An article should generally be about just one topic, but this one appears to be about three different definitions of one term; and a disambiguation page must not have sources in it, so is not appropriate either. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as a broad concept article per WP:DABCONCEPT. The three types of psuedo-ring are all born of the ring concept, are capable of being described in an article and need more than just links to target articles--the refs are valuable for verification of the different definitions. Hence treating this as a broad concept article seems reasonable. --Mark viking (talk) 23:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Mathematics-related deletion discussions. Everymorning (talk) 23:28, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As there seems to be evidence that the term is commonly confusable... or as common as you can get when discussing advanced mathematics. It's not really a disambiguation page, it's a page explaining that one term is used three different ways within the same field of use, and is thus confusing, even to those who use the term. That's a valuable thing to explain. With disambiguation, the same term is used by different people in different fields of use... within their field, there is no confusion as to what is meant. Here, an abstract algebraic mathematician hearing the term from another abstract algebraic mathematician would still have no clue what is being talked about unless the specific definition is laid out IN THAT CONVERSATION, and that the very next conversation might use the term with a completely different definition. Fieari (talk) 00:05, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per WP:DABCONCEPT. This term has been confusing students (and to some extent mathematicians) for many years. It is useful to document that three different beasts may hide under the same name, and to encourage people to refrain from using this ambiguous term. J.P. Martin-Flatin (talk) 08:54, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Keep as there is sufficient consensus stating that like several other cases, secondary schools are themselves in fact acceptable and notable; comments suggesting deletion were not followed by other comments or these users reconfirming their delete votes, thus another week has not suggested any other outcome (NAC).

  • Keep - Per Wikipedia:Notability (high schools). This is the reason for WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. It's a secondary school, as such, there's absolutely no reason to doubt that WP:NEXIST applies. Fieari (talk) 00:19, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • SCHOOLOUTCOMES, an essay, makes no pretense at replacing the guidelines: it explicitly references them. More importantly, the introduction to the essay reminds us that "notability is demonstrated by the mustering of evidence that an article topic is the subject of multiple instances of non-trivial coverage in trustworthy independent sources" and cautions us to "[a]void weak or illogical arguments, such as 'Notability is only an optional guideline' or 'We always keep these articles,'" WP:OUTCOMES § Citing this page in AfD, which appears to be your argument. Also, NEXIST clearly applies here: "once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface." No one, including you, has pointed to any independent sources giving the subject non-trivial coverage. (The line in the government document is the furthest thing from that.) Rebbing 02:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • You have my foundation backwards. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is sortof a summary of the result of the essay Wikipedia:Notability (high schools), which explains WHY "Keep" is always the outcome for secondary schools. I, and many many many other wikipedians, fully agree with the essay Wikipedia:Notability (high schools). In summary of Wikipedia:Notability (high schools), reliable sources are bound to exist for pretty much all secondary schools. It is a waste of bloody time to hunt them down for every AfD of a secondary school that comes our way. I'll add that this is especially the case because secondary schools are the PERFECT "Gateway Drug" for new Wikipedia editors... why should I deny a local of this school the opportunity to do the research themselves? I'm not going to do it for them. By longstanding consensus, we can be afforded the laxity to assume the sources exist. Hence, my citing WP:NEXIST. I will not budge from this position, and I believe that LONGSTANDING Wikipedia consensus backs me up here. Fieari (talk) 04:36, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Hear, hear! The deletionists here hate the consensus and try to claim there isn't one and that SCHOOLOUTCOMES is being used as a policy instead of what it actually is: a summary of consensus. Utter rubbish! -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • I see some panic here. No, Necrothesp, it is not a summary of consensus. It is a summery of the effects of loud shouting that you should keep schools without content-based arguments. But loud shouting has nothing to do with consensus and SCHOOLOUTCOMES has also nothing to do with consensus. It must be embarrassing to know that you have no content-based arguments while pleading for keep... The Banner talk 13:05, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
            • Panic? You're having a laugh, right? Maybe there's been a sudden rash of secondary school deletions? Oh no, there hasn't. Still almost none deleted at AfD. Ever. And going by the comments so far, this one won't be either. But I do love your essential pared-down argument that a consensus isn't a consensus because you don't agree with it and are convinced you're right. Most amusing. The anti-Brexit campaigners could take some handy hints from you! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - it exists, it's a secondsry school - no more is required.Eustachiusz (talk) 01:09, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - lacks sources to verify article content or that the school even exists. I have to say that I'm surprised to see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES being cited as a reason to keep, when it clearly states that sources have been required for such an outcome. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • As stated above, this government document lists it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:25, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on non-Anglophone schools. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements. Just Chilling (talk) 22:16, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I cannot download the PDF that's included here but I'm assuming it's a poxy little mention like the rest of these schools, SCHOOLOUTCOMES is great and all that however it doesn't establish the schools notability here, Anywho the PDF will at some point become dead and unarchived and then yet again it's going to be an unsourced article essentially - There's no sources on the school other than that so better off deleted . –Davey2010Talk 23:20, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Steve Quinn who has kindly provided another source to verify the schools existence, If the first source above could've somehow been archived then I'd of happily !voted keep the first time however as I said above it can't be archived, Anyway thanks Steve!, Easy keep now. –Davey2010Talk 01:05, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm not going back & fourth !voting so I'll make my !vote easier - If anyone below provides a source (other than the PDF) then Keep per my above keep comment, If not then Delete per my delete comment .... I don't want to re-!vote delete and then someone again finds something so to save the back & fourth !voting I'm doing it this way. –Davey2010Talk 16:42, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. We do need to satisfy WP:V, and there is enough to satisfy it. If we start arguing about the relative extent of coverage for high schools, there will be not just be the unfortunate result of adding a few dozen articles to afd, , but also the other half of the compromise will come into play, and there will be support for every one of the hundreds of thousands of primary schools for which one can make a case. The purpose of WP is to make an encyclopedia , not argue incessantly over how to make it. I've been consistently opposing the inclusion of articles on local institutions of most sorts as part of the compromise, but it would probably be possible to find sources not just for primary school but for fire stations and branch libraries. They're in essence part of the compromise also. DGG ( talk ) 03:53, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep First, I agree with DGG. He has pointed out that it is best to keep agreements such as - proof of existence satisfies the criteria for "keep". This is important because if we start hemming and hawing, the floodgates of having AfD discussions on local libraries, fire houses, and the like, could be opened. This is besides these locations finding a home in an article on Wikipedia simply because they exist. Both of these scenarios would put more stress on a system that is having difficulty keeping up as it is.
Second, the government document PDF shows this schools exists - satisfying the criteria for keep. Third I have two more sources: The World Heritage Encyclopedia at Project Gutenberg [1]. Scrolling down reveals the information on the image emphasized. The next is Google Maps [2]. After I plugged in the complete title (I think using the above AfD template) the map shows the location of the school. Also, the school and location are in the URL of this map.

