Azerbaijani doctor. Claim to notability appears to be that he founded a girls school.[1] This is one of a set of pages about people of an extended family created by one editor, with an appearance of personal knowledge. [2] – Fayenatic London 23:33, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep The proposal for deletion is apparently written by someone with no knowledge of history of (tzar) Russia or Azerbaijan, with many wrong conclusions in the couple of sentences over. I would suggest study the articles in other languages that point to sources about him, and amongst others, to the archive materials in the Russian State Military Historical Archive (references to ЦГВИА or ВИА). State archives of both Azerbaijan and Russia are full of information about this person, and there has been written studies, Ph.D. research in Academy of Sciences, and articles on that topic. Also, as you can see, the person has received numerous awards/orders. What else is needed to satisfy the notability requirements? Science.nauka (talk) 13:31, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: I made the nomination in response to your edit summary ([1] above) where you stated that adding the founding of the school, and being part of the leadership of a local educational society, were grounds for notability. They are not sufficient for WP:BIO. I do not know whether the awards (2nd, 3rd and 4th class) - mentioned only in the infobox, not yet in the article itself - confer notability. – Fayenatic London 17:41, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep The article contains a reference (translation), mentioning his multiple awards: Order of Saint Stanislaus (Imperial House of Romanov), Order of St. Anna 3rd and 2nd Class and the Order of St. Vladimir 4th Class. Brandmeistertalk 13:33, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

The result was speedy delete. G7: Deletion endorsed by creator, no significant edits by other contributors. No prejudice against recreation/undeletion if/when WP:CRYSTAL no longer applies. The Bushranger One ping only 12:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

I nominated this article for deletion a while back but withdrawn on the premise that it would be expanded beyond notability. However, information about this airline apart that it was "to be created" is noexistent. At this point, since it seems that the airline has not been established, I think this could be a clear case of WP:CRYSTAL. Not to mention that it doesn't meet WP:GNG too, since most available information talks about how it was supposed to be created, and all sources who happen to mention it only repeat the same thing. — ΛΧΣ21 Call me Hahc21 23:17, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Delete, unless......these sources [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] I just found are new. They may just be old news with a new date. I'd like second opinion. Some seem to have today's date, but start with "In 2012..." sort of thing. I think they've been approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China now and are starting to build, according to some of those sources. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:22, 8 March 2014 (UTC)- Delete - The abovementioned sources #1 (October 16, 2012), #2 (August 20, 1012), #3 (October 17, 2012) and #4 (October 25, 2012) are clearly dated; #5 and #6 are in Chinese characters; and #7 is a dead link. I quote from WP:CRYSTAL: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." This announcement was made 15 months ago, and nothing came of it. Kraxler (talk) 12:55, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry about the above links. These seem to say definitively, and this year, that approval has been granted:[10][11] What do you think? Does WP:CRYSTAL still call for delete? One question is: is it an airline right now? Anyway, if it's a delete, it can be recreated. If there will be regular news to help expand the article, then maybe a keep. Either way, I'm fine with it. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:31, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Those two are in Chinese. Non-English sources can be accepted under certain circumstances, if somebody translates them, per WP:Sources. Would you care to have a complete translation of both sources made by a third party and posted here? Since the company is nowhere (except right here) mentioned in Latin script (per Google) it still won't meet WP:GNG, I suppose. You're quite correct, the article could be recreated as soon as the airline starts operations, or gets mentioned anywhere in the English-speaking universe. That shouldn't be difficult since all operating airlines get listed by IATA or some other international aviation organization. Kraxler (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- A third party translation is too much bother in this case. The article just doesn't have enough value right now. I'm moving to delete (and will strike the "delete unless" to make life easier for the closer). Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:31, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
- Kidpower (organization) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Does not appear to meet WP:ORG or WP:GNG, and now we have a sock farm emerging to promote it. There are hits in a Google search, but nothing close to an in-depth, non-routine passage in a WP:RS. Tagged as non-notable since September, orphaned since November 2006. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 23:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- This is a 2nd AFD; previous was under former article name at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KIDPOWER. --doncram 02:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. Per comment at previous AFD: "woefully inadequate nomination that brings the nominator's (sincere, but clearly not up to the task) judgement into strong question and suggests any other present and future nominations should be closely examined for possible removal as wastes of AFD time. --User:David Gerard." My quick look at Guidestar.org, source for free copies of nonprofits' financial filings with the U.S. IRS, is that the [California 501c3 part of the] organization has $545,000 net assets in 2012, received original nonprofit status in 1998, is a significant organization. Sure, the article can/should be developed, but that is not for AFD. As for allegations of sock-farming, i am not any part of such, and what evidence is there of any such issue? --doncram 00:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- That was 2008, and standards have tightened. Your attack against me is not appreciated in the slightest. Nothing in your vote is policy based whatsoever; you've made no attempt to show it meets ORG or GNG, as a directory stating that they have a particular amount of assets (which is really not that significant an amount of assets anyway) does not count. Either make a proper policy-based vote, or just delete your pointless and unhelpful attack against me. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 00:25, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- And looking at the previous AfD, almost all of the sources presented there were local sources, obvious PR sources, or clearly not in-depth coverage. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 00:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry that the quote from previous AFD seemed like an attack on you personally. It was a strong statement then, but seems relevant now in particular about any present or future nominations being a waste of AFD time. Referring to the previous AFD seems relevant as it was not mentioned in the nomination (I just inserted link to the AFD above), and maybe that suggests the nomination was not properly done. Anyhow, it seemed by consensus to be a notable organization in 2008 and seems to me significant still now, and AFD is not for cleanup to force the addition of new references. Yes, it should be developed, but that is not for AFD. --doncram 02:30, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- There is no evidence of this meeting GNG, and the sources in the previous AfD aren't close to showing that, for reasons that I've already explained. A company being worth $500k means absolutely nothing; in fact, that is quite a small company, and I'm pretty sure the company my dad used to work for was worth more before they got liquidated - owning a reasonable-sized property is immediately going to take up much of that value. Operating in numerous countries and U.S. states doesn't, by itself, show any notability either. David Gerard's vote, which you quote as being somehow relevant, was both a ridiculous personal attack and had no basis in policy either. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment The organization operates in numerous countries and through separate 501c3 corporations in numerous U.S. states. It was started in California in 1989. There is Kidpower Great Lakes and others, all having IRS 990 forms filed, so totalling to much bigger financial size than i cited above (which was just for the California branch). This is one article about all of them, and is certainly notable. --doncram 02:38, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Organizations-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 14:44, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. Maybe Wikipedia's notability guidelines should be changed to take into consideration facts such as "The organization operates in numerous countries" and having assets with a large value, but as the guidelines stand at present, those are irrelevant.
- Of the six references, three are on kidpower's own websites, two are dead links, and the other is on a personal website.
- I looked at the first four pages of hits from a Google search. First, it was necessary to weed out hits for "kidpower" that clearly have nothing to do with this organisation, such as an IMDb page for Kid Power (TV Series 1972– ), a page about Kidpower Park in San Francisco, a web page of "a support and information list for families whose children are mildly affected by cerebral palsy and/or other disabilities" etc. Once I had done that, I was left with pages on kidpower's own web site, the Wikipedia article, a Facebook page, YouTube, and that was it. There is no evidence, either in the article or anywhere else that I can find, of satisfying the current notability guidelines.
- I have checked the links to news items which were given in the last AfD discussion. Unfortunately, a few of them are dead links, but it is clear that those of them that are still active point to coverage which, as Luke says, are largely "local sources, obvious PR sources, or clearly not in-depth coverage". The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:06, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment One of the organization's employees contacted OTRS asking for help. Since they got caught up in a socking situation and their accounts are blocked, I offered and was given permission to paste these references here verbatim for other editors' consideration. I am not offering a !vote or otherwise making a case for any particular outcome.

