Vapir Vaporizer

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

Apparatus for vaporization of substances. Possession of a US patent is not evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:52, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Doesn't seem notable. Ran a quick Google search and was unable to find reliable sources discussing the vaporizer--GroovySandwich 10:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Amalgam Virgo

I know we cover conspiracy theories but i am not sure this one is sufficient verified and notable to have it's own article. Some more eyes needed. Please discuss. IQinn (talk) 23:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merged & Redirect; subject of article appears to be notable within the context of 9/11 conspiracies; therefore any referenced information can be merged and redirected there. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 09:12, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Andrey C. Hicks

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

He sounds like he was a successful student who later founded a small business, but I don't see anything in this article that asserts notability. The sources cited are all either trivial mentions of his name or self-published. Brian the Editor (talk) 22:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is notable. His fund manages over $1 billion in assets and his branding agency manages one of the most tracked reality personalities currently, Kris Humphries who is engaged to one of the most Googled names on the internet, Kim Kardashian. Brpostings (talk) 23:17, 28 July 2011 (UTC).— Brpostings (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

A) He is not his branding agency, or Humphries. B) Notability is not inherited. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unremarkable businessman, no reliable coverage - article reads like a borderline advertisement. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per above ... and to boot, the article has the all-too-usual WP:PEACOCK issues. For instance, the business is "focused on the development and execution of systematic trading strategies." In other words, it sells things. Sheesh. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 00:35, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Hedge funds don't actually "sell" things. I work in the industry as a recruiter and the fund and Mr. Hicks are definitely notable. Stephen A. Cohen and James Harris Simons are both hedge fund managers that have articles on Wikipedia and I can assure you that neither are "unremarkable" businessmen. Brpostings (talk) 00:44, 29 July 2011 (UTC).— Brpostings (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Comment: If the subject is notable, then perhaps you can - as WP:V requires - provide links to reliable third-party magazine or newspaper articles saying so, by discussing him in the "significant detail" required. Whether other fund managers have achieved notability is beside the point; this AfD is not about them. If he should keep a low profile as the SPA below claims, that's up to him, but notability as Wikipedia defines it involves being noticed by the public at large through such sources. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 15:38, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am also a recruiter in the hedge fund space and believe that the article is notable. It is important to have transparency in this industry so I thank Brpostings for the data mining. Also, note that most hedge fund managers maintain a low profile. Soniceko (talk) 01:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC).— Soniceko (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment: Just FYI, the second SPA just created redirects for Andrey Christopher Hicks and Andrey Hicks, which will have to be deleted with the main article when the AfD closes out. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 15:41, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The research article and ISEF award make it notable. The article seems to be edited recently to highlight such. Ecw7283 (talk) 21:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)— Ecw7283 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment. The ISEF award [4] was for $1000 when the subject was at high school. Not remotely sufficient. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Comment: To quote from the relevant guideline: "Victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements (at either high school, undergraduate or graduate level) do not qualify ..." for notability. The level of science awards which DO confer notability are Nobel Prizes, MacArthur Fellowships, Bancroft and Pulitzer Prizes, Fields Medals and the like. A shared "third place" high school prize isn't remotely close. ῲ Ravenswing ῴ 04:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Usually a number of SPAs popping up to defend a bio is a sure sign of lacking notability and this one is no exception. Apparently a good high-school student. Absolutely no independent sources after that. Misses WP:PROF, WP:BIO, and WP:GNG. --Crusio (talk) 10:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not notable. Hairhorn (talk) 17:53, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not seem to pass notability requirements under WP:PROF or WP:BIO. No citations, and no significant news coverage. Seems like an attempt to use WP as mini-resume holder for self-promotion. The “keeps” above are rather unreliable and don’t make a significant case. Not all hedge fund managers in the world are WP-notable.--Eric Yurken (talk) 15:02, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Meets none of the standard guidelines. Note that "managing money", even lots of it, is not inherently notable. This seems to be the confusion for many of the above SPA commentators. Appears to be a vanity page. Uncontroversial delete. Agricola44 (talk) 15:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. Does not fulfill Notability for either academics or businesspersons, early life section full of trivial details, not every Harvard graduate/hedge fund manager is notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article. Shearonink (talk) 07:14, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refense Technologies

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

Contested speedy deletion, not mine. Advertisement for a non-notable business that provides vulnerability and security risk management solutions for mission critical network infrastructure, and develops solutions to address security concerns with network devices. I gather that means they test routers and such.

