Unsourced Since creation in 2004, unelected candidate, and no indication of importance. Talktome(Intelati) 23:54, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I created this page in 2004, when Wikipedia's standards for inclusion weren't as clearly defined. I agree that it shouldn't be kept as a standalone article; I've talked to the person who started this afd, and I'm going to compress the page to a redirect to a candidate list page in a few minutes. No need to keep the afd going, in this case. CJCurrie (talk) 00:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Administrative Keep as moot. This is now a redirect. Carrite (talk) 02:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This AfD challenge can safely be closed.

Non-notable per WP:NOTABLE and WP:MILMOS/N Anotherclown (talk) 23:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. —Anotherclown (talk) 23:43, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- On the fence: I'm divided on this one, which is why I contested the prod (hoping to hear some more discussion). On one hand, none of the individual units have an article and mostly don't seem to have any independant notability. On the other, there is no policy saying that a list has to be a stand-alone list. At least one person thought there was enough potential to make lists for the other provinces; but I would be OK with upmerging the scope to all of Canada and maybe being a bit more stringent about criteria. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 12:43, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: I don't think it meets the sourcing requirements in WP:N for significant, independent coverage. AustralianRupert (talk) 02:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Non-notable per WP:MILMOS/N#Units and formations. Buckshot06 (talk) 17:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The units as a whole are large enough to satisfy WP:MILMOS/N#Units and formations. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:00, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure I understand this assertion as the MILMOS doesn't seem to cover cadet units at all (as far as I can see). Anotherclown (talk) 23:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There's no reason to draw a distinction between cadet units and other types of military unit. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:36, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe, maybe not (personnally I think the notability threshold for a cadet unit would be different from an actual military unit as the vast majority would be non-notable and lack reliable sources or significant independant coverage). I guess in many ways this argument probably transends the issues involved in this article and maybe further discussion of the notability guidelines in WP:MILMOS/N might be needed. Anotherclown (talk) 23:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not like we have an article on every unit. But we do have ones like List of Army Cadet Units across Australia. Hawkeye7 (talk) 00:06, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess thats part of the problem... personnally I don't think cadet units are all that notable, so having a list that focuses on purely those units in one part of Canada (i.e. British Columbia) seems even less notable to me. Perhaps if it were a list of all Cadet units in Canada it might be more notable. Then again if there is no reliable sources and no independent coverage it is a moot point as that then fails our notablity guidelines anyway (or at least thats my interpretation). IMO both List of cadet units in British Columbia and List of Army Cadet Units across Australia fall into this category. Anotherclown (talk) 02:51, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, but being of little interest to you does not automatically make the subject not notable. The idea of a Canada-wide article may be reasonable, but Canada is larger than Australia, and it might become unwieldy. I see no problem in listing them on a per-state basis. Hawkeye7 (talk) 13:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You mean provinces, right? :P I'd like to point out that the notability requirements to be included on a list is not the same as needed to have an article, so referencing WP:MILMOS/N is a bit disingenuous because it is written with articles in mind. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 15:37, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok fair enough - that doesn't remove the requirement for reliable sources and significant independent coverage, which at this stage I don't believe this article has. Anotherclown (talk) 23:09, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced, non-notable neologism per WP:Neologism, original research per WP:No original research, can't find a single mention of it online. Prod contested by anonymous editor. Top Jim (talk) 08:18, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. A non-notable management theory. Google News shows nothing; Scholar shows only that other people have thought up the alliterative phrase, found it clever, and used it in a variety of unrelated contexts. The notion that probable ideas have more value than possible ideas plumbs new depths in triviality. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:37, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- DO NOT DELETE. This theory is recognised througout New Zealand. Have read numerous case studies. Try researching New Zealand content —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.89.86.234 (talk) 08:17, 15 October 2010 (UTC) — 120.89.86.234 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- The Possible Plausible Probable theory is a relatively new framework, inspired by Otago University researcher Alan Geare who's PhD focuses on contemporary management and marketing in the contemporary context. This framework is considered to be one of the most controversial and topical issues within contemporary management in New Zealand academia. The deletion of the Possible Plausible Probable Framework would signify a lack of academic understanding in relation to emerging contemporary Management theories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.89.86.234 (talk) 08:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you supply sources verifying its notability in NZ academia? They don't have to be online sources: a WP:Reliable source in print would also be fine. Thanks, Top Jim (talk) 09:43, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per failing WP:NFF (See WP:TOOSOON).... and no Armbrust, its not quite a hoax... simply a project in development by an unknown director... and waaaaay too soon for this article.[2][3] Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Neither of those sources are reliable. CTJF83 chat 17:53, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I did not assert that they were... only that the project is not a hoax. Note that I do agree with deletion because lack of reliable sources makes this article premature. We are not in disagreement. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 19:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm just saying those 2 sources don't indicate it's not a hoax. CTJF83 chat 03:28, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well... the trailer shows something is in perhaps in progress... somewhere... and so is then indicative that a "film", in whatever minimal version, and by whatever unknown filmmaker, exists as an idea and a concept and a trailer... and if called a "film" is not exactly a hoax, even if never completed. Heck, even a non-notable 60 second student "film" posted on youtube is still a "film", per definition. But we are in compete agreement that for inclusion herein it needs to be a whole lot more: completed, screened, reviewed, covered in reliable sources, etc. So even in my assuming the best of good faith, it can be seen that this article easily fails all pertinent notability criteria, and is waaaaaaaaaay TOOSOON.

