Neologism, made up word without general acceptance in any language. WP:MADEUP applies. reddogsix (talk) 23:56, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Delete and redirect to YouTube per P. Rex. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:08, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Delete This article was made to promote several lowly viewed YouTube videos. The FaceBook page for this word that the creator, User:Diablo666Daemon666, states has been gaining members fast, has only three likes. It's safe to assume this is very non-notable. Beerest355 Talk 21:53, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- KEEP, BUT EDIT THE PAGE. The page must be made to be non-opinionated. The creator of the word created the Wikipedia page...but that doesnt give you the right to delete it! I feel that the information Diablo666Daemon666 gave was entirely accurate, but needs to be made to LOOK like fact rather than opinion. I propose an edit of the transcript.
- The word IS popular. Other users of the site ARE using the word. A Wikipedia page will EVENTUALLY be created, as will a page on UrbanDictionary.
- As for the Facebook Page... Well, this page would help its popularity, and that page will help THIS page's popularity. Its a mutual benefit for each to back up the other.
- - Mr I. Rate (Ricardo Oliviera, fan) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.60.153 (talk) 01:40, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Comment: The preceding unsigned comment from IP 87.115.60.153 looks very much like contributions from User:Diablo666Daemon666 at Talk:GoogleTube and elsewhere. Note the use of capital letters and the faux signature as "Mr. I. Rate". Diablo666Daemon666 is the creator of GoogleTube, and is perfectly correct to comment in this AfD. I presume that faux signature and editing without logging in are not intended to deceive anyone. Cnilep (talk) 03:27, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Delete without redirect, non-notable neologism per WP:NEO, with no coverage that I can see in WP:Reliable sources. There's a rather interesting Firefox add-on with this name, but it doesn't seem to be notable enough yet either per WP:GNG. Captain Conundrum (talk) 08:35, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Keep - under the same logic as WP:NHS. Uberaccount (talk) 01:19, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Delete Per the article it provides "..application oriented technical education. It is primarily meant for the benefit of the wards of the employees of Larsen & Toubro and its subsidiary companies." It sounds like a technical training school operated by a manufacturing company rather than what we generally think of as a college, so no "inherent notability for high schools" (which it clearly isn't) or colleges applies. Not every institute which calls itself a college really is one. Adequate references to establish notability have not been thus far identified. Edison (talk) 04:25, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Delete as per Edison. I don't believe NHS applies here, as it is a technical school with a very narrow focus. That said, would a redirect to the parent corporation be in order? UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 18:11, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Redirect to Theory of computation #History; no other actions needed. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:29, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Redirect The topic History of theory of computation is certainly notable, but the current article is an unsourced personal essay; it is best to start over, per WP:TNT. Until a better new article is created, the topic is a reasonable search term and a redirect would be useful to users. Theory of computation #History is a logical target, but the section is unfortunately a few unsourced sentences at this point. History of computer science is a broader topic, but the article has a good bit on the pioneers of the theory of computation and is better sourced. Either target is acceptable, but I'd prefer a redirect to History of computer science. --Mark viking (talk) 10:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

