Reason Jjlayton (talk) 22:33, 22 February 2016 (UTC) As previous editors have noted, given their requests for deletion, this poet seems patently non-notable, and being Dundee's 'Makar' (a role which demands the title-holder send tweets) does not help signify anything on this already slender page. I have searched extensively online and there are very few articles out there to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia.[]

Keep The article needs some work but WP:BEFORE does not appear to have been followed here. I'm surprised at the suggestion by the nominator that not much shows up on a search. Even a basic search shows a rich spread of coverage in reliable sources. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep, per Drchriswilliams and E.M.Gregory. Article gives plenty of indications of notability. (Aside: I'm curious that a new user appears on Wikipedia and the very first thing they do is to nominate this article for deletion....) --Deskford (talk) 01:14, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete I can see from the last AfD that significant searches were made to prove notability, but as far as I see there still isn't an article / more than one article that asserts significant proof in a reliable secondary source. Fails WP:N and WP:V. Insufficient references based on reliable, third-party published sources.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.34.35.146 (talk) 13:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC) []

Strong Delete Given that previous edits show a variety of people raising this issue in the past and that it fails WP:N and WP:V, strong delete, let's not be hassled by the issue further as it'll clearly only be raised by other users in future.

Where is the "last AFD"? I see none on the talk page, none linked here. Who are the editors demanding deletion and where does Nom see their demands? I am completely puzzled. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a well-known poet,, and even a very simple news google on his name in produces prima facie support for notability, here: [1], that same google search also showed that he has gotten a lot of attention for his storng, public support for the highly controversial politician Jeremy Corbyn. Can it be that this AFD is a political battle [2] being waged at AFD?E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Strong Keep As this is a notable poet, per the multiple mentions by E.M. Gregory and Drchriswilliams. I'm not one to throw around the idea of bad faith, however I find it interesting that a new user's first edit was to create an AfD on this article, especially given the news article listed above. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:23, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete I’m just intrigued that Fellowship status is being used to support this entry. Many types of fellowship exist, and as such they don’t signify notability, otherwise many academics would require Wikipedia pages and this would be a cluttered place indeed. The existing stub is evidently weak and do the mentions kindly posted by the E.M.Gregory prove significant coverage, rather than mere mentions? I will investigate, but journalism supporting Jeremy Corbyn is not evidence for notability either, or every Guardian reporter would warrant a page. As the revision by ‘Randykitty’ on 2nd January proves, this article has been PRODded before, and the editor was advised to ‘take to AfD is necessary’. I think new arrivals on Wiki are encouraged to edit, so Jlayton’s nomination for deletion is only carrying on previous concerns by other users, so I wouldn’t presume bad faith. Saying someone is a ‘well known’ poet when evidence of this is up for dispute could smack of nepotism but I too want to preserve good faith as long as possible. 81.149.126.164 (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2016 (UTC) AdamKlay[]

Comment, editors talking about "previous afd" may be meaning this prod, anyway Keep, subject meets WP:ANYBIO and WP:CREATIVE, which is now reflected in the article, thanks to Drchriswilliams. A Gsearch brings up lots of useable references ie. he judges notable poetry prizes - "The UK's most valuable annual poetry prizes are in their 13th year and going strong." - [3], his books appear as recommended reading for university studies, here is a gsearch page that show a number of study programs - [4], here is another book review - "WN Herbert's informative and witty preface rightly urges readers simply to hurl themselves into the poems,.." [5]. Could a helpful Admin please "snowy keep" this one, as this appears to be another waste of time, although article has been improved Coolabahapple (talk) 15:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Further comment (based on recent delete comments), no, the previous proder and this nom did not edit the article or discuss notability concerns on the talkpage, nor have they appeared to carry out checks according to "2.If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources. (See step D.)" - from B. Carry out these checks of WP:BEFORE. Coolabahapple (talk) 15:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Still advising keep as above, but I have just revited this and it is worse than I had assumed. Every delete ivote is by a new, or close-to new editor, with the possible exception of User:ClaireJones19883, who has made a small number of edits (I did not look at the edits, but her User talk:Clairejones19883 and the article Claire Jones was trying to have accepted, Ruth Dugdall, was in fact added to Wikipedia by a different very low-volume editor, then edited by ClaireJones.) Back to this page, it is clear that either someone is using many accounts in an attempt to delete this page, or that this poet has enemies 4 or 5 of whom have come to Wikipedia for the purpose of voting delete on this page. It is also clear that every experienced editor who has offered an opinion has opined keep this WP:SNOWBALL. E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:19, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[]

delete as local politician with no notability at this point, although she is standing for a legislative seat. If she wins, article will have to be recreated.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:01, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete NN failed candidate. --