I figure AfD is a better place to hash out these claims. — Scientizzle 21:07, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]Not a word is true, it was a marketing tool in the Netherlands, but not since the eighties, only since 2004 or 2005. It may have been invented long before, but since the lying begins in the first line by inventing an English word for it, I presume the whole article is marketing-nonsense. Wuppie is not an acronym for anything, is it just a funny name. This article seems to be created to give some fundament to a Dutch marketing-campain. Vier Tildes (talk) 20:54, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

- Comment. The article creator certainly didn't make up the English name for this[4] and the Google News archive results linked above go back to the early 1980s, so the accusations of lying in the nomination don't hold water. I'm not yet sure about notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:58, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right, I'm wrong. Seeing this mixture of fact and fiction, and the promotional intend, I did not look close enough.

- Keep If there was a timeline of events within the 200+KB article 2003 invasion of Iraq, I could understand the assertion that this was redundant. And if there were a timeline in that article, which is already busting at the seams, I'd suggest spinning it out. No surprise that nobody thought it should be merged back in. It is inferior to the extent that it needs more sourcing than the 13 citations in there at the moment, although newspapers abound with timelines like this.

- Delete per nom - this article is sketchy and duplicates the Iraq War article. Nick-D (talk) 07:50, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: normally, I don't like redundancy, but the massive size and organization of 2003 invasion of Iraq is intimidating, and not quite as easy to understand chronologically. This also seems to be part of a series; might as well be consistant. If there are gaps in coverage or referencing, that can be easily fixed. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 11:57, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - This should be a content fork out of that article, and the original should be removed from the War article and put into this one.

This is most likely a hoax. There is a company of that name in Columbus, a Mercedes dealer, and that's where those model numbers come from. No references are provided, none could be found. I hope the article creator will come by here to explain. Drmies (talk) 19:43, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Non-notable, no good references. Strictly speaking, this is not a hoax, as this company and one of their cars appears in the U.S. government fuel efficiency database. Instead, this appears to be a Grey import vehicle company, most likely bringing in Mercedes models not then sold in the U.S. These firms would import cars outside official channels, and then add safety lights, catalytic converters and other gear to make them street legal in the U.S. This business model became illegal in the late 80's.

