Prodded as unreferenced and non-notable. Prod removed with one reference added which confirms the song has actually been played on the radio once. Still fails WP:NSONG Richhoncho (talk) 11:34, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two primary sources and one ad doesn't make for good references, please see WP:NSONG, I can't see one point at which this song passes anything under the guidelines. --Richhoncho (talk) 23:00, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, but none that establishes notability under WP:NSONG. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:29, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to For the Masses (Hadouken! album). References currently in article are not enough, the song may be mentioned in reviews of the album but not much has been written about the song (from what I could find via Google, which is probably the best place to look as it's a recent song). Peter E. James (talk) 20:21, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to For the Masses (Hadouken! album). Inadequate independent sourcing for subject to meet NSONG. Yahoo also fails to provide requisite sourcing. Better to redirect until GNG or NSONG is met. BusterD (talk) 19:36, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lokal estate without no other claim to notability than age (1940's) and high crime rate. Not enough, to my opinion Night of the Big Wind (talk) 16:36, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jolt gum

Barely meets WP:GNG, but the 15 minutes of fame from the school suspension does not create an encyclopedic need to have sales coatracking about this otherwise non-notable commercial product. causa sui (talk) 23:50, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Jolt Cola. It's on the fence as I can't find much in the way of sources, but there's no reason to deny it a mention on the Jolt Cola page since it's a derivative product.

Delete Should probably be named as Stefan Denković per UEFA profile which verifies he was U-19 Montenegran rep, but youth appearances do not confer notability per WP:NFOOTBALL. Appears to have played for Red Star Belgrade U-19 before transferring to FK Sopot Belgrad (or Beograd) (who don't yet have a Wikipedia page themselves) according to the not so very reliable TransferMarkt site and this site. this IMscouting page is the only reference I can find he moved to Haifa, but no evidence it is true or that he has actually played for them. has not played football at a notable level.--ClubOranje^T 10:50, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nyctohylophobia

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

Nothing more than a citation less dicdef. A dicdef of a word that I can find no MEDRS references to. AFD result in 09 was to keep, but no progress in 2 yr. Dbrodbeck (talk) 14:34, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Transwiki per below. This is nothing more than a dictionary entry and I haven't even found it in any dictionary yet (besides Urbandictionary, which really shouldn't be a reliable source for anything, much less WP.) Several Times (talk) 16:22, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, the sources provided by Cullen328 are helpful, but without content beyond a definition of the term (i.e., related phobias, known connections to specific medical conditions, or known mentions of the phobia in culture) it's still just a dictionary definition and I'd support a transwiki.

Transwiki To Wiktionary That's where this really belongs. I have no doubt that it's a real phobia, but it just does not belong on Wikipedia. The Undead Never Die (talk) 21:01, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am not sure how much coverage a phobia needs in order to be on Wikipedia as opposed to Wictionary, but I found this reference. There's more coverage here. I'm open to being convinced that this coverage is insufficient. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:25, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Your source by professor Vogt makes a good case for the fact that once again Wikipedia writers have concentrated more upon writing up every word ending in -phobia and less upon giving us an encyclopaedia article on the single encyclopaedia subject that both nyctohylophobia and hylophobia are parts of. That subject's ordinary English name is, of course, fear of forests, and of course it is a redlink. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 23:53, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MOZGALEVSKY Nikolai Osipovich

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

Cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources and unsuitable for an encyclopaedia. Put diplomatically, after reading this article I have literally no idea what/who/when it is about. I have tried nominating for CSD but was unable to find a criteria for an article of this type. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 22:09, 12 August 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Update It seems this article was a Google-translated copy of an article from the Russian Wikipedia which was deleted for being a copyright violation (see http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Мозгалевский_Николай_Осипович). The violating text has been removed entirely. The article is apparently about an individual involved with the Decembrist revolt.

Procedural Keep - there are obviously sources about him, clearly a officer in the Russian Imperial Army, so we can't delete on lack of sources. Question is, is he notable as a Decembrist ? Buckshot06 (talk) 01:57, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He seems to be notable as the ancestor of a lot of (upper class) people in the Yenisei area. The issue then boils down to the general notability of Decembrist. It is likely that Soviet historians considered all Decembrists as notable and wrote extensive biographies on them.

We had a similar discussion in the Finnish Wikipedia on the notability of individual members of the Jäger Movement. Finnish militarist had assembled multiple Matrikels on them. As reliable sources were available, we could not draw a line. By default every foot soldier became "notable". -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:53, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As nominator, I'm willing to accept Petri Krohn's judgement in this matter given his experience as an editor and contributor to similar historical articles. The article is now very different from the incomprehensible, Google-translated essay I felt should be deleted. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 13:21, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep./merge Looking at their site, "human services" means counseling. In fact, it's pretty clear it does from the history paragraph It will of course be necessary to check they are legitimate, and to rewrite the jargon, and to explain a little better the apparently overlapping relationships of all the organizations listed. Normally we have articles all genuine national certifying organizations, and most of the time, merge their certifications requirements into those articles. . And, almost all the time, the articles on them are indeed written by people with COI. Of course it needs a proper check for references, and a check for objectivity also. I declined an A7, saying something is a national organization that offers accreditation in its field is a claim to possible importance. In fact, I regard saying something is a national organization in something not completely trivial is a claim to importance in any case. Nor do I regard it as a G11, for it is factual, not promotional. DGG ( talk ) 20:25, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to 2011 England riots#Deaths and injuries. There is a (not overwhelming, but distinct) consensus that this incident does not merit coverage in a separate article. There is no clear consensus about whether we should merge all or part of the content to 2011 England riots or delete it outright, but that can be addressed at the editorial level through continued discussion. Consequently, I'm closing this as a redirect, and any relevant content can be merged from the history to the extent that there is editorial consensus for the retention of such material in the main article (or any eventual subarticle).

Delete - As a biography it fails WP:BLP1E and as an article on the murder itself it fails WP:NOT#NEWS. Merge anything useful into the main article on the riots. Further, WP:VICTIM states "A person who is notable only for being the victim of or committing a crime or crimes should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there are any existing articles that do or could incorporate the available encyclopaedic material relating to that person". かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 13:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E does not apply, as this is about an event, not a biography. Ng.j (talk) 14:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but currently the article is so small that it is half bio and half event; it could go either way and I was voicing my opinion for delete regardless. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 15:04, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E also does not apply because the subject is no longer a living person. Warden (talk) 20:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Basically the same thing is also said at WP:VICTIM.See WP:BIO1E; it says the same thing about ALL biographies. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 21:18, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:VICTIM states "... historic significance is indicated by persistent coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources that devote significant attention to the individual's role." We have that here as the subject not just one of many mundane victims but has received detailed and special attention. Moreover, it states that "Where there is such an existing article, it may be appropriate to create a sub-article, but only if this is necessitated by considerations of article size.". The relevant parent article here would be 2011 England riots which is now 150K in size. WP:SIZE therefore indicates that a sub-article is quite appropriate in this case. Warden (talk) 21:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While normally I would push for a deletion, there are multiple reasons for notability. The subject is being reported internationally, and Google News has over 1,000 articles on the subject already. I recommend we WP:Give an article a chance, and if it doesn't grow we can merge it into the already long 2011 England riots article. I would also like to point out that that WP:NOTNEWS#NEWS is to keep out routine news items that aren't covered in depth. The fact that the murder took place during a major event lends it notability, as does the reaction following it.

