Promotional, no reliable, independent sources and none found on Google, no indication that this company meets the notability guideline. Contested PROD, reason for removing was "deletion tag removed. i searched google and found sources mentioning this organization". The user who removed the tag has not produced any such sources.

WP:BLP of a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. The article makes no substantive claim of non-local notability anywhere outside of the small town where she lives, and the article is cited exclusively to her books' sales pages on an online bookstore and to the front splash pages of the local community weekly newspapers in her own hometown rather than to any content about her in either of the newspapers. Further, I just did a ProQuest search and found that she gets just four hits in "Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies" — and she was the bylined author, not the subject, of every single one of them. Simply put, she simply does not have enough independent media coverage to get over WP:GNG. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 22:47, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

- Delete I'm just not finding notability. For example, she lists material published with "Brian Wrixon Books", but this publisher lacks notability, even lacks a website, merely has a Facebook page [1] on which he self-describes as: "A private not-for-profit Canadian publisher registered with Library and Archives Canada." This sort of publisher is no indicaiton of notability, nor can I find anything else indicating that Figueroa is a notable poet, although she may very well be a good one.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep Nom's assertion: "has only received substantial coverage relating to $600k of funding" is not accurate. In fact, there was substantive coverage before funding announcement, Here [2] And more recent articles are about about the model, not the funding Here [3], here [4], and here [5]. It is the amount and depth of coverage that makes an article pass GNG (not whether coverage was triggered by a funding announcement).

Sources do not indicate notability as they are not sufficiently independent. Seem to be an assortment of pages from their website, mentions of them in various artist's CVs, a press release and something from the publication they funded. Neither the references nor a web search indicate that anyone independent has given them in -depth coverage. Happy Squirrel (talk) 21:50, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

And my understanding is artjewlryforum.org is a website for promoting and selling this? Probably no way of a website on the topic getting notable enough to need it's own wikipage. Just not enough people will be buying jewlry art because of it's expensiveness. This might change in the future, who knows, but at this point the reliable sources aren't there to justify it.

- Very few people own a Van Gogh, but that in itself does not mean that there is not a lot of content written about his pieces. It is very conceivable that people will write about "art jewelery" in a significant manner even if no one can afford to actually buy it, and that a publication catering to this topic could become notable. However, I am just not seeing any evidence that such has happened with this publication. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

- Happysquirrel, I chose those particular references to cite that those were grant recipients. If I flushed out individual sections with reviews of those particular shows, would that help the the pages chances?Clarefinin (talk) 17:02, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Clarefinin:, Yes that might help. What determines whether a topic can have a stand alone article is evidence that other reliably published sources without a connection/interest in the subject have written about the subject in a significant manner. Places that co-sponsor/receive/give grants are not independent. And just because something is mentioned on an .edu site does not mean that the content has been "published" with editorial oversight etc. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:24, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

- Please note that several other Wiki pages uses articles from Art Jewelry Forum as their sources.Clarefinin (talk) 13:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- I am in a predicament now that this organization is used as an academically sound source, but it has never been discussed itself in depth by other academic sources. I am a graduate student in the field of metalsmithing/jewelry. Unfortunately our field on a whole has been historically vastly undocumented. This has slowly been changing, but there is, to date, only a handful of texts written on the field, most of which are too old to have referenced Art Jewelry Forum. The lack of academic writing about our field is in large part why AJF was founded; its core mission is to help legitimize and historicize the field. As someone who currently teaches at a university level in our field, I can assure you that our field considers AJF as an academic source in of itself. Articles from AJF are used in the curriculums of hundreds of metalsmithing/jewelry programs at the university level. My opinion is that an organization that has such a respected and wide influence on a field on a whole, and academia specifically, deserves a wiki page.Clarefinin (talk) 13:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- It can't just be your opinion though. I don't really have an opinion since I'm not an art jewlry expert. But without reliable sources how can it be here? No one doubts that art jewelry itself deserves a wiki page it's just that artjewelryforum.org the website doesn't. Modern Art has it's own wiki page but modernart.net, the top website for selling pieces, does not. Popish Plot (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:11, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- AJF is not interested in selling jewelry. They are interested in the publication of academic articles. They are a publisher, not a seller.Clarefinin (talk) 17:42, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Ah ok I got confused after reading your earlier comment "There is a market for art jewelry." I had read that wrongly. Well no matter what it is for, is it notable? They are interested in publication of academic articles. Are there reliable sources that mention them? It relies too much on primary sources here aka links to the website itself. Then non reliable sources like the larkscraftys.com one which says it is in conjunction with artjewlryforum. How about a third party source not connected to them? The two .edu sources are the best bet but I think it might not be enough for concensus to say this is notable. Do any of the sources used for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_jewelry mention this organization, the art jewelry forum? Popish Plot (talk) 18:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

