• Comment It isn't clear whether the Iraqi Premier League is professional or not, but it seems like it would be, particularly given the AFC Champions League berths. Plus, it isn't clear if the Olympic qualifier involved the "A" U23 team for Iraq, one would assume would satisfy criteria #1 of NFOOTY. Can these two things be clarified? South Nashua (talk) 01:15, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the Iraqi league is fully pro, and I doubt that it is, it hasn't been verified in reliable sources. A fully pro status cannot be inferred from the Champions League berths for two reasons. First, the berths do not actually exist. According to the article on the 2017 AFC Champions League, "Iraq did not fulfill the AFC Club Licensing Criteria." As such, no Iraqi clubs participated in the competition. Second, there are leagues that have such berths but are confirmed not fully pro (e.g. Bahrain). As for point #1 of WP:NFOOTY, to meet this point a footballer must have a played a tier 1 (i.e. senior level) international match or at the Olympic games. Olympic qualifiers are very deliberately not included. The guideline explicitly says that it does not cover youth level football, like the Olympic qualifiers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:50, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, didn't notice the part about the senior level. However, it appears he took part in the 2006 AFC Champions League, not the 2017 edition. I think it's important to get some clarity on the status of professionalism in this league in that era before moving forward on this article. If it can be confirmed that the league was not fully professional, deletion seems appropriate. South Nashua (talk) 02:05, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary WP:FPL works by assuming all leagues not listed there are not fully professional. Unless the player can be shown to meet GNG then the article should be deleted, though that does not preclude recreation at a later date if sources are presented at WT:FPL indicating full professionalism of the Iraqi League. Fenix down (talk) 09:19, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's incredibly unfortunate, but understandable. South Nashua (talk) 19:28, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One article in The Washington Post and an article in an anyone-can-edit Wiki do not suggest notability.

Any excuse in a storm to keep letting WP get filled with dreck. Jytdog (talk) 02:13, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:CB. More specifically, a WP: BEFORE indicates a dearth of persistent, in-depth coverage: [1], [2]. As for the 'A7 does not apply to this type of subject'; I assumed this to be some kind of joke. Is there some kind of inherent notability in lobbing pumpkins around with medieval siege engines? On edit, I see what you are trying to say- that it doesn't apply to objects, only people, events, companies etc, which is true. But the point was expressed poorly enough to raise an eyebrow. I suggest greater precision in edit summaries, so the reasoning is in plain sight. Apologies for the confusion. Incidentally, a merge with / redirect to trebuchet is within the bounds of possibility I suppose: but it would need a helluva lot of coverage in reliable sources into the future. — O Fortuna ^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 08:01, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

• ElThomas: I nominated it for speedy deletion; another editor removed the deletion template, which that editor had a right to do; I nominated it for deletion using this process, which I had a right to do. Anyone is free to express their belief that the article should be kept and to present evidence in support the notability of the topic, and I encourage editors to do so. None of this is vandalism; it's how things are supposed to work.

Warren Muck was an enlisted man with E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II. He parachuted into Europe twice and fought in Normandy, the Netherlands, and Belgium. He did not attain rank or receive awards to qualify him under WP:SOLDIER and he died in Belgium from artillery fire. His portrayal in Band of Brothers on TV is not as a major character.

Comment - "...and he died in Belgium when a trophy firearm discharged accidentally." This actually refers to Donald Hoobler, not Warren Muck. Muck was killed during an artillery strike. Commenting so there's no confusion. Chiafriend12 (talk) 13:39, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I would vouch that this page should stay, and while Muck isn't as "famous" as some other soldiers, he is still notable enough to warrant an article. The writing quality, reliable sources, and authorized images of the article make it quite comprehensive as well. My second choice would be to make it a redirect. ☞ Rim ^{< Talk | Edits >} 23:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability issue. —usernamekiran(talk) 20:41, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: According to the notability criteria, finishing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in a music competition grants notability, and the page states that this musician was 1st runner up on a TV music competition(which I take to mean 2nd place). The article is slim and could use some sourcing improvement, but this musician would seem to merit an article, unless you know information I do not. 331dot (talk) 20:46, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: hi. I apologise for the cnfusion. The subject, Rajan, didnt come up second or the runner up. It was the band that he is member of. I am still not sure if that reality show is over, and if the band won. Still searching on internet.

