Bringing here for more eyes for a discussion. I've already done WP:BEFORE, this seems to be WP:OR. A google scholar search for the term only yields results related to a single book (Revolutionary empire: the rise of the English-speaking empires from the fifteenth century to the 1780s) which doesn't use the term as this article suggests, it's simple saying the English-speaking empires were "revolutionary" in that they were different from previous empires, it's using "revolutionary" as an adjective, not "revolutionary empire" as a term denoting a sub-type of empire. The only other source to even use the term is a book by a professor of religious studies, not an expert in poli sci (WP:FRINGE), (WP:UNDUE). Most, if not all, the "what links here" pages are previous versions of articles in which the creator of this article tried to insert a link and was promptly reverted as OR or Fringe. William Thweatt TalkContribs 00:21, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Doesn't seem to be an accepted type of government; it's just simply "revolutionary" as an adjective describing "empire". I've removed it from Template:Government type too. Ansh666 01:32, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable season for phoenix club in fourth tier non-professional football league. No coverage beyond WP:ROUTINE. Per consensus here and here, amongst many others, such articles fail WP:NSEASONS. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 21:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep. The scale of the media coverage covering rangers first season post-drop was staggering. Please, no more of these attempts to characterise as 'non-notable' one of the biggest sports stories of recent years. I'm an Englishman who doesnt even LIKE football but I know this is notable! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 21:57, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Rangers are not a phoenix club and there is one thing for sure this article and any other about the club meets WP:GNG. Rangers don't play in fourth tier they play in the third. Suggest user is trying to make a point rather than this being a valid nomination, her views re the club have been made very clear in discussions previously and her view that Rangers are a pheonix club is not the consensus view here on Wikipedia nor the general view of sources in the media.Blethering Scot 21:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- A very quick google search shows plenty of additional sources to prove article would meet WP:GNG. So not only is nominator trying to make a disruptive point they have not carried out WP:BEFORE.Blethering Scot 22:03, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Keep - not the first time the nominator has ignored the Wikipedia user consensus on the status of Rangers F.C. The continual mention of 'phoenix club' by Clavdia chauchat is unsourced, patent nonsense. All 42 senior teams in Scottish football in season 2012-13 have a season article, see: Template:2012–13 in Scottish football. Cheers, VanguardScot 23:20, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Week Keep would rather see an article on the whole league season as this has the appearance of a Excessive listings of statistics especially the Squad information and Squad statistics sections, those sections need to be sourced and the a WP:RS provide for them flags or they fail WP:BLP and must be removed. LGA talkedits 04:17, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Several issues with this nomination, primarily the fundamental logical fallacy that "phoenix club = GNG failure" - that needs a lot more substantiation that the nom has provided. Secondly, although, along with a large number of the other league seasons noted in the template link above, techinally this seem a clear WP:NSEASONS failure due to not being a club in a "top professional league", there does appear to be a degree of consensus established that all Scottish teams are notable enough for season articles. Personally, i would disagree, there is little more than WP:ROUTINE coverage and seemingly clear contraventions of WP:NOT#STATS in a large number of them, which arguably need to be dealt with; but the place for that would be at WT:FOOTY to establish a consensus for Scottish football teams, as is being done here for English teams, not through a random AfD. Fenix down (talk) 12:43, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. There's no doubt that Rangers' first season after the change of status is notable. It received huge coverage, considerably more than the largely domestic routine coverage it's getting so far this season in the higher division now the novelty's worn off. What would be nice is if this article used some of it to talk about the season. There are pages and pages and pages of tables, much duplication of information, three match report links for each match, a totally insane number of MoS-violating flags, and eight (8) lines of prose. That's a touch unbalanced... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:20, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - has received sufficient coverage. GiantSnowman 12:23, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - this subject passes the general notability guideline even if we only took Norwegian sources into consideration ([1] [2]). But LGA and Struway has some good points - the excessive listing of statistics should be trimmed and more prose should be added, but that could be discussed on the talk-page.

