The Gayly Oklahoman

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable newspaper. Google shows hits, but I don't see anything substantial from clearly reliable sources in the first few pages. Google Books can establish that it existed, but little more. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:46, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: In looking over those links, I find they fall into three categories: Wiki mirrors, directory listings and the rare citation on an online resume. Nary a reliable source discussing this years-defunct publication in "significant detail" to be found. Beyond that, with the See Also links referring to a purported LGBT neighborhood in Oklahoma City and to the 2004 anti-same-sex-marriage referendum, this looks like a coatrack for Oklahoman LGBT topics.

The Essential

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No secondary sources for this compilation album. Only sources are primary. The fact that several albums in this series have certified platinum means that those individual albums are notable but the series isn't. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/16 Biggest Hits, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Super Hits, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection — same reasoning holds up here.

Delete - for the same reasons as found in the AfDs for similar series as linked in this nomination. Individual albums within the series can stand or fall on their own merits, but the series has not achieved notability as an entity separate from the albums within it. Also, the disambig list idea is a pretty good one. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Federlandese (coin)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is a hoax. A google search returns only items that directly or indirectly came from this Wikipedia article. Had the coin been real, it would have been a highly notable subject. Alfons Åberg (talk) 20:33, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I found this book on Goths that mentions the Federlandese in it's synopsis. Besides, this is clearly not an "obvious hoax", let's not punish people who may have obscure knowledge of coins by preemptively deleting their articles.AerobicFox (talk) 22:17, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I renew my objection. Although I can see how the word "Federlandese" may not receive any other results but it's German equivalents "fædreland", "fædrelandet", and "fædrelande" all do receive many results. It's not too hard of a stretch to imagine Federlandese just being a poor English translation attempting to avoid using the "æ" character.
  Nonetheless, without the user commenting back I think the below evidence pointed out fairly adds too much questionability to this article for it to be kept without references. AerobicFox (talk) 23:29, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - "Fædreland" and equivalents in other Germanic languages simply means fatherland, so it doesn't contribute to the reliability of the information in the article. Alfons Åberg (talk) 02:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No sources. The book above is a machine print of Wikipedia articles. Article is likely a hoax. Kaldari (talk) 22:28, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There's literally zero reason to assume this is a hoax and not just a poorly sourced article on an obscure subject.AerobicFox (talk) 22:29, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well besides the fact that there are no sources on the web or in Google Books mentioning this coin, the article and photo were both contributed by a user with zero other edits (but who is somehow completely familiar with Wikipedia article-writing conventions). That's plenty suspicious enough for me. If sources turn up later, the article can easily be recreated. Kaldari (talk) 22:36, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Had this "coin" been real, it would have pre-dated the oldest known Scandinavian coins by perhaps ~800 years, so we would have heard of it elsewhere. Also, people in Scandinavia didn't have a monetary economy 2100 years ago. Alfons Åberg (talk) 02:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment That link's not working for me. Yes it is, now. Only mentions the word, not the coin. The article was created by someone who set up a userpage detailing their languages in one go, created this article (also in one go) and then disappeared. (I am assuming they didn't create anything else subsequently deleted, as their talk page was created today by Ten Pound Hammer - or an otter - and so there have been no warnings.) I would be interested to hear from Defroll77 as to their source of info, and where they photographed this coin. It is listed as 'own work' in the picture info. I would also like anyone to point out the runes on the coin. Also, I quote from Runic alphabet, "The earliest runic inscriptions date from around AD 150", which is about 250 years after this alleged Gothic coin. I can't see anything resembling the Elder Futhark or Old Italic scripts there. Not in enough quantity to spell out the coin's name. Another point is that at the period in question, the Goths were probably still on ring money - and their coins when produced later were imitations of Roman ones. This coin reminds me of something, but I couldn't say what. Referring to "obscure knowledge of coins", I would say this user's knowledge is so obscure as to constitute original research. One last thing - I would not normally quote Yahoo! Answers, but I found this: Q "What is "Books LLC"? Publisher? I have noticed they have compiled some articles from Wikipedia and have published them as books. Can anybody do the same thing?" I think we can say goodbye to that source as showing anything more than commercial mirroring... Peridon (talk) 23:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You can always look at Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/Abc#Books, LLC, or User:Fences and windows/Unreliable sources#Wikipedia mirrors, instead. Uncle G (talk) 00:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment again I am very inclined to think this is a hoax - and one of the best I've come across so far. As a hoax, I'd give it 9/10. The dating is wrong, and the 'own work' picture lets it down too. Peridon (talk) 23:23, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. For the image at least: if you take a closer look on the "two" coins you will see that this is one coin (or whatever), mirrored, only the inner part is edited. At the outer part all is identically, all shapes, all damages, all rust. So the image at least isnt real. For the article it is quite obvious that this is a hoax. E.g. the claim of coining in northern europe in 1st century BC can not fly. A vague suspicion is the it.wp connection of our user Defroll77. The only other hit for that Fedelandese thing leads to a troll image in it.wp added by a user Cam22 with similar editing pattern short before on November 25 2009 (that image is a copyvio too). --Martin H. (talk) 23:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to point out though, the "two coins" are actually just supposed to be one coin, front and back. That's why they're the same shape...AerobicFox (talk) 05:17, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you missed Martin H.s point. You could tell from the two images that they were originally one and the same image. That image had then been mirrored in photoshop, after which the obverse and reverse design features had been added, also in photoshop (or something similar). Alfons Åberg (talk) 07:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, at least one side of the coin is not existant, its only a mirrored and edited variant of the other side. Supposably the back side is fake, it contains a Langnese heart logo and a smily face. --Martin H. (talk) 13:36, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Ok, thats funny now. Cam22 added the Federlandese troll image. 93.48.97.181 added it in it.wp. 93.48.97.181 also edited the article nds-nl:Pigazzano, that article history here in en.wp, Pigazzano, leads us to an deleted image, deleted on Commons because of commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Federlandia. Obviously there already was some crosswiki vandalism with hoax articles resolved. This is only a comeback. --Martin H. (talk) 23:59, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Deleted the image since it is obviously a fake, and thus out of scope. Kaldari (talk) 02:02, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 01:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete so many gross historical inaccuracies that this qualifies as an obvious hoax. In fact I wonder why the "speedy" was removed from this article (and am even more surprised by the "rescue" tag). But then again, I only became aware of this after the image was deleted, so I can't say whether the picture may possibly have made the hoax more believable as I haven't seen it. --Saddhiyama (talk) 17:36, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Peridon made a good case for this being an obvious hoax. You can't have a coin that uses writing that wasn't invented until centuries after it was made. Dream Focus 18:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The hoax is obvious to some, but not others. I've unspeedied more than one article tagged as hoax by adding refs to show it was real (and ended up referencing a Norwegian article in one case - I went there for refs, they hadn't got any, so I found one or two). I would be unlikely to spot a hoax concerning American football (if it isn't all one anyway...), or Turkish politics. Peridon (talk) 22:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Me as well, but that is also why I refrain from unspeedying articles on those subjects, I know I am not qualified to make that call. --Saddhiyama (talk) 15:31, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As to the picture making it more believable - yes, it did. It must have done. This article has been on here for 12 months. Only when it was looked at closely did it fail. I've seen real subjects that at first sight looked much more hoax-like than this - Bobble-head doll syndrome was one that sounded fake from the word go. But it wasn't. What I immediately didn't like about the coin was the lack of visibility of the claimed runes and the presence of a Mr Chad-like face (see Kilroy was here. And others obviously didn't like it either... But only after the nominator had brought it to our attention. (I must have missed its appearance - I patrol New Accounts - but with it being a single edit creation, that's very possible.) Peridon (talk) 01:20, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bootstrap paradox