  • Keep Sourced high school. PamD 06:11, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on sources by Steve Quinn: I think it is beneficial if we look a bit closely at these sources:
  1. Google maps is not reliable (user generated content) so I don't think we should use it for verification purpose.
  2. This World Heritage Encyclopaedia seems to be a copy from Wikipedia? The content matches our Wikipedia article word to word. I looked up more and I found this. Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing Press, also known as Project Gutenberg Consortia Center. Unlike the Gutenberg Project itself, Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing allows submission of texts never published before, including self-published ebooks. Also owns the "gutenberg.us" domain. Launched in 2012,[42][45] by 2015 became notorious for close connection[46] with one "World Public Library Association". This latter, allegedly an "aggregator of eBooks", among other, publishes a sham encyclopedia called "World Heritage Encyclopedia" made of mangled Wikipedia articles. This is not Project Gutenberg. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:53, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Lemongirl942: I didn't realize any of this. I am glad you pointed this out. I just matched two of our articles Metamaterial and Belgium with the World Heritage Encyclopedia [3], [4]. They are virtually the same. The variation of a few words is because they probably have a slightly older version. And I didn't know Google Maps is user generated. Well, back to the drawing board. I apologize for inadvertently misleading everyone. Steve Quinn (talk) 07:16, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I just noticed this discussion in the normal sweep I do for "World Heritage" mirrors. Yes, these are simple mirrors of Wikipedia content and obviously not suitable as a source for anything. They work very hard to obfuscate the nature of their material, so don't feel bad - I probably remove 10-15 links to these sites each week (there are about 40 domains from this same group). I've removed the link from the article. Kuru (talk) 14:30, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no signficant coverage by third-party sources of this topic, and this article is made up of nothing else but citations to Pitchfork, whose year-end best albums list is the topic of this article.

  • Delete General aviation fatal accidents are generally not notable. This is one of them.--Jetstreamer Talk 20:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - just one of tens of thousands of non-notable light plane accidents. We don't have articles on every car accident. - Ahunt (talk) 00:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per the above. In my opinion the crash and its aftermath are covered adequately in the Sonicblue Airways article and I actually boldly redirected an earlier iteration of the subject article to the airline article five years ago. Someone replaced the redirect with a new version of better quality a few months ago, but much of it is padding and unencyclopaedic info and some is just incorrect. The airline article has all of the salient information. YSSYguy (talk) 03:09, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect & Merge - I don't agree with the above comments that this is a light plane accident or a general aviation flight. Those terms apply to private flight; this was a commercial flight on which anyone could have been a passenger. However, since the flight was the defining incident in the history of the airline, I agree this crash can be covered in Sonicblue Airways. Since that article has only one paragraph on the crash, and this article is much longer and appears to be well referenced, I think additional information from this article should be merged into Sonicblue Airways.

@AleksandrMironov: Providing links to sources on this page would help people participating in this discussion to get a good handle on the subject. Specifically, I'd recommend looking at sources which would establish that Styline passes the criteria at WP:MUSBIO. If the charts you're talking about are major national charts, that would go a long way. I'd also recommend copyediting to make the language more neutral. Everything in the article should be verifiable in a reliable source independent of the artist (and labels, etc.). Language like "huge impact" is going to lead people to believe the article is promotional. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:11, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't appear to have charted anywhere in Europe, which would seem to be the main market for this music: I haven't checked North American or Asian charts yet. I'm wondering if the "multiple chart entries" are on Beatport or the iTunes chart. And I think I'd want some evidence that "power house" was a widely accepted genre in dance music circles and not just a neologism invented by Styline. Richard3120 (talk) 13:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"power electronics" is a genre, but it's a form of loud hideous noise industrial, not EDM. "pioneers his own music genre called Power House" is a bit of a red flag. Most Google hits on "styline" are for a kettle. "styline chart" shows Beatport charting (not convincing for NMUSIC) and an Instagram noting "Number one in the Russian club charts again!", and multiple national minor chart entries would pass NMUSIC if Clubtone qualifies - looks like nobody's worked it out for Wikipedia:Record charts. Can anyone here read Russian and also know if Clubtone would likely measure up as a respectable minor national chart? Of course then we still need RSes. I only found [19] in GNews, though Digital Journal is actually a user-generated content site that looks like a news outlet. So I guess it's whether Clubtone is a respectable minor national chart, and then if the entries can be verified - David Gerard (talk) 15:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
From what I can tell so far, Clubtone appears to be a website dedicated to dance music, no more than that. I can't see any evidence of editorial oversight, and judging by the site's name and the fact they sell ringtones, I wouldn't be surprised if the "Clubtone Top 10" was simply the ten most downloaded ringtones that week, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

The result was delete. This is a rare case in which I must disregard most opinions because they do not address a core policy issue raised in the nomination: verifiability. As the nomination points out, the content is sourced only to http://genealogy.euweb.cz, an evidently self-published and therefore unreliable website. Almost all "keep" opinions make notability arguments, but do not address (let alone rebut) the verifiability problem, which as a core policy issue must take absolute precedence.

They may be a way at times to find primary sources, but we do not build articles on primary sources, but on secondary ones. The only claim to notability is being part of the council of Ajaccio.

  • Dubious of notability -- I see very little that is notable in this article; it is mostly genealogy, with slight notability inherited from a descendant. Corsica in his time was (I think) a possession of Genoa. Colonel Commander is probably not a high enough rank, unless Genoa had very few regiments. Equally it is not clear to me whether the Council of Ajaccio governed a city (in which case he was a local councillor and NN) or the island, in which case he might be notable.

  • Keep. It is at least verifiable that there are allegations of a massacre and none of the sources are suggesting that it didn't happen, so this does not amount to a hoax. The sources are largely newspapers and press agencies, so the claim of PRIMARY does not really stand up. This AfD sounds to me very much like an attempt to whitewash the ROK army. In their critique of the sources, Mztourist says that they cannot access Clodfelter's book. Well I can, and this unarguably independent, secondary, reliable source has this to say,

The ROK Capital Division hunted Charlie in its AO in Binh dinh Province. Between September 23 and November 9, the Tigers of the South Korean division reported 1,161 enemy deaths in the course of operation Maeng Ho. A good many of the reported enemy KIAs may have been noncombatants, for the ROK had a reputation for brutality against the pro-VC peasantry of the region. On February 2, 1966, for example, 380 civilians were killed by ROKs in the village of Binh An, in Binh Dinh province. As many as 1,600 noncombatants may have been killed in the provinces of Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, and Quang Ngai in January and February 1966

— Micheal Clodfelter
SpinningSpark 20:54, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The newspaper accounts are interviews with villagers many years after the purported events and so they are PRIMARY. There is no photographic evidence or contemporary reporting of the purported events. The AP story shows proper journalistic investigation and indicates serious doubts as to what, if anything, occurred. In relation to Clodfelter, use of "Charlie", "Tigers" indicates a lack of standards in what you say is an "unarguably independent, secondary, reliable sources". What actual sources does Clodfelter give in relation to a massacre at Binh An? Or is he just repeating the same dubious stories that are included on this page? I am not attempting to whitewash anything, but a massacre is a serious allegation and it shouldn't be included on WP without very solid evidence. This page has been deleted once before for lack of evidence. Mztourist (talk) 07:05, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The AP source does not express "serious doubts" of the truthfulness of the eyewitnesses. On the contrary, the whole article is premised on the assumption that their stories are, in fact, true. It is true that the journalist says "[t]he AP was unable to independently confirm their claims", in part because "[a]s is routine with foreign reporters, several government escorts accompanied the AP staff. The AP was unable to search for documents that would back up the [local] officials' allegations." But that is hardly the same as actually casting doubt.
Clodfelter's book is published by McFarland, a serious, well-eatablished publisher specialising in academic and reference works. On sourcing, Clodfelter says,

Cross-checking and comparison of sources and, most of all, common sense have guided my research and results. i have employed official and supposedly authoritative sources wherever available, have sought statistics from both sides in each war to evaluate the inevitably conflicting claims, and have tried to verify the numbers reported on the battlefield with the records of the various medical corps and military surgeon-general reports.