Delete a search for sources reveals nothing beyond minor coverage of the fact that she was standing for election. Doesn't pass the standards of WP:POLITICIAN / WP:NBIO. Bencherlite ^Talk 23:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Non-winning candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot make and reliably source a credible claim that she was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for something independent of her candidacy, then she does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until she wins the seat. But this claims nothing except candidate, and cites no sources — which means she does not get an inclusion freebie just because candidate. The article is actually missing the fact that in addition to having stood in last year's UK parliament election, she also seems to be a candidate in the forthcoming Welsh Assembly election — which means she still has a chance of getting into Wikipedia if she wins that seat, but still does not get an article just for being a candidate. Delete; no prejudice against recreation on or after May 5 if she wins. Bearcat (talk) 19:04, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[]

A quick web search seems to indicate that she's not really notable, but Highbeam does have a fair few hits. I can't see much detail about her though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:02, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Sister MAYO

Hardly any presence on Oricon. Has she charted under any of her names. Otherwise she sings on a few anime songs. Not sure whether that is enough to keep her around. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:53, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Withdrawn by nominator She has a single solo hit that charted, but was also involved in a band/group Project R that has reached top ten.

Comment

"The Power of Love" (1997, among Cyber Nation Network) #94

"Love Tropicana Final" (2003, solo) #108

"Enjin First Lap" (double A-side with Engine Sentai Go-onger) (2008, Project.R(Takayoshi Tanimoto, Sister Mayo, Kenichiro Oishi) wih Enjin Kids) #4
"Enjin Second Lap (Turbo Custom)" (2008, Project.R（Hideaki Takatori, Mayumi Gojo, Takayoshi Tanimoto, Sister Mayo, Kenichiro Oishi) with Enjin Kids) #39
"Super Sentai Hero Getter" (double A-side with Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger) (2011, Project.R (Tsuyoshi Matsubara, Hideyuki Takahashi, Yoffy, Imajo, Hideaki Takatori, Sister Mayo, Takayoshi Tanimoto, NoB, Takafumi Iwasaki, Kenichiro Oishi, Hiroaki Kagoshima, 、Mayumi Gojo, Saki Oshitani) #9
"Jonetsu (We Are Bothers)" (2012, among Hero Music All Stars) #56

Between her Cyber Nation Network, solo and Project.R work there definitely seems to be an argument for notability (especially the "Enjin First Lap" single), but only really if the article has enough content to warrant it. --Prosperosity (talk) 03:33, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Comment @AngusWOOF: Did you check the sources used in her Japanese wiki article? [6] - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:27, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Thanks. That might be enough to keep it around. I'll withdraw for now and see if we can get someone to translate and reference that. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:14, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Seth MacFarlane's fictional universe

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

I thought it was odd, that the article doesn't mention anything that says how the shows are connected; how they're part of the same fictional universe. As far as I can tell from Google search results, there actually isn't a fictional universe based upon Seth MacFarlane's work. This is either WP:OR or WP:SYNTH. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 21:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete Apparently it was originally listed for speedy deletion but the creator of the article asked for 30 days to make the article better.

Well I'm seeing a bit of press coverage: eg [8], [9], but I'm not seeing much to suggest it is really notable. JMWt (talk) 20:42, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Biased keep: I've been on Wikipedia a long time, but always steered clear of AfD. Today I decided to look into nominating Indeterminacy in concurrent computation for deletion (the original contributor Carl Hewitt was banned from Wikipedia for life around 2009; as a working computer scientist, I find this article too hairy to salvage, but I've decided I'm not going to pony up for the AfD process having looked at it).

When I came here I was more than mildly shocked to see Delta Waterfowl up for deletion. My wife once worked there (Manitoba) long ago (predator management phase). My impression is that within the wetland conservation community, Delta Waterfowl is far from non-notable. Think of it this way. A not-for-profit can spend its donations on self-promotion (many sources, few accomplishments) or it can go the other direction (fewer sources, more accomplishments). Are we here to punish them for spending less on their publicity engine than they otherwise might have? Disease, meet master.

Delta Waterfowl: Growing ducks, speaking up, gaining members (2004)

Delta Waterfowl's research data, in many cases, has been the cornerstone of duck and geese understanding. Such research was the impetus for establishing a spring breeding survey. Most of the basic understanding about prairie breeding ecology and even winter ecology has been a result of Delta Waterfowl research.
...
"When you look at administrative and overhead, Delta Waterfowl is about as skinny as you'll find," says Devney.

Both of those statements accord with my personal perspective, one step removed, for what it's worth. On the flip side, the organization is extremely inbred, with membership consisting almost exclusively of duck hunters. — MaxEnt 20:54, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Footnote: just for the record, the fabulous little marbled polecat article (obscure species, referenced to the hilt) came out of my wife's relationship with a scientist who once worked there, from long ago when I encouraged her to take a stab at this new thing. He was typical of many interns who once went through that program. — MaxEnt 21:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep. HighBeam and GNews searches turn up substantial coverage including articles in The Commercial Appeal ("Delta Waterfowl and Ducks Unlimited are the two most significant waterfowl conservation groups in the country.") [10], The Star Tribune [11][12], Winnipeg Free Press [13], Daily Herald [14]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep per above and WP:CLUB. Yep, what's good is that we're not seeing coverage from just one particular state or province and of course the statement made by The Commercial Appeal about this being on par with Ducks Unlimited helps, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:45, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Subject is not genuinely notable, and original page was created as a vanity page by a close colleague of the subject, User:Aero777.

