Strong keep The article was poorly developed by its creator I must say, but as per
WP:GNG an article need not pass every guideline to merit inclusion into the Encylopedia. Now may we all keep in mind that the article is about a Nigerian, third world countries do not have as much resources and exposure, (as per research); the Average Nigerian lives on $1 talk less of access to information materials, the Internet & basic sources. America, Asia, Europe do not have this issue, as so, if it were an article on an American, Asian, or a European I would probably support the nominator. This article up for deletion pertains to an individual born in 1940, in 1940, the Country Nigeria had not even been given their independence, so we all could imagine how low technology was, regardless, articles were still written about this individual somehow, that obviously portrays a form of notability, a major problem is failure to do proper research before nominating an article for deletion, most editors often make the mistake of ascribing notability just by number of Google hits found and if not satisfied with results, nominates the article. That is why Wikipedia has a policy as thus;
WP:COMMONSENSE it enables an editor to sit down and use their discretion before taking an action. Some People born in Nigeria, even at the year 2001, do not have sufficient coverage or articles written about them let alone somehow born 20 years prior the Nigerians received their Independence.
Now, Wikipedia also states that rather than a page deletion, efforts should be made to improve the article, the history button for this article
Isaiah Oke shows me greatly improving this article, now sir,
Versace1608 you are quite knowledgeable and resourceful, now prior nominating this page for deletion, did you at least try your best to improve this article? Did your via talkpage contact the creator of this page and express your displeasure in the articles current state? Do reply me sir. Thank you.

Delete The internet not existing when someone would have written about him is pretty irrelevant, as is evidenced by the thousands of articles we have on people who died hundreds of years ago. However, I can't find any reliable sources that support a single item in this article about him. Sure, plenty on the
Yoruba religion but that's not the subject. I found some mentions in books, however they are largely as a result of the article on Wikipedia, even citing Wikipedia. Short of

CommentChrissymad &
NeilN to a certain extent I understand your arguement, it's quite plausible just as mine is, example : Adam, according to the Christian bible is the first man on earth, which is thousands of years ago, wow he surely must not have any articles about him, but wait, he does? How is that so?? How please?? It is so because he is of extreme great value to the history of humanity and Mankind. Now, some African individuals , perhaps even Nigerians born before 1940 have articles about them because like Adam, they were of priceless value to the history of that specific Nation, take a look at the link provided by @
NeilN on 19 century Nigerians you'd discover some were traditional prime ministers and some very great kings of powerful states. Do you think that they were the only notable people of their time? Surely not, but because of their very great positions it was mandatory 'history' took note of them, if for example, the subject of our deliberation existed then, a mere shaman, do you think 'history' Would have accommodated him???? The answer is No, and you made a statement above sir @
chrissymad implying that this article has no references, it does, but sadly a great part of its Refrences is in print or hard copy, that was why I challenged the nominator, seeing as he is of Nigerian descent to at least try and develop it before this nomination, because surely information resource centers are now available in Nigeria he could walk into any and make good research on this subject I'm not sure the Nigerian information collection centers make use of virtual libraries I could have from my end done the research but again this is one major issue affecting third world countries lack of technology, and mind you @
Chrissymad I never said you should cease commenting on this article on the contrary, an intelligent exchange of information is worth more than gold to me. The article itself has some references on it, I'd keep on searching for sources and do the best I can. reply me if you have any questions.

Celestina007 I'm not sure you're understanding what we are saying nor do I understand what you are saying. If physical sources exist, use them, if they don't, we cannot have an article. The argument that Nigeria/ns won't have adequate sources because of the countries financial instability is a non-starter and rather silly. Look at the last category I gave you, there are hundreds of individuals born well before this man in Nigeria with adequate reliable sources. You're making this into something that it is not, you're comparing apples to houses. I never said there were no sources, just that there were no reliable sources in the article or that I could find. The only source that mentions him is a self-published book. If physical sources exist, find them, cite them properly and update the article. This is an encyclopedia and requires reliable sources, period (particularly for living people.) Instead of continuing to argue about why there might not be sources, why don't you look for the ones that do exist (if they do)? CHRISSYMAD❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯20:10, 7 April 2017 (UTC)reply

User:Alexander Iskandar - Again, see
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Any particular article is reviewed on its own, and the existence of other articles is not an argument to keep an article that has been nominated for deletion. Any registered editor may nominate any of the existing articles for deletion, and we can review them when they are nominated. As to the question, do I think it is acceptable to delete articles with notability issues, you probably know the answer; I think that Wikipedia policy is satisfactory, and that any article that is nominated for deletion should be reviewed as to its notability, and, if the consensus is that it is not notable, it should be deleted. If you disagree with the policy, go to
Village pump (policy) or some other policy forum. If you don't want this article reviewed for deletion, please provide a policy-based reason why it should not be reviewed for deletion.

This !vote and some others are reactions that are seem consistent with the voter being unaware of the objective facts out there, and their assuming that the whole topic is nonsense, when it is not. It is simply objective fact that different groups get different pollution, as the wealthier choose to live in cleaner-air neighborhoods and are willing to pay a measurable premium to do so, and as poorer neighborhoods persist in the shadow of industrial and traffic pollution. I have some past familiarity with economic studies of this, including some focusing on areas in California and in Texas. Of course it would be possible to go too far and make outrageous political claims involving false conspiracies, but although the article mentions Trump it does not go down ridiculous pathways. This article needs sensible development and editing, but it is a fair topic. --

Keep. You can't say it is a fork without identifying what article it is a fork from. The topic is valid. It is simply a fact that there are disproportionate effects of air pollution, e.g. from unfortunate but fairly "natural" selection of poorer groups to live in the cheap locations downwind of chemical plants (or equivalently from selection of wealthier to move to cleaner-air locations). Major chemical firms deliberately sited plants in remote areas specifically to avoid causing pollution impacts on communities, then development around them happened. This is part of economic history of the United States. And the health effects can be estimated by various approaches, which economists do. Sure, there could be biases in the writing, and the article could/should be discussed and tagged and edited, but this is done through discussion at its Talk page and normal editing. FYI, I saw this mentioned at

more aggressive words used by the President himself. Please feel free to engage me about what you think of the course, but please do so without, in a blanket way, undermining the work that Wikipedians and students are doing here