- Comment Of the provided sources, most appear to be press releases or are from non-Reliable Sources. There are a few that appear legitimate but minor. The Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal reports on a collaboration with another, larger company. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and PC Magazine items are puzzlers in that they appear to have been written by journalists at the publications, but are written in a totally boosterish, press-release-ish tone. Basically this doesn't add up to much in the way of notability per WP:COMPANY. And given the history of repeated spamming documented by Allistair, I still favor delete and possibly salt. (And given the above history, has anyone done a whois search on the current SPA, Happysantacruz?) --MelanieN (talk) 14:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Every link above is an article from a credible news source in the technology and business press -- not press releases. The links only include coverage for a year and a half of the company's 5-year history from the company's website). It is a small company, and according to WP:COMPANY, "...arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations."

Hi, this is the person responsible for the creation of the Holition Wiki page. My article was in no way intended to promote the business venture of Holition or its employers. Instead, it was intended to highlight the revolution which is occurring in the retail trade with the innovations that Augmented Reality can bring, which is why I cited the examples of the BMW application and the Tissot application. The section entitled ‘The Team’ was mostly taken from the company’s website as I have no knowledge of the hierarchy which exists in the business. This, I agree, has likely breached copyright laws. However, I feel the ‘lists of clients’ section which I provided was paraphrased significantly enough to give an unbiased valuation of those looking to adopt the technology in their sales campaigns. I am disappointed to read that this article may be deleted as spam as Augmented Reality could easily change the way in which we shop online. All I am doing in this article is highlighting those retail businesses that are making the leap to AR technology as a bid to increase their sales. I am more than happy to further paraphrase the article to meet wiki rules if need be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TechnoCharmer (talk • contribs) 09:28, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The client list material that I removed was at best a close paraphrase which is still not acceptable, and in many cases was word for word copying. The remaining material still reads like a press release which I suspect is due to using press release type information as a source. -- Whpq (talk) 14:08, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable sporting event. This event does not seem to be sanctioned by any national or international governing body, and appears to be a local tournament with no demonstrated notability. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:15, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Dubai trophy is one of the major 12 goal tournaments at Ham Polo Club. The club is a fully affiliated Hurlingham Polo Association club. The tournament is therefore an HPA tournament played under their guidelines. The dubai trophy is not a local tournament, this year it attracted teams from Thailand, Pakistan and Jordan as well as the UK. The runners up in the final last year included England polo captain Luke Tomlinson. Hissam Ali Hyder, the highest handicapped Pakistani international is a regular player as well. The trophies donor is also a very important figure in the sport worldwide.
For these reasons i believe the tournament deserves its own article.
Many Thanks

article about television show has no refs that establish notability, only links to websites associated with the program; search for term on google turns up little information about the subject. wasn't sure if this qualified for db-a7 as it does appear to be an actual show, or possibly db-spam considering the promotional aspect of the links. i am neutral in terms of the deletion, nominating article for other editors consideration.

Comment/Request My news search picks up a bunch in German, including something from MTV, but I can't pass judgement on it since I don't actually speak any German. Can someone look up to see what that says, generally I'd agree with the nom about english sources, but there is an allowance for foreign language sources, and if the MTV coverage isn't trivial, we might have enough for notability.

Consensus seems to agree upon delete. The DOCS is not at AFD -- although anyone could have added it or could list it in future -- so speculation on whether DOCS is notable or not has not been tested at AFD and a redirect would have been a valid conclusion, but this was not the choice of participants overall. Also noting that the one voice not proposing deletion is considered by some to be heavily COI on the topic. A checkuser has confirmed that user:Chris DDS and user:Sedation guru who edited these articles are the same person.

References There are both subjective and academic references to Michael Silverman -
Reference #5 is an interview with the Wealthy Dentist University.
Reference #6 is an article published on www.DrBicuspid.com and reprinted on another doctor's professional site. www.drbicuspid.com is a professional site about the field of Dentistry.
Reference #7 is an article by the New York Times. New York Times Article, "My Root Canal? It’s a Blur, March 6, 2008." Republished with permission on the www.sedationcare.com website
Reference #8 Is an academic study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association in which Dr. Michael Silverman played a vital role.
An additional reference is given to the Wall Street Journal at the bottom of the page.
While there are articles written by Dr. Michael Silverman himself, there are also 3rd-party articles referencing Dr. Silverman as a notable professional in his field.

