Unless I am missing something, of the two refs provided, the IMDB link doesn't even mention this film, and the ISBN # of the book comes up empty. The Eskimo (talk) 23:10, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The IMDB source works for me and Australian Film Institute awards must make it notable, and can be better-sourced. "Best Feature", for example, is sourced on the AFI website. Rodhull andemu 23:20, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Ideally, IMDB shouldn't be used as a source, but it is easily replaceable with this source for the award. This article asserts the film was "the first commercial success of the Australian film revival". Other sources include [1][2](a brief article from a branch of the Australian government on the significance to that country's heritage!)[3][4][5]. Redfarmer (talk) 23:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and the book definitely exists. It's out of print, but found a used copy on Amazon.[6] Redfarmer (talk) 23:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. What does "ISBN # of the book comes up empty" mean? Does the nom. know how this works? And how "the IMDB link doesn't even mention this film" if it is linked straight to the film's IMDB page. The article is sourced to show that the subject is notable and as such should be kept. feydey (talk) 23:54, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: As nom I withdraw the nomination for deletion. The added sources are good, as are the points made above. Still I opposed to IMDB being the only source in film articles, but the newly added refs address that concern. As for the ISBN # not working, that appears to have been either my work computer not loading the page, or the site being temporarily down, b/c I can now see it fine from my home PC. If someone else would like to close this as keep you would have my support. The Eskimo (talk) 03:32, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Wikiprojects do not get to make their own guidelines independant of community norms so in any case of dispute about exactly where the inclusion bar falls the closer should rely on the community consensus which is found at Wikipedia:ATHLETE#Association_football which states inter alia Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league (as detailed here), will generally be regarded as notable. There is no dispute that the individuals do not have independant sources and are not meeting the community guideline so the close is obvious. Spartaz ^Humbug! 10:06, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all except Nuhodžić

According to WP:FOOTYN players are demed notable if:

"They have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure. This must be supported by evidence from a reliable source on a club by club basis for teams playing in leagues that are not recognised as being fully professional."

Secondly, according to the WSC article (which we used to reference the claim that the Montenegrin First League is not fully professional at WP:FPL):

"According to official data, 98 per cent of the 5,304 registered players are amateurs, but almost all are paid, many being partly funded by agents, who make big profits by selling them on abroad. But there is only one big club in the new domestic league, Budućnost Podgorica, who were regular members of the old Yugoslav first division. Their annual budget is claimed to be around €300,000. The only other full-time professional clubs are Zeta Golubovci and Sutjeska Niksic."

Thirdly, all four of these players are under contract with Budućnost Podgorica as evidenced by their website. According to UEFA.com and the club's website Dragojević appeared in 4 Europa League matches and 10 league matches for the club in the current season. Đikanović appeared in 11 MFL matches this year and 4 Europa League fixtures. Cicmil didn't appear in a single league or European match this season, but has appeared for the club in 3 league matches earlier. I can't find any data on Nuhodžić's appearances (he certainly doesn't seem to have appeared in any competition for the club this season and I can't find any data on earlier seasons), while Mugoša played in 5 league matches and spent six minutes on the pitch in one Europa League game this season. Therefore only Nuhodžić deserves to be deleted as the other four players pass the notability criteria set by WP:FOOTY. Timbouctou 23:48, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, this goes for Nikač too as he appeared in 8 league matches this season. Timbouctou 23:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all - playing for a professional club is not enough, WP:ATHLETE states that players are notable if they have played in a fully-professional league - which, as evidenced above, is not the case. Giant Snowman 01:34, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And the tag on WP:FOOTYN (contents of which I cited above) says that "it contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest. It has not been accepted as a Wikipedia policy or guideline, though it may be consulted for assistance during an AfD discussion or when considering creating a standalone article." Interestingly, it also says that "the player section of this notability guidance is currently being discussed and edited at WP:Notability (sports)"

If whatever WP:FOOTY's current criteria says isn't worth crap than why do we have that page there at all? Also, how can you delete articles based on criteria that are currently being discussed? Is this what passes for "good faith" nowadays? Timbouctou 07:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FOOTYN is merely an essay that some members of the Football WikiProject wrote; WP:NFOOTY has been reached through discussion and consensus. Giant Snowman 20:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't answer my questions and it seems you never bothered to actually read what the tag on top of WP:FOOTYN says. What is the purpose of having an essay on notability presumably endorsed by WP:FOOTY if whatever it says can be ignored in WP:FOOTY AfDs? How come some members of the project are so diligent in their efforts to delete articles, but are astonishingly passive about conflicting notability guidelines currently in existence, as evidenced by this AfD (Dragojević and Đikanović satisfy 2 out of 4 criteria listed by the essay, but none of the ones at WP:NFOOTY)? How come the nominator is so keen to delete articles using a criteria that is currently being discussed at WP:ATHLETE? And btw, what exactly makes a league "fully professional" by Wikipedia standards is beyond me. For instance, the pdf cited as "source" at WP:FPL for classifying the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina as not fully professional says that "Klubovima Premijer lige BiH, Prve lige NS/FS BiH i Prve lige FS RS mogu se ustupati igrači koji imaju profesionalni ugovor, kao i igrači amateri. (Eng: "First and second level clubs are allowed to use both professional and amateur players.") The 2006 WSC article cited for Montenegro says that "98 per cent of the 5,304 registered players are amateurs, but almost all are paid, many being partly funded by agents". So they are paid amateurs then? The Finnish Veikkausliiga has 93 percent of professionals in it, yet WP:FOOTY sees it as not fully professional citing a 2005 article which claims that "most players are part-timers" (which is factually incorrect because the same 2010 report says that back in 2005 64 percent of all players were pros). On the other hand, the Scottish Premier League sometimes features part-time players and even clubs and yet nobody bothered to list it as "not fully professional". Is it me or is there a theme emerging here? The problem with this is that the criteria at WP:NFOOTY works great for leagues where there's a clear distinction between all-professional and all-amateur leagues, but is obviously insufficient for smaller leagues which often use a mix of both. Not only is this unfair to begin with, it becomes downright insulting when - having absolutely no clue what's the proportion of professionals and amateurs in these semi-pro leagues - members of WP:FOOTY are so quick to label a country's top division as non-notable or at least less notable than England's FOURTH division. So we get a situation in which Anorthosis Famagusta FC is good enough to play in the group stage of the top continental competition, but a player who spent his career there is less notable than somebody who plies his trade at Oxford United F.C.. And how come certain WP:FOOTY editors are so keen to delete allegedly non-notable players claming that they blindly follow policies - while at the same time they are not nearly as keen to resolve blatantly obvious issues with the said policies? In Montenegro's case, most players are de facto professionals but are not legally registered as such to avoid having to pay percentages of transfer fees to their clubs. The Montenegrin Professional Players' Union was founded about a year ago specifically to tackle this problem and reduce the influence of players' agents on the game there. And even if we take the data from WSC's 2006 article as relevant, two percent of 5,304 players means that there are 106 fully licensed professionals in the country, which is nearly half of all the players appearing in the 12-team top division (and one can safely assume that the number of professionals has increased since the article's publication four years ago). I don't particularly follow Montenegrin football and I don't think the world would come to an end if these six players get deleted from Wikipedia, but that's exactly the reason why I'm so astonished by editors who seem to have ran out of better things to do around here and are deleting stuff wholesale while being oblivious to the questionable quality of the very guidelines they claim they are upholding. Sir Sputnik already tried a wholesale deletion of Finnish players, now it's Montenegrins. I assume Bosnians are there somewhere on his hitlist, even though the top league is classified as non-professional by Wikipedia just because an undetermined number of players at an undetermined number of clubs may or may not be playing top level football without professional contracts. Unless you can provide something more reliable than a four year old magazine article to prove that the Montenegrin First League is not fully professional, I don't see a reason to delete these articles. Timbouctou 00:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FOOTYN is an essay, nothing more than personal opinion, and not an established guideline like WP:NFOOTY - therefore it is not revelant to AfD debates. The page itself states that it has "not been accepted as a Wikipedia policy or guideline." I don't know why it claims to be useful for such discussions, as it clearly isn't - I mean, I could write an essay stating "everyone is notable if they wear glasses", but that wouldn't make it real, would it? Also, a source states that the Montenegrin league is not fully-professional; it is up to you to provide another source which states it is - this is called verifiability and is an important Wikipedia policy. Giant Snowman 00:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While there is truth just about everything you (Timbouctou) have just said, much of it is of little direct relevance to this afd and should be addressed in more appropriate forums (talk pages for WP:FOOTY, and WP:FPL would be my suggestion). It also does not change the fact that all of these players still fail the paramount criterium for notability: Significant coverage in reliable sources. Unless this criterium is met, I cannot see who the inclusion of these articles can be justified. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:00, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all except Dragojević and Đikanović - Games in European competition are considered sufficient if both teams are fully professional. The rest fail all the relevant guidelines. J Mo 101 (talk) 13:22, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pro tem. "She is most known for her starring role in Hobo With a Shotgun where she plays "Abby" along side Rutger Hauer". If/when this film comes out, yes she will probably fit the standards. If she's best known for something not yet finished, let alone released, she fairly obviously doesn't. The film is referenced - none of her other stuff is, and it doesn't look of great note. This is not belittling Molly - she's young and at the start of a career. Many of the greats started in parts they'd not have wanted to remember - or rather other people to remember. Time for the article is when the press outside the town where filming took place take note and start discussing it. I'll expect the article to come back then, and given good sources per WP:RS, we'll welcome it. (Please don't suggest keeping it until then - see WP:CRYSTAL as anything might happen. If references are produced to show her previous parts were indeed notable, that's a different kettle of fish.) Peridon (talk) 20:28, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