- It is their hope that this can be considered significant coverage that might help the subject past the WP:ORG guidelines. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 19:07, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, to KidPower participant(s) and to OTRS volunteer FreeRangeFrog for that. I think that helps a lot (and have already "voted" Keep above). The above links and others from the news coverage page, document substantial coverage in my opinion. One quibble, about one item on the U.S. news coverage page: there is a summary for a linked New York Times article, which seems not quite accurate when you read the linked article. I would believe that Irene van der Zande was interviewed, and even was quoted in some version of the story, but the linked article does not include mention of her or include a quote, as the summary asserts, so it is not documented in the NYT. I zoomed in on that one because NYT is highly regarded. --doncram 13:29, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- @Doncram: Actually they do mention the org in page two, although I agree there is no mention of van Der Zande, but rather of Jim Thompson, the founder. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 16:57, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, i had seen the mention of KidPower on the page 2 continuation, maybe i should have made that clear; my quibble/complaint was that the organization's webpage summarizing news coverage seems to have at least one incorrect summary, diminishing my willingness to believe anything else they claim. But still i did vote Keep above and stand with that, and I do think this article should be kept. It is a significant group of related charitable nonprofits, with significant coverage. --doncram 01:23, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep (Kinda sorta COI notice: Several years ago I was on the board of an organization with a similar program. I don't think it's a signficant bias, but the closer can determine that for themselves.) In addition to the provided sources, I found two more sources (and stopped looking at two) in HighBeam:
- Kids learn to establish personal boundaries
- The Gazette (Colorado Springs, CO)
- March 12, 2000 | Jeremy Meyer; The Gazette
- http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8636564.html

- The Record (Bergen County, NJ)
- January 18, 2001 | VERA LAWLOR, Staff Writer
- http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-39739817.html
- I believe with the other sources already provided this is a pretty easy keep call, the two I've listed would be enough (barely) for me to argue for notability under WP:GNG by themselves. Both the two articles treat Kidpower as a primary topic, they're not one sentence or one paragraph shout outs. --j⚛e deckertalk 06:51, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

- List of Jewish footballers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is a very strange and non notable intersection. What on earth is encyclopaedic about the intersection of football and Jewishness? It is almost as if the article was created to make some sort of anti-antisemitic point (though I very much doubt that knowing the creating editor, and I am absolutely making no accusations of that). The world is not better for the existence of this article and will not be worse for the lack of it. Why does anyone actually care that Fred is Jewish and plays football? Now a list of notable Israeli football players is a different matter. But this list is artificial at best. Fiddle Faddle 22:28, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

- Strong Keep. See, for example the Speedy Keep at the AfD here at the List of Jewish Americans.
Jews as an ethnicity and nation. The Jewish ethnicity, nation, and religion of Judaism are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.[1][2][3]
Thus, in the (unusual) case of Jews, a nation that was largely dispersed 2,000 years ago from its homeland and geographic borders, it is not appropriate to delete. The Jewish nation lives largely, though now not wholly, in the Jewish diaspora. Under Israel's Law of Return, all members of the Jewish nation are automatically entitled, by virtue of being members of the Jewish nation, to return to the geographic borders of Israel, and become Israeli citizens. Other religions are, in the "normal case," distinct from the nation. In other words, there was not a Protestant, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, or Atheist nation per se. Those who are members of these religions are not members of a nation or "people." Jews, peculiarly, are not just a religion, but are also a nation. In addition to the other points presented above, this is one that militates in favor or a !keep.

Epeefleche (talk) 01:02, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - the wall of text that Epeefleche has put above is relying on a lot of WP:OSE, some incredibly small-scale sources and/or sources of dubious reliability, and a hell of a lot of things that are irrelevant to this topic (meandering off to general sports, athletics or whatever).