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Note. I've moved the article from the old title Ontological paradox to a new title Bootstrap paradox. --Lambiam 18:44, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who has seriously studied the philosophical problems of time travel knows that this is not a serious problem discussed in any depth anywhere. No scholarly reference could be found, and this article is purportedly written about a scholarly subject. That's the challenge for someone who wants to keep this article afloat. Godsoflogic (talk) 20:22, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who has seriously studied the philosophical problems of time travel (including people such as Michael Lockwood) would know that the real problem with this article is simply its name, and that the name used in the literature is information paradox/knowledge paradox (more rarely bootstrap paradox). Anyone who was experienced with MediaWiki, furthermore, would know that simple exercise of the page move tool and the editing tool can fix this problem, deletion tool not required. Uncle G (talk) 23:07, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps I have not read this article sufficiently closely or have mistaken it for something else. I thought that the article purports to be on a different problem than the information paradox-one that deals with material objects instead of information. I agree that the information problem is well known. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Godsoflogic (talk • contribs) 22:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't know about the "seriousness" of this problem, but it appears notable in fiction as is seen by the extensive list of examples here. Maybe rename to List of fictional portrayals of time travel paradoxes or something.--Pontificalibus (talk) 23:26, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now the original author is blocked I'd be happy to go with a soft redirect. andy (talk) 00:10, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is not a dictionary definition because it does not have a lexical focus. It is obviously possible to write more upon this topic as it is commonplace and so has been extensively studied. For some sources see:

Colonel Warden (talk) 00:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Oh for goodness sake! It was written as an act of vandalism, it doesn't go beyond a very poor dicdef, so what exactly do you want to keep? Why not simply write a whole new article to replace this one - and do it yourself rather than saying that someone could do better? Anyway you've forgotten disambiguation - we need to be able to differentiate nagging as scolding from nagging as niggling pains or nagging as awkward memories. You'll find more in the subject in wiktionary (?!) andy (talk) 00:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous technical errors in your argument.

This is not a WP:DICDEF because it has no focus upon a particular word - no etymology, spelling, grammar &c. That policy explains that editors are often confused by the shortness of an article but that this is no reason to consider the item as a dicdef.
The complaint that you are making is instead WP:PERMASTUB - that the article is not able to be expanded. But this has been rebutted by pointing to sources which demonstrate such potential.

Actually, the article muddles up the dictionary definition and the behavioural phenomenon of nagging. It's the latter that might be worth an article - but this isn't it.

You say that the article should be written afresh. But this is not our editing policy. We do not keep deleting articles until someone gets it right. We keep them in mainspace so that numerous editors may slowly improve the article over time. This early draft has made a good start by citing the nagging letter from an Assyrian wife. This is supported by a citation of the BBC, which is a reliable source, and is easily confirmed - see A history of the ancient Near East. This sourced material should be kept, as advised by our editing policy.

It's not an early draft. Mostly the purpose of the present article is as a vehicle for juvenile humour - e.g. on the talk page the author refers to his "jackass links" and the "cheap shot" about Hilary Clinton. He describes the article as a laugh and himself as a smartass. Remove the rubbish and what is left? A single quotation which is not set in any kind of context. Let's face it, not every article can be rescued.

You describe the article is vandalism. This description fails to assume good faith. It seems that this editor has been bitten before and so has something to say about this on the talk page. But the article itself does not editorialise in this way and, even if it did, this wouldn't be vandalism. The most one might say is that the article is tongue-in-cheek. But we have lots of articles like this and we commonly feature such an article on April 1st. See wife selling for a similar example. This was thought so ridiculous that some mainstream media described it as a hoax. But it was 100% accurate and so the joke was upon them. Don't let this happen to you.

I did assume good faith, right up to the point where it became clear that the author was a vandal (now blocked for it). andy (talk) 12:03, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, you challenge me to do this work myself. Be careful what you wish for...