The result was redirect to Abkhazia. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:30, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
- Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Apparent WP:POVFORK of Abkhazia. The Republic of Abkhazia redirect has been protected since 2008 to prevent this. The last version before the redirect is this, which was a lot longer but has essentially the same basic information. The author seems to have created the article in response to the proposed deletion of a template. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Redirect to Abkhazia. Yeah, it's a POV fork, but it's also a likely search term. Plus, the protection of the other redirect, as opposed to deletion, tends to show that this is useful. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 20:54, 5 June 2013 (UTC) Edit: I also support redirecting Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia 168.12.253.66 (talk) 18:38, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Comment It is a plausible redirect of course, which I attempted to turn it into. However the protection is quite old, the author could not really explain his rationale and I felt this merited a discussion. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Comment - Appears to be a broken redirect as of my clicking. We should just fix the redirect then. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 22:42, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Redirect, and redirect Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia too. These articles are redundant to Abkhazia (epically it's lead, "International status" and "Government and administration" sections). Weather Abkhazia is an independent country (the "Republic of Abkhazia") or a part of Georgia (the "Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia") is disputed, but the main article covers both the dispute, and covers both the ROA and the AROA. The AROA history section is at best redundant to the main article's History section, and is at worst a POV fork.
- I agree with the creator that Abkhazia's infobox is a neutrality problem in it's current state, but the solution is to fix the infobox, not to create this article. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:09, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Comment Adding Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia to nomination. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:11, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Keep both articles, per Kosovo and China split system, that was the best posible solution for neutrality and encyclopedic expension of those topics. Two conflicting political entities should not be in one article. And all political matter should be removed from main article, Abkhazia. --WhiteWriterspeaks 10:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- China is not in a split system any longer. CMD (talk) 10:53, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Redirect both to Abkhazia as forks. --BDD (talk) 17:35, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Redirect The Republic of Abkhazia to Abkhazia, per the Republic of Abkhazia redirect. Redirect Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia to Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, as this will likely be much more related to any use of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia wikilink.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is not an ambiguous topic; this is merely a list of installments in different media of works within a single franchise, the franchise as a whole being thoroughly discussed at Resident Evil. There is nothing on this page that is not already listed and linked there. Why have a disambiguation page that is completely redundant to material properly listed in an existing article? bd2412 T 19:26, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Disambiguations-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 01:17, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Keep. The title is ambiguous (there are two video games, a film, and a soundtrack with the title). Not all redundancy is bad redundancy. This page is also the target of the {{R from incomplete disambiguation}} Resident Evil (video game), which should be maintained. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- That redirect - which only addresses two title matches, and could be dealt with by a hatnote - also has dozens of incoming links, and is likely to keep drawing them. I hope that if you intend to maintain the redirect, you will fix all of those incoming links. bd2412 T 11:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- I have no idea on what you might base that hope. Improvements to Wikipedia do not carry the burdens you're assuming. Incoming links to that redirect should be fixed regardless of where it lands. If it lands at a disambiguation page (which it should), there are mechanisms to identify and highlight that problem. If it lands at Resident Evil, it will be harder to identify the links that should be improved. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:28, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- If it lands at Resident Evil, there is no need to improve any links because the reader will have found the subject of the link - a media franchise that happens to derive from a video game (and include a later version of the same game). There is no ambiguity there at all, any more than Coca-Cola is ambiguous because someone might be drinking a New Coke or a Coke Classic. Having a link to a disambiguation page is misleading, because it suggests that the terms are unrelated. We have plenty of terms that are genuinely ambiguous, with multiple wholly unrelated meanings, without needing to invent ambiguity for media franchise names. bd2412 T 13:07, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- If there's no ambiguity at the title "Resident Evil", then there are no articles at titles of the qualified form "Resident Evil (qualifier)". There are articles at titles of the qualified form "Resident Evil (qualifier)". Therefore, there's ambiguity at "Resident Evil". QED. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- That is merely an artifact of how we use qualifiers for media titles. We have articles on Early life of Marilyn Monroe and Death of Marilyn Monroe. If our convention was to title those Marilyn Monroe (early life) and Marilyn Monroe (death), we would know right away that, irrespective of qualifiers, these were not really ambiguous topics because they are all covered in the main article, Marilyn Monroe. With Resident Evil (disambiguation), we have only titles that are covered in Resident Evil. Resident Evil (video game) could just as usefully redirect to Resident Evil, or to a section in Resident Evil listing the video games (the only reason there is no such section now is because the article itself presumes the reader is thinking of the video games and lists everything else as "Additional media"). To have a redirect to a disambiguation page when a redirect to the franchise article itself is an option is like putting a stop sign on a freeway. bd2412 T 13:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- It's an artifact of how we title topics that would have the same title, yes. We call that "disambiguation". It is not "merely" an artifact. A hypothetical way we could have screwed up the naming convention for topics (such as Marilyn Monroe's early life and Mailyn Monroe's death) that shouldn't have the same title is irrelevant to the way we disambiguate topics for an ambiguous title. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- It's still like putting a stop sign on a freeway. Disambiguation pages are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. How is the reader served by this duplication? Is it any better to redirect Resident Evil (video game) to a disambiguation page than to Resident Evil#History, which discusses all of the Resident Evil video games? bd2412 T 15:50, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- It's also not like putting a stop sign on a freeway. The "freeway traffic" here will be unimpeded by a hatnote linking a disambiguation page. It's like putting a green navigational sign for side destinations on a freeway. The reader seeking the 2002 video game (for example) is served by a predictable hatnote leading to a predictable disambiguation page, rather than having to parse the article for the link. Yes, Resident Evil (video game) should go to the dab for video games that might be referred to as just "Resident Evil", while List of Resident Evil video games (or the less well named Resident Evil list of games) would be better targeted to Resident Evil#History. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- I would suggest that a person looking up Resident Evil (video game) is as likely to be interested in the whole body of Resident Evil video game franchise as in any one particular video game, and would therefore be best served by being taken to the article that sums up that body of work. I would further point out that to the extent that we are talking about video games named "Resident Evil", there are only two, which would typically make for a WP:TWODABS situation resolvable with a redirect to one and a hatnote to the other. Why should a person who types in "Resident Evil (video game)" be taken to a page where he or she is told, you may mean the film or the soundtrack? bd2412 T 16:52, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- I would suggest that the disambiguation page disambiguates more than two topics sharing an ambiguous title, and there is no reason to delete it. The rest of your questions miss that point. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:58, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- The link load to this page comes from the "(video game)" redirect, but all of the meanings on the disambiguation page are covered by the Resident Evil page - in fact, both the 1996 video game and the film are in a hatnote on that page. I find it highly doubtful that anyone would be looking for the soundtrack to the film under the unqualified title of the franchise, so I still see no reason to have a disambiguation page separate from the article that already covers all of those topics. bd2412 T 17:10, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- A particular link load is not required for a disambiguation page. When a disambiguation page is needed: there are two or more non-primary topics for an ambiguous title. Does this title meet that? Y. -- JHunterJ (talk) 20:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

