The result was redirect to Gettysburg Battlefield. Redirect was made for unrelated reasons some time after this AfD was created.
The AfD is being closed many years later, because it was never properly closed back then, because it was never visible, because it was never transcluded on any of the daily logpages. Technically, it has still been open this whole time.
Nobody else could ever be admitted here, because this door was made only for you. I am now going to shut it. (non-admin closure) jp×g 07:00, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[]

I am nominating that these articles be merged with the Gettysburg Battlefield article, since they describe minor portions of the battlefield and from what I've read these places were not vital for either army to possess in order to win the battle. Wild Wolf (talk) 22:47, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[]
Just a question. You mentioned "probably need to be left as a stub", so does that mean the article should be retained and not deleted?

Keep -- I pasted this nomination from Talk:Gettysburg Battlefield to see if I could do it right, but I agree with the Vegaswikan that the article should not be deleted. The topic of Barlow Knoll is a historically notable landform like The Peach Orchard, McPherson Ridge, East Cemetery Hill, etc. and clearly meets the wikipedia notability requirements for includable topics. Isn't that all that's need to keep? Also in addition to the Civil War battle at the knoll and the postbellum historic events, the hill is more notable than the adjacent Blocher's Run, which itself meets the notability requirements for a stand-alone article. Hopefully some other folks have ideas on the matter (there were a lot at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Peach Orchard which is a similar hornfel and had a somewhat less desperate battle.)

- Abortion exceptionalism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Combination of original research with a simple notability problem; ostensible topic is mentioned in passing in a couple of borderline reliable sources, and additional material (the African and Middle Eastern sentence) is synthesized in. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:53, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Delete. Some sources, but it would be much much better if the concept was discussed in context of the legal status of abortion. JFW | T@lk 21:01, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- That sounds more like a merge !vote than a recommendation to delete. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Keep The idea that "abortion is special" (compared to other medical procedures) appears in all sorts of sources, but particularly legal sources. "Abortion exceptionalism" is the formal name for the concept. There are comparable concepts for other medical situations, e.g., HIV exceptionalism (HIV infection is so scary that it requires special legal protections; see sources). PMID 10182216 addresses abortion exceptionalism.
Additionally, I'd like to know more about what Roscelese believes is a NOR violation in that stub. The paragraph at the top of page 10 names Rwanda and Kuwait (among others), and I believe that those are generally taken to be African and Middle Eastern countries, respectively. I'm not sure how it could be "synthesized in", either, given that the paragraph actually uses the exact phrase abortion exceptionalism. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:51, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[]- If we accept the idea that abortion exceptionalism is the treatment of abortion in a different way from other medical procedures, rather than any situation involving exceptions and abortion, it is clear that "abortion isn't normally allowed, but it was in a situation of war rape" clearly does not belong. By the way, the phrase in that source is "anti-abortion exceptionalism." The material you recently added has the same problem - an article should be about a topic, and throwing together a bunch of disparate situations involving A) abortion and B) an exception to something just won't do. The material that is actually about the ostensible topic is sparse and brief. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- "Abortion is legally special during war" is not a materially different subject from "Abortion is legally special during peacetime". The subject of the article is the legal specialness of abortion. That includes treating it as legally special in war and peace as well as in places that normally ban and normally permit it. And you will want to read far more of that book than you apparently have before you make pronouncements about how much of it discusses the oddities of the legal status of abortion. I'd suggest also running a quoted search on Google books for "abortion is special" and see how many sources spend whole chapters talking about the abortion being an exception to the usual legal and regulatory rules. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:44, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- But that's not what's going on in the war rape situation in that book. In the USA material we have abortion as legally distinct from other medical procedures, whereas in the WWI France material we have some abortions as distinct from other abortions. (Also, re: Rwanda and Kuwait - what?? The source doesn't even mention abortion in relation to those countries on the page you cite. Other pages, yes, but not in reference to any exceptionalism.) Again, the article should not be a dumping ground for any scenario involving 1) an abortion + 2) an exception. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Delete - yes, there are sources, but I don't see how using a phrase in many diferrent ways adds up to a single article. Bearian (talk) 01:59, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Delete There seems to be two uses of the term: one, to indicate an excessively rigorous view of the indications for abortion in contrast to other medical procedures (which would be a logical extension of the way the "exceptionalism" term is used elsewhere) and the less logical use to mean the treatment of abortions for some reasons in some exceptional social situations as much more permissive than usual for that procedure. Until a standard use develops, it would be hard to have an article. DGG ( talk ) 06:20, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[]

The result was delete. As is almost always the case, the crux of this discussion is whether or not this band meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. A large portion of this discussion is not in fact about that subject but rather mudslinging between the participants or discussion of aspects of the article not relevant to the reasons it was nominated for deletion. Of course all such remarks were disregarded when making this close. Once all that material is discounted, it appears that consensus and policy favors the view that the article be deleted.