This does not sound to me like someone with a "lack of standards" or "just repeating the same dubious stories". It is not for Wikipedia to assess the significance of lack of photographic evidence, contemporary reports, or the primary sources used by RS (although Clodfelter has a nine-page bibliography if you really need to know). That kind of assessment is the job of the reliable secondary sources. That's why we use them. SpinningSpark 11:49, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am concerned by the low standards being applied here. A massacre is a very controversial accusation, but you seem willing to accept the existence of an event based on minimal details and very dubious sources. The lack of photographic evidence and contemporaneous reporting should be of concern, because that was available for other massacres, such as My Lai Massacre, Đắk Sơn massacre, Hue Massacre, Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre, Son Thang massacre etc. Re the AP, I don't agree that "the whole article is premised on the assumption that their stories are, in fact, true" what gives you that impression? Once again I am asking you specifically what Clodfelter gives as his sources for the Binh An massacre, not general statements as to sourcing, so what are they? If all Clodfelter has done is copy details from WP or those same newspaper reports then it isn't any more reliable than those underlying sources. Mztourist (talk) 16:47, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If the accusations are dubious, it is down to you to find reliable sources saying that. The article can then be balanced with that material. Until then, your position is entirely WP:OR. SpinningSpark 17:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is a rubbish argument. WP:V and WP:RS are the pillars of Wikipedia. Vietnamese POV pushers have created a number of pages regarding purported massacres based on tenuous sources, I am simply challenging them to ensure that WP:V and WP:RS are met. You haven't answered any of the other issues I raised on the talk page and are refusing to answer the simple question of what Clodfelter gives as his sources for the Binh An massacre. Mztourist (talk) 04:33, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what sources Clodfelter used. Presumably they are in his nine-page bibliography that I already pointed you to. There is no reason why I should be required to name Clodfelter's sources; Clodfelter is the source I am citing. If I were to name his sources, would you then ask what sources they used? Eventually, we would get back to primary sources which you have already made a big case of rejecting. I can only surmise that nothing will ever satisfy you. SpinningSpark 08:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Sufficient coverage to meet GNG. Whether the event happened or not doesn't seem particularly relevant. A hoax popularized by numerous sources could still be notable. If the information comes from multiple reliable sources (and the Associated Press, Globe and Mail, and Asian Human Rights Commission articles are sufficient, regardless of the others, for which I would need to look closer to make a determination), it meets WP:V.

  • The actual logos are public domain in the US. The screenshots of the last few aren't, but they can be replaced.
    In any case, this shouldn't be a redlink, since we cover this subject (in Doctor Who#Logo history, as mentioned on the talk page) and this would be the usual title for it. So if this isn't kept separate, it should redirect there, without prejudice to being spun out again if the section in the main article becomes too large. —Cryptic 21:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody is going to type "List of Doctor Who logos" into Google, they will go for the main article first, so I wouldn't even go for a redirect.

  • Delete - there is absolutely no content to take from here that isn't already included in the main article. Coverage of these logos within the main article suffices. Furthermore, if someone wants to search "list of Doctor Who logos", they would do so on Google or Google Images, not Wikipedia, so a redirect is unnecessary, as they would just to Wikipedia's article on Doctor Who first and go from there. I see no logical reason to make this a redirect. —Mythdon 09:10, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Just have a look at her official profile, which is provided by the United World Wrestling. She had represented India for more than one decade in the top international tournaments, which include the Senior/Junior World Wrestling Championships, Asian Games, Asian Wrestling Championships, etc. In fact, she was the 2000 Asian Junior Champion. She had also reached to the bronze medal bout of the 2006 Asian Games – click here. At the national level, she made multiple podium finishes in the National Championships, e.g. 2001, 2003, 2008, 2009, etc. I guess that is more that enough to satisfy WP:NSPORT.
She is even further special as she was the first Indian female wrestler. And the struggle of hers and her father Chandgi Ram to introduce women's wrestling in India is even highlighted by the United World Wrestling - click here. She was the first one to win India's highest women's wrestling title – Bharat Kesari. She has also signed up to become the first pro female wrestler from India.
Finally, her post-retirement career in TV – where she participated in the country's top reality shows like Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi — 1, Bigg Boss — 2 & Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout — 3 – is in itself sufficient to satisfy the WP:GNG.

  • Comment As an adult she never came close to winning a match at a world championship, finishing near the bottom at both events. She has no medals in a significant international competition. The article on her and her sisters looks like good coverage. If other sources can be found, WP:GNG might be met. I'm not inclined to say that appearing on reality TV shows is enough to show notability, though others may disagree. Papaursa (talk) 04:18, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Sports_personalities states that an "athlete is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor....". So, it clearly states that the long-term participation in the major competitions is enough to satisfy the WP:NSPORT. And the concerned amateur wrestler has represented her country in the top amateur wrestling events for more than one decade. I guess that's 'active' enough. Secondly, as far as WP:GNG is concerned, there are enough reliable independent sources in the English and the other languages, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. But I guess the WP:GNG will come into picture if she fails the WP:NSPORT, which doesn't seem to be the case here. - NitinMlk (talk) 09:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You should add these sources to the article. The presumption of notability does not guarantee notability. WP guidelines still say reliable sources are needed. Because of the number of organizations, events, and divisions simply competing at a martial arts world championship has not always been sufficient to show notability. Papaursa (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Papaursa, there's not necessarily a need to add the sources to the article to pass AfD. Please see WP:NEXIST. Fieari (talk) 00:35, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I believe that NitinMlk has provided enough coverage to show WP:GNG is met. It's still debatable whether she's notable for her wrestling alone. Even one of the sources provided [20] says she has accomplished nothing at the international level (at least according to my computer translation). However GNG trumps any SNG.

It's not some far-fetched argument – it's the relevant wiki policy. At present, unlike many other Olympic sports, amateur wrestling doesn't have separate notability criteria – check at WP:ATH. So, only alternative left here is to use the Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Sports_personalities, which the subject meets easily. In any case, to meet the WP:GNG, there's more than enough coverage of her in the third-party reliable sources. BTW, what's vague about the term "participated in"? At least in the case of sports tournaments, its meaning is crystal clear. - NitinMlk (talk) 08:08, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

French–Armenian Agreement (1916)