``chrisjames14`` She "will" be most well known for Hobo With a Shotgun, globally, when it comes out, yes. Currently she is already well known in Atlantic Canada, specifically, as one of the strongest young female actors, and certainly the most well known. I'm not sure how many people in any given area, need to think she is notable, to be "notable enough" for Wikipedia's standards. In Atlantic Canada, she is certainly notable enough - is Atlantic Canada too small of an area? If it is required that she is known in a larger area; nationally (Canada), or internationally (Canada&USA), then yes, I agree that this article only be put up "after" Hobo With a Shotgun is released. If Atlantic Canada IS a large enough area for one to be notable and famous in, than I still disagree with the proposed deletion of this page, and suggest that it be kept.

She is notable is Atlantic Canada for a number of reasons - reasons that could be discussed and written about on her wiki page, however there currently aren't enough already published web sources to provide references for these facts. That is why all that is currently on her wiki page, is surrounding her work in Hobo With a Shotgun - not because this is all she is "known" for in Atlantic Canada, but because this is all that other media have actually written about. ``chrisjames14`` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisjames14 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've emboldened Chris's !vote above, and would recommend signing posts with four ~ things. Chris, have a look at those policies. It's not numbers of people - it's coverage to a large extent. If you can show that Molly - not just the film but her herself in person - has been covered by the press on a more than local basis, then please add refs and tell us. We're not anti-Molly. Schmidt above is notorious for spoiling people's fun at AfD by wading in and rescuing sinking articles. If he says 'too soon', you can bet he's been searching. You might have something up your sleeve - if you do (and it's not just your arm...) let us know. "there currently aren't enough already published web sources to provide references for these facts." - doesn't have to be web (although that's easier to check). Newspapers and magazines (bit too soon perhaps for books) also count. Otherwise, we'll welcome her when they are available (and you might find the article already there).

Number cruncher

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

Contested WP:PROD. Prod reasoning was that Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang or jargon. As another user noted on the talk page, this is a term not a topic. Article has been edited since then but still lacks even a single source. While sources can be found that use this term, it is doubtful there are sources that actually discuss the term itself. Wiktionary has an entry on this already, and since this is unsourced transwiki is not a good option anyway. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Yes it's an unviable dicdef, but what to do with it? The two primary Wiktionary entries appear to be wikt:number-crunching and wikt:number cruncher, but they only have 1 definition each. Could some of the material here be transferred? Should we WP:Soft redirect from here to there? -- Quiddity (talk) 19:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, as this material is not verified by sources so transwiki is not a good option. We shouldn't dump our garbage in the neighbor's yard. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Make a soft direct. (As said above). Endofskull (talk) 22:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Improve or Delete without prejudice against subsequent recreation. This is undoubtedly a crap article - it's just awful. I have no problem with removing it on grounds of being crap. However, I strongly believe that this is a perfectly good title/subject for an article - and Wikipedia definitely needs a decent article with this title. So if we do remove it, I want to be quite certain that we do not use that as a precedent for removing some future article of the same name. This is not (as some have asserted) a WP:NOTDICT issue.

The phrases "Number cruncher" and "Number crunching" are technical terms that are widely used in the computer industry and which have been around in common an frequent use over at least three decades. It is argued that the term is 'slang' or 'jargon' - but that's true of so many words and phrases used in this young industry that we can't just say "NO JARGON!" - if we did that then we'd have to delete byte, nibble, floppy disk, netbook and hundreds of other articles that take their title from a jargon word for some object or concept that has become mainstream. Nobody calls a "floppy disk" a "flexible media diskette" - they use the jargon word because it's easier. A number cruncher is a class of computer that's optimized for large-scale arithmetic processing - and we have no other word that describes such machines ("Supercomputer" comes close - but not all supercomputers are number crunchers...and vice-versa). We should have an article that describes notable number crunchers - what makes a number cruncher special - what attributes it needs. "Number cruncher" should be considered as a phrase of comparable significance to "Web server", "Netbook" or "Laptop" - who's articles are never likely to be nominated here.

Similarly, the phrase "Number crunching" describes what a computer program is doing when it's doing a lot of purely arithmetic work ("Steve, why has your program stopped running?" "It hasn't stopped, it's just doing a lot of number crunching.") The phrase is comparable to words like "sorting", "rendering" or "parsing" - which have articles about their root words. Once again, there is no other word or convenient phrase that precisely conveys the meaning of "number crunching" - and we could certainly write an article about the nature of this activity - why some applications are heavy number crunch processes, etc. As our article points out, the term is also used outside of the computing industry (as in "Let's go crunch the numbers before we present it to the CEO") - and in that case, it probably should be considered slang. But the phrase has a precise meaning in computer science and it's a part of the mainstream vocabulary of that industry. SteveBaker (talk) 02:37, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Floppy disk has 35 references cited. Netbook has 93. This article has zero. Therein lies the difference. Honestly I was only aware of this term as slang for an accountant, similar to bean counter, but if it is as widely used as you say for a specifically modified computer then sources verifying that should be available and the article can be fixed through editing it to reflect the information in the sources. I never mind being proved wrong at AFD and seeing a crappy article turned in to a good one, but some actual proof is going to be needed. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:49, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - the article sucks and should probably be removed/redirected/whatever'ed. As I !voted, I'm not averse to removing it on grounds of general crappitude - so long as it is not done on WP:NOTDICT grounds which would mitigate against future recreation of a much better article. SteveBaker (talk) 13:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comparisons to byte and the like fall flat because those are literally jargon and incomprehensible to outsiders. "Number cruncher" is trivially worked out through its axioms, and is used in so many different contexts that it does little more than connote heavy calculation work. Figures of speech which are not examined in detail by multiple independent reliable sources don't need their own articles. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 06:20, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Imagine an article that described specific computers that were designed to be good number crunchers and listed the properties they collectively have. Such an article (which I wish we had) would be as appropriate as (say) netbook or web server. The present article isn't that - and should probably 'go away' - but that doesn't mean that a perfectly reasonable article on this topic couldn't be written in the future. SteveBaker (talk) 13:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. "Number cruncher" is a fairly genericised label applied to a disparate collection of things to carry a general connotation. "Web server" and "netbook" are specific categories of actual products, and indeed are the primary names for their respective subjects. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 15:03, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - We already have an article on the class of computers used for number crunching. It's called a supercomputer. However, the appellation of "number cruncher" to this class of machine is unsubstantiated. -- Whpq (talk) 15:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki has been requested: I'd be happy with replacing the current page with a {{wi}} once that's done. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 15:03, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I still think that is probably not appropriate. I'm not real familiar the the policies over there but I assume they require some form of verification, which this article is entirely lacking having never had a single source. I don't object to deleting the article and immediately recreating it as a soft redirect, but I don't think we should look at Wikitionary as a dumping ground for unsourced material. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:13, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jasri language

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

Possible hoax. A simple search for "jasri" and "lakshadweep" (the place this language is apparently spoken) results in eight Ghits, and of those, the only hit with slight merit is this, but it's a travel blog that mentions it in the comment section (where it is described as a "cocktail language", whatever that is). A subsequent search for "jasri" and "creole" results in slightly more hits but they never use both words in the same context. Erpert (let's talk about it) 18:36, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - after searching several times for sources, very little has turned up to even substantiate that this may be the local name for a dialect. It seems doubtful that this is a distinct language.

