Delete. Completely unsourced article about a journalist, which just states that he exists and fails to substantiate any actual evidence of notability per WP:JOURNALIST. As always, a person is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists, but nothing here fulfills the standards necessary for an article to become warranted.

The result was keep. Even considering the relative weakness of the two "oppose" opinions (which is another way to say "keep"), both Mable and Czar don't make any argument for deletion, and even the nomination isn't really presenting a strong policy-backed reason to delete. It's clear that this "keep" closure does not constitute endorsement of the entire article "as is" and heavy work will be necessary to improve the neutrality and accuracy (w/r/t sources) of the article. Czar's proposal to summarize it in the Glossary and redirect there might also merit further discussion on the talk page if work on the article itself doesn't look like it's gonna take place. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 16:42, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

This appears on the face of it to be an attempt to promote a neologism. The article has been subject to spam editing for a long time, and most of the sources require WP:SYN to arrive at this title. Guy (Help!) 23:55, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- I'm really surprised this has had no participation so far. My impression is the same, that this is a forced neologism, and that some developers use it to distinguish their work from "regular" and "casual" games. Now, there are sources that use the term, so I doubt outright deletion is even under consideration, but if there is no in-depth, secondary source discussion of the concepts behind serious games, then the term might as well be succinctly summarized in the Glossary of video game terms and redirected there. czar 08:17, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - if there's a problem with the naming the page should be moved and not deleted. However from what I can see there are enough sources that warrant the page's title (as well as its existence in terms of notability). --Fixuture (talk) 22:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose - Anything CZAR keeps requesting to be deleted proves he knows NOTHING about the game industry, it's a growing industry, and it's impossible to site all the sources. Serious Games is a coined term used globally & it's has Organizations built around it for Education, etc. For crying out loud CZAR can u back off the Game Dev topics. Using the Video Game Source list isn't reliable either...Kotaku doesn't doesn't feed the world on every little detail or has the time to report everything out there. Shhhesssh~!

- This is a deletion discussion. You're meant to provide your view and a rationale for why the article should be kept or deleted based on its topic. You are not meant to attack other editors for nominating an article for deletion. Insulting another editor is also not seen as a credible argument for keeping an article. --The1337gamer (talk) 18:04, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- Neutral, leaning to a "keep". The term "serious game" gets a lot of coverage and is the subject of a lot of study. Looking at the 'further reading' section of this article, I personally think there is plenty of literature on this concept. I personally hate the term, but its notability feels hard to dismiss. That being said: because the majority of the sources in this article are papers, I have very little knowledge of how reliable they are. I personally feel unqualified for giving a judgement. An article like this does make me lean to "keep". ~Mable (chat) 18:29, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I would quite honestly suggest we have an unspecified paid advertisement here because the author has avidly removed any attempts of changes, including the last attempt of 2 for dele, I still confirm my PROD as it in fact also suggested advertising motivations. WP:NOT explicitly allows removal of such blatancy and there's no questions about it. SwisterTwister talk 22:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. A previous version with a different title (Playbak) was deleted as spam (G11). The current version does not qualify under G11, though. However, looking at the sources we have ref. 1 which looks like it's a press release, ref. 2 which is about the magazine's founder and only mentions it in-passing, and ref 3. which is just a newsfeed. The external links are inappropriate links to the magazine's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, a link to a YouTube video (not a reliable source), a photo of unclear relevance where Playbak is mentioned, a link to someone's personal website where the magazine is mentioned in-passing, and a link to a site offering the magazine for sale. In short, not a single one of these references provides the in-depth coverage in reliable sources that is needed to establish notability. --Randykitty (talk) 09:34, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Essay that fails WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOTGUIDE While it is sourced, it offers advice as to how individuals in various groups should apply for aid and comes close to expressing normative views on the issues in some cases, making it a non-encyclopedic essay in some parts and guide in others.

Generally individual notability in team sports is associated with playing in a fully professional league. KD falls short of that threshold. The league for which she will be playing hasn't yet begun (WP:CRYSTAL), nor will it be fully professional. Discussion about Women's AFL seems to show that the level of article creation should be at the team, not the player, level.

- Donnellan's notability has been established by extensive media coverage and her participation in the top tier exhibition series of her sport. Add a notability tag to the article if you want but it's only a matter of weeks before this league's players reach you standard of notability. Tigerman2612 (talk) 1:25, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. Sufficient coverage for GNG. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:55, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Redirect to Fremantle Football Club#AFL Women's team: I do think this article is a bit WP:TOOSOON as she hasn't played a match yet in the AFL Women's comp, the discussion as mentioned by the nominator did say that marquee players should meet notability once they play a match in the comp. The common practice for AFL players drafted who haven't debuted yet is to redirect to the current squad on the main page or the list of XX players article; as she's a marquee player she will meet notability once she plays a match, the precedent for these type of players (albeit in the men's comp) is to redirect before debuting. Flickerd (talk) 11:28, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. One of only 16 marquee players signed to the new comp (see here). I think that trying to combat the gender bias that exists in the traditional mainstream media and here as well requires some more lenient applications of the rules. And which part of new national league that's only months away from starting is "unverifiable speculation" that WP:CRYSTAL refers to? The common practice of redirecting is done for later and rookie picks, but rarely for top draft picks, which the marquee players represent. Everything in this article is verified by RS, but I accept that independence is questionable for most of the refs that cover her in detail, not just a mention, but the club & AFL websites claim to be independent, but few believe that. Applying the letter of the law for the sake of a few weeks/months delay achieves no benefit to anyone. The-Pope (talk) 13:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