French–Armenian Agreement (1916) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The title of the article, "French–Armenian Agreement (1916)", is unsourced, and I can find no source that indicates there ever was a document with this title (or this title with the date 1916 removed, or its French-language equivalent). All references to it on google are just recycled Wikipedia content. The title is also misleading (probably intentionally) because it suggests a military or political treaty between two nations, France and Armenia - but no military or political entity called Armenia existed in 1916. What does appear to have existed is a French military decision to recruit non-French citizens (such as Armenians and Syrians) for its proposed Légion d'Orient, and then a French approach made to Boghos Nubar for help in gathering possible recruits amongst diaspora Armenians worldwide and Armenian refugees in the middle east - in other words nothing as formal as an agreement, and absolutely nothing that would justify the status of a title such as this. This content, and the rest of the content in this article, should be covered by the article French Armenian Legion. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:29, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- unneeded content fork since the material is already covered in French Armenian Legion. Not enough for a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to French Armenian Legion, which says there was an agreement in November 1916 in Egypt between an Armenian delegation and the French. This was clearly part of the effort to bolster the allied war effort at this period, resulting in a number of agreements that some have since wished were not made. Armenia was not a country at this time, but it was an ethnicity that was subject to genocide by the Ottoman Turks. A wish by a delegation of refugees to take up arms against their persecutors and of the allies to encourage that is wholly credible. However, I agree that it does not merit an article of its own. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
However, the French Armenian Legion article is also unsourced for a claim that there was an agreement called "French–Armenian Agreement (1916)". It does appear that some approach by (or to?) the French (at a time when Allied manpower was becoming stretched and conscription was being introduced) was made to (or by?) Armenian groups and community leaders in order for them to facilitate the recruitment of Armenians who were not French citizens into the French armed forces as part of its Légion d'Orient. But a group or a group of individuals agreeing to do something is not the same thing as an "Agreement", which implies some sort of formalized treaty or convention between state entities - so I would rather the French–Armenian Agreement title was gone completely and did not become a redirect. Let's not continue with the implication that a document with this title ever existed, or that academic sources have used this term to refer to whatever the actual agreement was. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 21:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify the origin of the name of this alleged "Agreement" - it originates in Armenian Genocide denialist literature originating in Turkey. It is part of the pseudo-history conspiracy theory produced by Turkey that there were, and still are, "Powers" that are out to destroy Turkey, and that there was no Armenian Genocide but merely Armenians rebelling against the Ottoman Empire as part of that project to destroy Turkey and a justified response by Turkey to put down that rebellion. The title is meant to suggest an actual military agreement existed between Armenians and one of those Powers - thus supporting the allegation that Armenians were conspiring to destroy the Ottoman Empire.

  • Comment -- similar to the nominator, I do not see a reason to redirect this, as the alleged agreement likely did not exist, or does not amount to an "agreement" between two nations, as the title of the article suggests. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:21, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Advertorially-toned WP:BLP of an actor whose strongest claim of notability is a role in a single web series. The only "source" here is his own official website, which is a primary source that cannot confer notability, and the article was evidently created by his webmaster (creator = User:RchandlerUS; credited author of website reference = Chandler, RC), which is a conflict of interest. A person like this would be eligible for an article if it could be referenced to enough reliable source coverage about him to satisfy WP:GNG, but one role in one web series does not confer a WP:CREATIVE pass in and of itself.

Young actress which may very well become notable (I do wish her the best) but is currently not there yet. She's had one significant role, though not a leading role, so far and all seven of the references provided by the article link to reviews of that one film and only mention her name in passing as a member of the cast. I haven't been able to find reliable sources that discuss her in more depth so I believe she fails both the basic notability criterion and the actor-specific guideline.

Tricky case. Poor article, completely lacking in proper sourcing--the problem is establishing to which extent the subject can lean on the credits of the hit he co-wrote and co-produced; I cannot find reliable sources that argue he can derive notability from it. He and fellow writer Janieck van de Polder were given BUMA/STEMRA awards for the tune because it charted internationally, but they got 2nd and 3rd for national and international hit song--not number 1, and one should realize that these aren't awards as much as verification of hit status: the second biggest Dutch hitsingle wins second in the national hitsingle category. Given the low number of articles discussing our subject, I'm going with delete since he does not pass the GNG--this is the one more or less reliable source I found, an article from a local paper which describes how his hometown mayor invited him over for coffee.

  • Keep - I had been working on a draft for a number of months, which I have now merged with this article. On the balance of things just about squeezes through GNG with substantial articles about him in BBC and FourFourTwo. GiantSnowman 08:07, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Clearly fails the subject-specific guideline, WP:NFOOTY, because he hasn't played at senior international level or for a club from a fully professional league in a senior competition. The articles on BBC, FourFourTwo, the local paper cited in the WP article, and elsewhere are all reworkings of an interview with the subject that highlighted one event: a man chose to go and work in an unstable country but when it got more unstable he didn't like it so he left. As such, 1) those pieces can't be treated as multiple intellectually independent sources, per WP:BASIC, and 2) so what? it's good background material, but not enough to make someone notable.

    All the facts in the original interviews come from the man himself, without independent corroboration. This piece on a Brazilian news site states that Rachoni was never at Arsenal Kyiv and that the Fluminense he claimed to have played for was not the well-known one but the Mineiro State League Div 2 side Fluminense de Araguari-MG. It also suggests that his economy with the truth on footballing matters casts doubt on his veracity in general. Whether true or not, it's hardly unprecedented that naive footballers get fooled into going to unsuitable places for jobs that either don't exist or exist under intolerable conditions, and no-one helps them when they want to get out. Sadly, it happens to hundreds of young Africans every year. And it's hardly unprecedented that unemployed persons talk up or whitewash their background to try and get attention and hopefully work, but he'd need to get to the standard of Alex Zarrelli mentioned above to be notable for that.

  • Delete Seems he was kept last time because he played in Italy's top league. WP:BASE/N has since been revised to include the top leagues of the U.S., Japan, and Korea only. (Or also Taiwan? Not gonna look it up right now.) My previous argument against the Baseball America piece that it's subscription only was the wrong argument.

The only thing that I can find that backs up even the existence of this race is the included image of unknown origin. Beyond that, I can find no primary or secondary sources that would even begin to support this race as a notable subject.

Comment Searched Newsbank, Highbeam, and Newspapers.com. I found a golf tournament in Maryland and a boat race in Ireland, but no mention of this horse race. This may not even be the most notable Gannon Cup! Acdixon (talk · contribs) 15:24, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment  Article lists this as a 1 1/6 mile race run in 1:44:14.  There don't seem to be 1 1/6 mile horse races.  [21] gives the fastest time for 9 furlongs (1 1/8 mile) as 1:45.25.  1 1/8 miles is 1 3/24 miles while 1 1/6 miles is the longer 1 4/24 miles.  A possible explanation, not as good as a reliable source, is that the 1 1/6 miles should be 1 1/16 miles, where the best time on the dirt is 1:36.40.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:57, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment  Sources show that Corrupt won the ninth race on the Wednesday before the 1st Saturday in May in 2008 at Churchill Downs, so this is all credible, but with the only known reference for the existence of the topic being the official program from Churchill Downs, the topic currently fails WP:V#NotabilityUnscintillating (talk) 02:24, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps credible insofar as one race in one year, although I haven't seen anything hard that labels the race as the "Gannon Cup". Stevie is the man! TalkWork 12:20, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The guidelines at NHORSERACING generally need a horse race to be a graded stakes race as a threshold. Putting that name into equibase.com brings up nothing. (Also, horse races are never run at 1-1/6 mile, they may have meant 1-1/16 mile). Looking up the race record of the horse Corrupt, I see he did win a race the week before the Kentucky Derby in 2008 with results described here but the race is described as an "Allowance optional claiming" race -- unnamed, ungraded. So unless my colleagues at WikiProject Horse racing find something I can't, this race is too insignificant to meet NHORSERACING. Delete. Montanabw(talk) 20:32, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I don't have the 2008 Racing Almanac to hand, but the 2007 does not list any "Gannon Cup" as a graded stakes race in the US. Typically, stakes have to have several years of history before actually reaching graded stakes status - so the lack of it appearing in the 2007 edition is pretty much proof that it's not graded and thus fails to have enough coverage to satisfy GNG.