No, I do wish for it. Please be my guest. If you can turn it into a real article I'll withdraw my nomination. andy (talk) 12:03, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Colonel Warden (talk) 11:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The best we can hope for here is a dictionary definition, at worst this will end up being a basket of sentences where people give examples of what they see as nagging. A redirect to wiktionary would be acceptable as well. AniMate 10:54, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As explained above, by WP:DICDEF, this is not a dictionary definition. And "basket of sentences" is an empty criticism, not a policy-based argument. See WP:RUBBISH. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The arguments for deletion appear to be two-fold. Firstly that the article was written by an editor now blocked, as an act of vandalism. But even if true that would be irrelevant so long as the product was good. Secondly, that this is now and could never be more than a dictionary definition, which as CW has demonstrated above is patently untrue. Nagging has sociological and psychological effects on the nagger and the nagee, something that would be outside the scope of a simple dictionary definition to explore. That no editor has yet stepped up to expand this stub is not an argument for deletion. Malleus Fatuorum 15:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article as it is now is fine. It is more than just a definition. Google book search shows many books have been published about nagging. Dream Focus 17:53, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: a disparate scattering of uses of a term (and in one case, non-use of the term) demonstrates neither notability nor that the topic is a fit subject for an encyclopaedic article. You could as easily come up with such a grab-bag of sources for an article (NOT a disambiguation page, Colonel Warden) on People in history named Robert, Brown dog, Things that smell like strawberries, or who knows what else. As WP:IINFO states: "As explained in the policy introduction, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia."

What about all the Google book search results that have "Nagging" in their title, and which are clearly about this concept? Dream Focus 04:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"What about all the Google book search results that have"... brown dog ..."in their title"? I would note that the 'nagging' titles use the term more frequently in terms of either "nagging sense of...", "nagging questions", "nagging, pleading, and threatening", "nagging, nit-picking, & nudging", "Yelling, Nagging and Pleading", (and even in one instance as a metaphor in computer searches) than baldly -- meaning that there is considerably less than full clarity about the concept, which appears to bleed into a wide range of related concepts. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 05:15, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. This sounds a little bit like original research to me. This "rescue" process has taken a dictionary definition, emptied the article of all content except for the title and rebuilt it in a manner that supports only one out of several meanings of the term from a psychological perspective. What about a linguistic perspective, for example? The fact is that there is no single such thing as nagging. And btw that's all in wiktionary in a very succinct form. andy (talk) 12:06, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If we have an article on nagging can we have articles on pestering or bothering? AniMate 12:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources in article and above. Content of article extends beyond dictionary definition and into academic study of behaviour. - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:42, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Says who? This is one (Western, psychological, anti-feminist) aspect of "nagging". A proper treatment would start with disambiguation and then consider a far wider range of academic interpretations. Personally I find the emphasis in this article on the alleged female aspects of nagging as offensive and POV, so much so that if this particular AfD fails I'm inclined to relist it in order to tackle this discrimination. andy (talk) 00:49, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your original objection was that this was just a dictionary definition. Now that it isn't just a dictionary definition your ground seems to have changed to its alleged anti-feminist bias. But bias is not a reason for deletion, rather it ought to be a motivation for improvement. It would be interesting, for instance, if you could come up with any equivalent of the scold's bridle that was commonly used on men. Malleus Fatuorum 01:00, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Andy, you're welcome to address alleged bias by editing the article to introduce well-sourced opposing viewpoints. But the topic itself is not inherently discriminatory, and AfD is not the venue for cleanup, content disputes, or resolving ideological arguments. Either the article falls into one of the reasons for deletion or, as in this case, it doesn't. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:31, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: thinking about it, Nagging should probably be a disambiguation page between an article on something like Dysfunctional social behaviour (or any other more encyclopaedic topic covering 'nagging somebody') and Anxiety ('nagging doubts', 'nagging question', 'nagging sense of..."). The unforeseen consequences of attempting to 'rescue' a WP:DICTDEF. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 03:29, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We generally pick article names on the basis of their usage in reliable sources. The sources unearthed so far for this article uniformly refer to "nagging", not "dysfunctional social behaviour". If it really bothers you, a rename to "Nagging (behaviour)" would probably be the minimum necessary to disambiguate, and redirect nagging there until such time as other articles are created. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:34, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(i) Reliable sources appear to indicate no significantly greater usage for 'nagging' (behaviour) than for 'pestering' (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL), 'bothering' (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL), 'nit-picking' (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) or similar synonyms. (ii) Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. As such it attempts to articulate, in formal terms, broad scholarly themes, and uses redirects and disambiguations to link buzz-words & informalisms to these. (iii) As I indicated, I have not particular attachment to 'dysfunctional social behaviour', but suggest that an article needs to be framed by a title stating a scholarly articulation of the broad issue, not an informal word for one aspect of it.

Comment. I've just spent some time going through the "rescued" article and I'm depressed by the mediocrity of the writing and the references. There are some major unjustified assumptions and elisions that are very misleading, in particular the assumption that nagging is a social or psychological issue. The references on the other hand tend to see it as a speech behaviour which can best be understood through sociolinguistic analysis. That is not at all the same thing, and anyone who doesn't understand this point should not be contributing to the article. andy (talk) 00:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You seem to keep changing your position. In any event, "mediocrity of writing" has never been a criterion for deletion. If it was, wikipedia's 3 million or so articles would be decimated. Nagging is clearly a social psychology issue, and anyone who doesn't understand this point should not to be contributing to the AfD. Malleus Fatuorum 00:40, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The recent removal of references by Andy was completely against policy and had nothing to do with the expressed policy of WP:ELREG stated in the edit summary, which only applies to external links and not to references used in an article. Thus, Malleus Fatuorum was completely correct in reverting him. I believe Andy should take a look at WP:PAYWALL and please not try and remove references/information from the article again.