- It is insufficient to dismiss discussion of related articles on basis of labelling it "Other Stuff Exists".

These comparisons may or may not be valid...." (emphasis added by me). I think in the past that there were lots more truly bad articles, so pointing to them did seem unhelpful, but there has been so much development in Wikipedia that it is increasingly relevant and important to consider our apparent standards reflected in comparable articles. --doncram 02:56, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- If you actually bother to look at the things Epeefleche was citing, rather than following me around and attacking me in AfD debates, you'll see that none of them are relevant to this particular topic, because none of the mentioned ones are directly relevant to football, and only one is relevant to sportsmen and sportswomen.

- Here's a good one: List of footballers called Abdur Rahman! Andrew (talk) 11:57, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - a list of Jewish sportspeople would certainly be notable (I noticed this when I found Feierstein's book, Historia de los judíos argentinos, which dedicates a full section to Argentine sportspeople that were Jews), and this is simply a component of such a list (including all sports in a single list would be unmanageable). 03:33, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. This is a more detailed subset of the list contained at List of Jews in sports, which was speedy-kept pursuant to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Jews in sports (3rd nomination). As demonstrated there and in other discussions over the years, this is unquestionably a notable topic that has been discussed in a plethora of sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:47, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. the list is more than a handful, so its a significant number, thus of presumable interest to someone. the 2 criteria are very well defined. you are always either jewish or not jewish, and a footballer or not. no one is "sort of" either. lists or categories of intersections of 2 notable subjects are i believe usually kept if definable and notable (ie if there are any that fit the intersection, or more than a few). I think people react to "jewish" as a modifier as it often sounds racist, even when its not meant that way. i find it odd to see in print, but its a gut reaction not usually justified by the context, which is neutral in this case.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:27, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Strong Keep this is a well-structured list of notable Jewish footballers, has high EV with lots of publications on the subject. It's not too broad either. Classic WP:POINT. Actually, not too long ago there was something about celebrating Jewish football in the news; I don't remember what it was about exactly but they did speak about current and past Jewish footballers around the world.

- Comment I think this article is more of genealogical interest than encyclopedic value. Many Baronetcies were in fact purchased and have been passed down through families. A baronet is different from a peerage, where the latter up until 1999 had the right to take up a seat in the House of Lords. Rather a baronet is non-notable in their own right, and I see nothing else in this guy's career history to suggest he is notable for other reasons. Flaming Ferrari (talk) 12:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Article for a firm of architects that superficially looks fine - lots of images and references. Look closer and you see that it's mostly a rehash of the controversy about their most (in)famous project which has its own article at Castle Mill. The corporate article makes no effort to establish the notability of the company itself. It's not a big company - the Company Check reference gives their net worth as ~US$1 million and their turnover as ~US$100m (which could be inflated by subcontracting, the accounting for this kind of company can be tricky). My feeling is that they're just the wrong side of the notability line, but I invite other views. Le Deluge (talk) 15:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Article is completely unreferenced, and hence lacks any evidence of notability. While I'm sure that something that may be called an 'intensional statement' exist, it's unclear that they warrant an article, and it's also particularly unclear that the particulars defined in this article are widely known or even correct, and with no references, this cannot be verified either way. I was also unable to find any treatment of it as a separate topic in Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy. I find it suspicious that the article was created by an anonymous IP in 2004, and has had no major expansion at all. There's also very few wikilinks to it, and no really necessary links I could find. Given this, I think it reasonable that the article as-is should be deleted, unless anyone is able to back-up the material with one or more solid references. GliderMaven (talk) 23:37, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I agree that the article needs refs and the topic could be explained better. But an intensional statement is, for instance, a sentence in intensional logic, which is definitely a notable topic in philosophy; see the entry in the SEP. The term is used in linguistics and semiotics as well. I don't know if it warrants a separate article, but a merge or redirect to intensional logic or intension would make more sense than deletion. --Mark viking (talk) 01:53, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

- Keep or merge By 2004 Wikipedia standards, the article actually handles a notable, if an obscure and conceptually rather difficult, topic fairly well - even the lack of references was acceptable by the standards of that time, provided the article was fairly non-controversial. The problem is that the nature of the topic and the small number of inward links has resulted in the article not getting any substantial attention since then, and it has not been updated in line with our current checklist of standards. Even the article as it stands is almost certainly sourceable, though possibly with some difficulty - it corresponds closely, right down to the specific examples, with what I remember being taught about the topic as a philosophy student in about 1977, and while I rather wonder whether the article creator was using lecture notes of a similar vintage, the same material will have been somewhere in the background reading lists for that part of the course. If I can easily find some relevant sources in my remaining philosophy books, I will add them to the article, but even if I can't, they should still be available in a sufficiently good university library. Of course, the ones I remember will be fairly old (though I would point out notability is not temporary) - but the standard GBooks search comes up with quite a number of more recent reliable sources for a more up to date article, particularly if the search is expanded to the effectively synonymous intensional sentence and intensional proposition.

- Keep selected content, but.... I am not entirely convinced that the topic is notable enough for a stand-alone article, but the place itself (name Krushë e Madhe 42°19′12″N 20°38′02″W / 42.320°N 20.634°W, according to Google Maps) would definitely seem to satisfy our usual criteria for its own article, and we already have one section in this article that (with some attention to peacock wording) would make a good start. And there would be good reason to include a further paragraph or two on the women, condensed from the rest of this article with an eye to WP:NPOV, there, and also something similar as part of a Aftermath section in Massacre at Krusha e Madhe. PWilkinson (talk) 16:13, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- Are you leaning towards a merge to Massacre at Krusha e Madhe then? The point is this is probably WP PROMOTION (judging from the emphasis put on the local economy) intended to "attract" (I don't how much success they'd have) investors to a village in Kosovo. I did not sign up for Wikipedia to keep track of promotional texts (and poorly-written ones, at that). 23 editor (talk) 16:30, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- By itself, that would be my second choice. My first choice, as we do not have an article on the village (and I would point out that almost any English village of a similar size, or indeed quite a bit smaller, has a Wikipedia article), would be to create an article on the village, starting with some of the less promotional information and more reliable sources from this article. This can reasonably include something on the village's economy and its recovery from the massacre (as well, of course, as a short paragraph or two on the massacre but referring to the main article on that for further information), but probably with only a fraction of the current detail.

