- This article is commensurate in length and content with most of the articles in its category (List of youth orchestras in the United States), yet it is the only one of the couple dozen selected at random nominated for deletion. In that many others in this category are much thinner and were not targeted for deletion first, and it matches style and length of the category. Therefore, this AfD should be rejected.--DeknMike (talk) 01:57, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Delete - The existence of other articles is not relevant to this discussion. The sourcing in this article is either primary sources, or ones which would not be deemed a reliable source. A search for significant coverage about this youth orchestra does not turn up any coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 13:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- I only brought it up because new user (or sock puppet) Iairsometimes picked the only orchestra on the list I had contributed to - and no others - after attempting to delete several other articles I edited on. Looks like a personal attack.--DeknMike (talk) 17:43, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- If the nominator is stalking your edits and articles, you may want to look into some administrator intervention. That sort of behaviour is not acceptable. -- Whpq (talk) 17:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- Merge to Church planting. The term seems common enough, and there seems to be some good references, but Church planting is definitely the topic to which it belongs. StAnselm (talk) 02:03, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep. The article on Church planting is as a general overview of the process of starting new churches by various methods. The Church Planting Movement article is an expansion with detail of an emerging trend and method which is sufficiently different from other church planting approaches. Merging this article within the church planting main article risks overwhelming the rest of that article. Note it is not, as some who commented on the page have suggested, a marketing approach by the Southern Baptists, but rather a multinational movement which began in several indigenous denominations and has propagated through the various missions communities, including the Baptists.--DeknMike (talk) 12:42, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
(edit conflict)*Time out: The reasoning here is that this article is a fork of church planting, but an admin just redirected church planting to church planting movement[1]. Now, deleting this article also delete the article you are saying it is a fork of. If that redirect is going to stay, then the delete reasons hold no weight. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:23, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Correction, Niteshift: I redirected that simply as a bold editor. I am sitting in the kitchen, not wearing my tin-foil admin hat. Anyway, it's already been undone, and I guess the D of the BRD cycle is happening here and on my talk. Drmies (talk) 20:16, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- I'm not starting a conspiracy theory, just pointing out what is going on for those who might not have been looking at the other article. And I Started putting this here before you commented (hence the edit conflict). Niteshift36 (talk) 22:18, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- I know: I'm just indicating to other editors (less seasoned than yourself) that there are no special powers or privileges involved in my redirect, just to make sure. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep. That's funny: I just redirect Church planting to this article, and then I saw that this was nominated for deletion, by someone who failed to provide much of a reason (well, the errors of youth). Anyway, Church planting is a terrible article: seriously, it's awful, full of advice and without any kind of a reliable source. Deknmike, above, argues that this is the more general term, as does Anselm, but I disagree: I don't think church planting is a concept at all outside of the movement (Protestant, esp. Southern Baptist) of church planting--that is, the Church Planting Movement. (I could go on, but that's for another discussion, possibly a merge discussion if my redirect is removed.) The CPM article, as it stands, is not great, but it's notable enough, even if most of the literature I dug up isn't exactly of the highest neutrality. See the Don Fanning article, for instance--hardly neutral, but very insightful, and indicative of the importance given tot his kind of mission in certain congregations. Drmies (talk) 19:20, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep (both). Yes there is work to do, but that work can be done. The books are all in a booklist on the page! Church Planting Movement is the pet project of one small part of the church planting world. Some who have tried to implement it have found, to their cost, that it is a modernist construct without any track record. The point here, is that these are not identical ideas. Hyper3 (talk) 19:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- The books in those list don't qualify as academic or otherwise notable and independent publications that discuss the topic. Rather they are (or were) manuals published by various churches. But that's beside the point--I find it sad that such work wasn't done for these articles, at least not from the point of view of improving the encyclopedia. Drmies (talk) 20:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Some, you are right, but not all by any means. Hyper3 (talk) 09:08, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Certainly the Church of England 2004 report 'Mission-shaped church' (subtitled church planting and fresh expressions of church in a changing context) cannot be so lightly dismissed. It would easily meet the WP notability requirement in its own right and has been endlessly quoted and built upon. The expression church planting is widely used by people who would not all identify with a Church Planting Movement. This does look very much like a POV fork to me and if it is to survive as a separate article it would need to place the CPM within the context of church planting and explain what made it a distinct movement within that. Otherwise it just looks like an attempt to claim exclusive possession of a common term. A sadly familiar situation for Christians. --AJHingston (talk) 09:38, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- The problem, as I see it, is that the one term is general and vague and points more at the dictionary than anything else; the other (the topic of this AfD) is a specific name for a kind of strategy. "Church planting" as a concept is simply not precise enough to build a definition/article with: it is an aspect of missionary strategy. I have tried to make that article more precise, but at some point it just seems like these are just two words put together. BTW, you are welcom to restore links, preferably on an individual basis with an explanation. But these articles cannot be hijacked and used as repositories for propaganda material. Drmies (talk) 20:51, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Its like the difference between talking about the nature of a cow and the needs of a herd: the planting of an individual church has many books written about it, and is a topic in itself; a CPM, on the other hand is a movement within a culture that results in many churches being planted; the planting of churches is almost subsidiary to the initiation of the movement. For those of us who work in this environment (my PhD thesis involves these definitions) these two things are very different. They need different articles. Hyper3 (talk) 22:41, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[]