- If it has "such a respected and wide influence on a field on a whole, " then there will be sources to verify such a claim. We are not here to establish AJF as a reliable source. It is likely that the places in Wikipedia where AJF has been used as a "source" are also in need of corrections. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:CORP, due to not enough coverage. Exact reason why Draft:Art Jewelry Forum (AJF) was rejected yesterday, this is why you shouldn't just create an article after it's rejected at WP:AFC. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:18, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
I have expanded several sections of the page and added a fair number of additional references. If someone could be so kind as to take another look and give me feedback it would be much appreciated! I also have a questions on linking to foreign wiki pages. AJF is an international organization; its board members span four of five continents. I would like to link select board members to their own wiki pages in their respected countries, but was told not to create international wiki links.... Are there any suggestions of how I can create an easily understood link between the AJF page and the board members international wiki ages? Also, someone added that a citation was needed when I was talking about a specific book being "the first of it's kind". There is nothing besides press releases which also state this. I am stating this, personally, because I am an expert on the field, know every book published on the field, teach the history of the field at a top ten university, and know that it is, in fact, groundbreaking. Is there a way to contest the "citation needed"? Thank you everyone for your help with this projectClarefinin (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hello, about the citation needed, unfortunately, because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it can only publish things that others have said in reliable secondary sources. Press releases are just not independent and cannot be used as sources. Furthermore, although you may have evidence as an expert in the field for this claim, if it is not published, it is original research and cannot be on Wikipedia. I have had a similar experiences with a math article. It is extremely frustrating, but if the statement cannot be sourced, it will unfortunately have to be removed. About inter-language links, all the Wikipedias do try to be include content about notable international figures. No matter the person's nationality, if they satisfy English Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines, an article can be written about them. Some may already have existing articles. Otherwise, perhaps a translated article would be a good addition to enwiki. If they do not satisfy enwiki's inclusion guidelines, then wikilinking is definitely inappropriate. Hope that makes sense. Happy Squirrel (talk) 18:22, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- HappySquirrel, thank you for clarifying, and yes it makes sense. As I am sure you've gathered, I'm new to wikipedia, and there is a lot of customs to become acquainted with. If I wanted to make an english version of an international wiki page is there an easy way to request a duplicate? Or would I just create one from scratch with translated text? Also, what is your feeling on the AJFs page in regards to establishing "notability" at this point? 24.179.112.58 (talk) 18:44, 11 July 2015 (UTC) (Note: If IP editor "24.179.112.58" is actually Clarefinin, then please remember to try and log in before you comment. I am pretty sure this was just an accident, but it could lead others to mistakenly assume that multiple accounts are being used by a single editor. So, it's best to stick with a single account. Thanks. - Marchjuly (talk) 22:50, 11 July 2015 (UTC))
- Comment: What Happysquirel says about press releases is not entirely true. Press releases are considered to be primary sources and they can be used to source information, but they must be used carefully and typically only for certain types of uncontroversial factual information. For this reason, a primary source is not acceptable for asserting notability per WP:ORG because Wikipedia notability is in a sense more of an "interpretation" than a absolute "fact". It needs to be shown that multiple secondary or third-party reliable sources have significantly covered the subject per WP:ORGDEPTH for notability to be established. - Marchjuly (talk) 22:43, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep probably notable. This is basically all the coverage to be expected about any organization of this type, and I think it's sufficient. It seems to be the largest organization in its field, and we usually accept that as notability. DGG ( talk ) 22:34, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Updated article seems better, haven't got time to properly analyse the sources now, but probably just about notable, per WP:GNG. Also, I guess if they are the top of their field, then as @DGG: says, keep is probably best. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:46, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per DGG above. His point about "largest" entirely valid I think. c1cada (talk) 23:26, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep While the lack of independent references is a weakness (but also a problem for most niche publications/organisations) contemporary art jewellery is a recognised high art form, embedded in the university system, covered in its own publications, and collected and researched by museums. As a person who works in the museum sector I can confidently say Art Jewelry Forum is a notable organisation and source of a significant amount of the relevant online publishing in this area.Auchmill (talk) 03:19, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:GNG. Wiki92man (Talk/Stalk) 08:54, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep the new sources satisfy me that this passes GNG. As DGG points out, the small size of the field explains why sources are hard to find, as they are mostly in more niche publications. Happy Squirrel (talk) 18:14, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Although opinion may vary about whether this is fine art, the subject is impotrtant, and the Art jewelry forum is actively publishing.Hiart (talk) 18:30, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: In full disclosure: I've met and worked with a few AJF folks at a workshop. That said, if I may, I'd like to ask people to consider the organization in the light that DGG, Happy Squirrel, and Auchmill suggest: this organization is
the largestone of the largest in their field, even if seemingly niche outside of that field. AmandaRR123 (talk) 22:24, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, to be the most precise I should say "one of the largest" rather than "the largest", since I don't have firm numbers on that, but I think the main point still stands. AmandaRR123 (talk) 22:30, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep - "15-501" is common verbiage in North Carolina to refer to the concurrency of US 15 and US 501. In the past, I supported keeping this as a separate article covering the concurrency (see this discussion). Also, in the previous AFD, it was noted this page needed to stay for attribution.

- From the one source I can bring up (SF), it seems to be a pretty quick mention that does not indicate it would fulfil this for wp:NSONGS Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. --CutOffTies (talk) 00:12, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- The other source has pages of information and history about the song and so we're good. Merging to an album or artist is not appropriate because the song may appear in multiple albums and be covered by multiple artists (as this one has). The song and its title are the natural atomic level for this information, facilitating search, indexing and coverage. Andrew D. (talk) 13:37, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I was able to bring back The Complete David Bowie this time and see the information on the song. It seems that book covers every single Bowie song. Are there any general music sources that cover this song? Thanks. --CutOffTies (talk) 03:56, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Non-notable organisation. No evidence that they have actually done anything of any significance whatsoever. Their website states that they are "not officially launching the organisation till January 2016". The only meaningful 'third-party' sourcing - a piece in a local online newspaper [6] - is written by a Tom Hinchcliffe, a name shared with a person whe identifies himself as their 'Senior Press Officer' on their Twitter page [7]. Not that the article in question does anything to establish notability anyway, since it merely reports that an announcement about the organisation's founding has been made. At best, this is run-of-the-mill WP:CRYSTALBALL stuff, promoting an organisation that might possibly become significant in the future if they actually do something concrete, rather than engaging in self-promotion.

