References do not show that the person meets
WP:AUTHOR yet. Blogs, interviews, Twitter, and self-published references. No further indication of notability found on Google. Seems to be a case of
WP:TOOSOON. Page has been created before as

here. I note the
SPA account who created the article has removed the prod template without explanation and without adding sources. This is permitted, but that's not to say it's ideal. I hope, if there are actual third-party sources out there, he's encouraged by this AfD to find them and add them.

Weak Delete. I've added two references, one from MAM Rio and one about awards from World Monuments Fund official flickr account. None of them can actually support notability. The problem is may be we missing some reference on Portuguese, so may be worth getting someone who can read and understand Portuguese. Also, the article has some serious claims about him being exhibited in "prestigious galleries and museums". In such cases I would expect quite a lot of independent reviews in media, which I can't find, unfortunately

Minor show that wouldn't be heard of at all without a single event. Lack of significant coverage about the show by reliable third parties.

Weak delete. The strongest claim of notability in the article is not his academic career but his being the Honduran ambassador to Germany. But that's not a position of automatic notability; it still requires

Delete although I must point out that MANY fashion designers are notable - thousands, rather than hundreds, if they do indeed pass the right criteria. Much as I would like for this guy to be demonstrably notable (we need more coverage of artists of colour and from less well-represented backgrounds), I simply do not see sufficient coverage of him to pass notability. The best I am seeing on a quick search is
this, and that is basically a passing reference confirming that he does exist.

Admitted conflict if interest? This is not true at all. I know this man from a single interview and I have been following him for years. I follow many people for years. Liudmille Titova, Pavel Borodin, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Tony Robbins, and I have met them all at one time or another. Does this make my contribution less valuable? He is a subject that interests me because he is like Russia's Navalny; I am sure every article on Wikipedia is written by an author that is interested in the subject. This is a conflict of interest? As far as local coverage only, okay. If you wish, I will put some national references. How about from the Chicago Tribune?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-bc-fl--information-breach-20160217-story.html Or a newspaper in Texas?

A Conflict of Interest according to Wikipedia is:
"Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial or other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest. (The word interest refers here to something in which a person has a stake or from which they stand to benefit.)"

I do not stand to benefit, I am not the subject, his family, a client, he is not an employer, I have no financial dealings with him or any other relationships with the subject. The only interection I have had is running into him at events here in Palm Beach and an interview. Of course, none of my own materials are used in this article. That would be a conflict of interest. — Preceding

Contested PROD with a claim for new sources. Non-notable video games/series. I cannot locate multiple reliable independent in-depth sources for
WP:GNG, such as
WP:VG/RS. Does not appear that the coverage has changed since
last AfD. No meaningful hits in
custom RS search. The only new source that is probably RS is
Discovery Education, but it's only a single one. All the other sources in the article are unreliable or not in-depth. Lots of search hits otherwise, but none appear in-depth, mostly directory entries and generic descriptions. —

TALK14:26, 20 February 2016 (UTC)reply
I doubt they are, but, even if they are, the content is not in-depth. That's one of the three requirements -- for there to be significant content on the topic. NPC is barely a paragraph with only a generic description. MoP is brief generic description and mostly not about the game(s). DE at least has significant content and critical reception in the form of a review, although doesn't state who the author is nor can I find any editorial information, though
[7] probably implies they have decent standards. —

This is an OR split of the main list
List of most viewed videos on YouTube, and to some degree a POV fork. While sources have documented the top videos on YouTube irregardless of type, they have not broken that down by "non-Vevo videos", making it an unnatural categorization, and thus OR. It's also trying to work around the fact that the bulk of videos at the top of the original list are Vevo-based, but that's how it works, we don't have a say in it. This was previously PROD/CSD but those appeared to have been removed without question

That may indeed be the case, but WP is a tertiary source that collects reliable, secondary sources on topics. So when a topic such as this does not have
significant coverage in multiple
reliable,
independent sources (
?), we have to wait until it does to give it a dedicated article. If, on the other hand, there are enough sources for an article on the Egyptian video game industry, that could be an option, but unless you're able to dig up lots of reliable Egyptian newspaper coverage dedicated to this developer in specific, there likely isn't enough verifiable content to write a full article. czar19:57, 7 February 2016 (UTC)reply

We're not here to discuss geopolitical issues. And ranting about English western media really won't help your case. Fact of the matter is, is that this game developer is not notable. A forum post by a girl talking about the game? How does that make the developer notable? A link to Google Play is a commercial one, and we all know that are thousands upon thousands of video games to be found there, a fraction of which are notable - and again, doesn't make the developer notable. The only sources that is somewhat reliable is Egypt Today, but that's one source and does not mean the developer has to have an article.