A hypothetical way we could have screwed up the naming convention for topics (such as Marilyn Monroe's early life and Mailyn Monroe's death) that shouldn't have the same title is irrelevant to the way we disambiguate topics for an ambiguous title. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- That is merely an artifact of how we use qualifiers for media titles. We have articles on Early life of Marilyn Monroe and Death of Marilyn Monroe. If our convention was to title those Marilyn Monroe (early life) and Marilyn Monroe (death), we would know right away that, irrespective of qualifiers, these were not really ambiguous topics because they are all covered in the main article, Marilyn Monroe. With Resident Evil (disambiguation), we have only titles that are covered in Resident Evil. Resident Evil (video game) could just as usefully redirect to Resident Evil, or to a section in Resident Evil listing the video games (the only reason there is no such section now is because the article itself presumes the reader is thinking of the video games and lists everything else as "Additional media"). To have a redirect to a disambiguation page when a redirect to the franchise article itself is an option is like putting a stop sign on a freeway. bd2412 T 13:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- If there's no ambiguity at the title "Resident Evil", then there are no articles at titles of the qualified form "Resident Evil (qualifier)". There are articles at titles of the qualified form "Resident Evil (qualifier)". Therefore, there's ambiguity at "Resident Evil". QED. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- If it lands at Resident Evil, there is no need to improve any links because the reader will have found the subject of the link - a media franchise that happens to derive from a video game (and include a later version of the same game). There is no ambiguity there at all, any more than Coca-Cola is ambiguous because someone might be drinking a New Coke or a Coke Classic. Having a link to a disambiguation page is misleading, because it suggests that the terms are unrelated. We have plenty of terms that are genuinely ambiguous, with multiple wholly unrelated meanings, without needing to invent ambiguity for media franchise names. bd2412 T 13:07, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- I have no idea on what you might base that hope. Improvements to Wikipedia do not carry the burdens you're assuming. Incoming links to that redirect should be fixed regardless of where it lands. If it lands at a disambiguation page (which it should), there are mechanisms to identify and highlight that problem. If it lands at Resident Evil, it will be harder to identify the links that should be improved. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:28, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- That redirect - which only addresses two title matches, and could be dealt with by a hatnote - also has dozens of incoming links, and is likely to keep drawing them. I hope that if you intend to maintain the redirect, you will fix all of those incoming links. bd2412 T 11:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Keep - There are actual different topics (admittedly related) but all bearing teh name "Resident Evil" so this disambig page serves the purpose to distinguish between them. -- Whpq (talk) 16:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- What of it? I would just point to the disambig page, but that's an editorial decision. And the disambig page contains more links than the hatnote. -- Whpq (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Well, let's compare them. Resident Evil has three links in a hatnote, including a link to the disambiguation page. The disambiguation page links to Resident Evil (which, of course, would be unnecessary on the Resident Evil page); two video games (both discussed in Resident Evil, with one linked in the hatnote); the film (also linked in the hatnote); the film series (also discussed at Resident Evil, and which really should not be referred to as "Resident Evil" in the singular), and the film soundtrack. As I mentioned to JHunterJ above, no one is going to look for the soundtrack under the name, "Resident Evil"; but even if they did it is already discussed at Resident Evil. If we got rid of the disambiguation page and replaced it in the hatnote with a link to the 2002 video game, then the hatnote alone would contain everything that a reader could reasonably be looking for on a disambiguation page. bd2412 T 18:50, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- I've read the huge long discussion above, and I disagree with deleting the disambiguation page. It very clearly meets the criteria for what a disambiguation page is used for, and I don't see removing it as an improvement. -- Whpq (talk) 18:58, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Comment I have come to understand that many organizations in India (and perhaps elsewhere, but India seems to be relatively rife with this) hand out (or in many cases, sell) awards simply for the purpose of bolstering one's resume. The similarity of this award's name to the more notable government-granted award leads me to question the motives of the award-granting organization, and hence to question the notability of the award itself.