<--No it's not, I'm afraid. The "planting of churches" is not yet proven to be a topic in its own right, as distinct from the spread of a church/denomination by way of moving to new areas and building churches there--PhD or not. But all that is neither here nor there. This is about CPM, which appears to be a topic. Church planting is next, no doubt. Drmies (talk) 02:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- " The "planting of churches" is not yet proven to be a topic in its own right" -???? Hyper3 (talk) 18:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Yes, this may surprise you--but I wonder if you've ever looked at WP:RS. Notwithstanding the claims that CPM is a fork, Church planting is actually an incredibly bad article on a topic that isn't yet proven to be a topic. Drmies (talk) 03:08, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- I suspect that the Church planting article was written from a British perspective. It is most certainly notable in the UK and as pointed out above has a distinct meaning certainly within the Church of England. There is a great deal written about it, and the Church of England report 'Mission-shaped Church' is the place to start - as a source it belongs in the Church planting article rather than the CPM article. But it isn't an area I'm interested or involved in and I'm not the person to improve the article. It is important to understand that it has a different significance and meaning within a church organised on a parish system with geographical boundaries for organisational purposes, in independent churches essentially competing for market share in a competitive religious 'economy', and for churches trying to expand into areas where there are few or any churches already. The philosophy and strategy may be different in each case and in some instances difficult to distinguish from any other approach to church foundation since the time of the apostles, but that is a problem for those improving the article(s) and does not really go to notability. There is a danger of allowing our own POV to intrude here. --AJHingston (talk) 11:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Ah I get it.. Drmies thinks that Church Planting Movement (CPM) is just another way of saying Church planting... like its the movement in the church that advocates Church planting. This isn't true at all. CPM is proposing that there are culture-level (nationwide sometimes) approaches to spreading the gospel that result in many new churches being planted. Church planting (a term that forms the title of many, many books is about the beginning of individual churches, and is much more prosaic. Hyper3 (talk) 09:16, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- Delete as WP:FORK of Church planting.--Cox wasan (talk) 23:39, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Delete as lacking evidence for notability from third-party reliable sources. There is no question that the broader topic of the expansion of some Protestant denominations in less-developed parts of the world in recent years is notable (by any standards, not just Wikipedia's), but this article seems to be about little more than a catch-phrase or metaphor used by certain groups. Without verifiable evidence that this 'planting' differs from other methods used to spread 'the word', this article will surely fall on stony ground [2]... AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Redirect back to Church planting as a content fork. There are issues with notability as well as presented by others adequately above. I think that perhaps merging the content as well into a section would be fine. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 00:05, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[]

I was not able to find any significant coverage to would back up that assertion. I'm prepared to change my mind if reliable sources are presented, but at this point, I don't see anything that would establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 13:36, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is one of the worst I've come across on Wikipedia, being basically a WP:Coatrack collection of incidents where this particular piece of underwear has been mentioned in the news along with some weakly cited societal observations. This really does not belong in an encyclopedia, nor does Social impact of dildos, Social impact of nailclippers, etc. The article Thong (clothing) does an adequate job of covering this piece of clothing. :) Toddst1 (talk) 22:28, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]