Non-notable author lacking Ghits and GNews of substance. His book has won a couple of minor awards, but not sure the book passes WP:NOTBOOK. reddogsix (talk) 21:01, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I've found a number of secondary sources: Interviews [3], [4], [5], [6] his most well know book Sand Dollar has a good few reviews [7], [8], [9]--Salix (talk): 22:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The only problem is that the sources you've given are all by places that are considered to be non-notable blog sites. The ForeWord review would be somewhat usable, except that it's reviewed through Clarion Review, which is their "fee-for-review" arm. That means that essentially that review was paid for by the publisher or author, which makes the review completely unusable for notability purposes. I'll see what I can find, but we can't use any of those sources for notability purposes. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:31, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The award from Foreword is also dodgy and I'm actually going to say that after reading this I'd probably recommend not using anything from ForeWord Reviews. The award would be considered minor in any case, but that they pretty much tell people to "spend some money to advertise your award" indicates that it's pretty much a vanity award for the most part.Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:36, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete both. I did search for sources, but there just isn't any coverage in anything that would be seen as a reliable source. The awards are minor and the ForeWord award is somewhat dodgy since they pretty much hit the publisher/author up for money on the same page where they announce the winners. That gives off a distinct vanity award scent, as the more reputable awards don't do that sort of thing. The sources listed above are all otherwise through sites that are blogs and otherwise unusable as reliable sources, such as in the case of the ForeWord/Clarion review being a "fee for review" puppy. The only source that I found that was somewhat usable was this story about a signing event from a local paper, which means that it's greatly depreciated as far as notability going is concerned. There just isn't enough out there to show that he or his book passes notability guidelines for authors or books. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:44, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete book and author Awards are vanity awards and reviews are vanity reviews ie. self-published unreliable. One legitimate review in Cranston Herald, the author's hometown, not enough. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:12, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or Incubate or Userfy without prejudice for undeletion or recreation when consensus decides it ready. Because the topic of a sequel film has a GREAT deal of coverage in multiple reliable sources (see above alt find sources) ... it's almost enough to qualify as a reasonable exception per WP:NFF's cautions and instructions requiring that production plans for an as-yet-unmade film must be found as notable in order for those plans to merit a separate article. And yes, we do occasionally allow speculative article on unmade film under policy and guideline, but only rarely and only after much discussion and (sorry) angst. Under policy instructions the topic may certainly be discussed in other related articles, but let's revisit this topic in about a year. Let's get a little closer to filming date when we have a little less rumor and a lot more fact. Heck, we can even wait until the final title is decided upon.

Clint Eastwood at the 2012 Republican National Convention

First of all, I don't actually want to see this article outright deleted. Rather, I think it constitutes WP:UNDUE coverage and would rather see it redirected to 2012 Republican National Convention#Thursday, August 30: Eastwood, Rubio and Romney. I boldly carried this out myself, per WP:D-R a little over a month ago. It stood as a redirect until earlier today.
This event shows no indication of WP:LASTING significance. The volume of media attention it received at the time makes it appropriate to cover in a larger article (indeed, it already is). So I'm proposing deletion. Well, kind of. --BDD (talk) 18:10, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep - This was arguably the most covered speech of any in 2012, including even Mitt Romney's convention speech. Colossally passes WP:GNG. The nom's claim there is no "lasting significance" is just original research speculation and not supported by any source. There's "no indication of lasting significance" of Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner and that became a Wikipedia Main Page Featured Article! In contrast, as many sources say, Romney was upstaged by this speech [13][14][15] in what was supposed to be Romney's most important speech of the election. Karl Rove said this speech was one of the major contributing factors in Romney losing the election.[16]. No lasting significance? Redirecting this would bring WP:UNDUE weight of this speech in the convention article. --Oakshade (talk) 20:01, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This incident received WP:INDEPTH coverage from reliable sources and passes WP:GNG. I'm not seeing the argument that this article is WP:UNDUE, as it incorporates a broad spectrum of viewpoints. As an event, the coverage has had WP:PERSISTENCE, with reporting continuing through 2013. It even has its own internet meme. As a political moment, I believe this incident meets WP:LASTING because it is among the most invoked events from the 2012 Republican campaign season when blame is laid for the loss. The fact that a controlled media environment like a convention can be upturned by a speech is a lesson that will loom large for future conventions. That the Chair of the RNC keeps the chair in his office as a piece of political memorabilia is telling. Gobōnobō + c 04:19, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/Redirect While it was an important part of the RNC I think as the nominator states that it should be part of the article on the RNC with a possible redirect to that portion, however I don't see it as a stand-a-lone topic. It was covered as part of RNC coverage, and if not part of the RNC I'm not sure it would have gotten the attention it did. Caffeyw (talk) 07:17, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- A very notable event doesn't suddenly become non-notable or not pass WP:GNG just because it was in conjunction with another. The 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address isn't non-notable just because it was covered "in part" of the 2004 DNC coverage. Like with this speech, that had a great amount of stand-alone coverage with coverage primarily about that speech. WP:GNG doesn't prejeduce against how something become notable, it's concerned if something is notable. --Oakshade (talk) 19:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROD deletion was contested on the grounds that Purpura had received a Guggenheim Fellowship, but I don't believe that that demonstrates notability as that fellowship is awarded to hundreds of authors annually. The article tries hard to make it look as though she is notable, but all of the awards seem to be local or very niche—for example the Beatrice Hawley Award was awarded by Alice James Books for a book published by, guess who, Alice James Books—and the sources in the article and found by the Google News search above all seem to be announcement of local readings etc., nothing that meets the requirements of WP:AUTHOR.

