After some research, I have found no evidence of a Belgian rugby player named Jimmy Parker existing. I have also found no evidence of Belgium playing Tunisia or Combined Services XV from 1993-94. The lack of information about this person and the events described in the article leads me to believe that this article is a hoax. If it can be determined that this article is in fact a hoax it should be deleted. Jith12 ( talk) 16:00, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The result was delete. The argument that this should be discussed in context in Foreign relations of Russia is compelling; Wikipedia does not create WP:POVFORKs.  Sandstein  06:25, 20 September 2017 (UTC) reply

PROD removed without improvement. The topic is vague, too vague to be an encyclopedia article. The author argues that American exceptionalism is also vague. It isn't. It has been a concept developed over 150 years and extensively discussed in politics and in academia. The WP article has 107 references. By contrast, Russian aggression is still a a simple use of two words together, like fatherly pride, or fertile fields, neither of which deserve a WP article. Proposal of Russian aggression as an encyclopedic topic is either (a) original research, or (b) a POV problem. By Googling, I can find almost any two words in juxtaposition. That doesn't mean they are ready for an article. Some of the text could be moved to Media portrayal of the Ukrainian crisis. That would be appropriate. Rhadow ( talk) 18:26, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Per nom. The claim that this term is a media invention is also textbook POV pushing. Nick-D ( talk) 10:26, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, as evidenced by newspaper usage and academic articles Russian aggression is a legitimate topic with literature dedicated to discuss it. As for Rhadow concern that it is just a "two words in juxtaposition" there is thousands of such words already in Wikipedia, and there should be more. The other concern wich is about POV can be fixed because articles are dynamic and I have only added what is available on the topic both from Eastern and Western sources. The article does not take sides it just describes how it is used and what some analyst think on the term. Yes American exceptionalism has plenty of sources because it has been around here for 14 years, this is how it looked when it was created. Plus one should take into account the language barriers there exist to access more content on Russian aggression, contrary to the the case of Am. exceptionalism. Lappspira ( talk) 12:30, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Yes redirect and merger into these articles is an option. Second, nobody can deny there is an unique tradition of genuine distrust and/or propaganda towards Russia. A huge country, a military great power with an unprecedented history of expansion that bounds many weaker and smaller states. Russian forgeing policy can cover things like Latin America which is a totally different thing than this. To mix things up is not always better. Lappspira ( talk) 14:33, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Some of the refs are incorrectly used. For example, the Senate action doesn't actually say he was promoted (He probably was). The Order of Saint Maurice should have been Order of Saint Maurice (United States) (big difference) and the cited document is just a list without any explanation.

  • Delete His army service and medal, while contributing to his notability, do not meet SOLDIER by themselves. Sourcing is scant.

Is there any single source we can say that this was significantly plagiarised from? If so it can be speedily deleted without the need for further discussion. OTOH, if it was cobbled together from multiple sources without any one source being plagiarised enough to be a fatal copyvio then I guess we need to continue. -- DanielRigal ( talk) 12:11, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Not a single source. I looked, and already deleted several sections from different papers. I would have speedy-deleted it if there had been a more obvious source for the whole thing. Some sections may even be sufficiently paraphrased to survive. Then I gave up and decided it should be deleted anyway. Lithopsian ( talk) 17:30, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • If copyvio: Speedy delete.
    If not copyvio: Delete anyway. The subject title gets a whopping 4 hits in Google Scholar, which make me think that it is not a true scientific discipline at all, at least not under this name. The article itself is almost unreadable gibberish (I don't think that wikification would help much) and gives the impression of possibly having been pasted from somewhere else, although it is also perfectly possible that it is an original essay. Either way that is no good to us. This is pure supposition but I can't help wondering if this was written for submission to a journal (hence the ludicrous number of supposed references) and then pasted here after it got rejected for obvious reasons. The other possibility is that it is a joke. When I google for a nonsense phrase like "social sidecar personality" I get nothing but the fact that this has been previously deleted from Wikipedia. Maybe somebody is yanking our chain here? Anyway, it makes no difference. Either way it has to go. Maybe salt it as it has been previously deleted. -- DanielRigal ( talk) 12:25, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep This is not only "kid's book", it's a fairytale for children AND adults. The writer's book Ikävää, väki? has been two years the most popular in the category of linguistics at eKirjasto (library), and still is. It collects the statistics of all Finland's libraries. Another book, Naaraan, was 14 months the most popular in poems/aphorisms (2nd at the moment). Isn't this notable if the Finnish references are accepted? So you can imagine that Muru ja Puru has many levels. This book has been published last month, therefore I know it's too early to evaluate it's notability. No chartings are available yet.

Keyboard player for Little Barrie but no evidence of independent notability, apart from having "drummed for a period" with another band (of which there is no detail or proof). Unfortunately he died yesterday and has understandably had tributes published in various publications, but these consist entirely of lists of (Twitter etc.) messages of condolence. Not what I'd call significant independent coverage. Suggest charitably it is (re) re-directed to Little Barrie. Sionk ( talk) 17:28, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I created this page back in 2006. Various individuals then inputted into the article, but the main content was from me. It existed until Oct 2016 when Sionk re-directed it to Little Barrie for whom he drums (not keyboards, although he plays keys in other projects). I didn't say anything at the time: I think standards have evolved since 2006 and what I'd done then and his level of notability back then probably wouldn't be seen as adequate today. However, Howe's stock has risen since then. Howe's death was announced late last night. An IP editor reverted Sionk's re-direction edit and various people, but chiefly me, have been working on it since. The news of Howe's death has attracted articles in major UK newspapers (e.g. The Independent, Mirror, The Sun) and the music press (e.g. NME). I think that degree of coverage demonstrates notability. No, they're not all terribly detailed articles, but then the news hasn't been out long and his death was unexpected. Given the recency of his death, it seems slightly pointless to start an AfD now, if I might say so. Why not give it a few days and see (a) what the current flurry of editing produces, and (b) what else is published? Bondegezou ( talk) 17:54, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to Little Barrie as suggested. WP:BAND states "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases." The article does state that he produced one album, but unless it charted or had a national/international tour as the criteria state, it wouldn't merit him an article on his own(regretfully). 331dot ( talk) 18:58, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Aside from his work with Little Barrie, the output with Steve Howe and his session work should satisfy WP:BAND. Needs a few more references, but with those I think it stands up well enough.

  • Delete this and Willie Earl Green. My news archive searches on the murder found nothing. I'm not saying that there might not have bee a news story that I missed despite using a variety of keywords, only that there couldn't have been much. What did come up was a BLP1E-type flurry on Green's exoneration. The Los Angeles Times reported the story, Green always maintained he was innocent, kept his nose clean in prison, got an associate degree, worked in the prison library and married his penpal - all while in prison. He had been convicted based on the sole testimony of an eye-witness who was high on cocaine at the time of the murder; also police had falsely informed the witness that Green had previously been convicted of stealing from the murder victim. Judge therefore ruled that Green did not receive a fair trial. Sum total of coverage appears to have been two news stories in the Los Angeles Times, neither very long. Plus an AP story and a UPI story that got picked up by a number of newspapers. All in March 2008. It is a story that tugs at the heartstrings. But I am not persuaded that either the murder victim or the falsely assused man are notable. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 19:37, 30 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Poorly referenced WP:BLP of a writer, whose only discernible claim of notability per WP:NAUTHOR is that she exists. And for referencing, what we have here is two primary sources (her own website and her "our authors" profile on the website of her publisher) and one Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself. As always, a writer is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because she exists, and she doesn't get to talk herself into Wikipedia either -- she has to be the subject of enough coverage in reliable sources, written in the third person by people independent of her PR team, to clear WP:GNG. I'm also bundling her debut book, which doesn't have any properly sourced indication of notability either -- its sole source is the exact same Q&A interview that isn't cutting it in the BLP.