Concerns about notability were original raised at WT:FOOTBALL and I am bringing this here for wider discussion.

- Comment - Peculiar comment Peejay. Why bring racism up? I would think Wikipedia prides itself in being one of the most neutral platforms around and that the founders would be most disappointed with anyone manipulating or trying to control an article as a means to attack or supress an individual. I have read no such expert claims, just someone reporting on their experiences within the industry many years ago. If someone as 'notable' as Chantelle Houghton is on wikipedia, then of course an individual such as Mr. Ali with an actual career and who has a unique position to raise awareness on contentious issues should be documented, for it's in the public interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sxu02msg (talk • contribs) 11:48, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[]

- No, because PeeJay and I have worked together at Wikipedia for a good number of years and we think along similar lines.

Please also sign your comments using ~~~~ GiantSnowman 15:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[]

Delete- On reading this it is impossible to tell via reliable sources just why Ali is notable in Wiki terms. Lots of smoke and mirrors but no substance. Was he a player at a notable level? No, he trialled for many clubs and played with Ray Parlour etc but never played pro football. Is he a coach at anything other than youth level? Not that I can see referenced. Even the reference given in the lead shows only a list of articles from a Chinese website. I have no doubt he has been in and around football for many years. He seems to be known by the owners of Blackburn Rovers and has had his photo taken with people within football. Yes he has had a career in football but at a very low level for inclusion on Wiki.

Unfortunately no one is saying why the avaible sources do or don't meet WP:GNG making it impossible to determine which argument is stronger.

- Seeing that a film was made about the topic (even if "in part") and observing the presence of 14 additional references in the article, closes the case for me without proceeding to look for sources on Google and Google news. The concerns of the nomination that the article is promotional I'm not seeing, but there are "Promotional?" inline tags available. The concern about veracity of claims can be addressed with Template:fact tags. The second sentence of the article is a sentence fragment, and there are other quality issues here. The assertion in the nomination about what the article creator "seems" to be doing is an ad hominem and should not be a part of this discussion. Unscintillating (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Without evidence to the contrary, we assume as per WP:AGF that topics are notable. The second point you haven't addressed is that the film itself is a second source. As per the nutshell of WP:N, the "world at large" has given attention to the topic. Since films, like books, are enduring, the film also represents attention "over a period of time". Is your minimum standard for WP:GNG higher than having one's life story covered in part in a film? Unscintillating (talk) 21:41, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Merge to List of type designers. Per WP:LISTN, list-based articles are a perfectly fine class of article and can provide useful annotations to the list entries that categories cannot. While List of freeware type designers is a fine topic in principle, Colapeninsula is correct--there are few or no type designers of any note that don't also produce fonts for sale as well. It would be best to merge this list into the more general List of type designers.

