  1. reasons mentioned in AFD 1.
  2. has an authorised biography Veṅṅānūr Bālakr̥ṣṇan (1997). Jayar̲āṃ Paṭikkalint̲e kr̲aiṃ ḍayari. Dhanuṣmān Grūp ōph Pabḷikkēṣans. which finds mention in the News article "From crime to spirituality". The Hindu. Feb 7, 2008.
  3. The subject has enough coverage in National newpapers[4] and books[5] to establish GNG
  4. I have cleaned the article, added references and removed the original research allegations, sources for which are highly unlikely and I have added few third party sources into the article-- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 07:03, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am in two minds on this one. The Google searches show some but not many reliable sources - probably borderline by themselves for notability but (since the subject's career was almost entirely pre-internet) there are probably more offline. However, the real problem with the page is shown by its history, alternating between being a stub and being a largely unreferenced attack page. And the stubbing has, probably unintentionally, sometimes deleted more than just the attacks - for instance, the fact that the subject finished his career as head of an Indian police force (presumably the one in Kerala), which seems to have swung the previous AfD, has now disappeared from the article. Basically, a proper referenced article on the subject probably could be written but it would be a lot of effort - and the emotions the subject rouses are still clearly great enough that the article would still risk the addition of poorly sourced attacks. PWilkinson (talk) 19:15, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (changing to "keep", see below), regretfully, because I suspect the notability is there. I agree with PWilkinson's comments. The current article is an attack page, full of unsourced assertions of cruelty and corruption. The references provided at the page are unhelpful, and basic biographical information is lacking. Google New Archive does provide some Reliable Sources but they are not significantly about the subject. To create a proper article (needing a complete rewrite), or even a neutral sourced stub, would require access to the books which are mentioned in the article and/or found at Google Books. If someone does do a neutral rewrite, with at least some citations to Reliable Sources, I will reconsider my !vote. --MelanieN (talk) 17:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • to some extent I agree that better sources and the book mentioned above are needed, to improve. I have now removed all the unsourced claims along with the attack page tag. All the info in the article in its current form are properly sourced. The subject qualifies notability guidelines so the stub article can be kept. I think all the concerns said raised by the nominator have been addressed. Any comments now ? --ÐℬigXЯaɣ 18:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article is greatly improved now thanks to the revision by DBigXray. While they were doing that, I was creating a possible stub, which I posted at the article's talk page. However I think the article as it now stands is sufficiently sourced and neutral to retain. DBigXray is welcome to incorporate anything from my stub into the article if they wish. --MelanieN (talk) 18:35, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks MelanieN I have now moved your version which actually is an even more stripped version of the article. The article now is fully sourced with no original research or attack of any kind. any more comments for improvement would be welcome--ÐℬigXЯaɣ 18:55, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good, DBigXray, I think between us we have solved this problem. One thing that would help the article (if you have verifiable information, which doesn't necessarily have to be searchable online - it can be a book for example): any biographical information, such as when and where he was born, when and where he died, any education he had, etc. --MelanieN (talk) 19:44, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately the local language of the subject's place is Malayalam (which I do not understand), and the kind of source we would be looking for will be found in Malyalam ( wp:BIAS in online coverage in the region is another concern). Nevertheless, as the subject was popular, we were able to find some coverage in the more popular national media (the hindu, India Today), but thats all i could get.--ÐℬigXЯaɣ 20:08, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The current stub contains enough reliable sources to establish notability and appears to be both accurate and neutral. I noticed in the sources that Padikkal is deceased but no date or circumstances of death are included in the article. He was/is controversial. From the sources already listed, he was involved in and influenced historic episodes in the history of India. I judge that editors will eventually find consensus on how to deal with the controversies in a neutral manner and more sources to improve the article so it becomes truly encyclopedic. Until then, it needs close watching to revert attempts to add inappropriate and unsourced text. DocTree (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there are multiple sources establishing WP:N for this one too. They're under slightly different subtitles though, since the subtitle changed when the book was republished. -- 202.124.72.86 (talk) 09:15, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Among other refs, there's a substantial discussion of the book in Early American Nature Writers (ref [1] in the article). -- 202.124.74.156 (talk) 10:16, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, a few contemporary reviews are listed in the article. The article could be substantially expanded from the given references. -- 202.124.74.156 (talk) 11:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But the question is how many refs constitute "multiple"? Two? Twenty? Two hundred? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:46, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are over 1,000 references in Google Books, in fact, under the original title of "Nature's Garden." Why would you nominate a notable and classic book of nature writing like this? -- 202.124.74.33 (talk) 00:30, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The single line article (at the time of nomination) gave no indication of its notability and a rudimentary check did not convince me of its notability. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 04:34, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Quite often it's down to personal interpretation, which is where discussion and consensus come in. I think the five independent sources added since nomination are acceptable for a short article on a book published in 1900. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 05:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure this one is a genuine mistake by the nominator, because of the title confusion (some of the parallel nominations are less comprehensible). However, I do wish the creators of stubs would give us more than single-line articles. -- 202.124.74.50 (talk) 05:43, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I've buffed the article up a bit and included a few more references. There are several more contemporary reviews that I don't have access to at the moment, including one in the Springfield Republican newspaper. Google searches don't turn up everything, especially when dealing with older books. Passes notability criteria. Rkitko (talk) 04:36, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per the excellent expansion by Rkitko. There are other sources not yet in the article. Passes WP:N. -- 202.124.72.86 (talk) 08:15, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, excellent work also from 202.124.74.156. The basic research that would have established notability is part of the due diligence that the nominator ought to have done first. This wonderful old book should not have been considered for deletion. To quote from Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Non-contemporary books:

The vast majority of books upon which articles are written which invite a notability judgment call and which find their way to articles for deletion, are from the modern era. Nevertheless, the notability of books written or published much earlier may occasionally be disputed and the criteria proposed above intended primarily for modern books may not be as suitable. We suggest instead a more common sense approach which considers whether the book has been widely cited or written about, whether it has been recently reprinted, the fame that the book enjoyed in the past and its place in the history of literature.