Carefully crafted paid article (per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#User:Shauryanegi) that fails a number of criteria. Churchix is a division of Face-Six LLC, and so fails WP:PRODUCT as it's parent company has questionable notability. Sourcing is a major issue, as while the article has many citations, most of them cover the field of facial recongition and make no mention of Churchix itself, and even those that due only mention it in passing or as part of a list.

Article contains unnecessary puffery and promotion of the subject.

  • Keep per 86.17.222.157's argument that it's the subject matter and not the article which determines notability - a salient policy point which I hope the AfD closer will take under advisement. There's absolutely no doubt that the article itself is in terrible condition, but the majority of the fictional universes included here have been written about fairly extensively, so I would think that the material - which at this point is almost totally unreferenced - is referencable. I'd suggest that the creator and major editors of the article be told that they have a set amount of time -- say a year -- to get the referencing up to snuff, and if it hasn't been done by that time, it can be brought back to AfD. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 01:48, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    I have seen no evidence yet that the subject (a list of fantasy works cross-referenced with the creatures therein) is a notable subject at all. Even the one reference the IP address mentioned above isn't about that, the book is about the evolution of an entirely different genre of creatures in literature. Just because a mere title sounds notable doesn't mean that it is. Just because you believe it's notable doesn't mean that it is. Come up with some evidence. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 02:55, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    Once again you seem to be agreeing with the creators of this article in defining the subject by its current content. The subject is defined by the title, and the book that I cited clearly has significant reliable coverage of types of fantastic beings in contemporary fiction. That is as long as "contemporary" is defined from the viewpoint of an old man like me rather that of many Wikipedia editors for whom 1999 is a lifetime away. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 19:31, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    Once again you don't seem to understand that article titles without any content cannot be kept on Wikipedia. The content is what matters here. If you replace the content completely with other content, that's no different from deleting the article and creating a new one. Once again you haven't offered a policy-based reason to keep this. (And by the way, 1999 feels like a very short time ago to me, to give you perspective on my age.) ~ Anachronist ( talk) 21:54, 19 September 2017 (UTC) reply

It could be used for navigation: "Lists that fulfill  recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability." ( WP:LISTN) I added Stargate with links to specific creatures.

I would say inclusion of a setting needs at least 3? columns/articles to link to in the table. Sources could be added to column or row headers or individual cells.

I'm still not seeing where the creatures are being compared across the various franchises and with a large-scale "does it have vampires? Werewolves? Fairies? Medusas?" kind of treatment. Yes, you can find sources that show a certain monster type is in the film but so what? The individual types of monsters are comparable like with the vampires, as there are books on vampire fiction, but not collections like this.

As a compromise position at a time when the notability of non-winning election candidates was still a matter of debate, consensus started to permit non-winning candidates to be given mini-bio subsections in merged lists. So I'll grant that all of these were good faith creations at the time. However, consensus has now deprecated that, so that lists of this type are now permitted only to follow the table format demonstrated by Liberal Party of Canada candidates, 2015 Canadian federal election: their names can be present in the table, but per WP:BIO1E we're not allowed to maintain an entire biographical mini-article about each individual candidate anymore. Non-winning candidates simply aren't a matter of enduring public interest for that fact itself — if they're not notable enough for a standalone article, then they shouldn't have the content equivalent of a standalone article embedded into a list either. None of these lists are even comprehensive — the closest to a complete list in the entire bunch is 2006, which includes just 13 candidates out of a possible 308. If there were actually any editorial will to get these cleaned up for comprehensiveness and the removal of the biographical sketches, then I'd happily leave them alone — but that cleanup simply isn't and hasn't been happening at all, so the ones that aren't conforming to the rules they have to conform to need to go.

  • Comment I've updated the 1940 article to the proper format (for one province), and I'll suggest that the nomination for that page should be withdrawn accordingly. I could add the other provinces and update the other pages as well (though not right away); given that the subject matter is considered encyclopedic, I'm wondering if it would make sense to simply move the pages out of the main article space until such time as they've been properly updated.

  • Keep All - Bearcat is completely misrepresenting BIO1E when they say we are "not allowed to maintain an entire biographical mini-article about each individual candidate anymore." That is nowhere in the guideline, nor should it be — I would advocate IAR to trump any such nonsense even if that were in the guidelines, which it is not. The rest of the nomination is purely an editing matter. Carrite ( talk) 18:04, 26 August 2017 (UTC) reply
I am not misrepresenting anything whatsoever. The rule for candidates most certainly is that if they do not qualify for a standalone article, then we are not allowed to simply paste the same depth of content about them into another article and keep it just because that other article is titled as a list instead of a standalone bio. BIO1E and BLP1E apply to all articles which contain information about people, not just to standalone biographical articles titled with an individual person's name — lists of people are still subject to the exact same content policies that govern what we can or cannot say about a person in any other article that might contain biographical information. And as for cleaning them up being an editing matter, the issue has been lingering for years without anybody taking on the task of doing anything about it — there is a point beyond which "could be cleaned up" ceases to be a compelling rationale anymore for keeping content that isn't getting cleaned up. And I suppose YMMV, but at least to me seven years of nobody actually caring about cleaning these up does fall on the blow it up and start over side of that line. Bearcat ( talk) 18:01, 27 August 2017 (UTC) reply
1E doesn't have to specifically mention "mini-articles" to be applicable — it deprecates maintaining any extended biographical content at all about 1E's beyond mentioning their name where it's contextually relevant to do so, and doesn't have to individually readdress every possible form that such deprecated content might be presented in.

  • Keep Notability policies only apply to articles, not sections within articles. In fact, it is entirely appropriate and in many cases recommended to merge such non-notable topics into sections within a larger, notable article. And in any case, AFD is not cleanup, and if the topic is notable, which nobody has explained why it isn't and even Bearcat implied that it is by citing, and not nominating, an article that is in the so-called "proper" format, then it should be kept and cleaned up. Smartyllama ( talk) 19:34, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Again, this has been over seven years of not getting cleaned up, and there has to be a deadline beyond which if an article still hasn't been cleaned up it doesn't get to sit around anymore continuing to wait for cleanup that isn't happening. And secondly, notability policies do apply to sections within articles; for example, a "list of people from city" is not allowed to contain non-notable entries at all, and articles are not allowed to contain extended biographical sketches of people who are named in them but don't qualify for standalone BLPs.

  • Keep The notability guidelines relate solely to what topics are suitable for an entire article and have nothing to say about what information may, or may not, be included as part of a broader article. Thincat ( talk) 19:33, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Our notability standards most bloody certainly do govern what can or cannot be included as part of a broader article. BLP1E/BIO1E, for instance, do not just apply to standalone biographies, but govern how much we are or are not allowed to say about an individual who falls under it in any article: an article about an event is not allowed to contain BLP1E-related biographies of individual participants in it; an article about a company is not allowed to maintain biographical sketches of individual people who work at that company, and on and so forth. Our standards for the notability of individual people pertain to all articles, and not only to standalone biographies titled with a person's own name. Bearcat ( talk) 21:13, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply
That is, I think, mistaken. WP:BLP policy certainly applies everywhere but you cited WP:BIO1E which is part of the notability guidelines. WP:N says (nutshell) " The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article." The first paragraph says "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article." It also says "although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles." so this is a matter for talk page consensus, not deletion. WP:BIO1E is part of WP:Notability (people) which in general refers back to WP:N. Here, I accept, the nutshell says "Notability criteria may need to be met for a person to be included in a standalone list article." (italics added). WP:Stand-alone lists is referred to which simply suggests what might be done "typically". BLP apart, all this is guidance and people should read and understand it as best they can and then form a considered opinion. Such matters are decided by consensus and people are not to have their !votes rejected if they do not !vote in a particular way. The hard rules you refer to do not exist. People are allowed (but are not required) to adopt strict rules for notability though the guidelines suggest not to do this. If there are BLP matters that is another matter entirely and potentially contentious material must be referenced or removed. Thincat ( talk) 16:57, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Sure, there is no rule that we can't maintain a list of the candidates — there is a legitimate question as to whether such lists are necessary if they simply reduplicate information already present in the election's basic results tables, but that's a separate matter from this. But the rules do dictate that the list cannot contain extended biographies of any individual candidate who doesn't qualify to have a full standalone biography located at his or her own name — if a person does not qualify for a full standalone biography located at their own name, then keeping the exact same content about them, just because the article's title isn't their name, is not an alternative path to retention.