Non-encyclopedic and unsourced (and where sources are given they do not support the text) MrStoofer (talk) 14:57, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- My vote is strongly Delete:
1. The article is factually wrong that "Yid Army" is the name of a group of hooligans. It is a name that Spurs supporters call themselves.
2. The source given for the claim that "The Yids is the name of a football hooligan firm associated with English football club Tottenham Hotspur" (here) says no such thing. It does refer to supporters of Tottenham Hotspur as "Yid Army" (not "Yids") and more importantly does not support the claim that the term refers to hooligans rather than supporters generally.
3. All the rest of the claims on the page are unsourced and unsupported (e.g. the claim of membership of 250+ or the claims about enthinicity).
I strongly suspect that this is page was simply self aggrandizement. MrStoofer (talk) 14:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Keep: I am the original editor of the article. Brian Whitlock is notable The article has multiple reliable sources from reputable news organizations. Brian Whitlock was convicted and is to be sentenced on June 12th for animal cruelty. The cruelty inflicted on his dog was severe and caused the death of the animal. The general public became outraged causing several protests by animal rights groups. The animal cruelty incident and the protests received significant coverage in the media. This makes Brian Whitlock notable, the animal cruelty incident notable, the protests Whitlock caused notable and the media coverage notable. This article should not be deleted. IQ125 (talk) 14:24, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Keep The case is notable because it got 130,000 people to sign a petition. And the politicians might see this and decide to pass harsher sentences, although just having that many people sign a petition over something makes it clearly a notable event. Dream Focus 14:59, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- 130,000 people isn't that many. Two percent of the BC population. That's even assuming it was a real physical petition circulated only among BC residents and not a bunch of anonymous Internet petition sites, whose numbers would be entirely gameable and therefore suspect. I googled "brian whitlock" petition and only found a bunch of online petitions. Is there a source that says this was a verifiable physical pen-and-paper petition?

- Delete The newspaper articles are primarily about the crime not about the person Brian Whitlock. Anyway People known only in connection with one event should generally not have an article written about them. If the event is notable, then an article usually should be written about the event instead. and In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual.

Wikipedia isn't here to put the world to rights, and such criminal acts are rarely notable enough to merit an article concerning the perpetrator. I can see no evidence that this event has any enduring notability, and without this, the article simply can't be justified. To be specific, Wikipedia policy regarding biographies of living persons states that "Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article" and that "The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources", and on those grounds, the article should be deleted.

- Keep. Chester are an uprising team are in the 'cut-off' point next year. A.F.C. Wimbledon have their own seasons pages from their earlier years as well as F.C. United of Manchester who are two leagues below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.124.227.21 (talk) 01:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC) — 2.124.227.21 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Per WP:WAX, saying that other teams have this kind of article is not a valid argument. In fact, you've just pointed out another set of articles that should probably be deleted. Thanks. That is, unless anyone can provide a good reason why AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester should have season articles... – PeeJay 02:48, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- AFC Wimbledon obviously now play in the Football League, so it is arguable that they should have articles on their pre-FL seasons to give a "complete picture", in the same way that we have things like 1883–84 Black Arabs F.C. season and 1883–84 Newton Heath LYR F.C. season....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:37, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- That's a good point. What about FC United of Manchester though? I hope we're not making them a "special case". – PeeJay 12:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- What about post-FL? Stockport County are about to go into the same league Chester have just come out of. But they are clearly still considered a big club, will they be notable enough for a seasons article? They've been having season articles for the last 5 years and i'd imagine someone will create on for the following season. Do we try and go for a 'complete picture' with any club that has played in the FL, no matter how far they've dropped?Narom (talk) 19:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- No one above has said anything about the sources being inadequate. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the article itself, it's just that the subject is not notable. – PeeJay 02:48, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Keep. The "complete picture" argument is compelling enough that an arbitrary cut-off point is silly. It has been discussed many times before and no consensus has ever been reached that such a point exists or is indeed useful. Owain (talk) 13:25, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- A complete picture of what, in Chester's case? The current Chester FC has never played at a notable level, so why are we making season articles for them? It makes sense in the case of Manchester United (Newton Heath LYR), and even in the case of Bristol Rovers (Black Arabs), but the three articles we have on Chester present the sum total of their history, which has never taken them above the fifth tier of English football, and that only happened last month. Maybe if Chester make it to the Football League, then there would a "complete picture" to fill in, but to assume that they will any time soon would be crystal-balling. – PeeJay 14:21, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- A complete picture of senior football in Chester. It is not a simple matter of saying "this particular incarnation of the senior team hasn't played at a high enough level". Arbitrary rules should not be applied directly without looking at, for want of a better phrase, the "bigger picture". Owain (talk) 14:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- But it is a matter of saying that. Chester City FC and Chester FC (2010) are not the same team and their histories are not contiguous. The history of football in a particular city is irrelevant. There is no bigger picture. I wouldn't say that we should make season articles for Manchester FC just because Manchester United and Manchester City had played in the Premier League because Manchester FC never played at a high enough level. That's just silly. – PeeJay 14:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- "The history of football in a particular city is irrelevant" in your opinion. Your Manchester straw-man argument is clearly irrelevant as we are talking about a single representative team here, not one of many. Owain (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Actually we're not just talking about one team because you made the discussion about more than one team. Chester has had several teams in its past (see here), and not one of them is particularly "representative" of the city, since they've all had players who come from all over the place. I hope you're not seriously suggesting that we create season articles for teams like Chester Nomads and Chester St Oswald's, because they certainly haven't played at a high enough level, and neither has Chester FC. – PeeJay 15:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Delete This is a useful parsing library that unfortunately has not gotten a lot of independent coverage. There is a technical report from U. Paderborn that has in-depth coverage of muparser and is independent of the creator, but it is the only in-depth independent source I could find. Unless more RSes are found, the topic falls below the threshold for general notability guidelines, per WP:GNG.