Some key points to consider:

An event must receive significant or in-depth coverage to be notable.
Notable events usually receive coverage beyond a relatively short news cycle.
An event that is a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance is likely to be notable.
Significant national or international coverage is usually expected for an event to be notable.

Ng.j (talk) 14:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to differ:

Notability is not inherited. An event that happens within a notable event is not automatically notable itself, at least not enough for an independent article. It is a feature of the event, as such, the information belongs in the 2011 England riots. Merge shouldn't be pursued, as per WP:UNDUE, the article would have a severe impact in unbalancing the proper coverage of the riots as a historic event.

There is no significant or in-depth coverage of this event. All the coverage is directly linked to the riots, or about all the deaths linked to the riots - not in-depth coverage in the sense the policy suggests. There is simply no notability here as generally understood in wikipedia.

This event will probably not have significant coverage independent of the riots. It currently doesn't have any significant coverage in RS that justify an independent notability. The current mentions in the media will probably not go beyond this news cycle. If it does in the future, maybe we can WP:SUMMARY from 2011 England riots - we can delete without prejudice to future establishment of notability.
International coverage - understood as independent coverage by international media (ie not British) is insignificant or negligible, in particular when compared with coverage of the riots.

Unlike the wider event of the 2011 England riots, none of the deaths within it, even those in heavy news rotation, are notable events in themselves. They might or might not become notable as time passes, but they all have the characteristics of common, non-notable murders, of which hundreds if not thousands happen world-wide on a daily basis. The fact that they happened during a notable event, does makes it sufficient to mention in that event's article, but doesn't establish enough notability for an independent article. No one says this content must be ignored or trivialized, we only argue to keep in mind the different goals that an encyclopedia and the news media have. That said, over at WikiNews they might want an article on this topic, rather than just the riots themselves.--Cerejota (talk) 22:09, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable sub-subject of a larger theme. Notable already by itself. An upmerge is pointless due to the size of the parent article and the narrow focus of this item. That narrow focus is important though - as the media similarly focuses on this event. It seems to me though that there is a general desire to delete anything that the public might be interested it - which will in the end leave us with pokemon-pedia.

- Can you explain notability as per WP:NEVENTS and WP:BIO1E? I see no reason for this warranting its own article unless evidence to the contrary is provided.--Cerejota (talk) 18:39, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is impossible to explain notability as per WP:NEVENTS and WP:BIO1E. Anybody who tries has never read those links. WP:BIO1E discusses if an article should be written about the person (aka bio) or about the event. It specifically discusses the event article to be named after the person if the person played a major role. It does not stipulate an active role. WP:NEVENTS on the other hand focuses on sources. Buzzwords are depth and diversity of sources. While foreign articles will not be used in the article when sufficiant English sources are available it is worth checking for those. This event has garnered international media attention. Also a subsection says: "it is recommended to delay the nomination for a few days to avoid the deletion debate dealing with a moving target and to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge, which may make a deletion nomination unnecessary".

Merge to 2011 England riots. If the riots article is considered to be too large (at the moment, I don't think it is), we should consider splitting off either the section on effects or the sub-section on deaths.

Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 18:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A fairly obvious merge to 2011 England riots. Richard Mannington Bowes was an entirely private person who got tragically caught up in the riots. His notability derives solely through that event.