  • Keep - This individual has be the subject of multiple instances of substantial, independently published coverage in sources of presumed reliability and therefore passes the General Notability Guideline. See the footnotes for those, no need to search for more on the web. Allegations of BLP-1E are misplaced; this exception to GNG is for something exceptional not actually dealing with an achievement or meaningful activity of the subject — such as, for example, winning the lottery or appearing on a live television show and farting loudly. Such single incidents generate masses of news coverage which are to be disregarded; as opposed to someone who is known for one thing, such as being an expert on the reproduction of mako sharks or being the inventor of the traffic light or — yes — being the creator of historically rewritten song videos. This is something completely different. Note the word EVENT in "BLP-1E." Carrite ( talk) 15:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The apparent SPA edting here is still bothersome. Additionally, their arguments are not based on WP:MUSICBIO, which lists several notability criteria for music.

  • Keep  Google can be used for searches other than the name of the topic.  For example ["Kelly Richey" Arista], shows that Kelly Richey "started touring in 1986 with a band on Arista records called Stealin' Horses".  The problem as stated for Arista can be fixed with editing.  The deletes also correctly note that the article contains some material that does not have inline citations and appears to not be verifiable.  Again, the problem as stated can be fixed with editing.  As per WP:Editing policy, fixable problems are not reasons for deletion.  Unscintillating ( talk) 23:26, 30 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Ifyouwill Unscintillating Ojorojo Finngall 12.38.238.66 I called Jim O'Neal from Living Blues Magazine and asked them to search for any “Reviews" or “Short Take’s" for Kelly Richey. I received a return phone call from Melanie of LBM Oxford MS. Nothing was found in their Data Base on Kelly Richey or Kelly Ritchie. As I suspected, a quality magazine with their high standards has never reviewed Kelly Richey. Also have had a response from Peter Edge office of Sony Music that acquired RCA that Acquired Arista and no Artist in their data base was budgeted or promoted named Kelly Richey. The subject in question is self-produced, self-titled amateur music production, self-published for a self-named label WP:MUSICBIO.

  • Weak keep: Wow, 174.97.1.181, you really, really, really want to delete this page! Regardless of your efforts, your persuasiveness is weakened by editing from an IP address rather than a proper profile. So is your mostly SPA edit history. They raise red flags among veteran editors and administrators who will likely question your motives and investigate you for sock-puppetry. That aside, there is indeed a lot of self-promotional verbiage here, mostly from the subjects own website. Yes, the sort of puffery you are exposing is a re-occurring problem on wikipedia. Claims of being with a major label with only the slightest, tangential connection is classic resume padding. (The type I notice most often is the insistence a non-notable subsidiary of a major label is the same as being on a major label, but I digress.)
Allmusic profiles are especially bothersome. Once upon a time an Allmusic listing meant something, acknowledging recording artists with worthy track records. Ever since the company was acquired by the Rovi database in 2011 it has become a collecting ground of information on simply anything in their database that is for sale—in essence providing profiles for something that proves existence only. (and I don’t think anyone will argue this artist doesn’t exist.) Nonetheless, a profile there is still held up as a gold standard source among AfD editors who don’t bother to dig deeper. Having said all that, there is the undeniable matter of this subject’s somewhat extensive coverage in local (i.e. Cincinnati region) media. These indeed add up to likely notability. I’m voting weak keep, however, because these are nearly all dead links, making my efforts to verify them impossible. My independent search finds interviews and promo-ish type content, or—such as the Guitar Player reference—something trivial in nature but half-notable for the mere recognition by such an authoritative source. The subject’s own website touts additional coverage not cited in this article. Reviews of her work are in abundance among smaller, niche sources. Bottom line: this is truly a borderline ivote, My experience of investigating many AfD nominations suggest this is someone at the very lowest possible level of notability on a common sense level, but squeaks through per wikipedia’s more broadly defined criteria. ShelbyMarion ( talk) 14:11, 2 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Hi ShelbyMarion, Thank You, really, really, really are redundant intensifiers even with the italic on the third. WoW, As to my non-participating in wiki because could be it is new to me. Can a nobody from the sideline point out the truth? As for motive “If everybody Lies the truth becomes unimportant". Motive frankly, It’s as I said. “TRUTH". I don’t care if I have a 10Million edit account because this is about truth and nothing but the truth. This is a "Biography of a Living Person" that I am certain Could Uses it as a promotional tool. Like you said Allmusic is not really screening their source, so it’s kinda pay to play (P2P), yet I have inquired. Allmusic is the only generator of the Major Record Label fallacy. You Know, I have been burnt and have seen "Used Car Salesmen" and "Real Estate Agents” that should be jailed for this type of misrepresentation. Ojorojo states, "just add one of her many reviews from Living Blues". So, I knew how to reach them and I went to the mountain and you know what I found? Never Happened. ShelbyMarion, would you like me to Contact Guitar Player Magazine to see if they have ever reviewed Kelly Richey? They may have because it’s not the same kinda rag as LBM. (P2P) As of now, I can’t find anything to link her to GPM other than her website. So, I won’t change my thought’s along these lines after I did this exercise in police research. I have discovered that good school’s won’t let their students use wiki as a reference, but I digress. Using wiki to spread lies is not a crime that I am aware of. If you want to buy a used car or an old house, I’m who you want with you! "research and results” all I attempted to do is debunk or discredit the first line in the Bio. I believe I accomplished that and more. "To whom know’s the truth or not, no one can not make another acknowledge it." Me, Myself and I * 174.97.1.181 ( talk) 22:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC) reply
The IPs attempt to mischaracterize my comments just further underscores the problems with their arguments here. I wrote "She has a AllMusic bio, which also has four album reviews, and is mentioned in blues journals like Living Blues, Blues Review, etc. (these refs could be added)" (my emphasis). I did not "state" or imply "just add one of her many reviews from Living Blues". She is mentioned in connection to a song in Living Blues (p. 57), [21] album reviews in Blues Review, [22] [23], Modern Drummer [24], and Big City Blues Magazine. [25] I am not saying that this plus AllMusic, etc., adds up to satisfying MUSICBIO #1, but I am not reading any credible arguments that they don't. Of course, we could all just settle for THE TRUTH as expounded by three SPAs who just happened to show up on the same AfD for an article that has had only a few maintenance edits in the last five years. — Ojorojo ( talk) 23:06, 2 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • I haven’t mischaracterized your comments Ojorojo. What you have shown could be proper inline reference. Kelly Richey’s with the ('s) is my guess why LBM couldn’t find it. It’s not a review or a short take and that’s what I had them search. She’s still not associated with a Major Record Label as the page states. So that is a fallacy. Whoever wrote the bios on Allmusic/Wiki said she is associated with a major label. Please would you hunt for evidence of that? Even Kiya Heartwood that landed that record deal doesn’t associate herself with Arista Records. I can not find evidence of Kelly Richey ever playing with Stealin Horses. Stealin’ Horses Bios on Allmusic Mention Kelly Richie a couple of times yet, Stealin” Horses has a few Guitar Players that are "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” inductees that aren’t mentioned in it. Doesn’t that seem curious to you? And Allmusic bios are the only place. 174.97.1.181 ( talk) 00:32, 3 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • more, I see you went on an editing spree adding pages to support weak content from who knows who. Lots a work for an impartial editor!
  • This is a Biography of a Living Person. Does anybody think it should be notable without using substandard interviews? The new thing that replaced the other is really weak. Here is an interview from who knows who about someone stating something in the interview that can not be verified. What we have here: Lacks support, has no integrity.
  • If she worked in Nashville and “Joined" the Major Record Label band and toured a year as she said, I would think there should be a Contract with the Musicians Union. Local 257
  • Think about this Example: Dave Matthews of the Dave Mathews Band also "Sat-In" with the performers that came trough the club where he was a bartender in Virginia circa 1986. 15 years later after selling millions upon millions of records he could sell out practically every venue on the planet. I'd consider that worthy of a wikipage. Example: Bill Bartlett among other things did "Black Betty" another artist sold millions of records and his wiki page was taken down.

