no major awards or positions. Fellowships in his organizations are usual for specialists, not high honors. I can find a few publications in Google Scholar [1]: citation count of the highest, 63, 42, 30, 30, 28, 9 . These citation counts are not significant in a biomedical science. Except for one review article, not in any of the major journals in the field, like JADA.

The purported references are trivial PR & advertorials. I assume COI is likely, since the contributor has written no other article. DGG ( talk ) 22:38, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete. Full disclosure, I'm actually the original creator here, back in 2006 when our basic notability standards for bands and our rules about sourcing were much looser than they are today. At the time, having one independently notable member was enough, as was having one track on a compilation album -- and even if it had to be sourced better than this to get a quality class promotion, a band's own primary source website about themselves was considered enough verification in and of itself to stave off outright deletion. But given all we've learned over the intervening decade, those quite rightly aren't the rules that apply in 2016 -- the basic NMUSIC claim now has to be quite a bit stronger, as does the depth of reliable source coverage. And after searching both Google and ProQuest, pretty much the only coverage I can find now is glancing acknowledgements of their existence in articles about their record label, and even the primary source website itself is now a dead link -- which means I can't add any real sourcing, or any new substance, to bring it back up to 2016 inclusion standards.

G7 only applies if the creator is the only substantive editor of the article, but my assessment of the article history was that I'm not. And even if we accept that I'm just being overly cautious and actually could G7 it myself on the grounds that the followup editors weren't really substantive enough to forestall that, I also agree with Squeamish's suggestion below that an article that's been around for a decade isn't really a good candidate for G7 — even as an admin who is a relatively active user of the speedy function, I would frankly almost never, except maybe occasionally in the most extenuating circumstances, use any speedy criterion to get rid of any article that had already been around for that long. Bearcat (talk) 16:12, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]
  • Weak delete. Well, Exclaim! has this bio/review/interview thing with Andy Swan, the lead from the band. Critically, it reveals that the band name-changed itself to The Michael Parks at some point. Two years later, they published this which doesn't make the band name/composition/history any clearer. Unfortunately, false positives are a nightmare here. Andy Swan is also the name of a Canadian politican who got rather a lot of press coverage (and means I can't even use Canadian sources to filter for what I want). Michael Parks is a really common name (and the most famous of them has a music career himself). I'm not finding anything encouraging in reliable sources for "Detective Kalita" or for "The Michael Parks" (that isn't that other Michael Parks!), but that doesn't mean I haven't missed them. I suspect that it might be easier to assemble a case for an article on Andy Swan that mentions his various groups, but even there, I'm coming up largely blank on independent reporting.

  • Delete per WP:DEL7 and WP:DEL8. Significant coverage is sorely missing here. In fact there is hardly anything in reliable sources to even verify stuff in the article. Most of the references are deceiving - I mean, one "review" was sourced to a Twitter status. Every other reference has a passing mention (if a mention at all). There is seriously not enough coverage to be able to write a verifiable NPOV article per WP:WHYN and hence it should be deleted. The musical achievements actually indicate WP:TOOSOON so I am not convinced that it passes MUSICBIO. Even if it did, it would still need require coverage for WP:V purposes, which it doesn't have. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:15, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[]

This military school appears to have only taught elementary and middle school age and I can only find 2 sources. The first is an advert in Boys' Life and the second is an article about a sexual assault scandal involving the headmaster and another teacher. It doesn't meet WP:N, WP:NGEO or WP:ORG.

This article has been in articlespace since 2008. At prima facie "it's been here since 2008" is a weak argument for keeping the article. (In my opinion, the 2008 article should have had the title just plain title Zyrion, but that's only tangential to this discussion.)

The Zyrion brand is defunct. Its brand and products were acquired by Kaseya in 2013.

Should this article be deleted? Maybe some other options?

  • Do not delete: while now defunct, Zyrion was a significant enterprise software company in *foo* about *bar*?
  • Delete: defunct, and non-notable company?
  • Delete, but include a section copied from the deleted article in Kaseya?
  • WP:REDIRECT to Kaseya?