Delete : I acknowledge and accept the above verdict from User:Jonathan A Jones. Until subject can satisfy WP:Notability and more reliable references can be procured in the long-term, the article G.

Just to re-affirm, Dr. Kogelen hopes that the page G. Kogelen Govindasamy could be deleted as soon as possible, as it is causing significant misunderstanding among his colleagues.

Delete at best and only draft & userfy if needed as none of this better satisfies the web notability. SwisterTwister talk 07:25, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete unless better sources are found and included or presented here to establish notability clearly. At presnet the StilSoft source is the only one that looks both reliable and in-depth. The Favio Genovese source is a blog. The QuaTest. source includes the phrase "As beta testers, we are working very closely the Kanoah team." It is not independent. The G2Crowd source looks to be user-generated content and hence not reliable for Wikipedia. The QA Testing Tools source is rather brief, and seems to be based on a press release. The Advandus source includes the text "Advandus is available in an advisory capacity as an official partner of Kanoah for the success of your projects." and so is also not independent. We need independent published reliable sources to establish notability, with some depth of coverage. DES ^(talk) 02:29, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete as per the above. WP:USUAL applies, of course - if the system gets more notice in independent, reliable sources (as defined by our policies), then perhaps an article might work. Unfortunately, we're not there yet. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 21:21, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[]

The result was Snow keep. The topic unto itself is notable; to the extent that sources may differ on what counts as whitewashing, our article should outline the disagreement, per the WP:BALANCE section of the NPOV policy. Father Goose (talk) 21:43, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[]

List of films featuring whitewashed roles

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

What is considered whitewashing often varies by source, and therefore this article is not from a NPOV. For example, Argo is listed here, and while it is true that there was controversy over the casting, Mendez, the person Affleck portrayed, has said that he does not identify as Hispanic.

Keep since the notability of the topic is demonstrated by multiple reliable sources shown in the article. In fact, Gods of Egypt opening this weekend has been written about because of its whitewashing. In addition to the sources seen in the "References" section, there are even more listed at Talk:List of films featuring whitewashed roles#References to use. Editor is being highly abrasive in wanting to delete any mention of this topic on Wikipedia because they have a concern about one film being listed. AfD is not cleanup. If the topic is clearly notable, and the actual content can be improved, then deletion is absolutely not warranted. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:21, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]
As TriiipleThreat articulated below, films that have been debated about back and forth have the different perspectives represented in the article. For example, Ridley Scott justifies the whitewashing of Exodus: Gods and Kings, and his statement is included with the film's entry. The same applies for various other films where such commentary exists (e.g., Hud). Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:28, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

I apologize, I thought that the Argo entry mentioned Tony Mendez's statement. I've expanded the entry to include his statement, like other entries have involved parties' statements when they are responses to the criticisms. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:35, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

This topic was even covered by John Oliver last night; see Variety. Many of the films (if not all) that appeared in his episode also appear in this list. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:34, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep: The list is well referenced and exceeds our general notability guidelines. Our only responsibility is that the list is free of original research and written from a neutral point of view, which it appears to be. The example the nominator mentions is verified by multiple citations. Although the subject in this particular example may not consider himself Hispanic, the sources clearly state that the role has been whitewashed. It might be worth noting the subject's opinion but this is an issue that can be resolved by normal editing.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Speedy keep per failure to perform WP:BEFORE. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]
- That's not a speedy keep criterion. WP:BEFORE is not mandatory and is actually largely discredited. Reyk _YO! 12:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]
  - Reyk, curious to ask, how is WP:BEFORE largely discredited? Editors don't have to check for a topic's notability before putting it up for AfD? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:22, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]
    - This was discussed here, and the consensus was that WP:BEFORE is not mandatory. It was also widely felt that WP:BEFORE was, and is, too often used as a club to attack nominators. There were also concerns about it being filled with unhelpful and unproductive hurdles. Reyk _YO! 14:36, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]
      - Thanks for the link! I'm fine with that consensus. I usually bring up WP:BEFORE to ask the nominator to do some brief research before nominating (for their future edits). While it may be too late at a given AfD, hopefully it has meant that the editor will review future discoveries more closely and nominate only the articles that really warrant it. Agree that it should not be a mandatory practice but rather just a best practice for long-term editors. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:45, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep- per all above. Disagreeing about one entry on a list does not mean deleting the whole thing. Reyk _YO! 12:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