- My Revenge (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Local band of questionable notability. Provided references are all primary sources or fanzines. Due to common name, Google search results are problematic - however, adding the modifier "My Revenge" "Spencer Crispe" (Crispe is the lead singer, and is also editing the article) Google news shows only one result from a local paper - a standard search shows a lot of primary sources, social media, sales links, directory listings, and unreliable sources, but no significant coverage found from independent reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:49, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Keep I worked for Big Heavy World www.bigheavyworld.com in Burlington, Vermont. Big Heavy World is the Vermont Music Library and Shop. It is the largest archival collection of Vermont-based music in the state. I am a Vermont underground music historian, and also quite knowledgeable about this band, Vermont venues, Vermont music history, particularly focusing on the past 30 years. I am working to chronicle notable Vermont encyclopedia-worthy artists in Wikipedia as a volunteer.
- Not a local band - Band is a national and international touring act for a full decade. Moreover, band is a professionally published band on a widely distributed record label www.thorprecords.com. Furthermore, numerous bands on this record label have Wikipedia entires - See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madball; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_for_Blood; and
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheer_Terror
- These are just a few of the bands on the same record label, also with Wikipedia articles.
- Additionally, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Static_Age This is a notable band also from Vermont, similar stature, no maintenance tags.
- See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_(band) - This article has citations which are not questioned nor maintenance templates, and it is consistent with numerous other Entries.
- My Revenge is also notable as being the first punk and underground band from Vermont to tour internationally. If you look at history of page - Spencer Crispe was involved for ease of copyright in obtaining image uploads. Sources are characterized as reliable and found within innumerable other Wikipedia entires - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_(band) Did google searching before creating article and found band toured in Nova Scotia, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Japan. Meets and exceeds Wikipedia notability standards. Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 23:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]

DeleteThe issue is the lack of substantial source material which is both independent and reliable. --Jayron32 05:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[]- Changing my vote to Weak delete per new sources. The allmusic blurb is nice, but not enough in my opinion to meet the "Significant coverage" portion of WP:GNG. When all of the reliable writing about a subject that exists is a paragraph, that isn't "significant".
- A paragraph is plenty for telling detail and opinion, and these would certainly be used in any good article on this subject. How then can it be insignificant? It's not all the reliable writing that exists: Exclaim! is an accepted RS, vetted by WP:ALBUMS/REVSITE for instance. Its review really is brief, and informal, and yet knowledgeable.

- In my opinion, it isn't. Significance of coverage requires a level of depth that I don't see in those sources. Produce a longer reliable source, and I could be convinced otherwise. --Jayron32 17:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- I don't feel i need to. your view is out of step with consensus views on the subject, as per WP:BASIC, WP:CORPDEPTH etc., and while i want to say you are entitled to your opinion i am uncomfortable with trying to form local consensuses based not on some well-reasoned exception but merely on an idiosyncratic personal view. However, I do appreciate that you have moved from your original position. 86.44.24.82 (talk) 19:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]

I don't find the level of coverage so far provided to be substantial/significant. I'm quite aware of what the Wikipedia standards are, and it does not appear, to me, that the subject of this article meets it yet. --Jayron32 19:27, 30 January 2012 (UTC)*******You don't appear to have read the links, frankly, & are not aware of what the standards are. 86.44.24.82 (talk) 19:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)*******Jayron, you seem a very capable article writer. Could you quote what leads to your reading above? I see the reading and the pages as obviously incompatible. "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial..." Also, would you find these sources useful in a decent article on the subject? If so, they are significant coverage. Even selecting the work for review is itself significant. You might almost say these outlets have found the act "notable" ;) Following your view there would be no problem substituting all instances of "significant" with "substantial" in guidelines, perhaps with a minimum wordcount specified! :) 86.44.24.82 (talk) 17:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Band has allmusic.com guide entry. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/my-revenge-p657423. To characterize band as a "local band" shows wilful ignorance of content of article and facts. Multiple albums.