- Tammytoons (talk) 23:29, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Tammytoons[reply]
- Strong Keep -- I generally agree with Phil Bridger, but I disagree on the overall conclusion he gives here (though I agree on the specific case of the Beatrice Hawley Award not being enough in itself). As a point of fact, the Guggenheim is not given to hundreds of writers a year. This year it was given to 197 researchers and creative professionals in all fields, about 30 of them tend to be writers of any sort and 5-10 are poets. But the numbers aren't the most important thing (in most recent years there have been 9 nobel science laureates -- that doesn't determine how many scientist bios we add per year); the fact is the Guggenheim is a major prize in poetry, one that guarantees tenure at almost every American university. Three books of poetry (two from very important poetry presses) and a triple Pushcart winner are very substantial accomplishments. Put with publications in the New Yorker and New Republic (if you're used to evaluating scientists, think of these as first authored articles in Science and Nature) and a series of other top venues (Iowa Review, Antioch Review, Paris Review, Ploughshares, Parnassus) and it's a staggering set of notable awards and accomplishments. This is a much higher set of accomplishments than we generally require for scientists (being at the edge of the arts and computer science, I see job candidates from both sides often); we shouldn't let the generally admitted dearth of biographies for poets and other creative artists on WP cause us to think that the smaller number that do have articles here represent the lower bar on exceptional talent. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:48, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Add to this that her work has been the subject of multiple independent reviews: : Rough Likeness by Lia Purpura: -- Kenyon Review Star Tribune Sonora Review The Diagram; many more on her website -- most of the links no longer work, but are confirmed through a JSTOR, Worldcat, or other library searches. This is the sort of independent notability in the field that both the GNG and WP:WRITER are built around. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:54, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. According to the Guggenheim Foundation her essays have won the Pushcart Prize four times (her cv says three, but either way). It may not be quite what WP:PROF#C5 intends, but she's held named visiting professorships at the Universities of Alabama and Iowa. Along with abundant literary journal reviews of her books, I found a few newspaper articles covering her or her work in nontrivial depth: [17] [18] [19]. (Also three reviews in Publishers Weekly [20] [21] [22], which is not itself a small press). So I think she's received enough attention outside her own milieu to pass WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. As David Eppstein notes, the awards that Purpura has won are substantial and significant (the Guggenheim in particular is one of the most significant fellowships given to living writers), and, more importantly, they collectively (between the NEA and the Guggenheim and her Pushcarts and her nomination for a National Book Critics Circle Award, Purpura has received a large proportion of the awards for which living American writers are eligible; this is even more impressive considering she is fairly early in her career) point to a major and growing reputation in American Letters, not just as a poet, but as an essayist. -- Ander Monson (talk) 04:44, 5 September 2013 (UTC) — Angermonsoon (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Neutral not sure about this one. The article claims that "One of earliest mecha designs in the Real Robot genre" ... "became the inspiration for various artillery fire-support mecha in other mecha anime and games." If this really is a pioneering design then there might be some notability.