I am troubled as I am at other articles I see at AFD by the lack of definition. The first sentence of the lede makes a sweeping statement. The second sentence mentions African-Americans. So is the topic American films or films? Does it include the Bollywood films that prefer Kashmiri and Indian Jewish actors because their skin is whiter than the nation as a whole? Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Spanish, Italian and Latin American film industry preferences for whiter complexioned actors and, more dramatically, whiter complexioned actresses in countries with large ranges of skin-tone?E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]
E.M.Gregory, there used to be a sentence stating that this was common as part of the film industry in the United States. I've recalled it to life. I have not seen any coverage about Bollywood films in searching for coverage about whitewashing. That might need to be a distinct topic regarding skin tone in film, maybe the same umbrella as for advertising in general. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:50, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

To follow up, I found this, "In India's movie industry, the world's largest, scripts often follow a strict skin-to-character correlation, with light-skinned actresses in the major roles and dark-skinned actresses relegated to supporting characters." So there is definitely opportunity to write about this topic. However, I don't think it falls under the same umbrella as this whitewashing, which is Western-focused. It could be linked as a tangential topic in the "See also" section. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:57, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

@Erik: They use a different term, which I cannot recall; life would be easier if Brits Aussies, and English-speaking Indians spoke American. It is discussed, there and in several other countries. In some, including India, it also discussed in the context of those horrible, and dangerous, skin treatments young actresses put on their faces to "whiten" the skin. shudder. I do think a definition in the lede specifying that this article describes a practice in the American film industry is necessary.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:07, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Speedy keep Whitewashing in Hollywood is absolutely a notable subject. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:46, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Comment: It seems like one of the main issues with the article is really the title - that these are alleged cases of whitewashing. How about just retitling it to something like List of films featuring roles described as whitewashing or something like that? The list itself starts with the claim "Films in the list below have been described as whitewashed" and retitling it would reflect on this rather than making it sound like an absolute.

Delete. Local government does not confer an automatic WP:NPOL pass on every local councillor who exists, being an as yet unelected candidate for higher office doesn't boost her includability at all, and the only source here is a primary source profile on her own political party's website — and even a politician who has a clean NPOL claim still doesn't get to keep that kind of article based on that kind of sourcing. No prejudice against recreation if she wins the seat in the upcoming election, but nothing here gets her an article today. Bearcat (talk) 21:37, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete Ran a Proquest search just to check, a couple of hundred articles about her, sehe is clearly a very competent politician, stepped down from her cabinet her job running the schools, youth services in the 3-county region (pop. ~172,000) to run. As Finton100 says, the article will very likely have to be recreated after the polls close.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:58, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Given she's contesting prime Plaid Cymru territory, perhaps it would make more sense to draft / userfy the article, until the election's over? I recall a similar thing happening to Mhairi Black; you could almost pinpoint the precise moment at the 2015 General Election where she went from borderline speedy to obvious WP:POLITICIAN.

User:Bearcat, can that be done? There's an obvious functionality to it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:00, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Yes, that's absolutely an option as well. However, I foresee the definite danger that if we do that, it will be deemed as establishing a precedent that any premature article about an as-yet-unelected candidate for office can always be kept in draftspace pending the results of the election — so then draftspace would turn into exactly the repository of campaign brochures for political candidates that we're trying to prevent mainspace from becoming. So it's worth remembering that we do also have the option of simply restoring the deleted article after election day if she wins, which runs a lot less risk of setting a dangerous precedent. Bearcat (talk) 21:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

I agree with Bearcat here. I was going to make a similar suggestion myself, but then thought of the issue of setting a precedent. I don't think we should go down this road for precisely the reasons Bearcat outlined. Far better to delete for now, and then restore if/when necessary. Frinton100 (talk) 23:10, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Redirect to the election article. Should she lose, this is what we'd do anyway. Should she win, undoing it will be easy. In the mean time, we avoid the potential of having a keep-as-draft precedent.

Delete: Highbeam searches identify unrelated "Cool Beans" ventures in various countries, but only a brief Coventry Evening Telegraph mention (2001) for this firm: [18] – via HighBeam (subscription required) . There is also the complication of a current Cool Beans Productions website, also based in Sheffield [19] but started 8 years after this firm ceased and apparently unrelated. That leaves reliance on the references in the article. The best is probably the Edge magazine feature, which does not appear to be available on their website search, but overall there does not seem to be enough to sustain an article as per WP:CORPDEPTH.

