Contested PROD : This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT, WP:SPORTSEVENT, there is no attempt in the actual article to demonstrate that there will be any lasting significance, sourced only to a press release and promoters website, it is unlikely that the event will gain anything other than routine coverage that any sports event gets.

Arguing that the event does not meet notability guidelines is exactly relevant, K-1 events in the past have been deleted as not notable, and there is zero indication that this will be one of the ones that is. Mtking (edits) 22:22, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Final 16 of the heavyweights is considered notable. The 70KG Final 16 has not been considered notable because had two parts in the past not one like in present. I propose to be considered notable considering we will not have anymore the Dynamite!! events. And Badr Hari vs. Cro Cop is on card. Ozumi-k1fan (talk) 13:14, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the notability of the heavyweight "final 16" events has never been tested at an AfD. I just looked at 3 of them and they consist of nothing but the results. In addition, the only sources given at any of them was the K-1 website. I suspect they might get deleted if anyone actually did an AfD on them. Papaursa (talk) 00:08, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The only problem with the articles currently in the article is that they don't really show notability. The first link ([3]) isn't really about Farrugia himself, but about his book. It would help show notability for the book, but not so much for the author. The second link does talk about Farrugia, but I think it might be a press release and those can not show notability, as they're considered primary sources. ([4]) The third link was just to a page on the Apple website. That's actually not even usable as a link, so I've removed it. You can't link to merchant sites. To prove the claim, you should have a news article or something to that extent. The final link to Coeur de Lion is so insanely brief of an article with an even shorter mention of Farrugia that it can't show notability at all. It merely states that Farrugia has a book and isn't even really much of a comment. None of these links show notability for Farrugia. It would probably be best if you were to userfy the author's article as well. I remember trying to find sources for Farrugia's book and they were pretty scant to begin with- there weren't many for the author at all that weren't the briefest of mentions. The thing to remember is that 99.9% of authors are not notable outside of their works, which is what you need to show in order to justify an article for the author. This means that you need to have articles that are about the author that focus predominantly on them. Of course they'll mention the books, but the books shouldn't be the main focus of the article- the author should be discussed as well.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 19:36, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for sure. They publish the Linacre Quarterly one of the top journals on medical ethics. And Google scholar gets enough hits anyway. And they have branches across the US. They are not a "nobody organization". There are lots of pages in Wikipedia with 20 times less notability. I do not see the point in this Afd.

  • I added a few more refs. This is an organization with many physicians and many student chapters in medical schools across the US. It is much more notable than all the high schools which have Wikipages... History2007 (talk) 04:24, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm sorry, but I just don't see evidence that this 900-member association meets the standards of WP:ORG, specifically the requirement for independent reliable sources. I could not find any coverage at all in sources other than specifically Catholic sources, such as the Catholic News Service. To me that means that no Independent Reliable Sources have taken note of this organization. (Would you consider a Mormon organization to meet the criteria if the only coverage it got was in Ensign, the official magazine of the LDS church? Would you regard a Baptist group as having Independent Reliable Sources if they all came from the Baptist Press?) --MelanieN (talk) 17:22, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As you wish. But your search was for pop-media, no scholarly journals. There are sources now with Pediatrics (journal), BMJ and Bioethics (journal). Are those independent? They are. Are they reliable? Absolutely. And there are more, but I was just getting tired of doing all the searching... It is a scholarly type search that shows those, it is not one for CNN, etc. This is an organization organized by MDs, not celebrities. History2007 (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your hard work on this. However, it is still unconvincing. The fact that an individual gets things published in a peer-reviewed journal does not make that person notable; the same is true for an organization. I note, for instance, that the Pediatrics piece (a commentary, not a peer reviewed article) has been cited by others only 24 times,[5] way below the standard for WP:ACADEMIC notability. The vast majority of listings found at Google Scholar are from the organization's own journal, Linacre, and receive almost no citations.[6] However it occurs to me that, as an alternative to deletion, this page could be redirected to Linacre Quarterly. --MelanieN (talk) 17:54, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I do not agree, given that the studies were funded by the organization, the lawsuits were launched by it, etc. Once you have big time lawyers that sue governments, you are notable. Is this notable? Is this? Is this? This organization is more notable and encyclopedic than many, many Wikipedia entries. But we can leave it there. History2007 (talk) 17:57, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear: my objection was not to the RELIABILITY of the sources, it was to the INDEPENDENCE of the sources. --MelanieN (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen no evidence at all that the Catholic Medical Association has any type of ownership interest or control over sources such as EWTN, or The Tablet (published outside the US), etc. There is no evidence of "hidden coordination" among these news sources and the medical association which is the subject of his Afd. Have you seen any evidence to that effect? If so, please share it with us. Else there can be no assumption that these news organizations are part of a hidden grand scheme of some type. There can be no assumption of guilt by association on this issue. History2007 (talk) 16:28, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The President of Mali made a state visit to India earlier this year and got the full red carpet treatment, detailed discussions with the PM, &c. Sources such as The Economic Times say stuff like "India's relations with Mali have been steadily growing in the past decade." and so demonstrate that the nomination's claim that "Mali is a relatively small West African nation with very little to do with Asia" is quite false. And now that there has been a coup in Mali, India is concerned that those trade deals and its nationals are at risk, "India will monitor the developing sitation in Mali".