Shot through with rosy language that tosses buzzwords around like it was Mardi Gras, but resists editing by vagueness:

focuses on vulnerability management solutions for network devices that enable enterprises to pinpoint vulnerabilities and provide actionable intelligence to mitigate the discovered deficiencies. Refense Technologies products and services enable organizations to perform a vulnerability audits based on a policy they created, or one of the many predefined polices based on best practices and recommendations within the IT security industry
a focused vulnerability & compliance management solution for network devices that enables enterprises to pinpoint vulnerabilities and provides mitigation information about the discovered deficiencies.
proactively discovers and helps correct vulnerabilities within firewalls, routers, switches and wireless access points which threaten the availability and integrity of those devices.
enables organizations to perform real time vulnerability scans utilizing predefined security policies which can be completely customized for compliance to specific policies and standards.

Non-notable composer whose article would have been deleted back in 2007 if it weren't that his music is so boring all parties involved forgot about the article. Incarnatus (talk) 20:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep One of his compositions was reviewed by the New Yorks Times on January 10, 2007. Google News Archive confirms that several orchestras have performed his works. Four notable performers hsve recorded his works. Nominator's personal opinion that his music is "boring" is utterly irrelevant and will be disregarded, I am sure, by the closing administrator. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:27, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wouldn't matter if he wrote the most exciting music in the world, he's non-notable and that's what matters here. Incarnatus (talk) 20:29, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When major publications write about a composer and review his work, when notable orchestras perform and notable artists record his work, then that composer is notable. Such is the case here. I found a second New York Times review November 13, 2002. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ISTAG

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

Obscure European "advisory body". No independent sources about this "body". Does not meet WP:GNG. Crusio (talk) 19:51, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or upmerge a relevant summary into Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development. These EU projects (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PARSIFAL Project EU, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GENESIS – Groundwater and Dependent Ecosystems and others in the past) are probably closest to notability en masse as a systematic distribution of funding to favoured institutions, so should possibly be covered as such rather than individual mission-statement-speak articles. In late breaking news it appears that ISTAG has concluded that there should be more of the same, with "sufficient budget allocation". Nice work if you can get it. AllyD (talk) 20:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Framework Programmes as a whole certainly are notable and although the article doesn't show it, there must be a ton of references out there. The individual projects funded by the Framework Program are almost never notable, though (by analogy, NIH is very notable, but hardly any of the individual grants it gives are). However, as far as I can see, ISTAG is not directly related to the FPs. If a merge were the outcome of this AfD, Directorate-General for Information Society and Media (European Commission) might be a better target. --Crusio (talk) 20:58, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or smerge per comments above. I don't know how relevant this program is in the grand picture, so it may be wp:undue to just dump it in the Framework article. Not notable by itself, failing WP:GNG. The PR person creating these should be encouraged to create a table in some notable article, instead of these mission-speak stubs. FuFoFuEd (talk) 21:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
merge as suggested. DGG ( talk ) 04:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge It seems just an advisory board for the larger org. I worked a bit merging a few of the defunct research projects into Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development but there is much more to do than I have time right now. I started doing prose, but maybe a table might be better if it all becomes too boiler plate for each project. This is not a project but an advisory group that seems to have survived into the seventh round, so more likely to be notable than projects that came and went. I cannot always follow the newspeak to determine which orgs do what, however. W Nowicki (talk) 19:33, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Axentis

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

This one just deserves a wide audience. Unambiguous advertisement for a software provider of on-demand, enterprise governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solutions. But now we know why these "management solutions" are described in the vaguest possible terms. This one says too much, and is interesting:

The company’s flagship product, AXENTIS Enterprise, enables customers to implement risk-driven compliance programs that incorporate all Elements of an Effective Compliance and Ethics program as defined by the U.S. Sentencing Commission and Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

<boggle> Software to pre-emptively keep businessmen from doing anything that will enhance their sentence when convicted in a U.S. federal court. God bless America!

This just might be the sort of story that is of interest to real news media, but is the sort of thing that the US media tends to avoid.

Kinaxis

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

Article re-created after speedy deletion as unambiguous advertising. AfD for a hard precedent.

Another non-notable provider of supply chain management solutions. Unambiguous advertisement and intentionally vague sales patter:

offers an on-demand supply chain response management service for demand-supply planning, monitoring, and collaborative response
product addresses functional areas including sales and operations planning (S&OP), demand management, supply management, supply chain risk management, supply chain visibility, and lean manufacturing.

References are to trade award coverage in the hometown paper, a sales brochure white paper, unavailable, apparently hosted at a trade website, blogs, and press releases. I find no better.

Unverifiable.