- Vermont Hardcore Punk's allegations are spurious.

- Response to MikeWazowki above: - I have made even further improvements to this article to your disregard. Your editing and nomination for deletion is in violation Wikipedia guidelines for conflict of interest and bias. The proper thing to do was to add comments about my improvements to the article on the talk page, which you did not before disruptively placing back the maintenance tags. Your arguments are patently vacuous and already I've warned you about the various Wikipedia guidelines you have violated. I unfortunately have to report your vandalism to this article, coupled with your conflict of interest. The fact that you play the card of having edited for sometime for Wikipedia means nothing in this context because the length of years of your editing is only as meritorious as its quality. Please review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest - "If other editors suggest that your editing violates Wikipedia's standards, take that advice seriously and consider stepping back, reassessing your edits" You have a conflict of interest, and bias with regards to your relationship to this article and therefore, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines should cease the vandalism and disruptive edits and "step back."

- This is getting tedious - the only "further improvements" you've made are the addition of the same link six times into the text, as well as some internal links. However, that link not only offers no corroboration for any of the claims you cite, it also appears to fail as a reliable source, as it's a user editable site. As to your threat of reporting me for vandalism, as I've stated several times on other pages, please give that a try. It will fail spectacularly. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:58, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Mike, my main issue which I have written about on the talk page, but will reiiterate here is as follows: The chronology giving rise to this dispute as I see it is 1) You put maintenance tags up (an obvious, welcome, and necessary component of Wikipedia), 2) I made an effort to address the maintenance tags, thought I did, and removed them. 3) You became angry and nominated the article for deletion. I believe this was retaliatory and in violation of Wikipedia guidelines for AfD. Moreover, it was unconstructive and unfair for an editor to do that, particularly without communicating with me and giving me even a modicum of time to work to address the issues. If you felt that I did not sufficiently address the issues in the maintenance tags to justify removal, then you should have discussed that with me, the author, on the Talk Page and afforded me the opportunity to address them. We could work collaboratively and construtively to address the tags you put up and I was happy to do that, particularly if afforded the time. Instead, as I see it, you just reactively nominated it for deletion, which, amongst other facts that have transpired here, was out of bias, retaliation and conflict of interest in violation of Wikipedia guidelines. I would like to propose a dispute resolution - If you will work with me to keep the article from this deletion, I will work as expeditiously as possible to address the issues raised with the current tags. I am affiliated with www.bigheavyworld.com, the large Vermont music archive. I can address the "improper references to the self-published sources tag" by putting up new photograph images disconnected from the subject. I certainly can also work to improve the links; and I do have newspaper articles through the archive which can be used to strengthen the sources - I just need some time (a week or 2). It is my hope that this proposal will be amenable to you and that our participation in this can come to be constructive and positive together. Sincerely, Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 06:06, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]

Edit-warring is against something called a policy around here, i believe, while "comment on the content, not the contributor" is perhaps more of a maxim. 86.44.24.82 (talk) 19:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)— 86.44.24.82 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- I note someone is editing without logging in, trying to create the false impression that multiple editors objecting to this - they are not. Also, SPA tags are allowed, and in cases like this, encouraged. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- You're stating Vermont Hardcore Punk is editing from a dublin, ireland IP with a completely different style? interesting. i'm plainly not an SPA by any definition. you are an edit-warrior and a rather foolish assumer of bad faith who is, it seems, incapable of debating on the merits, resorting instead to violating guidelines, policies and common sense good practice because you feel that politically you can get away with it. In short, you are the drop-off in editorship in one figure. 86.44.24.82 (talk) 23:25, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Keep - allmusic.com is reliable reference and through examination of other wikipedia band entries, record label information has been accepted definitively as a reliable source. this at least fully satisfies the expectations of WP:V as well as meeting the first criteria of WP:BAND. reference to thorprecords.com meets criteria 5 of WP:BAND as many on the label's roster are quite notable in the hardcore punk music scene. article does need more links to it. administrator take note, in reading history this article should not have been proposed for deletion to begin with. while MikeWazowski may not have bias, his conduct throughout surely is suspect of personal bias. wikipedia is not a muscle flexing witch hunt, and MikeWazowski's suggestion that wikipedia editor above was used to create a false impression of multiple objections, only to be disproved by it being revealed it was a dublin, ireland IP, further confirms that MikeWazowski has a personal COI and should not be editing article period. based on revision history and current maintenance tags, deletion seems an excessive solution to currently minor issues. would like to see improvement in citations, but any lack of citations is certainly not to the degree in this instance as to warrant deletion. keep article and continue to improve. references, particularly allmusic.com, are sound.