KeepRedirect - Refs in article presently are rubbish (non-independent - all from AFL.com or the club page), yet Gnews search shows plenty of non-trivial, independent hits (several from The West Australian). This is enough to satisfy GNG, and that's pretty much all that matters. Sport-specific guidelines requiring, for example, playing in a "fully professional league" are about the presumption of notability, ie, the presumption that sufficient sources should exist for a player of a certain ilk. KD doesn't need to rely on presumption - she has plenty of decent sources anyway. Any exclusion argument would have to rely on WP:NOT, which I don't think could be reasonably made. Yeti Hunter (talk) 23:29, 5 December 2016 (UTC) - EDIT: Following the comment from Aspirex below regarding usual practice at WP:AFL, best course of action would appear to be redirect to the club page for now. Assuming KD does indeed play a debut match, the page can easily be restored via a simple revert when that happens.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 05:02, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Refs from The West Australia seem to rarely show up high in the google searches, probably because their website is hosted by Yahoo! The-Pope (talk) 16:17, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - Notability established by independent media coverage. Presumption of notability will also soon be covered by participation in "major amateur league" as per WP:ATHLETE though is also WP:TOOSOON as she is yet to actually debut. Tigerman2612 (talk) 3:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Notable, sufficient sources, and probably specifically historic for women's football. Aoziwe (talk) 14:16, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete for now In my view, the extent of coverage for uncapped AFLW marquee players has been on par with that of uncapped high-to-mid round AFL draft selections. The AFL project has always taken an absolutely hard line that such players do not get articles until the day they play their first game, regardless of the extent of coverage, and it is contingent on the project to apply its own norms consistently. I've seen many AFL draftee articles deleted for "TOOSOON" on many occasions to ensure this practice is adhered to. To accept a 'keep' decision for this article while satisfying WP:NOTTEMPORARY presupposes that Donnellan would still be forever notable even if she blew out her knee in pre-season training and retired without ever playing an AFLW game.

- Keep Lyrics repository? Seriously? The Nicene creed is one of the more important attestations of faith of any religion, and, of course, was not originally written in English, so how it has been translated over the years is a proper topic for an encyclopedia article. I am simply not seeing the copyright issues--many of these are too old to be covered by copyright, and those that are not are simply derivative works themselves. Even if public religious affirmations of faith are copyrightable as a class, I remain unconvinced that what we currently have in the article is itself problematic.

- Keep -- I agree that this is not a good article, but it is not so bad that it requires TNT. The subject is certainly notable, but it might be better for the comparison to be clause by clause, rather than denomination by denomination. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:43, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Lousy page, fails, for example, to cover the Reformation era discussions, mostly about whether ot keep it, but also about the wording, which are probably the most aspect of any encyclopedic discussion of translating this creed. If any of the modern translations excited controversy (as most liturgical wording does) that also belongs in the article. Let us pray that it will grow and improve.

- Keep the article badly needs work, and might be revised to include non-English versions, but this page at archive.org indicates the topic of the Creed itself is widely discussed, and I have to think the various versions of the Creed used by various proponents and opponents, as well as by churches with different phrasing of the creed, probably has sufficient attention to merit a separate article. No objection to revisiting later if I'm wrong, though. John Carter (talk) 19:01, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