  • Comment Dear friend, I have to tell you some important things about this novel. First of all, leadstart is no self publishing agency. You can easily understand that by seeing www.leadstartcorp.com. Second, Quolowardia has no connection to hot-frogs (as it has been mentioned) as Peridon has mentioned. Also, the page at yahoo answers he had given has been deleted, making his links of no trust. All of you can go to the internet and type Quolowardia in a search engine. By looking at the book's cover, it could clearly be understood that it is published by Leadstart. And talking of notable sites, please check www.ebay.com. And by the way, Flipkart is not a mere sales outlet. Any more doubts about it?

I would think Leadstart would not have wanted to be put there if they weren't happy about it. I find it interesting that a question about being asked for money up front for publishing has suddenly been deleted. There is nothing defamatory about saying that a company may be involved in self-publishing or pay to publish cost sharing (which I consider near enough the same). The self-publishing 'industry' is providing a legitimate service in most cases. What it cannot supply is notability - and I find no notability for the book no matter which way it is published. I did look at the leadstart.com site, and found what I saw as confirmation of the self-publishing service, but since then, I have been unable to access the site. Can anyone else get into it? Yash, can you try, as you are based in India, I believe? Last time I was on there, I could find no trace of this book. It is very strange for a publisher not to list a book it is involved with - even self-publishing houses like Lulu provide webspace and listing. Peridon (talk) 09:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • BTW Flipkart is an online shopping store, and being listed on eBay means nothing. Almost anyone can sell almost anything on eBay. Being listed on Amazon is no claim to notability either. And this book doesn't appear to be - possibly Amazon don't have a distribution facility in India. I have just done a Google search for "Quolowardia" and apart from the authors' site, the only hits appear to be online sales outlets, Wikipedia, and places like Facebook. No hit at the publisher's site. Peridon (talk) 10:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm pretty much backing up what Peridon has said. First off, eBay is not a reliable site to show notability. Never has been, never will be. No merchant site will ever show notability. The site itself is notable, but that notability is not transferred to the items sold on it. (WP:NOTINHERITED) Secondly, nobody in the AfD ever said that HotFrog was connected to the publisher, just that it was pretty much one of the very, very few links that mention the book at all. In any case, regardless of whether the book is self-published or not, you need to have reliable sources per WP:RS to show that the book is notable. Please note that primary sources (anything released by the publisher, author, or anyone connected to either of them) do not count towards notability. The link to the author's personal blog and the link to the publisher's website do not show notability in any way, shape, or form. Existing is not notability. In the end there's just no reliable sources out there. The only links that talk about the book are by the publisher, the author, by a very few sites selling the book, or links to this deletion discussion. None of these links show notability.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:42, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Confusing situation here. Too many frogs. FrogBooks is an imprint of Leadstart, and the given publisher's name. HotFrog is a totally separate site which is a free directory, listing Leadstart in the 'self-publishers' section. With a quote from Leadstart. No mention of the book. FrogBooks didn't mention the book last time I could get in - as with leadstartcorp.com, frogbooks.net will not open for me. Being self-published is not of itself a bar to having an article - it's just that the coverage required (that does NOT mean places selling it) needs to be greater as the real publishing process (which takes linger than a few months in most cases) counts as a part of the note. Even if this were published by HarperCollins, as this stands there is no notability shown - or found. We do try to find reasons to keep. I've often added refs to articles that were up for deletion to save them. Peridon (talk) 15:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Won't affect the notability unless a heap of other stuff appears. The book may be notable some day - but we don't hold articles for future success - please see WP:CRYSTAL. Peridon (talk) 17:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry sir, I didn't notice that you seeked my help earlier as I was not watching this. Anyways, Yes, I live in India. And even I didn't got much about this book. No reliable source in short. This book isn't notable according to me. A book is available on flipkart, and that does not mean that it is notable. Yasht101 02:52, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The references I included in the article show that:

  • This writer has a dedicated page on one of the biggest literary Romanian websites, but also a few other blogs
  • This play writer wrote a play which was set and is played at puppet theaters from Romania and Moldova
  • This poet published a book with poems and coloring drawings for children.