This page is now linked from at least 3 other articles which should address the "links to page" maintenance tag. I believe the minor amount of self published content in this article is permissible because it meets criteria 1-5 under WP:SELFSOURCE. Roshanbo (talk) 05:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[]

- Delete: Allmusic seems to me like an inclusive database of musicians that does't check for notability, much like IMDb. That the subject don't even have a biography (only overview and discography) on Allmusic definitely speaks to its lack of notability. Hence, despite the shaky argument above by two suspect users who have made few edits outside of this discussion, the subject fails WP:MUSICBIO. ZZArch talk to me 05:36, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- My argument is that it is reviewed at allmusic, i gave links to what that means, and i gave two other sources. The reason IMDb is unreliable is because it relies on user-submitted information. please make a report on any users you see as suspect, rather than smearing me merely for editing as an IP. 86.44.24.82 (talk) 15:12, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- What are these sources additional to? The ones in the article? 86.44.40.73 (talk) 05:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[]

Two of all these sources were later added to the article by another editor, but the majority are not yet in use. Some other sources were mentioned above on Feb 1st.

- Keep - It should be noted that this article has made considerable improvement since the nom began. I now see more reliable and verifiable sources including online magazines and a newspaper article.

The result was No Consensus to delete. There is a fair amount of discussion below, though not as well attended as one might wish, but no real consensus emerges. This is a topic about which we should clearly have some coverage but it is not certain whether it should be a separate article or an entry in a list. AussieLegend cogently argues that there is space in the season list to include all the relevant and sourceable content. On the other hand, DDG's point that episodes of a particular TV series should usually be treated in the same way is also reasonable and explicitly endorsed by Roscelese. So while merging may well be a viable long-term solution, if it is to be done, it shouldn't be done one episode at a time. Eluchil404 (talk) 22:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[]