I think you need some advice: there is no way you can write up this school project that would make it appropriate for an encyclopedia article. There are many things of established importance that need Wikipedia articles-- perhaps you should ask at WP:WikiProject Australia for suggestions. DGG ( talk ) 05:05, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, could have been considered for speedy delete under A7, no indication of importance. Bcounsel, I understand your desire to promote your new festival, but Wikipedia is not the place for it. This is an international encyclopedia, not a bulletin board. In order to have an article here, a subject has to meet the criteria of being notable and having received significant coverage by independent reliable sources. You will realize that your new festival doesn't come close to meeting these criteria. Good luck with it, and I'm sure you can find other venues to promote it (Facebook for example), but Wikipedia is not one of those venues. --MelanieN (talk) 19:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unable to locate significant independent reliable source coverage to establish notability. This article was speedied, and the speedy was removed by the original author. After it was automatically replaced a new anon IP then removed it. The article was then PRODed and a new account removed the PROD, with none of the issues addressed. So as it stands this appears to be a non-notable private test training program with no significant reliable source coverage available.

ConcernedVancouverite : I agree that the article lacks reliable external links and verifiable sources, however as I had originally added the tag 'Under Construction' for the article, I would have searched and added the necessary data at the suitable time. I could not sit all the time here. So an explanation that it cites no reference and hence should be deleted in vague.
To save wasting everyone's time, don't add articles to Wikipedia until you have sources. Then we don't have to listen to you say that you'll add sources when you get around to it. EEng (talk) 22:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
EEng : According to what you mention, the following articles too are liable to be deleted - FIITJEE, Aakash Institute, and many more which I haven't seen till now. I do know my responsibility when I create articles. This is not, I assure you done for any PROMOTIONAL manner. I found that the article was requested Here , so I thought to create one. Please have a kind look at my contributions where I have created and contributed to articles in various fields. I have no personal or commercial interest in creating an article for this institute. And if you find any problem with the text grammar, you're welcome to show your skills as I belong to a non-English country.
I checked out the two articles you mentioned, and one of them should definitely be deleted as non-notable, and the other likely the same. EEng (talk) 22:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I personally think that the article doesn't contains any such text which can be termed promotional. I took a very high precaution while creating it, since it has been deleted twice earlier. As the sock puppetry investigation, I'm a student and I do not have the time,nor the strength to waste my energy on those useless things to promote anything. I know very sensibly that Wikipedia is not for promotion. I assure that you won't find any such evidence against me. Kindly take appropriate action against those who are involved in such activities and try not to harass the genuine editors.Thanks VIVEK RAI :  Friend?  08:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that your intentions are good, but an article about a non-notable commercial enterprise is per se promotional just by its very existence. As already mentioned, if you find sources before creating the article then you won't get into this trouble again. EEng (talk) 22:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the sources thing. But the comment that the enterprise is a non notable - I wouldn't agree.

Stub has 11 words and zero sources. Appears to fail both WP:V and WP:GNG. There are quite a lot of others like this one... bobrayner (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • The subject is described as a village, and populated places are generally considered automatically notable. Is there doubt about whether this village really exists? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:42, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you have a source for that automatic notability thing? I had a look in WP:GNG and didn't find it. Even if there is a rule which supports some kind of automatic notability for settlements, I expect it's unlikely to extend so far that any article saying only "X exists" - without a source - suddenly gets a green light. bobrayner (talk) 19:36, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The townships in Lhünzhub County are sourced to this page on Baidu Baike, a collaborative web-based encyclopaedia; as far as I can understand it this does not include our Zhujiecun as a township-level settlement, although it does have 朱加乡（ZhujiaXiang）as one of the 19 townships in 1997, now seemingly reorganised into one township-level town and nine township-level townships; per same and the top entry on the National Bureau of Statistics page here 朱加村 or Zhujiacun is one of the village-level entries under 甘丹曲果镇 which I think is our Lhünzhub though google translate gives me the Chinese name of Gandanquguozhen; the Zhujiecun on Google Maps is located between Chunduixiang, Kazixiang and Qianggaxiang (强嘎乡) which probably corresponds with one of the ?Tibetan? names in our county list, which all have articles but don't seem to have this kind of information; even the zh wikipedia doesn't get as far as entries at the village level, and since there seem to be reorganisations these may go out of date and be a push to maintain accurately; I think it would be much more helpful for Lhünzhub County to be properly maintained, with Chinese and Tibetan names and scripts and a good source; I'm not confident to add this detail myself; other language wikipedias seem to be merrily translating the English page as it stands, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 10:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'd disagree with the length requirement - say you're looking for a temple and you find a one liner that says it was founded in a, dedicated to b, is located in x, y, z, gives the english and local names and scripts, has an interwiki link, and a hard reference, that can be one line and an invaluable start and pointer, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 10:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Never get deceived by looking at an article and judging it by the number of words. Every article on Wikipedia has a potential to expand itself into a real one. This particular village could have a large population, as many of them actually do. I see that I've been mentioned here, so I would like to say that it would seem a waste to delete articles that have potential. Jaguar (talk) 12:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Google satellite view shows a field. I have no doubt that more substantial settlements will have more sources covering them, which could permit us to build a decent article; but with this one all we have is an assertion that a settlement exists. This is not an AfD for "notable settlements which could be expanded sometime", it's an AfD for Zhujiecun. Do you have a policy-based reason to keep it? bobrayner (talk) 18:11, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as we are an encyclopedia, and any place on a map (above) seems perfectly logical to include. As to deleting due to size, WP:TOOLITTLE clearly says that this is an argument with no merit at AFD. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 17:05, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • In what way does it satisfy WP:N? bobrayner (talk) 18:11, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The locality appears on some unknown number of maps, presumably many, which are reliable sources (albeit not in depth ones). It also appears in census data, which is more in-depth, and is presumed to appear in reports in local news sources that are not readily available to us at this time, and probably in numerous other kinds of publication. These things pretty-much automatically happen for inhabited places, which is why we assume that all inhabited places meet WP:N. JulesH (talk) 18:59, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted.