This article is so poorly written that almost none of it is worth saving. I went in to help after the AFD and found a poorly sourced, poorly written article that should be an embarrassment to anyone associated with it. I am not a deletionist and while I do think the topic is notable, I would rather see it deleted and rewritten than try to salvage any of it. Cleanup seems impossible when one faction believes that anything mentioning the rifle in a positive way is marketing and that it is only notable because a madman used one to murder people and there is no writeup about the pros and cons of the rifle in The New York Times or Harpers. It does not help when the other side relies on half-assed blogs and press releases instead of higher quality sources. This article and this debate over its deletion is a shitshow.--

Strong Keep and close. The only problem here is that the proposer is mis-reading the WikiProject Firearms guidelines. That guideline is there to stop people from making new pages on the Smith & Wesson Models 29-1, 29-2, 29-3, 29-4, 629-1, 629-2, 629-3, etc. when they're all covered by the
Smith & Wesson Model 29 page. It's not to discourage creating pages on notable (per GNG) models made by other companies.

Speedy Keep. GNG clearly met. Problem is the pushing of POV content of any thing and every thing that can be construed to be negative into the article without any weight or relevance criteria being applied. If a S&W M&P fell off a table onto someone's toe at a range, this would likely even be added by certain editors, as it would reflect negatively on the rifle, and push a negative agenda. We should not confuse negativity with relevance with notability.

Yes, it's a ward of a panchayat. There's no official "village" categorization in India, which follows the system state -> district -> panchayat -> ward -> unofficial categorizations. Thus, either the panchayat or ward could be unofficially called a village. However, it's still a place with an officially recognized name, with a population of over 1000, and two elected members representing it at the panchayat level. Thus, I don't see why it fails to pass

Delete. I removed two sources (the Telegraph and Nature) which appeared to be used to support the notability of this concept, but actually don't mention it. With them gone, the only sources that actually cover the EBS number are the first three, all web sites of dubious reliability and independence. The remaining sources are all either about collaboration distances considered more generally, or are used to support
original research about the numbers of individual people. I supported keeping the article on Erdős–Bacon number because it was covered in-depth in undisputably reliable sources, despite its unimportance, but for this one I just don't see it. —

It is very clear after all this that the consensus is these articles don't meet notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Jonah Bryson's persistent attempts to get around these deletions through repeated recreation with different titles indicates this user has no intention of abiding by that consensus.

Delete. Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which filmmakers are entitled to create articles about themselves or their films just because they exist — certain specific standards of notability and sourceability have to be attained for an article to become earned, and even when those things have been attained the article still can't be created by someone with a direct
conflict of interest. Of the two sources here that could even start to build a case for the film's notability, Bryson himself was the author of one of them and his co-director Rob Stewart (yes, that Rob Stewart...RIP) was the author of the other — which makes them both
primary sources, not notability-conferring ones. There's just no properly sourced evidence of notability per
WP:NFILM here, and it is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists.

Mduvekot, could you say what you mean by improperly sourced? There are primary sources to her YouTube channel but these complement a number of secondary beauty sites like Revelist, Bustle, Parsel, and Fashionista. (I helped

I'll got through them in order. You already agree that YouTube is not a good source. Fashionista may be acceptable. The husband tag is Light herself, so that's an unacceptable primary source. The About Us is KL Polish Light's own company, also an unacceptable primary source. I think you can also agree that that Parsel is a a promo piece in a blog, without a byline, with no signs of editorial control. Colorpop is not an independent source. Then there's more YouTube, and still more YouTube. loveforlacquer is not a reliable source, explorewithcorinth is a blog, more YouTube,
Bustle (magazine) is a maybe acceptable as a source, but a look at the article, it shows nothing that is useable for an encyclopedic bio. They're product announcements. Then there's more YouTube. Revelist has no byline, and again, is just a product announcement. Then we get Kali Borovicfrom Bustle again, who tell us that "The colors are gorgeous and the price it totally affordable, making this a makeup lovers dream.". Then we get some more YouTube, and finally Bustle informs us that Light is "This beauty vlogger is known for creating stunning looks on YouTube." None of these sources are substantially about the subject. So yeah, the article is improperly sourced. These are not
independent,
reliable sources, and they do not establish that the subject is notable.

Reagle about several of the articles written by his students. YouTube is not a reliable source. When this was moved to mainspace I took a look and found it incredibly promotional.