You can also find plenty of articles about this writer on local newspapers, blogs, online magazines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SiliconValley (talk • contribs) 06:14, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1) povesti-pentru-copii.com is hardly a reliable source. It's a personal website where one individual reprints children's short stories.
2) Having a play performed, or having a book published, is not by itself evidence of notability. At least one criterion from WP:AUTHOR needs to be fulfilled.
If you'd like to demonstrate the subject's notability, please show that she has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. And please keep in mind that self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable as sources. - Biruitorul Talk 14:14, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you can say that about almost any person, that those sources don't prove notability.

This encyclopedia is based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. If such sources are presented, notability is established; if not, and they have yet to be, it isn't. That is the core issue here, not your perceptions about a non-existent agenda on my part. - Biruitorul Talk 17:25, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I've just been looking through the Povești pentru copii (Stories for children) site, and would express a concern about some of the illustrations there in the Emilia Plugaru works section - there are what would appear to be copyright violations there of Garfield (himself) and Shrek (Donkey), and I have grave suspicions about a rabbit (looks Disney) and a pinkish cat (also looks Disneyish) and possibly others. This is not directly relevant to Wikipedia (they are not posted here), but the subject being discussed here is supposed to be an illustrator of her works. (The stories associated to these pictures are not translations of the texts of stories involving the 'real' subjects of the pictures.) Are these official copies of the stories, or is this a pirate site, which should of course be removed from being a link on Wikipedia? If it is a site that uses official copies, why aren't illustrations by Plugaru used? (There are similar copyvios (some Disney) illustrating the works of other authors there.)

    • And a good day to you too. ☺ Me, I couldn't tell which were suitable primary sources, and which were just using the words "personal" and "wiki" together without establishing it as a genuine term of art. I bow to your superior discernment in matters of WP:SOURCES. -- Perey (talk) 12:17, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mea culpa for short-temper'dness, but in the last week I've seen multiple AFD noms which could have been resolved with readily-available cites if the nominator simply took the time to seek them out, instead, others did the work, which is most vexing. The article still needs many more cites, and better cites too, but it is worth saving — especially considering the number of views it gets. It seems to me that if there is a long-standing article on WP with many page-views, even if it lacks cites, the better approach would be to first try to improve the article rather than condemning it to oblivion without such an effort. Sctechlaw (talk) 20:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, for what it's worth, I thought an AfD would be a way to discuss the saving or deletion of this article, in contrast with the redirection that had already condemned it to oblivion. If the citations you've added do withstand scrutiny (personally I have doubts about the two LifeHacker "personal Wikipedia" ones, which neither establish "personal wiki" as a term of art nor describe anything but a locally-hosted MediaWiki) and the article is kept, I'll consider it a success (while crediting you for doing the legwork). -- Perey (talk) 16:40, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I personally found this article useful, yes it needs cleaning up but it has the potential to be a great resource on the subject (top google result, as always).

    • Comment: I agree, I really do; "personal wiki" seems like it should be a real category of software, and we should cover it. But the fact is that right now the article is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. No matter how useful it is, it's out of scope (WP:NOT, WP:OR), unless and until someone can prove (with citations) that "personal wiki" is a genuine term in the software industry or market. It's been de facto deleted once already, by being turned into a redirect.

  • Delete To me it reads as somewhat more of an advert than a CV. I wouldn't expect someone writing a CV to "share her passion and experience" - that's PR talk. Definitely not encyclopaedic as it stands, whatever the result of this discussion. She probably does a very good job in a very tricky area of investigation, and a fictionalised (for obvious reasons...) version of her exploits would probably sell well, but like police and private detectives, and the vast majority of real-life secret agents (the uncaught ones), this is not a profession where the unmasker gets the publicity and coverage. It's the perpetrators that are known widely. I'm not falling into the stereotype trap here - one accountant I knew was the life and soul of any party, and if there wasn't a party, she'd have a mini-party going in minutes. If better coverage appeared here, I'd be quite happy to advise over the de-PRing of the article to NPOV standards.