If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD. If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article. If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, or an associated WikiProject, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as notability, hoax, original research, or advert; this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to remedy it. you clearly didn't do these before you nominated the article for deletion... I don't care if it is deleted any more but this is going really personal here. Please inform fair minded administrators and editors who have to do with music articles. Some how justice works around here? This is not a personal attack but an obvious inquiry; i can't seem to see how come someone with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or very very poore use of english can be prooved useful in such a community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asouko (talk • contribs) 01:58, 30 May 2012‎

  • It is too bad that you have such a strong dyslexia that you are unable to read the problem on the article: no reliable sources, or, in your language: υπάρχουν αξιόπιστες πηγές Night of the Big Wind talk 09:18, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on Conditions, why don't you all sit and discuss on how to improve the article rather than playing the cops? I really can't understand... The instructions you give are so generalized like "this is not propper, go figure out"--94.66.152.15 (talk) 17:07, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Meets WP:GNG and that is the only thing which matters. Also, from the guideline noted above, "Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb used by some editors when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion." All those notability guidelines are not actually relevant if X is notable and typically asserts whether or not it probably IS notable. Deletion is a last resort, the article can easily be fixed and an internationally recognized band. It doesn't even seem that a major contributor has a mastery of English, so phrases like 'engage tenths of thousands of listeners worldwide' are clearly mistakes. It needs fixing not deleting.

  • Reply - Numerous interviews, critiques on its work, ranked #3 alternative and #15 nationally on Reverbnation's Greek charts. Doesn't seem to be a clear chart for any other, most mix top Greek sales (foreign artists sales rather then national artists). Seeing numerous magazine entries, in rotation at 3 radio stations from 2010-2011. (Needs verification, but it is mentioned with limited details) Has done 100 concerts (by some sources) and has more then hundred thousand plays of their songs according to the records on the Myspace and Lastfm sites. For an indie band it certainly has enough comments to be verified, but as for notability, it generally meets it I think, though a lot of indie artists (even the popular ones) have stand out matters because they do not push the advertising and events as major labels can. There is more then enough (even without the 404s) to prove the band exists, plays frequently, released work and that work has been reviewed in several different sources and has done plenty of interviews for magazines, radio and is part of a fringe musical group, but still more important then Jimbo's garage band because they did international concerts (i.e Syria) and this is before we get into self-publication which they don't seem to be that good at. Is it the most notable thing, no, but it still verifiable and notable enough to receive press throughout the past 2 years. Even with a fair amount of that 404ing before it could be archived. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:46, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The arguments given by Asouko (the author of the article), the other single purpose account, and the single purpose IP amount to (a) mentioning sources which are not reliable, not independent, or both, or too indiscriminate to be an indication of notability (e.g. a blog, press releases, amazon), (b) asserting that it is "undeniable" that a performance by the band is of "undebatable notability", despite the fact that others clearly do deny it, (b) stating that there are other articles which, it is claimed, are no better, (c) saying that anyone who thinks the article should be deleted is "fascist" and "nazi", and is "playing the cops". None of these are reasons for not deleting under Wikipedia policy. The only independent editor to argue for "keep", ChrisGualtieri, says "Meets WP:GNG and that is the only thing which matters", but, as Ten Pound Hammer points out, does not give any indication at all of how or why it "meets WP:GNG". There are 16 references in the article. One of those does not mention "Phase", some of them barely mention it, or merely include it in a list. Some are clearly not independent sources, or not reliable sources. I am not saying "delete", because it may be that there are some reliable sources, but it has not yet been demonstrated that there are. None of the editors saying "keep" have been around for more than a few months, so it may be that they are not clear what is needed to establish notability. Those who are asking for "keep" need to read the guideline on reliable sources, if they haven't already done so, and explain clearly which sources are reliable and why. If they can do so, then that will be great, but if not, then the article will have to be deleted.