Icewhiz (

05:52, 7 April 2017 (UTC)reply
Icewhiz Thanks. I think the article should be kept (and rewritten) if the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That does not appear to be the case:
[37] is syndicated from a blog, hellogiggles. Neither an independent nor a reliable source.
[38] Bustle is an blog that generates revenue from affiliate marketing, so neither an independent nor a reliable source.
[39] has not content beyond "Kathleen Lights New Nail Polish Line Is Seriously Dope, and We've Got the First Look at Every Single Shade"
[40] Has some outdated stats on her social media reach, and mentions collaborations with
Colourpop and
Morphe, and her nail polish brand. That's not significant coverage.
[41] Mentions that she's from Florida, has outdated YouTube subscriber numbers and mentions that she has no professional background as a make-up artist.
[42] has as a byline "by Kathleen Lights & PRESENTED BY CREST 3D WHITE WHITESTRIPS". You cannot be seriously suggesting this.
[43] That's an interesting one. Cosmetics firms using social media influencers as a marketing strategy is a relatively new and interesting phenomenon, that probably is worthy of encyclopedic attention, and I'm sure that it can be described in an article like the one on affiliate marketing. Still not sure that the mention of her collaboration with Seed amounts to significant coverage.
[44] Advertisement. Actually says so in the byline.
[48] Says that "she has dealt with frequent panic attacks and lingering anxiety caused by trauma" and quotes her quoting her therapist. Is the author, Jessica Eggert, a reliable expert on psychological trauma? Are we going to mention some unsubstantiated claim about mental illness in a BLP? No way.
[49] Glamour (magazine) I'm not sure how Glamour operates, it's part of Condé Nast, appears to have editorial control, but this particular piece is listed under Product Reviews. Those are not independent. They're not journalism, they're promotion.
[50] Only has a quote from KL: ""These new @elfcosmetics brushes literally made me gasp," We're going to use that?
[51] "ColourPop founders Laura and John Nelson marketed the brand by having popular beauty bloggers, like YouTuber Kathleen Lights and Instagrammer Feral Creature, promote the makeup on social pages." That's all they have.
[52] This article is in
Indonesian, but it doesn;t tell us anything we didn't already know; she's from Miami and has collaborated with (translation:promoted) a number of cosmetics brands.
[53] The Independent is a real newspaper, and very much a reliable source, most of the time. Except here, the article consists of copies of instagram posts.
Obviously some of these are far from great - and clearly coverage of models can be, umm, vain. But I would say part of the significance of a fashion model is the breadth of her dealings. Here is a bunch more:
[54] (the text is on the side bar - need to slide over to reach, quite a bit of it) - listing + info in a top10 social media list.
[56] - Entry about her in ione (which appears to be Vietnamese or Thai? Google-translate eats it)
[57] - another listing in a vlogger list with some info.
+ of course follower numbers in youtube and instagram + lots and lots of one-liner references in other publications (she tweeted X, she promoted Y, etc.).
I agree this needs a rewrite (+ sourcing RS) - and it won't be me (too far out of my fields of interest) - but if written and sources properly this probably would've passed muster.

Keep - I looked at some of the sources that
Icewhiz found - although some are slightly weak sources, there are enough nods and namechecks in sources such as Cosmopolitan, particularly the Indonesian Cosmopolitan link that recommends her as someone to follow, that show that she is notable. The Women's Wear Daily article specifically about her is a good source, and the Business of Fashion source also works for me. I'm less persuaded by the Irish Independent source, but it does support that she is known as a make-up guru. So while the article is pretty lousily written, and the subject may seem instantly non-notable, I think there is plenty of evidence that she is noteworthy in that particular field she has chosen. I concur that vloggers and bloggers do show a lot more influence on fashion nowadays - while she isn't quite as notable as
Susanna Lau, she still passes notability for me and I'm usually quite scathing on social media celebs.

My search yielded 3,410 results so this isn't as obscure as the Wikipedia article made it appear. I am not real familiar with the topic, so perhaps this is already covered in a broader article and doesn't require one of its own, in which case it should be merged.

WP:GNG - non-notable accident, no fatalities, no other reasons for notability, no hull loss, etc. etc.. Whilst the incident is interesting, it is, thankfully, a rare operational hazard of operating gas turbine engined aircraft
Petebutt (
talk)
17:00, 6 April 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep - Let’s examine a few reasons why:
1. Notability - This article meets Wikipedia’s standard of notability. Wikipedia’s standards are “If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.” Multiple mainstream and local news sources reported on this incident, a simple Google search confirms this.
2. Commercial Airliner (large jet) - The plane in question was from a top commercial airliner in the US. It was not a light aircraft or military plane. See
WP:AIRCRASH
3. Substantial and Unique Damage - There was substantial damage (NTSB’s own words) to the plane and the engine which caught fire and had to be extinguished. The damage was also unique. While there is debris that gets flung from an uncontained engine failure, very rarely does is penetrate the fuselage causing a failure in cabin pressure and narrowly miss passengers or damage critical flight controls which included the wing, vertical stabilizer, and horizontal stabilizer. A great rundown by an aviation safety expert about the rarity and seriousness of this incidence is found here
https://www.quora.com/How-dangerous-is-an-engine-failure-for-a-737
4. Uncontained Engine Failure - An
uncontained engine failure is a serious and rare occurrence (your own words), unlike the more common and less reported engine failures due to compressor stalls, bird strikes, or pressure/heat problems. It has it’s own wiki page and list of incidences due to its importance. An uncontained engine event occurs when an engine failure results in fragments of rotating engine parts penetrating and exiting through the engine case which is designed to stop it. Uncontained turbine engine disk failures within an aircraft engine present a direct hazard to an airplane and its passengers because high-energy disk fragments can penetrate the cabin or fuel tanks, damage flight control surfaces, or sever flammable fluid or hydraulic lines (in older planes).
5. Public Demand - By using the US Google search for Southwest Flight 3472, three of the most used search terms include the word “wiki” at the end of it. People are looking for the wikipedia article because they most likely curious about what happened and desire a summary of the incident and follow up. Many of the news articles I also came across failed to have all the information on the incident in one place like the engine type, tail number, sequence of events, first hand accounts, investigation proceedings, etc. While this may seem like a non-worhty incident to a self-claimed international pilot like you living outside the U.S. with thousands of flight hours, it has a much different impression for the general public, especially in the country that it affected.
6. “Hull loss and Injuries” - Requiring hull loss or injuries as a requirement for notability is an arbitrary measure that would invalidate many aviation incidents already up on Wikipedia and therefore be inconsistent with past editorial judgement. On the current
Southwest Airlines page and
uncontained engine failure page there are incidences listed that resulted in zero injuries yet are not deleted due to the importance. An incident should not be valued on if there were no death or injuries but on its notability, rarity, and public demand.
Hierophantus (
talk)
22:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)reply
If that's the standard then the same argument for deletion could apply to
American Airlines Flight 383 (2016) and a variety of other articles. Both Southwest and American were not routine incidences but rare and serious ones and they have enduring notability due to ongoing investigations and the fact that the engines they use are on planes across the world. Also, length of media coverage on a topic has no basis on notability. "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage."
Wikipedia:Notability#Notability_is_not_temporary The fact that the NTSB investigation is not fully completed for either of them, which may lead to FAA or Boeing recommendations that impact all airliners in its class, makes your recommendation fall directly in line with

- You claim 15 uncontained engine failures happen a year in the U.S., this is completely false. This CBS report that cites international safety statistics says there are about 25 incidents a year "internationally" involving a jet engine failing either in flight or on the ground which includes all forms of engine failure, contained and uncontained.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jet-engine-failures-rare-usually-not-fatal/ Also, out of all the uncontained engine failures that do happen, even fewer end up puncturing the fuselage and causing cabin decompression and damaging the critical flight surfaces (wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers).