How isn't it readily available? Yes it does, he's a prominent Irish economist. Apollo The Logician (talk) 13:59, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- The only significant mention on Google is that he writes a blog for The Guardian sometimes, something that isn't notable in itself. You need to look at and understand Wikipedia's policy on notability, where it must be proven with significant, reliable, independent sources for future articles. st170etalk 14:09, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- There's a number of articles that's he's mentioned in and as mentioned in the article he was a senior international economist for Citibank Apollo The Logician (talk) 14:13, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Does that mean that we have to include all senior economists from Citibank on Wikipedia? What exactly has he done that's so notable? These are questions that you need to keep in mind when deciding on an article to write. st170etalk 14:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- That's a straw man. Apollo The Logician (talk) 14:53, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- I'm just pointing out the flaws in your argument for his inclusion. A senior economist from Citibank isn't notable, it's just a title and notability is not inherited nor inherent. There are plenty in the world with this title but they aren't on Wikipedia. If he won an Olympic medal, sure, include him. If he won the Nobel Peace Prize or worked as a finance minister who published award winning-books, sure, that's notable. Your argument is that he's a senior economist and writes a blog for the Guardian. That's hardly notable in my eyes. The burden of proof to show notability lies with the author. st170etalk 15:18, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Except I never made that argument. I never said he was a senior international economist for Citibank therefore he is notable. That was just one of the many factors. Apollo The Logician (talk) 15:23, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- Part of the problem is the deletion rationale is patently incorrect: "information on search engines is not readily available" is not an accurate statement. I certainly had no trouble finding it, within minutes. This Ulster Herald article about him is a good one, stating: "Speaking to the Ulster Herald this week, Mr Burke has become one of the leading proponents of the counter-argument that a united Ireland would collapse under the burden of the ‘subvention’ the North receives from the British Treasury." And it goes on from there to cite him in some detail. The article ref for IrishCentral, "Expert says United Ireland would see economic boom," is a reliable source. And a Gnews search reveals enough prominent mentions, especially in (god help us) RT, that I think he just gets by my own rule-of-thumb that "multiple" sources means three or thereabouts. And course until 2014 his work appeared regularly on the Guardian website.
Last but not least, being invited by the European Parliament to speak and present his case for an Irish Union would seem to me to meet criterion 1 of WP:ECONOMIST. I think it is clear that he is a prominent enough Irish economist for our purposes. Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:02, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- UlsterHerald is a local newspaper and I don't think it adds much credence to the significant sources requirement. He wasn't actually invited by the European Parliament, he was invited to a seminar by an MEP and his presentation was in that seminar. Whilst being invited by the European Parliament would definitely show notability, I don't see how this is particularly notable. Blogging with the Guardian isn't notable on its own, although it is something. With all of this, I don't think he meets the requirements set out at WP:GNG for significant coverage. A few passing mentions in some articles are trivial, although I do want to clarify that by readily available, I meant that you need to dig a lot deeper to find information about him to use. With regards to WP:ECONOMIST, 'widely cited' I don't think he meets. Sure, in the future he could very well meet that, but I don't think the time is just right for this article. st170etalk 17:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- Keep Ulster Herald, Guardian, and Irish Central are all WP:RS and have significant coverage. Calling the Ulster Herald piece local coverage is a bit like calling a Washington Post interview with Janet Yellen local coverage. Just because the outlet is located in the same place that the article subject frequents does not automatically make it local coverage. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:06, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

ANN role analysis:
1) Monami Suzuki [elementary school] (Capeta - main; though the subject was replaced by Mika Kikuchi as her character grew up)
2) Megumi Amatsuka (GJ Club - main)
Only one main role, and for a production that isn't necessarily all that notable. Subject only voiced for Monami for a couple of episodes before the time skip in Capeta. There are also no relevant results found in Google search, nor are there any secondary sources to help assert the subject's notability. Hence I deem the subject as non-notable.

The result was delete. Our first concern is WP:V, but the general opinion here is that we meet that. On the other hand, there's reasonable agreement that we don't meet WP:N. During the AfD, there was massive cleanup to the article, to the point that what's left isn't much more than a stub. A good evaluation of this is hindered by the difficulty of finding English-language sources. So, I'm going to call this delete, but with no prejudice against somebody writing a new version, with better sourcing. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:17, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

If this is not a hoax, I have a feeling this is a biography written by family member, using poor sources, so WP:OR.

(Weak?)Delete. The article is, on it's face, a dictionary definition, as it offers three definitions of a single word. I don't believe that "working at the chalkface" to mean "working in education" rises to any level of notability, so keeping that would constitute an unnecessary fork from, e.g. Teacher. My only question – and thus the tentative weakness of my !vote – is whether the literal "cliff or quarry exposing chalk" idea is notable and not already covered elsewhere. Cnilep (talk) 23:33, 24 November 2016 (UTC)- Per MB, the literal sense is treated at Cliff. I'm therefore striking 'weak' from my earlier !vote. Cnilep (talk) 02:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

- Undecided The geologic use should Redirect to Cliff, as does Rockface. Cliff already says that the rock exposure can be made of many kinds of rock, including chalk. And it has a photo of the chalk cliffs of Dover. As far as the British usage for school, I had never heard that before and from a world view, it would be useful to have a good explanation. Not sure if there is enough sourceable info to support it though. Googling does reveal it is a very common term. MB 04:12, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

- Delete In theory, the current article would be redirect to Chalkface (TV series) which would include the definition in the current article. That is currently a redlink, however, for good reason: Searching fails to find much more than simple listings that the one-season series existed. I would have thought that there would be significant coverage for a BBC series, but apparently not, and therefore not notable. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

WP:GNG - 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 list
WP:LISTN - One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.