This is an unreferenced article that fails to establish notability of the subject. It contains only a plot summary and a list of guest stars, all of which has been merged into the season article.[17] As an article that is essentially a plot only summary it fails WP:PLOT and, as all content has been merged to The West Wing (season 6), the article is now fully redundant to that article. I tried redirecting this article, but it was opposed, with the opposer citing a DRV discussion.
The article was originally deleted after AfD in February 2010, but was restored after DRV. The nominator at DRV expressed concerns over a number of issues:
- The AfD was sparsely attend - This happens all the time, but it is really no reason to restore an article that was deleted for valis reasons. Even the nominator acknowledged that the AfD closer did not close poorly.
- This is the only episode for which there is not an article - There is no requirement to have articles for every episode. Only articles that meet the requirements of WP:N, WP:V and MOS:TV should exist. In fact, of the 154 episode articles that exist for The West Wing]], 136 fail to meet the requirements of our policies and guidelines.
- It appears to be the only episode article that was nominated for deletion - This is in the realm of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. In reality 135 other articles should have been nominated, but for some reason weren't.
- lack of deletion of other articles implies tacit consensus for recreation of the article - One could use this argument for most DRVs and, if it was valid, there would be no point in even nominating most articles at AfD. The more likely reason is simply apathy, which is probably also the reason the entire West Wing series of episode related articles have not been improved and contained multiple errors until I started fixing them a few weeks ago.
Despite those concerns, the simple fact is that this article does not establish notability, fails WP:PLOT and is now significantly duplicates content contained in The West Wing (season 6). Accordingly this article should not exist. AussieLegend (talk) 11:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Comment- There are 130 listed at [[Category:The West Wing stubs]], including the template. Even if none had content, the only foreseeable result would be to redirect the episodes to the appropriate season. This seems to be the wrong venue, and would probably be better served as a comprehensive WP:RFC than WP:RFD, though you're right that this is a terrible example. The show was wildly popular, and I'm sure the ratings are available somewhere, but I don't know how to find them. Other real world context would likely be more difficult, except for those who already know where to look. Still, Wikipedia:There is no deadline. Dru of Id (talk) 11:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Category:The West Wing stubs erroneously includes a number of articles that don't qualify as stubs, but stubs aren't the issue here. There were suggestions at the DRV that the article be recreated at Drought Conditions (West Wing episode) although this was never done. There is no disambiguation page for "Drought conditions" so the only way to find this article is to use the correct capitalisation. If you use incorrect capitalisation (Drought conditions or drought conditions) you end up at Drought, which has no link to the subject of this AfD. In the event that this article were to be retained, it should really be moved, with Drought Conditions becoming a redirect to Drought conditions, which should be a disambiguation page. However, it seems a waste of time moving this article now when it's just as easy to create Drought Conditions (West Wing episode) as a redirect if this article is deleted again. As for ratings, in the event that somebody decided to add them, there are additional fields in {{Episode list}} so that the ratings could be added to the season articles, where'd they'd make more sense than in individual episode articles because they could be easily be compared against each other. However, nobody seems interested in improving The West Wing episode and season articles. A few weeks ago I discovered that a season 6 article existed, although it wasn't linked to from List of The West Wing episodes. Instead, episode lists that existed in both The West Wing (season 6) and The West Wing (season 7) were duplicated (almost) in List of The West Wing episodes. I've since corrected duplication and numerous other errors in both season articles and transcluded the lists to List of The West Wing episodes.[18][19] I've also created articles for the first 5 seasons and reworked List of The West Wing episodes completely.[20] Despite all this work, nobody has shown any interest except when I started sorting out the episode articles. There just doesn't seem to be any interest in bringing the articles up to an appropriate standard. While you might be correct in stating there is no deadline, as lovely as that essay is, it doesn't mean we should allow articles that fail to meet basic requirements stay alive forever, especially when nobody seems interested in improving them. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:15, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- I was the one who split these articles out a million years ago (was it really 2006...). I'd like to see all of the individual articles merged into season pages, as I believe individual articles are unnecessary and no longer the best approach. Selectively deleting episodes (which has already happened) is a terrible approach. --MZMcBride (talk) 14:55, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- With no help, or interest in helping it seems (only criticism), I'm already merging articles. This one though was problematic. There has been no selective deleting of articles. No articles have been deleted at all at this point. --AussieLegend (talk) 15:04, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Simmer down.
You're the one creating a deadline. Which is fine, but then you can meet it yourself. Merging these articles is something that should be done eventually, but I see no rush.
I believe another individual episode article has been deleted previously and remains deleted. I'd tell you which one exactly, but there are other things I need to be doing right now. You personally have also nominated or proposed several articles for deletion recently, so I'm not sure why you're trying to suggest otherwise (or coming dangerously close to suggesting otherwise).
What, exactly, is exceptional about this article? So much so that it should not even be a redirect. --MZMcBride (talk) 15:30, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- I'm not creating a deadline at all. The articles have been sadly lacking for some time and I've only recently discovered that. Rather than procrastinate though, I've set about trying to correct the problems. The episodes that I've prodded have not been chosen selectively as you've suggested. They've been chosen in simple alpha-numeric order. As I indicated on your talk page,[21] I've been going through the articles progressively. The reason why this article has been nominated is explained in the first paragraph of the nomination. Its conversion to a redirect was opposed by an editor who says that unless we merge all of the articles we can't get rid of any.[22] --AussieLegend (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Well, I appreciate all of the work you've put in so far and I trust that you'll make the appropriate decisions necessary to improve the encyclopedia. I can't imagine I'll have any time to help (life has changed quite a bit since 2006 ;-) but I wish you luck in your cleanup efforts. I still believe that every episode has enough notability to warrant being mentioned here somewhere (in season lists, preferably) and that consistent treatment of the individual episodes is important. --MZMcBride (talk) 17:29, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]