Article subject fails WP:GNG and has no sources cited. A quick online search found no English language secondary or tertiary sources meeting WP:RS Ad Orientem (talk) 06:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Speedy keep/close - absolutely not the nominators fault but this is actually just a poorly translated article about one of the largest basilica-style churches in Vienna. It's also the central church for the diocese and would still be a historical building, built more than 100 years ago, if it wasn't and so likely passes our guidelines on that basis alone. The article wasn't clear at all and I had to do some digging but I've added an image to the article so you can see what I mean and there is an extensive commonscat for the church itself. Using one of the 4-5 alternate names there are many sources. The nominator might consider withdrawing this? Stalwart111 07:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Maybe I will happily withdraw AfD nom if actual notability is established. I am not sure that age translates into notability. Also we really need at least one source. I'm still not seeing notability but its fairly late here and my eyes are starting to cross. I will look at this again tomorrow. It sounds like we should be able to find something to save the article based on what you are saying. -Ad Orientem (talk) 07:51, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

I've also discovered the building itself is listed as a significant monument on Austria's Denkmalgeschütztes Objekt (4944, consensus generally being that monuments of national cultural significance are notable).

Article was nominated on 2 June 2013 (3 days ago), was speedy deleted and the previous AFD was procedurally closed. The original author has recreated the article suggesting there are better/more sources than the original. I disagreed, tagged it for G4 speedy deletion but that doesn't seem fair under the circumstances. Best to let a proper AFD run its course. For the record, I don't think the company in question meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Stalwart111 05:55, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

The press has established connections with Powell's Bookstore, a hugely notable entity. I have reviewed other Wiki entries in the small press category and I fail to see what differs in this one that warrants exclusion. The history is factual, the bibliography verified (12 titles by 7 authors). I am more than happy to amend any text found irrelevant or offensive; please identify. Thank you for your consideration! Editress13 (talk) 15:42, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- This really isn't a case where editing the article will help. It doesn't come anywhere close to passing our notability guidelines for corporations and that doesn't look likely to change anytime soon. If by some bizarre miracle the article is kept (and we're talking probability levels right up there with Godzilla getting hit by lightning, winning the lottery, and flying to the moon all on the same day), then it would have to be done by someone without a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not a venue for advertising. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:15, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Delete - Fails GNG. To the content creator: you'll need to muster a few published sources about the press... Get something from the Oregonian and Willamette Week etc. about the press, and then things should be good to go. This has been through the deletion process twice now, so things will be closely watched. The rule of thumb is that three such sources are a pretty certain pass — WP defines "notability" as multiple, independently-published, substantial pieces of coverage about the subject in so-called "reliable sources." Sometimes two such pieces will fly. I'm not seeing anything that counts to GNG in the footnotes or in a cursory Google search, sadly. Don't feel bad, just see to it that when such sources appear they are mined appropriately for the third attempt at a WP piece. best regards, —Tim Davenport, Corvallis /// Carrite (talk) 04:28, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- No SALT - As per discussion on the author's talk page User talk:Editress13. The page was only recreated because it was a "speedy delete" and did not get a chance to pass/fail AfD. I ask the admin if this fails (which it looks like it will) to please view our discussion and to consider this request as this is not a typical SPAMMER just someone new to wiki. The author will only recreate the article in the future if and when it passes wiki nobility. Tyros1972 Talk 13:15, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Absolutely not. Their only contribution to Wikipedia is this one, spammy article, which they re-created almost immediately after it was deleted as an advertisement. That's pretty much the definition of a Wikipedia spammer. Whether they did it with a heart full of malice or not isn't our place to speculate and would be pointless anyway. The article isn't coming back until someone without a conflict of interest can prove a case at DRV that the subject is significantly more notable & verifiable than it is currently. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:10, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Actually, no, even if this is salted a person with a Conflict of Interest can recreate the piece if they declare their COI. The road back doesn't necessarily go through Deletion Review, it just needs one administrator to sign off on the piece (See; WP:SALT). What it is going to need are multiple, published, independent sources. If two or three of those appear down the road (as they might), it is a whole new ballgame. I do not advocate salting here, by the way, per Tyros1972 above. Carrite (talk) 20:56, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[]