- I believe the article is credible for viewing and reading on Wikipedia and does present relevant information to educate browsers on the organisation. The World Youth Alliance does not seem to have any better citations. However I do agree, as the organisation has not launched yet it does make it more difficult for the organisation to have much notebale sources. But all in all, I think the article provides sources which are of high enough certainty that it is verified information to be published on this platform. Biotiteegg (talk) 16:12, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- I suggest you read Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) - the sources don't come within a country mile of the requirements. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and contains articles on subjects that are demonstrated through third-party coverage to be of significance now. It isn't a platform for the self-promotion of organisations that claim they are going to do something next year. And no, much of the content in the article isn't verified at all - it isn't even sourced. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:37, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

- Delete article was twice refused at AfC, see User Talk:Biotiteegg, but moved to mainspace nevertheless. Only sources in the article are primary, including their official site, a blog post in the Huffington Post by their CEO-to-be, and a piece in a Yorkshire paper by their "press-officer". Organization is scheduled to be launched in January 2016, but it is doubtful whether under-age persons really can legally open an organization (in Brazil, where they say will be a branch, it's definitely forbidden, people under 18 are not legally liable under any circumstances). Thus it severely fails WP:CRYSTAL and WP:GNG. Kraxler (talk) 15:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Non notable company lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Identical article [8]] declined by Sulfurboy. Philg88 ♦talk 16:10, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - It's unfortunate they abandoned the AFC process. Non-notable via WP:CORP. All sources are either primary or just press releases. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Please Keep - It came to my attention a few weeks ago that this page is long overdue for an update. I am the new website and social media manager of Bottle Rocket Studios. The only reason I state this is to avoid a conflict of interest as it is not my interest, but my job. Please let me know if there are any steps that should be taken to further prevent deletion or if I should simply create a new page.
- The abandonment of the AFC process was due to the fact that I realized I could submit a request to change the title of the page. The new page I attempted to create (titled Bottle Rocket Studios, that I believe you are referring to) was a poor attempt at changing the name before I had thoroughly explored all courses of action.
- To give some backstory, my original intent was 2 fold: 1. to create a profile that could be used within our marketing department so that changes could be made when needed without having to go through me every time. 2. I made a poor assumption that making a company branded account name would show that the edits and new page I attempted to make were going to from a reliable source. I understand that I broke several community standards in doing so and am working to make amends.
- I apologize for my blatant disregard of community standards as I attempted to quickly make amendments to the page. I will continue to read up on the community and content guidelines and plan to avoid any similar situation in the future. (I also apologize if this is not a standard response, but I wanted to get a statement on the post before this had a chance to go any further) BricePraslicka (talk) 19:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment @BricePraslicka: This article is not a "company profile" like you suggest, but instead an article that anyone can edit. If you're here to build a company profile, then use a social network or official website. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for neutral tone articles on notable things. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:34, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment @Joseph2302: Thank you for the clarification. If I were to rewrite the page (as I planned to do anyway) to speak of the innovations that Bottle Rocket has made to the mobile and virtual reality industry, would that potentially be notable enough for a page? As I stated earlier, I have been working to bring myself up to speed on this whole process and the community guidelines. I do however, at the moment, seem to not understand what makes some companies notable and not others. I had the understanding that Wikipedia was an encyclopedia of knowledge, not a place for only notable topics. Regardless, thank you again for the clarification and understanding. Also, thank you @Gene93k: for the addition of articles related to community standards that must be met. BricePraslicka (talk) 20:29, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

- Weak keep as the first female WSOP winner (and not of a "side event") and a two-time winner. As for the amount, should we also negate Johnny Moss's victory at the very first Main Event because he only won $30,000? Should five-time WSOP winner Gary Berland be deleted too? His biggest WSOP cash was less than Brodie's: $24,000 to $35,200. You can't apply today's standards to yesterday's players. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:37, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- Everything other than the Main Event is a side event, by definition -- the term used on Wikipedia is 'preliminary event' -- same thing.
- WP:OSE is not a valid way to establish notability.
- If winning established notability, RS's would have written about it. That they haven't, means that by definition it was not notable.

Non-notable author. Fails both WP:AUTHOR and WP:BASIC. According to her self-published biography (here), she is an "award-winning" author, but the awards she apparently won are little known: the 2003 Literary Prize of the National Gendarmerie (French: Prix littéraire de la Gendarmerie 2003) and the Award of Excellence at the Étretat Literary competition. I couldn't find any secondary source mentioning her awards. And she does not seem to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Edcolins (talk) 19:50, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Certainly, a strong sense of WP:PROMO in this article created by a single-purpose account Geothebg (talk · contribs) (the other work on record by that editor is the also-problematic Geoffroy Faugérolas.) The material from the self-published biography (which I excised from the article for WP:COPYVIO reasons) suggests some coverage in various media sources, but without a listing of that or other significant sources (the article is currently all sourced to related-party sources or databases, neither of which show significance), it's hard to find real support for inclusion. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:11, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

- Most of the things you list don't actually help the case. We're not doubting that the subject exists, the question is establishing notability, so databases of films, or publishers' listings, don't advance that. The book reviews do a better job; my French is not good enough (i.e, it's non-existent) to judge whether they fully contribute to the type of notability that WP:AUTHOR calls for. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:27, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Seemingly NN local hip hop duo. No record label. No in-depth coverage to pass GNG. The most notable coverage of this act is a couple of obscure reviews and inclusion of his album in an undergraduate syllabus. The Dissident Aggressor 13:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - My searches actually found several results but nothing I think would make a substantial improvement, here, here, here (Google and Yahoo browser searches found same results), here and here. At most, this could be mentioned somewhere else but I'm not seeing a good target. Looking at the history, first edit here to gradual improvement such as this until being trimmed here. Locally notable maybe but I'm not seeing much possible improvement (note also that this article has almost existed ten years, December 2005 with basically not much significant improvement).