- Keep Seems to be fairly well written and would meet WP:GNG. "This article is one of the worst I've come across on Wikipedia". Really? The worst you've come across? Was this the first and only article you've read on here? What policy does this violate that warrants deletion? Lugnuts (talk) 09:13, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep being a sourcable and well-sourced topic that has extensive coverage in multiple reliable sources, allowing the topic to be worthy of note. Any perception that any article on any notable topic might be itself poorly written, is a call for cleanup through regular editing. Perceived as not encyclopedic? Considering the wide and persistant coverage of this topic, and its sourcable societal impact, that is a decent reason to wish addressing perceived style and format flaws, but not one justifying deletion... that said, a proper merge to an expanded section at Thong (clothing) might be discussed on the article's talk page. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 19:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Strong Keep. While WP:COAT is a very important essay in understanding notability, this article hardly is in violation. Rather it complies perfectly with WP:NOTE, the relevant guideline, including WP:GNG (coverage, significance, independence and reliability). On top of that the article contains content forked from the mother article (Thong (clothing)), a process that follows WP:CONTENTFORK, the most relevant content guideline here. I see no reason for a deletion or even a merger. All that it requires is a cleanup. But, of course, a cleanup is hard work, while arguing for deletion is not so at all. Thank you. Aditya(talk • contribs) 06:03, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep - maybe not the best article, but it is a legitimate content fork with lots of good sourcing. Too much stuff to be adequately contained in the parent article. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:33, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep Perfectly suitable topic, with enough sources. Some people dislike dealing with such subjects in a serious encyclopedia, not realizing that Wikipedia is a comprehensive encyclopedia covering all of human life, not one limited to the conventional serious topics. And without specific reference to anyone, or to this AfD in particular, part of the opposition may sometimes be due to discomfort with discussion of sexual topics in a formal setting, even by those who are perfectly comfortable with such material in other settings. As for the suggestions in the nominations, Social impact of dildos would be an appropriate article, but I'm not sure about nail-clippers, on the basis that I can't for the moment think of any specifically relevant material for that one, but I don't know all the possible fields well enough to tell. DGG ( talk ) 14:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep as being a reasonable topic, well sourced, and easily arguable that there is ongoing societal changes in regards to how thongs are viewed, to the point of being political at times. It has raised issues of 'freedom of expression vs. censorship' as well as forcing society as a whole to ask 'what is nude?', caused thousands of people to join groups to either support or oppose their use in public, and generated large amounts of press in very reliable sources. This is easily verifiable, and within this article, fairly well documented. In short: Lots of controversy + lots of media coverage + over many years + societal impact = clearly passing criteria. Sorry, but I think you missed the point of the article. Dennis Brown (talk) 14:41, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep per DGG, Dennis Brown, et al. This is an extremely well-cited, if badly-cited (I know professors who would cringe at the use of several citation styles). It could use some snipping as well, but I'm not touching this one; pardon the pun. Bearian (talk) 17:57, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- Israeli peace camp (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is essentially a polemic with blatant disregard for NPOV. It has only two sources; the rest is unverified original research. The topic itself is weasel wordy and all of the relevant material is discussed elsewhere on Wikipedia in better articles such as Politics of Israel, Anti-Zionism, and Peace process in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

- Keep A Google Books search here and Google News Archive search here show that "Israeli peace camp" is the term used for decades to describe the broad array of Israeli political forces advocating peace with the Palestinians. Shortcomings in the current version of the article should be addressed through normal editing rather than by deletion of an article about a notable topic. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:15, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep: GHcool is correct that this article is pretty dreadful. It is also true that, given the dynamics of advocacy editing in the Israel-Palestine field, it will be a challenge to create an article of any quality. On the other hand, there is no denying that the article is about an important, much-discussed and researched phenomenon in Israeli life and politics. --Ravpapa (talk) 07:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Redirect to Politics of Israel. As the lead itself says, "The peace camp is mostly associated with Israeli left-wing politics". This is but an unnecessary fork of that subject, with a sexier title. Even Hebrew wikipedia doesn't have a corresponding article. Poliocretes (talk) 08:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Delete I don't think there is any group in Israel with a policy of "we hate peace". This label for an article should be taken with skepticism. Looking at it skeptically, this is really just a bunch of WP:SYNTH , with no evidence that this is a common label. Also, no corresponding Hebrew article is fishy. Shii (tock) 12:49, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep - poorly sourced and non-neutral in places, but fundamentally a notable concept and a legitimate subject of an article. I don't agree that it duplicates the articles listed by the nominator; there doesn't seem to be any one other article which covers this specific grouping (although Peace movement#Israel has some crossover). Politics of Israel, for example, focuses more on the parliamentary parties than extraparliamentary campaigners and pressure groups. As for the title - well, 'the peace camp' is what its own members call it, so it's a fair title. The 'Criticism' section makes it quite clear that not everyone sees it that way. Robofish (talk) 13:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- Keep. The coverage in several sources, including those listed by Whpg, is enough to satisfy WP:GNG. He's especially notable, since I don't think that it's common for Russians to be covered in an American newspaper, especially the New York Times.--Slon02 (talk) 22:23, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[]

WP:NSPORT says that for a rugby league player to be notable, the player has to have played at least one match in a fully professional league. In Australia, that is the National Rugby League (NRL). This article was created in 2009, when the player might have been considered an up-and-comer, playing in the Newcastle Knights' Under-20s (Toyota Cup) team. But he has never cracked first-grade NRL football, as the notablity standards require. According to this source, he hasn't played in the Toyota Cup for over a year: the article is thus out of date when it says "He plays at second row and prop in the Under-20s Toyota Cup competition". There is no significant coverage in reliable sources. Mkativerata (talk) 21:36, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]