Keep but move to Jeseri language as that appears to be the most common form. It is generally difficult to find online sources (beyond directory listings) for these ultra small languages as the books generally tend to be obscure. It's also known as "Dweep Bhasha" and happens to be one of the two/three principal languages of Lakshadweep depending on the source.

2010 Shanghai fire

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

I fail to see how this is a notable event in any sense of the word. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news archive, and this is purely news. The fact that it has had international coverage is great and all, but in the end, it is simply not encyclopedic material. In a few months this is not going to be remembered at all, and thus it has no enduring notability at all. This was just yet another fire that for some reason caught the attention of today's media. That last half does not contribute anything to notability (and our policies only mention that it might indicate notability, not that it does). Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 18:19, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, Are there any specific policies on the notability of disasters? I'm fairly certain that it's pretty common practice to keep articles on catastrophes of this scale. That's 50+ deaths in on incident. Anyway, there's tones of articles of accidents of a similar nature, see CATEGORY:2010 fires for just a few. In that light, not only do I vote Keep, but I propose that this AfD be dropped as per WP:SNOW.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:28, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disasters? It's a fire. I looked at the category; surely you can agree with me when I argue that there's a little bit of a difference between a power plant explosion or a church burning and an apartment fire. One of them happens every day, one of them does not. What the media happens to decide is relevant is not only something a coin flip might be able to tell you, but also something that should not impact what Wikipedia is. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 18:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. See Category:2010 fires. eg. 2010 Connecticut power plant explosion: 5 dead, 27 injured; 2010 Shanghai fire: at least 53 dead, at least 100 injured so far. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 18:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I simply cannot advocate any argument for keep based on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. In fact, I am fully aware of the fact that this is a much bigger issue than this one article (at least in my mind), but I can't come here with 200 pages to delete. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 18:55, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"In a few months this is not going to be remembered at all" seems to meet WP:BIAS and WP:CRYSTAL. Try to search "上海大火" -wikipedia. You're not sure whether Chinese and Hongkongese media will remember it. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 19:22, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS#Deletion of articles, my "OTHERSTUFFEXISTS" may be valid because it can be demonstrated in the same way as I might demonstrate justification for the article's creation. It'd be WP:BIAS and not fair if deleted. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 21:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's just as much crystal-balling to say that "In a few months this is not going to be remembered at all" as it is to say that it will be remembered. I'd argue for the latter, however, based on the observation that skyscraper fires get written about more than most fires, in large part because of the difficulty in fighting them and in rescuing people from them. [23]. The lessons learned over the years from this type of fire have been part of the evolution of fire prevention and firefighting. Mandsford 19:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no specific WP guidelines on what constitutes a "disaster" in the encyclopedic sense, such as a minimum death toll, the article should remain along with the many other similar articles on incidents of relatively minor note.--Tbmurray (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Strong keep. Fires and other incidents involving public buildings in China resulting in more than 50 deaths are quite uncommon, and do not occur every year, yet an image for this article would be helpful. For example, though not a fire, the collapse of a building in Shijiazhuang last year claimed 17 lives. The fire in Shanghai occurred in a very high-population density residential metropolitan area in China's largest city, comparable to the Beijing Television Cultural Center fire last year which killed one person yet has quite an extensive article. ~AH 1^(TCU) 01:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. It is very rare that a fire results in this much damage and so many deaths; it is also prompting Chinese authorities to implement stricter fire safety regulations. This is a significant event, much more than NOTNEWS-level, and has received enough coverage to justify an article. It is not fair to say this fire will be forgotten in a few months because, well, it has not yet been a few months. /ƒETCH COMMS / 03:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If someone were, as part of their reasoning for keep, to say that every other main character in Star Wars has an article, this may well be a valid point."

1- Dear Mr/Mrs. Whpq, I have the permission to add that contents to Wikipedia, and They are not copyrighted material without permission.I can provide Wikipedia with all kinds of evidence from www.desphilic.com. Please do not edit pages without concern at least such a major destruction! or you will be blocked from editing.

2- Desphilic is almost the only Persian Romanization site which is still alive. It definitely deserves a separate page in Wikipedia.

3- If this census has a primary leader or judge or jurry, plz that leader be responsible to look for consultancy about the topic from an expert. The contents should not be judged without comments from an expert.

4- The contents, if compared to Chinese Romanization should be considered with the following issues taken in mind:

41- Chinese have more than 3000 alphabet letters, while Perso-Arabic has only 32 which amongst them 10 are repetitions.

42- Chinese have 1/4 of the world population, Perso-Arabic Persian users are only 70 Million.

43- Desphilic is a new and under-development standard. however currently there are 1000 results in Google.

It is obvious that you must find more results for pinyin. and of course its wiki page is larger.

5- The issues that criticizers have talked about all are about quantitative matters. none of them have had a qualitative and content based analysis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by I masoomi (talk • contribs) 10:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - [1] Copyrighted material cannot be added to Wikipedia without confirmation of permission. If you do have permission, then you need to follow the instructions for donating copyrighted material.
- [2] - Being nearly the only Persian Romanization website around is not a reason for keeping this article unless it can be shown that this fact makes the site notable through coverage in reliable sources.
- [3] - This discussion does not have a specific leader. It is a community discussion, although an uninvolved administrator will make a decision at the end based on this discussion. As for judgment from an expert, if anybody can out forth evidence from experts that Desphilic is a notable Persian romanisation, then that would be a strong argument for keeping the article.
- [4] - Pointing to the Chinese language was not to compare the details of the language, but rather show that coverage about Chinese Romanisation exists in reliable sources. A search in Google Books for pinyin or Wade-Giles shows plenty of sources that write about these systems of Romansiation.. whereas there is absolutely no results for Desphilic. -- Whpq (talk) 12:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, failed candidates for office should be deemed non-notable in terms of having their own Wikipedia article. There are exceptions...notable businessmen prior to the electoral events, former officeholders at the state level, or those who have otherwise garnered significant coverage in reliable sources, e.g. Alvin Greene, Christine O'Donnell, Stephene Moore. But this person simply ran for office and failed. Scant coverage from some local and religious sites about his early life as an outreach director for a Christian organization and a book published, some routine electoral coverage and a bizarre episode of a racial profiling claim that hit a blurb in HuffPo and the Chicago Sun-Times. As I more or less noted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jennifer Mee (2nd nomination) recently, WP:ONEEVENT + WP:ONEEVENT shouldn't be an automatic qualifier for notability.

Keep. He's not notable for the campaign, but he's a published author and therefore likely notable enough for his environmental work. According to WorldCat: "1 edition published in 2009 in English and held by 108 libraries worldwide." Note: I generally check to see if someone's book is, perhaps, held by one library which just happens to be in their hometown. ;-) The article should of course be rewritten to emphasize the latter rather than the former. If no one's interested in updating the article, then redirect to save the history of the article. I looked at Shane Claiborne because he was referenced in the article, and some of the Categories for him would apply to this guy as well. If redirecting, I would suggest redirecting to Christianity and environmentalism or something similar. Flatterworld (talk) 18:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not convinced about the redirect, simply because in most cases it doesn't seem like a good idea to redirect failed candidates to the race they lost, that would set a bad precedent. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...that would set a bad precedent

How so? — goethean ॐ 21:58, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a bad precedent here. When an article about a candidate comes up for deletion after an election, it's not because the subject went from notable to non-notable; it's because the subject was already non-notable by Wikipedia standards (biography of someone who has never won major office, etc.) and shouldn't have been created, but editors hold off on the deletion requests for a bit so that an already-existing article's work won't be lost if the election made the subject imminently notable. If the failed race has become the subject's WP:ONEEVENT, it's probably appropriate to redirect. If they are not particularly known for any specific event, then perhaps the article shouldn't be redirected, just deleted. --Closeapple (talk) 09:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree with the WP:CRYSTAL argument. Point 1 of CRYSTAL says "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." The event is notable and almost certain to take place. While I'm aware that WP:OTHERSTUFF is not a valid argument, we should at least look at general practice with regards to, say, future elections (see United States presidential election, 2012) or future sporting events (see 2016 Summer Olympics). Royal weddings may be rarer and more randomly spaced than elections and sporting events, but surely similar considerations should apply. Physchim62 (talk) 15:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The election or Olympics are more certain to take place over a wedding. What if one of them passes away, or they break up due to a possible scandal? The U.S. will not skip its election, but weddings are not for certain. /ƒETCH COMMS / 17:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and redirect to Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton, which is probably the correct title (but the sentiment of my comment is the same, in that an article should remain) - we have articles on Prince Charles' first and second weddings, which were notable events in their own right, both the weddings themselves, as well as the preparation before the day. It may be a year away, but there's no doubt that the page will be updated as details become clearer. If it's deleted now, all that will happen is that the pages about William and Kate will grow respectively to include these details anyway. Better to have a dedicated page that can act as a central focus. I bet eventually, this will be a substansive article.