    • I disagree... you are partially right BUT wikipedia on the so called verifiability article (don't let me cite it again it's supposed everyone who takes part in the discussion has checked what's been said) it says blogs are taken into account on conditions and we have to accept Duncan Pattersons Official website which happens to be a blog to verify the information that we actually recorded for Phase. it's not a newsblog which we can't ferify the informaation posted. also Uplayas blos is a part of Uplayas website and the post is not created by users but by Uplayas stuff it self and it verifys what's been said about the cover art. Uplaya is a legit organisation and it has also invented the Hit Song Science. Also the reverbnation's chart's are quite legit to my opinion and it verifys the significance of the band for the region. also in the bulgarian interview it's been said about a show in sofia. Eitherway the band meets WP:GNG and ChrisGualtieri is totaly right also for the corrections needed.--Asouko (talk) 15:19, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am a music journalist my self and I agree that people in the community here should notify administrators who have experience in editing and/or supervising music articles in here. Criteria of notability is not a google search with the term "Phase" which as a word is really general and companies with Strong Search Engine Optimisation are in the World Wide Web. Wikipedia is the worlds most reliable encyclopedia at the moment and I have started doubting this reliability... "Teenage" arguements for the sake of arguing or for the gain of small moments of glory wont fit in here. Strongly believe that this article should be in Wikipedia but as you commented my reliability in voting would be of zero significance but I could not, not comment because some stuff simply insult common sense. Not only "Metallica" are demonstrated in Wikipedia and it shouldn't be like that anyway. I "Strong Keep" but bring some one who could really vote for it.

    • I have nominated the article because it lacks reliable sources. But I guess people forget one tiny thing that might be very interesting in this case: sources in English are appreciated, but not mandatory. So reliable sources in Greek, will also be acceptable when reliable and independent... Night of the Big Wind talk 10:23, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Reply' - Reverbnation might not be the best to prove notability but they are ranked #15 nationally. They were previously in the top 100 worldwide on Reverb. Here's an interview in English from RockliveBG, a Greek music website. [44] Interview with RockOverdose (bad quality, in Greek) referred from Soundcloud. [45] One from Artfools. [46] There was a magazine special in Imagine Magazine, Feb. 2012, sadly only some facebook clippings were posted by the band. I've seen dozens of shows which they have played and I hate to say it, but since I don't read or understand Greek I won't be able to do a whole lot to grab native language reviews or content. Though we have numerous little sources, the content should be cut down to what we can verify. I believe deletion is a last resort, but the article is a bit distorted and has too many claims. I've begun cutting them down some. They may not be big, but we can verify that they exist, they play many shows, have a good amount of work, and have some recognition. While it may not be the guideline for Notability music, the fact they have attention is probably enough to pass if the article is fixed up. I'm going to tinker with it some now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Did a load of clean up and fixing. I can see the single being hosted on Feb 2010 from Microsoft's Playlist 7, but I can't get the actual press release for it. A minor mention from a notable companie's larger push for marketing, using Phase's work in the process. Still have numerous indie reviews and small interviews here and there, I'm mostly finding the English ones. According to lastfm's event list they've done more then 30 events recently, but Lastfm is not a reliable source. I've removed the ones which could be used for advertising and some useless sources, cut out the fancy timeline and all but the current members from the band. Its far from perfect, but if fixing these issues will help it stick around, why not. They seem to have released a song 'Red Alert' on a new album on 'Between the Lines'. According to itunes that is, but the album art uses 'Phaze' as the attributed band. So I'm not adding it in. Its one of the more notable indie bands, but no, its not highly important. If anything In Consequence should go and we should keep the band itself just for completeness. I think it meets GNG because we have numerous comments about its existence and has been in good standing with outlets like Reverbnation with #3 in Greek alternative and #15 nationally. Uplaya might not be the best source, but they do reflect the material in this page and did comment about its cover art. I see 8 different interviews, reviews and critiques, but none are major labels. They may not be famous, but we can vouch for certain claims and it is verifiable and repeated throughout numerous sources. Under WP:DEL-REASON it could only hit upon the reason "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)", but they seem to meet WP:MUSIC on some levels and even if they do not meet the exact criteria, it doesn't mean the article has to be deleted.

  • Shouldn't the tags be removed by now? Thank you... --Asouko (talk) 09:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Citing press releases of bands when it's about a fact like Duncan Patterson (or duncanpatterson mentions him self on intevriews or own site) Plays in the record is not improper mention to self published reference because it's not faction (fiction mixed with facts or assumptions) also a year before there were so many more articles on that... not every publication keeps an online archive (especialy if it's in Syria for e.g. ).The article is online on and half a year before the nomination. --Asouko (talk) 17:53, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While true verification is part of the requirement. 404ing is a problem, but quite frankly the scattered information across the net doesn't help too much, reviews, sales, press releases are not individually able to bolster an indie group to Wikipedia level, but together they can prove notability. Self sources are fine for limited scope, but I'd really like to see additional magazine references, critiques and some of the bigger venues played. The Syria one is good, but for groups like this, more information is better then less information and Myspace and Facebook don't go well simply because the content is self-published. Its the 'do other people care about it' part that is the hardest thing to prove. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:50, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE - A quick glance at your talk page shows that you have quite a track record of trying to get good articles deleted, and thus having your deletion nominations denied. You might want to reconsider the community standards on what really is and isn't worthy of deletion, to save everyone time and stress. If something needs improvement, you're supposed to tag it as such, not just throw your hands up and say "delete! delete! delete!"; this isn't a repository of perfect articles which need no further work. Skylarstrickland (talk) 21:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have an article for NOTIS - if that's notable, why isn't this? This was more widely-used. Nearly every American has used a Dynix terminal in a library at some point over the past 30 years.184.4.95.166 (talk) 16:33, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but as the article you've mentioned, we need third party reliable sources covering the matter, not common sense. Regards. --Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 16:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Notable per its widespread usage, as previously stated. I'm working on adding more references -- but even by your own [terse] admission above (and btw, love the "we don't need common sense" statement!), you've improperly handled this: you should have tagged the article as needing additional references, rather than nominating it for deletion. If we deleted every article that needs more sources, Wikipedia would probably lose half its content in an instant. Skylarstrickland (talk) 17:47, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable fictional language CyanGardevoir 10:33, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The related article, Yennefer of Vengerberg, is also nominated for deletion here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yennefer of Vengerberg. People who have an opinion on this may also have an opinion on that, and vice-versa.