      • Quoting the last paragraph of WP:USEFUL: There are some pages within Wikipedia that are supposed to be useful navigation tools and nothing more—disambiguation pages, categories, and redirects, for instance—so usefulness is the basis of their inclusion; for these types of pages, usefulness is a valid argument. Uanfala (talk) 19:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • My point was that it doesn't carry much weight to merely say something is useful without giving a good reason for how/why. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:48, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
          • In the case of content articles, saying that something is useful without giving a reason doesn't carry much weight. But when it comes to navigation aids, if someone says that they find something useful, full stop, well... it means that it is useful. You could see that both in the quoted passage from WP:USEFUL as well as for example from criterion #5 of WP:RFD#KEEP. Uanfala (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:PTM. There's only one topic that "may refer to" Can't Stop Feeling so a disambiguation page is unnecessary here. -- Tavix (talk) 18:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is the case that only one of the entries actually matches the title exactly, but the rest are so similar to it that they're easy to confuse, so the dab page decently serves as a navigation aid. Uanfala (talk) 19:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • They aren't actually THAT similar; people can definitely for instance tell "Can't Stop the Feeling!" from "I Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got". Let's not exaggerate similarities. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:48, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; dab pages with WP:PTMs are a dime a dozen; most are useful. This one is no exception. And please, don't tell me what I can and can't tell apart. I find these entries related enough that it would be easy to confuse them. — Gorthian (talk) 02:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't go so far as to say "dime a dozen". Regardless, other pages being mistakenly filled with partial title matches doesn't justify doing so here. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for more. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:11, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deprodded with the reason that any professional coach is notable. But if deprodder were to check WP:NHOCKEY and WP:NHOCKEY/LA he would see that the SPHL is not one of the listed leagues. And any league not listed follows the following "Those leagues not otherwise listed are considered to confer no presumptive notability to players, coaches, officials or executives, and articles about the same must explicitly demonstrate notability under the provisions of WP:GNG, WP:BIO or other valid notability criteria." As such he fails both WP:NHOCKEY and WP:GNG as the references listed are routine and primary. DJSasso (talk) 11:25, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NFF has not commenced principal photography by the article's own admission. Savonneux (talk) 05:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Savonneux, an AfD usually lasts a week or more and the article says that principal photography starts in exactly one week. If that happens, will you withdraw this AfD? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:08, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I usually don't use multiple nomination criteria and that was the most relevant. I can't find anything more than passing mentions as a future project, so it is an unreviewed, unreleased, unshot film. The director is notable but the fact that it is unreleased makes it hard to make a case that it is a major part of his/her career--Savonneux (talk) 07:25, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The coverage for this is pretty light. I'm not seeing an awful lot out there or really anything to show that it actually is going to shoot next week. This source says that it was supposed to begin in July, but it looks like that never happened. The lack of coverage even in the WP:India news search is concerning, so there would have to be a lot of coverage of the production beginning in order to establish notability. The general lack of mention kind of makes me wonder if the project has been stalled. Even the Facebook page is dead, which isn't really the greatest sign.

The Bengali language newspaper Prothom Alo printed an article about National Award winning actor Aref Syed joining the movie and the principal photography is to begin in September. Also, the director's production company has started releasing photos of the actors on their social media accounts. Nequa.s (talk

  • The only problem is that we would need coverage showing that filming has begun on the movie, not publicity photos and announcements that the film will be made. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:26, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There has been media coverage that principal photography has begun. Please see The Daily Star[1], New Age[2], Jago News[3] among many others. Nequa.s (talk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nequa.s (talkcontribs) 04:36, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep or move to Draft I cleaned up the article and added some more sources. She's profiled in the Irish Times and the Coannach Tribune. She is also profiled in the UNFOLD page. However, the other sources are mentions of her work, though those mentions indicate that she is already pretty well-established. I would like a little more to say she definitely passes GNG. That said, if this article moves to Delete, it should certainly be put into draft instead. It seems likely she'll have more news coverage in the future.

Non-notable former regional police structure. GermanJoe (talk) 15:30, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • More details This "Polizeidirektion" got merged into a neighboring department in 2013/2014 (the distribution of police departments and responsibilities has been completely changed with a huge reform in 2013). Almost the entire article (from 2007/2008) is now wrong/outdated. While Heidelberg is sometimes mentioned in outdated listings or in passing mentions as acting office (in crime reports and similar articles), a search for German-language sources in Google revealed no in-depth coverage about the department itself. Several links in the English-language search are false positives ("Lower ..." is a different office, and there is another town called "Heidelberg" in the United States).

There are two topics here that are exactly "Severna Park" - the CDP and the writer, with the CDP being the primary topic, so this is a WP:TWODABS. I tagged it for deletion, but then two WP:PTMs were added that are not independent of the CDP and could easily be/are mentioned in its article. This still has no weight at all as a useful DAB page, as two of its entries aren't valid, and a hatnote works for the writer. Nohomersryan (talk) 00:04, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Deletion of disambiguation pages based on wp:TWODABS NEVER makes sense. If neither item is primary, the dab is needed. If one of two is primary, as here, the dab page is not absolutely required, but if it is created, it should be kept, in part to avoid wasting editors' attention in AFDs. Disambiguation pages are like redirects: cheap. Another exact match may turn up (there , and can be added. And, as here, it can hold other plausible items that are not exact matches, in the list or in "See also". Readers don't necessarily know their target is not an exact match; partial matches are helpful. Deletion nominations based on TWODABS should be closed "Speedy Keep". --doncram 15:47, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What we have here is a bio of a non-notable CEO. Last AfD from 2012 had three editors, including the creator, make unsubstantiated claims that there are "plenty of good references", and sadly, the closing admin must have believed them without checking. Settigng aside that most of the sources return 404 links now, all that remains and that I can find are mentions in passing, press releases, and a few paragraph-level standard CV-like mini-bios written by the subject or his staff and posted on company's homepages/etc. For anyone new to WP:NBIO, please remember that appearing in google a few times, and being mentioned in passing by niche, business-as-usual "news" pieces, often solicited or based on press releases, is NOT sufficient to be notable. If anyone can find any reliable, independent and in-depth source about the subject, do post it and we will discuss it.

  • Delete: The article was created by a long-standing contributor of articles on TV subjects, so the vanity publishing suggestion is not right. As to this page, though, the subject was a presenter on one children's show, with the sole substantial reference relating to new bosses dismissing him and his co-presenter in cutbacks. There is also some coverage available of his appearance in panto (Liverpool Daily Post, 2010  – via HighBeam (subscription required) ), but I don't see enough to justify a biographical article per WP:BASIC, though perhaps a redirect to Toonattik could be possible.