- Keep - This should will also be updated with the heavy coverage about the party in this book about Marshal Ledbetter http://www.amazon.com/Making-Sense-Marshall-Ledbetter-Political/dp/0813060168. I will do it at some point, I hope this article is still there to do it. The article from the NY Times about Charlie Ward as a reference documenting he was Student Body President, and he was under the MOnarchy Party. The Journal for Higher Education article is not minor, I have a copy of it, and is printed by the London times. If needed I can scan the darn thing in. Paper references still work in this digital age.

- I put forward that the Florida Flambeau is not a student newspaper in the way other campus papers are. In Florida the papers were kicked off campus in the 1960's-70's due to some liability ruling, and were bought up by major publishers. It is neither owned or run by FSU, nor is it student run. The Flambeau is a Gannett publication (USA Today) and is a branch of the Tallahasse Democrat. It's staff is paid, and is not student, but does focus it coverage on the FSU campus and student topics. It is a real paper, not a student paper as on most campuses. Those references should be considered.

- Keep -This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (Because it covers an unique alternative form of student government based on royalty that for the most part worked. Granted it is a SGA and not an important national political party but the rare example of a reactionary form of governance evolving is in itself interesting and noteworthy if looking at political parties that are deliberately created to go against the establishment [i.e. the Pirate Party UK]) Septagram (talk) 21:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - A cute story, thousands of universities have thousands of colorful stories and histories like this, but it is sourced only to student newspapers and myspace. The claim in the lead of "received media attention in The Washington Post and The Times of London" seems to be a creative stretching of the truth. The Washington Post story about Charlie Ward's vice-presidency of the student body does not mention the "Party", while the Times of London is wholly absent. The U. Maryland "chapter" gets a brief WP:MANBITESDOG write-up in the NY Times, but that is not enough to support a Wikipedia article. Tarc (talk) 12:49, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No references for a WP:BLP; both external links are from chineseculture.net, which according to the opening paragraphs is a website created by her. Most of the Google results of "Wang Fei" + "guqin" are from guqin.org, which again is something created by her. Honestly, while founder of North American Guqin Association sounds impressive, the truth is barely anyone in North America has heard of guqin, much less play or appreciate it, so I'm not sure how notable this makes her. Also worth mentioning is that Wang Fei (musician) originally redirected to Faye Wong, so even if the article is kept, it needs to be renamed somehow as a pop singer is also a musician.

- All three have not been translated for extended periods of time, and it's typical to PROD them after a week. Keep in mind they can always be recreated if someone cares to supply an English version of them. ~ RobTalk 21:17, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- So what? That they haven't been translated does not impact their respective notability in any way. Nominator did not even put up "find sources" for the others, only for Kazich. I found tons of articles on Samanta Stuhr. —МандичкаYO 😜 08:46, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep: It is licensed TV channel so its notable. Moreover,Sri Lanka is very very small country having population equal to any metro city of Big nation, so whatever happening in this nation may not be covered by The New York Times and BBC. This TV channel must be famous at national level as Sri Lanka is Buddhist country and this channel is also about Budhhism. National language of Sri Lanka is Sinhalese language and mention of this channel must be in Sinhalese language news papers and journals, I don't think that Sri Lanka has any notable English newspaper and even if Sri Lanka has any notable English news paper still its less likely that English news paper will give news about any non-English spiritual channel. So we can't just deny this article. It is licensed TV channel from small country so it is notable at that level. --Human3015 knock knock • 21:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Kommentar - Human3015's comments are very simplistic and paternalistic, particularly for Sri Lankan editors. - This TV channel must be famous at national level as Sri Lanka is Buddhist country and this channel is also about Buddhism. Sri Lanka has a number of Buddhist, Sinhalese, Tamil and English television channels, just because it is a Buddhist channel does not make it inherently 'famous'. Sri Lanka also has a number of national English newspapers which can be accessed for news about the country. The issue is whether the channel is notable or not according to Wikipedia guidelines. Dan arndt (talk) 01:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Dan arndt, I don't have any specific POV regarding any specific nation, I was just giving some rationale to prove my point. You seems to be familiar with Sri Lankan issues, then you must be aware about Sri Lankan Civil War, Sinhalese vs Tamil war. Those people are passionate for their local language, entire politics revolves around language. Sinhalese have far more importance than English in Sri Lanka. For example Sri Lanka's current President knows only "Sinhalese" language, nothing else. So I want to make a point that Sinhalese Media is more active and most read media in Lanka. So if we want to check notability of this TV channel then we can't just rely on English language sources, we should also look for sources in Sinhalese and Tamil. I don't know both languages so I can't search for it and can't establish its notability. I just want to say that, if we don't find any source in English language still we should not deny its notability unless we confirm it by other language sources. According to Wikipedia policy also we can use non-English sources, those Sinhalese news papers also have status of national dailies. --Human3015 knock knock • 01:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- I trust you will be adding those sources that "may" exist in those languages? The first few difficulties I foresee is verfiability. I'd also like to point out that wikiproject guidelines on notability do not overrule or trump wikipedias.