Oh, this was the article that was previously deleted. Twice, I think. Not sure how it came back. Not particularly surprising that it did, though. It makes no sense to have articles on every episode except one. I'm still completely unclear why deletion would be better than redirection here. If it's just a sourcing issue, that seems fairly easy to resolve. --MZMcBride (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Keep Consistency is a virtue, especially within handling a series. I think this is possibly a series that does warrant such extended treatment, but even if I thought otherwise, I would never consider omitting one episode. (Including a separate article on one particularly notable episode of a series can be another matter, but if most episodes are notable, its simpler to handle them all similarly than argue on each of them. The reason against redirection is that the information contained in list of episodes articles or sections is inadequate for understanding and therefore not encyclopedic . DGG ( talk ) 06:40, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[]
- What you've said really doesn't seem to make much sense. The encyclopaedic content from several of the 136 related articles that fail WP:PLOT and or fail to establish notability of the subject has been quite easily merged into the episode list articles which seem entirely adequate for understanding, since they contain exactly the same information that was in the episode articles. Deletion or redirection doesn't omit one episode, there are several that are now quite rightly redirects, and a few that have been deleted. The content still exists, it's just now easier to get to from the season articles. This particular article is nothing more than a unreferenced plot summary that fails to establish notability, and all encyclopaedic content is now in the season article, so what does this article provide that the season article does not? The answer is nothing, and our policies and guidelines say it shouldn't exist. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[]
- You're assuming what you need to prove, that this material is not encyclopedic. How extensive plot information should be is not something on which there is real agreement here, but my rule of thumb is that it must at least be enough so that a casual viewer who did not see the episode can maintain continuity, or a non-viewer follow a discussion about the story lines without seeming stupid. The information in most episode lists does not do so. The information in many episode articles contains a somewhat too much, usually not very well presented. The choice is fuller lists, or shorter articles. Experience here shows that if we go to the list option, the content will inevitably be reduced below the level of intelligibility. DGG ( talk ) 01:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[]
- I'm not assuming anything, I just think your logic and arguments are a little skewed. For example, your claim that there is no real agreement over the extent of plot information is not completely true. {{Episode list}} specifies 100-300 words while WP:TVPLOT specifies "200 to 500 words" for an episode article and "approximately 100–200 words" for a season article "with upwards of 350 words for complex storylines". That's the current agreement. Comparison of the length of plot summaries in episode and season articles does not apply here, since the plot summary in both articles is identical. Similarly, your argument about reducing the content in the list articles doesn't apply. The plot summaries in the episode articles are generally well within
{{Episode list}}
's 100-200 word recommendation (Drought Condition is 193 words) so there's no need to prune and, so far, the response to cleaning up the lists has been minimal. Nobody seems interested in doing anything, let alone prune episode lists. Your arguments to keep this redundant article are based on issues that don't exist. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[]

- Keep per DGG and per consensus at the recent DRV. I know it's a pain, but if you want to delete these articles, you're going to have to do it en masse. As I said back then: Wikipedia doesn't need to cover individual episodes, but given that we do, we can't leave readers wondering what happened between "Freedonia" and "A Good Day," because that detracts from our coverage of the series and is worse than just having a season-by-season episode list with external links to more detail. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 06:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[]

- comment. I will rephrase part of my earlier comments since Polisher of Cobwebs felt they were too personal: The article has enough references to meet wikipedia notability standards, and that's enough to end this fruitless polemic. Any further demand beyond the notability standards, like that the article should "elaborate" to better explain the topic to someone, is undue and should not be expected in an AfD. It is also my impression that some comments in this AfD are based on no knoledge of this topic or "continental philosophy" in general; when that is the case, I think it would be more transparent if users began their comments with "I don't know anything in this field, but...".--Sum (talk) 13:07, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Ah, a personal attack rephrased to make it seem potentially not a personal attack and therefore just acceptable. I won't remove it, but I don't have any trouble understanding what it is, and nor will other editors. You are entitled to your view that other editors are ignorant kids, but per WP:NPA, you aren't entitled to state it. If your case were really convincing, you wouldn't need to stoop to this kind of stuff. To the extent the article is about anything at all, it's about Ricœur's ideas.

- Keep. A Google search indicates that Weber has been a speaker at Christian men's events throughout the United States. I wasn't able to find publication numbers that I was sure I could trust, but there are enough references to his Tender Warrior as "popular" or as "best-selling" to persuade me that it sold fairly well. (The "Publisher's Description" at Christianbook.com claims that over 365,000 copies have been sold.) Weber and his works, notably TW, are cited at some length in several academic studies of the Promise Keepers and of the Christian men's movement generally, e.g. this article in Social Thought and Research, and this and this in Sociology of Religion (the journal, not the Weber book). I think there's been enough coverage, both in and outside of the Christian press, to satisfy WP:GNG. Ammodramus (talk) 03:56, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[]