Whether or not it is a genre or a classification is a minor issue, and not something that justifies deletion. It is 'a thing', and the article can be fixed. --Michig (talk) 10:38, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- I don't usually do a great deal of Wikipedia editing myself but I thought I'd weigh in. This page isn't of particularly high quality, but the genre itself absolutely exists. Whether it's a genre or a style or a categorization or whatever is rather arbitrary and doesn't really matter, whatever of those it is, it does exist, it is notable and I think in many ways, it's one of the largest movements within the modern indie scene, so I think there is reason to suggest this page should be allowed to survive. I think it's reasonably clear that the majority of this page's problems could be fixed through a thorough cleanup and inclusion of better research rather than a blanket deletion. - Jarred 22:27, 13 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.249.25.64 (talk)
- Keep. Indietronica is definitely a genre, though I do agree the article itself is a mess and could use a major rewrite. However, because it is a genre, it should be kept. --StellaBella242 — Preceding undated comment added 03:40, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing. I added some remotely reliable sources. Any additional steps required to prevent deletion? I plan to extend the article beyond stub as well, but right now I want to make sure the stub at least isn't deleted. --AronVanAmmers (talk) 15:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- I removed their use in the article (two failed WP:RS and one was a trivial mention, in my opinion), but will repeat them here for peoples' consideration. The article's state itself doesn't particularly matter at this point (you can include media coverage here or there); adding more info without independent sources won't impact the decision. It's up to others to consider the question of notabiliity, which will probably hinge on "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (From the WP:GNG). I stand corrected in my original statement; the Sydney Morning Herald is a reliable source, and does mention KittehCoin trivially; and while I don't consider Cryptocoins News a reliable source ("third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy"), it's at least in a gray area.
- Cryptocoins News, 26 January 2014.
- Coinchomp, 4 of February 2014 ("Bitcoin Tech & Culture Blog").
- Sydney Morning Herald, 8 February 2014. "Others have exotic names such as ripples, megacoin, kittehcoin, lottocoin, doubloons, hobonickels, nanotoken and philosopher stones."
- You can vote to keep the article yourself; begin a reply with a * and put the word keep in bold, then explain your reason(s). I hope you'll really consider the question, based on the guidelines in WP:GNG.

The claim to notability is that the products are so popular that the term is used generically for waterproof cases. I see no evidence of that. I do see such indications of deliberate promotionalism as a list, complete with bold face headings, of all their products, details about their guarantee, and a listing of minor awards, including ones for a "growing" company, which means not yet notable. The references are almost entirely from promotional sites. The editor has written a number of similar articles for various people and companies. I am listing this for deletion rather than trying to fix it on the principle that clearly promotional editing for topics of borderline notability, should be a reason for deletion. We can delete here for whatever we think harmful or improper to the encyclopedia, and this sort of editing is in that category. DGG ( talk ) 19:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- While the article as written does read a bit like a puff piece, and the internal sourcing isn't great, I think that the subject does nonetheless fairly clearly meet WP:GNG. OtterBox products have received fairly extensive coverage in the mainstream and tech media: ZDNet[14], the Raleigh News and Observer[15], Macworld[16] and [17], The Coloradoan[18], etc. The writing is a bit promotional, but not irredeemably so, IMO.

- Comment. Article is pretty clearly WP:PROMO (very weird to have a patents section, for example), but that doesn't take away from its notability necessarily.

- Belle Knox (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Several reasons:
- WP:BLP1E: "Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. We should generally avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met:
- If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
- If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
- If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented..."
So far this person's life seems to meet the first 2 of these 3 criterion, as there is very little about Knox's life that will ever be public at this time, so any article Wikipedia will have about her will be slanted towards her porn career and violate NPOV and BLP.
Additionally, Knox fails WP:PORNBIO at this time. There is no evidence of Knox being "featured multiple times in notable mainstream media" or "[making] unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre."
Finally, do no harm; Knox was reluctant even to publicize her stage name at first due to repetitive doxxing by Internet misogynist trolls. Arbor to SJ (talk) 07:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete I do not e how we can possibly cover this without much better sources and indications that it will be of lasting interest. This is the sort of news story that verges on tabloid, and is therefore one where we should iterpret BLP quite strictly. DGG ( talk ) 09:11, 7 March 2014 (UTC) .
- Comment: I'm going to try to clean this up, but so far I'm leaning towards "one event". I think that if it is deleted then we should allow someone to incubate it in their userspace until more coverage comes, though. I have a feeling that this will get listed in a textbook somewhere, but right now I'm leery about having this on here given how incredibly nasty the comments and trolling have been about her. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:32, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm... it looks like the coverage here is global and quite heavy. CNN's Piers Morgan interviewed her and there's lengthy pieces in papers from other countries such as the Times of India. I think she might be one of the exceptions to the one event rule. I'm bringing in people from the feminism WP to help edit, though. I haven't really made a decision on notability either way. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:20, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Undecided. I'm honestly torn. This sits inbetween the line of notable and non-notable for me. I'm going to remain undecided on this one, but I'd heavily emphasize that I'd like someone to userfy this if it is deleted. I have a very strong suspicion that she'll be mentioned in the future in women's study and human sexuality texts, so if that does happen we can always have a clean copy to pull from. (A feminism WP editor would be best, but I'm willing to put it in my userspace as well.) However I'm kind of unsure as to whether or not we have enough coverage to really justify an article at this time. It could really go either way. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- I would like to state that nobody add her real name to the article. I've seen one or two places drop what may be her name, but until she confirms her real identity I'd like to politely ask that nobody add it. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:46, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Tokyogirl79 I actually wrote that the day that she revealed herself, so that is why I decided to do it at that time, since we wouldn't be using a pseudonym there. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:57, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Shoot, I misread the original article when it came out, so thanks for correcting that! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:58, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
CommentKeep: I'm with Tokyogirl79 on this, it could go either way. The story has recently appeared also on Fox News and New York Post as well as the respectable CBS News. These are very recent entries (5 March 2014) so we are at best only just clearing the single-event hurdle. The CNN report and the CBS article suggests that the story is moving from what started as frankly tabloid titillation to serious discussion, reflection and reportage; the Daily Mail article today (7 March 2014) is a relatively reliable source, being (for those unfamiliar with the British press) somewhere between the red-top tabloids and serious newspapers. Das Bild (in German, 6 March 2014) is similarly on the borderline between serious and glitzy. I'd say the subject was clearly shown to be noteworthy, given that the absurd cost of tuition fees in different countries is driving students to all manner of ploys. Belle Knox has certainly achieved notoriety in a BLP1E manner, and appears very likely to continue to be cited as a prime example by the serious press around the world. Once the New York Times and The Guardian have talked about it, there will be no doubt this should be a Wikipedia article. Right now, it's very close to the required level. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC)WeakStrong keep.I'm also torn between delete and keep as others editors are, but based on the attention this has been getting I'd say keep.This doesn't appear to be just another porn star being outed, it's actually one who stands up and fights back.