- Comment The channel name in Sinhalese appears to be ශ්රද්ධා රූපවාහිනිය (?). Given that I speak zero Sinhalese and have no instincts about which links in my Google search may be news sources, I am not easily able to come up with more sources. It appears that this is a newspaper article about the channel from 2013, but Google Translate gives a pretty poor idea of what it says. I'm not sure what volume of online news would be expected for a television channel in Sri Lanka. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:08, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Calliopejen1, thanks for your efforts, your given link shows that its news about Shraddha TV on National daily of Sri Lanka in Sinhala language. I copy pasted headline ශ්රද්ධා රූපවාහිනිය ඩයලොග් ටීවී ඔස්සේ on google translator, it translates as Shraddha Dialog TV via TV, there must be some words missing in translation we have to translate it word by word. But one thing is sure that entire news is about Shraddha TV and headline contains word Shraddha TV. It means its notable TV channel in Sri Lanka. --Human3015 knock knock • 18:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 19:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
SCA armoured combat is a martial art (combat sport) in it’s own right… done, in a tournament structure, by thousands of people in around 20 different countries, and has been around for some decades now. When you compare that to some martial arts that are done by a handful of people , in one country (like Bartitsu or Pojo) that have their own page… it would certainly seem worthy of having its own article. To a degree, it sits as a stand alone concept, in that it is a combat sport that many people do (and sometimes not wearing historical clothing), and they don’t do other general SCA activity. The other issue here is, the SCA general article page is already too long – there’s not really any room to move the material on this page into it. Deathlibrarian (talk) 23:54, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- How many people do it is, for encyclopedic purposes, less of a factor than how much coverage it has received from non-primary sources, IMO. If it's received more coverage from non-primary sources than the article currently suggests, the article should be updated. If it has not received such coverage, then I question whether it's notable enough to merit its own article at this time. DonIago (talk) 05:14, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Please note, as per WP:N I have now removed all associated sources, (works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it) and replaced them with reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I agree, in the old form, there was a lot of SCA associated secondary materal, with that removed, it should now meet WP:GNG. There's significant coverage, there is in fact more that I haven't referred to, but IMHO 10 articles or so is enough for a Wikipedia article of this size. I hope this satisfies the WP:N issue.

- I stand by my statement. The article covers a subject that has been mentioned in major media outlets multiple times. The notability should be beyond dispute. As for blowing up the article? Why? The chances you'll get a better article on the subject the second time around is low. Is there a specific thing you wish was excised or edited from the current version?

- Reply to comment: Perhaps the Vogue ones are sufficient to be kept, and maybe merging them all into a new article List of Vogue cover models, with sub-sections for each country. That'll at least give the article stance to be a potential feature artticle. But the other non-Vogue ones don't seem to be nontable, and come across as the creator using Wikipedia for a speadsheet-type database; and Wikipedia is not a webhosting services.