Hmm two questions
1) How do I provide the claim of notability?
2) As I told you before, I am the owner of the project and the whole content hosted on the http://code.google.com/p/opencloth page. You can verify this by looking through the samples which clearly state in the license that I am the owner of it. Moreover, you can also check that all the commits are being done by me (mmmovania).
3) The project was highlighted in the news on OpenGL.org(http://www.opengl.org/news/permalink/opencloth-a-collection-of-source-codes-implementing-cloth-simulation-algori/) and Geeks3D(http://www.geeks3d.com/20110825/opencloth-a-collection-of-cloth-simulation-algorithms/), the two premier website for realtime graphics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmmovania (talk • contribs) 10:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Keep per meeting WP:ANYBIO... in spades. Two Visual Effects Society Awards nominations and one win. One Satellite Awards nomination. Two Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards nominations. One Online Film Critics Society Awards nomination. One Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards nomination. Eight BAFTA Awards nominations, and one win. Nine Saturn Awards nominations and win. Five Academy Awards nominations and one win. While article will benefit from expansion, we do not delete stubs because they are stubs with a simply claim of WP:JNN. We instead look to see if notability criteria are met and then perhaps tag the article for improvements. And in case we hear arguments here that "some" his repeated shared nominations and wins are non-notable beacuse they were presented to several other involved in that same creative effort, he also has many accolades awarded to him alone. And in the other cases, awards are not all somehow diminshed when shared, as they are awarded to recognize significant achievment, and it only reasonable that awarding agencies present such to all those whose creative efforts are deemed worthy of recognition, even if it means they award the efforts of two or three individuals for those creative efforts.

As far as I can tell this list is an out-growth of the sporting rivalry between these cities; the list serves no useful purpose. The selection of sports appears entirely arbitrary. The placement of teams within cities is also arbitrary (for example the St. George Illawarra Dragons has two stadia, neither of which are in the City of Sydney). These teams, cities and sports competitions all appear to have sufficient in-depth coverage, categories, lists and wikiprojects without the need to resort to this list.

- Delete By challenged, I think is meant "reasonably challenged", and the reliability of a source for material depends upon the nature of the material. We do not normally require a third party source for routine information about an organization, unless there is some reason to suspect it. The existence of this room as part of the church can be supported by their own web site; that a church should have a room for prayer is not exactly controversial. But there is nothing distinctive about this room; everything said here about it in the present version is already in the main article. The earlier material about the symbolism of the room is not encyclopedic content. It might be for a famous building, but then there would be third party sources. I do not consider it a likely redirect, either; anyone likely to think of it will already know this church. Having a separate article on it amounts in my opinion to promotionalism. (I leave aside for the moment the question about whether the church itself is notable, or if all the content there is defensible). DGG ( talk ) 17:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[]

Keep.The article has issues, but WP:GNG failure doesn't appear to be one of them. Some of the links in its "External links" section are iffy (the Bloomberg link, for example, looks like a straight press release), but some of the others, e.g. this Reuters piece, or this Independent piece, or this brief Institutional Investor article, which links to this Reuters piece, seem to constitute reasonably in-depth third-party coverage. Ammodramus (talk) 14:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[]- Comment - there are a couple of pieces all in a very short period of time that are basically a regurgitation of the company's press release / promotional material. This is not sufficient to establish the company as notable. This is minor / incidental coverage of the company.

This child actor certainly exists and is working, but I can't find any evidence that he is notable per our biography notability guidelines. I haven't found any articles about him, interviews with him, or really anything that isn't a simple movie listing or an aside in an article about another of the actors in one of his films. I freely admit that I am not an expert in the field but I did consult a renowned, long-standing international expert in the field of teen male actors ("Tiger Beat"), and found not a mention of him.

- Delete per reasons stated by above arguments. He has starred in some notable films, but his roles were not major enough to where I could state without a doubt that he was notable in the films. His roles weren't small or minor, but there's enough to argue that he was more of a supporting character than a major one. I did a search and couldn't find any reliable sources to show that he's gotten any coverage in the news. There's a bit of a fan following, but not enough of a big one to qualify under that part of WP:NACTOR. He's on the border of notability and non-notability but I'm going to say that he just falls shy of what's needed for an article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:10, 26 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[]
- Keep I'm finding the arguments above more conducive of this article needing improvement than for deleting it. What convinves me of notability is WP:ANYBIO and this actor being repeatedly nominated for Young Artist Awards... in 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2010. While as with any actor, he has had minor roles and one-ofs in televison series, enough of his roles found signficant to notable productions have allowed him to receive recognition for them. We have the verifiability of some of his film characters being significant to the film's storyline. Heck, even in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, his character introduces the entire storyline... remember that note young Dave was chasing? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:20, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Keep per MichaelQSchmidt, the subject appears to pass WP:ANYBIO#1 and WP:ENT#1. Furthermore, he appears to pass WP:GNG: despite the main part of his Google News entries is made of trivial mentions, there is significant coverage, as here or here Cavarrone (talk) 09:51, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[]