Both she and several of the sources covering this event (including everything from blogs and gossip sites to realible sources) have covered the fact that she became a porn actress in order to finance her studies, but also how she was treated once outed and how this changed and went public after responding to the initial bullying and threats. There has also been follow-ups to this story, where several sources try to put it into a bigger picture on how woman are treated for having similar desires as men, or when they try to make independent and unusual choices. Looking at BLP1E I observe the following:
- Reliable sources cover her for being outed as a porn star and the bullying associated with it. They also puts the bullying into a bigger context of threats and violence against women, and for me this goes beyond the "one event" rule.
- She initially wanted to be low-profile, but when the story exploded (after giving initial anynonomous interviews) she went public, got worldwide attention and not only attacked the bullies but also on the way society discriminates against "woman who transgresses the norm"[25]. By doing this, and also appearing on television she made a choice to stand up and become a public figure (at least to a certain extent).
- BLP1E says that it should only apply for low-profiled people, but in my opinion that doesn't matter in this case as the specific event has grown into a much bigger thing. Bjelleklang - talk 20:58, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

- Keep When I created this, I thought about the fact that she might not even be notable due to the one even rule. Since then, as mentioned above, I have seen Belle's name in a discussion about the news media and sensationalism, as well as multiple news sites. The fact that she had been communicating on oxJane in order to discuss these events, and not just from a "Hey, look at me!" stand shows that even the smaller news sites have picked up her story and want to run with it as well. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 16:57, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete No offense to the subject or anyone else's rationale, but this isn't a new thing at all; back in the 90's the major networks and Lifetime harangued the public with 'I strip to pay for college' news stories/TV movie adaptations all the time, and this isn't very different from that at all besides the new twist of online harassment. I have WP:BLP1E concerns, along with the usual "speck in the 24 hour news cycle" facet these stories usually get. Nate • (chatter) 16:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Obviously this is BLP1E/ONEEVENT and rather pruriently so too. Its far too early to see the enduring level of courage needed to overcome 1E and the argument about her going public rather miss the point that she did so to defend herself from personal attacks and abuse. Sorry but there is too much harm here for BLP in what can only ever be a sensational non-educational article. Spartaz Humbug! 21:31, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
- The coverage in the better newspapers is far from prurient - it is reflective, intelligent and discursive, given the seriousness of the issues of society's provision of education, and more. The 1E thing is starting to look wrong, too, given that she shows no sign of becoming 'low-profile' - she has indeed outed herself, and is actively publishing her own point of view on the issues. That the tabloids also did what tabloids do is a side issue - they always do that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:48, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Delete I'm going with a "Delete" on this one – there are many, many college girls in the United States that do porn for a living. The only reason this is slightly significant is because of the school she attends; however, the information included here verges on gossip/tabloid and isn't fit for an encyclopedia. Mikecf10 (talk) 01:27, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- At the risk of sounding like I am badgering here, if you read the article and what Tokyogirl79 wrote above, there is discussion on the legacy of her in the article, and there is probably more out there if I decided to actually look. To call her a porn star is a bit much, but so is putting her amongst the many college students who participate in porn each year, as she decided to come out with her struggle and put a voice to many other situations which occur on college campuses each year. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:59, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sure, while she may have "put a voice" to those situations, her actual legacy remains to be seen. Will this fade after the month, or will this girl go on to be some sort of vocal leader in the industry? I think, for now, its just an intriguing news story. Though, I do understand your point here on the whole. Mikecf10 (talk) 20:23, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that her potential is something that we obviously don't know, as we cannot see into the future (yet). Based on her prior actions, I think she will coast a bit on the fame before it settles down, and we really won't know until another year or two what her overall legacy will be.

- No, they don't, but the thing is that she has received controversy and coverage in the news. What we're trying to look at is the depth and coverage Knox has received. That she got it by doing online pornography shouldn't automatically discredit any news she has received.

I'm half of a mind to request deletion for the time being because I have a suspicion that it'd only get continually attacked.

