Article is about a boxer with 1 professional fight and an amateur record with slightly more wins than losses. Not close to meeting WP:NBOX and lacks significant non-routine coverage. Probably could have been speedied, but I thought I'd bring it here.Mdtemp (talk) 14:16, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robb Alvey isn't a notable figure. He created his own Wikipedia page. He edits it himself, as does others he knows from his website.

- Delete I have to agree with Citicat. I'm not finding really any coverage of the individual at this time. That is quite common for a college offensive linemen, who usually do not meet the threshold of Notability. However, playing professionally in the NFL during the regular season is widely accepted to meet that level. The catch is there are a large number of "free agents" during the NFL preseason that won't play professionally and don't have enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. I believe this is one of those cases. Would agree to userfy if someone wants to take custody for now and find out if he becomes a professional athlete.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:51, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable film. Not-yet-released, no reliable sources. Deprodded and detagged by article creator (which is okay by policy), who appears (based on username and claims on article's image-file description) to be the writer of the film itself. COI was one of the tags removed and history of his userpage suggests he's mainly here to promote it (which is not okay). DMacks (talk) 18:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- User:DMacks, with all due respect I doubt you are an acknowledged film critic and that you have the right to judge. On top of that, claiming that this is a non-notable film is simply disrespectful and rude.
- Regarding broken links - thank you very much for the note, you were right.
- Regarding "no reliable sources" - I would dare to assume that IMDB, ABC News, etc. are the reliable sources indeed.
- Regarding your quote "COI was one of the tags removed and history of his userpage suggests he's mainly here to promote it (which is not okay)" - you are wrong, this wikipedia article was created purely with informative goal. Also, history of my userpage does NOT suggest anything, unless an imagination is involved.
- All in all, based on User:DMacks notes, I might assume that User:DMacks has personal pre-justice towards either the movie itself or its topic. I would like to ask Wikipedia community to protect this article from personal attacks by User:DMacks and I would be happy to see any criticism or suggestions from any Wikipedia contributor who didn't interact and has no connections with User:DMacks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelDudko (talk • contribs) 18:55, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Please watch the hositlity, MichaelDudko. Let's keep it civil. That being said, if it was mentioned by ABC News, I can't find it, and the movie isn't mentioned in any of the references on the article. IMDb is not a valid source because it's editable by anyone with a membership. Due to that, I vote for Delete. That being said, if there's more information out there, I'll happily change my vote. Grande (talk) 19:04, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you very much Grande for your honest feedback. I would like to note though that Wikipedia is also editable by anyone, IMDB though has a commission (that works full time for a salary) that can disapprove and reject anything and anyone. But once again, thank you for your explanation. Also, I would be happy to share with you Grande a password protected link so you could watch the trailer - I'm sure it will help you to change your mind, as this project advocates for fundamental human rights and it might explain why such outstanding and huge people are involved with this project. Would you like to take a look at the video? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelDudko (talk • contribs) 15:32, July 24, 2013

- Wikipedia:Notability (films) is the relevant guideline. In that light (which is long-standing consensus for WP, regardless of my opinion),references are needed that have in-depth reporting about the film itself, not about the topics that the film discusses. Notability of a topic is not inherited by every work that is about that topic. DMacks (talk) 19:08, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- DMacks (talk) with all due respect - I can't afford myself to waist my time to dispute with you about irrelevant things so you could get a sense of importance. However, I would be happy to give any feedback to all other contributors of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelDudko (talk • contribs) 15:32, July 24, 2013
- Delete since the topic does not meet the general notability guidelines nor the notability guidelines for films. The general notability guidelines say, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." This means that the documentary film itself must have received this coverage, not the subject matter of the film. If the film is released in September as planned, then coverage about the film, especially reviews, would mean we can then have a Wikipedia article about the film. It is too soon right now.