I am nominating this article for deletion, because creating a separate article just for a title belt design is pointless.

Oppose - I disagree. The history of championship belts is a standalone subject which is lacking on Wikipedia. This is an area which will be expanded upon. Given the vast information online it is certainly not "pointless" to many people. The history of this specific title and it's various belt designs goes back decades with too much information to include in the separate WWE championship page (including belt creators, design details, material, debut dates, background history etc.). Many professional wrestling articles of a much smaller interest have WP:SPINOUT (TNA Hall of Fame etc.)Bbx118 (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2017 (UTC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbx118 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hall of Fame in pro wrestling is radically different, but this is about the history of a championship belt design. We never create a separate articles for them, since it's redundant. Nickag989^talk 19:41, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is incorrect. 'The Big Gold Belt' for example has it's own page. If you believe it's redundant, then by definition of the word you believe it had meaning before. What changed this? Do you mean irrelevant? This seems to be leaning towards a POV. This article also covers all designs in the history of the championship, not just one design. No valid grounds for deletion nor any proposed alternatives to deletionBbx118 (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Neutral - I'm a bit on the fence with this one. I feel that the current WWE Championship article covers the designs well enough, but that's not to say that it can't be expanded into its own article if there is enough coverage that could talk about each design (the early designs may be a bit harder to find, unless their print sources have been uploaded online). In the meantime, I would suggest to at least add the sources from this new pending article to the design section on the WWE Championship article, as it needs sources. --JDC808 ♫ 20:02, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That section covers the title design belt much better than this article as a whole, even if it has the half size of it. Nickag989^talk 20:28, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The section does not go into nearly as much detail as the new article; hence it's creation and sourcing. There is simply too much information to cram into the WWE championship page without it looking bulky. Perhaps it would make sense to merge that section of the WWE championship page to this new page, since some information from there is now here (but expanded upon)?Bbx118 (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Expanded with what? Unreliable, unsourced content and poorly written sentences. That's why this article is too big. Nickag989^talk 22:22, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WWE.com etc. is not "unreliable, unsourced content". Please refrain from insulting members and simply edit where you see appropriate if you believe there are "poorly written sentences" (POV). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbx118 (talk • contribs) 17:42, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources that I deleted yesterday were clearly unreliable (am I saying that WWE.com is unreliable? never), because that's what I've done for a long time. As a nominator, I'm no longer going to edit this page. "The Big Gold" has its own article, since it's a historic professional wrestling championship belt that has represented multiple world championships throughout its history contested in various promotions. As far as the WWE Title goes, it spun off from NWA in 1963, it has represented the symbol of WWE since then, and it has undergone many name changes, title design (unlike the Big Gold Belt), unifications etc. There's clearly not enough material nor independent notability for its own separate article, due to the fact that the belt designs are part of the championship (the history of title holders is different). Nickag989^talk 18:40, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are not sources to merit keeping it. Some sections don't even have sources. If you really want to the article, put it in your sandbox and edit it as you can. Otherwise it needs to be deleted. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 10:57, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The section at the article is enough. The material doesn't have sufficient independent notability for its own article. The belt designs are part and parcel of the championship, and unlike the history of title holders, it's not large enough to need to be spun out. oknazevad (talk) 12:58, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Administrative position not high enough for automatic notability through WP:PROF (he was not head of an entire university) so to be notable he needs to pass WP:GNG, which requires multiple reliably-published sources, independent of him, that provide significant coverage of him. But that's not what we have; instead, we have stories that mention him only in passing or that quote him rather than covering him. And the claim that he was a leader in changes to college admissions, rather than merely being an administrator during those changes, are only very weakly supported by the sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Absent evidence of verifiability through coverage in reliable sources of the claims in the article, such as that Ware competed in the Winter Olympics (or at a similar competitive level), I see no other outcome besides "delete" here. While it is likely that Ben Ware exists, this article is being deleted because it consists almost entirely of unverifiable information, especially as it is a biography of a living person.