Delete - I found the website reference archived here. [6] It reveals no more information than contained in the article, except that whatever Common Knowledge was, it failed. It also makes it clear that this is just a "Hall Of Fame" page on this particular site, not a record of some more significant institution. I can find almost no other reference to the project at all, outside of the two Wikipedia articles. Google Books returns two results referring to this subject, but I think one is an Italian translation of the Wikipedia articles. The other, here [7], could very well be promising, and gives us the first hint of what Common Knowledge actually is; a non-profit organization. But it's just a newsletter, and the mention may be trivial (fulltext is not available, so it's hard to tell.) With that the only possible source to give any useful information about the subject, and no other mentions anywhere I can find, I doubt that it is possible to demonstrate notability. gnfnrf (talk) 03:08, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfulfilled religious predictions

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

This page has contained a mishmash of random "unfulfilled" predictions for years now, with no evidence of improvement. I filed the first nomination a year and a half ago, because the page (1) arbitrarily consists almost exclusively of Christian predictions in the last 200 years; (2) treats significant prophetic failures as if they were no more notable than the daily utterances of Benny Hinn; (3) gives no demarcation guideline so that the equal representation of televangelists and actual religious leaders is all but invited and (4) there is no reason in the world that this particular form of failed prediction is any more noteworthy or encyclopedic than the dozens of other possibilities. I will not participate in this discussion, since I've had my say twice now. Read the article, see its history and ask yourself whether there really is any reason to believe that a worthwhile listing of unfulfilled religious prophecies will come from this. Phiwum (talk) 16:46, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Nicely sourced list of in-links for notable events and individuals. Would we be having this discussion if the title was List of unfulfilled religious predictions? Probably not. Carrite (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep though possibly rename to "list of unfulfilled religious predictions" per carrite. This list does not fail any part of WP:LIST, it has descriminate inclusion criteria, is of a notable topic, and is not a trivial intersection of other categories. to address the nominators points: 1) not arbitrarily, it seems those are the predictions for which the best sources exist. 2) This is an NPOV matter, we cannot use in-dogma importance as a criteria because everyone will say their prophet is the best prophet. 3) This is also an NPOV matter. We report on what has been reported on, not The Truth, if a televangelist gets as much attention in popular culture he is to be treated equally. 4) You are entirely correct, that is a reason to make List of failed technological predictions not delete this list. HominidMachinae (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Like previously mentioned, this seems like a rather vague title. There's plenty of valid, verifiable information to be had here, but there could be a lot of grey area regarding what constitutes a real "religious prediction", and by extension what a real "religion" is. However, I feel it would be better to clarify and improve the article rather than do away with it entirely. →^Jog_Con← 21:46, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SXC Health Solutions

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

Contested proposed deletion. Article is about a behind the scenes business that manages prescription drug benefits for employers. Serious neutrality issues here; according to the article, this business has moved from one success to another.

Business notability is not established by the article's references. Most are to internal sources. Others are to Top 100 lists, directories, employee newsletters, and press release announcements of routine acquisitions. I find similar on Google News, but nothing that suggests that this business has had a significant effect on history, technology, or culture. Closest thing that comes to significant neutral coverage is this top 10 list from a tech stock newsletter. Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:25, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As a publicly traded company that has been the subject of significant third party coverage for over a decade, this company easily meets WP:GNG and WP:CORP. The company's stock performance along has been the subject of scores of third party publications. Finding secondary sources for companies like these is not as easy as it is for one that makes durable consumer goods, but in this case there is a significant amount of nontrivial coverage. Tone issues are handled by fixing the article, not deleting it. VQuakr (talk) 16:59, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
delete this is blatant ~~self~~ promotion. the sources are not neutral and not serious. one of them is a pdf of the university of toledo's employee benefits newsletter which announcing that they're switching to this company for prescription fulfillment: how could that conceivably be relevant to anything? none of these sources could be used to rewrite this article to satisfy any of the guidelines it violates.

point taken. Alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 20:40, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - For the same reasons the article was denied a proposed deletion request one year ago when the same user proposed deletion (and the result was keep). The sources aren't intentionally promoting the company, they are not affiliated with the company (some were removed a year ago,). The pdf shows that the University of Toledo considers the company to be relevant (services are used by notable institutions). Millions of Americans deal with SXC on a regular basis. The article continues to get attention (views). Since the last time it was proposed for deletion (and kept) the company has grown even larger due to another acquisition that gave it a foothold in a whole other market (specialty pharmacy) and added more patients. The company's services are widely used (a Pharmaceutical Care Management Association study in 2009 said that electronic prescription will make up 75% of all by 2014 compared to 15% in 2006). Agree with VQuakr that any problems with the company article stem not from SXC's irrelevance but from tone issues. A lot of Pharmacy Benefit Industry operations happen 'behind the scenes', that doesn't make it insignificant; it is a vital component of the health industry. Also, it's listed on 2 major indices, the TSX and Nasdaq.Grmike (talk) 19:20, 28 July 2011 (UTC)grmike[reply]

The-Pope (talk) 15:16, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article states he played for the Bengals in the last game of the 2004 season and "registered three receptions."