Keep All the crystal-ball objections would be removed if it were simply called "Engagement of Prince William and Catherine Middleton".

Restore. The article was redirected to Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton during the AfD, which was totally out of process. It's two people who are going to marry, so we need at least two articles about the event. Besides, crucial information from Lady Ka was lost through this disruptive act. We cannot possibly decide how many articles we need for this event before it has taken place, so all these deletionist excesses are way premature.

Speedy redirect to Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton. It has already been merged. AnemoneProjectors 01:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Why? A redirect doesn't change anything for the deletion discussion, and the article title can always be changed later through WP:RM. If anything, the second article should be merged into the title listed here: (1) because the prospective groom is not generally known as Prince William of Wales, and there is no need for disambiguation; (2) because identical arguments will apply to either article. Physchim62 (talk) 01:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Because it's wrong to have two articles about the same subject and the prospective groom's article is located at Prince William of Wales, not Prince William, so Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton is the correct title. AnemoneProjectors 01:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - The prospective groom's article is located at Prince William of Wales because of a need for disambiguation. WP:COMMONNAME dictates that he be referred to as "Prince William". Physchim62 (talk) 01:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or delete - this is an obvious example of WP:CRYSTAL, an article on a presumed future event that is not yet scheduled, let alone certain to happen. A wedding can be a notable topic for an article - we have Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer and Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Camilla Parker Bowles - and if it happens, this one arguably will be just as notable as those. But for the time being, there just isn't enough content to justify an independent article, and what we have can easily be merged into the articles on Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton. Robofish (talk) 11:37, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:CRYSTAL does not bar the creation of articles about future events that are confirmed and expected through RS, and merging, especially across two different articles, is not an efficient use of resources at all. If Wikipedia doesn't have a WP:RECENTISM issue with creating an article for every single fatal aircrash that ever happens in the world, whether it proves to be historically notable or not, and even though equivelant coverage of just 30 years ago is simply non-existent on Wikipedia, then it can cope quite easily with creating a Windsor royal wedding article every 30 years. There is already more than enough detail to fill out one article, and that's just one day after the announcement. MickMacNee (talk) 14:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep That this discussion was even brought up with a motion to delete is ridiculous. This is a story whether or not the event were to transpire.

Keep including an article on this subject isn't recentism, as comparable events from thirty years ago are still notable. Nor does the article violate WP:CRYSTAL, because the event is very likely to happen (the policy doesn't say future events have to be scheduled), it would be notable if it had already occured, and even if the wedding is called off the event may still be notable.

What a ridiculous comment. You should clearly be reprimanded for wasting my time by writing that. This is a discussion and valid points have been raised by both sides.

No it is not, and I did not see the point of writing out all the points raised above, but just for you :

It is most likely going to happen in the same way as the Summer Olympic games of 2012 or the 2020 Summer Olympics. If it does not happen then there will be an large amount written about why it did not happen.

WP:CRYSTAL does not come into it because the critical part in the policy is the opening Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation since it has been announced (there are sources that IMO qualify as reliable) that the wedding is going to happen it is not unverifiable speculation. VER Tott 18:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I wholeheartedly agree that this is a notable topic and worthy of inclusion. That is, inclusion once it happens. What if they suddenly broke up?

Keep. William is most likely a future King of the UK, and his parents' wedding was such a major cultural event. A page on Harry's wedding someday would draw more skepticism from me, but since William is directly in line to the throne and a child would be another likely future monarch, I say this wedding is easily notable enough for its own article. Also, the title is fine. If, God forbid, William and Kate do separate we can delete the page then. But that is a bridge I don't see us crossing.

Comment Neutral on this one. Steve has a point. List of tallest buildings in Billings is even less notable. Seems there are no big skyscrapers in the "Big Sky State", but perhaps the information can be incorporated into one of the articles in Category:Montana-related lists. Lists of tallest buildings are a common feature in books like the World Almanac, so it's not unencyclopedic, nor is it a joke.

Crazy DenverLady

This page was nominated for deletion DenverLady. DenverLady has been vandalizing this page over and over again, I should have reported this person along time ago but I didn’t. I urge everyone to look at all this person’s contributions on all the pages they edit. DenverLady all most exclusively vandalizes pages to make Missoula Montana look like something it isn’t. I like Missoula, it’s a beautiful town but apparently DenverLady isn’t happy with Missoula and wants it to be the center of the world with the tallest buildings and many more people than it has. This person creates wiki pages that are not true at all, just to use as references. DenverLady just created a page on the largest cities in the west. Missoula isn’t on it yet bet I bet in a week or so Missoula will be listed as one of the largest cites in the western United States.

I am tired of policing this person and I agree this page has grown to large The top three buildings are the only high-rises in Montana. More got add a by DenverLady just trying list more buildings in Missoula but none of them belonged. Rather than shrink the list back down I put the buildings on that did belong.

I think I will edit the list down to those three buildings and please leave this page. And PLEASE everyone check out the contributions made by DenverLady.

I am new to this and maybe I am not doing everything right but I have just been trying to keep this page truthful if anyone wants to help me that would be great.

Comment While I concur that the article probably doesn't meet our guidelines, and probably should be merged somewhere (of possible), I find this nomination to be irretrievably flawed, and would likely have closed it on a procedural basis had I noticed it. Such is life, we now have multiple good faith editors recommending deletion - which is fine, as I agree more than disagree. Just bothered me, is all, how this went down.

Keep

I realize these buildings aren’t all that tall compared to most metropolitan areas but that is really not the point of this article. They are tall buildings in this part of the world. The First Interstate tower is the tallest building in within the five state region of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, North and South Dakota. That is a pretty large land area.

Comment

There is and entire category Category:Lists of tallest buildings in the United States that has over a hundred pages of lists just like this one. If this one were deleted wouldn’t all of all of those pages be eligible for deletion? Sara goth (talk) 21:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would support that, by WP's stated policies. WP is not supposed to be a directory, nor are articles supposed to be written about the intersection of two unrelated things. In this case the intersection of tall building and Montana was kind of quiet, but I would even question an article on the tallest buildings in Chicago or New York. "Tall building" is one topic, a location is another. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The information in this article could be merged into a paragraph in Billings, Montana. Like: "The three tallest buildings in Montana are in Billings [their names and heights]."

Like: "New York has many tall buildings..." (In New York City) and "Two of the most important cities in the history of skyscrapers are New York and Chicago." (In Skyscraper) But not "List of tallest buildings in New York City" or "List of tallest buildings in Chicago." This is about how information should be presented according to what WP policies say (as imperfectly understood by me.) It is not about what information should be given. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course "List of tallest buildings in the world" is fine, and needed...no intersection there. Steve Dufour (talk) 12:53, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could also make a list of tallest stands and dressers in my house article and call it notable because they are the tallest dressers and stands on my property which is important to me and because it's accurate to the inch and it would be, too.

Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_and_International_Cooperation_(Djibouti) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - ([[{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}|View AfD]])

We already have a Foreign relations of Djibouti page, although specific pages related to the government of Djibouti are lacking, even in the {{Politics of Djibouti}} template. This article has been an orphan/stub since it was created and tagging has not resulted in edits. It also contained a link with a virus threat. (Since removed.) The topic of the "Ministry" can be/should be discussed in the For Rel page and in a general/overall "Ministers" page.--S. Rich (talk) 16:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I haven't got the right format -- but I did follow the instructions. Re the virus, my AVG program blocked the site saying "Accessed file is infected. Threat name: Exploit Link to Exploit Site (type 1152)" message. I have sent AVG a "incorrect page rating report" and will correct the link if they say it is OK. (AVG is a great program & provider!) Re merger, since there is basically nothing to merge from this article, I think AFD is simplest. But yours is a good idea, and I'll merge in a few days if we don't get a AFD consensus. Thank you, Alinor, for responding. --S. Rich (talk) 17:37, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I received a response from AVG. They report the threat detection was correct. (Anyone who wishes to see their response should email me.)--S. Rich (talk) 15:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but even if it has a virus - it still may be the official site (e.g. lazy admin or intentionally inserted by the admin) - so I think it should be put in the Foreign relations page (with a 'beware virus' tag of some sort). Alinor (talk) 07:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ISBN 9780706983685 has a maiyan on page 29, which seems to be a related part of the overall ceremony, if not the simple alternative spelling of the name that ISBN 9781858563534 pp. 73 indicates it to be.

Atlantic Airlines (United States)

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

Article was created in 2008 by User:Atlanticairlinesinc (only Wikipedia edit by this user, so likely Conflict of Interest and Advertizing). Since then, nothing has changed significantly, especially the fact that the airline's website is still the only source. There are no reliable third party references to be found, which would add some deeper coverage of the company to pass WP:CORP. Atlantic Airlines is only a small airline which has not been assigned an airline code, which IMO means that the company is of no sufficient encyclopedic value.

If it needs to kept, maybe it's better to make it a disambig rather than a redirect? If the point of redirecting to Rover Group is just that both lines are mentioned so a reader can find more information (it's conceivable e.g. the reader has followed an external link to the old Wikipedia article on a dated webpage somewhere) then such a reader is presumably better-served by a disambig page that points to all the places where that info has gone?

- Reply - because the song fails to meet notability for a song. per WP:NSONG. -- Whpq (talk) 17:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As stated on the notability page: "A separate article on a song should only exist when there is enough verifiable material to have a reasonably detailed article. Articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album".Ajsmith141 (talk) 19:46, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - That is a necessary but not sufficient condition to establish that a separate article for a song should be created. You carefully snipped the text out of context. Right before that little passage you quote is "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside..." which identifies the how to decide that a song would meet notability. The part you have quoted is an addiitonal condition, that even if a song has charted, it still needs sourcing such that a fully developed article can be created. The article, as it stands right now, has no reliable sources. A blog on Bloglspot is not a reliable source. And I see no substantial coverage about the song. So it fails notability, and fails sourcing even if notability were otherwise established through charting. -- Whpq (talk) 19:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reference added which includes newspaper articles based on the matter. Notability - due to this very single, the departure of manager Chas Chandler who guided, produced and led the band to six number one hits in the 70s, a total of 17 top 20 hits. Fair amount of press coverage on the incident which the single was based on. Only non-charting single from 1980 to 1988.Ajsmith141 (talk) 21:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no notability whatsoever aside from the claimed assertation that it's popular, which seems to be clearly false. It was oh so very popular that they made a whole SEVEN episodes, and so popular that DOZENS of people have flocked to watch it on youtube.

Keep Okay, granted, the links need to be fixed, but as I've argued on the page's discussion, how can anybody even begin to try to define what "notable" means? Wikipedia's criteria for what can be defined as "notable" is a complete joke. Notability is a completely subjective term whether you happen to try to define in finite terms or not. So when wikipedia says ""Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment." Who's going to tell me that mission statement is bogus, and that what we really want to do is be exclusionist. For what? To save paper? If even only one single person on this earth wants to get more information about this club on wikipedia, then leaving the page up should be worth it, according to wikipedia themselves, and frankly anyone disputing that is doing a disservice to the site. Please note the wikipedia mission statement does not read:""Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the knowledge that the people who use wikipedia the most deem notable using some ridiculous criteria that we'll enforece in order to give us something to do. That's our commitment." Keen 3 (talk) 14:58, 17 November 2010 (UTC) — Keen 3 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

If you type Glitterbomb Goldschlager into Google, there are links to several bars and clubs that serve this cocktail. Is that not proof that it's not made up?

Comment Of course, all cocktails are made up at the beginning, but those that are notable and have enduring articles in Wikipedia need to have multiple, independent, reliable sources that discuss them in detail. A mention on the website of a bar or club promoting a new drink does not qualify. Perhaps an article in a daily paper that serves the Swindon area that discusses this new drink sensation might qualify. Can you provide such reliable sources?

Delete: Fails WP:NSPORT, no evidence of national news articles describing the subject in significant detail. Ravenswing 17:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NSPORTS is not an exclusionary standard. A college football player who "fails" NSPORTS is not excluded from Wikipedia. It is one of the ways to be included. A college football player who never plays professional football still gets included if he/she has non-trivial coverage (i.e., more than passing references in game coverage) in the mainstream media sufficient to satisfy GNG. There is no requirement that such coverage be from the "national" media. While I agree in some cases that limited coverage in a single, small-town paper may not suffice, here we have multiple feature stories in major metropolitan newspapers in New Jersey and New York states., including the The Post-Standard, Syracuse Herald American, and Home News Tribune. There are also articles from The Daily Orange and Our Sports Central. Though less meaty, there's also a Sports Illustrated article that has some brief discussion of Dumas. Cbl62 (talk) 15:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I haven't had a chance to research the news coverage yet. However, Mandsford raised a question at the Byron Hardmon AfD about whether playing in NFL Europa qualifies as fully professional. WP:NSPORT recognizes the USFL, CFL,and Arena Football League as fully professonal, rejects AF2 and makes no mention of NFL Europa. I don't know how the level of play in NFL Europa compares with the CFL or Arena Football League, but we should probably have an express ruling on that. Mandsford asserts that NFL Europa should be the same as fully professional baseball and basketball leagues outside of the United States. Says Mandsford: "The six teams of NFL Europe not only represented the highest level of American football in Germany and other nations at the time, but were also comparable (or higher) to the quality of play in the Canadian and Arena leagues." This may be something to be taken up at WP:NSPORT. Cbl62 (talk) 20:12, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: It's generally held, across the board, that the "top-level international leagues" which usually represent the basic devolved NSPORTS criteria presupposes that the sport in question is of major stature in the particular countries. However much a cricket league in the United States, an ice hockey league in Japan or a basketball league in England might be the highest level of those sports in those nations, no one holds their players to be de facto notable. Ravenswing 21:04, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See List of leagues of American football#List of defunct American football minor leagues around the world, which lists NFL Europe under this category. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:24, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even though injuries cut his career short and prevented him from being an NFL player, a college player passes general notability standards if he has had significant, non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media. Dumas has tons of news coverage from his college years. He was the top defensive player for Syracuse, and there are more than a dozen feature stories about him from major daily newspapers from his time as a college football player. This is not "typical" news coverage for a college player. There are other college players currently up for AfD (e.g., Charles Missant and Wade Betschart) where I have voted "delete" precisely because there is not significant news coverage like this. I have completely re-written the article and integrated many of those sources into the article. In light of this news coverage, the article is a "Keep." Cbl62 (talk) 07:31, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak keep - I took another look at the article after Cbl62 reworked it last night. Of the online sources, only one appears to be non-trivial with regard to Dumas, and that's this one from the Syracuse student newspaper. There are a bunch of offline sources, regarding which I have to just AGF. But I have to guess that, among those 15 offline sources, there are at least one or two that are non-trivial, to go with the one online. It's weak, but I'm changing my !vote to "keep". (Sorry, forgot to sign! cmadler (talk) 15:41, 10 November 2010 (UTC))[reply]