- Comment. The nominator has misunderstood WP:OR. First, it does not require citations within an article. The policy is that all information must be verifiable. So the fact that information does not yet have citations does not mean it is OR. It is only OR if it's not possible to have citations for it. Second, where we have magazine issue dates, that is a citation (and a source is reliable for its own content), unless it's argued that the cover model is somehow not identifiable from the issue itself (i.e., they're wearing a mask and no caption says who they are). On a separate point, I agree with the previous commenter that these have varying merit and should not have been lumped together, because being on the cover of one magazine may be significant within a given industry and being on the cover of another may be completely trivial. Or the covers of certain magazines may have themselves gained significant attention regardless of who is on them. postdlf (talk) 00:45, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - based on List of Russian fashion models being a perfectly notable list alone. —МандичкаYO 😜 14:34, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't even notice that in the list; that's obviously completely different than the magazine cover lists, and its inclusion here shows some serious lack of care on the part of the nominator in examining these. I think speedy close is really the only way to close this, in favor of more narrowly targeted AFDs. postdlf (talk) 15:11, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Postdlf: perhaps one needs to be reminded about assuming good faith before shooting their mouth off and openly stating that a nominator has a "serious lack of care". That is not a nice thing to say about anyone, and I sure as hell would never say it to any user who nominates things. The user who created all of these articles also created a string of other "list of" articles, all of which lacked notability. It was another user (I assume to be an administrator) who advised to link all of these too for further investigation. So telling me I have "lack of care" before checking into the whole facts is a bad faith comment to make. Please kindly redact your remarks. Thanks you. Wes Mouse | T@lk 15:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- If you're saying that you included the Russian model list in this AFD just because it was created by the same editor, that doesn't exactly help your case. Add to that your completely incorrect application of WP:OR, your bizarre claim that these lists have "excessive amounts of statistical data" (I see no statistics in any of these lists), and your inclusion of lists of potentially widely varying merit under the same generic rationale (and one list of completely different substance, merely the same general subject area), and that makes this a poor nomination, one that does not demonstrate evidence of compliance with WP:BEFORE. If you in fact did perform careful examination of each of these lists and their potential, then as my high school math teacher would say, "show your work." postdlf (talk) 15:47, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Postdlf: care to read my comments again and re-word your question? Putting words into someone's mouth is a bad faith thing to do. What I said was that at another AfD I had listed a load of articles that shown statistical voting patterns between countries at the Eurovision Song Contest, upon further investigation it emerged that the editor also created a pile of articles containing lists that had no prose explaining what the lists are about, and no reference section for {{Cite magazine}} refs (which if these models appeared on a magazine as stated, then citing the said magazine properly, is the correct method to carry out, per WP:CITE.
- List of Russian fashion models has no prose to explain what the list is about, and therefore makes it look like an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of names without any meaning. Then we have List of Numéro magazine cover models which says it is a "catalogue of names"; have we forgotten that Wikipedia is not a catalogue? I already noted in a comment above that all of the separate lists of Vogue models by country would probably be better off all merged into List of Vogue models. At least in doing so, would allow the article to look half-decent, would benefit from having prose content, and citations - and most likely make it a feature list in Wikipedia quality terms. And if that were to be carried out, then I would withdraw my nominations of those Vogue articles listed. But the burden is not on myself to do such a merge on a topical area that I am unfamiliar with. We then have List of people on the cover of Maxim magazine (Russia), which is just a tabled list of names, with no citations, not even {{Cite magazine}}, nor does it house a references section to give it credibility and notability.
- All of these list articles fail the core guidance set out at WP:STAND, which states that "stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies, such as verifiability, no original research, neutral point of view, and what Wikipedia is not, as well as the notability guidelines". Most of them fail WP:V as there are no in-line citations to verify the content; most fail WP:NOT; and they are most certainly not written in a neutral point of view. Now, read the guidelines again, and tell like your maths teacher once said "show me your work". Wes Mouse | T@lk 16:13, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- What you said in your nomination in this AFD was "This article contains excessive amounts of statistical data", which none of these lists do. I have no idea why you're mentioning a Eurovision AFD here. But it's pointless to argue about what you've said when anyone can read it, and on the merits you're persisting in the same misunderstandings.
Having a separate references section is merely a formatting choice, as is the use of footnotes or the use of citation templates. That an article currently lacks them (or indeed presently lacks any kind of references, whether in-line, footnoted, or not) has nothing to do with whether the information is actually verifiable. Likewise, whether a topic is notable or not has nothing to do with the current state of an article, but instead only with whether sources exist that would establish notability. In fact, as I already pointed out above, a date for a magazine is a citation for an issue of that magazine regardless of what formatting is used to present it, because that's all the information you need to know what issue to look at to verify that issue's content. But you seem hung up on the irrelevant fact that the date is presented in the tables rather than in a footnote. A deletion rationale that goes no further than the current state of the lists fails, and strongly suggests you didn't consider their potential as is required by BEFORE.
On the list intros, it's also irrelevant what they currently say because they can always be rewritten or expanded. What matters is the substance of the content and the potential of the topic. The (somewhat strange) choice of the word "catalog" in one of the list intros can easily be changed and doesn't determine what the list substantively is. And you're equivocating in any event because one meaning of "catalog" is simply a list, and we clearly mean a different and very specific sense of the word in WP:NOTCATALOG (such as a sales catalog containing "pricing or availability information") that doesn't at all apply here. It's also clear just from the title that List of Russian fashion models should contain fashion models that are Russian, and we routinely and uncontroversially limit such lists to people with articles or who merit articles. There could be a reasonable dispute as to whether it's reasonable to split "fashion models" off as a separate classification (our category system does not do so), but no one has commented on that, and as List of Russian models doesn't yet exist the solution per WP:ATD would be to move it to that title and expand it.
On the merging suggestion for the Vogue lists, no, as a volunteer you're not obligated to perform a merge yourself (though that's not at all what WP:BURDEN, which you linked to, is about), but if you want something done but don't want to do it yourself you can always add an appropriate tag or make a talk page suggestion for others. And once you've admitted that you would not support deletion if merger was performed, you've withdrawn your own deletion nomination regarding those lists (again per WP:ATD, as well as WP:SK#1).
All of this leads me to the conclusion that this nomination should either be withdrawn by you or speedy closed and the Vogue lists tagged for merging so that proposal can be discussed/performed through normal channels. And then if there are any remaining lists for which you can actually present a specific deletion rationale after following BEFORE, then relist them in new AFDs that actually focus on their specific merits. postdlf (talk) 17:08, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Postdlf: Too long, didn't read all of it. But the fact you don't know why I mentioned a Eurovision Afd, clearly shows incompetence on your part. I had clearly stated that I had noted of all these model-related articles at that Eurovision AfD for admin consideration into whether they required separate action or not. I was advise to list them all in a new Afd, which is this very AfD. Now, how confusing can that really be? And one cannot demand a "speedy close". Seven days need to pass, unless there is a clear snow ball. The fact that there is a conflict in how these are being seen is perfectly clear that further discussion and input from other editors is required, before any closure can be even contemplated.