- Delete: No objective evidence that the fictional location meets the general notability guideline since a few sources that repeat the plot of the cartoon are not significant coverage. In my opinion it can only be a plot-only description of a fictional work, since no secondary source appear to provide analytic or evaluative claims about the fictional island to presume that it is notable beyond the plot of the series. The only one perhaps is Lidz (2000), but it is a trivial mention at best and again is with regard to the plot, so I do not believe that a stand-alone article is justified.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No evidence at all of passing either the general notability guideline or the guideline for academics. There are four references, but one is her profile on the web site of the university where she works, two make only passing references to her, and the other one is a page saying that she won a prize, but how notable the prize is is unclear. I can find no significant independent coverage of the prize. The amount of independent coverage of Haleh Ghoreishi is very small for an academic. Everything I have seen is entirely consistent with the hypothesis that she is a perfectly ordinary and unnotable academic. (Note: Verification of information is made more difficult by the fact that her name sometimes appears as Halleh Ghorashi rather than Ghoreishi.) JamesBWatson (talk) 17:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep She is the holder of a named chair at a major university, and thus meets WP:PROF. This is way more than a "perfectly ordinary" academic. The ordinary academic is not a full professor in the most prestigious university in Holland. She has published several books, and at least a dozen peer-reviewed articles. This is considerably more than the "perfectly ordinary" academic. The publications show her an expert in her field. I added some of them to start with. DGG ( talk ) 18:37, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- DGG has made me wonder if she may be more notable than I at first thought. However, at least some of DGG's reasoning is flawed. The fact that she has published "at least a dozen peer-reviewed articles" is certainly not an indication of notability beyond the typical academic: many research students have published half a dozen peer-reviewed articles, and a seriously notable academic can is very likely to have published far more than a dozen of them. Nor is having published several books a guarantee of notability: there are many people who have done so, but are not notable by Wikipedia's standards. Thank you, DGG, for adding mention of some of her publications, that is certainly helpful. However, her own publications do nothing to esatblish notability, as we need publications about her, not by her. Unfortunately "professor" means different things in different parts of the world. A professor in one of the traditional universities in Britain, for example, is a very senior position, whereas the title "professor" in many American universities applies to quite junior university lecturers. Holding "a chair" is also a variable qualification: in some universities that indicates that the person is a head of a major department, in others no little more than that they are a couple of steps above the lowest rank. In this case she was an "assistant professor" until the Participatie van Vrouwen uit Etnische Minderheden created a "chair for her as part of its campaign to increase participation of immigrant women. How far that chair represents an acknowledgement of her academic importance and how far it represents that she was considered the kind of person they wanted to encourage is unclear. In such a case the way to decide is to look for substantial independent coverage. I have had no difficulty finding coverage of the fact that she hold that chair, but I have not managed to find anything that indicates that that chair is significant. The expression "full professor" exists in America, but I have never come across it in the context of the Netherlands, so I can't say what it entails, if indeed it is a translation of a recognised expression. There is still not a single source cited in the article which is independent of her and gives substantial co0verage of her, as opposed to just mentioning her or being by her. I do acknowledge that, in light of what DGG has said, it is possible that she is more notable than I at first thought, but I still can't find the sort of substantial independent coverage of her academic career that would confirm that she is.

Comment: This is the hardest Google search I've ever made in AfD discussions. JamesBWatson has rightfully observed that the different spelling of the name didn't help.

- Keep. JBW, I've moved the article: Hallah Ghorashi is the way to go, as suggested by her coverage in the Dutch press. See this search, for instance. I've added a VPRO reference to the article that beefs up the biography a little bit. I'm kind of tired of BLPs, so I won't do much more to the article, but let me note this:
- I'm not sure her particular named chair makes her automatically notable, but it's certainly more than a regular prof job.
- It seems to me that she generates plenty of coverage in the Dutch press to say she passes GNG. Her inauguration was widely covered, for instance (some more hits for that here.
- I can't judge the impact of her work since I haven't looked for reviews in the academic press (Crusio is really, really good at that sort of stuff) and for impact in the news media, but I'm confident that she doesn't even need to pass WP:PROF (though I guess she will) in that particular sense given her general newsworthiness. In all, she's a keeper, I'll go to bat for her, and I'm proud to claim her as one of us, haha. Drmies (talk) 02:17, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- The first source given is by her, not about her and so does not contribute to notability. The second group of sources are rather feeble, some are about different people with the same name. Others look like the sort of stuff that university public relation departments put out routinely. Xxanthippe (talk).
- Look again. I've added sources from VPRO, a long interview with Intermediair (which needs an article, BTW), an article from the Reformatorisch Dagblad, and a pretty significant mention (a couple of paragraphs) from Trouw. I'm not sure what groups of sources you're talking about; I assure you that the references I added are from utterly reliable and independent sources, and they're about the same person--who clearly is recognized as an expert, a voice to be listened to, in the Dutch immigration and integration debate.