Hornsea (disambiguation)

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

Disambiguation page for articles whose names are not ambiguous. I don't believe the plain word "Hornsea" is used to refer to e.g. the Hornsea Wind Farm. Per MOS:DABNOENTRY. The creator of the page previously contested a proposed deletion. -- intgr [talk] 09:22, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

~~Mild~~ Keep: The pottery is definitely known as "Hornsea" -example http://chinasearch.co.uk/buy/hornsea/cornrose/ - though could perhaps be done by a hatnote. The others are partial titles, but of the sort which commonly are allowed onto dab pages. Given that there are two "Hornsea Station"s, it's useful to have this dab page which distinguishes them. ~~The wind farm ... no, can't really justify.~~ There seems to exist a Hornsea Town FC, but the only mention in Wikipedia is its reserves team playing in East Riding County League. PamD 09:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Found the FC, playing in Humber Premier League, and added to dab page. PamD 09:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

And if you look at Hornsea Wind Farm the refs all refer to it as "Hornsea", "Hornsea 1", "Hornsea Project" etc, so I think it has a valid place in the dab page. PamD 09:30, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

@PamD: The chinasearch.co.uk link is irrelevant. Like you can read from the Hornsea Pottery article, the pottery business went out of business in 2000, so their products wouldn't be sold online in 2016. The "Hornsea" there refers to "Hornsea Patterns", see http://chinasearch.co.uk/buy/hornsea/ -- intgr [talk] 09:41, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Hornsea is massively collectable, in a 60s-retro-chic sort of way; everyone's parents had it. Just look on ebay. (Perhaps has to be ebay.co.uk rather than ebay.com) PamD 09:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep. I'm wondering if intgr is familiar with the way dab pages are being used, as all or most items on that page could be (colloquially) called Hornsea. Besides, the dab page isn't even the primary topic. --Midas02 (talk) 06:23, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[]
Yes, I'm familiar with disambiguation pages, including the reasons why, for example, the Sydney (disambiguation) page doesn't include a link to Sydney Opera House. -- intgr [talk] 00:56, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Well, that's not the same. The opera house would be a clear partial match, the items on that page aren't. The railway stations are typically included on dab pages (he took the train at Hornsea), the football club as well (they played Hornsea). Leaves the pottery, which I wouldn't include, but PamD refuted that, and the wind farm, which is borderline, but given the shortness of this page, I would err towards leaving it. --Midas02 (talk) 02:23, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Council of International Students Australia

Mostly a directory, this article lacks the sourcing to suggest this organization is notable, and such organizations are certainly not automatically notable. Drmies (talk) 21:43, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep. This is the national representative body for international students in Australia, and a major policy organisation in issues relating to higher education. This set of nominations are utterly bizarre: Drmies is running around nominating organisations with long histories and detailed book and newspaper coverage going back decades; it takes only the tiniest of knowledge of the subject to know that the collapse of this organisation's direct predecessor made very memorable national news, and in this case I found about ten major newspaper articles specifically about it in the first three pages of Google. I know he's a prominent editor, but this is the sort of set of nominations that deserves a block for disruption. (For context, this editor nominated the Monash University student union, an organisation with a UC Berkeley-like history that is ridiculously well reported on in all manner of sources, for speedy deletion, which shows the level of diligence that went on beforehand.) The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[]
- This editor is trying to make this personal? I see no actual arguments here for keeping it, like links to discussion of the subject in reliable sources. If the editor wishes to argue that this nomination is somehow in bad faith, and that somehow I need to be blocked for nominating this horribly poorly referenced articles that consists mostly of chatter and directory information, I'll wait for the ANI nomination. Drmies (talk) 01:33, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]
  - Again, you nominated one of the most historically significant and heavily written about (in books and journals, etc.) student unions in the southern hemisphere for speedy deletion, and when I approached you on your talk page responded with this. It may well be poorly referenced, and on Wikipedia we have a specific tag for that purpose to alert other editors to the issue: people acting in genuine good faith don't usually mass nominate every article in the broad subject area for deletion without the slightest attempt at research or regard to (or even interest in) notability. The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:31, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]
  - And, if you *had* acted in good faith, in this case, you might have turned up things like this about them directly, this article specifically focusing on their latest campaign, this article about their internal workings, this on another issue they raised, and many examples like this of them being quoted on any mainstream media about international students. I found these in a five-minute Google News search (CISA being the newest of the organisations you targeted and the easiest to cover online), but I use it to demonstrate the utter lack of even a basic Google you did before blanket nominating the entire sector for speedy deletion or AfD. The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:41, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Comment - You said "...organisations with long histories and detailed book and newspaper coverage going back decades; it takes only the tiniest of knowledge of the subject to know that the collapse of this organisation's direct predecessor made very memorable national news..."

This organization was formed in 2010 according to the article. That's not a long history. What happened to this organization's predecessor lends no automatic notability to the subject of this article, as notability is not inherited. However, you apparently have found a few good references, so perhaps those could be added to the article, as it has none right now that show evidence of notability. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:37, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep. Unquestionable keep, meets WP:PROF as an expert in his field on two grounds: first, on the basis of the citation record: his most cited papers have 876, 848, 413, 235, 188, 183 citations. Even in biomedicine where citation s are high, 2 papers with over 100 citations each has always been enough here to show status as an expert, and this is many times that. His expert status is also shown by being the director of a major laboratory at one of the most important medical schools in the world. citations. the article is incompetent, and was clearly written in ignorance of our practices and our standarda, but it should have been fixed, not nominated for deletion.