- Erik I would still insist that IMDB is reliable source as it is business driven and is the paramount independent professional online film resource. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelDudko (talk • contribs) 20:30, July 24, 2013
- Michael, IMDb is a database that lists films that are both notable and non-notable using Wikipedia's threshold. As a database, it does not put any emphasis on a film's notability for encyclopedic purposes. Wikipedia follows other sources' lead in covering a topic. It cannot lead the way. This film needs to receive significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. If the film gets enough attention upon release to be covered and reviewed, then we can revisit this topic. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:40, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- From WP:RS/IMDB: "IMDb content is user-submitted and often subject to incorrect speculation and rumor. The use of the IMDb on Wikipedia for referencing is considered unacceptable and strongly discouraged. It should also be noted that its romanization of Chinese titles does not follow the standard. Reliable sourcing from established publications cannot be stressed enough. Anonymous or pseudonymous sources from online fansites are generally not acceptable." Michaelzeng7 (talk) 20:48, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Erik and Michaelzeng7, IMDB is an independent and "professional" resource run by chosen professional industry insiders and it does NOT use Wikipedia's threshold.
- Second of all, not only notable films are listed by Wikipedia, for example, I checked the list of Categories: Documentary films about child abuse and randomly picked The Harvest (2010 film).
- This film does NOT meet your criteria yet it (as many others) is listed. Wikipedia - is an encyclopedia and therefore its mission is very much simple to register things that happen. This movie is something that happened.
- And that's a fact. Regarding your link WP:RS/IMDB - the author of the article might have a very much superficial knowledge in general. For example, you can find [Box Office Mojo] amongst credible resource. The author of that article probably does NOT know that [Box Office Mojo] belongs to and run by IMDB (also it says IMDB is listed amongst questionable resource, not unacceptable - even though it is hilarious). — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelDudko (talk • contribs) 17:15, July 24, 2013
- You're right that IMDb does not use Wikipedia's threshold for inclusion. And Wikipedia does not use IMDb's threshold for inclusion. I looked at The Harvest (2010 film), and it is notable per Wikipedia's notability guidelines. See the reviews here. They should be added to the article, but that topic is notable in general. We can have articles about events themselves, but it is very different to have articles about documentaries about events. The documentaries themselves must be notable, not the event itself. It does not mean every film about adoption is automatically notable. Why can you not wait until the film's release to see if it will be covered then? If there is enough coverage, there can be an article permanently. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I can't help you. I have "rescued" some articles from deletion because I am able to find significant coverage that demonstrates the topic's notability and to reference it in the Wikipedia article so others can also see that it is notable. I am not finding coverage here. Nor can I review the film; I am not an accredited film critic like one you would see at Metacritic. Can you please answer why you cannot wait till the film's release to see if it will be covered and reviewed? Erik (talk | contribs) 14:16, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well Erik (talk | contribs), this is a Catch 22... Even to review the film itself, they would need to have an access to a reliable source of information, and apparently Wikipedia is one of them. And you guys are in control here of this situation, in control of access to the information. Apparently an article on Wikipedia doesn't effect success of any movie, as Wikipedia is not neither a commercial nor advertisement media, but Wiki is important for those who seek to check facts. So what kind of facts we want to present here and for whom? For example, someone watched the movie and wants to double check some of the facts (so far we added only 7 references, but we will add more references and more facts) - he or she can just go to Wiki and click the references/the links. Another reason why do we need this information online is actually because the movie itself has never been a primarily goal of the project. The movie is just a tool - we have always planned to pursue changing the policies that negatively effect chances of orphaned children to find their loving families. So but to change the policies we need to draw people's attention to this problem. But the problem is that somehow this information is being ignored. Most people in the U.S. are simply unaware that in some countries like U.K. white people can NOT adopt black kids for example. There are so many problems with this system. So why don't I want to wait? Because I've been to these orphanages, and I've seen what's going on there... I can wait, but millions of children can't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelDudko (talk • contribs) 19:07, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Film critics do not depend on Wikipedia articles to review films. In my experience, they review films if they are screened at relatively prominent festivals, if the film has a fairly significant distribution, or if it was successfully advertised to them. Films that have not been released have Wikipedia articles because there is already existing coverage. Trade papers like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter do this for Hollywood films, and there is even more coverage upon release. This particular film's notability has to be based on whether or not it is covered when it is released. We also have to separate the documentary from its subject matter here. We can write about the subject matter at adoption and its sub-articles (and even create new ones as necessary), but that is distinct from the film itself.