Specifically: 1) Twitch is self-published content, 2) livecounts is routine reporting (at best, and the ref in the article is broken), 3) tubefilter is closest but does not meet either of WEBCRIT, 4) reddit AMA is not independent of the subject, 5) self-published, 6) upvotes on reddit are not notability, 7) passing quote, 8) article is not about the subject, 9) ???, 10) being nominated in a reddit contest is not notability, 11) about a debate, not about the subject, 12) about a debate, not about the subject, 13) statistical reporting does not confer notability, 14) Yes, another channel exists. --

Thank you for that link. I wasn't suggesting a merge. I was suggesting a renaming for a separate article on the USA network series being filmed. Like you, I don't find anything that it was actually made as a movie. But
WP:BEFORE we do an actual delete, perhaps we should consider just the renaming. The USA network series has been in the works since 2015, so maybe it would be more prudent to just rename/transform this article for the USA network series.

Rename to
Roman Iron Age in Northern Europe ("N" or "n"?), which is the subject here; ie the Iron Age of the lands north of (and during) the Roman Empire but obviously much influenced by it. But the present title is crazy, at least in English - it may be common in books in the local languages, as searches on eg the Norweigian/Danish "Romersk jernalder" suggest.

Rename to
Roman Iron Age in northern Europe per johnbod. In England the Iron Age ended with the Roman invasion in AD 43. In Scotland (which was never permanently conquered) the Iron Age continues until the arrival of Christianity in about the 6th century. In Ireland similarly, the next period is Early Christian. If the term "Roman Iron Age" is used for the period in north Germany (and northwards) when it was influenced by Roman culture and trade from the south and west, we should retain the term, but it needs a qualifier, as its use seems to be limited in geographic scope.

Unless someone digs up "reviews" of the Chess game, the only secondary sources we're using for this thing are secondary introductions to OS X that describe the pack-in software (like Calculator and the rest of the unsourced articles in that section of the {{OS X}} navbox). One such source is

List of OS X components, which is a simple list right now, but I recommend that it be built out with one or two sentence descriptions (such as the one I just mentioned) since many of the other items on this list have little coverage, similar to the Chess game.

Carolina Rebellion. I will continue to monitor and make sure that the language I use is completely objective as to not promote any feature or product offered by the company. The idea is that Danny Wimmer Presents is given the ability to have availability on Wikipedia just as any other promotional company does, such as
AEG Live and
Live Nation. Danny Wimmer Presents will not include seemingly biased information and if someone in the community thinks that this information exists on the page, I would hope that an edit suggestion would be added to the talk page instead of a nomination to delete the page. I am happy to work with the community to edit out any information seen as biased, subjective, or promotional.

Keep As it says in
WP:LISTED, companies listed on a stock exchange are not inherently notable, but "sufficient independent sources almost always exist". It's not just listed on the
New Zealand Exchange, but it forms part of the
NZX 50 Index, and those are the 50 biggest stocks by free-float market capitalisation. Therefore, any lack of reliable sources is most likely a case of editors not having had a good look at publications that deal with the business sector. A good source would thus be the National Business Review, and the case in point is that most of their archive is behind a paywall.
Searching for "Pacific Edge" and then sorting for relevance (their default search order is by date) returns a good number of hits, and I cannot see how this company can be said to not be notable. Schwede6618:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC)reply

This volunteer organization has remained in the province for over 40 years. It is documented extensively at the Provincial Archives of Alberta and references can be found on that page.
https://hermis.alberta.ca/paa/Search.aspx?st=Alberta+Ethnic+Language+Teachers+ It is a flagship organization for heritage language schools that began as a result of a Western Canadian push for Multiculturalism. Although the organization is small, it is historically important. It has worked with the provincial government to develop language curricula that have entered the K-12 systems. While one wikipedian has pointed out that there is only an article in the Edmonton Sun, I would like to point out that the references included in the article do not include the Edmonton Sun.

I honestly cannot figure out what exactly qualifies one for secondary sources, but I would believe that being listed in government sources, qualifies?

I am sorry but I have looked through all of the links you have provided and none of them have any significant coverage of this organization, from what I can tell. First, when you search the Government of Canada website, you need to use quotations to make sure that the organization is actually mentioned. When you do that, you'll get approximately 5 results (not 1500). If you look at those results, you'll see there's no actual coverage of the organization. For example, coverage of Josephine Pallard is not sufficient. We need coverage of the organization, not one of its members. Other links from the province of Alberta are not "independent", which you can see is an important criteria in establishing notability:
WP:GNG. I appreciate your hard work on this, but I do not think notability has been established. I know the rules are a bit convoluted, but a key question is whether or not editors can create a page with content that is reliably sourced from the materials you've presented. Unfortunately none of these sources actually cover the IHLA in any depth.