  - WP:BIO1E with regards of WP:NEVENTS, the two support each other in terms of establishing notability. BIO1E is not only about articles, but also about the information articles contain to wit: When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both. In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and the degree of significance of the individual's role within it should be considered. (BIO1E). However, it is correct that the main criteria to be used is WP:NEVENTS, which it fail utterly. There is absolutely no coverage of this death that is independent of the riots or of the other deaths in the riots, and the subject is not notable previously, so his death has no presumption of being notable for that reason. --Cerejota (talk) 21:21, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – in case the article is kept, it should be noted that it has not been established that the death was murder. In the UK, to be considered murder, the killer must have had the intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm. At the moment there is only a suspect who may or may not be responsible for the death, and if he is responsible, may or may not have had the intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm. The article, and the article title, should not prejudge the issue. --Lambiam 18:46, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the 2011 England Riots article. (A. Carty (talk) 20:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC))[reply]
Keep and change title back to Murder of Richard Mannington Bowes. BIO1E only applies to biographies. This is an article about his killing. It is a high-profile case, covered by many national and international media sources. It is similar to the murder of Garry Newlove, except that RMB was killed during a riot. We don't need someone to have been convicted of murder to use the title Murder of x. No-one has been convicted of the murder of Joanna Yeates. The suspect in that case denies murder, admits manslaughter and is on remand awaiting trial. Jim Michael (talk) 20:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BIO1E doesn't just applies to biographical articles, it applies to biographical information in general (Such as circumstances of death), including that in an article about an event. This event, however, clearly fails WP:NEVENTS, being an unfortunate and tragic footnote in a larger event that is indeed notable. As to your WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS comparison (something you should avoid in a deletion discussion), what you describe as a trivial difference is in fact a core difference - the fact that this death happened in direct correlation as the riots robs it of independent notability as an event. Sounds unfair, but that is how notability works as per WP:NEVENTS, and how being known for a single event works under WP:BIO1E. This death is not independently notable from the riots, in which a significant number of deaths have happened, all tragic, none independently notable WP:NEVENTS or of people notable before the riot WP:BIO1E. There is nothing notable about this death except that it happened in the context of a notable event. Notability is not inherited. WP:UNDUE suggests that a mention of the death be done in the main article, with consideration in terms of weight be given, and not going into non-notable detail. We are not a police blotter in which every crime, no matter how atrocious, must have a separate article. From an encyclopedic - rather than news - stand point, all crimes commited under the riots are a single historical event, and hence not independently notable. This is in contrast to Death of Mark Duggan, which is independently notable as the direct cause of the Tottenham riot, which was the riot that set these events in motion, and hence his death is a key fact of understanding the riots as a historical and encyclopedic, instead of as an immediate and newsworthy, notable event. --Cerejota (talk) 20:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- That the Death of Mark Duggan "had nothing to do with orgy of looting and arson that followed" is exactly why it is a separate article, it is notable independently of the rioting/looting. The death of Mr Bowes is inextricably linked to the events - it was a direct result of them. The question is whether to include the information about him and his death as part of the main article about the riots or as a subarticle, either focused exclusively on him or combined with other deaths resulting from the riots. The status of the Mark Duggan article is therefore irrelevant. Thryduulf (talk) 09:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF please. The point is that although the story is clearly covered in sources at a national level, one of the other requirements of WP:EVENT is the duration of coverage. As the poor guy only died a couple of days ago, there simply isn't enough time to demonstrate longevity of coverage yet, so reading every single word of every single citation to prove that would be a waste of time. (Okay, there are some stories like Baby P which can be presumed notable immediately when there's little doubt the story will run and run, but this isn't one of them.) Don't assume everyone who !votes delete/merge is kneejerking - they have valid opinions too. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:17, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. the event is covered as an individual item in international news not just locally in tiny Britain. As far as the kneejerking is concerned Wikipedia:NEVENTS#Breaking_news asks editors to wait until the dust settles before nominating for deletion. Agathoclea (talk) 08:39, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the point. As I clearly stated, the issue isn't geographical scope of the coverage, it's duration. Yes, it makes sense to hold off a few days to nominate for deletion if there's a significant chance that the story will clearly meet WP:EVENT within a few days, but with the news about the riots now being dominated by other issues, it's a reasonable opinion that this isn't one of them. In any case, the guidelines also suggests considering alternatives such as merge, which is precisely what many people are doing. Don't confuse knee-jerk reactions with differing opinions; trying to force outcomes based of over-prescriptive interpretations of policy is not helpful. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 08:47, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The point of that guideline is to wait until it is clear whether there will be significant continuing coverage or not. Just as in some cases it's clear from the off that there will be extended coverage (e.g. Death of Mark Duggan) it is clear in others that there will not be (e.g. the death of Ben Woollacott, the 19-year old crew member who died after falling overboard from the Woolwich Ferry). However this case is neither of them - it is not clear at this point whether it will be like Mark Duggan or Ben Woollacott - so nominations for deletion should wait until it is clear. A discussion about merging would have been far more appropriate at this time. It might be that editors should have waited a few more days before starting the article, but once created you should leave it around 5-7 days at least before nominating for deletion (my personal standard) when coverage could go either way. WP:CRYSTAL applies equally to predictions of notability and predictions of non-notability. Thryduulf (talk) 11:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 15:46, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Textbook WP:ONEEVENT indeed: "However, as both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles become justified ... as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role." We have hundreds of mainstream sources for this and the murder trial moves to the Old Bailey tomorrow so coverage is still ramping up. Meanwhile, the 2011 England riots is still growing and spawning other sub-articles such as Timeline of 2011 England riots and Causes of the 2011 England riots. It's still up around 100K, which, per WP:SIZE, is too big to be merging more detail in. There's not the slightest case for deletion here and so only a usual suspect like yourself would suggest otherwise. Warden (talk) 16:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to discuss zealotry with me, Warden, you've almost certainly "participated" in more AfDs since the start of the calendar year than I've ever looked at. As for your selective quoting of ONEEVENT, I'll leave it to that part of the community whose "opinions" at AfD aren't skipped over as a matter of course to compare this subject with the examples given in that guideline (a clue: when you're looking at the LA riots, this subject is not the Rodney King of the story). Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 18:26, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your participation in AFDs does indeed seem to be quite selective and, in this case, seems to be a tit-for-tat against FeydHuxtable - tsk. The quoting of WP:ONEEVENT is very relevant. This guideline does not tell us to delete content indiscriminately but to have regard to attention given by reliable sources to the individual's role. The individual in this case has been given extensive and continuing coverage internationally and in all the quality press. The guidance is therefore that coverage is justified. Warden (talk) 18:51, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SIZE is of no issue if we realize this not a notable incident, not more notable that the other four deaths in this event, and hence requires no more than a mention of the death, and perhaps the media coverage. WP:SENSATION tells us to not confuse coverage with notability even is coverage is one of the factors of notability - but not the only one. There is not a single source that I have read that establishes encyclopedic as opposed to journalistic notability in this case.--Cerejota (talk) 05:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SENSATION is referring to "tabloid or yellow journalism". This topic has however been covered by the quality press - reputable media and journals such as the BBC, The Times and The Guardian which continue to report the matter today, over a week after the original incident. Your personal opinion of the topic is irrelevant - please see WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC which explains that "Unencyclopedic" is an empty argument.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonel Warden (talk • contribs)

Selective policy reading is selective: A little further down, WP:SENSATION says: "Even in respected media, a 24-hour news cycle and other pressures inherent in the journalism industry can lead to infotainment and churnalism without proper fact checking, and they may engage in frivolous "silly season" reporting." So, your point is not really supported by the text: otherwise reliable source can and will engage in sensationalism and yellow journalism, and this should weigh in our considerations, not be dismissed. No one in their right mind would question the newsworthy" nature of this topic, nor of the need to include information in 2011 England riots (as it already does). What we do question is that this coverage is an indicator of independent notability that leads to encyclopedic coverage, or if it is a result of WP:SENSATION. Notability is not the sole or even most important criteria for inclusion, it is also encyclopedic worthiness. This topic is not worthy of its own encyclopedia article, althought this topic should be covered in the main article on the riots, with WP:UNDUE considerations, and with consideration to the fact that we are not a memorial for those who die, get murdered, or etc.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerejota (talk • contribs)

This is a serious matter - a murder which will now be tried in the UK's highest criminal court - Sept. 9th is the next court date. To suggest that this is infotainment or a silly season story is both offensive and inaccurate. Your personal opinion of the topic is irrelevant - this is not a reality show either and you don't get a vote to decide who leaves the island. What matters is the independent verdict of professional editors and publishers - the ones who produce those reliable sources. Note that, besides covering this murder at length, that they have also been commenting on the death of the silly season - see Global anxiety kills the silly season or New York Times, for example. The verdict of such independent commentators is that we have an atypical August this year and that this is not a silly season story. Warden (talk) 16:26, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Suhodolskaya-Vostochnaya coal mine and Bazhanova Coal Mine, the two mines where the accidents occurred. The accidents are notable events, but the existing articles provide a good context for encyclopedic coverage of the accidents. The coincidental occurrence of two accidents in one day is something that definitely necessitated dual coverage by world news media, but that news judgment does not mean that the two accidents should be covered in the same encyclopedia article. I've started the merger process by adding information about the accident to the S-V article. Similar additions are needed in the Bazhanova mine article, and both articles should mention the other accident that occurred on the same day. --Orlady (talk) 18:13, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merging the two entries to the relevant mine descriptions is a good idea and solves the issue as described in the entry above. Reading about a mine accident would require first some general technical remarks on that particular mine to better understand the background of the accident which can only be given on the relevant mine page. In addition, the current page suggests already in the first line that "the 2011 mine accidents" in the Ukraine were the only two accidents that occured in 2011. However, one can be sure that there are more mines in the Ukraine in which accidents occured in that year. The fact that the two accidents incidently happened on the same day does not indicate that the two accidents were linked.