List of fictional universes in games

Seems to fail WP:LISTN as the set of items "fictional universes in games" does not, as a wide topic of interest, have reliable sources. The list will never be complete (or thorough!) without inclusion of every universe; even taking into account that we should probably only include notable universes, this list is also seems to violate WP:NOT in its trivial intersection of fictional universes in games.

Merge with List of fictional towns in video games to create List of fictional locations in video games. See the AfD for the list of towns for my justification/sources. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete per Izno. A list article of "universes" is not needed, it works better as a category. For instance, listed here are fictional worlds like Warcraft#Azeroth, the city Rapture (BioShock) and campaign settings like Hârn. A lot of these are redirects to the games they belong to, like Dragonstar, Shadow World and Gensokyo. This list is near-inexhaustive; besides the fact that fictional universes like Middle-earth and the Star Wars universe also appear in games, we could also wonder if games like Mass Effect (supposedly in "our" Galaxy) are "fictional". I've nominated Hero Universe for deletion as well. --Soetermans. T / C 15:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]
- @Soetermans: Per WP:NOTDUP categories and lists aren't in competition, but more importantly nobody says it has to be exhaustible or that it has to be limited to "universes". There are an awful lot of sources about game universes, game cities, game locations, etc. as a general concept such that the list subject is, in general, notable. List-level inclusion criteria can prevent it from becoming a free-for-all where people add every arbitrary level of every Mario Brothers game. There are lots of notable game worlds which are notable as a universe/location beyond the game itself. That it doesn't make sense to cover them in a stand-alone article doesn't mean they're not notable (e.g. Liberty City outside of GTA: Liberty City -- it doesn't make sense to cover them separately, but there are tons of sources about the city Liberty City as it exists in the game. It would be easy to state as a requirement that anything included in list of fictional locations in video games must be accompanied by sources to demonstrate notability of the location. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]
  - (I'm just going to copy and paste my other comment) It would be inexhaustive. To give you an example: The Elder Scrolls are set on the planet Nirn (IGN, GamesRadar, PC Gamer). The games take place on the continent Tamriel (Engadget, Time), which consists of 9 provinces. Morrowind was set in Morrowind, (Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Eurogamer) Oblivion is set in Cyrodiil (Game Informer, Game Zone). It didn't took me long to look up these fictional locations, and I'm not even at the town, cities or encampments. And this is just one video game series. --Soetermans. T / C 15:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]
    - I'll just reply there and hope people follow the link. No sense in having parallel conversations. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:04, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete as discussed at WT:VG. As expected, another list with a vague scope collects a ton of cruft. If we had a defined set of "fictional universes" or even "fictional locations" in video games, there wouldn't be much of an issue, but right now there are so few independently notable that the ones that are are best tracked by a category. The proposed list here would collect every location that has ever been covered by a source, even if it isn't independently notable. Soetermans's second reply above nails the scope issues. czar 02:28, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[]

This indeed a work in progress, albeit a very important one. A three-day meeting, attended by what was characterized in the announcement as "a small and select group of experts" (about 40), was held last week at the Fields Institute in Toronto with the goal of making progress towards such a library.

The main question was how mathematical knowledge should be represented in such a library. The main obstacle is that there are already a number of well-tested languages that are arguably suitable for this purpose, but it is not obvious how to fit them all to a common semantic framework.

The importance of this goal, and the significant amount of effort being made towards it, should hopefully counterbalance the absence to date of a single central library. It's an extremely interesting problem, otherwise Ingrid Daubechies (who is not herself a semantics person) would not be paying it this much attention.

Redirect, or delete. Can redirect to a mention in another article on the general problem, probably Digital curation. I will add mention there. In this article there is no real content, ie there is nothing to merge. The topic of digital curation, or wikipedia's article, seems largely oriented to the problem of librarians staying employed, but also allows for specialist groups of non-librarians to make material useful, which is apparently the goal for this potential project. Focus on the challenge and potential. If a paragraph or stub article is focused on the nonexistent "library" then it is like a movie that is in early development, might not happen, and is TOOSOON for a Wikipedia article. Also, Wikipedia is not a place to post announcements or to provide links to members of a committee, task forces, or club. A person's name should be included in an encyclopedia article only if they are extraordinarily involved in a way that is clearly explained, in general. --do ncr am 22:40, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep I see this article as being about an important open problem at the boundary of mathematics and knowledge engineering. The problem is currently best identified under the name of its desired solution, namely a global digital mathematics library. The workshop held February 3-5 this year at the Fields Institute, now mentioned in the article, gave a good idea of how difficult it will be for stakeholders such as Wolfram Research, Maplesoft, Mathworks, etc. to agree on a common semantic framework for such a library. What justifies having a Wikipedia article about what might seem at first sight like just another digital library is the importance of having a globally accepted semantic representation language for mathematical knowledge. This makes it a bit like one of the Clay Prize problems but with the answer being a language instead of yes or no. Vaughan Pratt (talk) 19:19, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep. Or "speedy keep". This is a serious and good article based appropriately at the common name for these. It is clear about what it is, not misleading, and it includes a list of formal VSAs that are associations of having many chapters each. It is good to have a combo article providing context, history, and reducing need for separate short articles. There do exist associations that are formally related. And if all VSAs really were completely independent (I think not true) it would be worthwhile for an article to state that, about how they differ from student associations like honor societies and Greek partying and living clubs and ethnic/racial affiliated societes that have some loose national government.