- Strong keep. I added six refs to support the stub article, including the NY Times, Fodor's guidebook, the Atlantic Magazine, and several books. There are plenty of other references out there, it clearly meets WP:GNG. References refer to it as not only the first authentic tearoom in San Francisco, but in the entire United States. GregJackP Boomer! 17:37, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The added references really improve the article, and the company seems notable enough. However it really needs to be expanded. Ensignricky Talk 20:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I added a few more references - it has gotten some notice locally (the article didn't mention that they are no longer in Chinatown, but in two other locations). But I am torn on this one. My problem is, I don't believe the hype about being "the first authentic tearoom in San Francisco's Chinatown". I grew up in the Bay Area and this sounds to me like BS, possibly based on a self-serving definition of "authentic". The place has only been in business since 1993 (according to one source) or 1983 (according to another source), so "first" seems very unlikely. The claim has three references, but two are not checkable online and the third doesn't seem to mention them; in any case, sources will probably just repeat what the owners told them. So chalk me up as skeptical about this place, despite it having garnered a few local reviews. --MelanieN (talk) 22:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Try these refs: [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], and [35]. It may be hype, but it is well sourced. GregJackP Boomer! 23:21, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, almost half of those references do say "first traditional Chinese tea house" or something equivalent. Like there was never a "traditional Chinese tea house" in the 150-year history of San Francisco Chinatown? Color me still skeptical. I am not calling for deletion because this place does seem to have sufficient coverage, but I can't bring myself to say "keep". --MelanieN (talk) 03:49, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The added sources and the references listed here all appear to be run of the mill reviews and guidebook entries for a local restaurant. I agree with Melanie's skepticism that a city with San Francisco's long association with the Chinese-American community cannot have waited until 1993 for its first "authentic teahouse" to open. I suspect that "fact" is just so much advertising hype that has been accepted unquestioningly by the review and guidebook writers. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 10:57, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Just so I understand, he has published work that has been cited. WP:PROF#C1's section on "citation metrics" refers to the "h index" but doesn't offer benchmarks (from what I saw). So how high an h index should it be? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 10:43, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There are no benchmarks, because citation rates are field-dependent. Mathematics, for example, is a low-citation-density field. 1000 citations and an h of 15 or so would be excellent. Boinformatics, genomics, etc are high-citation density fields and the same figures would be borderline there. Takes some experience to interpret those figures. Also, low values should not be taken as proof of non-notability (how can you prove that anyway, there's always the chance that there are somewhere some good sources that you didn't find), but high values an be taken as proof of having considerable impact on ones field. Hope this helps a bit. --Randykitty (talk) 10:54, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There has been much discussion of this matter in Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics) and its archives. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:24, 31 August 2013 (UTC).[reply]
- It does, thank you. Well, based on what I see here, I suppose to editors who work a lot with academic bio articles this was at first blush an A7, though it didn't appear that way to me. Perhaps what I might do in the future in a case like this is despeedy but immediately PROD, in cases where I still don't believe it's sufficiently blatantly non-notable. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 11:13, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you were correct in de-speedying this, as the article does contain what can be construed as claims for notability ("director of a core service", "numerous" publications, etc).

- Keep - I can see there are quite evidently major clean-up issues, for example verification issues about the winners list and removal of some WP:PUFF. However, the nominator should know full well that the Guardian critic does not say this is an unimportant award, in fact he says it is "the most important comic talent contest in the country". A cursory search reveals several high quality news sources about the competition and, considering the participants and the notoriety of the venue, there will no doubt be others since the event commenced. Sionk (talk) 12:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep (possibly purging). We do not allow award categories, preferring lists. The converse is that the lists should be allowed.