  • Merge: The fictional language used in the books can be discussed in the articles about the book series but does not seem to merit an article of its own. A fictional language should only get an article if its own if it gets serious attention as a language.

A note from an N8VEM community member... Dear Sirs/Maam, I am a semi-retired software engineer that decided to learn about digital hardware. I am not quite sure how I came across the N8VEM project, but it was a GOD shot for me. For over a year now I have been working with the N8VEM hardware, building my boards, learning to debug digital hardware, and beginning to learn to design hardware as well. I cannot explain strongly enough, how valuable the project has been to me. It has served as a highly educational experience, as well as an opportunity to meet and collaborate with like minded hardware enthusiasts worldwide that has accelerated my learning process beyond my expectations. Since my successful build of my Zeta SBC, I have written 10k lines of new Z80 code and several dozen utility programs. Not only am I having a ball, but my confidence has increased significantly about the hardware and I believe this will enhance my ability to find work in the hardware area. As the project is a volunteer based project, with completely open source, and the community members are extremely helpful, I am getting the education I could not afford if I had to pay by the unit at a college. I understand there are about 350 of us. I am not sure exactly what "notable" is for you, but the project is making a BIG difference in the real world, providing an opportunity for people like me to learn, and as I progress, share what I know with others. While we may not have been written up in many journals, (and we can work on that), there is no doubt that the project is fulfilling an important need, and in my opinion, the project is worthy to be represented in the wikipedia, as it's non-presence would be a disservice to a large, very hard working group of people devoted to personal growth and community. Please give consideration to keeping the article, and granting it some time to become "notable" in your eyes. Gratefully, Douglas Goodall 19:00PST 28May12.

Hello Douglas, and thanks for posting here. These deletion discussions can be hard to understand for people who are new to Wikipedia, as contributors here often use shorthand, and there are various different rules that we use to judge whether subjects should have their own Wikipedia article. So, I'll try and give you the basics. The most important rule we use, and the one that applies here, is Wikipedia's general notability guideline. This says that there needs to be significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of N8VEM itself for Wikipedia to have an article on it. For a full explanation of this you can read the guideline, or you can have a look at a shortened (and slightly in-your-face) explanation here. This is why most editors above are debating what sources are available about the group, rather than more general or subjective criteria like the difference the project makes in the world. These kind of subjective criteria have little effect on deletion discussions, I'm afraid. (See also the essay on arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.) Let me know if you have any questions about any of this. Best — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 08:23, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I would argue that while there are not many external sources to quote regarding the activities and outputs of the N8VEM and N8VEM/S100 projects, that reflects the specialised nature of the activity and its community mode of operation, rather than a genuine lack of "notability". For instance, the current article on the Raspberry Pi homebuild computer is comprehensive, including pricing information on the commercial (non-profit) product. The main difference is that the Raspberry Pi has large institutional and commercial backing, which allows for publicity and promotional budgets that generate "sources", whereas the N8VEM family of projects are strictly community-based, non-profit, voluntary and work entirely through online collaboration. This does not generate a publicity paper-trail.

A second argument for retention is that the N8VEM projects demonstrate the extension of earlier generations of computer technology, chronicled in Wikipedia, into the present day. Articles on Homebuilt Computers, on the Homebrew Computer Club, and on the S-100 Bus should be edited beyond their current scope to recognise that the technologies and activities described are continuing to develop actively among a world-wide community of enthusiasts. These articles should refer to other projects as well as N8VEM, but they certainly warrant cross reference to an appropriate N8VEM article.

It is understood that the N8VEM article needs to be informational rather than promotional and I understand several editors are willing to work on that.

Declaration of interest: I have contributed edits to Wikipedia on other topics. I have followed the N8VEM projects for some years and made some minor contributions to the work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rthwait (talk • contribs) 06:28, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Redirect - Notability is not inherited from the brand name or the songs/artists featured. There is no evidence whatsoever that this album in and of itself possesses any notability. The fact that its existence and content can be verified is no indicator of notability. The existance of a whole slew of shitty articles listed on Now That's What I Call Music! discography is not a cause for this to remain. Nothing against the creator, who I'm sure only acted in good faith.
    I've just read that discography and I am kinda pissed-off that there are a couple HUNDRED of these things which consist entirely of track listings and the odd token line about chart success or the popularity of an individual song on it with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that ranks higher than the most mind-numbingly trivial media mentions. None of those articles will EVER meet WP:GNG because they're just commercial compilations which are advertised, released and then forgotten about a few months later when they create the NEXT in the series.