I think this is a hoax article. I tried fact checking a few things but with no luck. I tried some fact checks, such as Googling "Team Green Kawasaki" and it is something that exists, but I can't find a connection with them and a Ben Ware. When I google "Ben Ware" and Motocross pretty much all that comes up is the reference already cited - in which a Ben Ware places 67th out of 150 in some event in Dorset. Nothing about Winter Olympics, nothing about Maxxis, nothing about Monster Energy. As it isn't a blatant hoax, Ben Ware seems to exist (there is a Twitter account for a Ben Ware who does do motocross, see @benwareuk, but he's only posted for a bit in 2015) and there is ONE reference, plus claims of notability in his being an Olympian (two years running, which is amazingly impressive for an four-yearly event) I see no option but to take to AFD.

I race motocross professionally and have competed with Ben a few times throughout the years so I can assure you that he is no hoax and a respected rider amongst the youth riders in the UK. The only detail that I could find that is potentially wrong in this article is the year that he won the British nationals as I believe it was 2014. He uses various social media accounts, mainly instagram, that you could check for further information. Kobush99 (talk) 18:48, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This currently fails WP:V and is a borderline WP:HOAX. While the 90th Academy Awards will almost certainly take place, the submissions for the Best Foreign Language film don't start for some months yet. The two sources pertain to the last list, and the dates for this year's list have not been announced by the Academy. The one entry in the list is not sourced, and nothing supports that submission online either. Futhermore, the article's creator has past form for adding unsourced information to similar lists in the past, which they have been taken to ANI about and blocked. They've just come off a block for creating non-notable articles, with a history of disruption which strongly suggests WP:NOTHERE.

Not your household Star Trek name - this is a comic book/novel character. Sources are primarily primary (novels, etc.). Influences section looks promising - until one realizes it is based on a mailing list/blog comments by the author who invented this character (primary/OR/self-published/etc.). There is nothing to suggest this character has significance outside niche fandom discussions, and certainly nothing that warrants him being in an encyclopedia. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:47, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The character indeed debuted in a novel (not a comic book), and Peter David's site is indeed a blog (not a "mailing list").

• Keep 1) No deletion rationale advanced: even if it's non-notable WP:ATD expects that it be merged or redirected. There's no question it's verifiable. 2) Several RS'es exist, specifically in the 'news' and 'books' sections of the above {{Find sources AFD}} template, sufficient to meet GNG. 3) As a notable author, Peter David's own comments meet WP:SPS. Jclemens (talk) 05:35, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • No keep rationale advanced. If you want to merge, vote so or do it, there is no rule saying merge has to proposed before deletion. I don't see what could be merged - he deserves a one-sentence on some list of ST characters at most. WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES - please cite them, and please don't cite in-universe plot summaries; those are not sufficient. And no, author's comments about his own character on a blog/discussion list/social media/etc. don't suffice to establish a character's notability. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Piotrus, there never needs to be a keep rationale: rebutting the delete rationale is sufficient. In this case, as nominator, you are positively asserting that nothing in WP:ATD is relevant--not improvement, not merging, not redirection--and that therefore the existing article should be removed from Wikipedia and nothing left in its place. Your nominations consistently fail this, and I do find it quite frustrating that you seem immune to any education on your responsibilities as nominator. You think all it take is starting an AfD that says 'NN, delete' and then anyone arguing keep has the burden to provide sources. Sorry, but WP:BEFORE makes it clear that the nominator is expected to do the work beforehand. Jclemens (talk) 04:52, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Jclemens I don't understand your point. Both deletion and keep arguments need a rationale. And I provided my rationale: failure at WP:GNG. PS. I am quite fine with soft deletion, merging and redirecting, and you should know that by now. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:12, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • How many times need I explain 1) that you need to do WP:BEFORE, 2) how to do it effectively, and 3) how to communicate your findings to justify deletion as opposed to any other outcome preferred by WP:ATD? Seriously, what part of that is unclear? Jclemens (talk) 02:43, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • You cannot seriously think those are reliable, and on topic. That he has action figures doesn't make him notable, and the product description plus few blog fan comments on the figure are hardly helpful for anything except to reference a sentence saying he has an action figure - which, again, does not make him notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:24, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of Star Trek: New Frontier characters: I am not convinced about this particular character's notability as I do not necessarily see a significant amount of coverage on this subject in third-party, notable sources. It would be greatly beneficial if the keep votes could provide the links to the sources that support this character meets the notability standards, as I can see all of the information regarding this subject fitting rather comfortably in the list article. I would be more than happy to change my vote to keep if I could see more links (and I do not believe the links about the existence of an action figure are particularly useful in this context). While I think the Peter David links are good and permissible, I think this article needs a few more third-party sources on the development or reception of the character would greatly help to support this subject's notability. I apologize for the length of my response and I look forward to a longer discussion about this. As someone who greatly enjoys creating articles about fictional characters (and I have received some notes about their questionable notability as well), I would greatly appreciate hearing a little more from the "keep" votes. Thank you in advance. Aoba47 (talk) 15:31, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the claim for notability is that he is the most notable character from New Frontier, and that there are enough references to support a stand-alone article rather than merging into that list. I'd consider references in the context of Star Trek (the TV series) to be sufficient; I don't believe there's consensus as to whether those exist. Power~enwiki (talk) 20:43, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response; it just would be helpful to get some links to the references that are considered as enough support to satisfy the notability standards. If I could see those links, I would be more than happy to change my vote, but I just am not seeing them when looking online. Aoba47 (talk) 03:12, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