Keep - this was not a run-of-the-mill engine failure, uncontained or not. It is probably one of the most serious uncontained engine failures not to have resulted in the loss of an aircraft. Final report not out yet, once it is, then maybe that is the time to re-evaluate the accident.

The result was redirect to

Comment: By definition any precursor telescope is not this telescope, so i'm not sure how that is relevant. The paper you cite again is not directly relevant to this telescope concept; it is only tangentially related to ELTs in general. In fact it only references the concept once, and even then in a rather non-committal way;
Large telescopes, such as the 75 m Colossus telescope are needed to investigate hundreds of Earth-like planets in stellar habitable zones.
More importantly it is written by people involved in the concept, thus it is still a primary source. As for other organisations, the website states;
Organizations that have supported the PLANETS telescope.
Firstly supported can mean a lot of things, and universities are involved in many collaborations that aren't of note to include in an encyclopedia. Secondly this is specifically in relation to the proposed precursor, NOT the concept that is the subject of this article.

Comment: It fails your lack notability argument, it passes the notability clearly, with a 2.6m dollar investment on the precursor and 2018 delivery, new technology, peer reviewed work, and PLANETS is a telescope and a foundation. You're picking and choosing what is the value of a scientific contribution and how that entails for the whole project, and discounting the science team behind the effort.

Delete. There is almost no content about the proposed telescope itself (the article subject). What little there is probably should be a footnote in another article. If and when coverage gets beyond primary sources, we should create the article with the information available at the time. No point in creating an article before such content exists. I particularly lean against keeping the article because it looks like an attempt to leverage Wikipedia as a publicity engine rather than to document something notable.

I note that the Spanish version of the article has more information about the telescope proposal itself (for example, that it's 60 separate 8 meter telescopes). If this article does survive, sections 4 & 5 should be deleted outright (they aren't about the proposal), and the lede and section 3 need to be rewritten using English grammar. Section 2 (aside from the spelling error), needs to be more specific "hybrid <anything> technology" is not meaningful without specifying what is being talked about.

Sections 4 and 5 are precursor efforts. Also the hybrid technology has more details that I could add but after the review.

Merge to
Extremely large telescope. Wikipedia is a
tertiary source. We require that topics be already well known (notable in the Wikipedia sense) as shown by reliable pubished sources covering the topic in depth. These need to be secondary sources, not the primary sources written by people associated with the Colossus project. The fact that the primary sources are peer reviewed doesn't matter.
Quantanew, this does not mean that the project is not worthy of note. It just hasn't been published about yet by people independent of the project. We have the same problem with many technical topics that come out of industry rather than academia, where all discussion of development was internal. It can be very frustrating, but if there isn't published independent material there can't be a Wikipedia article.

Redirect to

As mentioned, she is appearing in more books, and could potentially become a more prominent character with reliable sources discussing her in a non-plot way, and if that occurs this can easily be restored as a separate article. But, until then, a redirect to the main character list is the best choice.

The discussion on notability is focused on the character's notability outside of the context of the series/source material so it is irrelevant to this discussion if the character " has also appeared in
Monsters Unleashed (comics) and is treated exactly the same as all other notable characters in the series" as already stated by Argento Surfer. The character's appearance on the variant cover does not lead to notability alone; it would only be useful if the character's appearance on the cover received significant coverage in third-party, notable sources (i.e. more than an appearance on a list or a brief sentence). The press release is a nice resource to have for an article, but it also does not establish notability as it is closely connected to the publisher. It also does not contain that much information on the character aside from a brief description of her identity and that she will be featured in a series. The CBR source is a really good and there is a lot that you can pull out about the character from that. The Primary Ignition source could also be helpful for getting a better grip on the character's reception. The EW source is also good, but the reference to Viv is rather brief. Tl;dr: The cover and the character's appearances in the series does not prove notability, while the three websites listed are a good start. I am still not 100% convinced about this character's notability and would suggest that you keep digging for further resources.

While looking through those sources, I found a somewhat uneven coverage of the character. Some of the articles provide some commentary on the character, while I know that one of them only briefly mentions the character in terms of summary. Again, I think you have done a wonderful job in uncovering more sources on this character and I am definitely getting a better understanding of your argument, but I am just going to wait to either confirm my existing vote or revise it until I hear feedback from other more experienced users.

Comments As Argento Surfer mentioned there is little guidance regarding articles for fictional characters. Previous Afd discussions don't show a lot of consistency in the criteria applied. We do have something in
WP:BKMERGE which says (among other things) "...it is not normally advisable to have a separate article on a character or thing from the book,..." Which is contrary to the idea that any major character is 'Wikipedia notable', although it goes on to say there are exceptions. Typically we look for significant coverage by independent reliable sources. Source content that is written by or an interview response from a connected individual does not contribute to notability. This is the case with some of the sources in the article and mentioned here. Coverage in press releases is not independent and thus not helpful to notability. Looking at the current sources in the article:
The King Builds a Better Family in “Vision" article is an interview of Tom King. Not independent coverage.
The Marvel's 'Champions': Young superheroes channel activist sides in new series article is another interview of connected individuals. Not independent coverage.
The Marvel teases that Viv Vision will change the world in October’s “Champions” article has trivial mentions of Viv. It's just a couple sentences and a press release list of Champions #1 facts.
The Hydra strikes in first preview of Marvel's Secret Empire #1 article has just her name in a list of characters.
The They Are Champions At Kissing… ( Squee SPOILERS) is a brief article with, imo, one trivial fact.
The In Champions, Viv Vision’s Wi-Fi Password Will Break Your Heart article does have several mentions of Viv as it runs through the story line.
The Champions #4 Review: A Sea Faring Adventure With No Pirates article mentions Viv a few times as the story line is summarized. There are four sentences discussing the Viv character separate from the story line content.
The Viv Vision Skills Intro | MARVEL Tsum Tsum video is not independent, thus not helpful to notability.
That's not much independent coverage of Viv. Character mentions in a plot summary are routine and not an indication of exceptional notability. The Primary Ignition material makes some mentions of Viv but again it's mostly plot summary with nothing in-depth about Viv. I'll look over the other sources mentioned here and update if I've missed something helpful to notability.