End-to-end testing is "usually similar to system testing, but [undertaken]... to test a user's complete interaction with the system"[1] or it's done "for multiple interrelated systems ... to verify that all interrelated systems ... are tested in an operational environment.".[2] Another source talks about "... a full range of unit, integration, system, stress testing, and end-to-end testing...".[3](my emphasis) A better article could be made on this topic: Noyster (talk), 12:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect and salvage what content is possible to salvage. It's not a common term (as is noted by Noyster) and a section in system testing would suffice to indicate what the differences are, and the redirect would be enough for the one or two links that may exist or be created.

Contested prod. The concern was: Not satisfying the applicable notability WP:POLITICIAN as it's only a local students group, not a national, statewide or otherwise major position, and nothing satisfies independent notability and substance; the sources themselves are either only mentions or quotes, that's not the substance needed for an actually convincing article. Another is that there's no inherited notability from anything or anyone else and this is policy itself, thus not negotiable. Although the article for Twipra Students Federation exists, he's only the "chief organizing secretary" and, again this is for a local group, not a major one, thus this position is not inherited any automatic notability.

The result was delete. There's consensus that we should not have this as a dab page, and that we should have some way of guiding readers to the WP:Unblock page. There's not yet clear consensus on how to do that, though. Sandstein 11:42, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- Retain some route to WP:Appealing a block, the target of WP:UNBLOCK, as the page history shows that this is needed. Patar knight's suggestion would work well, as redirect hatnote could be added there, "Unblock redirects here, for... see...". – Fayenatic London 09:34, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- I'm fine with Patar knight's redirect suggestion too, but I can't withdraw as there has been a delete !vote by MB Pppery 14:46, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- I don't agree with a Redirect to Block (Internet). All sorts of things are blocked and unblocked and I don't think Internet blocking is a more likely target of what a user might be looking for than others. If you search WP for use of unblock, you find unblocking of:
- 3G mobile phones
- bridge (card game) move
- telephone caller identification
- storage containers
- mined harbors
- ethernet Automatic Protection Switching
- drain pipes
- subscription channels
- human arteries
- It's really just a word with a common definition. I don't think there is any reason for a broad concept article and WP is not a dictionary. That said, WP:UNBLOCK may be the most likely subject a user is looking for. What about a Redirect there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MB (talk • contribs) 19:49, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

- Good point. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:39, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- And incorrect too. Manuals only contain manual-like instructions. You can cite a manual only when you want to write a manual. Otherwise, the only thing you get out of a manual for Wikipedia is passing mentions. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 10:47, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Even if there is a restriction on citing a manual it still doesn't mean that we can't have an article about a manual based on non-manual sources, such as the ones found by Vejvančický's searches.

- Blah, blah, blah. Hypothetical nonsense nobody cares about. The truth is, the article has stayed a worthless one liner because it cannot possibly become anything else. Vejvančický didn't find source; he has found a lot of search engine hits and is doing a WP:LOTSOFSOURCES argument. Lots of trivial mentions don't make the article notable.

If placed with a larger article, it may be updated more frequently. Additionally, I believe this feature was removed in Windows 10? It was augmented with the Help+Tips app in 8.1, and I can't find it anymore in 10. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. WikIan -(talk) 15:44, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- That would be a very bad idea. If this was simply incorporated into the list article (where, of course, it should be listed) any expansion would be rightly resisted as undue emphasis. I haven't used any version of Windows later than Windows 7, but whether this feature exists in later versions would only be relevent if this article was intended as a guide for users of current versions of Windows, which it is not. Notability does not expire, and we keep articles about notable topics. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:19, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Nobody calling for deletion here has given any explanation of how the very many books from reliable publishers with coverage of this topic do not constitute a pass of the general notability guideline.

- Delete. Minor aspect of the OS, possibly redirect to something related. If nobody has bothered to expand this article in all these years, this indicates of how little importance it is to anybody. We are not a technical documentation for operating systems. Sandstein 12:48, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
- The statement that "if nobody has bothered to expand this article in all these years, this indicates of how little importance it is to anybody" goes against the whole ethos of Wikipedia. What matters is whether the sources exist to write a policy-compliant article, not whether Wikipedia editors have chosen to grow it past some arbitrary size within some arbitrary deadline. Am I the only person here old enough to remember that this was proclaimed, and not only by Microsoft, as one of the most important features of Windows ME, but then pretty well universally ridiculed when people saw how useless it was? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