I am a believer of stating biases so I will begin by stating that I am the creator of this page along with edmontonihla. I am also a believer in Wikipedia’s processes which are designed to keep the pages relevant. Without the work of the moderators Wikipedia would be a collection of articles about people’s pets or advertising.
From what I can gather from the moderators, this page has one main concern which is the notability of the organization. I have spent time reading the notability criteria and I believe that I can address the concerns. The notability page states:
No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools.[1] If the individual organization has received no or very little notice from independent sources, then it is not notable simply because other individual organizations of its type are commonly notable or merely because it exists (see "If it's not notable", below). "Notability" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance." No matter how "important" editors may personally believe an organization to be, it should not have a stand-alone article in Wikipedia unless reliable sources independent of the organization have discussed it.
If I understand that correctly, the organization needs to be publically acknowledged. There are multiple criteria. These include depth, audience, and independent sources. While the majority of these sources are not mainstream media, these are provincial and federal documents.
I would like to point out that this organization has been discussed 1) in getting material brought into the provincial archives, 2) in one of its members receiving the “Citation for Citizenship” in 2008 for her work in founding the organization, 3) multiple partnerships with other Canadian international heritage language organizations such as The Canadian Languages Association (
http://www.canadianlanguages.ca/cla-regional-affiliates/), The Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers (
http://www.caslt.org/community/community-partners-provincial_en.php). In the latter organization’s it also lists scholarships that the organization offers (
https://caslt.org/resources/modern-lang/italian-awards-programs_en.php). 4) Although the organization is not “discussed”, it is “thanked” in multiple federal and provincial documents. Some of these are listed above. 5) The organization has been in the media, but admittedly these are usually not about the organization itself, but rather are about events that it is hosting.
Specifically addressing non-profits, the Wikipedia notability page states: Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:
1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale.
2. The organization has received significant coverage in multiple[2] reliable sources that are independent of the organization.
As pointed out previously and within the links, the volunteer organization has been listed in multiple federal and provincial government documents. I would also like to point out that the organization has historical relevance as it was formed as a direct result of the establishment of the first Ministry of Culture who created the Canadian Counsultative Council on Multiculturalism to support and promote the changing view of Canada as a “multicultural country within a bilingual framework” as opposed to the previous “bilingual/bicultural country” with only two founding nations: English and French. This article is important, not only for its work, but for its place within the history of multiculturalism in Canada. Since multiculturalism is an evolving concept within Canada and really is only 40 years old, it is essential to document its earliest organizations

Mr. Magoo, it's not a linguist association, it's a heritage language school association. So, I am sure you are aware of children who had to go to Greek school or Chinese school on Saturday. Those kinds of language schools are often called Saturday schools. In 1969, the then Prime Minister of Canada called the country a "bilingual and bicultural nation". This was done to appease French Canadians who were starting to realize that their language has less power than English. There was a huge backlash from Western Canada who argued that other groups were equally as important. Particularly vocal were Albertan Ukrainians. They fought the bicultural ad bilingual label and said that there was no way Canada was founded by two groups. As a result, Canada was declared a multicultral framework within a bilingual country. ONe of the first things that happened after that was the development of the ministry of Multiculturalism. One of that Ministry's first jobs was to form the Canadian Counsultative Council of Multiculturalism. It was a group that founded The Alberta Ethnic Language Teachers Association. The organization changed names three times and became the International and Heritage Languages Association that it is today.
The purpose of the article is document the organization's place in history. As of today the organization works on developing inter-provincally accepted language curriculum (The Western Canadian protocol for International and Heritage Languages), supporting heritage language teachers get credentialed so that they can enter the public school system and they celebrate UNESCO's mother language day. The fact that Saturday schools used to be held in church basements and are now part of a school system is the result of their work. They are often "thanked" in government documents. I never included these things within the article because they are promotional and I don't want to go against wikipedia policy.
As I understand the wikipedians' objections, it is because the organization is not adequately documented newspapers and the soul subject of articles. However, since the volunteer organization works closely with government agencies, it is mentioned there. I want to point out that wikipedia has already approved a sister organization called the Saskatchewan Organization of Heritage Languages (SOHL).
Here are two more published references which list the organizaton:

There are definitely some writing tone and sourcing problems here — it was created at a time when our sourcing requirements were very different than they are now, and old articles admittedly haven't always kept up with the evolution in those standards — but for that very reason, when we run across an article in that camp, we have to take extra care to run a sourcing check, to determine whether the article is fixable or not,
WP:BEFORE we rush the article out the door. In
ProQuest's "Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies" database, I get 148 hits from daily newspapers not limited to Montreal, which means that there is enough coverage and notability to get this back up to contemporary
WP:GNG standards. And considering the nominator's edit history — almost completely blanking
Paul Cargnello as an IP, getting reverted almost instantly, then immediately registering a brand new username so they could reblank it and list it for deletion even though its problems turned out to be completely fixable, and then going straight for this — I strongly suspect that this has less to do with any principled concern for Wikipedia's rules and more to do with personal animus against Cargnello and Fiorentino for some reason that's none of Wikipedia's concern. The problems here are repairable. Keep.

While I have heard of the guy before and actually have one of his albums, I fired up
ProQuest fully expecting that I was actually going to have to say "delete as I can't add any viable sourcing to fix this". But I get 133 hits dating all the way back to 1998...which means I can salvage it after all. I think I need to start trusting my gut reaction instead of my second thoughts. Keep and I'll take a stab at cleanup.

I significantly improved the sourcing last night, so the article is now entirely keepable. While I acknowledge that there were some sourcing and writing tone problems in the version that existed before the nominator restubbed it down to almost nothing, the fact that I was able to revise and re-reference it so easily demonstrates that stripping it down to a bare assertion of his existence was not the correct solution to those problems: the notability was there, better sourcing for it was locatable, and accordingly just erasing the whole damn thing was not appropriate. And since doing all of that was the nominator's first Wikipedia edit ever under this username, I strongly suspect that they were motivated less by Wikipedia's actual rules and more by a personal vendetta (pardon the pun) of some sort against Cargnello.

Appears to fail
WP:GNG,
WP:BIO,
WP:ATHLETE. Ref #3 is apparently to a print ad of a restaurant but does not mention Andrianov by name. Ref #1 cannot be validated because it is behind a registration wall. Ref #4 is a single photo showing a skater in a competition. Also, so far as I can tell (using Google Translate at this point), 2 of the sources are not independent of the subject (and so fail
WP:IRS). I am also concerned because, if the 2002 birthdate is correct. then the subject is a minor.

@
331dot: Winning a single
Competitive eating contest, albeit 5 times, does not equal notability as a competitive eater. Additionally, a Wikipedia search for the contest Cordes has won—the Cheese Eating Nationals—comes up empty, showing that the contest itself is non-notable. Also, the news articles used as citations in the article are from local papers, which shows that that Mr. Cordes's notability is very limited. There are wikipedia articles about several notable competitive eaters; Brian Cordes does not appear (to me at least) to be in the same class of notability as them.

DeleteRedirect to
Allie X per the notability problems addressed above. I would, however, suggest to the nominator of using a different word other than "unremarkable" to explain the lacking notability of a subject, as it would suggest you're meaning that the topic is bad and it makes it sound like a
WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument, which now thinking about it I don't think you're trying to do.

I will gladly change my user name to something else. I guarantee some fan of lets say Beyonce created an account with Beyonce in the user name just to edit the Beyonce article. I don't see this as a big deal. I created a new account and that is the name I used. I also don't see anywhere where there is advertisement. The article is about the apple, the tree and the name. This is a new variety of apple. There are other articles on Wikipedia about new apples that aren't being deleted, like Lady Alice,
/info/en/?search=Lady_Alice_%28apple%29. That article has less references and that variety of apple is owned by one company and only planted by that company. The Crimson Delight apple was available to all apple growers in Washington State and multiple growers grow that variety.

Keep I don't think we have any clearly defined notability guidelines for apple (or other fruit and vegetable cultivars). This is no less notable then other apple cultivars with articles. It seems that the user name issue is what triggered this getting sent to AfD. The article certainly should be improved the. Additional reliable sources may be using the formal cultivar name 'WA 2' rather than the trade name "Crimson Delight" (e.g.
this article).

The COI came up due to my original user name as it was the same as the article. When i originally signed up I tried multiple user names with no luck and since I was going to write about the crimson delight apple I used that as my user name. I have since changed it (after having to try multiple other names) but it is done. No COI.

Keep This is one of 206 listed in the category
Category:Apple cultivars. This one is likely middle of the pack for those that are listed there. It appears to be a commercially sold variety, which meets a certain level of notability. Without a wholesale pruning of the cultivar orchard with clear guidelines for deleting/keeping, this should stay. Regarding COI, how can there be conflict of interest just because someone uses an apple name for their username? It's an interesting username. I wish User:Crimson Delight would have kept it rather than being persuaded or bullied into something different.