- Weak keep or redirect to Vikram Bhatt with history. This has gotten quite a bit of coverage, but at the same time is a little lighter than I'd like for an upcoming film. It's considered to be a decent amount of coverage for an Indian film when you take into consideration how their media covers films and actors, but if this isn't kept then I think it should redirect to Bhatt's article with the history intact. It's likely that this will get more coverage as the release date grows closer, although I know that this is no guarantee. In any case I suggest Bhatt since almost all of the media focus so far has been centered on him moreso than anyone else involved in the movie. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Film is to release in two weeks (i'ts completed) and has enough coverage to meet WP:GNG now and will meet WP:NF in 2 weeks. User:Tokyogirl79's suggestion of redirect would be far more sensible if this were to release in 4 months rather than in two weeks. WP:NFF requires completion ( Done!) and ample coverage ( Done!).

- Speedy keep and comment: The nomination has not followed WP:BEFORE. Their two concerns are a) non-notable film (a simple search proves its notability) b) film will release in one month — which is a reason to keep and not to delete. Editors think nom's AFD are creating lots of unnecessary work. So, few suggestions, you have nominated the film's article because it is not going to release in next 2 weeks, but actually Bollywood film articles are written much before their releases. There are many articles where the films are not going to release in next 6—8 months or more.

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, especially for made-up definitions and "facts". Clarityfiend (talk) 04:06, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep
Keepbut substantially re-purpose. I don't think the term is "made up", I just think the article is contextually incorrect. There are plenty of references for raiders (in the piratical sense) employed by the Confederacy during the American Civil War (like this, this and this) but most reference a "Confederate Navy" or "pirate-like" raiders as distinct from an activity associated with The Golden Age of Piracy and the like (which is where the article sits with references to "plunder"). These were far more military-minded groups under the direct command of military personnel. We already have Quantrill's Raiders which covers a particular group of such raider/pirates under a particular commander. As it stands, the article is pretty bogus and the nominator was right to bring it here. But I'm happy to adopt it and do what needs to be done. Stalwart111 05:10, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply. Confederate Navy raiders were not pirates, nor were land-based units. Plus we already have Commerce raiding. The current title and contents are useless. Anything useful would have to be built from the ground up anyway. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:16, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Absolutely - don't disagree with most of that. We also have Confederate States Navy#Privateers which could probably be expanded too. We're probably more accurately looking at a WP:TNT situation but I'm happy to do the work to start from scratch. I think the tactics used and the prior use during the War of Independence probably give us enough for an article. Quantrill's were certainly not "pirates" in any real sense of the word (being land-based). But the North certainly referred to Confederate raiders as "pirates" ([40]) - it's just a question of whether we should make the same distinction and also cover the non-Confederate WoI "raider" history too. I think there's a space for it but I'm happy to discuss it. Stalwart111 05:31, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Worth pointing out, too, that Commerce raiding#American Civil War refers to commerce raiders hired by the Confederacy as being distinct from privateers, though sources suggest both privateer raiders and naval commerce raiders were employed. It would be the former that I would see being covered by this title as Commerce raiding covers the latter. Stalwart111 05:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, I've had a bit of a play around with the text of the article and have added some stuff that I could find in reliable sources. Having done some work, I'm probably at weak keep. There's definitely a distinction, I think, between the commerce raiders aiming to work within the Declaration of Paris and the piratical raiders hijacking ships and using them for other purposes (an act of piracy in the traditional sense). But where I've got the article at now is a bit WP:SYNTH and it's not all that great. I can promise further work but I won't fight to the death to keep it.

- Delete The article doesn't really take us beyond the dictionary definition "a person who raids." Of course raids can be done by pirates and other criminals, irregular and regular military forces, as well as by the police, and others. Historical types of raiders should have their own articles, as well as notable individual raiders. However I don't see a need for an overall article on all types of raiders, or even pirate raiders. If a pirate didn't raid he really wouldn't be a pirate. We already have the articles Raid and Piracy. Borock (talk) 17:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak KeepEverything here is basically covered in the pirate article. - Delete - Borock puts it well. This term is used mainly as a synonym for privateer and/or pirate - the terms and the articles are essentially the same thing, so no need to have another article on it; redirect is useless because of disambig.