195.200.70.43 (talk) 06:06, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. My first reaction was to support merger. However, on 4 August a new deadly accident occured when methane leaked at the Krasnokutska coal mine. These accidents may be coincidents, but it seems that there are systematic problems with conditions and safety of Ukrainian mines. Therefore, keep it now and try to develop more broader article.

Comment. Yes, we can speculate about the possibility that the occurrence of several accidents in a short period of time might indicate systemic problems. I can also speculate that the occurrence of several incidents in a brief period might lead to regulatory changes, social protests, labor unrest, etc. However, until someone else (i.e., a reliable source) documents these relationships, that's just speculation (and original research), which cannot be the basis for creating or keeping a Wikipedia article. If and when someone else documents connections between the accidents, the article could be created again. --Orlady (talk) 16:54, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not my speculation. Conditions of the Ukrainian coal mines are widely and long time discussed issue. These three accident are seen as a possible result of underinvestments e.g. by this article. But yes, if the article stays in its current form and describes only two accidents without wider background, it would be better to merge it into coal mines articles'. Beagel (talk) 18:51, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's time to create Coal mining in Ukraine (currently a redirect to Coal mining), similar to articles like Coal mining in the United States, Coal mining in India, etc. Such an article would provide better context for discussing the larger and long-term issues than this article about two accidents on the same day. --Orlady (talk) 16:50, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Two unrelated incidents. Wikipedia is not the place to group arguably similar incidents together because it might show problems with the Ukrainian mining industry. Whether both incidents are actually worthy of an article or not is another matter, but they certainly should not be in the same one. wacky wace 16:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Some time ago I merged information about the two accidents into the articles about the mines where the accidents occurred. I just now updated that information (more deaths had been confirmed) and added information to both articles about the other accident that occurred on the same day. In updating the information about the accidents, I found that there was another fatal accident (one killed, 25 injured) in a Ukrainian coal mine just 6 days later (August 4)[5][6] and another fatal accident (two deaths reported) just yesterday (August 18).[7] --Orlady (talk) 15:17, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it seems that the president of the country joining the two together in an inquiry means that separate coverage is a disservice to readers and will lead to redundant information i both articles, with the difference in quality that entails.

The place is little more than what the Americans call a strip mall - a small regional mall with a handful of stores. It is even laid out like an American strip mall. There are shopping centres like this in every town in the UK - some towns have many of these. It's the large shopping centres like the Trafford Centre, Central Milton Keynes, Brent Cross, The Metro Centre, Meadowhall etc. that deserve articles.

Comment See below my quotes from WP:ORG, noting that lots of media coverage is of a type which fails to indicate notability. All the trivial, routine, local, passing-reference, directory listing, or press-release references in the world do not establish notability. Multiple instances of in-depth coverage at a national or regional level in reliable and independent sources certainly would establish notability, if it existed. There is a difference.

DeleteFails WP:ORG. Mr Stephen identified a newspaper or other news site, and just said "look for evidence of notability." That in itself does not support notability. Where are specific examples of independent and reliable sources with significant coverage of the mall as an entity? Press releases about a sale at Tesco, or routine and humdrum announcements of a fender-bender in the parking lot or a shoplifter arrested do not support notability.WP:ORG says "Trivial or incidental coverage is not sufficient to establish notability" and "...attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national or international source is necessary." Spare us accounts of how a hat factory at the same location blew up in 1901, since notability of a mall is not inherited from an ancient news event affecting an unrelated business. Nor is notability for a mall inherited from national companies having stores there. A number of editors spent some time working on a proposed guideline, WP:MALL, for notability of malls, which in the end was not adopted. One thing we did find was a classification system created by an international association of shopping center operators. A "regional mall" has at least 400,000 square feet of leasable space. A "super-regional" one has over 800,000. [8] says Crown Point has only 290,000 square feet of leasable space for 22 retail units. This makes it a mall of only local interest, and I expect there are thousands of this size nationally. Malls this small have typically been deleted in past AFDs. Edison (talk) 19:17, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Square footage is a very blunt measure of notability or encyclopedic-ness. As luck would have it, there are plans to open Crown Point East, another 165,000 sq ft of new retail and commercial space (MEN 16 June 2011). TBH, I'm not sure exactly where it is or if if it would count as part of the same development; it is apparently 'linked', which doesn't tell me much. The MEN is not exactly the Little Snoring Echo, but it is regional, and I guess the Estates Gazette, The Grocer, Retail Week, Property Week and the Dow Jones Newswire (all of which have mentioned, variously, the costs, size, architects, its presence as an an indicator of the local economy, evidence of various retailers' expansion plans, change of ownership, blah blah) are "media of limited interest". I can live with or without the article in its current state. Mr Stephen (talk) 21:51, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you identify some good refs from the sources you have noted? You just mentioned the one specific story. That would be helpful, to separate the wheat from the chaff. I would not discount trade press in some specialized area just because it is specialized. That is a puzzling aspect of WP:ORG. I would discount the local free shopper's guide,but a national publication about real estate or commerce might be relevant. Sq ft is an industry standard for "Region" and "Super regional" to screen out 30,000 articles about the neighborhood strip mall, sort of a quick screen such as keeping licensed radio stations which originate some of their own programming (and deleting repeater transmitters or hobby online radio stations), or keeping high schools (merging elementary schools), or keeping pro sports people who played a game, or someone who was on the Elbonian Olympic team, people who served in a national legislature, etc and screening out those whose stats or qualifications are lesser. I would not mind 100 articles on super-regional malls, which in fact are likely to have substantial coverage in regional publications, but don't see the point of articles on tens of thousands of little strip malls, since Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists or that existed which was only of local interest. Edison (talk) 22:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't want to spend long on this, but the sort of sources that someone (~~probably~~ not me) could mine to give a startup article include:

Playing it cool with non-food: 756 words: 8 October 2005: The Grocer: Among the first things you see as you enter Tesco’s first dedicated non-food Homeplus store in Denton, east Manchester, are crates and bottles of wine on special offer…

Greater Manchester review - EYECATCHERS: 405 words: 19 July 2004: North West Business Insider: … Crown Point North, Denton… This 212,000 sq ft retail development, built by Reeb Estates at junction 1 of the M67 just half a mile from junction 24 of the M60 in Denton, has proven to be an outstanding success.