What exactly are you trying to say? Are you suggesting that Richey was never a member of Stealin Horses? If so, how do you explain this publicity photo, with their names under their pictures no less? As for the link that doesn't work for you (but works for me), here's a quote:

To say that Richey has bonded with her guitar is an understatement. “I’ve had this Strat for more than 20 years,” she laughs. “It has been the one constant in my life, and it never leaves my side. It’s a magical instrument-my friends say I’ll be buried with it. It has a ‘65 neck and a ‘63 body, but there’s nothing original except the wood and the knobs. When I was young and stupid, I got rid of the pickups because I wanted the ones that didn’t buzz. I even cut a big hole in the body and installed a Kahler whamm!! Now I have a traditional trem pulled flush to the body with four springs, so I really have to push on the bar to make it work. The neck has big frets-which I love-and the pickguard is wired with Duncan Classic Stack pickups and new pots. I use S.I.T. Strings-gauged .010-.046- which I change every night because I play so hard. And, thanks to Joe Walsh, I use a .60mm nylon Dunlop pick. He showed me how to get more traction on each note by using the fat, textured end of these picks instead of their points. I’m not a strong fingerpicker, but I use my middle and ring fingers in conjunction with my pick all the time. When the music gets quiet, and I want to pull more out of each note, I’ll put the pick between my middle and index fingers and play lead with my fingertips.” Robman94 ( talk) 23:45, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

I am curious how an un-dated photo proves that, but no matter, if your point is that she didn't record for Arista, I have no argument and I took the mention of Arista out of the article a while ago. If you want to know what really happened, read this article. But, none of that explains your delete !vote and the level of effort that you are putting forward to get this article deleted, so why don't you come clean and be honest about what you're real gripe with her is?

This fictitious sport is a minor plot element within a TV sitcom. It has no notability outside the show, and TBH very little even within it, being essentially mentioned only in passing. I originally redirected it as part of a drive to trim an excessive amount of Green Wing-related content (I hesitate to say cruft) which had existed since 2006, but another user reverted the move, pointing out that this particular article is a GA (something I have to confess I hadn't noticed, and TBH I'm really surprised it was ever made one given that it is sourced almost entirely to primary sources and demonstrates no real world notability) and saying it should be brought to AfD instead. So here it is...... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 20:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply

No objection obviously against a redirect if a suitable target is created. Fram ( talk) 11:38, 20 September 2017 (UTC) reply

PROD was removed.

Despite meeting WP:NCRIC, Mr. Cranston does not meet WP:GNG - I have been unable to locate sufficient in-depth sources that discuss him as a person. Per the FAQ on NSPORTS, passing the sport-specific notability guidelines is not a substitute for the GNG. ♠ PMC(talk) 11:43, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy Keep as per WP:CRIN. We were having a considerable amount of debate a while back and we realized that the two notability guideline pages completely contradict each other, and such is the problem in this case. This is not a problem with WP:CRIN but with the policy makers.
In any case, the individual passes WP:CRIN and is therefore entitled to an article. If you delete this article, you might as well delete willy-nilly every single article of every single sportsman who has achieved a single top-level appearance. Bobo . 11:51, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply
For what it's worth, I would be 100% on board with that, assuming that those people did not otherwise meet GNG. We are not intended to be an indiscriminate collection of stubs. There have been tens of thousands of cricket players throughout history. It is ridiculous to think that merely appearing in one top-level game confers to each of them an encyclopedic level of notability. If the only reference we have for someone (or something! this opinion is not limited to cricketers) is a single reference to a statistical database, we don't have enough information to support an article. ♠ PMC(talk) 13:42, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I'm female, thanks, and that wasn't vandalism, it was a good-faith attempt to create an article that satisfied our standards in 2003. It was rightfully deleted in 2006 because we tightened our notability criteria. The point I was actually attempting to make was about changing notability criteria. I appreciate your mud-slinging though, don't think I've ever been accused of vandalism before. ♠ PMC(talk) 21:32, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete – I've expanded the article a little bit, and there are a few other news reports, but they are all merely trivial coverage. It's pretty clear to me that this guy showed a little bit of promise in his teens, and Herts gave him a go for a few games. That he played a List A match (the first round of the C&G Trophy) is pretty inconsequential, it was clearly not at the top-level. His club cricket has been relatively ordinary; he doesn't even play in the highest division, and yet he isn't setting the world alight. I know tons of people around this level – they simply aren't notable, List A or no List A. Harrias talk 19:12, 5 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - Please forgive me as my current level of activity on WP is limited by outside circumstances. "Gave him a go for a few games" is not the issue. The issue is about judging the inclusion of an article based on existing criteria. If people are unwilling to do that, then may I suggest they suggest new, and consistent, criteria, by which to judge an article about a first-class cricketer? When an issue such as this comes up, there is always a lot of "I don't like it", but very little discussion about how to fix things. Suggestions please as to how these criteria should be changed. Bobo . 07:10, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    My opinion is based on our guidelines, without any element of "I don't like it" at all. WP:NSPORTS and it's subpages, such as WP:CRIN are designed to establish whether a player "is likely to meet the general notability guideline" (my emphasis). WP:N, often cited as disagreeing with this, actually states that "This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article. These guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article or list. They do not limit the content of an article or list." In this case, Cranston is already included as a subject of List of Herefordshire County Cricket Club List A players. WP:CRIN and WP:NSPORTS suggest that he might be notable enough for his own article, but in the face of the evidence provided by the sources, I suggest that he is not, as laid out above. I have no issue at all with where we set the bar in WP:CRIN: I think that one first-class, List A or Twenty20 match is a fair line to suggest that a player might be notable, but it is a guide, nothing more than that. Harrias talk 08:47, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment - it shouldn't be hard to verify that a modern player meets WP:GNG. If it's proven they don't meet WP:GNG, the article should be deleted. Hack ( talk) 04:36, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment - but this is precisely where the confusion lies and where we need to sort out before randomly sending articles we dislike to AfD just for banter purposes. The last time an article which met WP:CRIC was sent for deletion, we pointed out (I forget by whom and where) that the two main sources of decisions about what to do when an article clearly meets guidelines, completely contradict each other.
However, I stand by my previous comment. The fact that we're accepting the judgment of a Wikipedia vandal in what should and shouldn't be allowed on the site is... suspicious, to say the least. Bobo . 04:49, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply

@ Bobo192:, Premeditated Chaos created a page, which at the time she felt met the notability requirements. It's worth mentioning that back in 2003, there basically weren't anything like the structured notability criteria we have now. This is how the Notability page itself looked in 2005. In her time on Wikipedia, Premeditated Chaos has had only one of her mainspace created pages deleted; you have had seven mainspace pages deleted; from this, do we draw that you are seven times as much of a vandal? Or rather, than you have both been working to create an encyclopaedia, and a couple of times created articles that were later found not to be suitable? Based on the fact that it is clearly the latter, please retract your personal attack. Harrias talk 07:09, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Not exactly. In fact, I have had more than seven of my articles deleted, but I'm interested in which seven you are referring to. Some of them were Scottish footballers for Alloa Athletic, prior to my being aware that only the top two Scottish leagues were considered notable enough for the site. Admittedly I forget why I added Abbas Jawad - perhaps he was in a squad list or similar and I added every name from that squad list without checking their prior history? Not sure. Once again, I accept that this was deleted. I suspect the same was true of Shameel Kazmi... Ryan Watkins was mis-redirected at some point, the subject was changed, and the article was deleted on those grounds. Joachim Alda and Franz Alexius was part of a project of mine to translate as many missing articles from de.wiki as possible - I must have overlooked their individual notability as per en.wiki guidelines. Hold my hands up to that one. Adrian Pelka I had no idea about to be honest. Again, I had listed a group of footballers from de.wiki and was in a process of translating. Nine further Scottish footballers as I was once again unaware that the notability requirements differed from those of English football... nine Belgian cricketers as I was once again finishing a list from what was, at the time, the second column on CA. One cricket article which was accidentally mistyped, redirected and then deleted as an RfD, one further Scottish footballer, and one cricketer who once again was a redlink in a list that I was filling in and which I now know does not fit WP:CRIC.
In other words, 99 percent of what I was doing was misplaced completionism! Which, apparently, is the problem here..! Bobo . 10:10, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
At some point we will have to go through articles such as 2003 Youth Asia Cup and remove redlinks of cricketers who don't meet WP:CRIC requirements. That would clean up the possibility of this happening in the future. Bobo . 10:25, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
And while you're here, why don't you explain what you mean by given as I don't remove material from my talk page...?

Nope. I said nothing of the sort. You created an article which to me looks like a bona fide CSD G1. Something bored schoolchildren do as a laugh when they think their teacher's back is turned in ICT lessons. Bobo . 10:18, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
It's a pretty simple proposition. He's either been the subject of significant coverage in reliable or he hasn't. The cricket notability guideline is used as a guide to gauge whether a player has received such coverage. The nominator is making the case that Cranston fails the general notability guideline. Hack ( talk) 06:31, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
As for whether he fails GNG, this is precisely the point I've been making. We have discussed, on AfDs such as this, contradictory information about whether an article which already meets individual project notability criteria needs to meet GNG or not. This is where the confusion lies. Which, to me, completely invalidates GNG. Bright-line notability requirements are the only way to achieve true NPOV. Bobo . 10:18, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - it seems odd to me that no matter how many times we come upon cricket articles which are acceptable for Wikipedia, not a single time have we ever changed our perspective on what does, and doesn't, qualify a first-class or List A cricketer for inclusion.

  • Comment - please forgive so many comments in a single line. Just providing questions for participants to answer while I'm still within reach of a computer. I don't see where the conflict is here with GNG. :"Significant", yep. The biggest online cricket database on the Internet. "Reliable", yep. We've proven this many times that CA and CI are independently run organizations which compile stats (which don't always agree with each other), which proves that one doesn't simply rely on the other for "stealing" stats. "Sources". Yep. No explanation. "Independent of the subject". No explanation needed.
The question about whether the word "sources" (plural) is the issue has been touched upon before, and as I've said already, this is easily rectifiable. Bobo . 06:10, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - fails WP:GNG, no evidence article subject has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. The reliable sources provided prove that the subject passes, narrowly, the requirements of WP:NSPORTS however this is not significant coverage per WP:SPORTSBASIC, being made up of Routine game coverage. Subject-specific notability guidelines are designed to provide a guide as to whether a subject might pass WP:GNG. This is useful for older topics when access to reliable sources may not have been readily available however this is a modern sportsman whose career is currently underway. The fact that significant coverage can not be found for a contemporary sportsman suggests that the subject is not notable. Hack ( talk) 16:54, 7 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment - an as-yet unquoted guideline: "A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor and so is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." ( WP:SPORTSPERSON, my emphasis). Perhaps this is the source I intended to mention when I said that there was contradictory information as to whether sportspeople automatically bypassed GNG... Courtesy ping to @ Premeditated Chaos:, @ Harrias:, @ Hack:. My fault for not seeking this out before. My personal belief is that this contradictory information completely invalidates WP:GNG and WP:SPORTSPERSON equally. My on-wiki time is currently limited by outside forces. Bobo . 03:03, 8 September 2017 (UTC) reply
    • I see absolutely no contradiction. Indeed, if we were talking about a cricketer from the 1960s or 1890s, I would be fully behind WP:CRIN based upon this. However, this is a player from the 2000s, during the internet age. We have no need to presume anything. If there was going to be significant coverage, we should be able to see it. Indeed, we can see enough information to build up a decent profile of the player. I have included in the article all that I have been able to find, and made further conclusions above. When we had no other information, we could look and think it was likely that there was "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". However, we have now looked and discovered that there isn't. Harrias talk 06:51, 8 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Personally, I see the word "presumed" as the biggest weasel word in this entire conversation, as it is based on nothing more or less than personal opinion. Which, thankfully, isn't the fault of either one of us, because it is present in an (incredibly woolly and, as we are gradually learning, practically inapplicable) guideline. Saying that you apply different standards to a player of the 1960s-80s to one of the 2000s is, in itself, admitting time-bias - which, we both have to admit, is going to happen with every single player before the introduction of the Internet age. Surely, in this case, we are questioning the wrong player from the wrong era. Bobo . 08:03, 8 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Redirect to 2002_Cheltenham_&_Gloucester_Trophy#First_round. He was part of notable event with any doubt but scoring only 18 runs in your only List A match is not enough to be part of multiple non-trivial coverage. Similarly, we don't create article on everyone who was part of the cast of a notable film. Instead, we have article when he/she has done major role in multiple films. Secondly, we don't have article for individual who was part of notable event like terrorist attacks. Instead, we redirect them to the event for which they were notable. I suggest we should do this for modern cricketers. Redirecting and adding categories to the entry will be better than deleting because afterall he passes WP:CRIN.

  • Comment @ Premeditated Chaos:, @ Bobo192:, @ Hack:, @ Pharaoh of the Wizards:, @ Harrias:, @ Reyk: I'm against deletion of any cricketer bio which passes WP:CRIN. Redirecting to better target for such cases will be better for the project. We will keep his name in the list such as List of Herefordshire County Cricket Club List A players which he deserves rather deletion altogether. I think this could be good starting point to sort out notability related issues of modern cricketer. Calling for deletion will not solve issues mentioned. We generally redirect Playboy Playmates to the list for which they are notable. For example, Michelle McLaughlin is redirected to List of Playboy Playmates of 2008. They all are one line biographies. So, doing something like that will be useful for the project. I hope other who voted delete will understand the problem. Any good suggestion will be welcomed.

    • As I've said, I'm in favour of presenting information like this in a suitable list. When an article on a (presumably) living person contains only statistical, rather than biographical, information it generally fails WP:GNG and so it is best to present it in statistical form alongside other similar statistics. Inflating raw stats into prose often tempts the writer to add more than is actually in the source. Reyk YO! 13:15, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply

There was no need to say it, and certainly no need to ping anyone about it.

  • Delete as failing WP:GNG. Meeting NSPORT is not an alternative to meeting GNG; it merely means there's a good reason to think that an athlete does meet GNG when sources not in the article (or not easily available online) are taken into consideration. In this case, even the keep voters haven't argued that this presumption is actually right in this specific case.
    The GNG-NSPORT relationship has been discussed ad nauseam, including quite recently in this very long VPP discussion where the consensus on this was affirmed:
The first theme developed a strong consensus that the GNG is the controlling guideline, while the criteria at NSPORT are useful tools to try to quickly determine the likelihood of an article meeting the GNG. [...]
There is clear consensus that no subject-specific notability guideline, including Notability (sports) is a replacement for or supercedes the General Notability Guideline. Arguments must be more refined than simply citing compliance with a subguideline of WP:NSPORTS in the context of an Articles for Deletion discussion.
As noted by the nominator, this is even in WP:NSPORT's own FAQ:
Q2: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline?
A2: No, the subject must still eventually meet the general notability guideline.