I agree with everybody's comments. She is a relatively new character who has never had her own solo series. But she is a member of a relatively new superteam that is published monthly by a major publisher and is getting notability as a member of that superteam. This notability is not translating into lots of news articles just on her but she is getting more prominently displayed on comic covers, other comic series, and video games.

Apart from the fact that the title of this article does not match the title given in the lead sentence (which is it??), the article itself makes no claim as to the subject's notability and provides a reference to the journal's own website as one of its two references. Article includes no references to discussion of the subject in multiple reliable independent verifiable secondary sources. This article appears to be one of a series of recently created articles on earth science journals, all of which should probably be scrutinized carefully for notability. A search on the subject results in multiple hits for the journal which are not discussion of it but rather only evidence of its existence. If the journal itself is discussed anywhere, I was not able to find it.

Keep My apologies for giving the incorrect title in the lead sentence, I have now corrected this. I have read the Wikipedia guidelines on notability for academic journals
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(academic_journals) and having done this I believe this particular journal clearly and unambiguously qualifies because it is included in many selective citation indices including Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Journal Citation Reports. It therefore qualifies under criterion C1b and C1c.

Merge to some target, either to the university article or possibly to a new list-article of the campus buildings of
East Tennessee State University, as a compromise. I happen to accept the "other stuff exists" type argument, that there are many academic articles and what is different about this one, is a fair question. Let us note that there are list-articles about university buildings which have been split out of university articles, and which have served as good places to host info about individual dormitories and other buildings that are not hugely notable. See
Category:Lists of university and college buildings in the United States. There is
East Tennessee State University#Campus buildings which is ripe for splitting out. On the other hand, it lists an indoor arena which has an article and this library, plus numerous perhaps booring academic and residence buildings. We could be on the verge of a campaign to create separate articles about each one.
In favor of this article:
The assertion above that it was designated an "Outstanding Building" in the 1999 Architectural Portfolio of American School & University, although I don't have perspective about the importance of that award.
The general fact that university libraries are fairly salient landmarks in their communities, and usually have relatively more importance to the outside-university public than do dormitories or classroom buildings.
I want to assume good faith on the part of the contributor, as a new contributor who is capable of writing and has much to offer.
Problems of writing can be addressed by editing and/or by tagging, don't require deletion of the whole article.
Not in favor of this article:
This is no
Bizzell Memorial Library (an academic library which is in fact historically significant on a U.S. national level); I don't see any assertion of historic importance, nor any significant one of architectural importance
I haven't gone very far in Google News searching, but I haven't turned up anything substantially about the library, besides routine articles in the
East Tennessean (a student newspaper, or a university admin publication?) about new staff, what's happening this summer, etc. Onus is on the article developers in general to provide evidence of importance.
Content such as "Our faculty can place library and/or personal materials on course reserve" belongs on a library webpage, and is decidedly not encyclopedic, is not written from the perspective of the encyclopedia. It is embarrassing to see, in fact.
Merger to a list of university buildings is a decent alternative to deletion. It saves the content in the edit history of what becomes a redirect.
In balance, I kind of assume a sort of notability for a university library, although what is present should be edited way down and put in encyclopedic tone. This can be done in a few sentences. A few sentences is perhaps more than is appropriate within the university article. Splitting out a list of campus buildings would provide suitable spot for the few sentences or more about the library.
Note to any closer: if there is still no separate list-article on the university's buildings, that should not stop a close with direction to merge/redirect to such a target. The decision can still be posted at the article; the decision does not have to be implemented all the way immediately. And you can also notify me of such a close and I will create such an article. --

Delete, per DGG's argument, this is simply a lengthy extension/replication of the library website. The current building, less than 20 years old, doesn't strike me as being notable either. Deletion wouldn't prohibit someone adding a couple of sentences, but merging this entire content would be completely unbalanced.

Non-notable village with no encylopaedic conent,
WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Has never been edited since its creation, has no content whatsoever. This is something of a test case because I am concentrating mostly on what a bot has made out of silly redirect titles by assuming the "ü" was a
Germanic umlaut, and thus created "
Qamduen". That's at RfD, but if we can say nothing about a subject, we should say so. Just having its coordinate data is not good enough,
WP:NOTDIRECTORY I think applies. There are hundreds of thousands of these, of course. A good 25,000 with geodata scraped from the
INSEE and a good 2,500 from the
Hungarian Central Statistical Office, of which a few have encylopaedic content but the vast majority don't. I imagine that the same will apply to many other countries, but French places, Hungarian places and English places are mostly what I discover, because that tends to be my expertise. I appreciate
WP:NOTFINISHED but these have not even been started, just imported from a
geographical database to bump the number of articles up, without adding any content to them.

Ganden (tib: དགའ་ལྡན), i.e. Joyous Land, Tushita, also the name of famous monastery near Lhasa. Wrong. The Tibetan name of the place is བྱངས་མདུན (Wylie: byangs mdun).