As you can see from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Décarie Interchange, Décarie Interchange was simply turned into a redirect to Quebec Autoroute 40. I think that was the wrong outcome, since the eponymous "Autoroute Décarie" is a section within Quebec Autoroute 15. If I cared enough to wade into that I'd probably change it. When two provincial highways meet in an interchange, redirecting to just one of them doesn't make a whole lot of sense imo -- as the Decarie Afd unintentionally shows, I'd say.

Hi @Maplestrip, if that's the case, shouldn't there be an article about the concept of ".io game" exist, before there can be a list of .io games? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:48, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]
A list of works falling under a certain type can cover that if not much is to be said about the topic. I'd imagine an article titled .io game or .io games wouldn't cover any more information than this list would optimally do. To clarify, I think this list needs a "background" or "description" section, but I doubt that it can be very long. Removing the whole list would leave very little content. I personally think the list format would be the best way to handle this subject, though I am sad that the sources are so weak. ~Mable (chat) 10:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Another article from Koalition [4] talks about .io games in general and characterizes them as multiplayer games. It would be easy to miss the link in the first sentence to the article about the domain name .io. That article does not make it clear why games developers would choose that domain, which if sourceable might help us to fill in the background to this topic. Not ready to vote keep yet, but it's my feeling that this is definitely a "thing" and that since we pride ourselves on coverage of this topic area, we should try to save this if possible: Noyster (talk), 11:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]

No assertion of adequate notability. Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails general notability guidelines, WP:NPOL and WP:ANYBIO.

Based on what notability criteria? Not NPOL or ANYBIO. The only source we have for him is a list of former Chairman. What chance is there that an article on him will ever be anything than a permanent-sub-stub that says "R.S. Sarkar is a former Chairman of USPC of India"? The source in the article does not even have the years he served. That he has books in the LoC is pure WP:OR. The article claims he is dead but we have no source for that and the only indication fof his birth year is in the LoC book record which shows "1908-" which indicates he is alive. JbhTalk 16:57, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Actually we do not even have evidence he was a sivil servant. The article refers to him simply as a bureaucrat and our article on the Union Public Service Commission says "At least half of the members of the Commission are Civil Servants (working or retired) with minimum ten years of experience" so being Chairman does not imply he was a civil servant. JbhTalk 17:09, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Hair-splitting. A public servant if not actually a civil servant (although I suspect the chairman actually is a civil servant). See the second entry at WP:POLOUTCOMES. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:10, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[]
The point is that we have literally no verifiable information on him other than a listing that says that at one time he was Chairman of UPSC. Having to say "...I suspect.." about something basic relating to the fundamental claim of an article subject's notability problematic. POLOUTCOMES pt 2 says "... especially if they had an otherwise notable career." We have no idea what this person has done because we have no sources. If there were any sources that mentioned this person other than an entry on a list on the website of the department he once chaired I could be convinced otherwise based on what the sources. Even passing GNG does not require an article be kept. If there is a list of former chairman in our UPSC article a redirect would be reasonable.

Anyway, thank you for the link to POLOUTCOMES. JbhTalk 17:27, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[]

It's not enough to assert that adequate sources exist to get him over WP:GNG. You have to explicitly show that sufficient sourcing exists, preferably by actually adding it to the article (although showing the hard results of an actual search for sources in this discussion would be acceptable as well). But we don't keep a poorly sourced article just because somebody believes that better sources might exist — we can keep it only if somebody does the work and explicitly shows that better sourcing does exist. Bearcat (talk) 17:54, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Not somebody believes something, that "somebody" is the Wikipedia Community here.

And my !vote is based on the same. Anup [Talk] 05:29, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[]
My entire point being that you haven't shown that such sources do exist; you've merely asserted that there's a possibility that such sources might exist. That's not the same thing. Bearcat (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Thank you for digging up more information. It seem though that the only source independent of him is Diplomacy & Diaspora. Two of the references are just footnotes where he was cited (Which is WP:OR since no third party has commented on it.) and not about him while the others are his own books, none of which counts towards GNG. Could you give some idea of what Diaspora & Diplomacy has to say about him is it a passing mention ie is he simply listed as committee member? Or is there something in depth?