- Keep The list of drummers is quite large and so it makes sense to have more selective lists such as the list of jazz drummers too. Particular entries such as Lori Barbero don't appear in the larger list and a merger would then exclude the possibility of deletion per WP:MAD. Female drummers are considered by sources as a distinctive group. For example, see 'Not bad - for a girl' which states that "women drummers still struggle to be taken seriously". Deleting our list of them would be a contemptuous action in this context. Note that there is a magazine dedicated to the topic with the clever name of Tom Tom. And there's plenty of coverage in books from When the Drummers Were Women to Gender in the Music Industry: Rock, Discourse and Girl Power. The topic therefore passes WP:LISTN. Warden (talk) 11:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The size of the list is no argument at all. Might as well divvy drummers up by age or ethnicity, or sexual preference. That Barbero is not in the "main" list is easily fixed--wait, I just did. Now, I am perfectly happy to accept that there are fewer women drummers than men drummers, but that in itself is no argument to divide them, and there are lots of arguments against them, none of which seem to be anticipated here. For instance, should List of drummers include boys AND girls? Just boys, since there is a list of female drummers? But if so, aren't we excluding female drummers from "drummers", essentially ghettoizing them? (Anyone remember Category:Female novelists?) And how does having a separate list serve the purpose of promoting equality--how? and was that our mission? BTW, I foresee that if Bradley Manning takes up drumming we might need yet another list.
My main problem here, besides the ghettoizing by gender (and you can look that up), is that no argument is given in the article for its existence. And look at Drummer--if you want us to refrain from "contemptuous action", maybe you should re-write that article, bringing up the issues and their sources. Without any actual text on gender and drumming, this is just a lot of hot air and helps advance no one's cause. (And I note that none of the proponents of keeping this list have been bothered to turn their activist interest into verified text.) Drmies (talk) 23:17, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, I didn't copy it from the list: I copied it from your text here (note that I didn't include the band she's in, cause you didn't, and my summary indicates I got it from you; I don't think you ever edited the article).

Delete.This just isn't a notable book. I can see where Crash had some limited involvement as some of her songs are on the soundtrack, but I don't see where this is actually an official book for the movie in any context. IF it can be proved that the book is an official tie-in or it gets any actual coverage in relation to the movie (it gets mentioned in press for the movie, etc) then it could be added to that article in the future. I'm just hesitant about adding a non-notable person's self-published book to an article when you figure that the book isn't an official part of the film and was "inspired by" the movie itself. For that matter, I'm kind of leaning towards redirecting the film to the director's page if we can't find enough sources to show that the film passes WP:NFF.

1) I think this would have been best handled under a single nomination, since five similar articles have been nominated for deletion. 2)I don't think it's right to delete them just because there aren't many characters listed. I think it's possible to improve on them, but also they could probably be merged with adjoining years. I don't understand the comment "nor do I think we couldn't just list every single character in the Lists of characters article", and as for Clarityfiend's comment that List of Coronation Street characters is in chronological order, that only lists the present characters, and List of past Coronation Street characters is in alphabetical order. –anemoneprojectors– 09:52, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have some free time and some resources that might help, so I could take one of the lists and see what I can do with it. The purpose of these lists is to stop poorly sourced and developed articles from being created too soon. We can build up the character's entry in the list first, then when there's enough info, we can split them off.

- Keep or Merge: I think that there is potential for something here. Me and a fellow editor have put some work in and what we have found is that despite the characters being written and developed in the 60's/70's - there is information and signs of improvement. All that is needed here is work. So we can certainly offer help with that and keep improving. If certain years are not as notable or there is not enough information recovered at this time they can always be merged to form a grouped list as suggested by others here.Rain the 1 22:08, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merging them into the main Coronation Street page makes no sense either because the chronological character lists exist for other years and there is no place in that article for character descriptions. Doing this would made the main article way too cluttered. Did you even look at the Coronation Street page?