I am conflicted on this article. It may meet WP:N, though the article seems to be basically an advertisement WP:ARTSPAM. Assuming the article is accurate, they might well provide a service that could be a basis for notability in secondary sources. The main problem is that the sources that are in English don't seem to meet WP:RS and I don't read what I believe is Dutch. So I am throwing this out to the AfD community for discussion.

- Delete The use of sources in foreign languages is certainly not forbidden, as per WP:NONENG. That's not of my concern. I'd like to know the reasons why the editor that re-created this article did so and also why the subject is notable. It seems to me that both WP:NCORP and WP:NRVE (where verifibaility is required for the subject of an article to be notable) fail here: there are 35 hits for "hi-jet" at Flightglobal, yet neither of these seem to be related to the subject in question. The user who re-created this article should have taken these guidelines in mind, both for this particular article and for future articles s(he) intends to start.

schools may be notable, but this org doesnt have anything about it. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
- Keep. See the coverage listed on the "Summit in the News" tab at http://www.summitps.org/ I have not seen the film Waiting for "Superman", but apparently there are references to the organization or its schools in it. http://www.avnetwork.com/entry/will-education-technology-finally-live-up-to-its-potential/755 offers some coverage of the organization towards the end of the article. I think that much of the coverage of the schools is implicitly coverage of the organization and its doctrines. I would argue that charter school operators are automatically notable on the same basis that high schools are: that is, that reliable sources about them must exist, even if they are hard to find.

It will certainly be the subject of numerous public records and documents, hearings, and so forth, that would provide a lot of resources, and likely significant media coverage as well. --Lquilter (talk) 17:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]

Appears to be a non-notable band, failing WP:GNG and WP:BAND. All of the sources in the article are either local, or primary, and only one of the external links doesn't fall into that category - but it is also a relatively small circulation paper. The article itself is highly promotional, and there's no evidence of any charting for their albums, they only have one semi-notable band member, and they don't appear to have been signed to any major label. There are a few unreliable sources on Google, but that's about it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:19, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[]

- Toledo Blade is a local source, as to whether the others (ignoring AllMusic, which is reliable, but then they review most albums) are reliable, I'll leave that to others. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:15, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[]
- You've packed a lot of vague, unclear & unsupported thinking into such a short comment there. The Blade is a reliable source with a large circulation: its article is clearly a valid indication of notability. Do you share that view or not? At AllMusic they either review or don't "based on factors such as current popularity, historical or artistic importance, and the needs of [their] data licensees" [12]. The idea that they cover "most" albums presumably came to you in a dream [13]; since you accept AllMusic as a source in any case, don't waste our time seeking to undermine it with unsupported impressions. Are you unequipped to evaluate (as i did) the reliability of the other sources, or just busy post-nomination? I encourage you to be more focussed and to seek evidence to support or inform your views. This kind of critical thinking is essential for any encyclopedist. 86.42.94.218 (talk) 22:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[]
- Toledo is in Michigan. The band is from Michigan. It may be a "bigger" local paper, but it's still a local paper. My AllMusic comment is based on comments by other editors in the past, and my own experiences. Quoting what they say about their reviews process doesn't help anyone - I could write down any old waffle as my "process". And what the hell is with the rest of your comment? I have over 5000 edits, so I have some idea of guidelines. That said, you have picked out the list of music RS I was looking for, but was looking for in the wrong place, so thank you.