- KEEP. She is a clearly notable public figure, highlighting the extreme situation in the area around Ciudad Juarez. She has not yet accomplished anything in her tenure, no -- but a general lack of accomplishment does not indicate that someone is not notable. Most politicians do not accomplish anything, but are still notable public figures. More press will certainly surround the mystique of the single mother/college student/police chief of one of the most violent areas of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.81.81.83 (talk) 15:26, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment A difficult question. All the sources I found deal with her appointment to the function, therefore this article could be an expample of WP:BLP1E.

Countless people admire her all around the world for what she did, and for her incredible courage already. And you can be sure as Hell that she will become someone of great significance in Mexico, if she’s not killed or beheaded anytime soon. If you delete her page, then delete the long one of Paris Hilton who, truly, never did any accomplishment of any value as yet, and has no talent in particular but overhyping her self. If ever there is no objective reason not to delete Marisol Valles Garcia’s page, then, please, don’t do it as the expression of a support similar this Wikipedia enjoys as a great work of universal value; no one will ever dare accuse Wikipedia of being partisan for doing so.

It seems to me that most of the commenters on this page confuse notability with newsworthiness. Being named police chief in one of Mexicos most troubled areas while merely a 20-year old college student is newsworthy, as is self-evident from the media coverage the event has garnered globally. However, Wikipedia is not a news service. Notability requires that the subject of an article is known for something else than a single event, and so far Chief Valles Garcia is only known for her position.
I feel obliged to quote from WP:BLP1E: "Merely being in the news does not imply someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them."
For the time being, Mrs./Ms. Valles Garcia (I was unable to determine whether she is married or not) has been covered in the news only in relation with her acceptance of her new post. In the future, this may change, and the expansion of her own article may be warranted, but for the time being, redirection to Práxedis G. Guerrero Municipality and creation of a subsection there is the correct course of action in keeping with Wikipedia guidelines. Mleivo (talk) 04:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The 20-year-old female police chief of one of Mexico's most violent cartel areas is unlikely to remain "a low-profile individual". WP:BLP1E is about events, but a position is not an event. Furthermore, the intention of WP:BLP is to protect individuals from unwanted exposure, but in cases where the individual has chosen to step into public view themselves, this no longer applies. Lampman (talk) 10:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Lampman nails it. Further, this person is already not a low profile individual. Scrutiny of her and this town is very high. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect into Crime in Mexico/Mexican Police Force. Certainly not "extremely notable" as a biography but worthy of a mentioning in an article discussing Mexican crime.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:23, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- weak keep. The article is currently probably more of news thing. Hoewever there seems to have a rather extensive worldwide media coverage of her (see Interwikis and there sources), imho that provides enough notability.--Kmhkmh (talk) 09:50, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The large number of interwikis was apparently due to false linking caused by an editing error. Nevertheless there are 2 real interwikis and there sources still indicate a global coverage of the story.--Kmhkmh (talk) 10:01, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- KEEP This woman has already done something highly notable by being prepared to take on the role of Chief of Police. She has a clearly defined strategy that is different to that of her predecessors and is striving to achieve peace through peaceful means. Whether she is able to do so or not, given the extraordinary risk to herself, she has set an example not only to her own people and to all Mexicans but to people, young and old, around the world. I shall be amazed if she is not put forward for the Nobel Peace Prize in due course. For Wikpedia NOT to have an entry, that can be extended in time, seems to me to undermine its credibility as a source of authoritative knowledge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ursus-deningeri (talk • contribs) 12:28, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And sure enough, in this case there are plenty of hits at Google News [9] ranging from the Tasmania Examiner to ABC News.