  • Comment: the Sydney Morning Herald coverage used in the article is rather fluffy: Link. I don't believe it meets WP:CORPDEPTH as it's based on the interview with the founder and is run of the mill, i.e. "local company gets award". So it's a case of WP:TOOSOON, IMO. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:06, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • While theSydney Morning Herald piece is very in-depth, WP:GNG makes no discrimination against in-depth "fluff" coverage as long as the in-depth coverage is by a reliable source that is independent of the topic, in which the SMH is. The SMH could have an article entitled "EWay is the greatest company ever and everyone should use it" and that would still be acceptable coverage for notability reasons. WP:MILL deals with mainspace WP articles, not coverage of their topics. I think you meant to type WP:NOTNEWS but that applies to items like "announcements, sports, or celebrities", not coverage like for this topic. WP:TOOSOON is meant for topics that have not yet passed GNG do it doesn't apply to this article. --Oakshade (talk) 05:00, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: while GNG is a guideline, WP:NOT is a policy. The article has the appearance of existing for the purpose of promoting the business, and the "fluffy" sources it's based on bears this out. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:14, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That WP:NOT is a policy is an irrelevant point. We know that. As already stated WP:NOT and specifically WP:NOTNEWS applies to coverage like "announcements, sports, or celebrities" which the non-press release coverage is not. If you'd like to change the policy WP:NOT to mean topics and coverage beyond "announcements, sports, or celebrities", you need to make your case on the WP:NOT talk page, not invent your own definition in a single AfD. --Oakshade (talk) 05:26, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:PROMO. The tone of the article is overly promotional and it reads like a vanity page. The details are mostly of partnerships and announcements, originating from the company, such as:
  • "Similar ventures have followed with the eWAY’s integration with NetSuite.[15] The integration allows NetSuite users to facilitate credit card payments online, by phone, fax or mail utilising NetSuite’s omnichannel approach.[16]" Etc, etc.
Such tone suggests to me that the purpose of the article is to promote the business, and not to inform the readers. Rather than wasting volunteer editor's time trying to maintain neutrality of the article, I suggest deleting until such time that the subject becomes notable based on truly independent sources.

If the sources were only press releases or non-independent such as your examples, I would agree. But they're not the only sources - it includes numerous articles from the SMH, BBC, The Australian, Business Insider, and others, thus demonstrating global notability. It passes GNG and WP:NCORP; in light of these facts, the promotional tone isn't reason for deletion.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 05:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry these sources do not qualify as significant coverage of the topic per WP:V, a core content policy, and/or independent coverage per WP:V. Do you have any reliable sources that cover this topic? Steve Quinn (talk) 05:58, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How does the Sydney Morning Herald not qualify per WP:V? A topic only "fails" WP:V if it's content is completely unverifiable, ie "Martians favorite passtime is curling." To say reliable sources like the SMH, TechRadar and The Australian fails WP:V is nonsensical and we're not sure what your point is. --Oakshade (talk) 05:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The SMH is at best trivial mention, meanwhile it is an announcement. And the main topic for this announcement is "AMEX" not E-way. Tech radar is an announcement, promotion, promotional, and the CEO is the only source for that article - this means it is not independent coverage and is also discouraged in COREDEPTH. Steve Quinn (talk) 04:30, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. trivial coverage, with the only detailed sources being promotional . If this meets the GNG, the GNG no longer meets Wikipedia's needs, and fails the basic principle underlying WP:NOT, that WP *IS* an encyclopedia . DGG ( talk ) 03:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. There is a smokescreen of sources in the article, but they are either not RS or routine coverage. A search for sources shows a lot of PR but hardly any significant RS. Many of the RS I found are routine news which seem to be redressed press releases. If the SMH source is the best we have, then I'm afraid I have to go with a delete. From what I see, the company is marginally notable and exactly in what we call WP:TOOSOON territory. It is an emerging company and maybe in 3-5 years there might be better coverage. But till that time, I will go with a delete. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:08, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes:

      Matt Bullock, the founder and owner of Australia's biggest online merchant payments gateway eWay, will wade into the physical world on Tuesday with a new mobile payment device.

      The company will offer terminals provided by Quest and Mint Payments to its existing 20,000 business customers, with registrations for these being accepted in August. It hopes to pick up new customers and fend off competitors by offering better integration of payments with inventory and customer databases.

      It processed more than $4.6 billion transactions in the 2014 financial year and is expected to earn $12 million to $14 million in revenue in 2015.

      ...

      eWay at present is the dominant payment gateway used by businesses in Australia to accept money online. But it is facing competition from foreign players such as Stripe and Square, backed by cashed-up entrepreneurs.

      The article notes:

      For entrepreneur Matt Bullock, his life as a boss began back in the 1990s, when he built a payment gateway long before the days of buying online was standard buyer behaviour.

      ...

      Now, with eWAY processing $1 in every $4 spent online in Australia, and clients like Canon, Qantas, Puma, Nissan on the books, Bullock finds himself the boss of 50-plus staff.

      The article notes:

      Online payment gateway eWay, which processes about 20 per cent of all internet purchases in Australia, is expanding to the United States to take on competitors such as Stripe and PayPal's Braintree in their home market.

      After starting life in the dotcom boom of the late 1990s, eWay, which sets up a connection with a bank for online businesses so they can get paid, has about 18,000 merchant customers, making it the dominant online payment processor here.

      It processed $4.6 billion in transactions in the 2014 financial year and is expected to earn $12 million to $14 million in revenue in 2015. But it is facing competition from cashed-up US competitors offering a faster, hassle-free set up with banks.

      Founder and 100 per cent owner Matt Bullock told The Australian Financial Review that eWay is rolling out a new, faster sign-up process in new markets it is entering in New Zealand and the US. It is similar to Stripe in that it takes over all the relationship with banks. eWay's service to date has left it to the merchant to set up and maintain relations with its bank and eWay provided the payment link.

      The article notes:

      Australian e-commerce platform eWAY is taking the fight up to the US heavyweights PayPal and Square, announcing an expansion into the omnichannel space with a mobile point of sale solution.

      The move means eWAY merchants — of which there are currently 20,000, from tradies to market stalls — can accept online payments anywhere.

      Matt Bullock, eWAY founder and chief executive, told The Australian merchants would no longer need to purchase, set up, and maintain a traditional eftpos terminal, while online retailers who wished to open physical stores could use the mPOS for an ­omnichannel payment solution.

      Mr Bullock said he decided to build an mPOS device on a recent trip to San Francisco, and has had 40 people working on the project full-time for months.

      The article notes:

      Canberra multimillionaire Matt Bullock has sold his online transaction company for more than a thousand times the money in his bank when he started it.

      When the Pearce man developed eWAY 18 years ago, he had $50,000 to his name. On Friday, he sold it to American payment technology services giant Global Payments for $US50 million.

      Understandably, Mr Bullock feels a great sense of achievement from his brainchild that grew to doing 5.8 billion online purchases last year, or about a quarter of all internet transactions in Australia.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow eWay to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 23:06, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- per above sources, I would have said redirect to Global Payments that acquired eWay, but this article does not appear to exist. The size of the transaction ($50M) does not indicated significance or importance of the target company either.
The sources above are mostly based on the interviews with the founder, so they could not be considered truly independent (and RS requirements for notability are more stringent vs just for content). The data presented (25% etc) emanates from the company, and is not likely to have been independently fact checked by the newspapers. So this is mostly marketing by the company and these claims are potentially unverifiable. So I'm not changing my !vote in view of the above sources.