Do we really need an article explaining this? Although the information on the article might be notable, it is not notable enough to carry an entire article for itself. All this time articles whould be merged into a Time in the United States article. Also, i think this is information that would only be needed on the articles related to time zones (which already have a list), and written on the infobox of each one of those states. Not in a separate article. Hahc21 [TALK][CONTRIBS] 04:09, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This is one of a large number of similar articles covering different US states that have been created over the last few days.

    Let me revise my opinion on the similar articles. Things like Time in Indiana should obviously be kept as a stand-alone article (and possibly renamed, but that's another debate). However I still think the present article, and others with similar content, should be merged. If any of them can be expanded beyond trivial lists of time zones, etc., then I would be fine with keeping them as stand-alone articles, but I don't think that this will be the case for most of them. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 14:53, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Time in Illinois contains historic information about time observance in Chicago. This information AFAICS does not exist anywhere else in Wikipedia. Observance at other locations in Illinois can be added if that information is found. To collect that information at Time in the United States, would make that article larger than WP articles normally are. Royaume du Maroc (talk) 15:52, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep Material and procedural. Material: There is so much information about time in every state, that it would be too large to merge into the US time article. Procedural: Also, if the nominator wants to merge an article, it is the wrong process to put an AfD notice. That's abuse of templates. Royaume du Maroc (talk) 12:26, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Its a fair point that the Time in the United Statesrticle is already quite large. However, there is also a separate article, List of time zones by U.S. state, which covers the essential info about the time zones. I would think that the stuff about clocktowers would be best included within the articles(s) on individual states. It's a question of fragmentation of information: this information is useful, but a huge number of individual articles is not the best way to do it.TheLongTone (talk) 12:43, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And I think it is also better to have historic time information on state specific articles. "Time in <some state>" may attract attention of local editors to add more historic information. Royaume du Maroc (talk) 16:26, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I think this ought to be handled on a case-by-case basis. For example, in the case of Indiana, the time zone has been a matter of longstanding controversy and as such there's useful information to deal with. And there are probably articles on other states that could - if the sources are there - explore changes in time zones over time, or weird DST changes. OTOH, it's difficult to see how this article on time in Illinois passes notability requirements.
The clocktowers stuff isn't obviously relevant to these articles - but in practice many of them won't contain much else. If we really need articles to list every clocktower in the United States - if such articles are genuinely notable - they belong in a list of clocktowers series, not here.

  • Keep this and the others. I created a number of them as stubs to contain at least the county time-zone split info when it was too much for the main article. Some of it did not even exist elsewhere in WP or is inconsistent or incorrect. They are all a work in progress. They will include time zone maps like Time in Idaho and be a repository for other information that cannot be reasonably included in the already-long main article.