- INCUBATE as the film is not yet released and lacks coverage. Even though this may be considered a worthy topic, that subjective "worthiness" does not (yet) equate to notability. Certainly the topic of adoption problems is widely covered in multiple reliable sources, but this specfic film is not (yet). So we have a failure of WP:NFF. Toward WP:COI, the film article's author is User:MichaelDudko... the same name as film's writer/director/producer. Writing about a topic with which one has a too-close interest is discuoraged. So to Michael Dudko, and with respects, we have criteria which we use for determining if a film topic merits inclusion. And when it is too soon, it is too soon. However, and in considering the topic itself and the notables whose stories are attached, it is quite likely this will receive the requisite independent coverage in reliable sources either right before or certainly after its release... even if lacking it now. I believe the topic has potential for eventual improvement, and point out policy instructing, "articles which have potential, but which do not yet meet Wikipedia's quality standards, should be moved to the Wikipedia:Article Incubator, where they can continue to be collaboratively edited before either "graduating" to mainspace or ultimately being deleted." It serves the project to have this incubated for collaborative editing as its release draws near. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you send out screener copies to the major media (ie: New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Variety, Washington Post, etc,) and they review the film and publish commentary and analysis, Wikipedia-style notability will be assured.

- Incubate or userfy. I can see this becoming notable in the future, when it is released, so having an article all ready to go would be a good choice. Sadly I can't support fully keeping it right now as notability still has yet to pop up. Beerest355 Talk 04:10, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: Adds nothing beyond what's said here. Citing WP:CRYSTAL, "While Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable." This doesn't need a separate article. uKER (talk) 17:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Product has been officially announced and details of its specs/features/availability are all available from reliable sources. Admittedly the current references are fairly rumor-y but that will get fixed as the article develops. —dgiestc 20:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Specs and features are already in the article. Availability will probably not take more than one line. Does this really need to be a separate article? --uKER (talk) 21:03, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Product differs from linked article and what was speculation about release of a successor on 1st generation should be removed after 2nd generation article is complete. Agree that it is worded currently as rumor-y but official specs have just been released withing the past few hours and will be added/checked ASAP as article is completed. Also, for precedence, see iPad (3rd Generation)—bluebanzaitc 2032, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- What speculation are you talking about? The section on the new revision in the Nexus 7 article was written by myself, and while it's written in future tense (being an unreleased product), there's reliable sources cited for every single piece of information. Now, this attempted article presents that VERY SAME single paragraph of information, and an additional copy/pasted paragraph from the Google Nexus article, for the sake of puffing things up. As long as the available information isn't enough to be a bloat to the Nexus 7 article, this does not need to be more than a section there. --uKER (talk) 20:46, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: There are numerous examples of precedence of every generation of technological devices receiving their own article. As information comes out, reviews come in, etc - the second generation article will expand significantly. Ultimately, using the iPad as precedence, it would seem prudent to create a Google Nexus page once more Nexus branded products are released, giving information on the entire line, such as the iPad article does (although in my opinion, the infobox on the iPad page is unnecessarily lengthy...listing the specs for every iteration of the iPad), and then have pages for each generation of the Nexus line, as the N10 is expected to receive a refresh as well. This would be something for the future, however. For now, this article segregates the information about the generations well enough to keep it. Alternatively (and maybe more reasonable - albeit against established precedence), you could create a single page and separate generations of the device in a manner similar to what the WikiProject Automobiles has established throughout their project - Chevrolet Malibu as an example with separate sections and info boxes for each iteration. Perhaps you'd be interested in spearheading this uKER, if you'd like, now that official information has been released on specs, etc. --Slazenger (Contact Me) 21:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, the specs are already detailed and sourced. I did it myself. The thing is, other than reception information, I don't see what else could be said about the device, and I don't see this article growing anywhere over three paragraphs. Once AFD is resolved, if the article stays (which it seems it will), I'll just unsubscribe from the page, sit it out and see where things go. Let's just say I've been pleased with the results when doing this. :) --uKER (talk) 02:42, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Lots of reliable sources. --Pmsyyz (talk) 04:56, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: The device will be available to the public in five days. Why would this need to be deleted? It would make sense to have a general page for the Nexus 7 line. Then one page for the 1st generation, and one for the 2nd. Or else things become too confusing. An always up to date encyclopedia should not be confusing .Very similar to iPad and iPad (1st generation) and so on. The Nexus 7 (1st generation) has its own page. This should too. 05:17, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Non-notable athlete, actor and model. Claims of notability as an athlete (kickboxing world championship in Egypt, 2008 and Karate European Champion in Lithuania, 2009) cannot be verified as no indication is given as to what sanctioning bodies awarded such titles (nor can any indication be found that such championships were held by any of the major sanctioning bodies). It should be noted that the subject's photograph shows him wearing a championship belt inscribed with the date November 2007, but the rest of the belt cannot be read to ascertain what championship it was. As for the subject's acting and modeling career, it is limited to an appearance (win? loss? kicked out before he started? on the Georgian version of Dancing with the Stars, and a non-specific modeling career in Dubai.