This post sites facts and links to credible news sites. The evidence of notability is in the links where the blog has been featured. Which there are numerous. I could add more to add more notability, but then it is "promotional." Also it was not previously deleted for being promotional, it was nominated for deletion.

This article was never deleted. I have only put it up once, therefore it has never been deleted. It has been nominated for speedy deletion due to promotion. I took out most things about the blogs author, it focuses on the blog itself (even though anyone who read the blog would realize that the blog is about the author of the blog).

Yes, the Jill Smokler page was deleted for copyright violation. I had rights from her to use the exact wording, but instead of her giving consent I figured it would be easier just to paraphrase everything.

- Comment - A long list of credits shows that he is a working director. To establish notability, we'd need to see coverage in reliable sources (I found none), or something like a notable award (say an Emmy) for his directing, and there doesn't appear to be any based on his IMDB profile.

- Good effort, but I don't think so. The blurb in the Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors, Volume 1 comes somewhat close to meeting WP:GNG. But it is not very substantial and only one source. And the description of the source itself notes the book covers many must-be non-notable directors ("cites every director of stand alone long-form television programs: made for TV movies, movie-length pilots, mini-series, and feature-length anthology programs, as well as drama, comedy, and musical specials of more than 60 minutes. A much-needed reference that celebrates these often-neglected artists.") There is still not anything close to indicating the subject meets WP:DIRECTOR.

- Once upon a time on Wikipedia if a television director like Mr. Napolitano had a large number of credits, his notability would not be under question. As a matter of fact I know a few television actors, directors and writers who a have credits up the ying-yang, but do not a Wikipedia entry until they have died. They are covered by a website reporting their death and an obituary is used as a source, an independent third party source, of course. So is that what we are going to have to do for Mr. Napolitano, wait till he dies until he gets independent coverage, than he can have an article? QuasyBoy 14:35, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- Interesting article, but being in the business myself somewhat, I have to strongly disagree with your conclusion. The article appears more as an opinion piece that explains the differences in the types of directors, but does not state that one industry professional is automatically less inportant/notable than another. Stage directors are notable to stage. Film directors are notable to film. Television directors are notable to television. And the paragraph 5 of that article goes on to explain in more detail that television directors DO perform notable works and even gives examples of TV directors who then went on to films. Always nice to consider context. What has bearing is that a television director is under a greater stess to produce in a timely fashion than is a film director and might direct multiple episodes of a notable series in the same time as might a film director. Does having to do more in less time or being sometimes more disposable by a network make them non-notable? And worth noting is that television directors are be recipients of notable awards. See Directors Guild of America and Directors Guild of America Award... which are not limited in membership nor recognition to "only" film directors. While each has different work and different time constraints, they can be notable none-the-less. Just as with actors, we do not judge entertainment professionals by only the least of what they have accomplished, as even the most notable tv or film director began with inauspicious roots. We judge rather by the length and depth of a career. And by the by... Napolitano HAS directed films, not just episodic television.Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:01, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[]