From a Google news search, [8] is the best I can find for the character, and that's a trivial reference. [9] actively avoids mentioning him by name but does reference him. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:40, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I do not believe that those two sources (especially the Hollywood Reporter one, which is extremely trivial) is enough to support the notability of this character, but I will leave the discussion to other, more experienced users.

• Redirect to The Amazing Spider-Man (TV series). It has received some notable coverage and reviews, but the current article has only two sources, and they're both Amazon. The articles is essentially cast and plot, both of which are at the proposed target. I have no objection to the articles being split out after the sourced content is expanded. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:49, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The notable coverage you indicate are mostly list articles, blogs or other non-reliable websites thus do not significantly cover any of the three films. (WP:N - "those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time") The reviews link brings up just space for reviews or short reviews (not over 300 words) not there for not significant reviews (per WP:NFSOURCES "Examples of coverage insufficient to fully establish notability include newspaper listings of screening times and venues, 'capsule reviews', ..."). Reliable notable sources do not current exist. Spshu (talk) 19:07, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GNG, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material" - Therefore, some of the list articles do count toward reliable sourcing and discussion of the subject. There are some critical reviews if you scroll past the first page of results, but the content is still pretty light. Hence, my !vote to redirect. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To the overall length of the list articles generally they have had trival mentions, not more than a few lines just to be complete. Spshu (talk) 00:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Definitely not notable. Article is all plot and the "sources" are from Amazon; I'm not sure what the three "keep" voters above are thinking. Even trying to gather out-of-universe content to improve the article would be next to impossible since a whopping two pages on Google make barely a mention of this picture, mainly by non-viable niche sites like comicreview and rateyourmusic. sixtynine ^{• speak up •} 00:03, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I found three more sources for the 1977 film: [10][11][12]. I would strongly reccomend going through JSTOr and Google Books some more before closing this. These are some of the earliest Spider-Man films, and there is some indication that sources are covering these films in that context. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:27, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. These source most just indicated that the films exists and should be covered in WP but not enough signification coverage for their own article. Deseret News article has 171 out of 1356 words (only 12.6%) about the three TV series based films and is not the original sources (Sources: io9.com's "The Secret History of Spider-Man Movies," spidermanfilms.wikia.com, comicbookmovie.com, weminoredinfilm.com's "6 Spider-Man Movies That Almost But Thankfully Didn't Get Made," wikipedia.com). Using WP, WP based sites, WP sourced articles or other wiki powered site (wikia.com) as a source is not allowed. Nor is 12.6% of an article signification coverage. The IO9 has even less about (166 words) the three TV films. And none of the books give signification coverage as the books are not about the three movies, not just about Spider-Man and have brief entries. Spshu (talk) 13:20, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Selective Merge I listed a few potential sources late last night because I was concerned that the deletion nomination would be closed before a proper examination of all possible sources could be performed. I went through Google Books, JSTOR and a few other places, and I am now of the opinion that a merge is the best option. There were a number of book and a few media sources covering the various movies, but they did not contain much information beyond a plot summary, the connection to the television series and a few interesting tidbits about the production. All in all, I think that these films are extremely relevant to the history of Spider-Man, but that the coverage is just not substantial enough to write a fleshed out article. (Most of the articles do not have many citations to reliable sources, which is why I am proposing a selective merge of the limited cited content). Spirit of Eagle (talk) 17:48, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Seems to be a legit, made for TV movie (though low budget). Authorised Spider Man Marvel movie, so can't see any reason not to keep it, when others of it's nature are notable for Wikipedia.