Keep. I think an argument can be made to cull a significant number of Tibetan village articles that say nothing more than "So-and-so is a village in Tibet". I make a distinction, however, for
township-level villages (such as this) that are a distinct administrative level of the Chinese settlement hierarchy and clearly meet
WP:GEOLAND guidelines. I'm going to work on beefing up many of the township-level and county-level settlement articles for Greater Tibet in the upcoming months, and I'll make sure to include this one. --

Keep, given the sources that the IP has generously provided, it seems that this subject satisfies the
intentionally low bar set by
WP:GEOLAND. The nominator has linked
WP:NOTDIRECTORY but for the life of me I don't see how it applies and would appreciate some specific text to be cited. "Directory entry" is not interchangeable with "an article that is currently very short"; the crux would be whether the subject was incapable of further encyclopedic expansion. Anyone who watches the
list of Geography-related deletion discussions sees these sorts of articles nominated regularly; almost always it's a non-English location with a short or poorly formatted article. The nomination usually boils down to "I've never heard of it", and if you're lucky they'll present their hasty, fruitless Google search (in English, of course) as evidence of "non-notability". The articles are usually kept or merged, rarely deleted, because even though
AFD is not cleanup, it's typically not hard for someone with the necessary language skills and geographic knowledge to demonstrate the subject's suitability for inclusion (thanks, 84.73.134.206!). "There are hundreds of thousands of these" for a reason, and that reason is found within
WP:5PILLARS: A stated aim of Wikipedia is to function at least partially as a
gazeteer, and having extant stubs allows for ease of expansion by non-power users who may
eventually find the article and improve it. Instead of using this as a "test case" (to do what, exactly? Set precedent for deleting short geographic articles while bypassing
WP:BEFORE?), I agree with Trotavore that the nominator would be better served by initializing a larger discussion at the Village Pump,
WP:NGEO, or maybe even WP:5PILLARS itself if this sort of article is seen as truly problematic.

Keep Well if this was a "test case" nom it seems to be a decisive result in favour of our existing policies such as

WP:NSOFT. At least one of 4 points is required. EXMACT meets at least "It is the subject of instruction at multiple grade schools, high schools, universities or post-graduate programs." We think it meets also "It is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field." but of course it depends on definition of reliable sources. We think that a scientific conference and Czech Department of Industry can be considered as reliable sources.

Keep. Brainwave entrainment seems to be something that is widely studied in the literature. A
scholar search reveals many articles published in peer reviewed literature (in good journals too, not just the usual trawl of Beall's list), for example:
an article in the journal
Neuroscience letters,
an article in
Physical review letters (!),
an article in
Scientific American (!). There are quite a few other sources that would need to be investigated, but there is plenty of secondary literature that amply meets even the most stringent sourcing policies and guidelines, to draw from here. The article should definitely make accurately representing the secondary literature on the subject more of a priority, but this is a topic for which there is an abundance of independent sourcing in good academic places with proper peer review on which to draw. AfD is not cleanup. (I am very busy IRL, but would gladly volunteer to help clean this up when I am less busy.)

Wikipedia:Notability (sports)#Teams suggests that NSPORT does not cover teams. I don't think it is a hoax, but rather I think the only reason to delete an article on a team that played in a national-level minor league might be that the article is a hoax. My thought is that non-local minor league teams usually get enough coverage in regional and national sources to meet NORG, even if the sources aren't immediately found.

We should probably try to reflect what is in the Italian article all in one article, assuming the various incantations of the team are notable enough to have an article and get rid of the "History of" portion. I do believe all three of these should be merged into just one article:
@
David Tornheim and
GiantSnowman: Between all 3 articles there is only one functional source, the others are 404 errors. That one source just says that the team was found guilty of something (doesn't mention what). Wikipedia is the primary source for 99.99% of the material in the articles, in the english internet at the very least. Without better sources I'm still in favor of a delete. But I consent to a 3 article merger, so at the very least 2 pieces of information are verified: the team existed (doesn't mention what their ranking was), they were punished for something.

(The question is will anyone be motivated enough to do all that work?) I do agree with you that the link to the foreign Wikipedia is helpful at this point and would probably be useful to reader, but it seems that existing consensus is negative towards machine-translations per

The sources cited are his obituary, a similar short piece on an anniversary of his death, and a couple duplicative passing mentions. There is also a book, but no indication that it covers him. It is used only to support the name change of a student group.
From these sources we learn that he was acting president of a student political group. On its own, that is not enough to pass
WP:POLITICIAN. We also learn that he was arrested for actively participating in the 1952 Language Movement, took part in the 1962 education movement, and fought for Bangladesh's independence during the Liberation War of 1971. Participating in those events would not be unusual for someone of his age at the time. There is very little detail about the form of his participation, other than that in one case he was at the forefront of a procession.
Mohiuddin Ahmed is a common name, which complicates searches. Several were active in the 1960s and 1970s, among them politicians, diplomats, military officers, and others, but I found nothing to connect them to this student leader. The article asserts that he joined the National Awami Party (NAP), but cites no source. If a source could be produced to show that this Mohiuddin Ahmed was important in a registered political party, I might be persuaded to change my recommendation.
I'm sympathetic to the fact that the peak of his career was in the pre-internet age, but there are enough newspaper databases and books online that I could find information about other Mohiuddin Ahmeds of the period, and about people who were definitely leading figures, but nothing about him until after his death, and nothing more than what the article cites. Searching by his "popularly known as" Bengali name returned no reliable sources. Does not meet
WP:BASIC. --

Weak keepWeak delete - the best I can do is say that Muhith 2008 says that a Mohiuddin Ahmed who was a leftist student leader went on a hungers trike with
Sheikh Mujib (a founding father of Bangladesh) while in jail in 1952, and the two became friends. I don't think it is a leap to say this is the same Mohiuddin as the subject of this article. The connection to Sheikh Mujib, I think, is evidence that this Mohiuddin is the same who is mentioned as a leader in the NAP in google books snippet results (see
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=bks&q=%28"Mohiuddin+Ahmad"+OR+"Mohiuddin+Ahmed"%29+"National+Awami+Party"). Coupled with the 12th anniversary of his death being memorialized (UNB story from 2012), I think this person makes a suitable inclusion in wikipedia.

