that long to rename it. Over in Virginia we had a hospital for children with severe mental health issues that until 2001, bore the name of Joseph DeJarnette, a die hard eugenics advocate who endorsed the sterilization of anyone they deemed "mentally unfit". Which also included the family of anyone they deemed "mentally unfit". I love supernatural horror, but Freddy Kreuger has nothing on some of the people who have walked this earth.

NN musician. It would appear he qualifies on #6, but he does not, as the criteria reads, Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. Gutteridge, based on when he was with the bands listed, apparently did not record with either The Clean or The Chills, and thus does not appear to be a prominent member of either act (both of which have extensive discographies). His later indie act, Snapper, appears to be notable only because he was in it, which is a WP:NOTINHERITED problem - the band itself appears not to be notable on its own. It also seems improbable that he has WP:SIGCOV as required in #1, given that the sources cited are all survey works of the genre over a period of 30 or more years, and he is only referenced on single pages.

The result was no consensus. This has been under discussion for a full month, and shows no sign of converging to a consensus. The keepers are arguing that there are sufficient sources. The deleters counter that, yes, there may be citations in the literature, but they're not worth much because it's a small set of papers/authors circularly citing each other. In any case, neither side seems to have convinced the other, and I can't see how relisting this again will make any progress. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:06, 16 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Yet another "nature-inspired" metaheuristic.

• Oppose for each of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Intelligent Water Drops algorithm, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glowworm swarm optimization, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cuttlefish Optimization Algorithm. For each of these there are multiple publications in academic journals over a period of years. That seems to establish WP:GNG. If these are to be deleted I would want a counterargument to the default assumption that the articles cited are not reliable. Peer reviewed academic research which addresses a topic by name is usually considered to meet WP:RS and establish WP:GNG. Why demand a higher standard in this case?

  @ Bluerasberry: See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Firefly_algorithm, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/State transition algorithm and Talk:Artificial bee colony algorithm#Deletion proposal for some additional background (especially concerning the reliability of those articles). — Ruud 20:20, 20 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Ruud Koot It seems like the argument for deletion is a subjective judgment that the academic journals cited are not reliable sources in their claimed field of expertise. AfD is usually a process for determining notability, not for checking the reliability of sources which seem to be reputable. Among these 6 deletion discussions there is a challenge to at least 10 academic journals and 20-30 different articles published over years. It is beyond the scope of a typical AfD review to challenge what are usually the most trusted sources. Can you think of a way to briefly say why so many sources should not meet RS criteria? I see that another academic says this is bad science, but I am unable to easily process this debate. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:02, 20 July 2016 (UTC) reply

I think it's very hard, if not impossible, to distinguish highly cited "good" science (that is highly cited because it's good) from highly cited "bad" science (that is highly cited because it's part of citation circle, but otherwise mostly ignored) by some objective criterion. This distinction, and whether we want to include that science in Wikipeida, must thus depend on tacit knowledge and a subjective judgement. For me that would be:

1. that this whole class of algorithms has been called out as being "bad" science in other papers (which I believe to have been published in more reputable venues) and by other academics, and has been barred from at least one reputable journal [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19];
2. the observation that these algorithms are "obviously" equivalent to other older and already well-established algorithms (and thus don't add to the sum of human knowledge);
3. the fact the most of these articles wouldn't have existed if they wouldn't have been created by single-purpose account that are, more probable than not, the authors of these papers (and that the articles on this topic that currently exist on Wikipedia are only a fraction of the articles that could potentially exist, if we would use just citation count as a criterion);
4. the pragmatic consideration that we're not serving our core goal of educating our readers if we distract them from the good science with an overwhelming number of articles that present bad science as good science.

— Ruud 21:41, 20 July 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Bluerasberry:, you write, "AfD is usually a process for determining notability, not for checking the reliability of sources which seem to be reputable," but you may be overlooking the fact that determining the sources' reliability is a prerequisite to determining a topic's notability. Recall that notability is generally determined by "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", so it is absolutely proper in a deletion discussion to mount a challenge to notability based on the reliability (or coverage, or independence) of the sources. Furthermore, per our guideline WP:SCHOLARSHIP, claims that a particular source is peer-reviewed should be critically examined, particularly in light of the recent explosion in predatory journals. — Psychonaut ( talk) 06:32, 21 July 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep I agree that it is vexatious to see poorly researched optimization algorithms dressed in fun new metaphors and terminology somehow gain traction in the academic world. David Eppstein's description as junk science is a good one. But we are here, not to right great wrongs, but to determine notability. A quick search found a pretty solid review in PLoS One A Comprehensive Review of Swarm Optimization Algorithms that goes in some depth into GSO. There are a couple of GSO specific reviews in Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO) Algorithm for Optimization Problems: A State-of-the-Art Review and A Survey of Applications of Glowworm Swarm Optimization Algorithm in less well known journals. Multiple secondary reviews by authors independent of the GSO's creators show notability of the topic. The article isn't in great shape with only primary sources, but is capable of improvement. Or we could merge into Swarm intelligence#Glowworm swarm optimization to place it in context. But either way, I don't see a good case for deletion. -- Mark viking ( talk) 11:58, 22 July 2016 (UTC) reply