A blogger who graduated in 2014, clearly a very able student but there's nothing here to prove he's widely known, or had a chance to develop a successful career. Most of these citations are to pieces of writing by him, or to his alma mater's website. Time for it to go. Sionk (talk) 15:25, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- I politely disagree that 'Eta Uso' is not widely known. However, referring to an individual as whether being widely known or not, can also be based on perspective. To this end, I will say that though he might not be a household name when using a wholistic context, he is however popular in his country - Nigeria and I think this will suffice as well. He is widely known within the non governmental community, mostly as a youth and democracy activist and the articles in question, though mostly written by him, they have however been published on very popular and famous websites due to his notability. I will also like to add that his Twitter page (https://twitter.com/royaltyuso) is also verified by Twitter and this action by Twitter further speaks, moreso boldly of his notability. Based on this, I politely request you reconsider your request for deletion as the individual in question is a notable individual Sandynigerian (talk) 16:02, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- You'd need to find some proof of this. If he is popular or important then there should be some secondary, independent coverage about him. That is the essence of Wikipedia's WP:GNG. Apart from the Bangor University magazine, everything cited in the article is by him, not independent. Sionk (talk) 21:22, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. I have been able to come across an independent coverage. He is a popular activist and I was confident there will sure be proof to attest to this. Here is one of them Members of Civil Society Share Their Expectations For Edo State Governorship Elections. I will edit his page and attach this additional proof.
Sandynigerian (talk) 01:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- That's not about him either, it's a short quote from him on a political website. Sionk (talk) 01:31, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Governorship elections, just like Presidential elections, are taken very seriously in Nigeria. And we will both agree that the coverage on Watching The Vote website focuses strictly on expectations from duly accredited Civil Societies by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). INEC is the sole body of government which is in charge of elections in Nigeria. Now to make my point; 1. INEC will not give accreditation to random individuals or organizations to monitor or observe elections in Nigeria, except you have attained a certain degree of influence and status in the society as it relates to election causes. 2. #WatchingTheVote (the website that independently featured him) is guided by the Declaration of Global Principles for Nonpartisan Election Observation (DoGP) and Code of Conduct for Nonpartisan Election Observers and Monitors. This is a very high level non-partisan body and they also do not seek and publish expectations from random individuals but from influential individuals and organization who have the clout to shape or dictate narratives by their words and action. In addition, and like I pointed out earlier, his popularity is in an uncommon sector (civil society and non-government) and as such, assessing him in same notability context of politicians or music stars will not be a fair assessment.

Wiebers one claim to near notability is that she was Miss Iowa, that is not enough to establish notability. She has acted in local stage productions in eastern Iowa, but those are just not on a level to establish notability. My search for sources seemed to come up with the level of sources in the article. The way the reference list is made is a total mess, but so are the sources. One Quad Cities source did not even mention Wiebers name at all, let alone mention the routine it was being used to source. About a third of the sources are PR releases about her winning pageants. The rest is either local coverage from the Clinton County paper or coverage that mentions her incidentally or coverage related to her being Miss Iowa, none of the last shows the widespread coverage we would want to show this title is a notable one.

- There's not automatic inherited notability from the fact he founded software, we could then accept any other article with the sole basis of "he founded multiple sofwares" but our policies explicit state against this, and with good meaning. Also, the fact he was funded by an MIT team is also not automatically inheriting him notability. Unlike anyone else, I would actually say we have paid advertising contributions here because of the fact of not one SPA, but two now by the fact a second user has now started, and we've established as it is this can only mean advertising-involved, certainly not "coincidentally active users with the same one article". Simply look at each source, it's about the software itself (Fortune: Funding support, WSJ: Mere mention, Forbes: By a "special contributing journalist" (which basically means he was a freelance journalist, a job that is easily bought by companies for PR). When an article then has to end with simple sourcing (see #15-28) as mentions, it shows the sheer attempts at coatracking and overbloating the article with anything to make it seem "genuinely substantial", when it's not, and policies explicitly state this. When we ignore policies against advertising, we have no hopes for an encyclopedia. SwisterTwister talk 04:24, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hirschtick didn't "inherit" anything from the software he created; he is notable because he created the software, as he is for his involvement in the MIT blackjack team. That one funded the creation of the other only adds to the claim. When we have single editors turning themselves into judge, jury and executioner, shouting and screaming increasingly bizarre and irrational conspiracy theories to claim that any and all sources are "advertising", regardless of the source, we have no hopes for an encyclopedia. Alansohn (talk) 04:37, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
- Dear SwisterTwister, thank you for the explanation "but two now by the fact a second user has now started, and we've established as it is this can only mean advertising-involved, certainly not "coincidentally active users with the same one article""! Now I can understand better how it looks from you point of view. I hope it will be pertinently if I try to explain. I am a programmer in CAD/CAM company, and also I am a lecturer in a university ("Introduction to CAD/CAM/CAE" for students of 5th grade). Half of a year ago I found that there are no any articles in Wikipedia about new system Onshape and about Jon Hirschtick who created Solidworks and Onshape. I was very surprised, so I decided to create both these articles. One month ago I found that the first article was created, and that it was temporary in the list of Articles for deletion. So I started creation of the second one article via Articles for creation (to avoid mistakes of beginners). It was accepted, and two hours later you put it into the list of Articles for deletion. I absolutely agree with you that my text is not perfect, that sources must be improved. And now I can see why do you think that my article looks like a spam. But on my talk page you can see that I asked the author of the Onshape article to share his expirience about all these deletion things. And it seems that only after it he decided to rewrite part of my text. I hate spam too. But I am interesed in CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM, so I am trying to improve Wikipedia in these areas. Ilya.lichman (talk) 12:32, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- There's not automatic inherited notability from the fact he founded software, we could then accept any other article with the sole basis of "he founded multiple sofwares" but our policies explicit state against this, and with good meaning. Also, the fact he was funded by an MIT team is also not automatically inheriting him notability. Unlike anyone else, I would actually say we have paid advertising contributions here because of the fact of not one SPA, but two now by the fact a second user has now started, and we've established as it is this can only mean advertising-involved, certainly not "coincidentally active users with the same one article". Simply look at each source, it's about the software itself (Fortune: Funding support, WSJ: Mere mention, Forbes: By a "special contributing journalist" (which basically means he was a freelance journalist, a job that is easily bought by companies for PR).