- Weak delete or Redirect to Fort Worth, Texas; subject of this AfD has received multiple passing mentions in non-primary reliable sources, and it can be argued that those mentions may add up to significant coverage of the subject, especially the coverage of the subject during the election/re-election periods. That being said the subject is not considered automatically notable per WP:POLITICIAN, and what coverage that I have seen is lean and outside of the election coverage the brief mentions maybe considered routine given the individuals elected position as a city councilmember of a major American city. Therefore, I am leaning towards deletion; or a redirect to the article of the city.

Completing nomination for Rpundurs, whose rationale was posted at the article's talk page and is included verbatim below. On the merits, I make no recommendation. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[]
Thank you UltraExact; a more thorough explanation of my position: At the time of the previous deletion discussion, Berardinelli was just barely hovering on the edge of notability. He was a self-published amateur to whom actual notables had made the occasional reference, and there was a possibility that in the years that were to come he would improve his CV and become a legitimate notable on his own merit. However, since then, there have been no meaningful changes to his article - no new sources of information concerning him from third parties, no participation in significant events, etc. What we have now is a guy who could have become unquestionably notable, but is in fact still just as small-time as he was last time this page came up for deletion. Since Wikipedia is not an Internet Yellow Pages for little fish bloggers, I recommend Beradinelli get the boot. Rpundurs (talk) 16:22, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[]

The current Wikipedia page is poorly written and only draws from his own sources, as I mentioned before, which can make him look less important.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 20:25, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Keep Roger Ebert, the world’s most prominent film critic, spoke very highly of Berardinelli, referred to him as “the best of the web-based critics” [14], wrote a foreword for his book [15], and constantly promoted him whenever possible. We have plenty of articles for far less notable critics, including James Rolfe, Doug Walker, and Noah Antwiler. If Rolfe, Walker, and Antwiler get their own pages, then Berardinelli is also worthy of 1.

- Rpundurs, what I mean by quoting of Berardinelli is that his reviews are cited in works like Veiled Desires: Intimate Portrayals of Nuns in Postwar Anglo-American Film (2013). I believe that these frequent attributions warrant a Wikipedia article so people can look him up. I dug deeper, though, and found a couple of more profile-type references: 1.) Rickey, Carrie (July 30, 2000). "They're film geeks, because 'freak' is just too weak". The Philadelphia Inquirer. (which covers both Berardinelli and Ralph Hirshorn) and 2.) Cooper, Clint (November 23, 2004). "Reelviews.net film critic speaks at McCallie School". Chattanooga Times Free Press.. To go back to the frequent attributions, these are results of Berardinelli being referenced in numerous books in 2012 alone. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:02, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[]

- Keep for the same WP:BASIC reasons Erik just listed and because Rpundurs seems to be allowing his/her own feelings about this "non-notable joker" affect his/her objectivity. I've edited numerous articles to include Berardinelli's reviews, not because I'm an advocate using "Wiki as an advert for his site", but because he is a Rotten Tomatoes designated Top Critic with an expansive (and literate) range of reviews that are often helpful when covering obscure titles.Jg2904 (talk) 23:09, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[]

The references listed are either trivial or first-party. I can't find any other coverage via the internet to evidence notability. ThemFromSpace 17:22, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[]
- Delete per WP:BIO, yet another guy who blogs about SEO, with no significant coverage online from WP:RS. Captain Conundrum (talk) 17:25, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[]
Dan Petrovic is not a small name in search industry is like Barry Schwartz (technologist). He is also a well known in research of facts about search engines.

- keep there are plenty of references to Petrovic from reliable sources - you can find them in the references. Search Engine Land, Search Engine Journal and SEOmoz are all top search engine optimisation blogs, and there are quite a few mentions on other authoritative sites. 130.180.253.158 (talk) 08:10, 11 June 2013 (UTC) — 130.180.253.158 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

This was first a speedy, then I thought it might be best to AfD it with further community input. May fail WP:GNG. SarahStierch (talk) 00:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[]