Suburban transformation.: 725 words: 27 March 2004: Estates Gazette: Catchment focus. Three schemes, at Harpurhey, Cheetham Hill and Denton are strengthening Manchester's overall retail offer . Pillar Property has been busy with its two retail parks - Manchester Fort at Cheetham Hill and Crown Point North in Denton. Both are on the east side of Greater Manchester, but that is where the similarities end… [it's doing badly]

Property UK - Greater Manchester - Stores in their eyes.: 2553 words: 26 September 2003: Property Week: Manchester's retail sector is gearing up for a raft of new schemes and refurbs. Simon Creasey looks at developments at the Trafford Centre, and the city centre and out-of-town markets.

Retail Property - Pillar to purchase Manchester park.: 94 words: 1 November 2002: Retail Week: Pillar Property has agreed to buy the Crown Point North shopping park in East Manchester. The park is being developed by Reeb Estates and Mowlem subsidiary Maple Oak.

Carrite (talk) 02:08, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fathead was in the news when Lebron James took his talents to South Beach and the jilted Dan Gilbert put LBJ gear on sale in a huff.

In the same vein as the above, Kelly Dwyer of YAHOO SPORTS. This is a reliable "new media" source, in my view, although called a "blog" as part of its marketing schtick. Dwyer is a pro and Yahoo is a gargantuan media corporation. Carrite (talk) 02:14, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fathead is the named sponsor of a new outstanding Freshman player of the week in the BCS of college football this season, according to THIS REPORT BY THE SPORTS NETWORK.

Keep I agree with Carrite that Fathead is a significant presence in the world of sports merchandise (the 2007 MSNBC article leads off, "It hasn't taken long for Fathead to squeeze itself into the pop culture pantheon.") and Carrite has identified sources to back this up.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:22, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of male superheroes

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

This list would be virtually impossible to define or complete. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:38, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-Delete- I have tried for a couple months to sandbox this into something less unwieldy but there is just no dice. Most of the entries can be found under other lists such as marvel superheroes, nintendo characters, etc etc. Not to mention that there is no real reason for a modifier such as "male" with the exception of winnowing down, which can itself be alleviated by simply sticking with lists already in place. Basically for awhile now it has just become a useful article for vandals to insert things. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Yes, it has been vandalized (with only sporadic clean ups). That is not a reason to delete (visit Betsy Ross while U.S. schools are in session for vandalism...). Virtually impossible to define? Heck no. We simply need to establish criteria for the article. I've started by demanding a linkable article mentioning the character. While I'm only part way through, this has removed a number of supposed examples that I was unable to link. Any added since then will need a link. Next up, I'm going to insist on a reliable source using the term "superhero" and referring to the character as "he". Will it ever be "complete" under these criteria? No. Neither will we ever "finish" List of LGBT writers, List of University of Pennsylvania people, List of people from Florida, etc. However, the task is manageable. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:15, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- please don't distort my reasoning. I did not say vandalism is a reason to delete. Placing it at the opening of your statement makes it seem thus. I simply made the statement of what the list has actually provided (what it's worth is to an encyclopedia) because I tend to look further down the road than a day, week or month. I am saying basically because of redundancy that the article is not needed. Most of these can be found under already existing lists such as I mentioned. Whether they are from a comic universe or video games, etc etc, these entries simply are not needed. For the most part as far as I can find they are already listed. I am sure you yourself (per your recent work on the page finding blue links) have found most of these already listed. If they have not be added to the corresponding list i.e. Marvel superheroes, D.C., etc etc then it would simply be a matter of adding them to that existing list and not creating an overly large redundant list in which to find them all. "Just because we can does not mean we must". We are an encyclopedia not a redundant link site. And at no point was it mentioned by me that this would be a complete list. I agree with you on that. It would be like creating a so called complete census list of names in the state of bavaria- unless no one was ever born there again after a certain date it would be a complete waste of time. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 06:14, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SALAT - "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into sections." This list is mind-boggling, and could theoretically contain all male superheros from all fictional mediums from all over the world and from any time period. Yikes. There are existing lists which will contain these characters in a more presentable form, and many others which could be made to cross the gaps, this is just too broad. Someoneanother 17:17, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - "all male superheros from all fictional mediums from all over the world and from any time period." Sure, like the List of people from Florida is going to contain the names of the hundreds of millions of people from Florida? No, all notable male superheros. Nothing more. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Even when applied only to notable characters, or notable works with relevant characters, the list's scope is too broad by a mile. When a list's population can consist of everything from 60s American cartoons to 80s British computer games and 90s Indian TV series it needs to be something pretty specific to keep the population a reasonable size. That isn't the case here. The next thing to do is split the list. Since it's inclined towards comic books, a lot of the content is already listed on existing lists which perform the same job. Trying to hammer out more specific lists from this would take longer than starting afresh with more specific lists. That leaves deletion. Someone another 23:26, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    - Yeah, some List_of_Marvel_Universe_characters are male superheroes and some Lists of Nintendo characters are male superheroes. So what? All List of people from Miami (and List of people from Fort Lauderdale, Florida are people from Florida. Where is this "list for these characters" where the characters are male superheroes (and yes, we have the female equivalent)? Is it List of superheroes and villains without superpowers? Or List of superhero teams and groups? Maybe it's List of superhero debuts? Surely all of those (and dozens more) are somehow redundant as well? Honestly, I can't see how a list of female superheroes is somehow not notable ("Hey, look at that. There are a bunch of female superheroes."), but certainly that would have to be "redundant" as well, right? We certainly have a lot of lists of this type -- far more than one little AfD can handle. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:46, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - CommentOther stuff exists is not an argumentEven with only bluelink examples, the list is currently over 500 entries long. There is a point where there is so much data on a page, that it morphs from information to noise. This is noise.--Djohns21 (talk) 04:52, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment - It's long so delete it? The bluelinks are in response to the still unsupported claim that we don't make lists that include material from other lists. Obviously, we do. Where is the guideline that says we don't? Where are the lists that this list includes/is included in? Yes, it's long. Yes, it's been vandalized ("unmanageable" - but not really). Yes, there are other lists that include some of this list and this list includes some of other lists. That's common. This list, however, is not a mere compilation of data from other lists nor is it merely a subcategory of another list. It is unique. My argument is not "What about article X?" My argument is that your "We don't do that" is plainly wrong: we do do that and nothing says we shouldn't. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:22, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment Enough of the sarcasm please. It is unproductive to this discussion and only serves to possibly create a battleground atmosphere. Even though this comment you put under Djohns21 is actually responding to a post I made above that (I said we don't make un ending lists.) I will respond here to the earlier statement and to what is directly above this comment now. Perhaps I could have said "do not need such a list" as opposed to "do not make" such a list. Is that more clear then? Can you verify your claim that this is useful to Wikipedia? Does this list in anyway benefit the project and would the project be worse for losing it?. Also refer to my statement that just because we can does not mean we must. Take it as must/need/should however you will. It would be far more productive to merge entries from this list into the already existing lists that I mention before. If you need a complete listing of all those available lists you can do the work yourself. All I had to do was provide examples which I did.
      - -No one said there was not a female equivalent or that it would not be possible that someone created one. At no time was it mentioned that female superheroes was not notable. I would venture that it is possible that such a list would be redundant also as it still pertains to Djohns21's and Someone's earlier statements about the useless size. Between comic books, graphic novels, cartoons, anime, video games, etc etc... a list of this type as well as the male equivalent we are discussing here is simply too broad. That however would be for an AFD on the superheroines list. I find it hard to believe that those entries in others lists, including the articles I presume they link to, do not mention the character as male or female or entity, etc etc... Breaking it down into only comic book or cartoon, etc etc would be pointless as this can be much more easily accomplished by adding to the existing lists of comic characters, cartoons and what have you. If there is indeed a list missing (i.e. darkhorse characters or what have you) then we can create that article.
      - -The lists you posted have little to no relevance to this AFD. They are dealing with different issues. We are not specifying here about superheroes or villians without superpowers, nor teams and groups, nor debuts. That last in particular has no bearing and is not dealing with same type of issue. This AFD is about an article with the extremely large umbrella specifier of "male". Perhaps someone will bring up AFDs on those articles at some point. I am not a crystal ball and can't say.
      - -As far as your repeated mentions of FL it has no bearing. We aren't talking about notable living/deceased people which lists of that type would entail. Most people from or living in FL do not have mentions in published written work or television or etc etc. No one has mentioned that a list of people from FL would included "everyone" ever born as you keep trying to infer would pertain to this AFD. Look at WP:ENN if better clarification of what I am saying is needed. Pretty much by default any characters on this list we are currently discussing would have been written about, animated etc etc and published in one medium or another. That is a very large and nearly impossible number. And i am not saying any character anyone ever doodled in their notebook during biology would be included in this list. Again see WP:ENN
      - -"where are these lists?" Well if you missed my very first post might I suggest you go back and please read it. I said the entries in this list exist in those articles. Perhaps not all but just from quick browsing many and perhaps over half.
      - -Again please stop with the straw and ignore arguments. No one said anything about notability other than you. No one said anything about female superheroes not be needed or notable. Again my off hand comment about vandalism was used as if it was a debate point when I already pointed out it was not used as such. No one said every character any human being has ever drawn or created would be on this list as the FL comments suggests. And yes we do have guidelines and policies and helpful essays regarding what we, if not strictly shouldn't do, at the least should try to avoid doing. Look up the policies regarding redundancy, lists, (the SALAT Someone pointed out earlier is quite nice), what Wikipedia is not and what constitutes being a positive contribution to this project as opposed as what doesn't add value to the project. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 07:32, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment and welcome Hi Paulewagner and welcome to the AFD and wiki in general. While I cannot speak for another editor, I believe that Koavf was simply referring to a long standing practice on Wikipedia involving AFD debates. In this case the WP:MEAT rule would be the one to look at. In particular the sections which says "In votes or vote-like discussions, new users may be disregarded or given significantly less weight, especially if there are many of them expressing the same opinion. Their comments may be tagged with a note pointing out that they have made few or no other edits outside of the discussion.".