Delete No article should exist until either the bidding process starts or at least a country formally announces its bidding.--Echetus Xe 22:47, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While speculation has worked its way into the article regarding prospective bidders (with the exception of Colombia, which is sourced), there is enough information to know that countries from Asia and Europe may not bid under current FIFA rules. As the bidding process draws closer and closer, more countries will consider making a bid, and the article will grow. There is already sourced talk about it (see the section on Colombia). It's merely a stub for now, but this article will definitely grow as time goes by.Bethereds (talk) 02:45, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete But not per WP:CRYSTAL as I don't see where this article fails under that policy. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is allowed to include reports on verifiable speculation. Instead, I'd like to see this go under WP:NOT#NEWS. This article is based only on "routine news reporting" - that is, interviews, press conference comments and blogs. When formal bids are announced or the nature of the bidding process is announced, this article will overcome this limitation. Given the nature of the article, redirecting to FIFA World Cup would seem appropriate. Pretty Green (talk) 09:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No bidding process has opened so who is to say the 2026 World Cup will even take place? This is simply crystal balling and pandering to news reports not factual knowledge. Brad78 (talk) 00:12, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph of the article is 100% factual knowledge. The second part is documentation of countries which might put forth a bid. I can understand that some people want to remove the article because no one has yet declared an intention to bid. This will change. Even so, I think that we have enough knowledge to know which continents the bids may be limited to (unless there is a rule change), and various soccer officials have suggested possible bid candidates.Bethereds (talk) 02:02, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Statement from football associations leader and authority should be reliable enough to back up the speculation, but a statement from a non-national team coach and a national team coach who probably wouldn't be coaching that team in 2026 should not be included in this article. Also Australia's and United States' bids need references. The existence of this unreferenced and unreliable speculations didn't help your argument to keep the article. — MT (talk) 04:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article is pure speculation. Recreate when a country actually makes a bid for the tournament. J Mo 101 (talk) 13:12, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To all citing WP:CRYSTAL

Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented.

World cups are notable. As long as there is no Apocalypse between now and 2026, the 2026 World Cup will almost certainly take place. Speculation is pretty well documented... see the sources in the article! Bethereds (talk) 03:08, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, bids for the 2026 World Cup will almost certainly take place, but the article as it stands is just saying that certain countries are thinking about it. This a load of speculation about who might bid, made up from articles to fill sports pages rather than anything solid. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 09:05, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Crystal specifically allows for articles which contain well documented speculation. However, WP:NOTNEWS states that routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. All that this article currently contains is speculation from routine news reporting. If, and when, either a. a formal intention to bid is announced or b. the bidding dates and process is announced, then article would be appropriate. At the moment, none of the examples included fit into this category - the closest is Columbia where the claim 'Colombian President Alvaro Uribe said his country would bid to host in 2026' appears to be supported by the statement "This nation ... aspires to be the future seat of the Panamerican (Games), the seat of the Youth Olympics, the seat of the world championship of football". Aspiring to bid is not the same as announcing an intention to bid. Absolutely none of this content is anything more than routine news reporting. --Pretty Green (talk) 10:13, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If deleted

Can the information within the article be merged into the FIFA World Cup article?Bethereds (talk) 03:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be against that. There's no need for it in the article. Quite frankly all that would be needed is a comment saying "The next unallocated FIFA World Cup will be in 2026. The process for selecting a host has not yet been announced". There certainly isn't scope for adding Sam Allerdyce or Tony Wanker's musings into a featured article. --Pretty Green (talk) 10:06, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Leakspin

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Recentism. An article about an organization that isn't. Only self-published sources used. Damiens.rf 15:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep and Don't Merge. Operation: Leakspin's goal is to reinforce and protect and to bring more interest to the articles that Julian Assange has leaked on Wikileaks. Operation: Leakspin has been on the news countless times. Every Operation must be strictly embossed onto Wikipedia, never to be withdrawn (unlike most other companies). Operation: Leakspin isn't supposed to make an immediate impact. It's purpose is to preserve the articles for the world to see. It is a major phase in Anonymous's support for Wikileaks. Even now, there are hundreds of videos uploaded to YouTube of people reading summaries of Wikileaks documents, as a PART of this Operation. There has been an impact, it's just not meant to make large news. Operation: Leakspin is a small phase, yes, but it is still largely significant to this conflict between Wikileaks/Anonymous and the government(s)/companies. Do not delete this page, ever.

Delete: no indication of notability. --Neo139 (talk) 16:16, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

no deletion - information is relevant since it's closely related to the wikileaks-thingie, It's not an organisation (doesn't claim to be) but an initiative. Since the name leakspin is in the news it's usefull to have info on what it is, what its aims are.

off topic: it seems like everything vaguely related to wikileaks-matter is being stamped out nowadays. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.250.163.148 (talk) 19:07, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question – What has Operation Leakspin accomplished so far? Operation Payback DDoS'd an unprecedented amount of websites. Significance is generally determined by the degree of impact or influence. Has Leakspin made an impact yet?

Leakspin hasn't DDoSed anyone, or had large protests, but they have helped spread wikileaks articles all over the internet, and are continuing to do so, they're the first example of peaceful hactivisim, which i believe is very not able Also, they have given birth to the idea of "crowd Journalism" (an idea worthy of it's own article) and their impact has drastically changed wikileaks format, from cables, to an easier to acess, simpler format closer to that of wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.210.90.226 (talk) 16:32, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Although this is likely the result of the hype surrounding WikiLeak, there is enough reliable news sources to warrant an article.