Politically it would be not smart for Wikipedia to delete this, wiping out coverage of Vietnamese students, their organizations, their struggles (see mention of controversy at Cal State Fullerton for example). This could be like wiping out coverage of black student groups and civil rights struggles. When Wikipedia has vast coverage of Greek societies. See Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by college and browse up and down in category tree. The nommed article has content; compare to List of fraternities and sororities at George Mason University which has nothing but links to national Greek societies, many being arguably frivolous relative to issues of Vietnamese-Americans. Maybe this is an East coast vs West coast thing? Huge concentration of Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Americans in Southern California. I could imagine seeing media coverage of Wikipedia blowing this, akin to how media blew up issue of American novelists not including women ones. :(. My view is practical not "P.C.". Don't blow it.

And was the article read? It is not bad. The Nom has an opinion about editing in the lede, and maybe a good one, but that is an issue for talk page not AFD. --do ncr am 01:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[]

declined prod. fails WP:GNG.

Notable. The sourcing available satisfies GNG and being the fourth largest is certainly an indicator of notability.

Erica Roby

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

This is a non-notable actress with no significant coverage to be found. She was only in mockbusters made by the Asylum and all sources currently listed here are sources from the Asylum website and IMDb pages. edtiorEهեইдအီးËეεઈדוארई電子ಇអ៊ី전자ഇī😎 03:41, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Comment: Well... if we can prove notability for the films and show that she played major enough roles, that would be enough to assert notability even if she was only in Asylum films. That said, sourcing Asylum articles can be difficult since they either get a ton of coverage or none. I'll see what I can find. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:54, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Weak keep. Here's a rundown of the films:

Hillside Cannibals barely passes NFILM. Roby is one of the first billed on IMDb.

The Exorcism doesn't seem to pass, but she's the central actress and named in the sole review I could find.

Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse looks like it may pass, but Roby is not one of the top billed performers.

Apocalypse doesn't seem to pass NFILM, Roby is mildly high up on the billing list. (Apocalypse article could redirect to the Asylum article, where it's mentioned.)

The 9/11 Commission Report fails NFILM and Roby's role appears to be very minor. This article was redirected to its director, Leigh Scott.
Halloween Night barely passes NFILM and her role is fairly high on the billing.
The Hitchhiker looks like it would pass, but Roby's role is fairly low on the billing, suggesting that it is fairly minor.
Invasion of the Pod People passes and I was surprised to find a mention in an academic text. Roby's role is central here.

The basic gist here is that she's been a major star in two Asylum films, with the remaining seven roles being supporting. Of the supporting roles, five of these are either extremely minor (meaning not within the first 5-10 people billed in the film) and/or the movie does not appear to pass notability guidelines. The remaining film, Halloween Night, has her relatively high up enough on the billing to suggest that it'd likely be a role that could contribute notability and the film barely passes NFILM. If this role was the only one I'd use to establish notability this would be a delete on my end, however she's had major roles in two films that received some coverage in RS and while one of the films doesn't pass NFILM, the fact that she received coverage does count towards notability to a certain degree. This isn't a strong keep for me and I won't be particularly upset if it gets deleted. (If deleted, it should redirect to Invasion of the Pod People, which appears to be her best known role.) However there's just enough here for her to weakly pass NACTOR as it currently stands. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:59, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[]

I am sure Tokyogirl is is very familiar with the phrase.

Keep As per WP:ARTIST notability guideline, an artist may be notable if the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. As documented by the current version of the article, Erica has played a major role in co-creating Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, Denise Richards: It's Complicated and the thirteenth season of The Amazing Race (associate producer). Further, Erica has produced Shipwreck Men and Hell's Kitchen too.[24] All of these works are creditably notable. Additionally, as per WP:ENTERTAINER notability guideline, an artist may be notable if the person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. As documented by the current version of the article, Erica has played significant lead roles in Exorcism: The Possession of Gail Bowers and Invasion of the Pod People. Both these works are also notable, being featured on Wikipedia. These are person-specific notability guidelines and do not require GNG to be immediately obtained for the person to be deemed possibly notable. Erica Roby easily passes both the guidelines mentioned by me. Thanks. Xender Lourdes (talk) 04:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete two leading roles and a variety of bit parts really isn't a significant body of work as I understand it. This person is a minor figure. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Hello Philafrenzy. You mention a significant body of work as being required for notability. But WP:ARTIST does not mention a significant body of work for possible notability. WP:ARTIST's exact words are, an artist may be notable if the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work... That guideline seems to be referring to even one single work rather than a body of work as you are referring to. Erica has contributed two leading roles and not just a single one. Also, maybe you missed it, Erica has co-created Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, Denise Richards: It's Complicated and the thirteenth season of The Amazing Race (associate producer); and has produced Shipwreck Men and Hell's Kitchen too. This is simply much more than the single a significant work requirement of the notability guideline. This again seems to be passing on the artist notability guideline. Am I wrong in assuming so? Do please help in clarifying. Xender Lourdes (talk) 18:26, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Apparent autobiographical advertisement page created and edited by subject (new user, only contributions are creating and editing this article). Appears to not be notable; references consist mainly of being listed in several "socially influential photographers" lists, blogs and a self-published biography.