Keep There are multiple encyclopedias covering this topic including The encyclopedia of superheroes, The encyclopedia of superheroes on film and television, The superhero book: the ultimate encyclopedia of comic-book icons and Hollywood heroes. With sources like this, it will be easy to produce and maintain a list. Merging with the superheroine list would be sensible as some superheroes are sexless or change their sex (e.g. Robin and Vision) but that's a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Warden (talk) 18:41, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was never in question whether or not there would be sources. And merging the female list would take away the one thing making this list in any way possible- the male modifier that gives it some semblance of specialization. However the problem with size would only be increased. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 10:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Size is not a problem. Do you realise that we have lists on Wikipedia with hundreds of thousands of entries, e.g. List of minor planets? Superheroes are comparatively few in number when considered as a specific genre per this definition. Warden (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

comment First- yes "size" in the terms of actual bytes and such is not a problem. However in terms of usefulness it counts and again see earlier statements that just because we can do something is not an argument that we should. Second- that is one definition and as earlier brought up the definition in itself can be grounds for debate. Third using a specific genre for the list then enters into what I have already mentioned on multiple posts that we already have lists for specific genres (nintendo, games, comics, etc etc). To pick any particular genre for this article would be to basically re create an already existing list with the small (sub)modifier of including only male characters. tymv Pudge MclameO (talk) 03:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The not useful argument is weak one and has been rebutted by the excellent example of Paulewagner. The usage statistics for this article are quite high and this further demonstrates its value to our readership. The list has already been given good structure by division into sections and so is compliant with WP:SALAT. If it grew to the point that it was too large to load easily then we would just split it into a list of lists using ordinary editing. These issues do not constitute a case for deletion. Warden (talk) 08:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