There are actually multiple feature stories about him in The Post-Standard, Syracuse Herald American, The Star-Ledger and Watertown Daily Times. These articles are available on-line (with subscription) through newspapers.com. They include in-depth coverage of Dumas. For example, the article, "DEFINING SEASON: JAMEEL DUMAS; Linebacker's back for a fresh start", fills a half-page of the paper. The article, "Dumas aches to play: The SU linebacker aspires to play in the NFL, but an injury sidelines him" is a full column from top to bottom of the page. References 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22 and 24 are all substantial feature stories that are about Dumas. Though shorter, many of the other articles cited in the article (30 in all) are also stories that focus on Dumas as the subject. That is an extraordinary level of coverage for a college player and clearly passes the general notability threshold. Cbl62 (talk) 15:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If they're available online (even behind a paywall), can you add links? Also, can you either give (a) link(s) or more bibliographical information for the Post-Herald? I can't figure out what newspaper that is, where it's based, etc. cmadler (talk) 15:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the way newspaperarchive.com works, you can't link directly to an article. I've tried in the past and it just takes you to the main site. The site is http://newspaperarchive.com/. The Post-Standard was founded in 1829 and is the major metropolitan newspaper for Syracuse, New York. It is one of the 100 largest papers in the USA.[28]. The Syracuse metropolitan area has a population of 732,117,which is larger than the population of 60 countries (including Iceland and Belize).[29] Cbl62 (talk) 16:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I figured out The Post-Standard, but what is The Post-Herald? cmadler (talk) 16:36, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not certain about this, but I think there may have a period around the Syracuse Herald-Journal folded in 2001 when the papers may have been combined. Cbl62 (talk) 16:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's it, because the Post-Standard and Post-Herald articles cited in this article are from the same time period. The only Post-Herald I can find on that newspaperarchive.com website is the Buckley (WV) Post-Herald, which went out of business in 1977(?), so that wouldn't be it. There's also a Post-Herald in Birmingham, Alabama, but I'd be surprised if that's it either. A search on newspaperarchive.com for "Jameel Dumas" did not turn up any articles from any Post-Herald. Can you double-check where those came from? cmadler (talk) 16:58, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check tonight. The other possibility is that I mis-cited the newspaper as "Post-Herald" when it was actually "Post-Standard." If so, I'll fix it tonight. I'm glad to have introduced you to newspaperarchive.com. It has full coverage of a lot of newspapers not found on google news; their yearly subscription is actually a pretty good deal if you do a fair amount of research. Maybe some day, Google will buy newspaperarchive and it will all be searchable in one place. Cbl62 (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to List of Running Wilde episodes: non-notable episode of a not-very-notable show --Logical Fuzz (talk) 22:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I created the article in the first place is that Mitch Hurwitz seems to love the use of running gags, both within a project, and between projects he and/or others in them have worked on. Take for example Arrested Development. As on the pages for individual episodes of Arrested Development, there are (quite large) sections for background references and callbacks. In this episode here, there was an obvious callback to Arrested Developement (David Cross's chronic use of "Come On!"). Noting this on the Epsides page would clutter it up, and furthermore, I assumed others would add other references they'd noticed; and so I created this page. I think this callback is a noteworthy observation between the two series, and having now watched all the current episodes and come across other background jokes, I think it's a matter of time before wikipedia-users will start to edit/create pages for just these reasons. Just my thoughts. Barmy Fotheringay-Phipps (talk) 22:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- response - if these things are not taken note of by reliable sources, they have no place here. This is not a Mitch Hurwitz fanboy forum, nor a blog for "spot the references" games to be played. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:11, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that others found specifics after the AFD was filed strongly suggest that others could have found specifics before the AFD was filed. None of us our perfect, and most of us here could tell of searches we did that failed, but others were able found good information on the same subject. But you have to ask, and ADFs are not really not the best way to do that. That is where projects can be of big help, and editors that have been of help in the past. - BilCat (talk) 17:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What "specifics"? You mean the "brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business"? Anyways, it's not worth fighting over. Justin W Smith ^talk/_stalk 17:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did do multiple searches for information about the company, and have yet to see a substantive article about the company. They're almost all in the form of press releases, which are "self-published" and not admissible. For example, this reference is a press release. And this would qualify as a "brief announcement". You can disagree with the nomination, but don't say that it's baseless w/o clear evidence to the contrary. Justin W Smith ^talk/_stalk 17:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then continue to file premature frivolous AFDs in complete oblivion. I'll be very surprised if the article is deleted, and I'll certainly contest it if it is. The AFD is not even a day old, and I'll still be doing more work over the next 7 days as I have time. I wouldn't even be trying if I genuinely though the company was not notable. - BilCat (talk) 17:33, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lighten up. (I don't file AfD very often so there's no need to assume that I'll "continue to...".) And the article almost surely won't be deleted, so you can relax. Justin W Smith ^talk/_stalk 17:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC) (18:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I almost never file a PROD or AFD without seeking a second opinion on a project page or from an editor I trust. The fact that you apparantly relied solely on your own judgement is qutie telling. WP is a collaborative project, and it's almost always a good thing to get someone else involved in whatever one does in WP. - BilCat (talk) 17:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"quite telling"? "Telling" of what? It's brought to an AfD for review; that's what an AfD is for. However, I'll try to remember to bounce it off a few others before I nominate next time. Also, I've been around Wikipedia long enough to understand the collaboration involved. Don't be so insulting.

Cool off... relax. You're way too worked up over this. And again, you're assuming bad faith. The policy says "once the notability is established...", which hasn't been done yet due to the dearth of reliable sources. But I have no interest in edit warring over this issue.

Hi, I am new to editing articles on Wikipedia. I seem to have offended a number of you with my additions to "The Realm Online" but I assure you, I mean no malice to anybody. i feel this way because when my content was removed, I was given very little reason as to why. Being a player of the game for over 10 years, I felt my experience in the community could add to the article that existed prior. So when that didn't work, I created a separate page. I understand that my experiences cannot be referenced, but the information I provided is a unique look at the game's robust history. Although I am glad to see that Wikipedia articles are being thoroughly examined for relevant content, I feel that I am being attacked in this scenario. The Realm has been running for 15 years and I honestly feel that the limited amount of history provided by the current article does not do the game justice, as I feel it deserves, being one of the oldest MMORPG or MUD games around. I see that I am outnumbered by people who feel my articles are worthless, and for that, my contributions are being taken down. Am I to understand that these parts of this game's history (In game commerce, player to player scamming) do not belong on The Free Encyclopaedia? I feel these elements are pertinent to this game's history. A reference to my contributions doesn't exist beyond my own experiences, but that does not warrant the erasure of such a rich history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sickschiggins (talk • contribs) 03:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Response. It seems that you do not understand that Wikipedia requires all information to be verified in reliable, independent sources. I understand that you would like to publish your thoughts about the history of this game, but Wikipedia is not a first publisher of information- it is against the rules for us to use any information from you except that which is referenced. Since you say that you understand that your experiences cannot be referenced, then you understand that you haven't contributed anything that Wikipedia's rules permit us to publish, but I hope you find a place that will publish your thoughts on this subject. Perhaps a games magazine or web site? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 03:09, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi, Sickschiggins. It's unfortunate that you've had such a difficult initial experience, and please know that you're welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but that the way you contribute needs to be in keeping with Wikipedia's policies and standards. To understand why your contribution of this document isn't appropriate, it's first necessary to understand that Wikipedia is not a place for publishing accounts of one's personal experience with topics; it is an encyclopedia built on information that can be verified with reliable third-party sources. Reading WP:Verifiability and WP:No original research should clarify this. I also note that nobody is "erasing" the history you've created; you are perfectly welcome to publish it on your own web site, for example. Not everything needs to be in Wikipedia. —chaos5023 (talk) 03:12, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thank you for responding. Thanks for fixing the formatting. I was a little perturbed in the beginning because the user who originally removed my content from the page was a self-proclaimed wikipedia nazi (in their bio). Based on that immature description of themselves, I thought it was a user who just hadn't read my contribution, and was angry to see someone else adding to their article. It then became obvious that there was a team of people trying to remove my additions. The information I provided is minimal and I do not have a website to post it: Wikipedia provided a space for me to add content that is not being portrayed in the gaming industry. Thank you for clarifying that there are rules to follow and I was blatantly not following them. I had never once considered what I was doing as 'publishing' and was, honestly, just trying to spruce up the boring, short and non-specific article that currently exists. I figured, being a fan of the game, that there just wasn't enough there. I guess I didn't think it through more than that. Short and generally obscure reasons were given as to why it was removed, all of which I felt were inadequete . "Excessive and pointless fancruft" seems to be an inadequate reason to remove what I added, but, FisherQueen and Chaos5023, thank you for explaining my mistakes to me and offering suggestions so that my contributions can be read. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sickschiggins (talk • contribs) 04:17, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're entirely welcome, and I apologize that none of us managed to effectively communicate about the matter earlier. One of the dangers we encounter as we become more experienced as Wikipedia editors is that we fall into patterns of communication via shorthand and jargon that wind up doing what we call "biting the newbies" (itself a piece of jargon!). You got bit; sorry. Your basic motivations, in seeing the state of the article and feeling it needed more material, are absolutely great, and are what Wikipedia at its best thrives on. If you can take that motivation and add on the skills involved in working from reliable sources, great things will result. :) For instance, you very well might be able to go onto Google Books, search for "the realm online" and find previewable sources that provide verifiable documentation of facts about The Realm Online that you'd like to add. It's a bit of work, no question, but it's definitely something that can be picked up. —chaos5023 (talk) 04:31, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep The article's addressable puffery aside, assertions of having won the title of Mr. USA and being runner up of 2000 Mister World [34] contest are claims of notability that should meet WP:ANYBIO if properly sourced. If sourced wins and nominations for Miss USA and Miss World are acceptable for showing female notability under ANYBIO, the equivalent male pagents should be acceptable for showing notability for males... even though the guy's pagents get far less popular coverage. Fair is fair. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:28, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The difference is that female beauty contests receive much more coverage, and several women are internationally famous for having won them, and this is not the case with the male versions.--Michig (talk) 07:14, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... more coverage due to the long-standing objectification of women... and certainly, there are far more female pagents of all sorts. Currently WP:ANYBIO does not condone nor grant the existance of a double standard. To eliminate any such considerations in the future, ANYBIO should be rewritten to specifically disallow notability for such equivalent male pagents.