Without knowing much about the finer points of NFL statistics, or the accuracy of the stats on NFL.com, if he made it on the field, surely the G column for Games would be 1, not zero? The gamebook lists him as "not active". Databasefootball and pro-football-reference are also blank.The-Pope (talk) 16:10, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While I respect Tony’s research and opinion below, I’m going to stick with a “delete” opinion on this one. Normally, the presumption of notability we give athletes under Wikipedia: Notability (sports) would be sufficient for a “weak keep”, but the discovered falsehoods in, and blatantly promotional nature of, this article cause me to be more strict in my evaluation. I’m going to rely on the overarching standards of the WP:GNG, which requires that the person has “received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.” That is clearly not the case here, whether or not he actually played in one NFL game or not. Thus, it is not going to be possible to write a complete encyclopedia article that meets the standards of WP:VERIFY. — Satori Son 17:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ He is a former NFL player. The article needs a lot of work and may need to be chopped down. I do not believe he ever made an NFL reception. Some of the career details are not readily available in most sources. However, according to this some of the extra detail in the article may be true. However, A google search with the following term "Matt Cherry" site:www.baltimoresun.com comes up empty, which is alarming to me. The question is whether kffl.com is a WP:RS. this salary info backs up 2004 roster status.

  - Most sports require you to actually play in the top level league to qualify under WP:NSPORTS. Surely, with the huge team lists (Isn't it 60-80 players?) for NFL teams, that should apply too? The game log said that he is an "not active" player - not even an unused substitute, let alone actually getting on the field. NSPORTS says "Have appeared in at least one game". Are we correct in reading "appeared" as "played on field" not just "suited up and sat on the sideline"? Given the false reception info, I'm getting the WP:DUCK feeling that this is just a big self-promotion of someone who almost made it, but didn't. The-Pope (talk) 15:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I thought he dressed and played special teams or something without making any catches or tackles. Do you have reason to believe he did not suit up for the one game he is credited for?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:32, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the usage in NFL terminology, but common English language usage would indicate that a player listed as "not active" on the official gamebook means that he wasn't actually on the field - or does it mean something else in the NFL? The-Pope (talk) 04:56, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete You are correct. I am changing my vote to delete without prejudice to recreation if there is future evidence from WP:RS of him having played in professional games in either the Canadian Football League or possibly the NFL Europe.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 11:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added a source to article that he was on practice squad only in CFL. Didnt find evidence he ever played. NSPORTS doesnt consider NFL Europe notable. As further reassurance that he probably never played in the NFL, a special teams player like Kassim Osgood has gamelogs listed at pro-football-reference.com even though he didnt catch a pass in those games and usually only played special times. I would expect Cherry to have similar entries if he ever played. —Bagumba (talk) 05:26, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

deleteI think we usually interpret the rule to mean the player must actually appear on the field in a regular season game, not just be present, though I think we've generally consider that even a few minutes is enough (just as it is for a letter on college teams). From the article, he hasn't done what is necessary. DGG ( talk ) 05:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NSPORTS#American football/Canadian football which says player must "Have appeared in at least one game". No evidence he ever played in an NFL/CFL/AFL game. Fails WP:GNG by lacking signficant coverage in multiple independent resources.

Poor notability, no information that is not on husband's page at Derek Parker MakeSense64 (talk) 13:42, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that comparison of the two pages clearly shows that the above statement is fallacious. Derek Parker (talk) 01:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this biography subject is one of the best known contemporary astrologers in the world. The book she co-authored is one of the best selling popular astrology books in the world. She was a President of the Faculty of Astrological Studies, and remains a Patron. She has apeared on TV shows and in mainstream media regularly. She is clearly notable. Zac Δ talk 15:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources?

Even if you find them, point 6 and 7 of the specifics on WP:ACADEMIC make clear that being the head of institutes for pseudoscience or having written widely popular books on pseudoscience, does in itself not satisfy notability criteria. If academics cannot be notable for such pseudoscientific activities, then do we put the bar lower for non-academics? That would discriminate against academics.