- Weak keep I did a Google news search and there are almost 30,000 articles for her. She appeared on CNN Perice Morgan. She is taking a stand on political issue. She has spoken out on a womans right to maker her own choice. She has also on the interview on CNN made the comment that she thought this story would go away. But she said because stood up to defender her self and her choice she is still in the news. I think part of this is true. I don't think she will stay low profile if she does go to law school this will be more news and if she does work to help sex workers for a future career that will make even more news. While I know this is not strong support. I say keep it up just because she is making news Jsgoodrich (talk) 19:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - Easily passes the GNG. She does not qualify for BLP1E as she is not a low profile individual considering she's a porn star and she put herself on Piers Morgan. Furthermore her being a porn star who is also a Duke University student is not exactly 1E. If you consider her self-outing as the only notable 1E, her continued media appearances are separate events even if they are derived from the initial outing.

- Delete. I compare this to the Charles Ramsey issue. He was huge in the media...got worldwide coverage...but is still basically known for a single event, which is why his name redirects to the Ariel Castro kidnappings. I believe George Zimmerman also used to link to an article about the Trayvon Martin
murdershooting until he became (in)famous on his own with all of his post-trial behavior. When Belle Knox becomes infamous on her own or does something of merit (other than get exposed by a classmate), then she'll warrant her own article. Until then, she's just some random porn actress with a temporary spotlight. LoomisSimmons (talk) 06:21, 9 March 2014 (UTC)- Ramsay wasn't taking a provocative political stand. He was famous for "being there" and for being, generally, quotable. Knox is currently newsworthy for the stands she is taking, which is why she is quoted in the more serious media than Ramsay was. The issue of how sex workers are viewed by society is an issue just coming to the forefront, and Knox is, in part, a catalyst. This is fairly different than Ramsay.

- Question: Would this merit a mention in the applicable pages for pornography and its criticism? Maybe Feminist views of pornography or Internet pornography? Or perhaps a mention at Student_debt#Student_reactions? This is a reaction to the cost of tuition and how for her, porn was a better option than student loans. She's not the only person who has done something like this, so the subject of this (working in the sex industry as a way of dealing with debt) as a whole would be worth mentioning somewhere, and she could be a brief mention.

You are no better yourself if you keep countering every recent keep vote with meaningless notability criteria.

- My apologies, as I meant to imply that when you focus on one aspect of her work and ignore everything else (i.e. the coverage about her which doesn't talk about her film work, which is a lot when compared to people who actually have awards for this stuff), you can easily blanket over the other things that she has done.

Sure, she might be the flavor-of-the-month in porn strumpets (Melissa King now redirects to a section on Miss Delaware Teen USA that calls her performance frigid), but the coverage on this one is significant and likely will have larger implications. Well, I gather she's notable per the reputable news sources enough to have Wikipedia spread the word. I think that word is "legs".

Insofar as the case has been a fulcrum for discussions about gender roles, the accetability or lack thereof as pornographic actors as legitimate professions, et al, Belle Knox is a sparking incident. But it's still one-event coverage with some BLP concerns. As such I think BLP1E trumps. As noted elsewhere, discussion around the topic may in fact by relevant in non-person-centered articles, but a biography is not the place for it. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 13:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

- The problem (as others have mentioned) is that we have no way of knowing if the name is true or not. It probably is, but as one of those sources say: Several blogs identified her as [redacted]. . We normally wouldn't consider a blog a reliable source, so why should we do that now? Bjelleklang - talk 20:46, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep for now - People are using WP:BLP1E as a justification to delete this article. But that argument is becoming less and less convincing as news coverage shifts from college student turned porn actress to other major issues in our society like woman's right, freedom, bullying to even whether U.S. college is overpriced. This is no longer one event, IMO. Reliable sources no longer cover Knox solely in the context of porn, but have extended to other issues as well. Whether Knox remains a low-profile individual remains to be seen, but it is not unreasonable to assume that she would be cited as an example in literatures regarding woman's freedom or bullying of sex workers.—Chris!c/t 23:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- The facts are, Knox meets the DEFINITION of a BLP1E because:
- "...reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event." Right now she's only known for her porn side projects.
- "If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article." Will anyone care about Belle Knox in 1, 2, 5, 10 years? consider that.
- The facts are, Knox meets the DEFINITION of a BLP1E because:
Arbor to SJ (talk) 23:45, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- You can also argue that she doesn't meet BLP1E because she appears to have become a high-profile individual (after her blogposts at XOJane), and also that this event has become about something bigger than her outing. We don't know what will happen in 1, 2, 5 or 10 years, so we can only look at the coverage now and base notability on that. For me she is notable, more so since there has been more or less worldwide coverage from multiple reliable sources. If she however turns out to vanish after this has settled we can always renominate the article for deletion at a later stage. Bjelleklang - talk 07:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Will anyone care about Belle Knox in 1, 2, 5, 10 years? No one can say for sure. That is the problem. And I argue that this is beyond one event at this point. The dialogue has gone from porn to bigger issues that I mentioned earlier.—Chris!c/t 00:11, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Back when the story first broke, this would have been a BLP1E issue, with the event being "outing of a Duke University porn student." But as the story has gone on, she's being used in other context, in other stories - "porn student outed for doing porn" and "porn student had to do porn to pay for school" are different stories, as the second has been standing alone in independent coverage, divorced from the first story. She's not a low-profile individual at this point and I don't think, even if she was, that we're even dealing with one event anymore. The variety of coverage of this individual strongly suggests to me that that she falls squarely within the general notability guidelines. Guidelines for porn notability don't really apply here either as the basis of the arguments for her notability aren't based on her personal accomplishments in the pornographic industry, they're based on the general guidelines. It's irrelevant that Lee Harvey Oswald fails WP:SOLDIER because his notability is derived from another story, even if the abilities he trained in were utilized in that other story.

Keep, meets GNG, and well beyond BLP1E, which is more to cover someone embarrassing themselves, and being caught on video, and notable for only that, usually against their wishes.