Strong Keep and Don't Merge. It is about a totally voluntary movement of rebeljournalism, that was actually Wikileaks original intent, which for some reason didn't happen. But now as Wikileaks is being seen as being attacked on all fronts, people have started to actually do what Wikileaks was meant to do in the first place, as envisaged by its founder(s). With absolutely no influence from Wikileaks but just from Anonymous, it seems. This situation in itself is an interesting enough phenomenon to argue as a case for keeping it. It is just fascinating to see that the future(Crowdjournalism&Wikileaks) that someone somewhere envisage/calculated, has in effect become reality(RebelJournalism&Wikileaks-LeakSpin). But the events that led to it were quite different from expected/calculated. As long as Wikileaks was functionable, people were satisfied to just appreciate it and say 'Bravo'. But once it found itself in a soup(unfairly), people from near and far have risen to the occasion. Fascinating enough to warrant mention somewhere.So its reference is need. In addition, it has already been useful to me, when I came to check it out over here. Since it was useful, its necessity has already been proven. Why remove it?

Don't Merge - It has no similarities to Operation Payback. This originated as a long-term alternative to it. This is a totally non-violent form of not only showing support, but basically people forming a Reporter's Club and quite passionately involving themselves in it. Only those involved can properly document it, but I don't think this is in anyway similar to Payback. aruna (talk) 07:52, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete in current form, use strict standards in assessing notability (i.e. still delete unless documentation meets fairly high standards) if more sourcing is found.

Oh, and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS aside - the academy awards example cited by Errant is interesting but, in my view, not a fair comparison.

Woking doesn't have the tallest buildings in Surrey. Export house, the tallest, is at best the seventh tallest building in Surrey at present and will soon be a lot lower. The Tolworth tower near Kingston is 80 meters and Croydon alone already has five that are taller, one more under construction, three more approved and another proposed. Even ignoring the approved and proposed, that will make Export house the 9th tallest building just in Surrey (and I've not even looked elsewhere than Croydon and Tolworth, so it could be even lower). Never mind the rest of the buildings in this list which aren't even that tall. This whole obsession with Woking as a skyscrper metropolis is just nonsense.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 08:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't see how this is at all notable. Woking is a minor provincial town. By this I mean no disrespect, I live there and like it, but it's a relatively small town. Equally, none of the buildings themselves are particularly tall or notable, and certainly not notable for being tall. So this just ends up as a short random list of miscellanious information. I initially put a prod on, which was removed without explanation or discussion, hence the AfD.

I added in the list of buildings category to the article so as to give some context here. There are other pages which are 'list of tallest buildings in XXX', but they are all for major world capitals or whole countries, not for towns--ThePaintedOne (talk) 13:39, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that Export house is the tallest building in Woking is included in the page List of tallest buildings by United Kingdom settlement, which I think covers the only vaguely notable fact here adequately, and removes the needs for a distinct page.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 14:34, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actualy, I just realised that it was added to that page today by the same editor who created this article and the Export house article.

Keep Hi,

As somebody who is on Wikipedia a lot trying to extend the site to help people with, for example, Homework/Project's I am very passionate about adding pages. I do NOT think this page should be deleted as somebody may be doing a project, or something like that, on the history and environment of Woking. As a Wikipedia user I know there is already a page on the History of Woking. It does not refer to the building and structures of Woking much.

I should think you understand that it is a new page that dosen't have lot's of infomation on it. We will be adding infomation to it for people's reference. I also think it SHOULDN'T be deleted because there are other small pages, smaller than my/our, I'm doing it with somebody else, Wikipedia page. Some of them are less significant than our's aswell. I hope you take this into consideration.

On this link shows the population of WokingWoking's population according to Woking's council — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willrocks10 (talk • contribs)

Firstly, that debate is actually taking place on an unrelated page and is not really relevent to this AfD. However, the page you link to specifically states that is the population number for all of Woking Borough, and the page you keep putting the number into is specifically for Woking town. The Borough has a seperate page, which already has the quoted population listed.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 12:34, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Page Woking refers to the whole of WOKING!!!!!

From the first line of the article "Woking is a large town and civil parish that shares its name with the surrounding local government district". The borough population, which is what you are quoting, is already present on the page Woking (borough) --ThePaintedOne (talk) 16:21, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again,

I see about your note on Woking's population, I did NOT do that. It was one of my friend's who is also on Wikipedia. He is a amatuer. I did say to him Woking has ROUGHLY 65k people. I'm sorry for any inconvinience. I will change that soon. The U.K. settlement's page bit on Woking's Export House was also done by my friend, again I'm sorry. I DO understand what you mean. On the OTHERHAND I don't understand you about it being a completely random page. It is(Export House) pretty much, if not the, tallest building around the area-Guilford for example. It is also, in a way, Woking's landmark. This I THINK is another VALID REASON.

Comment As it stands, the article will have to go - however I think that the basic information should definitely be put in the main Woking article somewhere, as it is very interesting information. I live near to Woking, and I have always wondered how tall each of the buildings are, so it would be good to keep the information somewhere. It could do with sources of course, but presumably the author has the soure of the information somehwere. Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 17:18, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am sorry to say this to you Arriva436 but all you care about is buses so this article should not bother you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willrocks10 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks very much for that wonderfully friendly and nice comment. Where do you get the generalisation that "all you care about is buses". I live in Surrey so take interest in the related articles, and so this article is of interest to me. I am perfectly allowed to comment on an AfD for any article on Wikipedia, even on an article about some animal in Australia for example. Anyway, I have a number of interest, not just buses. Just because transport interests me doesn't mean I do not find anything else interesting. I merely commented that I would like to see the content of the article kept, and moved elsewhere. I thought that was a reasonable thing to say to be honest, as there is no way that an article on just tall buildings in Woking is notable. Your attempts to decive, by creating mulipule accounts, does nothing to help the matter. There is not even one source to show that is an important topic for an article. Arriva436^{talk/contribs} 16:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am terribly sorry Arriva436. The comment my 'friend' put is out of order. I can see that you don't care just about Buses. I'm sorry. If you look on 'our' page we are making changes.