Lacks substantial coverage --though she does have a number of passing references -- in RSs, outside of her Pop Idol competition. My understanding is that placing 9th in a version of Pop Idol does not in itself confer notability. Epeefleche (talk) 01:46, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[]

Minor code that doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. While there's a bunch of hits for PHDL, almost none of them is related to the subject. When I typed PHDL "Brigham Young" came back with a few google hits, mostly forums and non independent sources. CSD declined though the page is obvious promotion for a person to get to use the code. Prod removed by article creator, and added another unreliable source (a slide presentation) Delete Secret account 00:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- Comment. I declined CSD because the topic appears to have some coverage in Google Scholar, depending on what the 'P' means:
Philips Hardware Description Language[28]
Python Hardware Design Framework[29]
Granted, the coverage is sparse. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]- Actually, that's coverage of a different piece of software. According to their site, it's actually Printed circuit board Hardware Description Language. A412 (Talk * C) 00:54, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- In that case, I'd say delete it if the article can't be brought up to WP:GNG standards within a week. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- Comment: Hello, I am the original author of the PHDL article but I am not an experienced Wikipedia contributor, mostly a user that corrects mistakes from time to time. I've communicated with some friends in the Open Source community and a lot of them hesitate to contribute to Wikipedia because of similar problems. There are few Google hits on PHDL because it is open source and free. No company is writing articles and generating churn about PHDL because they cannot make money from it. It is written by electronics designers for electronics designers. Personally, I am not a PHDL developer. I am a user, an early adopter and beta tester. Quite a lot of work has gone into the development of PHDL and a little work into this Wikipedia article. If you can see your way to leave the article it will be very useful when trying to explain what it is. Thanks for your consideration and best wishes. Padudle (talk) 16:42, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- We understand that, but it's very difficult for an article on a new tool open source or not is very difficult to meet WP:GNG in the first few months, thus the reason they get deleted all the time on Wikipedia unfortunately. Like I said in the talk page, you can move the article to your userpage and try to boost sources to meet the criteria when they arrive sooner or later.

- Delete. The project needs to be evaluated by secondary sources.
- First, every development project does not deserve a WP article. There needs to be some indication of significance or acceptance. Even the article does not provide such evidence. There are motherhood and apple pie claims such as maximize productivity and design reuse. Those are non-trivial issues, but there is no indication how they are achieved. How is productivity maximized? Low cost schematic editors already have hierarchy / macro expansion. SCALD had recursive expansion in the 1970s. What level of design reuse is contemplated? Technology substitutions? Through-hole/surface mount? 5V/3.3V? Module generation? Design reuse has its own collection of propagation nightmares. How are the ECO alternatives handled? How about back annotation? Many design systems (even low cost ones) have error checking abilities, but many designers (and even library parts) don't use those abilities. What error checking is done? Secondary sources are needed to show that this project has either significance or acceptance.
- Second, there are unfounded and dubious implications. Only text files can have version control? VC is important; the particular form of VC may not matter. Why the limitation to just PC board industry? Why different tools for similar problems? PCB layout issues involve a lot more than just circuit topology; how is that addressed?
- Third, the examples seem logic-centric; are analog designers going to give up schematics? Writing RTL instead of a logic schematic is one thing, but the schematic for a switching supply is something else.

- Delete Notability not really even asserted. He was the president of a football team for 8 years back in the 1920s and 1930s. I know that sports figures get some kind of automatic notability, but I don't think we have to import minor ones from outside the English-speaking world. The one notable fact, his presidency, should already be in the article on the club. Borock (talk) 01:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]

- comment the fact that he was German (and hence sources may be in German) has no bearing on whether it is encyclopedic or not. Anglophone-centricism is not policy. I say nominate the German language version for deletion at their AFD, and if that goes, this one should too. Barney the barney barney (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[]
- I'm not saying he wasn't an important person. But he doesn't seem to meet WP's general standards of notability. He might meet some special standard for sports figures, but that doesn't compel us to have an article on him. Nor does the fact that German WP has one. I don't think they have to have one on every NFL and MLB team president just because we do. Besides that the readers don't need an article just to tell them he held that job, the presidents can just be listed on the team article. Borock (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[]