Subject of article appears to not have received significant coverage in reliable sources independent of subject; the article appears to have been created as a promotional tool by the subject. Article is supported mainly by self-published sources (not recommended per BLP guidelines).

This website fails notability guidelines, where it is not talked about in a significant number of reliable sources that are independent of the subject themselves, except for one article in The Christian Post. This is a great website, where they are an invaluable source to cover the Christian hip hop subgenre of hip hop music, while this is not a reason for keeping the non-notable websites article.

Strong keep: Discussed in numerous independent reliable sources. In addition to the Christian Post article discussing the website at length, there are several other significant mentions. CBN broadcasted a piece about website, and the site has gotten some significant coverage of it's Freshmen compilations, these CCM Magazine and Wade-O Radio stories about the Freshmen 2015, for example. There also is some discussion of the site in reviews of it's King Kulture albums (see this and this for just two examples), and also some discussion of the accompanying school building project in Africa that the album sales support. In addition to that coverage, the site has partnered in events with several significant organizations, including Chris Chicago's radio show and the GMA Dove Awards. Lastly, I found two brief mentions in book sources (here and here).--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Comment Many of these Unix commands are all borderline WP:NOTMANUAL violations.

Comment I generally agree with Kvng that we should find a general solution for this kind of article. But some commands are more notable, such as those that have become associated with a wider arena, for example, uucp lead to UUCPNET. Similarly, some not-so-obvious UNIX commands have proved useful enough that they have been imitated on many other operating systems. I think these better-known commands deserve an article.

Alan Cross

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

Citations provided here either lack independence (www.alancross.ca/about-me/ et al.), reliability (BlogTO), or come from sources without at least regional circulation (the Toronto Star, Post City). The article on this person requires evidence of non-trivial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources with a broader readership base than city newspapers in order to be retained. Right now it doesn't have it, and my own search for such sources turned up nothing that looked like it would qualify— being a radio broadcaster and having a website are not evidence of notability (though sorry, Bearcat). KDS4444^Talk 00:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep: the Toronto Star typically has the highest circulation of any Canadian newspaper, so while it's got "Toronto" in the name, I believe it's a strong source. The article's current sourcing isn't great, but there are three solid articles about Cross in the Toronto Star: here, here, and here. There are also articles from the National Post, the Financial Post, and the Toronto Sun (the latter is admittedly a tabloid, but still offers some coverage). While some of these articles deal with the same topic (his relationship with Edge 102.1), I think there's enough varied discussion here to show WP:BIO notability. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 01:11, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

Keep. A sourced article about the host of multiple nationally syndicated shows. Here's another source from the Toronto Star [25] and other sources are apparent in searches.

Keep - Toronto Star coverage is significant, and other sources are find-able per above. Ajraddatz (Talk) 09:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[]

The key notability claim here isn't the fact that he's been a local radio host in regular drive time — it's the facts that (a) his longrunning radio documentary program The Ongoing History of New Music has been nationally syndicated on radio stations extending all the way across Canada, and (b) the guy's written and published several books. The only reason the sourcing is inadequate here is that the article was created in 2005, a time when our sourcing requirements were a lot looser than they are now, and just didn't get improved as quickly as our RS standards evolved — the rule really once was that no sources at all had to be cited in the article, as long as the facts were verifiable if someone went looking for verification on their own time and dime. (I agree that sounds, and was, absolutely idiotic given all we've learned since then about how determined some people are to fill Wikipedia with PR bullshit and hoaxes and attack edits — but it is the way the rules were at one time, so we have to at least try to determine if an article created that long ago is salvageable before we run it out the door for not already being fully compliant with current standards.) At any rate, he gets over 200 hits on ProQuest, which means the sourcing does exist to get this back up to snuff. They won't all be useful or substantive sources, I admit, but even if just five or six of them are actually viable that would still be enough to satisfy GNG — and more than five or six of them will be viable, because even when I add "ongoing history of new music" to the search string to filter it further I still get 65 hits which nationalize to Ottawa and Calgary and Edmonton and Vancouver and Winnipeg and Halifax and St. John's and Victoria.