- Keep The GNG is set to assist in determining notability through significant coverage when availble. SNGs such as WP:DIRECTOR are set to assist in determining notability when SIGCOV is not present, and with WP:DIRECTOR, a body of his notable projcts must be verifiable in reliable sources, with no requirement that the souces being used to verify must also be SIGCOV. The GNG and the SNGs are both parts of WP:N, intended to work together and not at odds. Failing the GNG does not mean one cannot pass an SNG, and conversely, failing an SNG does not mean one cannot pass the GNG. As Napolitano's multiple works CAN be verified and many of his works HAVE been themselves the recipients of SIGCOV, we have a meeting of the SNG. All the article requires is a couple sections on his more notabe projects and the recognition those projects received. That's an issue addressable through regular editing and does not require deletion. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:39, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Ah, you're in the business... Now I know what QuasyBoy canvassed you here. So you admit her fails GNG. Clearly some of the shows he has directed episodes of have received coverage. But how does that meet DIRECTOR? Which prong? Are the shows "his" body of work? Would the lighting person on these shows meet DIRECTOR? I might buy it for producers who seem to stay with the show over the course of a sesion. But it is not clear television directors should fall under DIRECTOR at all. And I still don't think he meets it on its own terms. Further, he has not directed a feature motion picture, just two made for TV movies. He has been one asssistant director on several theater-released films. Novaseminary (talk) 15:51, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Yes, "in the business" as an actor in both film and television, a fact that has never been concealed. So what? Being a coordinator of Project Film, I ALWAYS check the film and actor delsorts, so he did not suggest I go anywhere or do anything I do not normally check as a matter of course. I was asked neutrally for my input and no request was made that I opine one way or the other... and had his argument been flawed I would have have been quite willing to opine a delete. Meeting the GNG is not a requiremenmt if meeting WP:CREATIVE, and a personal opinion that directors of film be treated as more notable than directors of other types of notable productions, seems an attempt to re-write WP:CREATIVE. AFD is the wrong forum to attempt to rewrite guideline, as at AFD, we apply the guidelines as currently existing and not as we "wish" them to be. Worth stressing is that the opinion piece you linked above does well in its illustrating that television directors have a great deal of notable creative control of their projects, and even with you wishing to concentrate on the least of his works (the showing of which is required in a properly comprehensive BLP), he DID direct notable FILM and TELEVISION production, and their being confined to the small screen does not make such productions non-notable. Incluson in Wikipedia is based upon verifability, and we apply guideline and policy to determine if a topic is verifiable and just notable enough for inclusion without limiting this encyclopedia to "only" the "most" notable. So, and with respects, it is your argument which is flawed. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 19:11, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- I realize he need not meet GNG. We all agree he does not. And I am not trying to change WP:CREATIVE. I don't think he meets that, either. You have never said, but seem to be arguing he meets #3. I don't think so. I don't think he "has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work." His two TV movies don't come close. And his directing episodes of many notable TV shows doesn't either. He has not "created, or played a major role in co-creating" any of them, so far as we can tell. The shows' creators did that, maybe the producers, but probably not the directors. You would never refer to him as a creator or co-creator of Quantum Leap or the like, would you? As for coverage of his body of work as such, no sources do anything more than list the shows he has worked on. If there were sources that talked about his role in creating several shows, I'd buy it. But there are not. Novaseminary (talk) 20:31, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- You're advocating that a television director cannot be notable, and that is a fallacy, as even the article you posted in an attempt to lessen consideration of their work actually supports the proposition that they do indeed many times have creative and artistic input into their productions. WP:CREATIVE does not state the such individuals must write and produce... else by that logic many film directors would be found non-notable. That's not how it works. By a television director having that creative input, they become part of a notable production's creation or co-creation. Not all do, no. But we are not discussing those that do not. His two TV movies have been the recipient of commentary and review, and in an industry (and this includes filmmaking) where directors are sometimes switched out as often a a pair of socks (as relected by his and many director's one-ofs), I find his directing 12 episodes of Quantum Leap, 2 episodes of The X-Files, 2 episodes of Picket Fences, 3 episodes of The Pretenders, 2 episodes of L.A. Doctors, 2 episodes of Dawson's Creek, 4 episodes of Boston Public, and 14 episodes of Strong Medicine to be indicative of his sometimes having more than a passing interest in the creation and artistic integrity of those notable series, even if not the writer or producer of those series. And when doing a search that removes the false positives created by a mobster with the same name, it is not difficult al all to see that this man has made it into the enduring record.[15][16][17][18][19] Most notable ever? Nope. Notable enough to be worthy of note for Wikipedia? Yes. And I request assistance in tracking down: (TV Zone (USA/UK) July 1996, Iss. 80, pg. 19-21, by: Steven Eramo, "Leaping Into The Unknown") where he is interviewed about his involvement with Quantum Leap, as the microfiche for this article is missing from my public library.

- I never said or implyed this poor !vote was reason to delete. Merely that it should receive zero weight in favor of keeping (or at all), for two reasons: 1) it is nonsensical, and 2) it was made in violation of WP:POINTY (which, I mention only to explain why it is non-sensical, and to highlight there is probably not a good argument just poorly stated).

My opinion is that there is enough verifiability for this man's career to show his being just notable enough per policy and guideline to merit inclusion.

Promotional article about a fanfilm maker of questionable notability. Films are all minor, with no significant coverage. Google search on "Run Rincewind Run" "Troy Larkin" shows only 96 unique results, none from reliable sources.

Autobiography of a prolific, but not identifiably notable musician. Cited references are either primary sources, mentions in passing, or no mention at all. The award claimed does not appear to have any notability of itself (2011 was the first year it was awarded -- too soon to tell if it will become significant).