Keep - A few minor mentions right off the bat, but much of the career and citations are old and not online. Her work in Harry Potter video games adds another; IMDB has 45 different mentions, only three or four of "note", but together the Bill and Ben and Dennis the Menace and the video game credits add up to be worth something - and I am sure that IMDB does not have a full record. Outside works include numerous "books on tape" and characters in TV and movies. Now it is better than a minimal stub, but more than 10 minutes is needed to fill this out.

- Comment We already have an article on Sijua, which mentions the mining industry. Bhelatand appears to be a mining village a mile or two south of Sijua - describing it, as the article does, as a "region" seems rather overblown. It probably separately meets WP:NGEOG, though its notability does seem to be mainly in relation to the Bhelatand colliery. If kept, the article should probably be retitled Bhelatand - the two places, or rather their apparently separated but related collieries (which might just be notable in themselves), do sometimes get mentioned as Bhelatand-Sijua but they seem more often to get mentioned separately. PWilkinson (talk) 17:02, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to say Keep as g-satellite shows "BHELATAND" which seems to be a distinct community just south of Sijua and even has several businesses identifying themselves as "Bhelatand", ie "Bhelatand's Officers Club" or "Bhelatand Ground". --Oakshade (talk) 06:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Marina Peninsula is a distinct L.A. neighborhood and geographic feature: the long narrow oceanside spit, filled with expensive condos and even more expensive houses, that runs south from Washington Boulevard (Los Angeles) and the Venice Pier to the entrance channel of Marina del Rey. There are official city street signs marking the neighborhood, including this one on Pacific Avenue near Anchorage Street[21] Passes WP:NGEO and plenty of potential sources available at GNews[22] to verify its notability and to provide a basis for improving what is currently a very skimpy article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:19, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- In reply: Google News Archive finds plenty of evidence the area is real, recognized and notable: [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] Since these ittems are all behind paywalls it will be hard to use them to expand the article; somebody with an LA Times subscription could do it. But keep-or-delete decisions do not depend on the state of the article; the keep-or-delete decision depends on notability, and I think it is clear that this neighborhood is notable. (I also don't think this material belongs in the Venice article; the neighborhoods are so completely different in character and history that in effect it would have to be two unrelated articles under one title.)--MelanieN (talk) 15:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Song/single that fails requirements of WP:N and WP:NSONGS. Had been a redirect for nearly 2 1/2 years until recently, but it just looks like unsourced fluff. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:53, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Come Out and Play (Twisted Sister album), the song's parent album. As far as I can tell (from online sources, at least), the song's strongest claim to notability is that the music video was banned from MTV's playlist. The other brief mentions I found are within the context of an album article/review; I'm unable to find in-depth coverage or other evidence to get this song to meet WP:GNG or WP:NSONGS.

I'm nominating this page because ultimately there aren't any actual reliable sources to back up any claim of notability. It doesn't help that the article seems to have been written by a fan of his work and is at best, written with a ton of WP:OR and at the worst, reads somewhat promotional. A search for his name doesn't bring up much at all- some primary sources and some unusable hits, but nothing I could say gives notability. I used Google Translate to search for his name in Greek since it was in the article, but I didn't find much with that either. Since I know GT has its limits, I'm bringing it here rather than PRODing it. This just doesn't seem like this guy passes WP:GNG. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 14:48, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- On a side note, there was a LOT of links in the EL section at first and I removed all but one of them because they were pretty much linkspam when you got down to it. None of the links looked to be usable as a reliable source, but here is the original version. That's the only part of the article I changed. I think that this translation of his work in a literary journal that republished two of his poems and interviewed him is the only one that looks remotely usable. The problem here is that since they have translated and published his work, this would make them a WP:PRIMARY source when you get down to it. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 14:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- This is a tough one, but I'm going to say Keep. There likely are many sources in Greek but sifting through every page in Greek and using a translator is cumbersome and takes an exorbitant amount of time to find appropriate sources. However, in English sources the Galway Independent refers to Lyacos as a "Renowned Greek poet" [32] and the publication Verse Wisconsin has given an extensive review of some of his work.[33] The very varied world locations of these sources outside of Greece does indicate international notability. --Oakshade (talk) 06:11, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep WP:DICDEF is not a reason to delete. The point of that policy is to cover topics under a common title rather than having separate pages for each headword. That would indicate merger to serfdom in Russia and there is already a relevant merge tag on that article. But there seems to be more to the topic in that a muzhik is now stereotype of behaviour too - rather like redneck or yokel. See Ode to the Russian muzhik, for example.