The page from the Tagalog Wikipedia tl:Labanan sa Tulay ng Yultong reads: "04:04, 15 Disyembre 2008 Bluemask (Usapan | ambag) nabura ang "Labanan sa Tulay ng Yultong" (nilalaman ay: original research/hoax)". Article is unsourced, non-verifiable, reads like a diary entry which is non-encyclopedic. Dubious content. Contains a copyvio from http://www.timawa.net/forum/index.php?topic=22488.0 (note that this is an internet forum, and not a valid source). -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 04:03, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, but bust down to a stub. Regarding the copyvio concern, at least, the phrasing in the Wikipedia article antedates that forum post, so copyvio isn't a problem. As for the event itself ... at some point in the past, this article was moved from Battle of Yultong to its current title. The original name, however, is somewhat more productive for sources. That said, there's not a lot of them -- primarily specialist works on military history, published in the Philippines and not available online. Regardless, there's some indication that the battle was considered locally significant in the Philippines, and the unit involved was among the foreign units given the US Army Distinguished Unit Citation during the Korean War (for actions immediately following this battle, however). Bottom line, though, the event is verifiable and not a hoax, although the current text very likely needs to be stubbified again until someone can track down potential sources (in particular: Philippine Campaigns by Uldarico Baclagon, published by Graphic House in 1958; and Military History of the Philippines, also by Baclagon, published 1975 by Saint Mary's Publishing). Serpent's Choice (talk) 04:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The article, as written, clearly does not meet Wikipedia standards. The primary problem is lack of references. Yet the topic is an important one, and the event has historical significance. A web search on the topic yields lots and lots of hits. This article has a great deal of potential, if someone took the time to fix it. Ebikeguy (talk) 04:43, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but delete everything except the lead. The content suspected of being a copyvio probably is a copyvio, but not from the forum that the nominator identifies. The forum post is dated July 19, 2010, but versions of this article from before that date still include the text in question. The battle appears to be notable, but the article needs to be written with sourced information. SnottyWong confess 13:59, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

JIP | Talk 07:21, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - This was nominated for deletion less than a month previous with overwhelming KEEP agreement. The article has multiple third party sources. Nothing wrong with it. Mathewignash (talk) 09:37, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - While I don't wanna delete the article yet, there is something terrily worng with it. The subject. An article shouldn't be about multiple characters that simply share a name. Yet, Dirgegun and Insecticon Dirge are also covered here. The article should just be about the blue conehead and his various incarnations, the other guys are unrelated and unimportant. NotARealWord (talk) 17:05, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I strongly object to the removal of the other incarnations. It is relevant information and should stay. --Divebomb (talk) 17:55, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Dirgegun and the Insecticon aren't the same character. An article should not simply be about "separate, pretty much unrelated, characters who share a name". The conehead guy might be notable. The others can be mentioned in disambiguation links, at most. I pointed out this kinda issue already at this AfD.

- Speedy close - Inappropriate to renom ~1 month after previous keep-consensus AfD. --EEMIV (talk) 10:37, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:BEFORE #4 with strong encouragement for merge. There are a few possible character lists where the content can be merged into. And if content is merged, then per WP:COPYWITHIN, the article cannot be deleted. Also the last AfD was just a month ago and did not give enough time for other editorial actions to take place. And finally, a topic does not have to be covered by CNN, NBC, or other mainstream media sources in order to be presumed notable. The requirement is significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources, which is a much broader standard than "mainstream" sources. In fact, nominations citing just lack of coverage by mainstream media instead of all reliable sources are dubious nominations. —Farix (t | c) 15:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. But only until we have a suitable character list. The list of Decepticons page is just plain unhelpful. Unlike Ransack, this character is important enough for a mention. NotARealWord (talk) 16:39, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Procedural Close Dubious nomination with incredibly weak rationale. And, quite frankly, renominating only a month after a previous AFD ended with a "keep" result shows an incredible lack of respect for recent consensus. Possibly renominate later on, but have someone who actually understands the notability guidelines do it. --Divebomb (talk) 15:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep or merge: There is another book reference apart from the one already in the article. Plus a Google search shows that the term is used in many official anime convention policies (e.g. [12]), so it is indeed an engrained term in this culture. In my opinion we should apply the benefit of the doubt: the concept appears indeed notable in the real-world meaning that it is a widespread part of a non-trivial culture. Otherwise, let us find a merge target. --Cyclopiatalk 13:14, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The term is common in a bunch of sub-cultures that commonly use weapons as props, not only sci-fi/fantasy conventions but also SCA events, ren faires, and LARPS. Not sure there would be much to say about it other than a definition, but not sure what a good merge target would be either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmusser (talk • contribs) 2010-10-14 14:54:35
- Well done Cyclopia for finding that second source. I found probably the same set of things saying that "XYZ must be peace bonded", but scant little actually saying what peace-bonding actually was. Without the books, this would be unverifiable: something that is known, but that the world at large hasn't recorded as known. With the books, there is verifiable knowledge to be had. It's not very much, though, and a merger into a more general discussion may indeed be appropriate unless further sources come to light discussing this subject in depth. (I haven't found any.)