This has sparked a considerable debate about the above topics and is therefore notable--but by "this" I mean the outing, not Knox herself. In short, the event is notable, but Knox isn't. Jinkinson talk to me 18:50, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
I disagree, I think that might be going in the wrong direction. It would create an WP:Undue situation where we ignore relevant content about her, and her ideas, that are not then specifically about just the controversy. I think it's better to treat her story in its entirety, and allow events to be reported in proportion to what reliable sources weigh them. Sportfan5000 (talk) 20:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[WP:Ban 18:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)]- She never said that about the topic of men watching porn. The majority of articles out there about her are not about the controversy, but about her as a person, and to say otherwise is to ignore the fact that a lot of people really don't care that she has done porn but a lot of those people care that she is being harassed for doing such a thing. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:43, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Huh? Never said what? In any case I still disagree, i think the subject should be about her entire story, not just on the controversy. Sportfan5000 (talk) 00:14, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[WP:Ban 18:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)]- Oh shoot, I meant to indent that so that it wouldn't look like a reply to you. In terms of what she never said, I misread what he said about her comparison. In terms of moving the article, I think it would be better addressed in Feminist views of pornography, as she is clearly notable at this point as a person, moreso than as a controversy.

- Comment Everyone seems to be missing the point about WP:BLP1E! Arbor to SJ (talk) 20:51, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Not really, the point of BLP1E is to protect people from being publicly shamed for a one-time mistake, or embarrassing moment caught on video, or otherwise publicized. Like an obese person, who falls down, and the video becomes a well-documented meme. This is simply a different situation. There is no one event, but a series of related events, including her own efforts to publicize her side of the story, in at least three media forums. As it stands now, she is working to control the messages about her, and use the platform to talk about issues important to her. The article perhaps doesn't meet Pornbio, but it doesn't meet BLP1E. It does meet GNG. Sportfan5000 (talk) 22:46, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[WP:Ban 18:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)]- Arbor, I have been watching your actions here, and I respect your opinion. However, since you nominated this almost a week ago, two-thirds of the community has supported keeping this article, and there has been continuous coverage of her in the news. Additionally, you have continued to point out to some of those people that she is not notable. You made a point the first time when you nominated this thing, and continued harassment of other editors is not acceptable. None of the supporters ever said that she passed PORNBIO (heck, I as the article creator never even thought she did), and she clearly has other coverage available. By continuing to state that she is subject to PORNBIO (and continually placing messages throughout this discussion to that effect), you are ignoring the fact that she is a social activist and degrading her role in society. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:43, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- Arbor, you seem not to understand the second criteria of BLP1E, specifically what makes a low profile individual. Morbidthoughts (talk) 23:46, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- Keep I am not sure it completely fails PORNBIO, but I would rather see the article kept. Web Warlock (talk) 02:44, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. People who want this article deleted should find a more compelling argument than WP:BLP1E. First, the same nominator, in his deletion rationale, basically says this is not a BLP1E case ("So far this person's life seems to meet the first 2 of these 3 criterion" when BLP1E requires each of three conditions to be met). Furthermore, actually, the subject seems to fail every BLP1E criterium, as the person is no longer being covered by reliable sources just in the context of a single event, the person is not a low-profile individual, and her individual's role is substantial.

- Delete WP:BLP1E with all this tabloid media coverage, some of the keep rationales are flawed, stating that she doesn't meet WP:BLP1E because she did movies and so forth, the news coverage borderlines on tabloid junk, and she's been accepting of that personality. But per our guidelines, the policy is clear. Secret account 19:23, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sure Secret, the policy is clear, and you are spectacularly failing to explain how this one meets the three conditions of BLP1E. And referring to CNN and Time as tabloid junk is just laughable. I assume your comment is a book case of a POV, non-policy based vote that the closer will easily discard in his close. Cavarrone 20:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- No this isn't a POV non-policy based vote. You are stating this because you want the article to be kept. This isn't Wikipedia material, it's a case of recenstism from slow news stories because she is a brave young woman who reacted to a serious circumstance in her personal life with dignity and strength. If she becomes a more vocal activist, she might become notable for an article in the future but right now it's too soon to tell, and I'm standing by my rationale. Secret account 20:47, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- I respect your "standing by your rationale" Secret, but laughable assumptions such as yours about CNN and Time being tabloid junk are, with respect, a bookcase of POV. Also, relying on BLP1E but failing to explain how this one meets the three criteria of BLP1E carries no weight to your argument. So, do you want to make a strong policy-based argument for deleting the article under BLP1E? Please explain us how this subject meets each of three required conditions to be a BLP1E. Cavarrone 21:21, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

- DELETE or ADD REAL NAME. She is not notable except for the fact she was "outed". Without her real name, this article has no reason to exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.230.182.230 (talk) 20:33, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
Consensus has gone against using her real name, and that it is needed for the article at this time. Also it seems consensus is forming here that she is notable without the name being used. Sportfan5000 (talk) 21:58, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[WP:Ban 18:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)]
- Keep: This topic became a national story that was followed on CNN, Huffington Post and other major news outlets. It was a story because of the high cost of a college education would cause a student to consider choosing to perform in adult films, which is not really viewed in a positive manner by a majority of people. It then got further notice when the actress defended it as her choice which is an issue because many people see adult film as exploitative for the people in the films. Therefore I think this article should be kept as a reference, even though it is an awkward topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GustavM (talk • contribs)
- Delete. WP:GNG is exactly what it says it is: a general guideline. It's supplemented by policies like WP:BLP, other guidelines like WP:PORNBIO, and good judgment. Knox fails PORNBIO by a mile like thousands of other college students who do sex work, so we're in the slightly fuzzier area of whether her response to her otherwise routine outing makes her notable. I think it's fairly clear from WP:1E that it doesn't, and honestly I don't see how you can read that guideline and think otherwise. Some of the policy-based keep !votes seem to really be arguing that her outing is notable as an event, which per Jinkinson would necessitate moving the article to Belle Knox controversy or Belle Knox outing. But as several editors point out above, pornstar outings are routine and hence out by WP:DOGBITESMAN. There's been more coverage than usual, but the dog bite does not become notable when Piers Morgan interviews the man about it; see WP:SENSATION. This is a textbook example of the sort of routine event that WP:EVENTCRIT rules out explicitly. Last, but certainly not least, WP:BLP is a non-negotiable policy, of which WP:BLP1E is just one piece. It exists to prevent Wikipedia from joining this sort of frenzy around a living person, for reasons of ethics and liability. We have a responsibility to avoid participating in her outing. Lagrange613 23:14, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
WP:EVENTCRIT itself supports keeping, Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline. I also suggest this is no routine outing and that @GustavM: has this caged correctly, a national story because of the circumstances, followed by her unrepentant confronting of the circumstances.