This really needs to be nipped in the bud before 100s of these kinds of articles start to appear. WP is not a travel guide book, as per WP:NOTGUIDE. Move it to Wikivoyage, then delete here. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 02:07, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I don't think the spirit of WP:NOTGUIDE must necessarily apply to this article; the policy seems focused mainly on the exclusion of minutiae useful only to travelers from articles about places. If this article contained a step-by-step guide to completing the route with minor details about resting places and such, then I think that content would fall afoul of the policy, but the article's existence in itself doesn't necessarily make it a guide. Meanwhile, there appears to be significant independent coverage of this route in reliable sources. See this book and this magazine story. While a lot of the material about it is guidebook-type stuff, there's enough to show that it's a popular route that's received some coverage, and there's enough to write an article with. It meets WP:GNG. The WP:SK1 argument is also a fair one. --Batard0 (talk) 11:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keepMerge to Wine competitionLeaning keep - per one source, the International Wine and Spirit Competition "is considered one of the top wine awards in the world,"(ONE News article) and another source describes it as one of the "big three" wine competitions (The Telegraph article). Another source refers to it as the largest wine competition (The Business of Wine: An Encyclopedia: An Encyclopedia). Predictably, much news coverage focuses upon award recipients, but a source search suggests that this topic meets WP:ORGDEPTH, albeit possibly weakly. Some source examples include: [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40].

- Comment. You've just convinced me that it's perhaps the biggest wine competition in the world. Fine, but that doesn't affect notability. OK; let's look at the sources.
- You found seven sources. The Telegraph article you found is the best of the seven; it includes six or seven sentences about the competition. The others include even less: perhaps two or three sentences on average.
- Please visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions. Expand the box labeled "Expand this box to learn about notability and verifiability". The box requires "references about the subject – at least one lengthy paragraph, preferably more". How many references? "Several of them."
- Dear all: do all these shallow-depth sources, taken together, prove that the competition is worthy of a Wikipedia article? If so, why?
- Or should our article be merged into Wine competition? Would it be possible to do the merge without losing any of our article's lead section or its "Judging" section?

Upon consideration, I've changed my !vote above to merge.Northamerica1000(talk) 07:41, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Per WP:EVENT, changed back to leaning keep, particularly per WP:LASTING. Struck more above. The topic's notability is somewhat tricky, but per WP:PRESERVE, the content should remain somewhere. Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 08:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or merge into Wine competition. Despite this competition's renown, the secondary sources appear to provide almost zero in-depth coverage. —Unforgettableid (talk) 00:17, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In response to your comment my talk page: The event meets all the notability criteria of lasting effect, geographical scope, duration of coverage, and diversity of sources (international coverage). I disagree that being weak in one area (depth of coverage) disqualifies this event as 'notable' considering everything else as a whole. Therefore, my view remains 'keep'. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:30, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- STRONG KEEP-- Seriously, a really bad AFD...this is the largest such competition in the wine and spirits industry, largest in the world. It's an event so important that a winery that wins a gold medal sees a monumental sales bump. This AFD is like saying the World Series isn't notable in baseball. A quick check IWSC in google and bing results, and at google books, show a multitude of sources that could be used per WP:RS for significant coverage. The results of this event are reported in magazines and international newspapers. WP:ORGDEPTH states that "a company, corporation, organization, school, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. ...Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability." Sure the article needs improvement, but simply, WOW, this is a bad AFD.--ColonelHenry (talk) 18:10, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article is in rough shape but the Colonel is right in that this is one of the most notable wine competitions out there. I don't know if I would compare it to the World Series though :P but it would be fair to describe it as the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show of wine. AgneCheese/Wine 19:27, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I've found hundreds of references to it in the press, although the article itself could use rewriting to remove advertorial content. Andrew327 15:40, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