- "I had clearly stated that I had noted of all these model-related articles at that Eurovision AfD for admin consideration..." LOL, no, you didn't clearly state that, and I had to dig through your contribution history to find that AFD (which you didn't link here) and then dig through the edit history of that AFD to find where you had dumped the model links in the middle of it (which you had since removed). You had only said in this discussion that someone somewhere said you should list them together. And what they actually said was that they had nothing to do with the Eurovision AFD so you should list them separately. Which really doesn't matter either way because it was your choice to start this mass nom, no one else's responsibility. I've explained point by point where you're wrong, and suggested a way forward that even leaves open whether some of these lists should be deleted. But you're endlessly arguing irrelevant points rather than responding to substantive rebuttals, so good day, sir. postdlf (talk) 18:11, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

If you in fact did perform careful examination of each of these lists and their potential, then as my high school math teacher would say, "show your work." postdlf (talk) 15:47, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Postdlf: perhaps one needs to be reminded about assuming good faith before shooting their mouth off and openly stating that a nominator has a "serious lack of care". That is not a nice thing to say about anyone, and I sure as hell would never say it to any user who nominates things. The user who created all of these articles also created a string of other "list of" articles, all of which lacked notability. It was another user (I assume to be an administrator) who advised to link all of these too for further investigation. So telling me I have "lack of care" before checking into the whole facts is a bad faith comment to make. Please kindly redact your remarks. Thanks you. Wes Mouse | T@lk 15:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep all The nomination's expectation of prose seems to misunderstand the nature of our lists, which mainly serve as indexes to the pages with prose on.

- Keep all. The Vogue and I-D lists for sure, based on the substantial evidence presented of their notability. I see no case for deleting List of Russian fashion models although it probably needs to be limited to clearly notable entries. There has been less discussion about Numéro and Russian Maxim, and I suppose a "no consensus" close (i.e., a close without prejudice to more focused AfDs if desired) would be a reasonable alternative outcome for those two. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:58, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Obviously this discussion has been heavily disrupted by puppetry of some description, but not all "Keep" opinions were of that variety.

Below, Joseph2302, SmartSE and Timtrent (signature "Fiddle Faddle") raise the question of possible IP-sockpuppetry in this discussion, so I have investigated the three IP addresses used here. 213.229.101.59 and 43.245.164.116 are proxy servers, both operated by the same company, while 99.232.13.165 is a Virtual private network. Considering the editing history of the IP addresses, together with that of the creator of the article, who is indefinitely blocked, I don't think there can be much doubt that the IP addresses are being used (a) to evade a block, and (b) to give the spurious impression of support from several independent editors. It is also possible that the use of three IP addresses that geolocate to three different places may be a deliberate attempt to increase the appearance of being three separate and independent people.

When this was accepted at WP:AFC it was 'ok', that is it had a better that 60% chance in the accepting reviewer's mind that it would survive a deletion discussion. This is what reviewers are, generally, asked to do.
Today it is a bloated piece of appalling advertorial, probably by a paid editor, certainly with WP:COI. This advert needs to be removed. Wikipedia is not the place to promote your corporation or its products. Use your own web site for that.

- Keep - it's a fairly sizeable company with large revenue and looks like offices in multiple countries. Received significant coverage. If it's too promotional, edit away. —МандичкаYO 😜 09:37, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete It is true that the article is promotional, but as the comment above rightly says, that can be dealt with by editing, but, more importantly, there is also no evidence that the subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which is not so easily dealt with.
- First of all, to answer some points given as reasons for "keep". Wikipedia's notability criteria are not based on such matters as how "sizeable" a company is, or how large its revenue is. It is perfectly possible to propose changes to Wikipedia's notability criteria, but this discussion will be assessed by its closing administrator on the basis of the current guidelines.
- The majority of the references are links to pieces in very local newspapers (e.g. Keighley News) or, in some cases, in trade publications (e.g. insidermedia.com). Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) says "Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". At first glance, there appear to be a few bits of coverage in more significant publications, such as the Yorkshire Post (a newspaper based in Leeds, which is a significant city, unlike Keighley, though it does not, as its title suggests, cover the whole of Yorkshire) and the Daily Mail (a national newspaper). However, closer examination shows that such coverage is not substantial: for example, an article in the Yorkshire Post merely gives a one-sentence mention of Acorn Mobility, and the Daily Mail article does not even mention Acorn Mobility at all. (The Wikipedia article claims that in the advertisement referred to in the newspaper article, a stairlift made by Acorn is used, but the newspaper article cited as a source does not say so. Even if a source could be found which does say so, the fact that an advertising company happened to use a particular make of stairlift in making an advertisement for a product unrelated to that company would not be evidence of notability of that company.) Many other sources do not actually support significant content of the article either. Most of the news coverage is also just reporting of individual incidents, such as an announcement of a factory closure, in which there are a few mentions of the fact that Acorn is the owner of the company of the company owning the factory.
- Several of the references are clearly promotional, some directly (encouraging us to buy Acorn products), most more indirectly: for example, several of them are news write-ups of events which are clearly publicity-seeking exercises by the company: you organise some event such as a visit to your business by a local politician, or a donation to a charity, and you make sure you send a press-release to the local newspapers, which are virtually bound to publish them, because that is one of the main ways local papers get copy. Other sources are not independent, such as a page at www.wkeowntrust.co.uk, which begins with the sentence "The William Keown Trust is pleased to announce that we have become partners with leading stair lift manufacturer, Acorn Lifts."
- All in all, the pattern of references I see is typical of what happens when an article is written by a paid editor, who knows enough about how Wikipedia works to realise that providing dozens of references is a good way of making it look superficially as though the subject is notable. What you do is collect dozens of sources which have some connection with the subject of the article, never mind how significant or relevant the sources are, and scatter then about in the article. Most probably nobody will ever check them all and realise that the references don't actually show notability. See WP:BOMBARD for a longer account of this practice. None at all of the references can be regarded as substantial coverage in a reliable independent source. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

- Yes, of course a factory closure constituents a noteworthy event, and of course it is not advertising. However, a newspaper report on the closure of a factory which just mentions that a particular company owns the company which owns the factory is not substantial coverage of the company which owns the other one, and it is such substantial coverage which is required to show notability.