  • Weak Redirect – I was evaluating this discussion in a closing/relisting role, when I realised that discussion is probably too controversial for even a non-admin relisting, let alone a full NAC. I also realised that I was opinionated on the discussion. For most of my reading of the discussion I was swinging towards 'keep'—which is my starting viewpoint for all AfDs (except my nominations)—due to the vast number of policies cited by Bobo192 which state that the general notability guideline does not have to be met for WP:NSPORTS to apply in practice. In general I lean towards that argument, because—as stated above by L3X1—GNG is just too general for specific areas of content. But that's not policy.
However, reading later on in the discussion, I saw Sideways713's argument above that pointed to this heavily participated village pump discussion. When it was happening I had noticed it was there, but didn't seem to be around for the closure. As it is the single most recent consensus on the notability of sport bios, I feel obliged to go with the result of the discussion: NSPORTS does not supersede GNG. This really does need to be reflected on sport guideline pages, though, as this can seriously mislead people. The 'weak' is rather because that closure has not been linked or obeyed much, and is not in common use. The redirect should happen as per WP:ATD-R.

Because due to the Islamic zealotry it was a controversial to mention a reliable hilarious Hadith in the main article so I presented it in a separate article to stay moderated just like the Quran and Criticism of Quran or Jesus but the official Shiite sources below are defending the Hadith and they are not rejecting it. Now I called the Hadith as the background of the name of the Dragon gate in the main article. -- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 15:36, 15 September 2017 (UTC) reply

@ IranianNationalist: The official website for the mosque is not independent to establish notability, and ISNA is just a trivia, mentioning then name. This article is a coatrack and content fork and should be deleted. Pahlevun ( talk) 09:06, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Notability doesn't mean any one (in the world) knows that thing. For example how many people know The Book of Law ? But it is a fact some thing clearly exists. The Dragon Gate (باب الثعبان) is something clearly exists and has a clear background and you just censoring the background... from the wiki articles.

@ Diannaa: Hi Diannaa, Can you help or ping some one here to present a 3rd opinion? Thanks.
I think Pahlevun is censoring the official website of the Kufa mosque here :
@Pahlevun : Again, the official website of the mosque is not a Primary source. Notability doesn't mean any one (in the world) knows that thing. For example how many people know The Book of Law ? But it is a fact that the film clearly exists. The Dragon Gate (باب الثعبان) is something clearly exists and has a clear background and you are censoring the background from the wiki articles(@Pahlevun).-- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 20:10, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply
One clear sign of censorship is the Hadith itself in the Arabic-lang from the mosque website which is still in the article nominated for merging the content. "أمير المؤمنين الأمام علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) يخطب على منبره في مسجد الكوفة , إذ ظهر ثعبان من جانب المنبر وجعل يجر ويرقى حتى دنا من أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) , فارتاع الناس من ذلك وهمّوا أن يدفعوه عن الإمام (عليه السلام), فقام الثعبان ثم انحنى الإمام على الثعبان حتى التقم الثعبان إذنه , فتحيّّر الناس من ذلك , وهو يحدثه فسمع من كان قريبا كلام الثعبان ثم زال عن مكانه , وأمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) جعل يحرّك شفتيه , والثعبان كالمصغي إليه , ثم سار الثعبان وخرج , وعاد أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) إلى خطبته وأتمها , فلما فرغ نزل من المنبر فاجتمع إليه الناس يسألونه عن حال الثعبان والأعجوبة فيه, فقال( عليه السلام) : ليس ذلك كما ظننتم , وإنما كان ذلك حاكما على الجن!! ,فالتبست عليه قضية وصعبت , فجاء ليستفهمها فاهمته إياها , فدعا لي بالخير وانصرف." But Pahlevun censors the English translation of the Hadith. -- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 20:16, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply
@ HyperGaruda: Hi, HyperGaruda you had a translation edit in the article and you are familiar to Arabic language please check whether the Hadith translation is same as the Hadith in the Mosque website source? -- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 20:22, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Some photos of the doorway + translation prove

Also the Official website is the secondary source and is referring to the Hadith of the Bihar al-Anwar EXACTLY (@Anyone : CAN'T YOU READ ARABIC? SEEK YOUR SELF THIS WAY) : Bihar al-Anwar (Bihār al-Anwār (Arabic: بحار الأنوار‎‎, meaning "Seas of Lights")) In the official website of the mosque :

-- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 21:27, 13 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I do have to say that the English translation in the article is not the same as the original Arabic narration. For example, it says nowhere that the serpent/dragon kissed Ali's feet nor is anyone called Jaber ibn Sami' mentioned there. -- HyperGaruda ( talk) 05:23, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply

""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent." So the official website of something is not enough to establish notability. Slatersteven ( talk) 09:49, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Pahlevun is arguing that : "@IranianNationalist This is very interesting that when you wrote یه کم بخندیم :D به این منابع معتبر, you have confessed that the source is not reliable. Wikipedia is not your laughingstock."

I replied him differently that I laugh to many different things :D but I have another response for him here : Al-Masih ad-Dajjal current permalink

   Ali was reported to have said: His right eye will be punctured, and his left eye would be raised to his forehead and will be sparkling like a star. Only the believers will be able to read the word "Kafir" [disbeliever], inscribed in bold letters, on his forehead. There will be big mountains of smoke at both front and backsides of his caravan. People will anticipate food within those mountains, during the severe famine. All rivers, falling in his way, will become dry and he will call upon people in a loud voice, "O my friends come to me! I am your lord who has made your limbs and given you sustenance."[5]

If these Hadithes seem ridiculous to you (or me as I laugh) and you want to say these are false Hadithes it doesn't mean to censor them from Wikipedia because these Hadithes have a COMPLETELY HISTORIC BACKGROUND absolutely same as the myth of God or the Moses legend of the opening a way through the river if you don't believe it doesn't rationalize to censor these stories from wiki <----@ Pahlevun: :)

@ Slatersteven: Where is Qum? You are talking about the article title but the discussion is about the WP:PRIMARY and content censorship in these diffs :

I want to add a note, this user Pahlevun has a Persian name means "Hero" and this user has made no deletion polling in the Persian article. You probably ask yourself why? Because in Persian Wiki many people can read Persian and Arabic sources of this article and search for more online sources. Is it necessary for me to talk about censorship more? Is Wiki an Encyclopedia? Or a political war place? May be wonderful for the staffs in the Jimmy Wales office @ Jimbo Wales:. -- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 14:58, 14 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Dragon or snake

@ IranianNationalist: Where did you get the translation "Dragon" from? A thu’bān is a snake, while a dragon would be tanīn. No wonder nobody can find sources for "Dragon gate". I would suggest to retarget "Dragon gate" to Dragon Gate after stuff has been merged, as it is an incorrect and probably made up translation of Bāb al-Thu‘bān. -- HyperGaruda ( talk) 18:36, 15 September 2017 (UTC) reply

@ HyperGaruda: It is said as اژدها or dragon in Farsi language sources (reminding the Bihar al-Anwar was a product by Iranian Safavid dynasty). However snake or serpent(large snake like biblical evil almost means monster has similar meaning to Dragon in Farsi language) However snake or serpent are present in Farsi sources too.
-- IranianNationalist ( Welcome) 19:59, 15 September 2017 (UTC) reply
Safavid or not, Bihar al-Anwar was originally written in Arabic like most religious literature back then and since the gate is located in Iraq, an Arabic-speaking country, it does not make sense to base translations on a detour from Arabic via Farsi to English. You should instead try to find translations from Arabic directly into English, such as the "Gate of the Snake" used in this source. -- HyperGaruda ( talk) 21:07, 15 September 2017 (UTC) reply
I don't know about the Arabic word thu’bān, but one of the meanings of the Farsi word اژدها is a large snake according to the Dehkhoda Dictionary. Curiousity7919 ( talk) 16:35, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

For the record, while his brother Spandy Andy Rimer's article technically had actual sources in it, they were also far too weak — consisting almost entirely of primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage that wasn't substantively about him — to support how advertorialized its content was, and hence I've speedied it.