So, in this case notability has to come from WP:BIO or WP:GNG. MakeSense64 (talk) 16:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For other publications by Julia Parker, please see note below. Derek Parker (talk) 01:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question 1 - can Zac or someone point out which book is being referred to? Is it this one? I note that its Amazon rank is over 5.5 million which is extremely low. Or am I not looking at things right (such as it being a 1971 book)?--A bit iffy (talk) 16:13, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question 2 - is the "Faculty of Astrological Studies" actually a notable institution? I can't find much beyond circular references, so it is difficult for me to assess.--A bit iffy (talk) 16:13, 28 July 2011 (UTC) The Faculty of Astrological Studies is a teaching body which holds well supervised examinations.[reply]

According to the article the bestseller was this one: [9] , with a pagerank over 800000. A newer version from 1990 seems to be this one [10] , page rank over 1.5 million. MakeSense64 (talk) 16:26, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~In that case, delete. All the article seems to demonstrate is that Julia Parker is a co-author of books with no much impact.~~--A bit iffy (talk) 16:55, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changing my position to unsure. I feel a bit out of my depth here as I feel I don't have enough grasp of the astrology community to gauge whether Julia Parker is sufficiently noteworthy, and I don't have the inclination to try to understand the issues involved.--A bit iffy (talk) 06:15, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The best way to determine notability is whether she meets the general notability guideline. If so, that trumps everything else immediately and is an automatic keep. CycloneGU (talk) 14:32, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A book from 1990 probably achieved its peak well before Amazon came to be - and if Amazon came to be in the 1990s, it wouldn't have peaked during the 2000s. Amazon page rank is thus expected to be quite low as newer books with newer ideas take the forefront. Also, astrology is not as popular in the "Books" category as, say, novels. CycloneGU (talk) 02:06, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should perhaps be pointed out that Julia Parker has also written or co-written books on travel, health, mythology, the theatre, dream interpretation,physiognomy and the architectural history of Sydney. She has also published two novels, both of which have gone into two editions.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Derek Parker (talk • contribs)

Comment - Nominating editor has filed a COI dispute at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#COI on astrology pages that is not going in his favour. Per analysis there, it is being determined that this is a WP:COI-related nomination. He has a wish to remove western astrology articles from Wikipedia as a vendetta against a site that banished him.

Comment My filing a COIN on a couple editors does not make this article (and its subject) any better or worse than it is. Has tags (not by me) for almost a year, and a citation-needed tag since 2007. Other than a list of books she co-authored there is not much in this article. If one of the books sold a million copies in 1970, then that may make the book notable, but does that automatically mean this co-author is also notable? MakeSense64 (talk) 13:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More thoughts etc. The ref http://www.astrologer.com/live/astrologers/parker.htm doesn't work. I assume it's just link rot. However, I can't find any mention of the book on that astrologer.com, and there's only a fleeting mention of Jlia Parker in Google's cache here.

I've not found a single review in a mainstream publication (e.g. New York Times, London Review of Books) on any Julia Parker book on any subject. This suggests non-notability of Julia Parker's writings.

The ISBN doesn't exist as far as I can tell. I have little grasp of ISBNs, so I don't know whether (a) I'm not looking things up correctly, or (b) whether the quoted ISBN is malformed, or (c) whether the book is old. Can someone advise, please?

I see that the 1990 version has an Amazon rank of around 100,000. Along with User:CycloneGU's point about it not being a novel, this suggests some notability for the book. However, I don't think a co-author can just inherit notability.

Re "conflict of interest" assertion and ANI complaint: tl;dr. In a way I suppose these matters aren't relevant to whether Julia Parker merits an article, and I still haven't come across a compelling reason why there should an article on her.

So I'm sticking with my delete recommendation for now. I'm happy though to change my mind (as I have done in past AFD discussions) if the necessary evidence is presented.--A bit iffy (talk) 23:31, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are right that it doesn't matter who nominated the AfD. The article is judged on its own merits. Here is an interesting example of an AfD that got deleted despite being nominated by a banned editor: [11]

MakeSense64 (talk) 07:40, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why you bring this up. Are you saying you are going to be banned or blocked soon? CycloneGU (talk) 13:42, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The page clearly needs editing, citation and expansion. I don't believe using Amazon's 'flavour of the hour' on selected titles is a fair way to judge a best-selling author of at least 31 books published by well known publishers such as Dorling Kindersley (London WC2) over 40 years.