- Keep. It also looks like there's some history to the topic that can be scrounged up. Pournelle wrote a blurb about it in the context of shifting expectations in the convention environment circa 1980, in an editorial passage in the 1982 Nebula Award Stories Sixteen. There are doubtless also considerable references in early 1980s fanzines for anyone with the wherewithal to track down such obscure materials. Finally, there's at least some reference to the practice in several books on ceremonial paganism, showing context outside the convention scene. I'm already hunting down elusive titles for a couple other articles, so I can't really be the one to fully source this, but it's certainly a practice with some currency.

- Keep -- The nomination states Shoyusupov was only known for one event. But, as the article says, there was 'a first, March 2004 bombing. Following the March bombing a large number of suspects, including Shoyusupov, were arrested, on suspicion they were involved in the bomb plot. Fifteen of the men are to stand trial. Shoyusupov is one of the men set free. Shoyusupov explodes a second bomb, in July, in the court house where his comrades are to stand trial. Honestly, why should this be considered a single event? Geo Swan (talk) 00:35, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Ref 1,5,7,10, 11 are all not independent of the website.
- Ref 2 is trivial coverage, per WP:WEB
- Ref 3 I can't read
- Ref 4 is not a Reliable Source
- Ref 6 is not about surfacestations.org at all
- Ref 8 is more about watts than about the website. The name of the website is only mentioned in a list of several "see also" type links

- Ref 12 Also counts towards WP:WEB criteria 1
- Ref 13 is an editorial
- Keep A google search for "surfacestations.org" returns 10,200 results - this indicates a significant interest in the surfacestations project, independent of the notability of its founder. A main rule for WP:WEB is "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself". A significant number of the 10,200 google results are carefully presented appraisals or critiques of the project and cannot be dismissed as trivial references.

- Not particularly impressive. The first opinion piece contains such an off-hand reference that I cannot see how it would help us write anything at all.

- Delete I agree that the NPR piece doesn't really add to notability of the church. The idea of a church giving encouragement and lifting spirits, for people during tough times, certainly isn't unique to Raleigh, North Carolina. That's where the reporter happened to be when the report was made, but it could have been anywhere.

Weak keepA bit of Google searching implies that there are possibly unrelated secondary sources covering this (which would make it meet WP:GNG), although the article doesn't seem to be covering the sources, and I can't access the apparent sources myself. We really need some sort of ultimatum for this: add sources that show significance, or conclude that the article isn't significant. --ais523 23:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)- Delete per WP:V; my attempts at finding sources failed, and it seems unlikely that more will turn up in the future.

- Keep On the notability issue, if notability of the entry is judged by the exclusivity and notability of the recipients this seems to be a very distinguished, as well as notable, award. Among the listed recipients three have already been awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Several of the others that are among the ones that are frequently mentioned as possible future prize recipients. Among the listed deceased recipients, several are extremely notable economists like John Muth ("the Father of the Rational Expectations Revolution in Economics"), Albert Ando (the first who developed tractable overlapping-generation models), and Jan Mossin (derived the Capital Asset Pricing Model, CAPM). On the documentation issue, it is no reason to believe that the current information on the page is not true. I nonetheless fully agree with users GrapedApe and ais523 that it preferably should be better documented. If we agree on notability conditional on that the information could be verified we can go ahead and find public verification for the current page. - Buldri (talk) 05:47, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- GrapedApe is right that "notability isn't inherited". However, none of the cases listed apply here. The characteristics that qualify a prize for "notability" should be its selection mechanism and recognition of such. When such a large proportion of the winners of the Alexander Henderson Award has made contributions to economics that have changed the practice of the field forever and the prize is recognized as such, it is undoubtably "notable". Definitely a separate keep. 128.111.225.207 (talk) 19:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- After researching the article about the denomination, I have some grave doubt about that wholly–unsourced number. In the early 70s it only had 7,000 members, according to a reliable source given in the church's article. The current leader says that there's 63 churches in the association and that would average out to almost 800 members per church. Most of the congregations of this kind of church tend to be quite small. If that's going to be the assertion that's going to rescue the Bishop's article, then it needs to be sourced.