Is this a special case of Wikipedia:ICANTHEARYOU where you are unintentionally being "disruptive and time wasting"? It seems to me that you made up your mind before you looked at the sources in the article and did not do a Google search at all. If that's the case, you're a waste of space and you desrve a topic ban from AfDs. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:05, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Wow, disruptive and time-wasting? Feel better? You could always have waited until you were less cranky to respond (unless this is your normal mood). Had I known that the breaking of your beloved indentation would prove so traumatic, I could have asked an easier-to-understand question - saved you the bother of creating an answer to a question nobody has asked. Nevertheless, you've put a lot of effort into your response....

You appear to understand what WP:RS is all about (great) but I asked specifically about CORPDEPTH and ORGIND which maybe you missed in what I've now assumed was a red mist of rage (inadvertently) caused by my asking a simple question (which I thought is the point, after all, of discussions on AfD). I asked Can you pick a couple that you believe are acceptable with regards to those criteria but there's nothing in your vinegary response to indicate that you have critically examined the *contents* of the articles being referred to and I apologize for not anticipating the trouble you obviously had with the word "couple".

For example. Here's the "official" Press Release for the Francisco Partners acquisition at the start of the month. Compared against the first RS you list I would say it fails ORGIND as the news article is plainly regurgitating a Press Release.

Similarly, the other RS you proclaim is this blog post from bizjournals. I was always under the impression that blogs are considered self-published and therefore fail RS.

But, you know Walter, it is clear that all you really want is to drive away collegiate editors that are interested in quality articles who ask really simply questions (apologies again for using that difficult word "couple") so I'll just leave this as it is and leave my !vote unchanged. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 07:57, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't really care about CORPDEPTH or ORGIND since they all die in respect to GNG. Sorry to have pissed you off. No, no all blogs are not considered self-pubs. If it's a self-published blog it certainly is. If it's writing for a company that has an editorial process, it's not. I won't comment on the rest of your diatribe per WP:TROLLFOOD, but I will say, in relation to assuming that I was responding in anger (or rage), you might want to read about psychological projection.

No real indication of notability, as defined by WP:PROF. For starters, there are no sources, which is kind of a problem. She doesn't appear to meet any of the criteria, but I'll just zero in on point 6. The subject is indeed an administrator, but a rather low-level one. She is - see here - a prodecan, or "vice dean". That's below rector, vice rector and dean. She's one of five vice deans in her faculty. It's a step above department head, but a long way from establishing notability under point 6.

totally non-notable album that does not meet the requirements of NALBUM: there are no professional reviews, nor is there any discussion of the album in reliable sources. the best of the internet is this link, [13], and that is just another webzine. I had redirected the article but it was restored here, [14], by User:Yk49, who said he added references--but that's to Roth's own website and to Blabbermouth, which is just a zine and not a reliable source. User:Atlantic306's revert is not very useful either: he clearly didn't see that there is no proper sourcing for the article, which is simply not notable by Wikipedia standards. Mindy Dirt (talk) 15:18, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment If a bold redirect is reverted it should go to AFD or at least be discussed on the talk page.