Julia Parker's biography page has been on Wikipedia since 2005.
Paul Kurtz in Skeptical Odysseys, Prometheus Books (2001) p.192 writes "Julia and Derek Parker, The Complete Astrologer (1985), which sold over a million copies in ten languages. The first is a former President of the British Astrological Association" [12] Kurtz is making the point that the Parkers are notable.
Julia Parker is better known of the couple as an astrologer which is confirmed by her presidency of an association established in 1958. While Derek is better known as a broadcaster. Robert Currey talk 12:51, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, Julia Parker's biography page has been on Wikipedia since 2005 is not a reason to keep the article as much as the other two. CycloneGU (talk) 13:42, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the point of co-authorship I should make it clear that I am not an astrologer and indeed have written one book (The Question of Astrology (1971) which includes criticism of the subject; my part as co-author was in the areas of history and social commentary.

Comment - I don't understand the suggestion that there is no online reference - there is plenty. Try this search in Google books: Julia Parker or this Compleat Astrologer or this New Compleat Astrologer. I've added a few references today - there are plenty more to add if someone else has the time and inclination; although I feel every necessary point is now sufficiently demonstrated by independent sources. The guidance on Proposed deletion requests say they should be made on articles that are uncontroversially meeting the criteria for deletion. The only valid reason proposed for this is that there is a failure to meet the notability criteria, but it's a no-brainer that's not the case - this isn't worthy of being called a controversial matter, let alone an uncontroversial one.

To Derek Parker I would request that you complete the missing ISBN numbers for the list of published works. Also, is it possible for you to submit a free-to-reuse and redistribute photograph of Julia Parker on Wikimedia Commons or else a copyright-free illustration of the Compleat Astrologer book cover which could be included in the content of this page? (Or some other graphical element which would add a little more interest to the page?) If you can, please leave a message on my talk page and I'll come back and add the code which shows the photograph/illustraion on this page Zac Δ talk 11:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this article. I can't see there is any reason to tag it for deletion. Parker's list of publications is surely long enough to suggest she is notable. Please see the British Library catalogue for a list of her books held by the library, some with her husband, Derek.

Delete. Deliberately uninformative gobbledygook: The project aims at producing methodologies, methods and tools that enable the massive creation and feasible management of semantic content in order to facilitate the world-wide uptake of semantic technologies. The availability of a critical mass of useful machine-understandable data and the natural limitations of automation in semantic content creation-related tasks are hampering the worldwide uptake of semantic technologies. Technologies and applications are not designed to provide incentives and motivation for users to engage in manually creating semantic content or extending and revising existing one. "Weaving the Semantic Web requires that humans contribute their labor and judgment for creating, extending, and updating formal knowledge structures. Hiding such tasks behind online multiplayer games presents the tasks as fun and intellectually challenging entertainment". Whatever the merits of the underlying project, this kind of writing is not calculated to inform, and as such no amount of editing could fix this. What exactly are they trying to do? Sounds like they want to program a computer to produce Barrens chat. Linguistic performances like this are the typed equivalent of a mountebank's handwaving. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

no, not deliberately unimformative, but merely the normal sort of pr-based writing. It attempts to be informative, after its fashion, though it certainly is non-encyclopedic. "Deliberately uninformative" would mean a deliberate attempt to hide information. Generally such writing can be condensed or rewritten into English. Incorrect style of an article is not an argument for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 03:59, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it means something, maybe somebody can explain it in English in a way that makes it sound worthwhile. What it sounds like to me is that the project involves logging player chat and interactions in an online game in order to create a body of "semantic content". Anybody who has ever experienced global chat channels in online games knows this to be a fool's errand. And Americans think their government wastes money.... Of course, it might be saying something else entirely, but that's because this is indeed written in patent nonsense.

Delete and salt. Sourcing aside, the grammar is atrocious. Moving onto the sources, though, I fail to see how notability is asserted, much less how BAND is met. Playing the Hard Rock Cafe isn't a huge deal; it's a franchise restaurant, not a place like CBGB's. That whole "newspapers" thing is useless, because it has links to the articles for the paper, not the material on the band. The Primerahora link is like three paragraphs, and the Alternorock is two. So five paragraphs on two websites automatically confers notability? what I did do is hunt down their performance history on ReverbNation, which is a platform for bands. They have two shows listed in 8 months, which is even worse when said shows are in 2009 and 2010. They haven't played in almost a year, and no one has listened to their material on their site. In short, this is a very badly written vanity article about a nn band, and there is no reason to recreate this. MSJapan (talk) 06:13, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I checkout WP:NMUSIC and seems that you dont need ALL requiermments.. there are articles (phisicly) not in the net, posters flyers that i can prove and i can show, even more, I know "youtube" is against the rules, but if you checkout the video mentions on the articles, those official videos are there and you can watch, and are promotional videos of their songs.... once again, I am not a member of the band, in a humble way to say, I am a guy from their city and i know a lot how the rock movement that runs in Puerto Rico, take consideratiopn on that.