- Comment - There is plenty of coverage of this term [20], [21], [22], [23], [24]. That Sports Illustrated regards this as one of "hockey's all-time classic lines" makes me inclined to say keep it. But that the term also applies to other lines e.g., [25], [26] gives me pause. Still, since the Detroit version is the original, and the one with lots of sources, I'd lean to keep, with redirecting as an alternative.

Of the three sources used on this article, one is a blog post of questionable reliability and another is a primary source. A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This television movie fails Wikipedia's general notabiltiy guideline. Neelix (talk) 21:28, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep: This was certainly notable in 1993 when it first came out, and Google certainly supports that. However, the age of the media makes it difficult to retrieve sources that show that.

- Delete as nominator - Notability requires verifiable evidence. As Wikipedia's notability guidelines state, "once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface." This article has existed for more than four years, and in all that time, only one possibily reliable, secondary source has surfaced. Unless a significant amount of information is found on this topic in reliable, secondary sources, this article should be deleted. Neelix (talk) 14:55, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- What about the fact it is being re-released on Blu-ray and DVD for the shows' 40th and 45th anniversaries? And there is evidence it's just that all of the evidence regarding its notability happened long before the proliferation of the Internet. And I doubt that I'll be able to find stuff from the kids magazines from 1993.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:01, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Delete: I'm with Neelix; so far, the evidence to Keep comes down to a WP:ITEXISTS argument. If no reliable sources for an article can be produced, it cannot be kept. Ravenswing 17:14, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Reliable sources are available. Just none from the original release. I have just added four more references to the article, all regarding the press surrounding the upcoming/recent BD and DVD release.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:22, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Keep: I think Ryulong has already found enough references to prove notability. Sanspo is a major national newspaper in Japan and ZakZak is a major news website. One can also argue from related notability: both Ultraman and Kamen Rider are internationally famous characters and this is their only meeting. Michitaro (talk) 01:51, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[]

this band does not appear to satisfy wp:music. awards are not major. having a notable actor as part of the band does not make them notable. the article has a lot of references but none are significant coverage in independent reliable sources. convention announcements are not independent. kroq ref is just them talking about themselves. facebook and twitter are not reliable.

Save Eyeshine
[edit]please edit and leave comments below mine. keep a backup of your comment
Matt Osorio
Eyeshine should have it's name in history for future musicians as inspiration to not give up when others are trying to discourage or intimidate them. In my opinion I had the honor to speak with them. My whole perspective on job, intern, and career searching changed. When you are rejected take all the disapointments, discouragments and transform it into motivation for fuel to keep you going and you can eventually succeed. It just matters how far you are willing to go. I am still on my road of discouragments but I am looking for a detour. And that knowledge is what I gained from talking to each of the band members. It's not about being popular, But connecting with people, and talking to the fans. Please Wikipedia don't make the mistake of erasing this unique part of history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattvp13 (talk • contribs) 05:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC) — Mattvp13 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Matt is totally correct, the band has come a long way, it has churned out several albums and has worked equally as hard as multiple other bands out there. You say they are non-notable? What about Drive-By Argument? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-by_Argument) Yes, they played T in The Park: once. What makes them notable? Their page shouldn't have a place here if Eyeshine doesn't.

- Keep - EYESHINE has either made the finals or won several independent band competitions http://www.ampmagazine.com/10956/amp-unsigned-band-contest-part-iv/ http://www.987fm.com/pages/rockstar09/page-rockstar09vidsnew3.php. They have a devoted local following, have performed all over the country and even done some shows internationally. EYESHINE is poised to follow other local area bands that recently shot to stardom with their edgy sound. Yes, Johnny Yong Bosch, band co-founder and lead singer has a prominent career as a voice and on-camera actor, but this is separate from EYESHINE the band. Merging the two pages doesn't make sense. Other than Bosch himself, there is no overlap or common thread between these two entities. Moreover, EYESHINE IS a notable enough indy band to warrant its own article. They have six albums on iTunes and a behind-the-scenes web series, The EYESHINE Experience [28] garnering thousands of views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TweetLvr (talk • contribs) 00:20, 3 November 2011 (UTC) — TweetLvr (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