Article about an individual television episode, serving primarily as a plot summary and not demonstrating any significant real-world context for why it would require a standalone article separately from the existing List of Looking episodes. As always, every TV show that exists does not automatically get to spin off a separate article about each individual episode -- we use episode lists for this purpose, and only create dedicated articles about individual episodes in rarefied special cases, on the order of Ellen's " The Puppy Episode", that can show genuine context for why they need more than just a basic plot summary in an episode list. But what we've got here for real world context is "the episode was released to general acclaim", the end, and what we've got here for sourcing is not really coverage of the episode itself, but brief mentions of the episode in general overviews of the series, a non-notable YouTuber's recap video, and the cast and crew's own self-published audio commentary on the DVD boxset. These are not sources that properly establish that this episode needs a standalone article separately from the already-existing episode list. Bearcat ( talk) 18:40, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Keep per GNG. I disagree. There are many Wikipedia articles about specific episodes, and there are sources for this one, too:

I'd prefer to see this article developed, not deleted. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 19:48, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Plot recaps aren't enough to establish the standalone notability of an individual episode either — especially for a show that aired in the 2010s, when every single show that exists at all will be getting recapped on some pop culture website somewhere. Yes, there are "many" Wikipedia articles about specific episodes — namely, certain specific episodes that have notable real world context, qualifying them for special treatment different from the way we handle most television episodes. What's required for a television episode to qualify for its own dedicated article to be spun off from the episode is real-world context, along the lines of "The Puppy Episode" getting extensively covered as the single most important watershed moment in the entire history of LGBT representation on TV. (Wanna guess how many other episodes of Ellen besides "Puppy" actually have standalone articles separately from the episode list? Free hint: you'll be wrong if you guess any number greater than zero.) Bearcat ( talk) 14:07, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
Ok, well even if a standalone article is not appropriate at this time, we should just redirect to List of Looking episodes and not delete this page. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 15:51, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The series it was connected to lasted two seasons and under HBO terms, didn't do well. This is a low-quality "current-day Family Guy episode type-what-I-see"-level recap which is poor in every manner; the plot, the 'production' section (nobody cares if an actor is making his first appearance on cable), and reception ('general acclaim' is a dreadful description of critical reaction). Nate ( chatter) 02:33, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - Alonso Duralde is a respected film critic, and has written for many publications. The Young Turks are definitely notable; What the Flick is aired through their channel. I would also like to point Mrschimpf towards our civility policy—labelling other contributors' work as "poor", "dreadful", etc. is not helpful. Gertanis ( talk) 19:59, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
    • Comment I apologize if I offended you, but the writing for a plot summary must be well-sourced and read well, and this did not to me; there's parentheticals identifying actors, which distracts from the summary (you've got the cast list in the main article, so readers can easily reference that), along with too many blue links for obvious items such as condos, LA and bachelor parties. "Many scenes were re-shot for the episode, as they were considered too sad." is a line I should not be reading in a Wikipedia article; why is it considered 'too sad'? Can you use better wording? Just on that alone I can re-write it as 'The original cut of the episode was considered too depressing to audiences, and scenes were re-shot in order to lighten the mood'. Why is Mr. Alvarez being on cable for the first time so important? It's an HBO show; that should be good enough, and you don't really need to point that out (as it was most of the cast's first time on cable or HBO). And 'general acclaim' is too vague to describe critical reaction; that could vary as much as 'there are issues with the show that keep it from being great', 'it was an OK show' to 'this was fine'. As for your sourcing, Duralde is a film critic; we usually look for television critics because they work the field all the time, where film critics are grading on a curve because they have different expectations for a television series than a film. TYT (like it or not) is also known more as a political show, with their arts criticism as on the side. Generally, we also prefer to have a written review to source; readers looking for more generally don't want to have to sit through a video (or here also, audio commentary for the episode from those involved in the work, which is a disallowed WP:PRIMARYSOURCE). Nate ( chatter) 21:15, 29 August 2017 (UTC) reply
This is the first article I've created of this kind, so maybe you should be a bit more polite. Unnecessary blue links and parentheticals are easily removed, and constitute no solid reason for deletion. Mr. Duralde is indeed a film critic, but not exclusively. He writes/speaks of both mediums, which is becoming more and more common, as they both pertain to the moving image. Primary sources are not disallowed on WP; autobiographies are often used in articles, for straightforward statements. Also, Ellen is a talkshow, not a narrative feature. You mention Family Guy: that show has WP articles for almost every episode, even some GAs. So why no articles for Looking? Gertanis ( talk) 06:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC) reply
As noted above, what gets an individual television episode into Wikipedia is not the mere fact that it's possible to source a plot summary to episode recaps and critical reviews of the series — what's required is real-world context for why the episode has its own independent importance as a separate topic from the series as a whole. You haven't shown any of that, however — you've just sourced a plot summary.
Also, please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS: the fact that some other unrelated show has separate articles for most or all of its episodes does not automatically mean every other show gets that too. It's possible that those other articles should be deleted too and it's just that nobody's tackled them yet, or it's possible that there are contextual reasons that you're missing as to why the two shows aren't actually equivalent in terms of episode notability or sourceability. (For example, the sheer depth of Star Trek fandom, the show's incalculable influence on pop culture and its gigantic body of literature all mean that it's possible to reliably source genuine real-world context, beyond just a plot summary, for virtually every episode of that series — yet it's not possible to do the same for the shortlived Canadian knockoff The Starlost, where the best we could ever actually do is just a plot summary.)
And incidentally, you need to familiarize yourself with the difference between Ellen, the 1990s sitcom that was actually raised as an example in this discussion, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. They're two different shows; the 1990s one that had a historically important episode called "The Puppy Episode" was not a talk show, but a narrative sitcom.

  • Delete - I'm not able to find coverage about this episode aside than the aforementioned expected coverage by virtue of it being the pilot of an HBO series. I agree that in this day and age pretty much every show is going to be covered in some form by some pop culture podcast or web site, but that does not make the episode worthy of its own article. Had this show made more of an impact on the cultural zeitgeist, my vote would be different. I don't think a redirect is warranted either.

I think it's about focusing efforts where they would be more useful, and managing expectations. For the former, once it becomes standard policy to create redirects for every episode of every show, people will go out and do just that for their favorite shows. So rather than beef up plot summaries, for example, we'll just have more redirects. As far as managing expectations, some of these redirects may show up on disambiguation pages and even in articles as Wiki-links, yet clicking on them might cause disappointment when the occasional reader expects an episode's article as advertised, but lands on the series page instead. In this specific case, the lack of sources that prevent my support of a standalone article also suggests to me that there's not much that will trigger a search for this episode by title anyway, making all of this moot. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 17:37, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The result was merge to Thomas Myles. and Kilcoole. A bold close; but, there being a clear consensus for a merge, the only question is- where to? The emergent opinion- based as much on lack of exoressed views as on those expressed- indicates that both the individual most noted for involvement in the event and the place it took place are deemed the most suitable tagets. Irish Volunteers and Easter Rising gained little traction, and Howth almost none at all. There are few strong arguments presented, but the strongest are- after a month of discussion- favouring Myles and / or Kilcoole. The boldness of this close, I suggest, lies ore in the and than the or. I say nothing about the original necessity in bringing an article to a deletion discussion which even the nominator favoured merging; for future reference, note we have WP:MERGE precisely for that.