I think the list of algorithms in Swarm intelligence is just unnecessary dragging the quality and usefulness of that article down. Encyclopedic articles should give a balanced overview, making clear what the most influential work in a particular field is. Instead, I will likely merge most of those metaheuristics that are deemed to be "notable" into a chronologically ordered List of metaphor-inspired metaheuristics, while also adding a beefy introduction stating the problems with that class of algorithms in general for context. — Ruud 14:32, 22 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Delete. Poorly sourced and advertorially-toned WP:BLP of a youth activist with no strong claim of encyclopedic notability per any of Wikipedia's inclusion rules. The only references here are the primary source web page of an organization she's directly involved with and a single article on a non-notable news blog, and even that "news" article verifies only that the subject made her high school honour roll. But making your high school honour roll isn't something that gets a person into an encyclopedia in and of itself, and nothing else written or sourced here makes a credible claim of notability either. Also probable conflict of interest of some sort, as the article was created by User:Theaboriginalinspiredteen (which clearly implies the creator is either the subject herself, or someone she knows who's trying to promote her.)

Deceptive puff piece. Before I did some cleanup (see here) the article claimed that he was a "Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Scholar". That already made alarm bells go off, because the correct term is "HHMI Investigator". Indeed, Bennani-Baiti is not listed on the HHMI website. It looks like he worked in the lab of an HHMI investigator, nothing more. The article further claimed that he is "the Editor or Executive Editor" of several journals. Two of these are newly established (and actually don't list any editorial board; articles were deleted -by me, that's how I got here- as copyvio), the third one actually does list him, but only as an editorial board member. The article further claims that "Bennani-Baiti has published or reviewed hundreds of peer-reviewed research articles and reviews". I don't know how many articles he has reviewed, but conflating that with articles published is rather unusual. So I checked the Web of Science. WoS lists 42 publications, that have been cited a grand total of 565 times ( h-index = 13; three highest-cited papers score 125, 63, and 50 citations). For high-citation density fields like epigenetics and oncology, that is decidedly unimpressive. A Google search finds a link that says that he currently works in Vienna (so much for being an HHMI investigator) and as this information is user-contributed, we can assume that this is correct. The editorial board listing here says that he's an "associate investigator". All references are to articles by the subject himself. No other sources found on Google or elsewheer. Does not meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG, hence: Delete. Randykitty ( talk) 16:49, 7 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. As per nom. The subject of the article is a named author in all seven of the journal articles currently included as sources. The fifth of these is one of Human Pathology's most cited articles (published since 2011). Otherwise, there doesn't appear to be any independent coverage of this person provided that would offer support to any claims of notability. As such, notability has not been demonstrated.

• Delete. The efforts to clean up this article feel like the you-tube video of a raccoon washing cotton candy - once it's clean there's nothing left. for (;;) (talk) 11:35, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply

I don't know why any raccoon would be trying to "clean up" my entry. I have myself within one day asked for the entry to be deleted. So why are raccoons wasting their time (and more importantly mine) with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibennani~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 12:19, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete This fails GNG so we need to evaluate solely on the basis of WP:PROF. The h-index of 13 is much less than what is desired. I do not see any other claim - path breaking research or awards or any contribution outside academia. Neither is the subject the chief editor of a well established journal. None of these satisfy WP:PROF. In addition to all of this, I am concerned that the incorrect claims in the article implies that Wikipedia is possibly being used to promote the "achievements" of the subject and maybe legitimise it. A clear delete for now. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 01:27, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• There is no deceptive puff as suggested by Randykitty above. First, The correct term for an HHMI scholar is not HHMI investigator. These are two different things. An HHMI investigator is an HHMI group leader. An HHMI scholar is a scientist how was selected for an HHMI scholarship. I was an HHMI scholar from 1993-1997, and there is no amount of claimed "puff" that can change that. Second, Randykitty goes on to say: that I am only listed as an "editorial board member" on one of the journals, not as an editor. It is clear that Randykitty has a limited understanding of the editorial board structure of journals. Editorial board members are editors of a journal (as opposed to academic editors). In addition, I listed only three journals on which I am an editor or executive editor, but had stated that I am an editor at several journals including those three. It means that I am an editor (or executive editor) at many more journals. I did not list them because I actually want to avoid too much fluff "or puff" as Randykitty would put it. The entire list is as follows: Cancer Epigenetics, Clinical Cancer Epigenetics, Journal of Proteomics and Genomics Research, Cancer Informatics, Gene Regulation and Systems Biology, Genomics Discovery, International Journal of Clinical Therapeutics and Diagnosis, Journal of Carcinogenesis & Mutagenesis, Journal of Data Mining in Genomics & Proteomics. And this leads me to my third point: as an editor of these journals, and reviewer (and ad hoc reviewer) of many more, I on average review one article per week. I reviewed my first article in 1991; I'll let Randykitty do the math on whether I have reviewed hundred of articles since he/she seems to have a lot of time (but not enough to thoroughly research things). Fourth, yes I work in Vienna and this is not a secret (this can be seen not only on Researchgate but also on my public profile on LinkedIn), and again, I never claimed I am/was an HHMI investigator. I am an HHMI scholar. If Randykitty were privy to the working of the HHMI, she/he would know that while being an investigator has an expiration date, once one had an HHMI scholarship, it is for life and cannot be taken away. So independently of what Randykitty may think or believe, I did not just work in some HHMI lab, I am an HHMI scholar. Finally, the "user-contributed" information on researchgate is outdated and obselete(for many years now), and I am not longer (and have not been for years) an associate investigator (no shame in that, it is just not my current status). My current status can be looked up on LinkedIn. Finally, once I realized that someone was mocking around with my entry, I am the one who initiated a call for "delete" on the entire entry: as can be seen from my long list of functions and duties above (only a very partial list), I just don't have time for this.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibennani~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 12:19, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