I looked at the citations given to his books to see if he might pass NAUTHOR or PROF but his 4 books are cited by only 15, 8, 7, and 2 other works [5].

I am unfamiliar with the position of Law Secretary of Government of India. The only place that the term used is in this article [6] while Law Secretary of Goverment shows up only 3 times including this article [7]. So without more information I do not think it would qualify under NPOL. JbhTalk 14:25, 7 October 2016 (UTC) Last edited: 02:49, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[]

Two of the references are just footnotes where he was cited and not about him... The references were used to show what that the sentence before them stated; that his books have been "referred to by other academics". You removed this sentence from the article giving edit summary as "books cited 15, 7,8,2 times based on Gscholar. Using random books citing his works to support a claim of "cited by other accedemics" is WP:OR" How is this OR? I actually submitted works of academics which have used Sarkar's work and attributed him thus. What is OR in this?
He is simply listed as committee member, the committee was of three people.
What do you mean by only 15, 8, 7, and 2 other works? What is the minimum required criteria?
Law Secretary is the highest position in the Main Secretariat office of New Delhi within the Department of Legal Affairs. ref. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:00, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[]
It is OR because you went and found books he was cited in and you decided that it was significant not an independant reliable source. That is the very essence of WP:OR. As to the number of citations while there is no bright line number, citation metrics are addressed in Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics. I do not think 15 citations indicated a work that has "made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources", which is the notability criteria which his publication history would be judged by. Finally, is there any documentation about "Law Secretary". Our article, which you linked, says the head of the Secretariat is the Law Minister of India and it lists them going back to 1947. He is not on that list. Do you mean he is the senior civil servant, ie the Permanent Secretary? JbhTalk 14:37, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[]
I presented references to where Sarkar has been used as reference by other academics. This might be PRIMARY, but is in no way OR. For the secretariat thing please refer the non-wiki ref link I provided above; our articles are quite shabby. He wasn't an elected Minister but an appointed law secretary of the department. I don't know how it translates to the British synonymous. But as India's structure is very much similar you might say that its similar to Permanent Secretary.
Yeah... fine he doesn't pass Academic's metric. My claim was always of GNG. He touches that academic metric, gets appointed to two highest posts, of law Secretary and chairman of the UPSC. That's GNG based on online sources from an internet-free era. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {

Btw, the Google scholar link you gave is giving only citations of his four books. It is not accounting his writings in various journals. For example, his article "Role of Government Departments in Legislative Process" that was published in Journal of Constitutional and Parliamentary Studies in 1968 has been referred to in this book. His another article titled "Specialists and Generalists" published in 1973 has been referred to in this book; "Press and Privileges of Parliament" (1981) has been referred to in here; "Legislative Relations" (1986) is referred in here; "The Office of Governor" (1969) goes in here.

I spoke to the user who started and submitted this Draft and they told me there's simply not any additional news sources, and I'll note the ones listed here are simply thin and unconvincing, solely based coverage from the fact 2 baseball players invested and started it; my own searches are mirroring this and that's not not convincing.

  • Comment: I originally created that as a redirect to David Nutt, as it seems to be his "friendly name" for some vaguely-defined category of recreational drugs. It was later turned into an article by Magnolia677 (and I just notified that editor of this discussion). Nutt is certainly well known, and "alcosynth" was been widely discussed in recent "reliable" mainstream publications (but not necessarily medical publications). I suppose it is not too surprising that it is not discussed by FDA and NIH, for a few reasons: 1) It seems to be a kind of a concept name for a category of psychoactive substances, rather than being the name of one very specific drug; 2) It seems to be designed as something intended for recreational use – not a medication intended to treat any disease; 3) It probably hasn't been approved for use by any medical institution and probably also hasn't been explicitly prohibited either (perhaps because it is only loosely defined). —BarrelProof (talk) 03:11, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]
  • Comment - My understanding of WP:SIGCOV is that "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article". Google brings back 65,500 links to alcosynth, and every major news organization around the world has covered it in detail:

Apparently yes: in this interview with the CBC , Mark Haden, an Adjunct Professor at the UBC School of Population and Public Health focusing on drug policy research, indicates that there is previous (informal?) human research and soon-to-be-published preclinical toxicology data, and says he is "certainly interested in trying to find the researchers who might be willing to take a look at it and see what it actually does." The transcript calls the substance "AI," but from listening to the audio and from a search around it appears to be MEAI, for which there is prior art in Nutt's patent including this rodent study.Perhaps the two pages could be merged?