The problem is that you're missing the point. The article is not being considered for deletion for being too short, or for needing more details or pictures, the problem is that the subject itself is not notable, or least you have not demonstrated this with references. Personally I don't think you'll be able to find any, but that's what you need to do to keep the article.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 22:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Of course articles about non-notable topics do harm as any form of spam. --Elekhh (talk) 02:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It does no harm, but it's not notable. Woking is a relatively small town and none of these buildings are at all unusual or even particularly tall. By it's very nature the page can't be more than a very short list of four buildings, two of which haven't even been built yet. If we have an article for this we'll end up with similar pages for hundreds of other small towns around the world that have a vaguely tall building. I think the singular fact that Export House is the tallest building in Woking (not Surrey, it's not even in the top five. There are five taller buildings in Croydon alone, plus the Tolworth tower near Kingston is taller as well) is probably worth having on the Woking page, but it really doesn't need a whole page devoted to this.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 08:28, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'll have to speak to my friend first BUT we COULD do a list of tallest buildings in Surrey-That might be a possibility!? Still, Export House is the 6th tallest building in Surrey-That's got to be notable for something, Hasn't it!?

Thanks, pbl1998

P.S. Please post your views on this idea! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbl1998 (talk • contribs) 08:47, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That would certainly be more notable, but I'm not sure it's needed as there are already articles on the tallest structures in the UK, and the tallest in Croydon (which is where most of them will be). there are various architecture groups on wikipedia, and I imagine they have existing thoughts on how to approach this issue, so the best place to float the idea would be there. To be honest though, as new editors I think you are over-reaching with your desire to create lots of new pages. Without wishing to be rude, it's fairly clear that neither of you are all that familiar with how Wikipedia is setup and works, especially with regards refs and notabillity. I think the best thing to do would be to work at improving existing articles for a while. For example, when you added Export House to the Woking page, that was a reasonable and constructive edit (but it needs a cite). If you spend some time doing improvements like that, I think you'll find it a lot easier to learn the ins and outs of how wikipedia operates, before taking on creating new articles. Also, most existing articles have 'resident' editors who watch over them (as I am for Woking, which is how I came upon this in the first place) who will usually help you out with the edits you are making. Whereas new articles have a tendancy to fall into AfD pretty quickly, especially for newcomers who haven't got to grips with notabillity, which is an altogether less friendly place to be. You are of course free to edit as you want within the rules, and being bold is a virtue here, I just think you'll have a more positive and constructive experience working with other editors rather than in striking out on your own.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 09:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC) (By the way, when you make a comment press the signature button at the top of the edit window, it looks like a pen writting.

You clearly don't as you consistently miss the point of notabillity, citations, didn't know how to do inline cites, until recently never signed you posts, your friend keeps making disruptive posts which are essentially vandalism and you don't listen to consensus or advice. None of this is how wikipedia works. I've tried to help, I've actually put some effort in to improving your other articles which are of marginal notabillity but not as bad as this one, and provided constructive advice on how you could proceed. Never mind, we'll see how the AfD pans out.

You could have a very harmless article on the Highest Buildings in Downby-in-the-Swamp (currently the highest is Mrs Fenton-Soghi's house ever since the church spire fell down and demolished the then second highest as well).

No Change, it's good to see that you are trying to improve the article, but I don't think these particular additions help. None fall within the scope of the article you've created (list of tallest buildings), so the article is now wandering into a general list of notable things in the Woking area. You could rename the article to something along those lines, but it's going to end up being very vague and duplicating other pages.

Keep There is no policy or guideline requiring a claim that this transit system is more notable than other transit systems. I have repaired one link so that only one is now broken. These links, particularly this one, support the claim of notability and provide suitable reference for discussing future developments, as required and allowed by WP:CRYSTAL. However, the close similarity in wording between parts of the article and here is concerning. In-line citation should be introduced and some re-writing undertaken. However, the copied material is largely in the form of lists of places so the concern is less than for creatively written text. None of these matters justify article deletion.

The old URL for the DAWN piece still works and it wasn't really necessary to change. (I have my suspicions that the old URL is less liable to break in the future than the replacement.) In fact, out of the 7 external hyperlinks in the article, only 1 is in fact a dead hyperlink.

Delete From WP:CORP, "The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." If my understanting of the sources in the article is correct (I'm not familiar with the area) then the article is lacking here.

Delete He has a valid point based on lack of solid sources or indeed that she has done anything notable like model at a global catwalk show or appeared on a notable magazine cover. I started the article on the basis that we didn't have any articles on Guatemalan models. This one's a beauty! There must surely be a single notable model from Guatemala... I think I was under the impression that a listing in the fashion directory site inferred some sort of notability but actually in looking at it again she has no magazine covers listings or anything so is probably not meeting whatever our requirements are for models. Maybe not. I know nothing about fashion but I was sure modelling for Next is something....

Jehochman ^Talk 11:43, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep per Jehochman. Uncle G has demonstrated notability. Its marginal, but this article, as Jehochman notes, lacks any complicating factors that may make me lean towards delete. There's no coatracking, its not a spam magnet, and its not got any BLP problems. Thus the weak keep. --Jayron32 13:41, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom of Kashi is about the historic kingdom of Kashi, the present city of Varanasi, while Kasi Kingdom of Ancient India, is one that finds mention in ancient Hindu texts, as the intro and the subsequent texts mention of both clarify and are thus distinct. Needs disambig note on top that's all! Ekabhishek^talk 08:27, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge -- An article consisting solely of quotations from Hindu epics is non-encyclopaedic; they should perhasp be in Wikisource. I do not know Hindi or Sanscrit, but strongly suspect that the differnece between the two names is a matter of transliteration. Accordingly, both should be in the same article, with a short narrative of what the epics say of the mythical ancient kingdom, followed by a further section on the historic one.