    (edit conflict) I was assuming good faith. :) I do think that this information should be on Wikipedia somewhere - it's just that there's a difference between not assuming good faith and thinking that a topic would be better presented a different way. Looking at all the debate here, I think the issue is really outside the scope of AfD. The discussion has shifted from the one article at hand, Time in Illinois, to the whole set of state time articles, but at the end of the day the closing admin here will have to make a decision about this one individual article. I think we should wait until this discussion has been closed, and then start a request for comments over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Time about how we should treat this subject in general. If the decision is to merge this particular article, then there are still a few different ways we can present the information. We could create a List of clock towers in the United States, for example. Or maybe we could work some of the information into History of time in the United States. As TheLongTone said, it's a question of fragmentation of information. Best — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 11:52, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
comment Its not a matter of not assuming good faith or of the value of the information: it is obvious that you are both serious about this. it is rather about how and where it is best placed in wikipedia, both to make the informtion readily accessable and to avoid fragmentation of data. Really for most of this information a large number of individual articles is not a good way to do this.TheLongTone (talk) 11:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This was proposed for being deleted, Articles for deletion/Time in Illinois. Deletion is not really relocation, is it? BTW, I just found maps for the Standard Time Act of 1918, this gives more information to be added at state level. Royaume du Maroc (talk) 04:35, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly off the main topic, but a small review of AfD/merger procedures, in answer to Royaume de Maroc's question: As described in Wikipedia:Merging, there are two processes that often end up resulting in mergers when they are done.
  1. The direct merge discussion, where someone tags an article with {{merge}}, {{mergeto}}, {{mergefrom}}, etc., then users discuss it on one of the article talk pages. It's usually for articles in which it is difficult to see how one topic is truly separate from others. It's also used when it is obvious that the articles obviously cover the same subject, and there is a question about which one should be the "main" article and which should be merged in and redirected. This is a more informal process than Articles for Deletion, and sometimes sits around a long time before being resolved; on the other hand, sometimes it doesn't last very long at all, because the person proposing the merger is fairly sure about it and just wants to make sure that nobody objects. Sometimes only part of the material is merged (a "section merge").
  2. The Articles for Deletion discussion, where sometime tags the article for deletion and goes through the formal AfD process. This is usually when there is a question of whether the article's subject itself meets Wikipedia:Notability, but AfDs can be based on any reason an article shouldn't exist. AfD is a fairly formal process: it has rules for opening, closing, and requires administrator action to close it in most cases. "Merge and redirect" is a common response when a participant feels that the article subject itself doesn't meet the criteria for an article (that is, it is eligible for deletion), but it appears that some of the text might be useful in another article, or the article name might be something that would be useful for searching. When an AfD is closed as "merge and redirect", that basically means "Delete", but salvaging (some) text to add to another article. If "Redirect", then it's also the same as Delete, but with a useful redirect left to indicate which article the subject should be in.
I hope this helps. --Closeapple (talk) 06:17, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod (talk) 01:06, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's a stub now, but it's definitely worthy of expansion to a decent article. Aside from chopping the pointless clock towers section, we could improve it by discussing the state of timekeeping before the implementation of time zones, the process of adapting time zones, the relationship with Indiana's changing time zones, etc. Nyttend (talk) 03:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do we have sources for this, i.e. evidence that this passes WP:GNG specifically for the state of Illinois? It seems to me that most of what you discuss is all very well in principle, but is likely to be general information that doesn't need a specific article for Illinois but can be handled at a US level. The situation in Illinois is unlikely to be much different from, say, Wisconsin or Missouri. And we're surely best off describing the situation in Indiana in the article about Indiana - it doesn't seem to be a reason to have an article on Illinois. Kahastok talk 16:25, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand this. Look how long and detailed the information is for Indiana. It's entirely reasonable to think that other states might have similarly detailed histories, isn't it? Do we really want one article (Time in the United States) with 16 maps (based on the current number of multi-zone states with articles) and as many as 50 detailed histories? Note that my arg is not about IL currently – it's more about the states that currently have multiple time zones, though if and when someone wants to investigate and write about histories, it almost certainly will be about the rest of the states. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 09:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For Indiana, the time zone has a long and thorny history. It would surprise me if more than one or two other states have a similarly complicated history in this area. But I'm reserving judgement on that. So far as I'm concerned, this is an AFD for Time in Illinois and I'm focussing on Time in Illinois. This AFD should not be automatically taken as a precedent for any state other than those whose position is clearly comparable to Illinois, and even in those cases we should be going to AFD on a case-by-case basis. My point is that I have yet to see evidence that Time in Illinois passes WP:GNG. If we don't pass notability requirements - if we can't write a policy-compliant article - we shouldn't have an article. Kahastok talk 10:45, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, no one is arguing to delete the Indiana article, but that doesn't mean every state needs one. Johnbod (talk) 13:16, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly don't think "Time in Illinois" needs a stand-alone article. The time-zone & general historical material belongs in Time in the US: I don't think there's a case for a list of clocktowers in Illiois article & would think it a pretty trivial inclusion in the Illinois article.TheLongTone (talk) 14:08, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • To you that seems so. But underground and indie hiphop are different. And thanks to that other page you nominated we know how much you know about hiphop related genres. What do you think of that other possibility: improving the article? You just nominate stuff for deletion and then you canvass hoping it will be deleted. Arcandam (talk) 18:08, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • But what are you basing this difference on? Isnt it your opinion? What is this article based on? If you want to improve, then no one's stopping you, but take my points in good faith and stop accusing me of canvassing. I've only nominated "hip pop" for deletion, and now this. It's relatevily new to me. I just pointed out the problem with the references listed for this article, so what's your take on that? Dan56 (talk) 18:20, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • On years long experience listening to music, but there is probably a source out there somewhere if you spend some time on Google. But you are unwilling to do that. Unlike you I can name a lot of songs that mention the genre pop rap/hip pop for example. And I can use Google to find sources. Can you do that too? Maybe even better than I can? Please please show me. :-) AGF only works when there is no evidence to the contrary. Didn't I ask you if you had read WP:CANVASS? Didn't you answer yes? [54] Didn't you do the canvassing after that? You have not only nominated "hip pop" for deletion, you have also nominated Indie hip hop. Arcandam (talk) 19:17, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, you keep avoiding the points I present. First you wanted sources for poprap, now that even you have to agree there are more than enough sources and that they are fine you change your opinion and suddenly another change is "required". My advice is to go buy a monkey to do your work for you if you are too lazy. If those two articles are the only ones you've tried to get deleted so far you seem to totally misunderstand which pages should be deleted and which should be kept and why.