According to the Telegraph, "alcosynth" is a benzo derivative and is different from the "chaperone" drug and they are meant to do different things - the alcosynth is meant to give you a safe buzz and the chaperone is meant to give a bit of buzz and make you not want alcohol.[1] According to the New Scientist the "chaperone" drug is 5-methoxy-2-aminoindane, which was supposedly "created" by a recreational drug chemist who goes by "Dr. Z", who filed a patent application on the drug in November 2014 and said he was going to donate the patent application to Nutt's nonprofit.[2] There is so much bullshitWP:BULLSHIT being spouted and no scientific papers so who the fuck knows. But the people pushing this garbage into WP are not even dealing with what the shitty sources we actually have, actually say. It is all bullshitWP:BULLSHIT and hype and sloppiness and there is little to nothing WP can or should say about any of this.

There are no MEDRS sources for this. As Nutt is British I also checked the NHS - nothing. Ditto NICE - nothing. As Doc James said, nothing in Pubmed. Broadening, even google scholar has only two things, neither meaningful.
Further, it is not even clear what "Alcosynth" is - what is the chemical formula? Does it actually exist or is this talk?
Every single "fact" offered about this is just "he said" malarky. Wikipedia is not the National Enquirer, for pete's sake -our mission is to summarize accepted knowledge (see WP:NOTEVERYTHING) - not to repeat scientific claims that are not accepted knowledge in the relevant scientific field, or even acknowledged by the relevant scientific field. This doesn't even to arise to WP:FRINGE as there is nothing sensible to say about it, as Nutt has published nothing.

Only in death does duty end ack. Yes, what matters are reliable sources; there are no reliable sources about what Alcosyn is, or what it does, etc. I don't understand your position here. What can we actually say about Alcosyn other than citing reports of what Nutt has said about it? (which is what is in the article now, and is silly). Also, GNG = multiple independent sources about X. There are zero. I would accept there being something in the David Nutt article where "he said he created "alcosyn" but that's it. Am really committed to this article not existing - at least not now. (can you tell) (btw contrast this with Morgellons where there is no medical information about it (except to say that it doesn't exist) - the whole article is Society and Culture. But we can't even do that here) Jytdog (talk) 08:19, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Almost all the sources Magnolia has posted above are reliable to state Alcosynth has made some (so far as I can see, unproven) claims by Nutt/Alcosynth. The claims may/may not be true. But they have been covered by reliable secondary sources which is all thats required. MEDRS is not required to fulfil notability. Article existance is on notability and verifibility only. Not on truth. MEDRS seeks to address the Truth due to the innate harm of unreliable sources and potential harm in the medical area, but it still does not supersede WP:V. If you are seriously arguing that MEDRS is required to demonstrate notability, expect to be slapped down. (And I think you know me well enough that I am waaaayyy over on your side of the debate on pseudo/fringe etc) The independant, MSN and le Express sources are really all thats required.