Unfinished Business: Paul Keating's interrupted revolution

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

Article about barely notable book written by notable man (but not notable author). The article was created just to justify the use of the non-free book-cover already uploaded, once it was contested. Although the book won some award, this article will never be anything past a linkfarm for positive reviews. damiens.rf 04:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nomination concedes that book is notable, but only "barely" in nominator's opinion. Our notability guideline for books says a book can be considered notable if it "has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the book itself. This includes ... reviews." The article includes links to three solid reviews. If the nominator thinks that the reviews were chosen selectively because they are "positive", then perhaps a more neutral and representative range of reviews could be added.

Keep. Agree with Cullen that it meets WP:NBOOKS as it has received multiple in-depth reviews (and possibly also for the award it won).

Keep As I had stated before: In addition to Hails and Horns, I think MTV Networks and Billboard are fairly reputable, and Terrorizer did write about the band, giving a third party opinion in addition to the band being on the CD. I see no reason to delete this article. Many Oarfin Records releases are on Wikipedia, as are many independent releases, including Trent Reznor's recent work. Labels aren't really relevant players in a band's notability anymore. I think this article perfectly satisfies wp:music.BusyWikipedian (talk) 19:05, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I had stated before in reply to your first Wikipedia edit, MTV and Billboard are reputable but they haven't written anything about Elctrikchair. Inclusion on a Terrorizer sampler cd is not significant coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:45, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete With all due respect to the editors wishing to keep this article, the only reason it wasn't deleted last time was because there was virtually no participation. Let's go through the sources on the page, one at a time:

Terrorizer magazine - Appears to be an extreme music magazine with limited circulation. Not an ideal source.
Maris The Great interview - The About Page reads, Who The Fuck is Maris The Great!?] and he also seems to be another artist in extreme music. The source isn't exactly ideal in terms of its independence of the subject.
Metal Archives listing - This is just a discography and listing. This doesn't provide evidence of notability as needed by WP:NMUSIC.
Hails and Horns magazine - Does not appear to be a notable magazine, perhaps of local interest only.
MetalWarrants - Is a deadlink.
Interview with Electrikchair - This is a blog entry, and WP generally doesn't accept blogs as evidence of notability per WP:BLOGS.
IndyFest - This doesn't even mention the band, just one of its members who left.
Billboard and MTV listings - Being listed on Billboard is insufficient. No awards have been given for the album, it has not charted, and it is just a listing on a notable website. That's not significant coverage of the band. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 06:26, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Music Industry News Network - This is a very brief source. I also note that news can be submitted to the website for free, which means the info is probably not independent. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!)

Therefore, because these sources do not fulfill the needed requirements of WP:NMUSIC, I am recommending this article be deleted. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 06:26, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With all do respect from a series of admins that are 16 years old who play Nintendo all day(lol). Using foul language in this debate proving that the children threatening to delete this page is irrelevant. In response [jetherbolt] for one Maris the Great is an international interviewer and obviously you haven't looked at the bands he has killed(which is how he does his interviews) and is published in [Hails and Horns Magazine]. You discredit Hails and Horns when it is an international publication. There are several bands on here who list billboard and mtv as sources and none of them have an article written about them but yet that's ok. Even is a source is breif its still has legitimacy. I noticed this band is targeted I can see that. All the sources listed do meet WP:NMUSIC ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 06:26, 28 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slayer8899 (talk • contribs) [reply]