And one more thing: my references are peer-reviewed publications in some of the most respected journals in the world of scientific publishing. These can be looked up on PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and directly in the concerned journals. In science, this as high of a bar for scientific contribution than anything else.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibennani~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 12:24, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Another thing: I don't know who changed my functions from Editor/Executive editor to "Editor-in-chief"! I do not fulfill this function and have never stated so! I guess it speaks poorly of Wikipedia's "curators" who would take an accurate account of one's functions, change it extensively, and include several inaccuracies making the account useless, if not fraudulent. I can just imagine what my colleagues would think of me seeing my so-called "Editor-in-chief" function (knowing that there is none) and thinking I contributed that entry!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibennani~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 13:02, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Comments 1/ Any evidence for this "HHMI scholarship? 2/ An editorial board member is a very different thing from an "editor" and an "executive editor" is usually just another name for "editor-in-chief". The two journals listed in the article have updated their websites and although they don't list any board members, they both list you as "executive editor", meaning that apparently you are the head honcho. As for your other editorships, I Googled some of the journals that you list above. Almost all are predatory journals and being on their boards is more something to be ashamed of than to put forward as evidence of notability. You are "executive editor" on the Journal of Proteomics and Genomics Research. For what that means, please see here. I recommend that you separate yourself from that seedy outfit as soon as you can. 3/ As the peer-review process is confidential, it is very easy to claim that one has reviewed hundreds of articles. The thing about it being confidential being that this is a claim that cannot be verified (there is now a service called Publons that allows verification of such claims, but only for recent reviews). 4/ Nothing I said was intended to belittle your scientific contributions. However, the citation data do not indicate any notability according to WP:PROF (which is not the same thing as saying that your contributions are not valuable, it actually has nothing to do with "quality"). -- Randykitty ( talk) 13:50, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Like I said, I don't really have time for this as this has taken much more of my time than I've ever intended. I have early on placed a request to delete the entire entry. Would you please go ahead and delete it? Thank you in advance for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibennani~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. It's not as much of a slam-dunk case as the above discussion would suggest — he appears to be on-track for a successful academic career, has citations to his publications, and is editor-in-chief of two journals, suggesting a plausible case for WP:PROF criteria #C1 (citations) and #C8 (journal editorships). However, the citation counts are too low and the journals too new and not-well-established for him to actually pass these criteria. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:59, 9 August 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep, because it is okay for a comprehensive list of all examples to be split out of LocalWiki article. But sort of reluctantly, because the current version of the list is poor, almost mind-numbingly so. While it could conceivably tabulate useful or interesting information about the local wikis (dates of creation, size, number of active editors, evidence on any observable effects in their communities, links to reliable sources about the local wikis), it in fact provides no information at all. It does not even provide links to the local wikis! -- do ncr am 18:53, 7 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Perhaps this can be merged into the LocalWiki article, which is not too long, with a present size of 10kb (see WP:SIZERULE). The article has also realized significant copy editing after being nominated for deletion. For example, it was converted into a table format and now includes links.

BLP that has been unsourced since it was created by an apparent single-purpose account 10 years ago, and tagged as such for almost 2 years. I took this on with a view to improving and sourcing it but simply didn't find enough to justify keeping the article. The subject is co-artistic director of a Chicago opera company that has received some coverage in local press, but none that I can find from further afield, and itself doesn't have clear notability. I don't see a case for keeping this article, the best coverage I found being [26], [27], [28], and [29] - generally brief mentions from local press (admittedly some with large circulation) in the context of performances by the company.