Sources have already made that connection, they have made it a chapter in history, on a national level, and are still doing so. Obviously any lasting effects should be documented as well, but i think we are well past GNG, and BLP1E no longer applies.

- Well, one prediction I'm fairly comfortable in making is that in several years, assuming Knox stays at Duke and graduates, there will be press again about this talking about how a "porn star just graduated from Duke". For all we know, she could become the next Gloria Steinem (or Gloria Leonard for that matter), but that's pure speculation at this point. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy...

- Defer decision for a couple of months per WP:RAPID. As an individual who appears to have no issue "owning" her 15 minutes there is no reason to rush to deletion here, but if she falls out of the news cycle without any additional developments then I think her lack of notability will be apparent with some time for perspective. VQuakr (talk) 03:34, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
- Notability is not temporary, so any other AFD for her would come up with the same results. The fact that the news is still reporting on her over a week after this began is proof that she is not one event, contrary to what some of the above editors may think. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:04, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

- Delete AFAICT, this is a "single event story" which has been picked up by popular media -- but that does not change the "single event" nature of the entire story. She is not notable except for the "outing" and without the "outing" she would remain totally unknown. This is a policy based !vote -- and the !votes based on "it has a lot of coverage" do not negate BLP1E. Votes based on it being about tuition etc. are simply not relevant to this discussion IMHO, and should be discounted notably. Collect (talk) 00:58, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
That's not the essence of BLP1E in this case. Knox isn't being shamed by any one event that she regrets, she was outed because of her porn work, and then went on national television talking about the underlying issues that came out of those many incidents. You can't unring a bell here by declaring she is only notable for the outing, whether that's true or not, it has happened, and she did not run away or hid from the events. She stood up and faced the bullies and threats head on. The only issue is do we wait for her to reveal her own name, or do we decide what is the tipping point for including it.

- Um -- there is very little to be gained by you trying to respond to those who do not hold your opinion. In fact,I rarely see anyone change there !vote upon being accosted in that manner. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article and the bit you add about "shame" is not part of the policy, and the unproduced "threats" which you provided are milder than threats I have received personally. People who seek fame from a single event are fully as covered as anyone else on Wikipedia.

Have no concern, I have confidence that reasonable editors will see your comments as they are, and avoid judging my response, as "accosting." The harassment, threats of rape, physical attacks, on her campus, and death threats, were directed at Knox. Dismiss them if you choose, they sure do seem real to her, and the national media that have discussed them with her, and in relation to her being outed. If you think the article should be deleted because its promotional tone, I think you're reading a different article than the rest of us. And that would remain a clean up issue.

- Well, I know quite a few articles with vanishingly small readers (in fact, I wrote several hundred of them myself :-). The page is wikilinked from "intelligentsia" (and from some other pages), so readability is not an issue. The concepts are pretty much separate, and WP:NOTPAPER rule allows them to have their own life. The goal of wikipedia is to make information searchable and available, rather than to push it down readers' throats, so the number of readers is not an issue beyond various wiki pissing contests ("most visited page", editcountitis, etc.). - Altenmann >t 04:08, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Neither the Sarah Orne Jewett article nor the Brooklyn College article contain the word "Martin", reinforcing my impression that it's unlikely someone will write articles on the red-linked topics. —rybec 04:41, 7 March 2014 (UTC)A link to a non-existent article (a "red link") should only be included on a disambiguation page when an article (not just disambiguation pages) also includes that red link. Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics. To find out if any article uses the red link, click on it, and then click "What links here" on the toolbox on the left side of the page.

Does not seem to meet WP:NSONG, I'm seeing zero reliable sources covering this song, and the bulk of the content is clearly original research. It apparently peaked at #88 on Canadian Hot 100 (though the citation for this doesn't support it). That doesn't seem enough to establish notability. 0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 04:40, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

- Redirect to Billy Talent III, the song's parent album. At the least, the song title is a plausible search term. I'm not seeing much in terms of coverage, though (this is the most I could find), and the chart position alone is not enough to convince me that a standalone article is warranted.

Rejected PROD. PROD rationaile stands: "Non-notable gag award created by a non-notable blogger that has serious BLP issues. Fails WP:N." Just because the blog is run/hosted by SBNation (one of the reasons for the PROD rejection) doesn't make the blog notable or reliable; and there is no significant coverage outside of the blog itself to establish notability, and the WP:BLP issues here are massive.

- Comment: There seems to be some false positives for a band called Alice 'N Thunderland, which is completely unrelated. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:39, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. There's just enough of a claim on the article to where I think that this wouldn't be speedyable. However the problem is that while I did find an article by a college paper, it's somewhat of a primary source since one of the band members attended that college. Other than that, there just isn't really anything out there for this band and ultimately this pretty much falls solidly into the whole concept of someone coming on and writing about their WP:GARAGEBAND.