Non notable subject. Gipsey Row is a tiny hamlet within Wenham Magna Parish. It has no real notability, there is not a lot that could be written about it anyway. I have searched and searched for information and history to add to the article, but I can't find anything. The only reference the article has is an atlas, just the prove the place even exists. The sensible option would be to delete the page and include Gipsy Row as a section within it's parish's page (Wenham Magna). This is in-keeping with the majority of other small hamlets who have no notability and about which not a lot can be said Rushton2010 (talk) 18:42, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Nine articles regarding Howard County Executives/Commissioners/Councilmen have been recommended for deletion based on not meeting only one of the three polices in WP:Politician by User:MilaPedia with an account created 9 August 2013.
A banner was posted using the “proposed deletion/dated format, with concern = Article fails Notability - WP:Politician Subject has never held Statewide Office”
WP:Politition states- 1. Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. This also applies to those who have been elected to such offices but have not yet been sworn in. 2. Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. 3. Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". In the case of candidates for political office who do not meet this guideline, the general rule is to redirect to an appropriate page covering the election or political office sought in lieu of deletion. Relevant material from the biographical article can be merged into the election or political office page if appropriate.
The banner stated - If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. Although not required, you are encouraged to explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, do not replace it
Following the specific instructions, the concern was met by meeting section 3 of WP:POLITICIAN by additionally citing each article from a book, in addition to existing citations. The notation was marked in the summary, and the AFS tag removed as instructed. The following entry was posted on MilaPedia’s talk - Thank you MilaPedia for your efforts to make sure all new articles related specifically to Howard County Elected Officials are to be deleted. The articles are works in progress, however each has been significantly cited from a variety of sources which meet criteria #3 of WP Politician (listed below). Some of the articles recommended for deletion are politicians that have also sought higher office and are also notable for their influence in their respective fields. In addition, the guidance clearly states alternatives to AFD "deletion" as a first step. I hope you will direct your future efforts toward expanding and improving these articles with accurate information and relevant citations.
Recommendations were given in Lieu of deletion. Six of the same articles were recommended for deletion again August 14, 2013 with the following notation – "Article fails Notability - WP:Politician Subject has never held Statewide Office, as well as WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV - Press coverage is all local and trivial. WP:PROD removed without explanation." Each article is in progress, and has been well-cited by a variety of sources, and extra care has been taken to exclude the extensive amount of voting history and procedure that may be considered trivial or not independent of the subject. Although notability is subjective, each is relevant in the history of a rural county that became one of the 10 wealthiest counties in America during their terms and provides supporting information to historical articles. Notification was provided to the user, and noted in summaries. The AFD’s recommended are very specific with similar articles in the same categories not facing the same scrutiny, such as Janet S. Owens or Calvin Ball, III. FlugKerl (talk) 15:32, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Note Vote Posted Below to correct copy/pasted error - Fails notability. Apparently someone believes that being a county executive/board member qualifies people to have a page of their own. Lack of any references where the person is named as anything other then "candidate" or simply listed as holding said office.

It's not a multiple "vote" it's to clarify that fact for you and a few others that didn't like it being copy/pasted despite having the same issues, on subjects similarly situated. It was suggested that I post a clear message for each one to ensure any complaints about copy/pasting where overcome. I thus did as requested, however this seems to be evolving into a discussion on copy/paste. No one seems to be posting a comment on the actual issue, instead copy/paste has taken it's place.

RedirectMerge to band's page. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:27, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Redirect and merge to band's page. This record may actually have borderline notability--it does have a few reviews--but not so much that it demands its own page. However, I don't understand the claim that "redirect is useless" or "confusing"; if anything, deleting this title will be more confusing for the user who's looking for this band and instead gets directed to This Is Why We Don't Have Nice Things by Every Avenue. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:42, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to the band's page per WP:NALBUMS. We don't need a redirect because nobody is ever going to type in the title, complete with "(album)" on the end, apart from hardcore Wikipedians. The confusion can be resolved by adding