Howard Perdew

AfDs for this article:

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

The sources are:

Two directory listings from NSAI which mention no more than his name.
A "reported attack site"
A blurb about a song that Perdew wrote that mentions no more than his name.
A 404.

In short, while he may meet WP:MUSIC for having written three songs for Joe Diffie, a search turns up no BLP info whatsoever, just directory listings such as allmusic. Without any reliable secondary sources that are explicitly about him, he fails WP:GNG. Last time around I suggested that a lawsuit about one of his songs may be enough, but again, the lawsuit barely mentions anything about him.

Keep, speedy close. Once again, the nominator hasn't done a minimally competent job of Google searching or complying with WP:BEFORE; the very first Google Books hit provides an adequate biography as well as sourcing for the awards which demonstrate notability and the song authorship which does the same. If recording a single track that barely cracks the top 40 is enough to establish notability, as the nominator has indicated, then writing three well-known songs that hit number one surely should be. Once again, the reason the nom can't find sources seems to be that he isn't bothering to look. There's also at least one GNews hit that he ignores.

The result was keep. There is no consensus to delete. General consensus is that news items which do not have enduring notability (short lived) are not suitable for Wikipedia; however, there is no clear consensus that this news item will not last, and arguments have been put forward that there is a possibility the information will be referred to in books on the topic. Additionally, it is felt that the incident is interesting enough to be included in at least two other articles - one on related scams and the other on the victim who appears to have some form of notability and an article may be created on this person at some point. Given the lack of clear consensus to delete, and arguments put forward for possible endurance of interest in the material this is a keep. SilkTork *^YES! 10:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The sources seem impressive. I'd be open to the notion of merging this article under a more general article describing the type of this scam; the story seems to be an updated version of the old fortune teller's "you are under a curse, pay me to remove it" confidence trick. I don't know if that particular scam has a name, or if so whether we have an article about it, but it might be worth looking into. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:21, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your response is geared towards proving that the incident was WP:Notable, but the nomination is talking about WP:NOT, a policy. In this current media environment, everything is instantly reported by every news organization everywhere. Abductive (reasoning) 20:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, not quite, but yes: this particular event seems to have been reported by quality sources. So I was wondering whether there was a general name for the old fortune teller curse scam. We have a number of articles on traditional confidence tricks, like the Spanish Prisoner and the reloading scam, but I haven't been able to determine whether the fortune teller curse scam has a name or not. This is fairly obviously a high tech version of the same swindle. We have sourced information about this, so while I'd agree that this could be merged into another article, right now I don't know what that article is or what its traditional name would be. We do have a list of confidence tricks, but none of our existing entries seem to match what I am thinking of. This page contains news reports of more traditional incidents. So until someone comes up with the label for this particular kind of confidence trick, and points to or creates an article about it, I say keep, at least in the interim. I may try to gather what I can find and cruft something together, but right now I'm searching for the right title. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question. I'm wondering if there is enough to for a merge and redirect to Roger Davidson (musician). Per one article: 1) Raul Jaurena’s “Te Amo Tango", which won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Tango Album in 2007, was produced by Davidson, and 2) Davidson is the great-grandson and great-grandnephew of the Schlumberger brothers who founded the world's largest oilfield company, Schlumberger Limited. Per another, he is an acclaimed modern composer and the founder of Soundbrush Records. I understand notability is not inherited, but is there enough on this guy to pass WP:MUSICBIO? It seems as though if he was scammed out of $6 to $20 million, then he must be relatively successful and therefore possibly notable. Location (talk) 05:04, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would support the merge, if the article were written. Given the Grammys, I don't think there's any issue with the musician's notability. (I think the relationship to the Schlumbergers is irrelevant, see WP:NOTINHERITED, although there's no problem with mentioning it in an article whose notability is supported by the other factors, such as the Grammy awards.)

Comment. I have started an article on fortune telling fraud, and added some of the information here to that article. As far as I've been able to learn, the traditional name for this particular kind of operation is bujo; but that's a Romany word, not English, and as such refers specifically to the Gypsy fortune teller version of the operation. The composer victim may be notable in his own right, but I'm not convinced that the best place for this information is in an article about him. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moving as much content as is appropriate into the fortune telling fraud article and deleting Datalink Computer Services incident seems to be the best solution; and if Roger Davidson (musician) is ever created, it's worth noting the incident there (short of coatracking) as well. No need to redirect Datalink Computer Services incident to either. 00:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Keep There is notable well-sourced information here. Describing this as fortune telling fraud seems to be improper synthesis.

"Shall we merge Y2K and other computer scare stories into this concept too?"

Colonel Warden (talk) 20:18, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since the event in question is too young to have continuing coverage as required by WP:POLICY, I am right and you are wrong. I'll look at your source. Abductive (reasoning) 20:27, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE is not policy and so your point is so incoherent it is hard to tell what it means. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same section of WP:NOT that contains WP:NOTNEWS also references WP:NOTE (and by implication WP:EVENT, which contains WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE).

Delete or put a brief paragraph in Transmedia storytelling. (The poor thing doesn't deserve the whole of this dumped on it...) Correct me if I'm wrong, but the impression I get from this article is that some people have thought of using multimedia techniques for getting other people involved with things. And that some people have decorated this idea utilising polysyllabic metamorphoses of otherwise simple concepts.

Comment re: Transmedia storytelling. Doesn't this article suffer from many of the same defects as Transmedia activism, minus the COI? Ditto Transmedial play. Quite apart from all three being overburdened with the same kind of grandiloquent guff, the sourcing for each is all quite poor. I don't see that any of these neologisms enjoys sufficient currency to merit a standalone article. It seems to me that the point of each article is to try to increase the currency of the term by creating an article about it on Wikipedia, rather than what it should be: to explain a concept that already has already received significant coverage in reliable sources. -- Rrburke (talk) 21:52, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge with transmedia storytelling. There may be some logic to moving the key points of this article to a paragraph within the transmedia storytelling article for the moment, until more has been published about transmedia activism. That said, the difference between this iteration of the article and the previous one is that it now cites a number of existing published sources and concrete examples. Also, the idea seems pretty clear: transmedia stories are narratives that move across different media platforms. So the person following the narrative has to look across different kinds of media to follow the story. Some activists are starting to use this as a strategy, and calling it transmedia activism. And some scholars are starting to write about how this is happening. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.190.120.66 (talk • contribs) — 12.190.120.66 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment The problem with all of the sources furnished so far is that they are controlled by the people who are mentioned in the article as having done the research.

It's also apparently the only source in existence that documents this person coherently. I found several records mentioning this person, but lacking a secondary source by a historian piecing those records together, apart from (I presume.) the local history society article, I was unable to make anything coherent out of them in order to support this. I have little doubt that the source cited exists, but it's the only source in existence it seems; I don't know what it says, or who wrote it, or what xyr credentials were; and I have no idea what, if any, of this article it supports.