  • Delete as I all see from the listed sources above are the same exact information that comes with expected company information, which includes company-supplied information. The worst of it is: "The company will offer terminals provided by Quest and Mint Payments to its existing 20,000 business customers, with registrations for these being accepted in August. It hopes to pick up new customers and fend off competitors by offering better integration of payments with inventory and customer databases"...."clients like Canon, Qantas, Puma, Nissan on the books, Bullock finds himself the boss of 50-plus staff."...."Understandably, Mr Bullock feels a great sense of achievement from his brainchild that grew to doing 5.8 billion online purchases last year". Saying that this is "significant, substantial and news" is the exact forms of advertisements attempted as shoehorns but they give no actual improvements to the article; as always, a named journalist and news source is exactly what churnalism is, and it's frequent to allow companies self-advertising.

I can't find any evidence of charting on a quick search just now. Blabbermouth.net is a minor RS that covered them a bit, though probably not enough for NMUSIC or GNG (I'd like at least a second one and preferably a third before I'd confidently say "keep").

  • Strong Keep This guy has plenty of sources. The complaint from the nom is "local interest" simply because one the sources he chose to list, an informative source, was a Contra Costa County newspaper. Another strong article is the San Jose Mercury, which is the Silicon Valley's major daily. I've added to sources and haven't even gotten off the first page of google, there are plenty of other sources where that came from. He certainly passes WP:GNG. As an inventor he has had more than one significant invention. Calling him a shill, calling this promotion, as in lacking in substance, is a complete misrepresentation of the facts. Trackinfo (talk) 03:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I did not call him a shill. The shill is Sigma0 1, a now banned advertiser for hire. I make no claim to have any idea who was the client. As a paid advert calling it as such is not a complete misrepresentation of the facts.

  • Keep. I believe this subject meets WP:ANYBIO #2 ("He designed the electronics for the Guitar Hero guitars and drum controller, which formed the basis for all subsequent Guitar Hero versions." - source SJM) and WP:CREATIVE #2 (While normally applied to media creatives could reasonably be applied to software authors -- "He is one of the authors and originators of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification" which needs a better citation but is adequately sourced here). This fellow appears to be a legend in his field, and meeting two separate additional criteria of WP:BIO, I reasonably presume better sourcing will be found, possibly during this process. Zero reason to delete. As a biography of an essential IT inventor, this BLP page deserves improvement and might grow to FA class. BusterD (talk) 03:43, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"He is one of the authors and originators of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification". Not adequately sourced there, a press release from an involved organisation, not independent. Also questionable as pointed out above. The claim of the scroll wheel debunk above is a significant focus, where is the fact checking? Also a vague claim.

  • Keep Significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. Some are already in the article and others are very easy to find.

  • Delete. I can't find anything that discusses this project that isn't primary or would be considered a WP:RS on Wikipedia. There are some YouTube links and other WP:SPS that discuss the work, but not really anything else. The project seems to exist, but that's about it. It also doesn't help that the page is fairly promotional in tone and appears to have been written to make the project seem more notable and to promote its creator, John Cunyus. The sources in the article aren't usable to show notability as the majority of them are WP:PRIMARY and the only non-primary source is just a photograph of what looks to be a general discussion on religion, which cannot show notability for this project or at all. Photographs are considered to be WP:TRIVIAL sources except in very rare situations, which this is not. I searched two college databases for this project, one of which is a university that has a religious studies course program (so they'd be more likely to index periodicals and academic sources that would discuss religious topics). Neither had anything that would be usable, as the only source I found that mentioned either the project or Cunyus was a dissertation written by the person himself. As far as it being rare or exceptional, the thing is that Wikipedia requires coverage to show that something is notable and to help verify any claims made. How useful it is (WP:ITSUSEFUL) also doesn't give notability either. Something can be done well and be one of the few of its type, but neither give notability on Wikipedia. As far as the review mentioned above goes, we need to be able to verify the source, such as where and when it was written. If it was part of a longer review in an academic journal then it could help show notability, however if it's something that was solicited for the website then that wouldn't give notability since it'd be a routine book blurb. That it was mentioned elsewhere isn't an automatic guarantee of notability either, as you would still have to prove that the referring source would pass RS guidelines. It cannot be self-published and must be put through a reputable outlet known for its editorial oversight, at the very least. Even with that, the source would still need to mention the project in depth to establish notability. One source is not enough to establish notability, however, as most articles need about 3-5 independent, reliable, in-depth sources to establish this - and that's generally seen as on the weak end. The only time 1-2 sources are enough is when they're asserting something extremely major, like a Pulitzer or Nobel Prize.
I also have to caution people that AfDs are not decided on a vote and to be frank, it's usually a little suspicious when new people log in to argue for retention or come back after a long absence, which is why I've opened an SPI. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:42, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Magdalena Charzyńska-Wójcik. I am assistant professor at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, working on English prose translations of Jerome’s Psalters. I am currently completing a book: “Text and Context in Jerome’s Psalters: Prose Translations into Old, Middle and Early Modern English.” The book is going to be published by the University Press of the Catholic University of Lublin.

The book presents the history of the dissemination of Jerome’s Latin Psalters and their prose translations into English. I examined a mass of various translations and prepared an edition of Psalms 1-50, which juxtaposes the Roman and the Gallican Psalters (on the basis of the texts/manuscripts circulating in England) and the texts of their English translations, starting from King Alfred the Great’s Old English translation, thorough four Middle English translations: Richard Rolle’s, the Middle English Glossed Prose Psalter, and the early and late Wycliffite versions, ending with the original 1609/10 Douay-Rheims text. Since all these texts are at places difficult to understand (I provided a gloss to the Old English Psalter, which has never been done before, but it is still hard to follow the sense of the verses), I wanted to provide them with a Modern English version which would make the meaning of the verses clear. Out of many available translations of the Psalms into English, I find your translation the best: it is a very close, linguistically conscious translation of the Gallican Psalter – so good that it can not only help to disambiguate the more difficult passages in the English texts but also help those whose Latin is not good enough to be able to trace the intricacies of these early renderings into English.

Since your translation is so extraordinary among the existing Modern English texts, I wrote a section in my book devoted to it and I would very much like to include into this collation the text of your Psalms 1-50. I believe your translation would greatly enhance the set, both as a help in disambiguating the difficult passages and by offering the text translated in a manner reminiscent of those early translators I am working on. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate it if you could grant me the permission to include your translation of Psalms 1-50 with due acknowledgement among the remaining eight Psalter versions in my book.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

  • E-mails are considered self-published sources on here at best and are almost never used on Wikipedia. I think that the only time I've seen them used is when they're a primary source and even then it has to be an email that is publicly posted and verified in some form or fashion. Now if you could show where in the book she mentioned the project (ie, so another editor can verify it) then that could help show notability (I'll run the publisher by WP:RS/N, but offhand the rankings section for the university suggests that it should be usable), however I need to again stress that this would be one source and not enough to establish notability on the strength of that alone. It's a step in the right direction, though. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 15:04, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article for Non notable self-publishing author. As his works found no publisher,according to the article, he founded his own press to publish them. Essentially none of his books are in any WorldCat library--a few are in 5 libraries, a few in 2, most in one or none. The press has also published a few other authors, all equally non-notable, none of whom has any book in more than 5 worldcat libraries. No other notability.

He exists as an author and all of that other stuff, but none of that is the type of thing that would give automatic notability. In other words, notability is not automatically inherited by any of the things in the article.