- Comment Since the title Bishop can be purchased for a small donation from a number of small churhes, one should not assume that a person is notable because he is a bishop. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 19:23, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- While my research has found some indirect evidence that Speights was, indeed, connected with the Original Church of God or Sanctified Church denomination, that's all I've been able to find. It would seem to me that the bigger problem here is not the purchased–title one, but the lack of evidence that he had the title at all, regardless of how he got it, and even if it is true that he was given the title by the Original Church of God or Sanctified Church denomination, whether "presiding bishop" necessarily means the CEO or CEO–equivalent of the denomination, which according to its history has used various titles for that position. Ultimately, the big problem is that there are just no sources, even non–reliable ones for this article. Regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 19:01, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as snow keep. My gut feeling tends me to side toward deletion far more often than is average for an admin hereabouts, and my awareness of this is what makes me generally avoid the closing of AfDs. But even as a sporadic "deletionist", I'm puzzled by this nomination. Whether or not a merge would have been warranted, a request to merge would at least have been understandable; by contrast, a request to delete an article, however bad, on a popular ("bestselling") book by an unusually well known novelist is baffling indeed.

This editor seems to have nominated a considerable number of books for deletion, each time saying only that it doesn't meet notability standards. Most of the books are major releases with clear notability. I don't think these nominations meet the level of thoughtfulness in initiating an AfD that the community should expect. Perhaps an admin would see fit to close all of these AfDs?

I declined CSD for this as it does not fall under the WP:CSD#A7 criterion. I then PRODded it and the PROD tag was removed.

The sources are century-old astronomy enthusiasts drawing on the work of an essayist who posited the existence of this god based on strange conjecture into constellation origins. Their reliability is questioned by a scholar here and by a well-informed amateur here and here. Nothing in the modern Egyptological literature I’ve read corroborates the existence of this god, unless the name is a distortion of Babi. I’ve informed the article’s author of the problem but received no response. A. Parrot (talk) 20:16, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- From the link provided it seems clear that the source is highly questionable and that no other references refer to "Kapi" (to our knowledge).

- Nearly all of those books are decades out of date, and all seem to be either written by James F. Hewitt, the unreliable originator of the idea, or passing mentions derived from his work. The results are further proof that Egyptologists have not written about Kapi. If the Egyptians had such a god, you would think that Egyptologists, the people who actually study Egyptian writings, would have noticed. A. Parrot (talk) 01:49, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(Slight) merge and redirect, possibly to Set (mythology) (which, sadly, needs some love as an unrelated issue). This essentially constitutes a WP:FRINGE theory of preclassical Egyptian mythology, and should be given only its due weight as such. Serpent's Choice (talk) 16:53, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure that it deserves any weight even as a fringe notion. Hewitt's ideas were adopted by a few other people, but there's no indication that they were widely popular in the 19th century, let alone today. Allen's book is still widely read, but the bit about Kapi is only a small portion of the whole. Aside from that, I don't know what page would be best to merge this to. Yes, Hewitt drew a connection between Kapi and Set, but he also drew a connection between Kapi and Cepheus, Kapi and Caiaphas, and who knows what else. If we had an article on Hewitt, we could put this there, but we don't. A. Parrot (talk) 18:34, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Point well taken. I took a look at some of the material we'd need to work with. I think an article on Hewitt could be sustained, and if so, this might indeed get a quick mention there. But I've reconsidered sidling any existing article with it, and there's not nearly enough of value in the article at current to support keeping around in the off chance that someone will write an article on Hewitt to give it a home.