@Smmurphy -- sorry for the delay -- I was trying to arrive at a decision. Between " Easter Rising and/or Thomas Myles and/or Kilcoole", I posit that Easter Rising might be the most appropriate. But if you have a better or more informed idea, let's chat. Yours, Quis separabit? 03:33, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply
I hesitate to reiterate my !vote, but I preferr Myles as a good place to redirect someone looking for information on this incident, although I don't have a particularly well-informed idea. From a policy/content perspective, I don't think any material on this page would fit in the Easter Rising page, and so I wouldn't think merging/redirecting to that page would be useful. If you really think it would, I'm fine with it. Smmurphy( Talk) 14:20, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I am not very sure if using the 1961 census directly is a good idea here. Based on what I managed to find:
    1. The preview on Google books only shows one match of the name in the index, but no other matches. We don't know any corresponding information about the place such as district and coordinates.
    2. At the time of the 1961 census, the areas were not systematically named and the ward level census data published often used the nearest rough locality name. A census ward itself is not so much a populated place as it is a temporary administrative division. (Since 2001 however, the census carries actual geographical data with village names).
    3. There is actually another place with a similar name "Chakkara kadavu" or "Chakkara kadavu pally" in Alappuzha. However, this article talks about a locality in Vypin (for which I am unable to find references beyond the Syro-Malabar church information). Would be good if someone can help to research this.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 01:30, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Cherai. Please see my comment above for a background. I have now researched more and it seems to be a locality in Cherai. For example,
    1. [31], the website of the Ernakulam rural police mentions "Chakkarakadavu Church, Cherai"
    2. [32], the website of Kerala state educations shows "Chakkarakadavu St. George's LPS" in Cherai
    3. [33] Article from manjooranfamily.com says "..sending them to a hideout at the remote, primitive, sleepy hamlet of Chakkarakadavu, later known as Cherai. This safe haven was at the newly-formed island of Vypin..." While this may not exactly be a reliable source like a book/newspaper, it nonetheless explains the local history. Based on the above, a redirect to Cherai seems to be a good option.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 15:49, 6 September 2017 (UTC) reply

fails WP:GNG. the relations are extremely minor in nature. no embassies, no agreements, no state visits, no significant migration. looking at the 2007 stats quoted, trade with Moldova made up 0.008% of India's total international trade. that is, if Moldova stopped trading , no one in India would notice. Some of the cited sources are of questionable reliability like [37], [38] and some sort of social networking site. LibStar ( talk) 03:03, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. This and other bilateral relations articles serve purpose of covering extent of bilateral relations. Here, the article documents that there is not a whole lot of relations, which is fine. I think perhaps wp:INHERENT governs. This is where stuff about any embassies is to be provided, in this case "Neither country has a resident ambassador. India has a non resident ambassador in Bucharest." -- do ncr am 04:45, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
there is no inherent notability of bilateral relations, in fact 100s have been deleted. and you've curiously turned up at the same AfDs I nominate, I've never seen you at a bilateral AfD before, and I doubt you found this because you follow deletion sorting for Moldova or India. bilateral articles do not exist for simply listing embassies. LibStar ( talk) 04:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
well, this wasn't listed as a bilateral article, so doesn't explain how you "found" it... nor do you participate regularly in Moldova or India AfDs. LibStar ( talk) 05:49, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Whilst it doesn't cover a "whole lot" of relations, that doesn't mean it isn't an important page in itself. Not every oage needs to be chock full of data to be notable. the absence of data in cases like this is actually information in itself. PLus there is some valuable information contained in the article Egaoblai ( talk) 09:42, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Comment/Delete: Not seeing evidence this meets WP:GNG. LibStar may be hawkish on these articles but they have been in the bilateral AfD wars for many many years, indeed I probably haven't commented on a bilateral relations AfD in years, but LibStar was there I am sure. Kind of like the Richard character in LOST, he will be here in 200 years, I expect. ("Delete! The Venus colony and Malta don't have any embassies or diplomats!") And we don't keep articles on every relation though that arguably might be easier, the standard is that each one has to be shown to be notable.
And since this article will probably be deleted, I just have to quote some of the well-meaning text here out of pure enjoyment: "Both countries have been found supporting each other at many international platforms like the United Nations through reciprocal support mechanism." I don't know what that means, but it sounds nice, like people holding open the door for each other at stores, here the international store of travel and commerce. Also: "There is a likeliness towards Indian dances in Moldovan community and some of the local groups also promote India's culture there." I wonder how many Indian restaurants there are in Moldova, by the way. "Some Moldovan visit India owing to their keen interest in yoga and spiritualism." Tourism is nice, and very good for world peace, but not so much for WP:GNG, I suppose. I also have no clue what this link [39] has to do with relations between India and Moldova other than perhaps "these two countries were mentioned on the SAME BLOGPOST once in 2013."

Non-notable run of the mill startup that fails a number of criteria. Note this article was deleted previously via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flickstree, but was recreated later by a now blocked sock of the original creator. The current article added some sources, but these do not address the reasons the article was previously deleted for. The article currently cites sources that fail WP:CORPDEPTH and mention Flickstree only in passing or as part of a list, only mention the prominent investors in the company, or concern other subjects entirely, all of which qualifies the article for failing WP:NCORP again. The fact that after 7 months (the previous afd was in January 2017) the article creator has not improved the page in any meaningful way speaks as to to the notability of the subject.

Fails WP:GNG. Better to move main points to Green Acres character list. User:EggOfReason ( User talk:EggOfReason) 01:17, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Keep The character, the leading role of Green Acres, has been well-covered by reliable sources, from Washington Post to CNN and various books. [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] The character described a symbolic and significant image of women in society, referred to by the likes of The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Star etc. [47] [48] [49] In 2006, when the Green Acres theme song was sung by Donald Trump and Mullaly at the Emmys, both of them paid homage to Oliver (Lisa's other half) and Lisa Douglas in their respective roles. [50] The character's symbolic characterization of women has also been covered in various scholastic studies. [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] Thanks. Lourdes 03:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • User:Lourdes, a word of advice, to you or any other editor who knows enough about this character to make a judgment that the article should be kept. (and with the caveat that I know nothing about your editing record and was too lazy to see, perhaps you have vast experience and already know what I am about to say). The best, perhaps the only, way to demonstrate to other editors that this fictional character is notable, is to source the article to WP:SIGCOV of the character (not the actress, the character,) in WP:RS. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 12:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • User:EggOfReason. I am grateful to any editor with the initiative to find unsourced arrticles and bring them here, but, do you think that there should also be an AfD for Oliver Wendell Douglas? I could see the argument for merging both of them the Douglas characters to the TV show page, but it seems odd to propose to merge the wife but not the husband.

  • Delete as a textbook example of WP:TNT: if the article's content is useless (including all the versions in history) but the title might be useful, then delete the content to help encourage a new article. If you keep the article, then you're keeping something of no value until someone replaces it with something of value. Fully accepting that the character is notable, there must be a limit to WP:NOTCLEANUP. The article has zero sources, it consists of completely in-universe plot fragments, tagged as such since 2007 (!), along with pearls such as In one episode, Lisa asks a visitor drinking coffee if he'd like another cup. He says yes and she takes the cup, throws it out the window, gets another cup and then pours coffee into it. and In an episode, Lisa said that she did a good impression of Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eva Gabor's sister. Unless someone fulfills WP:The Heymann Standard in the meantime, this should be deleted and redirected appropriately, as it has 0 bytes of worthwhile content apart from the lead sentence.

A Google search of the subject only shows mentions of him being featured on the remix of a Liberian song titled "Pot Not Balling".