re Actually I'm sorry to say but PW's "rebuttal" as you call it does nothing. "I use it therefore in my own personality I rebut argument involving policy and consensus". ?? really? Nor does the usage statistic that you brought up. How many of those hits were from the same 6-10 users that have gone to the page just to try and touch it up? How many came to it by way of this AFD? Also, and I believe this is most telling for someone like me who "watches" this page, how many of those hits are simply from the plethora of vandals that come here to put their friends name on the list or otherwise be disruptive this particular project? Just by what I myself have seen through the watchlist and the edit history I would say the vandals are the most widely represented on the usage list, but then again that's just MHO from what I have seen. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 19:57, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Easily possible to define: it contains those for which there are Wikipedia articles. That's the very opposite of indiscriminate. A list containing all superheroes in all fiction regardless of notability would be indiscriminate . This is indeed no more infinite than the number of notable superheroes, and if we can make articles on them individually, we can certainly find room for them on a list, to bring them together in context--context which is impossible in a category. It's time we established a clarification of the guidelines on lists, that a list limited to those examples of the type that are notable enough for Wikipedia articles, is always appropriate, if the type is definable. Always. DGG ( talk ) 03:44, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Um please see comment about straw argument earlier- notability was never an issue brought up by those voting for delete. Again read earlier statements about the existing lists. If we weed this down into comics, or cartoon or graphic novels, etc etc then we might as well simply add the entries on this page to those lists. Why make another list? tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 10:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually when the argument to keep being used is that size doesn't matter because we can, then indeed that can be given a counter argument from the delete side. That's just how it works. The arguments brought up by myself and others is that "male" is too broad. Indiscriminate certainly- we aren't saying male comic book superheroes, male video game superheroes, or etc etc. This list is saying male superheroes in its entirety. Far too many mediums and possibilities to be considered "discriminate". tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 19:57, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Too broad in scope for an encyclopedic article to emerge, per WP:SALAT and WP:NOTDIR. A more notable qualifier to superhero may make for an interesting list (such as List of Marvel Comics Superheros), but there really isn't anything special about being a male superhero and we surely don't need to group these people together just on account of being male superheros (I could see the case for female superheros, as this is primarily a male "profession"). As such, this is an nonencyclopedic cross-categorization, and our NOTDIR policy states that just having a cross category isn't considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon. Overly-broad lists such as this need to be deleted, not encouraged. DGG's suggestion about the criteria for lists above is not supported by policy or consensus. Them From Space 03:27, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete too broad in scope to be considered discriminate. WP:SALAT states that "lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into sections". Not the same as a list of female superheroes, which is more specific and exceptional. This list has piled on all kinds of male characters indiscriminately. What does Seraph from the Matrix have in common with Zorro, Luigi, and a Hindu god? Barely anything.

Causes of the 2011 England riots

While eventually a WP:SUMMARY article on the causes of the riots might be needed, at this moment this article represents a WP:POVFORK to eliminate material concerning causes from the main article 2011 England riots. There is not enough material to justify this as a stand-alone article, nor is there a consensus in the main article to create a WP:SUMMARY fork. As it stands, it is also a WP:COATRACK magnet in which to hang WP:OR/WP:SYNTH. This article should be deleted, and the RS on the causes remain on the article on the riots themselves.

Weak keep. I agree with most of the criticism made of this article.

If not, I would delete it then (after copying the valuable stuff to the main article). Yaris678 (talk) 06:46, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I get your point and agree to an extent, the problem is that until months or even years from now, all the sources for the causes will be highly partisan or news - making quality an issue. Essentially this article is a big red target poster saying "EDIT WAR HERE PLEASE" :). While so does the riot article itself, one article focuses the discussion, two articles on the same topic forks the discussion, hence the appellation POV fork.

Comment This article does not seem to be about causes of the riots but about what some people want to blame for them. Various authors have their pet hates whether it be fragmented families, racist police, the education system, government cuts etc. and they have duly produced articles saying it is their own particular pet hate that is to blame. The title of the article is therefore misleading as it provides no analysis of the causes just of what people want to blame. Sometime around the end of the year there will be some articles appearing in sociological journals, but for now we might as well say it's all Jimbo's fault.--Peter cohen (talk) 11:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. So that it can become a real, quality article, as it should some day. Right now it's just a bunch of OR, each POV constructed from, or of primary sources and statements by political operatives. When it comes time to create a real article from quality sources, the editors will never be able to get all of the initial junk out of there. I've seen this happen elsewhere. So delete it so that they can build a real article when suitable quality secondary sources become available. North8000 (talk) 11:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is not an article on the causes of the riots, this is a collection of cherry-picked quotes from news articles about what various individuals said the causes of the riots were, often in the service of their own political gain.

Keep Don't really get the POV argument. Present all the opinions and allow the reader to make up their own mind. Maybe rename to something like Debates on the causes of the 2011 England riots as some are a little fringe. Francium12 20:59, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because part of NPOV is WP:UNDUE - the bar for inclusion in a "debate" or "criticism" article not coming from a WP:SUMMARY, but rather created on an apparent whim of an editor, is basically a WP:POVFORK that forks the debate into separate article. So neutral presentation on a non-neutral article premise is to be deleted. This "debate" or "causes" should be in the main article, and discussed there, until real books and real research, rather than comentariat quotes or proxies for an editor's pov, are the available sources. As a news article, this would be timely, and would make a great WikiNews article with a little reworking, but this is not WikiNews, and we write encyclopedia articles, not news articles. --Cerejota (talk) 20:20, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- While it is too early to know the causes of the event, this article is about documenting the encyclopaedically notable speculation about the causes that is already happening. It will document research into the causes - academic studies, journalistic investigation, etc, when it happens (and that it will happen is more certain than the 2012 Olympics happening in London). Thryduulf (talk) 19:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree, and WP:SUMMARY allows that, but when that happens, we create the article organically. As it stands, this article is a coatrack and povfork, and its creating was not the result of an organic need in the main article, but the boldness of an editor who barely discussed this - a boldness that while welcomed in the abstract we should revert via deletion. Forking this actually decreased the quality of the main article, so we ended up with two less-than-stellar articles, rather than one passable one. --Cerejota (talk) 22:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete everyone has a theory of why it happened, and this does not make it encyclopaedic. seems to be a motley collection of ideologues, interest groups seeking to raise their profile and politicians trying to score points Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 02:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep This article is about the causes of a highly relevant event. Ohconfucius above is right when he says there are many conflicting opinions and statements on this event but that's only to be expected with something of this type. We can document the public statements like an encyclopaedia should and avoid giving a biased viewpoint. Unixtastic (talk) 07:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Question How is this a "highly relevant event"?! It's just a bunch of teenagers causing damage and stealing stuff. It has no deep social or political meaning whatsoever. What makes it even less significant is that the whole thing immediately died down once it started to rain, proving that nobody was trying to make any point at all. That kind of negates it all. They were just sheep-like copycats doing what they saw on TV/Youtube, without knowing why. Give it a year or so and people won't even remember what this event was or why it happened.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.28 (talk) 23:32, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would be willing to contribute to building this article if is kept. I believe there is sufficient information as to the causes of the riots. These riots are quite clearly a multitude of factors and I feel its own page is warranted. Topics such as economy factors, 'moral decay', organised crime, greed culture and youth disenfranchisement are just some causes mentioned which can be expanded on.