• Blabbermouth is generally considered an WP:RS. It's usable for news too, the consensus is just to be cautious on BLP stuff. See WP:MUSIC/SOURCES. Sergecross73 msg me 15:55, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(User:Sergecross73, that is news to me, and it's somewhat surprising given Blabbermouth's lack of editorial oversight and their tendency to (re)publish everything they run into, including press releases. There is a claim of reliability in their article, sourced to the London Free Press--it was introduced in 2009, but that supposed article is nowhere to be found--look. So I don't believe that Blabbermouth is that reliable, but more importantly I don't believe that it's that important. One review on Blabbermouth, one user-submitted review on a website that seems to lack editorial oversight, isn't enough for notability. Mindy Dirt (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this particular situation, I do agree with you - that Blabbermouth source is rather short - not exactly siginificant coverage about the article subject. But in a general sense, I'd be rather shocked if it wasn't deemed reliable in a general sense. I've used the website heavily these last 5-7 years in writing articles and saving articles at AFD, and I don't recall ever running into any opposition over it.

• Redirect - I couldn't find enough reliable sources to meet the WP:GNG - a very short Blabbermouth.net source is not enough. Open to re-evaluating should someone come up with better sources off-line someday - the album was released in the mid-90s, before online sources were prevalent, and judging by some the type of coverage he receives in later albums, they may exist out there somewhere. (Though, then again, even Allmusic doesn't cover this release, despite covering others, so who knows.) Very little can be sourced now, so its best to redirect for now, and spinout if/when sourcing is provided and prose is written. Sergecross73 msg me 15:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A child actor who has acted in various drama series in Singapore. However, she is not as notable as other established actors/artistes in Singapore and should not be warranted an article. Winning awards in a local award show should not define the actress' notability in the Singaporean entertainment scene. DerricktanJCW (talk) 16:11, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because all of the following are also pages about Singaporean child actors who do not have much notability in Singapore. It seems like someone has been trying to mass create Wikipedia articles for Singaporean child actors. I have came to notice about this as I am a regular editor of the page Star Awards for Young Talent. Many child actors' names have been linked to a standalone article of themselves. I have read through the articles and found them really unnecessary as most of them do not have any notability.

Not a notable economist. No claim made for notability. Clearly fails WP:PROF. LK (talk) 02:32, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep One of the topmost figures in contemporary Austrian libertarian economics,[16] she is acknowledged formally as the one who introduced the Tiger by the Tail theory of Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek.^[1][17][18][19][20] Here's an obit of Shenoy by John Blundell (economist). One more by Steven Horwitz. Another by Robert Higgs.[21] Another obit by Chris Matthew Sciabarra. And one more by Karen en De Coster.

• Delete. Academics are judged by by the impact their work has had on others. Although she has worked with a very influential economist, her citations on GS (Sudha R Shenoy) are too small to pass WP:Prof#C1. I am open to change my vote on production of better evidence. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:37, 19 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