Merge to Kingdom of Kashi. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 04:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but the problems are huge. Here are some concepts here:
- As user:Ekabhishek says, Kasi Kingdom is being used to refer to a legendary city found in ancient texts. The dates of this kingdom are near the time or Rama and long before, so around 7300 BCE by Hindu thought.
- The Kingdom of Kashi refers to the same geographical location during the rule of some people less closely affiliated with ancient texts. This was around 1100-1800 CE, so thousands of years later.
- Varanasi is the current international name of the city at this location, although local people call it Benares and most Indians elsewhere call it Kashi.
- Kashi is also the present day name of a specific district in Varanasi.

This Afd is for Kasi Kingdom, and the article is poorly sourced and lists a lot of mentions in sacred texts. As user:Peterkingiron says, the article needs huge reform, but there does exist a huge body of primarily religious texts describing these places and literally centuries of commentary about this place. In addition, there is an advent of modern-day scholarship about what Kasi Kingdom is supposed to mean to modern-day Hindus.

Keep - Look, policy supports a delete - there is no significant discussion in reliable independent sources, at least as far as I can see - but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we should keep this regardless. There is obviously a very high level of discussion about ANY Transformers topic in sources that aren't technically reliable - blogs, wikis, et cetera - but are generally reliable as to their fandom, and Transformers articles in general on Wikipedia are actively scrutinised and maintained by an enthusiastic corps of editors. I don't think there's value to the project in trying to smack these individual character articles down faster than they spring up, especially given that the majority eventually get recreated with sources. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:45, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -

How is the closing admin gonna even care about your vote if you admit it's against policy?
Why is "it's gonna get recreated with sources anyways" a rationale? It's not like we the people who vote "delete" are against recreating/restoring the article if there are better sources. NotARealWord (talk) 13:44, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because theoretically policy is descriptive, not prescriptive; i.e., it describes current practice at AfD rather than legislates it. Also because ignore all rules is policy, and because the purpose of ALL of our rules is to create the highest quality encyclopaedia we can, and I believe keeping the article pursues that goal better than deleting it. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the article can be good, No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. This isn't even a very important character. Plus, i don't really agree that the "corps of enthusiastic editors" are/have been doing a good job. TF articles have been criticized for being generally terrible. See here and here. Also, this is a bunch of issues with TF articles I generally find. Some of those problems are terribly obvious. So yeah, I don't find your !vote a very good one.

Daran Norris

Minimal notability. All voice acting credits are one-or-two-shot characters or "additional voices" (except a primary character on T.U.F.F. Puppy). Only live action roles are one-shot characters. Only source in article is IMDb. Search on Gnews turned up only links to TV.com or articles that said "Character X, voiced by Daran Norris..." and nothing else about him. This article has been around for six years without a single secondary source, and was tagged for notability and sources since February 2009. He utterly fails WP:GNG as there are no secondary sources that say anything significant about him.

Keep Never a good idea to send to AFD simply due to WP:NOEFFORT or to force WP:CLEANUP by others. Nominator made an unfortunate mis-statement when saying "all voice acting credits are one-or-two-shot characters or additional voices". This is patently incorrect, and this individual meets WP:ENT through easily verifiable [11][12] and quite lengthy career[13] with numerous significant roles roles in multiple notable productions stretching from at least 1977 through 2010. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently this fellow never turns down a job. Among his several hundred television, film, and video game projects, I note his being a major character in 44 episodes of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, recurring in 17 episodes of Veronica Mars, and voicing characters in 18 episodes of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, 22 episodes of Codename: Kids Next Door, and major characters in 50 episodes of The Fairly Odd Parents and the several The Fairly Odd Parents movies, and 71 episodes of The Replacements. The nominator may have simply missed them when he thought to only mention T.U.F.F. Puppy and called these others "one-shot". Meeting ENT is easily verifiable. Time now to further expand and source. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:26, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed you found differnt names for this actor, but where did you find the names? Since you added all of them to his article, shouldn't they be sourced? —Mike Allen 23:01, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are listed in the various sites being used to WP:V his career, and as I found each, I added it to the infobox per instruction at Template:Infobox person#Parameters. It is always strange when an actor chooses to use so many pseudonyms... but it happens... and having them there and here could certainly aid in searches. However, if it is found that any particular one does not eventually lead back in some way to he and his work in voice-over, it might certainly be removed.