Keep None of the Above. The decision to delete an LA actor smells bad when the subject page in question contains a beg for money message from Jimbo Wales. There is clearly way too much East Coast user/admin bias on these deletions. Anyone named after a mustard brand has to be worthy of notable citations and Glee is not a web based junk factory. Actors and artistic performers should not be deleted by armchair critics who have no personal knowledge or have actually seen them perform.

Resume for a non-notable lyricist/writer. SnottyWong ^prattle 16:32, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think this wikipedia entry should be kept because through his active social networking, he has acknowledged that his is the dialogue writer for director Shankar's latest project - the Tamil remake of the highly successful film "3 Idiots". Secondly he is not banking on the success of his father. His assistance in Endhiran, both in dialogue writing and song writing was brought upon his independent approach to the director. He has also recently written a song for KV Anand's upcoming film "Ko". which has become one of the fastest Youtube hit in India within a matter of days! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.132.36 (talk) 00:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC) — 78.105.132.36 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment - This fails every basic rules we have to establish notability and for sourcing including WP:GNG. If you have a close look at the sources than you will notice that there is only one primary source that mention "the name" only one time. No further information whatsoever in this document or in any other documents. I know you are an knowledgeable long term user who should know that we do have basic requirements that need to be fulfilled. This here ridiculously fails our guidelines that i ask you either to name the "available material" here on this page or i think your !vote should be discounted. Any other source other than the one document that mention the name one time? That would surely not enough for any individual in the world to write an encyclopedic biography on a person no matter how low you want to put the standard. Somehow it looks like we are heading in direction of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unknown Tajiki captive in Guantanamo or Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2010_July_15#Al_Fand_training_camp_.28closed.29 that were deleted for the same reason.

Delete Nothing notable about this collection except for a fancy silver wrap-around on the cover and a few extra features per DVD. No one but film collectors usually gets excited about this and they just want the movies individually. Nate • (chatter) 22:26, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete. I'd lean to keep if it were clearly marked as a list with clear inclusion criteria and sourcing. At the very least the article must clearly state the market where "distributed by Title Company" holds true (you may be surprised to know just how many businesses have legitimate rights to distribute these films). But then there's no need to split the list of Universal (or anyone else's) titles into a bunch of very small lists. The "collection" itself has no more encyclopedic value than the 1999 Armani Underpants Leftover. East of Borschov 10:02, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep None of the Above. The decision to delete a young rising singer smells bad when the subject page in question contains a beg for money message from Jimbo Wales. There is clearly way too much East Coast user/admin bias on these deletions. A five octave range and appearing with

other film actors is notable. Actors and artistic performers should not be deleted by armchair critics who have no personal knowledge or have actually seen them perform.

Delete - Lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Based on the information in the article, the subject is primarily a stage actor so it is not surprising to have no IMDB entry. However, I can find no coverage about those performances in the form of articles about him, or reviews that highlight his performance. The article also identifies him as a gymnast, but state level success falls well short of what would be needed to pass notability as an athlete. -- Whpq (talk) 17:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Bandwagon Club

Using the rationale from this September 2009 edit is a little silly, given the six source citations that have been added since. It makes it appear as if you are not really looking at the article at all and just repeatedly and robotically escalating the deletion tagging. What efforts did you make to comply with Wikipedia:Deletion policy and determine that there are no sources? Do you have a nomination rationale that actually takes into account the article in front of you, and its references section? Uncle G (talk) 00:57, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - At this point this is about an historical element of the UK music scene. The first reference (the Liverpool Echo article) shows suficient coverage to not require original research to creat this article. Someone could hear about the Bandwagon Club, wonder what it was and come to Wikipedia to find out what it was. That's what articles are here for.

Keep - The AFD nomination is puzzling as the removal of the PROD was followed by editting to address the issue. Sources were added before the AFD nomination which addresses notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I deprodded for the second time, and this time I pulled my finger out and added some sources. I think notability is shown, but if not a merge to The Bandits would make sense, seeing how they ran this club night. Deletion is not really an option: this is a careless nomination. Fences&Windows 00:42, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is sourced and those sources do indicate notability. --Oakshade (talk) 06:02, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of places in Tasmania by population

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

Unnecessary, problematic, difficult to manage, quickly outdated and relatively pointless list that apparently serves only to rank cities in the state by size. Discussed at WP:AWNB and the only opinions expressed suggested deletion. It was originally created as a list of cities by an editor who appears to be under the misconception that an "Urban Centre/Locality" (UC/L) is a city. However, the list is simply that of various places in the state and does not necessarily include all UC/Ls in the state. Based on examination of all three similar articles created by the same editor (List of cities in Victoria by population, List of cities in Tasmania by population and List of places in Northern Territory by population) tThe list is ~~likely~~ most definitely incomplete, missing over 80% of the UCL/s in the state. Article includes only a single generic reference. A more detailed explanation of the issues and a comparison with the other articles may be found at Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board#List of cities/places in <state> by population AussieLegend (talk) 18:44, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. I'm not even that familiar with Tasmania and I can see several places missing which are long-standing towns (e.g. St Helens) and for which, for whatever reason, the ABS has not created UC/Ls. List of cities in Australia by population is much better structured and organised, and isn't simply a list for list's sake. Orderinchaos 19:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of places in Northern Territory by population

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

Unnecessary, problematic, difficult to manage, quickly outdated and relatively pointless list that apparently serves only to rank places in the Northern Territory by size. Discussed at WP:AWNB and the only opinions expressed suggested deletion. The original intention seems to have been to create a list of cities by an editor who appears to be under the misconception that an "Urban Centre/Locality" (UC/L) is a city. However, the Northern Territory only has one city and the list is simply an incomplete list of various places in the NT, missing 77% of the UC/Ls in the NT. Article includes only a single generic reference.

Note that this should not be confused with Icarus (magazine) or Icarus Publishing, an erotic manga publisher. Regarding this magazine however, it is hard to find RSs, nearly all the independent hits I found on a Google search were blog entries, facebook pages, and the like. However there does seem to be a following of some sort for the magazine so I'm hesitant to vote oppose.--Johnsemlak (talk) 18:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Its not hugely notable, but there is sourcing that can be added--probably just one of a very few shops of this type that have sufficient coverage. But its weird to see an AfD like this not garner any attention, AfD participation seems to have dipped lower lately.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 02:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vzaar

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

Vzaar is not notable enough for an entry - this is merely an advert containing promotional language, written by the company. Clivewoods713 (talk) 18:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)— Clivewoods713 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

WP:CORP not notable - sources are either generic (link to ebay listing policies and link to encoding.com for example) or links to short copy/paste articles on non-notable blogs. Entry is marketing copy, non-objective and appears to only exist to provide back links to vzaar sites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clivewoods713 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 9 November 2010 (UTC) — Clivewoods713 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep. Guardian, BBC and iddictive refs appear to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:CORP. Needs rewrite to be encyclopedic rather than promotional in tone and focus, but that's not an argument for deletion. —chaos5023 (talk) 18:33, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The BBC article is a press release copy/paste from 2007! This is not a notable product, and the vast majority of updates and article creation were by 2 members of the staff of vzaar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clivewoods713 (talk • contribs) 09:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC) — Clivewoods713 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

FYI, your nomination of the article for deletion in the first place documents your position that it should be deleted, and entering a separate delete !vote isn't appropriate. —chaos5023 (talk) 03:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article is blatant commercial content. Ref [3] for example is totally irrelevant and is simply a link to their encoding provider. Vzaar is not notable and this article should be a delete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.10.192 (talk) 17:57, 13 November 2010 (UTC) — 86.31.10.192 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep. This one's easy. A Guardian UK article about its involvement with eBay and a second, not as strong but still good confirming citation clearly satisfy the criteria for notability based on reliable sources. Msnicki (talk) 03:52, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep References to BBC and Guardian are certainly good enough as WP:RS already. Not sure about Iddictive but I found this cnet article which for me establishes notability via WP:GNG. I might crack on with tidying up the article. Bigger digger (talk) 17:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Yep, the article has undergone some heavy pruning and gained a source for notability that I pointed out above, per this diff. I wonder if I can approach vzaar for payment! Bigger digger (talk) 19:38, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