Thanks for your efforts. Do you have the book you cited, or were you working from Google's snippet view? Be cautious about connecting Mohiuddin Ahmeds. A Mohiuddin Ahmed from Mathbaria, an Awami League leader, joined Mujib in Pirojpur in 1956.
[62] A Mohiuddin Ahmed, a member of Mujib's Awami League, was elected Member of Parliament in 1973 from constituency Pabna-5.
[63] A Mohiuddin Ahmed was a minister in Mujib's government after Mujib dissolved all political parties and formed BAKSAL.
[64] A Mohiuddin Ahmed, a Language Movement veteran and 1971 Liberation War organiser, died on 12 April 1997.
[65] And because of the nature of politics at the time, being a leftist student leader is not a good disambiguator.
I could have guessed, even if I hadn't noticed, that the creator of the page would likely have a personal connection with the subject of the page. I didn't notice just how many Mohiuddin Ahmed's there are, three in the list of members of Bangladesh's first parliament. Given that many Language Movement members were arrested and imprisoned at that time, and there are certainly a number of people with this name involved in Bangladeshi politics, I guess I can't be so sure that this Mohiuddin was the one whom Sheikh Mujib met in prison. I've removed that addition from the page and changed my !vote. Sometimes a page like this will be coupled with a facebook page or something like that that can have more information. A search of likely terms in English and Bengali (my Hindu is bad, my Bengali non-existant, but I can read a name with enough time/help) doesn't seem to find anything. Nor does using google's similar image search
[66]). Also, I didn't remember, but now do note that the celebration of the 12th anniversary of an individual's death is somewhat special, I think, so that announcement may be more passing than it seems. I would, of course, consider changing my !vote again.

User:Walter Görlitz The best approach to seeing whether she can support an article is for someone to expand and source the article, with the material you have found, but also with reviews and discussion of her work.

Article does not list or cite any context or notability outside of subject's appearance on two episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. In addition, the only pages that link to the article are: pages related to MST3k, a disambiguation page, two film list pages, an article on the production company's founder (where Hired! is discussed only in its context as an MST3k subject), and a few talk and user pages. A search on Google came up with nothing to fix this issue.

Redirect to

Its only claim to fame is that it was featured in MST3K, and all the sources that do mention it are purely in the context of that. As its already discussed in Jam Handy's main article, a redirect to that would be the perfect solution.

I have to say I generally think the position of strength and condition coach within the hierarchy of staff is more of a medium position. I have just looked through the
Big 12 Conference as sample group and found only 2 other strength coaches with articles,
Zac Woodfin who seems to have had significant achievements as college player and was pro for a while (pass I'd say), and
Jerry Schmidt, who does not seem to have been a player and is also tagged for questions of notability. Other than that I only noticed head coaches, assistant head coach or offense/defense coach. Unless someone takes the effort to create articles for the hundreds of second tier coach staff at all colleges, I don't see what stands out. In terms of mentioned sources, (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (12) and (13) are local media, (10) is the university's student paper where I'd question independence, (8) and (9) I'm unsure of the reach, but probably rather niche in the local market, (1), (7), (11) show some notability, but look more like of passing interest at the time. The article strikes me a lot like a resume.

The issue under WP:GNG is not whether ALL strength and conditioning coaches (see
Category:American strength and conditioning coaches) should have articles. The status of other such coaches falls under
WP:OSE. The only question here is whether Whitt has received significant coverage in multiple (i.e., more than one) reliable and independent sources. You concede that three of the cited sources are such coverage. Moreover, I disagree with your dismissing other sources as "local". The Dallas Morning News, for example, is a major regional outlet, has won nine
Pulitzer Prizes, and is the 12th
largest newspaper in the United States. Further, there is nothing in the GNG standards that disqualifies consideration of abundant and repeated significant coverage of Whitt in outlets like the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. IMO this is a clear and easy GNG pass.

PH is a good example, though. She has a "
USP" and sustained media coverage. She is a brand. Remember that 5-minute storm that hit global news a few weeks back about that "Swedish defence advisor" that Fox had on? I think Nils Bildt or something? Tons of google hits, including multiple pulitzer price winning papers from across the world, but his article got canned because it was seen as only of temporary, not sustained notability. I agree. I know
WP:OSE is a slippery slope and every article on it's own merits. But I do see the two in a similar vain from a notability perspective. Right now what I see are a few short term media blips that may potentially just about establish notability in an otherwise very resume / linkedin style article that seeks to establish a personal brand and dips its toes into
WP:Promo. IMHO I would - for now - look at it as
WP:BLP1E driven somewhat by notoriety from the head butting, until sustained notability is established.
Jake Brockman (

The reference to PH was actually a joke. In any event, Whitt clearly doesn't fall under WP:BLP1E as the coverage spans six years from 2012 to 2017, and the headbutting incident was in 2011. As for the "resume" style of the article, the solution is editing, not deletion. I did take a first crack at copy editing, but it still needs work.

Comment@
Mhhossein:, How do you feel about the article,
Birthplace of Ali ibn Abi Talib and the previous AfDs,
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Birthplace of Ali ibn Abi Talib and
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/People reported to be born in the Kaaba? It seems like there was a consensus in the previous AfDs that both article should not exist, but that it was unclear which one should. I agree, and tend to agree with @
Grenavitar:'s previous nomination of this article, "This article combines two subjects that need not be combined. It is much better to discuss the Hakim part in the Hakim article and the Ali part in the sub-article of Ali since his article is too long. If there were hundreds of people claimed to be born in the Kaaba it would be different... but there are not." That is, I agree that this article/title is a list that does not seem to be suitable for inclusion. The AfD of Birthplace of Ali ibn Abi Talib was nominated by @

Birthplace of Ali ibn Abi Talib either. However, the current one is nearer to deletion in my opinion. --

Delete. What a disaster of an article. As if someone is saying "look, here is what we think, this is what they think and here is a flood of evidence proving we are right and they are wrong." That is not neutral, simple as that. The state of sourcing is awful and, even worse, it looks like
WP:SYNTHESIS, as none present these births together. The other article is hardly any better, except maybe for its language; if the other one gets afd'ed, I'd probably vote delete too (or perhaps redirect due to the somewhat plausible title). --

Delete per

To be fair, that user was an incredibly helpful editor based on their edit history, and created many high-importance articles on religion, but there was also a strong tendency to publish is own research as Wikipedia articles. This is a prime example of that: a series of primary sources used to support an original point which the original author (pre-move) was trying to make.