The article does not demonstrate how this lawyer and adjunct professor satisfies WP:BIO or WP:PROF. Edison (talk) 04:44, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep as WP:PROF is in fact satisfied in both being a leader in the university's program and also being in over thousands of libraries; WP:GNG is not applicable but WP:PROF is, and that's all that matters; nomination cite no challenges to this when WP:PROF is explicit (holds major position or is largely cited, and this is it).

- Comment: SwisterTwister, "being a leader" is not one of the criteria in PROF, and given that the references are all primary there's no indication that PROF 4 or 7 are met. H indices and "how many articles" have been long determined to not be hard indicators of notability. Thus, I think the nomination is valid - there is no indication/demonstration of the notability criteria at this time. Primefac (talk) 05:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm not seeing anything that comes close to WP:PROF here. He's only an adjunct prof, has low GS cites and a h-index of 4, and contrary to SwisterTwister's assertion only one of his books is widely held in libraries, and it's just a multi-author volume he is a co-editor of.

Promotional bio, full of unjustified superlatives. He is not a professor--he has been visiting professor a 3 universities--these are temporary positions--we seems to have no regular appointment anywhere. Author of three non notable books, and this article seems designed to promote them. DGG ( talk ) 04:25, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete A highly promotional article about a non-notable author. Blatant PR talk like "an award-winning campus-wide initiative to accelerate startups in taking their innovations to market" could be cleaned up if he was truly notable, but I see no evidence that he is. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as the nomination is exact with the concerns and there's simply nothing for actual convincing of genuine notability, and I believe there's some attempts at shoehorning this by mentioning the major football player soon. Regardless, still nothing convincing. SwisterTwister talk 05:09, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keep I have tried to address the major concerns that the editors have on this article. Addressing concerns by Cullen328 Let's discuss it and SwisterTwister talk, I added references from various reputable, national news sources, i.e. Inc. Magazine, AOL News, and The Huffington Post, that substantiate that he is a notable, recognized expert in his field. I have removed all editorial adjectives as per Cullen328 Let's discuss it comments. On the subject of notability as an author as per DGG ( talk ) and Cullen328 Let's discuss it, one of his three books, New Venture Creation: Entrepreneurship for the 21st Century (McGraw-Hill, 2011), is in its 10th edition. On the subject of regular appointment as per DGG ( talk ), I added into the article that in addition to being the founder, he has also been the director of Texas Venture Labs since 2010, as well as the founder. Also, he is a senior lecturer the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. As per the request to add "more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia", I have added over 20 more links to the article. Any other suggestions for change or improvement would be greatly appreciated. Gracephoto (talk) 21:57, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- What has been added is still not convincing or sufficient as it's still trivial and unconvincing; also, there's no inherited notability from anything or anyone else, regardless of his connections there. SwisterTwister talk 22:38, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- What is actally needed to show notability as an Author are reviews of his books in major review sources, such as major newspapers, magazines, or professional journals. But you additionally will needto remove parts like belong only in a job application, eg. "His fundraising experience includes public and private equities, limited partnerships, corporations, and philanthropy." DGG ( talk ) 00:15, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

- Comment None of the coverage seems to be independent. The Black Belt magazine article appears to be autobiographical ("My Life and Judo") and the article by Don Warrener isn't independent since his company (Rising Sun Productions) produced at least some of Sharp's videos. He doesn't meet the notability criteria for authors and rank alone is insufficient to show notability. I'm not voting yet in order to allow more time to find coverage and show notability.

Price's work just does not meet any of our metrics for notability of an artist. The Ensign article I dug up really is mainly using his work to narrate a story. There is a level where telling history through paintings can make one notable, but there is no indication that any of Price's work rises to that level.