- The Arthritis Foundation offers a commendation to products that are proven to make life easier for those with arthritis and other physical limitations. Read more here] for more information about it if you like. [29] Accorn lifts has recieved this commendation [30]. No other stairlift company seems to have. Dailymail [31], ITV [32], and BBC [33] recently covered an inquest where faulty acorn lifts where to blame. There are others but these are the most prominent in the very short search I did. Here's a small regional [34]. I'm not going to keep digging. If you're expecting sources in comparison to the Chevy Volt get real. This is a product for disabled folks. This is not a product for everyone.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 00:09, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- The fact that an organisation has given a "commendation" to a product does not, in terms of Wikipedia's notability guidelines, have any bearing on the notability of the company producing that product. If you think that should be changed, then you are, of course, free to propose amendments to those guidelines. The reports you mention on the inquest are certainly national coverage, but they are essentially national coverage of the inquest, and while mentions of the company that made the faulty stairlift are included, the articles are not substantially about the company. The fact that a company's product once led to a fatal accident, while certainly newsworthy, does not make that company generally notable. You say "If you're expecting sources in comparison to the Chevy Volt get real. This is a product for disabled folks. This is not a product for everyone." I assume that what you mean by that is something like "of course there aren't substantial sources for this product of interest only to a limited audience, but there's as much coverage as you can expect for such a subject." If you do mean something like that, then the answer is that Wikipedia's notability guidelines require substantial coverage, not coverage which is "as much as you can expect for a subject which is never going to get substantial coverage". The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:09, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- While this is called a "commendation" it is specifically an award. I provided links to further information on this commendation. To get this commendation it has to meet certain standards and it is tested. These are not mere mentions is passing in the articles about the inquest. You assume? Well don't. Dell doesn't get as much coverage as Apple. Velocity Micro gets less than either. But the standard is wp:corp and a part of that is WP:AUD. WP:AUD makes it clear that the local sources cut it but they do not cut it alone. It's required that at least one international, national, or regional source. The BBC, ITV, and Daily mail source that you argue are about the inquest are more than simple mentions in passing of Acorn mobility. They do constitute significant. One of those along with the local media coverage shows that this is a notable subject.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 18:38, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

- Delete Winning such low level poker events does not make one notable. The essay on poker notability probably needs to be updated to reflect the more stringent guildeines for notability on Wikipedia in the 2010s as opposed to the 2000s, caused by a realization that when articles on people who did in 1846 could sit for years in the living people category because no one even bothered to give a remote sense of time to the person, we needed to shore up the expanse of biographical articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

As per WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball Ians18 (talk) 07:03, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Three different tech/news websites are already provided that demonstrate notability for this upcoming device. WP:CRYSTAL states "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation." This article is not unverifiable speculation; rather, it is verifiable speculation. Point number 1 states "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." The three different sources are sufficient to demonstrate that the device and its future release are notable. Given that this is a Microsoft product that is provisionally scheduled to take place later this year, I believe that the device is indeed almost certain to be released. Actually, given the high profile of Microsoft and the potential interest in this device, I am inclined to think that even if the device is cancelled, its cancellation should be included in the article and the device would remain notable.

- Delete For goodness sakes... Clearly this is pure rumor. Not to mention the content is almost entirely pointless technically. For example, "Surface Pro 4 will be run on Intel x86 Broadwell or Skylake i5 or i7 CPU." That just about the entire list of realistically possible CPUs for ANY Intel-based system announced in the next year.

- Keep and redirect to Microsoft Surface. I believe it is logical that another version of the Surface Pro line is in the works, but as of now, this is pure speculation, which doesn't belong on Wikipedia. It would be profitable to maintain the history of this page for future recreation, in the event that it is officially announced and released. Otherwise, an article on the subject is not yet fully warranted. Thank you, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 07:01, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
- Redirect to Microsoft Surface. There is undoubtedly a good deal of media coverage on this, but certain information does not seem to be available. For instance, if you check the second page of results, there are articles stating that this product may never be released at all. Although, as Ceradon said above, it would be good to preserve the page's history in the event that the product is actually released, as of now it does not justify a separate article. --Biblioworm 16:57, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

citypopulated American place amended, see below has some sort of law enforcement agency, if being a city then it's usually amended, see below a police department, nothing to mention or to merge, there being no info. Kraxler (talk) 16:44, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- (1) No coverage? It is blindingly obvious to anyone who can use a search engine that there is coverage. Perhaps you meant to argue that the coverage, whose mere existence cannot be denied, is not 'significant'. (2) The size of a department can be grounds for keeping it. (3) Many cities do not have police departments. Paramilitary police forces of this type were invented in the nineteenth century and could potentially be regarded as a historical anomaly. Cities that existed before then will not have had one. Even today, English cities, with the exception of London, do not have police departments. English police forces are generally county-wide organisations. City-wide departments could be a purely American institution. James500 (talk) 02:12, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
- I amended my rationale, although I think it was clear that I was talking about present day American cities. If there's any coverage of the subject anywhere, then just add a source/ref/link here. I used the search engines and it became blindingly bviously that there was no coverage. Remember that WP:ORGDEPTH requires in-depth coverage of the police department itself, not a trivial, passing mention of it. And the size (180+ employees) is in this case rather indicating insignificance. Kraxler (talk) 13:42, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete and Redirect (perhaps a very selective Merge per Northamerican1000) - not enough significant non-routine coverage to justify a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