• Hello Xxanthippe, I was actually looking at the impact she has had (broadly construed, as suggested by WP:PROF#1), documented by reliable sources. For example, Lawrence H. White writes that she "was one of the first to promote liberalization of Indian economic policy during the 1970s."^[35] He also writes in another co-authored report, "Nevertheless, in India in the 1940s and 1950s, no one in academic circles other than Shenoy fought against statism and central planning."^[36] The European Center of Austrian Economics Foundation considers her amongst the 6th generation of eminent Austrian economists, alongside Nobel laureates like Vernon Smith.^[37] Robert Leeson writes in his book that when Sudha Shenoy along with Richard Ebeling, Gary North, Murray Rothbard et al "initiated an Austrian revivalist conference in 1974, one of the highlights was the baiting of Friedman [...] Subsequently, US Presidents and Presidential hopefuls embraced the Austrian School of Economics."^[38] These works and many such other references point out to the impact her work has had globally. I would look forward to whether you may consider this perspective of WP:PROF#1, which says "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed,... the absence of references in Google Scholar should not be used as proof of non-notability." Lourdes 00:29, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. This is an unusual case. Although she appears to have been a committed disciple of the great Friedrich Hayek (a GS h-index of 107 no less!) she seems to have done little on her own and has not held a substantial academic position. Maybe WP:GNG would help? Xxanthippe (talk) 00:54, 20 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks. With Steven Horwitz addressing her as "truly one of the founders of the Austrian revival"^[39] and John Blundell describing her as "the original pin-up model of the Austrian school of thought in economics,"^[40] I would prefer WP:PROF as that explicitly considers the impact rather than the number of her works ("Having published does not, in itself, make an academic notable, no matter how many publications there are. Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study."). Thanks. Lourdes 01:08, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The difficulty is the lack of citations to independent work. Her highest cited publication A Tiger by the Tail gets only 79 citations on GS and anyway was written by Hayek; she only compiled it. She evidently was a person much regarded in the circle of libertarian economists ("pin-up girl", a sexist remark if ever I heard one), as the several obituaries that you quote show, but Wikipedia is not a repository for obituaries WP:NOTMEMORIAL. I can't see a pass of WP:Prof here, but, as I suggested before, can a case be made for WP:GNG? (late sign) Xxanthippe (talk) 06:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Hello again. I'm sorry but I think you misunderstand WP:NOTMEMORIAL. The guideline refers to not using Wikipedia as a memorial service for non-notable individuals like one's friends, relatives.... It does not prohibit the usage of obituaries written by reliable sources to prove notability of subjects. In fact, reliably sourced obits are one of the best sources on Wikipedia to understand and confirm enduring notability (e.g. in my references above Chris Matthew Sciabarra too calls her "one of the great, and gentle, voices of the Austrian economics revival." This points to the impact she has had). Notwithstanding that, I would mention that the sources I quoted of White, Austrian Economics Foundation, Robert Leeson are not obits. In my opinion, these sources – combined with obits given by Blundell, Horwitz, Sciabarra, et al (all of whom mention that she is one of the founders of Austrian school revival or that she is amongst the great Austrian economists), satisfies WP:PROF, a guideline which attempts to assess the impact of the individual on their respective field etc. WP:PROF also considers editorial board membership in respectable publications (to which part, I have provided a source above confirming that the subject was an editorial board member of The Review of Austrian Economics). I realize that you may not agree with my view, but I have to thank you for the time you've taken to assess the subject. I look forward to interact with you again across Wikipedia. Cheers.

All of the obits listed above appear to be personal blogs, and hence not reliable. Were there any obituaries published in newspapers, journals, or other reliable sources. (Not counting paid death notices in newspapers; I mean only the newspaper obituaries that the newspaper editors publish themselves.) —David Eppstein (talk) 04:49, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello David, no. I haven't been able to find any newspaper/journal obits. Lourdes 08:10, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As discussed above, she does not appear to pass WP:PROF but might pass WP:GNG. However, all sources in the article and provided about her above are either unreliable blogs or (for one reference currently in the article) an interview with the subject, something that past AfDs have found not to contribute to GNG notability. So I don't see a pass at this time, but I would be willing to change my mind if better sources turn up. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:52, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete This article presents her as an academic, hence, the relevant guideline is WP:PROF , which is generally more lenient than WP:GNG. She clearly fails to pass any of the criteria at WP:PROF. In her field of Economics (broadly construed, as suggested by WP:PROF#1), or more narrowly Development economics, the impact she has had is negligible to non-existent. Austrian school economics is a methodology, and should not a considered her field of study. LK (talk) 02:20, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. SNOW--no other conclusion is imaginable. This was tagged for G11, and the tag was unwisely removed. DGG ( talk ) 06:59, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not in English, not notable, promotional, COI, deleted repeatedly from Spanish Wikipedia. There should really be a way of swiftly getting rid of this kind of junk without invoking a full AfC and expecting people to translate it so its "notability" can be evaluated.