This article of a TV fictional character of All My Children lacks notability establishment, especially from third-party publications. TV.com is cited, but I am uncertain about its reliability because it is user-submitted, like IMDB. This article is written as a well-written entry, but the whole context may not have been referenced properly. The fact that the show is cancelled doesn't help matters. It was previously PRODded; the PROD was improperly contested by IP editor who believes that this character is "notable". --Gh87 (talk) 00:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC) I vote delete. --Gh87 (talk) 08:08, 9 October 2011 (UTC) Right now there is only one citation, as the TV.com reference was removed as unreliable and user-submitted. As of this time, the whole article is all plot and short of perspectives outside fiction. Some people say: the fictional character may be notable, even if the show is cancelled, such as Sam Malone and Diane Chambers of Cheers and Jerry Seinfeld of Seinfeld. Same thing would have done for this character; unfortunately, this article very little improved before this AfD has been relisted recently. To condensate the plot, I must remove the irrelevant to this character; I could not tell which part is irrelevant. But the notability, significant coverage, and awareness from third-party and independent sources come first before condensating the plot. I barely understand how this character's role as either major or minor can suffice notability. Fiction alone is too insufficient to me, even if a plot summary is too long, and the description of portrayers of this character won't help suffice as I'm afraid. This article needs to be more than and far from resembling as one of the featured and good articles of EastEnders, Coronation Street, and their characters. If very densed improvement doesn't happen soon, it may appear to have better chances of merging, redirecting, or deleting. --Gh87 (talk) 11:05, 15 October 2011 (UTC) The fact that this article hasn't improved from the plot-only state but has stayed this way which could violate WP:PLOT influences me to think: the fictional character is not sufficiently notable in and out of the soap opera coverages. I haven't seen a lot of news coverages for this character, especially in television-oriented and local news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gh87 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[]

- Keep major characters in major shows should have articles. That rule is not a formal guideline, because one or two stubborn people in the discussions over the last few years stonewalled against it, or any compromise whatsoever. So we unfortunately have to go case by case--any compromise, even one more restrictive than I would like, would be better than the current situation , with half of AfD devoted to these discussions. . But it what we usually do, and its what we should do here. WP:PLOT is properly interpreted as referring to the total Wikipedia coverage of a work, as often done by very unsophisticated editors here for minor fiction. Obviously any break-out article about anything primarily relating to plot or characters will necessarily be about the plot. (It would of course be easy enough to introduce minor material about such things as the exact timings of her scenes, but that's the sort of fan details we usually do not include. Does anyone here really advocate adding it, or think it would improve the article? DGG ( talk ) 01:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[]

- Redirect/Delete. Are we talking about the same article? I'm going to copy/paste the entire content of the article into this comment. Here we go:
- That's it, but for templates (and {{Main}} is a template too!). Surely there's a better option, and surely this person wasn't the only character in this season. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the show, but if the cast in this year matched that of a previous (or subsequent) year, then add a note to that list with "The cast returned for the 1991 series, but for the addition of Raquel Watts and the departure of Whomever." And then you add your profile and your main article link and move on. If it's just gonna be one name, then that's not sufficient. It's possible merging/redirecting other series articles may be prudent, but that's out of scope for this debate. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:32, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[]
- Delete for want of any other options. A merge is impossible, because this "list" contains nothing whatsoever, and a redirect is inappropriate because it is a highly unlikely search term. I'm amazed that organizing our presentation of this subject matter by removing a useless empty page is not considered a reasonable editorial decision by some of the above keep !voters and I suggest this is just an automatic aversion to typing the dreaded "d word" than a genuine evaluation of the page in question.

- Delete. I searched long and hard for any scrap of notability but I just couldn't find anything. Not even a brief mention in a news article. Every link I click on is either a promotional video posted (presumably) by the band or a link to purchase the single. The band appears to be notable but this single is not.

- G1 speedy delete or redirect to Sanity Clause. Geez, I can't remember the last time I harvested crops of citizens or "harbored crops, felons, and pyrite". Aah, those were the good old days. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:45, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]

- The "trust clause" is a term used very often in law, either if it's anti-trust or for estates/inheritance so the term is notable. Unfortunately this hoax isn't an article, so it's better off to delete and rewrite from scratch. Secret account 06:06, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Delete with fire. This title should probably be redirected to Trust (law). Cheers! bd2412 T 03:03, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[]

This is a Personal essay that has no reliable sources so is unverifiable. Contested prod, so bringing here for discussion. Sparthorse (talk) 01:13, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]

- Delete - I can't find any evidence of plagiarism (Copyright violation) but it's a pure ESSAY, OR, and obviously no References to Verify. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:12, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Redirect to community of interest. The expressions community of interest, common interest network, common-interest network, community of interest network and interest network appear synonymous. --Edcolins (talk) 09:05, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Comment The suggestion of redirecting to community of interest is a good one. Thanks for finding the right target article, Edcolins. Best, Sparthorse (talk) 09:07, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Comment - no objection to a redirect, but community of interest is also an unsourced stub. Work there for anyone interested... Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:28, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Comment was about to say exactly the same thing as Chiswick Chap. The sources for community of interest are two articles by the same academic. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 09:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
- Just added two sources (to community of interest). They might not be the best sources, but this may incite others to come and improve the article. --Edcolins (talk) 09:56, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[]