Keep per Schmidt. This person has multiple roles in things, and if you source the credits this does meet notability and passes WP:ENTERTAINER. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:48, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes, he has preformed multiple roles, but since his filmography does list the roles he played, its impossible to determine if the role were significant enough to pass WP:NACTOR without doing a lot more digging. Looking through [14], the roles listed there all appear to be of the "extra voices" variety. —Farix (t | c) 14:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - @ Farix: You're looking through the wrong end of the scope, as Wikipedia does not judge an actor by the least of his roles. Sure, in his career, and like most actors, he has had minor roles... and yes, as a versatile voice artist with a 33-year career, he has lent his skills to "other voices", as well as to significant characters. But so what? WP:ENT instructs "significant roles in notable productions", and does not instruct looking at only insignifcant roles instead. Or is it that you asserting that his significant (lead) roles in (multiple) notable productions can be ignored because he has also done minor roles? Even had he done nothing else ever (harumph), his being Gordy in 44 episodes of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, being Cliff McCormack in 17 episodes of Veronica Mars, Buddha Bob in (so far) 4 episodes of Big Time Rush, qualify him meeting guideline... and his being Dick Daring in 71 episodes of The Replacements from 2006 through 2009, and his voicing Mr. Turner, Cosmo, and Jorgen Von Strangle, for the The Fairly OddParents franchise from 2001 to present... including 50 episodes of the television series, six specials, and seven TV movies, as well as voicing these same chararacters in the related Jimmy Timmy Power Hour trilogy: The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide, and The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3: The Jerkinators, are icing on the cake of notability. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:41, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - You missed my point entirely. The article does not describe any of Daran Norris roles. All it does is list a series of films and tv series that he appears in, regardless of whether he portrays a minor or major characters. And if one checks the sources, all they see are a bunch of very minor roles. If there are any major roles, they are affectingly "buried" in the text wall. —Farix (t | c) 13:29, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ah. Understood. I have begun expanding on and sourcing some of the major characters to "unbury" them. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:18, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Has published a few books, but only real claim of notability is being a "featured speaker" on radio programs. Doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO. I suspect a conflict of interest as well given the page creator's edits. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:13, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Three of the published works are hardbacks and two of them are over 400 pages each in their fifth printings. Along with being on over 100 radio stations nationwide, being selected by Oxford University Press, something that many other parties found on wikipedia cannot lay claim to, is quite significant. Some of the material produced is certainly controversial and those most anxious to criticize and delete would probably like the material removed because of their conflicts of interest.

I am new to Wikipedia; however, I wish to "follow the rules and guidelines" when these matters are brought to my attention. It is a great source of information.

Comment Lethal Weapon 3 was a very, very popular film, the soundtrack was performed and composed by Michael Kamen, Eric Clapton, Sting, Elton John and David Sanborn, very, very, very notable artists. Is such a soundtrack article a natural PROD candidate for an uncontroversial deletion with the bogus claim "fails WP:V". Now it's at AfD. True, article has been tagged as unreferenced since October 2006, for this offense a bot could request it be deleted in order to improve Wikipedia. Because the artists are so popular though, some serios mention is likely. I quickly found two Gbooks refs and added to article. The first ref relates to Stings contribution to the title song, it's half a page commentary, the other book is only in snippet view, more can likely be found by editors more interested in this than I am. MrCleanOut (talk) 09:10, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Lethal Weapon 3. Sure there are some big names on the soundtrack, but the soundtrack itself just didn't get enough notice as a stand-alone entity apart from the movie.

Delete - There are actually plenty of sources covering his appointment to his current role (such as these) and assorted items where he's acting as a spokesman for the bank, but none of them address him in detail sufficient to write an encyclopaedic article about him, and therefore he fails WP:N for lack of "significant coverage". - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:23, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: I think that sources on the web may be limited and not abundant in case of this person. However, there may be several other sources in print media. If possible, I will try to expand the article to give it a better shape. Being the chief of one of the premier banks in India with around 3300 branches in India and abroad is certainly notable, particularly in view that there may be only a handful of banks in the world with so many branches. We should not destroy the stub in its embryonic form and should not expect that in a day or within a few hours a good article can be created. I am not comparing the person with Abraham Lincoln. But, in two months, the article on Abraham Lincoln looked like this: [15]. We should remember the advice of Angela and try to understand the way in which the project is expected to grow: let us allow the stub/s to grow. To understand the issues in a comprehensive way, please read and understand User:Angela/Stubs. While creating stubs on notable Indians, I have encountered similar difficulties when I was hardly 3-day old Wikipedian and a web source appeared after many years: [16], and during my 6th year as a Wikipedian, I encounter the same difficulty.

With due respect to the anonymous user, I would like to add that “conflict of interest” ... it is stretching the issue to a different tangent. Bank of India is an organization with around 40,000 employees like me; it is a corporate entity and not a grocery shop owned by a single person. If I try to stretch my imagination, I would argue: as a person has donated to Wikipedia Projects, she/ he has a “conflict of interest” in editing any of the Wikipedia Projects! Or, A chinese should not create or edit an article relating to China as being a citizen of China, he/she has a "conflict of interest". The point under discussion, in my opinion, is as regards the encyclopaedic significance of the article. And, everybody knows for years that I work for Bank of India, and I do not require any facade of anonymity to contribute and edit here. --Bhadani (talk) 13:38, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

University of Birmingham Debating Society

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod. Non-notable student debating society - this Google search gives only 38 hits and I can't find any reliable sources. Fails WP:N and in particular WP:CLUB. There are thousands of such societies worldwide - this one may be older and better than some of them but it doesn't require its own encyclopaedia entry. andy (talk) 00:25, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for not knowing the correct method of responding. The society does require its own encyclopaedia entry for a variety of reasons. Firstly the society is integral to the University, having been founded by the person who founded the University and because it has played an active role in Guild politics. Secondly it is a much more active society that most others with a history outlasting most others. The IV competitions it runs, the schools competitions it runs, the way its members engage with the local community and so forth means the society has a long tradition on having an impact not only on University students but also the Birmingham and international community. The unusually large impact the society has had is a very good reason for why the society deserves an encyclopaedia entry. Thirdly most of the information generated about University debating societies is by other societies and the Universities at which they are based. This means that the most common Internet reference to such a society is from other societies at the Universities - unfortunately any references to the society pre-2000 (when debating received a presence online) is all paper based. However this entry also has other sources such as the English Speaking Union an independent charity wholly seperate from any debating societies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nothingbutgreenlights (talk • contribs) 00:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Almost none of which is relevant. This is an encyclopaedia. Articles are not included or excluded on the bases of subjective notions of fame and importance (or, indeed, "impact"). It is only the question of whether the subject has been documented in depth by multiple published works, from people independent of the subject with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy. It doesn't matter that the published works are in print. But it does matter that they exist. The in depth knowledge of this subject must already have been properly documented and published outwith Wikipedia. Uncle G (talk) 01:35, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