- Weak delete. His piece at the Venice Biennale may actually be notable [43] [44]. But the article as it stands is in such bad shape that WP:TNT may be warranted. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:12, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Need I remind people that neither a conflict of interest nor an article being "indulgent dross" are reasons for deletion? I would agree with David Eppstein that the article may require a complete rewrite to bring it up to standards, but articles in the LA Times, Il Giornale, Express India and Telegraph and possibly some Chinese-language publications establish notability as does the artist's exhibition record. There appear to be a number of other WP:RSs that further help pass both WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. The conflict of interest can be dealt with and the "dross" can be edited out. If the book Personal Structures: Time-Space-Existence can be verified to include substantial material on the artist (I can't find a table of contents or index online), that would also go towards firmly establishing notability but I believe that is already established by the other sources available. freshacconci talk to me 15:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I spawned this article out of Lineal championship because a user was constantly amending that article to reflect their opinion that the CBZ list is somehow a definitive list of lineal champions. See Talk:Lineal championship#rm lists, and revisions 563369247, 567998686 et seq. I have no opinion on its notability, though it does have input from something called the "International Boxing Research Organization". I personally don't care if it's deleted, but presumably the user who wants its data listed at Lineal championship would be even less happy to see it removed altogether from Wikipedia, while I would hate to see it being given the implicit Wikipedia approval of being on the main lineal championship page. Perhaps an alternative to deleting the page would be moving it to Cyber Boxing Zone. Category:Boxing websites is pretty thin at the moment. jnestorius(talk) 11:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There's nothing that shows this list is any more WP notable than a list I'd create and put on a website (no heavyweight champion from 2004-2009?). An admittedly quick google search didn't show me significant independent coverage for CBZ. If such coverage could be found and an article on CBZ was created, then I'd be OK with merging this article into that one. However, that's a lot of IF. Jakejr (talk) 12:07, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The gaps in the lineages are not a mere oversight; they are a consequence of champions retiring or changing weight class. I have scraped together enogh references for a Cyber Boxing Zone article if you want to merge it there. jnestorius(talk) 13:16, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I had some difficulty accepting a List when there was no main supporting article. How could a list be notable when the subject is not? Since the Cyber Boxing Zone article has now been created I think the list can be kept separate or merged. I would like to see a little more added to the Cyber Boxing Zone article to make a case for notability (ie. why is it notable).Peter Rehse (talk) 20:53, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree with Peter's comment. I don't think the CBZ article shows notability--it's not even mentioned in some of the sources and there's a lack of significant independent coverage. If CBZ isn't notable then the list certainly isn't. Papaursa (talk) 00:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of sources, lack of notoriety.
The game has no notoriety. As the editor doesn't publish sales statistics, as the press doesn't speak of the game, I tried to guess notoriety by alternative means. During this search, it appears: (1) it doesn't get a nomination at the Independent Games Festival or any notorious indie gaming manifestation. (2) the game isn't available in torrent on The Pirate Bay or other popular trackers, whereas the smallest notorious indie games could be found (3) there are only 80 000 views on the first YouTube video returned by Google (versus 1.6 millions for the first Deus Ex Human Revolution video).
There are 16 sources on the article, 2 comprehensive reviews, 4 self-references, the other ones very short reviews. The 12 links seems to be the comprehensive directory of reviews about this game on the net. As such, even if 10 websites have reviewed the game, this is only temporary, and as such, WP:N#TEMP doesn't seem to be met.Dereckson (talk) 20:37, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep - those two "comprehensive reviews" you mention are enough to bring it above the bar IMO. Everything else you say isn't really a reason for deletion. Ansh666 01:57, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Not sure I follow the nom. He acknowledges all of the sources in the article, then links to WP:NOTTEMP and that somehow makes it so it doesn't meet the WP:GNG? Regardless, this game definitely has the coverage to have it meet the GNG. Significant coverage from sources that have been deemed reliable through consensus at WP:VG/RS includes:
- The Verge
- Rock Paper Shotgun
- PCGamer
- GameZebo
- Penny Arcade
- Kotaku
- Polygon
- I can keep going if necessary, but seriously, there is plenty of coverage out there. Sergecross73 msg me 02:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Bad nomination. Seriously, if you believe some of the reviews are comprehension, then obviously it meets the general notability guidelines. Plenty of reliable sources do cover this. Nominator is advised to learn how Wikipedia works before making more pointless deletion nominations. Dream Focus 02:21, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Yes, some indie games get more coverage, but the sources that Sergecross show that there was clear secondary coverage of the game by reliable video game web sites and thus meets the GNG with no problem. We do have to be careful with indie games as they are a dime a dozen and often self-promoted but this is not that type of case. --MASEM (t) 16:02, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