- Merge (was "Keep", see my comments below) Keep for several reasons:
- Searching for sources under the correct spelling yields this review in Western Horseman, a not-yet-noticed solid source
- Scottsdale Independent article that gives info on the Cowboy Artists of America, as does http://cowboyartistsofamerica.com/...it is a private club, perhaps all white men in fact judging by group photos and names of members, that is apparently selective. I would not suggest all members are Wikipedia-notable, but membership is something; I might wonder why a cowboy artist is NOT a member.
- An award: the Cowboy Artists of America bio states "Clark has twice been selected for the Arts for the Parks Top 100 in Jackson, Wyoming, winning the historical award one year."
- When the article was started in 2009 (by the deletion nominator in fact), the artist seemed notable based on then-fresh publication of the Deseret News article which is still good coverage; notability is not temporary.
- --doncram 22:19, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
- The "perhaps all white men" is needless racist grandstanding. You can not tell peoples races from pictures, I am insulted that anyone would attempt to in this day and age. I have a friend who carries his birth certificate so people do not falsely class him as white when he is black. Unless you have real evidence a group excludes based on race lines like "perhaps all white men" are unneccesarily racially inflamatory.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:39, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what "racist grandstanding" is, or whether I did it, but point taken about telling people's races from their group photos of members. Sorry about that. Perhaps they discriminate based on hat ownership, though. :) Hey, what I wrote came out that way because I was being defensive about the CKP's membership in the club as supporting his notability. I do think it supports his notability. However I am uncomfortable in general with using club membership as an indicator of importance. I happen to have created or edited several hundred wikipedia articles and list-articles about clubs/clubhouses (e.g. Masonic Lodges, Elks lodges, and individual elite businessmen's clubs, and women's clubs too, starting with many whose buildings are listed on the National Register). There are aspects of Wikipedia coverage of clubs that should make us uncomfortable, in terms of which clubs get covered and why we should be in the role of sort of promoting them. So anyhow I was sort of trying to pre-empt criticism of my making anything much of the cowboy artists club by myself pointing out (erroneously as you note) something I anticipated might come across as negative about it. I really know nothing about it at all, and I should not have gone that way, I'm sorry. --doncram 19:09, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- Hmm, I was wondering if I should after all create a "Cowboy Artists of America" article, which could perhaps list the member artists, and I just find that it exists: Cowboy Artists of America. I will add CKP's name there and develop it a bit, despite my general misgivings about clubs.
- Merging this CKP article to Cowboy Artists of America#Clark Kelley Price is an option, leaving a redirect behind, allowing this article to be recreated without loss of edit history, if/when there are more sources explicitly about this artist. Merging is superior to Deletion. In general we should look for good wp:ATD Alternatives to Deletion, and I think merging this works. Table rows there can hold content including sources about each artist. --doncram 19:30, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Paintings in a history museum are not necessarily there because of the quality of the art. Based on reading it, the nature of the deseret news article is clearly propagandistic, not objective.

Brown was Miss Tennessee USA and Miss Tennessee Teen USA back in the 1980s. This article mainly demonstrates why such is not ground for notability. It is primarily sourced to her small hometown newspaper. 30 years later we know absolutely nothing about what she has done over the last 30 years. My search for sources came up with nothing showing any notability.

- Comment - It's not clear to me yet. I've been tidying up his article and looking for sources. There are several "Jonathan Schofield"s to shuffle through - and he's clearly written about a lot in the Manchester paper. I'll do some more digging and see what I can find, for instance book reviews would be helpful.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:09, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - I have been vacillating between weak keep and delete, but I think it should be delete. What makes him notable - in terms of BBC interviews, references in books, and the success of his tours - is that he's a historian. But, I'm not finding meaningful reviews of his books and his classic, oft-referenced line about Friedrich Engels, "without Manchester there would have been no Soviet Union. And the history of the 20th century would have been very different" is based upon faulty logic (perhaps knowingly to make for an enjoyable tour, but doesn't lift his reputation as a historian). There is more that could be written about him as a public speaker, for instance, but I still don't think that would lift his notability appreciably. (He sounds like someone I would like to get a tour from, though, because of his personality, background knowledge, and passion.) Also, I could not find one comprehensive article about him from an independent source - and some of the content that still is in the article likely shouldn't be, like his books (lacking independent reviews), perhaps the BBC content, etc.
- Postcard Cathy, I moved the information about who he interviewed, gave tours to, etc. to the talk page - because as a journalist and tour guide, that would be a standard part of doing business. I posted it there in the event that there might be something noteworthy about his interactions with these individuals, but I didn't come across anything when looking for sources.--CaroleHenson (talk) 08:18, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. The average reporter and tour guide never gets to meet people such as those mentioned. Local reporters might meet local or regional VIPs but I can tell you for my sleepy suburb, I have no clue who our mayor or chief of police is, and I doubt you do either! Or care, even if you did. Postcard Cathy (talk) 09:29, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, if you think that information should be returned feel free. I agree that he is probably getting more that the usual allotment of celebrities, because from all that I've read he's the most well-known tour guide in the city.