  2. Times of India This article is almost an interview (primary source) More importantly, it is so badly formatted that I am wondering how much journalistic editing has happened.

  • coment I know this area a bit and I'm not even finding much in the way of unreliable sources, let alone reliable ones. But as the previous AFD claims "The artist/band has been featured and reviewed in some major print magazines here in Germany (Orkus, Sonic Seducer, Zillo), which I see as a criterion for "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.". However I have problems to refer to these articles - they are not available online (however some of them can be found on the artist's webpage), so I left them out and I therefore only referred to one online review as an example." I don't in general have a problem using the artist's site as evidence of these articles in this sort of case, they're unlikely to have lied about it. It's a big problem sourcing industrial band articles that, apart from all the sources for notability likely being in German (which is fine), they're likely on paper and hard to trace and source. (Also that there's no good online verification for DAC entries, which establish prima facie notability handily, though pretty sure False Mirror's never hit the DAC.) - David Gerard (talk) 09:22, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. Having read through the article, source material, and the analysis of these sources in this discussion, I see that the "delete" side has presented a strong case. The coverage consists mainly of passing mentions and items such as being ranked #682 on a list of "fastest growing companies" appears insignificant. With that said, the validity of the Music Connection source combined with a spattering of mentions in other sources is an argument with merit, and one that has attracted support. The article remains thin, but I cannot see a consensus for deletion based on this AFD. Sjakkalle (Check!) 21:12, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

promotional article on non notable firm. The references are primarily press releases, some from extremely unreliable sources like local business journals. Rankings in "rapidly growing" lists are essentially indications of "not yet notable" -- this is especially true for a rank of 682nd. The actual awards are trivial.

  • Keep - I agree that "Fast Growing" lists, and not even appearing high on those lists, is usually a pretty good indicator of non-notability. That said, let's do a source review:
    • Music Connection - This is a good notability establishing article. It's a publication with an editorial staff, it's bylined, it's an entire article dedicated to the subject, and it claims that the subject is "the largest" of its kind, which is a claim to notability.
    • Inc.com - As mentioned, being low on a "Fastest Growing" list is a black mark against.
    • Springfield Business Journal - Likewise.
    • Wilmington Business Journal - Local coverage, minor award that ma even be an indicator of non-notability.
    • TechCruch - Reliable source... but barely the scantest of passing mentions.
    • LifeHacker - Blog, with an editorial staff. It's a very well known, large blog. I'm... not sure if this passes our reliability threshold. If it does, this would be a second notability establisher... but I'm just not sure about this one.
    • San Jose Mercury News - Has a brief interview with the subject, but not ABOUT the subject... this article is about Uber, and GigSalad is the business equivalent of "little man on the street" in this article. Does not contribute to notability establishment.
    • Encore Magazine - Good article about the subject, not invalid for adding facts to the article... but this is an expressly local magazine, which does not provide notability establishment.
    • diymusician - A blog. Apparently a blog run by the editor of another publication? But still a blog, apparently without outside editorial review, which alas, means that this cannot be used to establish notability.
  • My threshold is two sources establishing notability. We have here one good strong one, and one that I'm not sure counts. Let's see if WP:NEXIST applies... are there any OTHER sources that offer notability? Checking google news...
    • Digital Music News - Good notability establishing article. Is the source reliable? I honestly don't know, and can't tell.
    • MarketingProfs - Paywalled article. I believe this is may be a reliable source, but I can't see the content. That said, the google preview of the content suggests that this MIGHT establish notability? "Much as Uber helps people to find a ride and Airbnb enables travelers to find homes to rent, GigSalad helps people planning events to connect ..."
    • Miami New Times - Reliable source. It's debatable whether this is a passing mention or not. No, the article isn't about gigsalad, but it does express that the writer used gigsalad to make a key point of the article, which implies that the writer finds gigsalad to be notable.
    • The Globe and Mail - Another reliable source, with a similar type of mention. The article isn't about gigsalad, but the author references gigsalad in a way implying notability.
  • I'm stopping here. Google news goes on quite a while with many, many such references to gigsalad. I believe that this establishes notability, per WP:NEXIST. Basically, many reliable sources are referencing gigsalad, and we have one reliable source which goes in depth about the subject. I'm going to have to go with a !vote for keep. Enough minor references just add up, in my opinion. Fieari (talk) 01:34, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as the nominator here is convincing at suggesting the exact concerns here and is emphasizing them better than what the Keep votes is suggesting; this is because it's all essentially PR, something I noticed was unbelievably accepted as there's no actual substance and the "news" is only PR or PR-like (like with other AfDs, this is all expected coverage). What the Keep vote is not mentioning is that there has in fact been consensus repeatedly here at AfD that such coverage is not convincing or substantial, especially not for guaranteeing this is an improvable article. I know I certainly would not have accepted, and I hope the fact it was accepted is not a defense for other articles. SwisterTwister talk 01:40, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @ST, the large sea of minor mentions by reliable sources are not mentioning it as a promotional thing, but as a useful tool that they used as part of their article, or as a mention that "this is the {implied notable} method that {person} did {thing}." And if it were just one or two such mentions, I'd agree that it wouldn't be enough, but the sheer volume of such mentions lends weight. Cumulatively, hundreds of minor mentions, in a non-promotional useful context, add up to smaller number of more substantial mentions. Fieari (talk) 03:02, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - My understanding of notability prior to writing the article is that it can be achieved by a high-profile piece of media (e.g. a profile the New York Times) or many smaller, less prestigious mentions. This is in line with what Fieari suggested in this discussion. For that reason I vote to keep. (Please let me know if, as the submitter, I shouldn't be involving myself here. I wasn't able to find documentation to that effect.)
  • If it's a matter of the article needing improvement (removing references to Inc. 5000 and the Springfield Business Journal, incorporating additional sources of notability Fieari discovered), I could do that quite easily. However, in line with WP:NEXIST, I don't believe that's necessary. Mischivin (talk)
First: Simply having one or a few convincing sources or that they are substantial, come from a major news source is not actually always an automatic confirmation of his own article, because then there are the concerns and thoughts of PR, something that is notoriously common with these subjects. Second, actually making claims of "having several trivial or "prestigious" minor mentions combined" is not a confirmation either, everything I have noted here has become a fact as shown by other AfDs closed as Delete. Sinply stating NEXIST defends not considering other sources especially when this would be essential and otherwise needed to not only improve this, but to make it convincingly keepable; saying "that's not necessary" essentially suggests an attempt to not consider the concerns. I specifically listed my concerns here as has the nominator. SwisterTwister talk 02:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per WP:NEXIST. The fact that press releases are currently used as references doesn't mean appropriate references don't exist. I think the combination of coverage listed above, and specifically Digital Music News, makes this company meet WP:GNG. Safehaven86 (talk) 02:30, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- un unremarkable small company going about its business. The article is advertorial in tone, so WP:PROMO applies. The coverage listed above is insufficient to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. For example, the article from Digital Music News includes this language:
  • "GigSalad invested their time in researching payment methods until they found the ideal service. They also altered their banking process to find the best integration for their members. The new service is called Bold Financial Technologies, the same service used by Airbnb, Saucey, and Zirx."
This is clearly very fluffy coverage, and possibly based on a press release y the company. Requirements are more stringent when looking for RS to substantiate notability of the subject, and this clearly misses the mark. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:38, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