We've all agreed on a few basic rules here at Wikipedia, and WP:N is one of them. And according to WP:N, this topic is without question worthy of a stand-alone article (just like Justin Bieber).
I would have expected a deletion nomination to cite WP:NOTNEWS, but there are thousands of articles about alcosynth, probably because Nutt is a respected researcher. And the 311 readers who come to this article in the past 24 hours don't want to read about Nutt (a merge of this article to his). They want to read about a cocktail that gets them drunk without puking at the end of the night.
Neil Armstrong insisted for years that when he got to the bottom of the ladder he actually said "that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind", but that static had obscured the "a". How do I know it's true? He was the only one there. But Armstong isn't a liar, so we believe it. And Wikipedia writes about it. I believe Nutt.
The article certainly doesn't follow Wiki's medical or pharmacological style, but it doesn't have to, nor is it a reason for deletion. The article is well sourced, and people are reading it. Leave it alone. It will grow. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:28, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[]
There is nothing WP can say about "a cocktail that gets them drunk without puking at the end of the night" that is not unsubstantiated speculative bullshitWP:BULLSHIT Nutt is spouting as he tries to raise money, or that others spout in reaction, and WP is not a crystal ball, WP:NOTGOSSIP nor, per WP:SOAPBOX, is it a vehicle for Nutt's promotion of his venture (his column in the Guardian was basically "fund me" - read it with that in mind; it is transparent).

Comment - This seems extremely clear cut to me: Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content. -165.234.252.11 (talk) 16:15, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[]
  • Keep Another behavioural car crash, and Jytdog is in the middle of it. This is deeply unimpressive behaviour, and the sort of thing that would get most editors a block, if not an indef one.
As to the article, then WP:N applies to this AfD, rather than MEDRS. It's unlikely that those outside the UK will be familiar with David Nutt, but he is a major figure around government policy, either as one of the establishment creating it, or later as an excluded gadfly criticising it. Either way, his views carry a good deal of weight. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:12, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[]
As this stuff appears to be a one man show do you not think it makes sense to merge and redirect to him? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[]
That would be a reasonable outcome, but I think there is sufficient independent notability to support an article. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:33, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[]
sure if WP were a gossip magazine where people can post speculations about things that don't exist and act as a bullhorn for people's use of media to try to raise money for new projects. But it isn't per WP:CRYSTALBALL, and WP:NOTGOSSIP and WP:PROMO. No one has addressed these policy issues who has supported keeping the article. Jytdog (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[]
"a gossip magazine" ? Are you seriously equating this with the Kardassians and the like? Please stick to a basis of relevant WP policy, not simply abusing and belittling other editors. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:15, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[]
Yes. If you actually read it, it is all "Nutt says X" or "Y says Z about what Nutt said." There is no accepted knowledge conveyed, because there is none. In fact we can say more about Kim Kardashian's butt than we can about "alcosynth" because her butt actually exists. (here are many pictures - none on the commons unfortunately). Please show me the structure of Alcoynth, or published data on what it does. Please. What you will find if you actually read the article and its sources, is that "Alcosynth" is all hype and gossip, and again, what we have is Nutt giving interviews and writing editorials to try to raise money - read his editorial. Science-y gossip, sure... but gossip. Not what we do here. One day we may be able to write an article on this. Not today. None of the arguments to !keep have a leg to stand on, in the face of the WP:NOT problems here and the lack of reliable sources that are actually about "alcosynth" and not about what Nutt says about this putative substance. SGOSSIP, PROMO, CRYSTALBALL. Jytdog (talk) 17:25, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[]
David Nutt being a major figure around government policy is an excellent reason to have an article on David Nutt, but not a very good reason to have an article about how David Nutt announced he's working on a recreational miracle drug and he promises it'll be really great in the distant future when it exists. -165.234.252.11 (talk) 15:38, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[]
  • Merge and redirect to David Nutt. As it currently stands, not enough information exists to expand this page beyond a stub, so it makes sense to merge it into Nutt's page. Over time, the topic may gain enough notability (and available, verifiable information) to move back to its own page, but in the current situation it just doesn't make sense to have a separate article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneftel (talkcontribs) 15:41, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[]

Delete. WP:BLP, based almost entirely on primary sources except for one not particularly long article in one not particularly widely distributed magazine, of a person notable primarily as a non-winning candidate for political office and as a former director of an organization. Candidates for office don't get articles just for being candidates, so being director of an organization is where his notability claim would have to be staked -- but that's not an automatic notability freebie either, if the sourcing for it is this weak. He could qualify for an article on "director of an organization" grounds if he could be sourced over WP:GNG for it, but nothing here entitles him to an article that rests almost exclusively on primary sourcing.