Comment. Can't give a real vote, as most of the sources are on sites that are blocked from my workplace, but thought I would offer some information anyway. No one is claiming that Elctrikchair is not a real band, or that the information is false in anyway. Nor should it be inferred that they are not notable among heavy metal fans. However, if you look at notability strictly from the position of Wikipedia inclusion, there are guidelines to meet. While MTV and Billboard in themselves are fully notable, being merely listed on those websites does not automatically grant notability to the subject. Having independant third-party write-ups specifically on this band on those websites, however, WOULD grant notability. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the Terrorizer article. However, I do not see why that would not be allowed as a reliable third-party source. It is a publication with a circulation of about 12,000 with a specialty in this genre of music. →^Jog_Con← 22:15, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While I am in favor of keeping this article, I am a bit upset to see juvenile retaliation against those opposed to keeping it. I do want to mention that I have seen Hails and Horns on the shelves at Barnes and Noble. Terrorizer is considered one of the biggest authorities when it comes to extreme genres of music, as JogCon has pointed out it has large circulation. I've personally seen it at Barnes and Noble and it was readily available at Borders. The IndyFest link does in fact use the band's name, which is mentioning it, for that matter mentioning someone leaving a band is still mentioning said band. The link happens to mention the album being released around that time, discusses the genre of the band, and where the band is from, in addition to other details about the band. Maris the Great is a notable figure in extreme music as well, and seeing that he is not a member of the band he is independent of the entity Elctrikchair.BusyWikipedian (talk) 07:56, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article was previously deleted in a bundle here, but has been rewritten with new content. However, the same problems remain: this is an amateur rugby league team for which there's no substantial coverage in independent, reliable sources to establish notability. Most sources are from the team itself, the league it's currently in, or a website owned by the league. The one independent source is a rugby league blog entry covering a tournament they played in; this isn't reliable or substantive coverage.

Keep I agree 100% with Ron Ritzman. Just because someone set up an account using her name does not mean that it is her. We have no rationale as to why she supposedly wants the article deleted - simply edit warring to blank the page. Notability is asserted and there are quite a few references that appear reliable at first glance. I will reconsider if we get a verified request through OTRS. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 02:12, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I am less sympathetic to the idea that biographical subjects have some sort of right to control content than some others at WP. There is nothing remotely defamatory here. THIS PIECE in Jewish Chronicle helps demonstrate that this is an individual worthy of encyclopedic biography. Carrite (talk) 02:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No they don't have any right to control "their" BLPs but there's no harm in letting them have their say and if they are private persons (ie not "A list celebrities") and notability is marginal then I don't think there is a problem in taking their wishes into account in a close AFD. However, for their wishes to carry any weight then we need to be certain that they are who they say they are. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're right that they don't have that kind of control, but that the person asked to have it deleted isn't a good reason to keep it just to prove a point. causa sui (talk) 04:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that it's no reason to haul something to AfD, myself... Carrite (talk) 14:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Further: the entire rationale for this deletion isn't whether this individual is notable, but rather that this biography has been the subject of an edit war by a (now blocked) user sharing the same name as the subject, and we "owe it to them" to run the article through AfD. There is clearly nothing defamatory in the piece, that's where it should have ended — yet this ended up here anyway solely under the principle of WP:SUBJECT(???)DOESNTLIKEIT. This challenge would set a poor precedent, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 14:55, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There does seem to be a lot of info on the net about her, including news stories. Reliable sources should be available, and if sourced, this article would appear to be about a notable individual. As Ron Ritzman points out, we have no evidence that User:Anyaverkhovskaya is in fact the article's subject, and even if she were, her opinion should carry no more weight than that of any other editor. Yunshui (talk) 10:51, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -As Yunshui stated, there is quite a bit of information available. For example, this article Project helps Shoah survivors obtain property compensation By Lynne Kleinman, is an indication that the subject and her work are notable. I believe the AfD and the user User:Anyaverkhovskaya (unlikely the subject) could be a reaction to the recent work of the subject matter listed in the aforementioned link. I personally have worked on this article and have attempted to uphold the WP:BLP & WP:GNG. The article subject matters’ work is political/religious and this article was written to highlight the impact and importance of the subject's work and life. Instead of just attacking the content and layout, perhaps guidance would be more beneficial than merely censorship. --Jmta16 (talk) 16:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brodie Foster Hubbard

AfDs for this article:

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

Does not meet BAND, MUSICIAN, ACTOR, or any specialty criteria, and does not meet GNG either. None of the Phoenix Times coverage available meets the definition of non-trivial. A "going away party" (first source, now at this URL)at a local venue is not a notable event. All of the older coverage is dead. Basically, the sourcing for this article is a whole bunch of little tiny things that he was tangentially involved with, and nothing the subject did himself. Another example is the "Grand Ave. Tonight" source: It's mainly about Kevin Patterson, and Hubbard is his sidekick. It turns out that he was promoted from writer of the show because it was a Ryan Avery vehicle, and was featured in Hi, My Name is Ryan for the same reason. Thus Hubbard's "IMDB credits" are a bit appearance in a documentary in a local context and an online movie. He has only been nominated for a local music award (and has not won), and has not released any of his work commercially. Most of the article sources are dead, most of those that are not are non-RS, and other than that, there's really not much about him at all. Initial AFD in 2006 was likely correct about this being a vanity article. MSJapan (talk) 00:07, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