  • Comment WP:ENT is not set to limit notability considerations to only those who work in film or television, though they usually get more press than do stage actors. I'll take a look at the multiple sources that address her far greater body of work in theater,[19] with an understanding that theatrical notability is itself not limited to only those who headline in Broadway Theater... before returning to offer an !vote. If I discover that her work has been well-received or reviewed in reliable sources, we'd have a meeting of both ENT and GNG. Back in a while. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 10:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - A quick google search reveals she's a fairly well known stage actress, too - maybe just emphasize this in the article instead of wiping it? --flying idiot 02:41, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've delinked 26 Miles - there was no article for the play there. (It's an album by Sean Watkins.) None of the 'world premières' of the plays have articles. The first performance of ANY play is its world première. It's the subsequent performances that give a play notability. However, I feel that there is possibly room for expansion, as little of her filmography is mentioned, and the references look sound enough to me overall. Peridon (talk) 14:50, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with the emcouragement that the article be improved through regular editing to add more emphasis on her greater body of theater work. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 17:25, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is only one source with no quote, and no URL. I searched Google, Google News and Google Books and found only a personal blog found only a listing and a passing mention. It appears not to pass WP:NOTABLE. — Keithbob • Talk • 18:23, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Based on Kbobb's research and Wiki policy on Notability, the article can be deleted. --BwB (talk) 19:04, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this settlement exists, which is already enough to be notable, and it's especially notable for being a Transcendental Meditation settlement, of which there are very few in the world. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 06:45, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Populated, legally-recognized places are, by a very large consensus, considered notable, even if the population is very low. See Wikipedia:Notability (geography). Marokwitz (talk) 13:23, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- Thank you to all for your participation. I would just comment for consideration that a)WP:NOTABILITY is a guideline and takes precedence over the essay WP:Notability (geography). b) Even the essay WP:Notability (geography) states that "It is important though, when notability is challenged, to reliably document that a place is legally recognized in some way. Examples include government recognition of the place as a municipality or region, or recognition by a government agency" I don't see any indication that this place has any government sanction and it appears to just be a housing development with no significant notablility -- — Keithbob • Talk • 01:49, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note. Hararit is a legally recognized village in the Misgav Regional Council. The regional council comprises 35 small towns, all of which have their own Wikipedia article. Marokwitz (talk) 06:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The Misgav Regional Council (MRC) article has only 4 citations, mostly on the topic of controversy with the MRC. Large portions of the article are uncited, including its claimed list of townships/settlements within the MRC. So far, no reliable source has been presented by any editor here to verify that Hararit is recognized by any valid government agency or that it in any way meets the criteria of WP:Notability The Hararit article has one citation. If this town is notable, please provide further sources.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added some sources to the article. Hararit also appears on the site of the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, as all other settlements, but that website is in Hebrew and very hard to link to. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 18:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep It is established practice that we make an article for any village or other populated place that can be verified. There is no overall rule about which guideline applies when there are general and specific guidelines, but in thisparticular case we have uniformly applied them in this fashion. What we consistently do are the real guidelines. DGG ( talk ) 17:27, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Footballer who has not played at a professional level, fails WP:FOOTYN and WP:GNG. Tassedethe (talk) 00:05, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom really. Standard case of a young player article being created before the lad has done anything in the game. It will quite possibly be recreated when he makes his debut on loan somewhere like Accrington Stanley next season but for now no professional games means no article. Keresaspa (talk) 03:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep:Worldwide coverage is a furphy IMO, after all the Australian evening news bulletin I watched on TV last night carried a story about an armoured van that nearly went off the side of a freeway overpass in Los Angeles. I also think that a non professional football player should be a consideration, as this particular player has less than 100 games counting; and I feel that every time one of this guy's articles is kept it encourages him to persist. Aside from that, the player can be covered adequately elsewhere - in the article about the team to which the coach was assigned as well as in the list of AFDs.

    • "all the Australian evening news bulletin I watched on TV last night carried a story about an armoured van that nearly went off the side of a freeway overpass in Los Angeles" - am I missing something? What on earth has that got to do with this article....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:43, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The more I read it, the less I understand it - the whole post, that is. The news bulletin is, I think, showing that what used to be local news is now world news. I'm not sure. A furphy is a rumour, by the way. Peridon (talk) 16:35, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments Is an "all Ireland runner-up Feile medal in the same year that he won a Kennedy Cup medal" (?in Gaelic Football notable)? Secondly, We don't have articles to encourage people to persist - that's their job. We record them when they get there. Number three: The article says he's professional - does he still have to have played at first team level to pass WP:ATHLETE or is being pro count? (And is he?) Peridon (talk) 16:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
PS I'm not sure what Sonarclawz last sentence above is about. Probably be me missing something somewhere. Peridon (talk) 16:46, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can't claim to know much about the GAA but a bit of googling tells me that DDSL stands for Dublin District Schoolboys League and youth competitions, whilst they may be notable in and off themselves, do not confer notability on participants. WP:FOOTYN sets the bar for notability for football as at least one league game for a professional club, which O'Sullivan has yet to meet. He is a pro but without that game he fails the specific notability test in this case. And I'm afraid I can't understand that sentence either. Keresaspa (talk) 23:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