Delete. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot show and properly source that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason before becoming a candidate, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to get a Wikipedia article for the election itself.

A unremarkable YouTube personality who is not independently notable of his YouTube channel (
JStuStudios). The article does not establish independent notability, and should be deleted. I've nominated the channel separately; pls see
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JStuStudios.
I am also nominating the following related page because both come across as being part of a walled garden around
JStuStudios. The two articles were created in the same timeframe as JStuStudios and by the same contributor. Both follow the same format and fail to demonstrate independent notability, hence I believe it's appropriate to bundle them:
Delete per nom. I searched for sources on both Scites and Stuart and didn't come up with much. Redirect to JStuStudios (if that is notable to stay - didn't check! might not) + mention there. Definitely TOOSOON.

This article fails to demonstrate the notability of the album "Face to Face". Wikipedia's notability section for recording specifies, "All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Unfortunately, the two references for this article are not independent. One references is the album's own website, and the other is a first-person blog page by the artist.

Seems to have been discontinued [1] before Phase II, no hits regarding human studies found on PubMed or Clinicaltrials.gov. No
WP:MEDRS sources found. No structure found on ChemSpider or PubChem, so it might meet
WP:A1.

It is still being used as an investigational compound[2][3][4] and is listed on the
Guide to Pharmacology database as the only example of a
CMKLR1 antagonist[5]. Given that there aren't alternative tools at present for targetting this receptor, it seems like a helpful tool. Perhaps it could be merged to the receptor it targets.

Hm. I suppose treating it as a pharmacology research tool instead of an investigational drug means it needn't be
WP:MEDRS compliant and needn't be notable as a drug; and your sources should be enough to establish general notability. Pity there isn't a structure available. --

The
Philly.com article also lacks any substantial information regarding Nero International, mentioning it in a single short paragraph which reads "One of the first big LARP groups formed in the United States is NERO LARP. Started in 1988 by Ford Ivey in Boston, Mass., NERO LARP is a medieval-fantasy group that currently has over 45 chapters, according to the group’s website."

Essay "TOOSOON"?! then when it's not too soon I may not be alive or have internet access again to write a new article for my favorite youtubers, I helped spread the word, laughter helps depression and stuff, btw quality in chosen over quantity and fyi I don't get paid. Your perspective is different than mine, I see the content and how they're important for the people who need and you see how much money he makes or he doesn't have enough subscribers.

Strong Keep I agree with
Mjbmr. This article subject has significant coverage in numerous reliable sources. A simple google search would suffice to show any non-biased person that this article subject passes
WP:GNG, and therefore the article should be retained in the encyclopedia.

Non-notable person. The only substantial coverage is
this about his ascent of Everest but that is in a
local newspaper. Other sources are brief mentions and searches did not find anything better. Off-wiki evidence confirms that this was created for pay.

Keep subject easily meets
WP:POLITICIAN as a former member of the Nigerian parliament, which can be verified in sources which cover him in depth such as
here or
here. He gets considerable coverage of his background
here and interviewed
here as part of his defection to another party. I easily found lots of similar sources confirming him as a candidate for the governship of his state, for example
this one.

I don't see why. I only see a single wordpress post there.
This, in
Vanguard, one of Nigeria's largest newspapers, is clearly covering him in detail, is not a blog and confirms that he's a member of the House of Representatives. He clearly does meet
WP:GNG: "A topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets either ... or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right." The guideline in question is people, under which there's
WP:POLITICIAN which includes "members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." In this case, membership of the national legislature of the world's seventh most populous country passes that very clearly.

Unfortunate mixture of distortion, fantasy and misunderstanding, with no reliable source. Crepon was not a surname of anyone named. Rather it was a place that was granted to the brother of the duchess of Normandy, and hence she has traditionally been called Gunnora de Crepon, meaning nothing more than "from Crepon" (even though she wasn't). Her grandnephew was only known as William son of Osborn (usually represented as Fitz Osbern, Fitz being the standard English rendering of the Norman-French fils = "son of", not "of" as is stated in the article), never Crepon. The names given the great-grandfather, grandfather and father of Gunnora, Roricon, Rainulf and Herbastus, are all completely made up, while the supposed grandmother, "Princess Gunnora of Denmark" is nothing but a confused rendering of Duchess Gunnora herself, who late fraudulent pedigrees claimed was daughter of a King of Denmark. The only sources are a bar chart showing the prevalence by country of people with the Crepon surname (cited only to claim that there are 93 people with the surname today), and a geni.com genealogy page for William Fitz Osbern that calls him Crepon based on someone else's personal genealogy web page. Neither is a
reliable source.
Basically, the only
verifiable, accurate material on the whole page is the biographical summaries of
William Fitz Osbern and
Gunnora, covered in more detail on their respective pages, and the genealogical descent of William from Gunnora's brother. Given we also have pages for the intervening generations,
Osbern the Steward and
Herfast de Crepon, there seems no need for any of it.
A time may come when we want a Crepon (surname) page that deals with modern people with the surname, but it would have to start from scratch as these people have no genealogical connection to the Norman barons who held the town. There also may come a time when we have a page on Gunnora's family, given that the
Robert of Torigny wrote about her siblings and nieces and there have been a half-dozen scholarly studies addressing them, but it would likewise need to be started from scratch based on this scholarship and be given a different name, so I see no benefit in retaining the current material for either of these possible future pages.

I don't believe this meets Wikipedia
notability criteria for biographies. She had relationships with some famous people and influenced a fictional character, but neither of those facts resulted in significant coverage in reliable sources (just brief mentions and "did you know"-type trivia). ...discospinstertalk02:12, 12 March 2017 (UTC)reply