As to footballing notability, WP:NFOOTBALL states explicitly that being registered to a notable team isn't enough: "A player who signs for a domestic team but has not played in any games is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable." The player has to play, and Mr Ceccarelli hasn't, yet. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:35, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - in addition to being an unreferenced BLP, the player in question has not played in a fully pro league, nor has he received significant coverage, meaning he fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:31, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete While some other users have claimed above that she is notable in her own right, they fail to define how. Apart from being a politican's wife, there is nothing notable about her, at least not in the article. She has a master of science degree in nursing, that is hardly notable. She is a member of the methodist church. Not notable either. Apart from being married to Rick Perry, there is nothing notable at all about this lady.

reply to gratuitous ad hominem attack - Veriss, I'm proud to say that I've nominated for deletion, or argued for the deletion of, dozens of articles about non-notable persons whose politics I find more sympatico than Rick Perry. In fact, I've been assailed for it. Your attack on me for being honest and upfront about my own politics subverts the very concept of full disclosure, and is counter-productive in the extreme, bringing utter irrelevancies into this discussion and violating our expectation of civility in discourse. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:42, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May I remind you of Wikipedia's policies about comments on others. By bringing up to discussion the political opinions of the user who nominated the article for deletion, you violate the rules of Wikipedia. What we are interested in here is arguments for or against the notability of the subject, not your personal thoughts about the political views of others. Comment on the subject, not on other users! Jeppiz (talk) 12:46, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Subject more than meets WP:GNG. And yes, the sources cover her because she's married to the governor. But they do cover her and they cover her extensively, which meets Wikipedia's requirements of WP:NOTABILITY, WP:V & WP:RS. —Yk Yk Yk talk ~ contrib 07:22, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. She has done nothing notable on her own. OrangeMike is correct that WP:NOT#INHERITED is the applicable guideline here. The third-party coverage is directly related to her husband, and perhaps that's what's causing the confusion. The wife of a U.S. President rates an article. The wife of a major party nominee, quite likely. She is neither. She is the wife of a declared candidate. At this point, the information belongs in the Rick Perry article, and only there. It's there, but oddly it's hidden in the Early life section. The article is missing the usual Personal life section at the end, which is used to include spouse, children, personal interests, activities and awards. 99.50.188.77 (talk) 23:22, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. To me this is baffling deletionism. As the 2012 campaign heats up, the interest in the candidates' spouses and families will increase astronomically. Why delete an article that is likely to be re-created later? Moreover, she has been the first lady of the nation's second-most populous state for a decade. How is she not notable enough for a Wikipedia article? Please note the two AfD votes already taken in 2010; the result both times was Keep. Has something changed since then to make Thigpen Perry less notable? Moncrief (talk) 16:12, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If anything, she became more notable after Perry's announcement of his candidacy, which occurred around the same time of this nomination. —Yk Yk Yk talk ~ contrib 16:38, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She has a nursing school named after her, which was covered by an independent source. She has had other coverage of her own activities, independent of the Perry administration. I think she's notable enough to have her own article. Loves Macs (talk) 16:24, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Is there any way to salt a Keep so it doesn't keep getting nominated for deletion? As I pointed out at AFD #2, she's got a major school of nursing named after her, how much more notability do you want? --MelanieN (talk) 02:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most weeks on UK Singles Chart

Merge into UK Singles Chart records and statistics. From what I can see, that article has a spot for artists whose combined works have achieved a record number of weeks on the charts, but nothing yet for individual singles that have achieved a record number of weeks on the charts. This seems like a worthy branch of statistics to me; Elvis has had the most weeks on the chart as an artist, but Sinatra's "My Way" according to the info from this article, has the record for most time on the chart, even though it never reached number one. I think that's interesting, and not already covered in the UK Singles Chart records and statistics. If there is concern about the arbitrary number of 40 weeks on the charts (I personally don't see a problem with it) than the list could be reduced to those singles that achieved 52 weeks on the charts, which would both give a rational for the number - one full year - and which would make the list shorter and more suitable to be merged into UK Singles Chart records and statistics. The article's creator seems pretty upset about the article's listing here on AfD and has moved the page to Wikipedia is a waste of time submitting anything and blanked the page. I am going to endeavor to move the page back and unblank it so that this discussion will be less confusing to those just joining.

Seems be very borderline on WP:Notability so I will at least take this to AfD and see what happens. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of guidance on Wikipedia as to the particular subject of music festivals in general. Looking at both the articles in existence and also at the AfD's for articles that have previously been deleted, I don't see any reasonable guide. My personal view is that notability is local only and this is also a recently established festival, so I will go with Delete. Safiel (talk) 19:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree that this is a bit of a grey area.

I'm inclining to a Keep on the grounds that St Louis newspapers are rather wider in coverage than (for example) The Downby-in-the-Swamp Wringer, local being a relative term in newspapers, and also because of the number of blue links in the list. Notability doesn't cascade, but this many bands wouldn't play at a village fete. Peridon (talk) 19:38, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Peridon and my comment above. Quasi human | Talk 08:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary keep Question mark on wp:notabiliity. Lack of attendance figures in the article or even on the event's web site raises questions. Also the fact that so much much of the article talks about tangents rather than directly about the topic also raises questions. But the article is only a week old and so shortages in the article do not mean shortages in the subject. Putting more encyclopedic content about the subject in the article would make notability less mysterious/questioned. Give the editors a few months to flesh it out.

Can I add to that that the 2011 festival will apparently be happening in a couple of weeks, it is possible that more coverage will arise in its aftermath (admittedly a WP:CRYSTAL argument). I will try to improve the article to address those concerns. I have had a look at the references in the article, and can find no mention of attendance figures, except for a vague mention in the St. Louis Jewish Light ref, which says that attendance was "solid, but maybe not quite what [the organisers] hoped for".[10] Attendance numbers would be nice, but seem to be unavailable at the moment.

Changing to provisional keep and withdrawing current nomination Clearly is not going to be a consensus to delete here. Will wait for the 2011 LouFest to occur and may renominate if a serious question of notability still exists. Safiel (talk) 01:08, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E.--Pontificalibus (talk) 11:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note There were no sources referring to the name "Independent Alphanes" which appeared to be an assumption by the article creator from the data given in the source. I have added another sourced and moved the article to it's correct name.--Pontificalibus (talk) 11:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and make it one sentence in the South Sudan article. No indication or wp:notability. Basically there is one RW notable factoid (first person born in the newly-created country). So make it one sentence in that country's article. North8000 (talk) 14:17, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject of this unsourced BLP. There are a few trivial mentions here but nothing to meet MUSICBIO or GNG. J04n(talk page) 23:19, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Zero references. No indication of wp:notability. My guess is that borderline WP:Notabilitiy is a possibility, but the editors have done zero to establish it during the 4 years of the article's existence. North8000 (talk) 14:22, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