- Delete I think it's clear that the 1963 date for the source in the article is irrelevant. Dover reprint old books so they continue to be available as historic texts (I have several) - they usually make a point of not editing or commenting on them. It's clear that Allen was working from a source predating a good understanding of primate classification, Kemitic Egyptian, and philology in general. "Kapi" (gefe in Ancient Egyptian) is not 'ape' but 'monkey', specifically monkeys of the genus Cercopithecus. Everything falls by the wayside after that - no text in my possession from Spence's 1915 Myths of Ancient Egypt through to Meeks & Meeks 1993 Daily Life of the Egyptian Gods to Wilkinson's 2003 Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt (which helpfully groups deities by critter) features a monkey-god. So after that piece of complete WP:OR :):) I would say to delete this article, as it has no merge target in the Kemitic area, no current article about the originators of the theory, and it's probably very rude, as well as incorrect, to suggest that the name Caiaphas - Kayapa in Hebrew - is derived from the Egyptian word for monkey.Elen of the Roads (talk) 12:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- The link I gave was to Google books... as far as coverage, ha take a look, I chose this one (3rd result), and there's an entire page on this song (plus some which is unviewable), here's an entire Billboard article on the song.
- As a side note, there is substantial coverage of 2Pac in general, entire books written about him and his music. I would not be surprised if nearly all his songs could meet Wikipedia's req. for articles, same as the Beatles. - Theornamentalist (talk) 14:46, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Leaving aside my thoughts on comparing 2Pac to the Beatles (who have at least 13 songs with no articles on Wikipedia), the first book there ("Rebel for the hell of it") is about 2Pac, but the index of the book shows some coverage on 3 pages: I see no evidence of significant coverage: page 180: "Gilmore takes "Hit `Em Up" literally as Tupac's threat on the lives of anyone who's down with the East Coast"; page 182 ... "The only Tupac lyrics Gilmore quotes-and at length-is "Hit `Em Up"'s vituperation [quotes from the song]"; page 183 "The blunt, unimaginative threats of "Hit `Em Up" stand out to conventional music editors like a street mugging - a perfect opportunity to editorialize". With regard to the Billboard article, it is in fact only one column (10 paragraphs) - but most of that is about Tupac being unwise to release it, and the fact that it shouldn't be played on radio. Although superficially about the song, realistically it would (at most) be able to reference one or two of the sentences in that article - yet the vast majority of the information in the article is not mentioned in the Billboard article or in the book. So, I am still not convinced that the song meets the criteria for inclusion, other than as a single sentence (or two at most) in the main Tupac article -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 13:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This song could, while remaining tightly informative, be reduced to a few sentences and merged. On the other hand, I believe that it can be expanded into a very large, well sourced, individual article. There seems to be a multitude of sources available some brief, but some limited to just this song.

Not finding any sources for this play which establish its notability per WP:GNG, although the title of the play is also a very common expression, so I may have missed something. The single source in the article doesn't appear to be reliable. SnottyWong soliloquize 23:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete If it is commonly used as a play in high-school and college plays, why couldn't I find any reliable sources? I know the common name wouldn't help, but even with adding search terms to make searching easier, I still couldn't find sources. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:48, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Meh, never mind, change to weak keep thanks to the finding of sources. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - One of the tougher challenges to finagling the search engines due to the common name, however, the play was published as part of 24 Favorite One-Act Plays ISBN: 978-0-385-06617-4. It's also identified in The ultimate scene & monologue sourcebook: an actor's guide to over 1,000 monologues and scenes from more than 300 contemporary plays which would indicate it is significant work, and it's endured as a staple for actors. -- Whpq (talk) 18:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum: This google news search has false positives, but looking through the results, its evident that the play has been performed quite a bit, and would appear to have additional coverage hidden behind pay walls. -- Whpq (talk) 18:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