- I went ahead and added them back with a {{cn}} tag. In addition, it would be helpful to have more information for context, since the interactions could fall into one of three categories: interviewed by, interviewed, or took on a tour.--—CaroleHenson (talk) 16:41, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

There's no inherited notability from anything listed not should we consider mistaking it as such, it's a fact he is actually onpy known for 1 TV series, and that series itself only lasted about 2 years, with the other listed works only being trivial 1-time characters. Hence WP:NOT also applies since Wikipedia is not IMDb, something thid current article is only fitting for. SwisterTwister talk 01:25, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. The Town Crier is a community weekly newspaper that is neither widely distributed beyond its own neighbourhood nor archived anywhere that we could retrieve the content again if the weblink ever died, so it does not count toward passage of WP:GNG. It would be acceptable for supplementary sourcing of stray facts after GNG had already been satisfied by stronger sources, but it cannot count toward the initial question of whether GNG has been met in the first place. And the same issue pertains to Durhamregion.com. And I searched to find the Toronto Star article as well — it is not in fact about him, but merely namechecks his existence a single time in an article about something else, so it's not bringing any GNG either. And WP:NACTOR is not met just because roles are asserted, either: it's met when the roles are supported by sourcing that satisfies GNG — but none of the sourcing here satisfies GNG, so NACTOR is not passed. SNGs do not provide an exemption from having to source an article over GNG; they serve to clarify the types of things are accepted as notability claims if they're supported by GNG-passing sources, but the sourceability still has to pass GNG to actually get the article included, regardless of what it unsourcedly or bad-sourcedly claims. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when somebody can source it better than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:04, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

There was what appears to be some original research and there was some failed verification. The article is now cited with secondary sources. Where I could not find sources, I moved text to the Article rewrite comments section on the talk page.

- Comment
KeepI don't know how we know why an article is created, but the editor is interested in this subject, based upon their contributions. The point is whether it meets WP:N, WP:GNG, and other key reasons in WP:DELREASONS. IMO, the subject of the article meets both, based upon his experience as an early leader of the media industry (one source called him a pioneer in the media industry in the Middle East region), particularly moving beyond print and television advertising campaigns to digital, social networking, based upon data. He is also a leader in equality of sexes among business executive positions, making it an award-winning best place to work, and in corporate social responsibility.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:39, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

- Comment to closer - There's no amounts of improvements to be made here since our policies against advertising allow this to be removed, and especially since improvements would actually mean restarting the article altogether, hence not any actual improvements. As it is, this AfD has been affected by SPA accounts as has the article's history itself so that alone violates policy, regardless of "But there's sourcing" or "But he exists".

- SwisterTwister I am not always sure where you are coming from—if you are basing your comments on the version when it was nominated or after a lot of edits have been made to the article, which in this case increased the article by 50%.

to be true, it would seem that all or most of the 24 secondary sources, mostly news sources, were churnalism. That may be true, I don't know. But I wonder how one would know that. - Regarding
since this article itself cares to focus in specifying every single business fact of his
- if that's true, that's more my fault than the original author. I didn't use all the sources that were out there, though, there are 798 news hits, perhaps 9 or so of 17 books published since 1984 that are applicable, 19 HighBeam hits, and other items on the internet that would qualify as reliable, SSs. - WP:NOT says that editors should avoid self-promotion and follow WP:COI guidelines, whether writing about themselves, a subject with a close connection, or a subject they are paid to write about. I don't see anywhere that articles should be deleted because they were started by a user with a close connection or conflict of interest.

Heffernan's only even half-baked claim to notability was being Miss South Dakota USA, and this is not enough by any stretch of the imagination to establish notability. The coverage is all the "local girl makes good" type. My search showed up no additional reliable sources that might add any possible notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:38, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Davis' one claim to notability is having been Miss Illinois. This is not enough on its own to establish notability. The article is very heavily reliant on local news coverage from where she is, some of which is still not even about her in any meaningful way. A google search produces nothing showing notability outside of the one event of being Miss Illinois. John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:43, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

- Keep found this while patrolling & have helped a bit with the article, initial blurb looked like nothing but a quick Google search turned up a trove of links in both Indian & international media, as well as multiple references via Google books, for this individual, going back decades. I listed several on the article's Talk page & there are plenty more. JamesG5 (talk) 03:58, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

- Delete: Sorry, not convinced. I went through the Google link James posted. There are several repeats of the same article quoting the subject about a meeting with Fidel Castro twenty years ago, and several other cites quoting the subject. As is well established, quotes from a subject cannot be used to support the notability of the subject. In order to meet the GNG, as we all know, the subject needs to receive significant coverage that is about the subject. Nothing of the sort's been provided. Ravenswing 10:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - fails WP:GNG; I agree with Ravenswing entirely Spiderone 18:52, 1 January 2017 (UTC)'
- Delete - WP:POLITICIAN stresses on significant coverage in reliable sources for an independent article. Unfortunately coverage here is minimal. Other than "broken brick wall" and "meeting fidel castro" articles, I couldn't find articles on work done by this person. Even the book simply points out the incident of breaking the wall. Thus the article fails WP:GNG. vivek7de--tAlK 14:50, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