  • Okay?... Hordes of articles using the term, but same for other neologisms, like "indie jazz" or "old school funk". Who said "trivial"? I meant coverage in general.. of the term/genre, whatever the claim is, not what's in the criteria of WP:NEO. Are you referring to the articles on independent labels signing hip hop acts? I don't see anything on GoogleNews about the genre, though. A lot of the results are in the vein of "indie rap label(s)", referring to independent labels that happen to release hip hop music. This one has the author using "indie" in quotes, apart from "hip-hop", as if he's uncomfortable using "indie". GoogleBooks results, like Spin (10/2000), mirror what Underground hip hop's content (anti-commercial, conscious lyrics, indie labels, etc.) Content forking? Otherwise, which results on News or Books have anything "about the term or concept"? Dan56 (talk) 21:50, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The exception cited in WP:OUTCOMES#Music, alternative metal, is one that has at least some articles covering the topic. That discussion resulted in enough, albeit minimal coverage, with articles cited like About.com's entry and Allmusic's entry, soley about alternative metal. If such articles existed for this case, they would make it a notable term/genre, and an exception to deletion. Dan56 (talk) 21:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect as a unnecessary content fork of underground hip hop, which has basically the same meaning, and this term is much less used than the underground term. The term in its current use and how it is mentioned in sources is either as underground hip hop or original research by several blogs which aren't reliable sources. It seems like most of the "keep" voters in the AFD mainly participated because of the bloodbath between Dan56 and Arcandam and didn't do further research on the subject, which is one of AFD main weaknesses, that people who aren't familiar with the subject are mainly the ones who decides if an article gets kept or not. It is easy to decide if the subject/topic meets GNG, but it's usually misinterpreted like in this case, or there's other violations that trumps GNG. Secret account 18:13, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elementary schools are not generally considered notable enough to be subjects of articles, and nothing in this article suggests that this is an exception. (PROD removed without explanation.) JamesBWatson (talk) 13:10, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There was no reason given for contesting the proposed deletion of this article. You commented on the fact that the title is ambiguous, but that is not giving a reason for not deleting it. You now say "convert to disambiguation", but you have neither indicated what existing articles need such disambiguation, nor given any reason why the present article should not be deleted. If there are other articles which might justifiably have this title, then we can create a disambiguation page for them, but creating such a disambiguation page is a completely separate issue from whether the present article should be deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:37, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The reason given is implied, that 1) deletion is not necessary & 2) that it could serve a better function; while I could have just parroted "Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Schools", I went to more effort to try to locate all schools with the name, checking each state & the NRHP; there are 2 and a one-off, as I listed at the article talk page. None are on the NRHP or involved in momentous events which indicate articles are justified. A disambiguation page for them, therefore, should conveniently be located here. You could have redirected it, or renamed it with its locality and redirected it, justified per Common outcomes#Schools; instead you Prod'ed it which would have left a void, inviting recreation, and doing nothing to fix the problem, and bit a new contributor. I deProd'ed it, having done all the necessary verification. The school is verifiable; the article is not a hoax, an attack page, or a copyvio, but seems to be a good faith initial contribution by a new editor. I gave an explanation, you claimed I gave none, and I can see that it did not address your concern, skipping straight to the end result that fills the most voids. You could then have turned it into a disambiguation page; none of these schools meet current guidelines to justify existing articles, which is unlikely to change anytime soon, but are valid search terms which can be used to get users to relevant content. All of this you no doubt know as an adminstrator. Deletion is unnecessary overkill which invites the creation of the other school's article, and/or recreation of this one, when we can fix both situations now and get back to work.

Mildly amusing retelling of a non-notable sporting fixture given an amusing(?) name thanks to the amusing(?) ramblings of a couple of minor presenters. Not a great event like, say the 1966 Cup Final or the 2011 Super Bowl. Does this belong anywhere in an encyclopaedia? Emeraude (talk) 17:41, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Please review what WP:GNG actually says. Of the three articles cited above, the first is a pre-game discussion of the "Battle for the Butter" name bestowed by the ESPN radio jocks (not the actual game itself), the second article was published in the on-line Stony Brook student newspaper and therefore does not qualify as an independent source per WP:GNG and cannot be used to support the game's notability, and the third article includes a trivial mention of the game and hardly qualifies as a meaningful source for determining notability. If these are the best available sources, the article should be simply deleted. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:53, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Mike and Mike in the Morning – After consideration, changed my !vote here to merge. (Sidenote: I'm well aware of the prose at WP:GNG, hence the initial "weak keep" !vote). Also, per WP:PRESERVE an actual merging of the verified information should occur, not just a "merge" that actually just ends up as a redirect without any of the information specifically/selectively merged.

  • Redirect: Just because a few sources mention it doesn't mean we have to have a whole article about it pbp 04:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect. Seriously? Six weeks ago, we were having a heated notability debate whether to keep a well-sourced article about a recent Michigan-Notre Dame game that we ultimately decided to delete, by a roughly 4–1 margin, because the UM-ND game had little lasting historical significance and little continuing media coverage of a meaningful nature per WP:NEVENT. This "Battle of the Butter" game in no way qualifies for a presumption of notability under the more specific game notability guidelines of WP:SPORTSEVENT, nor does it appear to satisfy the applicable guidelines of WP:NEVENT. In short, there is no reason why this relatively meaningless regular season Division I FCS college football game should have a stand-alone article. That it presently exists is a testament to inconsistently applied notability standards. I strongly urge everyone who has participated in this discussion so far to review the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Michigan vs. Notre Dame football game, as well as the event notability guidelines of WP:NEVENT, and then focus their comments on the applicable notability standards. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:36, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some random midwest United States American football matchup that seems to have gotten no coverage compared to the Battle for the Butter's nationwide coverage seems a bad comparison.--Milowent • hasspoken 05:32, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A Notre Dame - Michigan college football game is not a "random" college football matchup. It was a game with two of the biggest and most historically significant squads in college football, and got way more coverage than this clearly random college football matchup. This game only got some coverage because of a joke by some journalists and the coverage died off after a few days. It's like comparing apples and oranges here.

Still fails WP:GNG. The only sources that look decent are from a blog (Broken Frontier) which may or may not be reputable. In the last AFD, 84user dug up sources from the Hartford Courant, but further analysis showed them only to be trivial mentions. Any other arguments for keeping were only WP:ITSNOTABLE and WP:ILIKEIT. Further searching on Google News only found one-sentence name-drops that say nothing about the comic, just that it exists. No one of good repute has reviewed it. It is not published on a notable site or in a notable work.

Both the first and second AFDs were closed as "no consensus". Can we finally get a consensus this time? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:34, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like a consensus on whether or not someone should be able to nominate the same article twice, as you just did again. Sure, its been awhile since your first nomination, but someone else nominated earlier this year. Dream Focus 05:25, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination and WP:GNG. We should have no trouble finding significant coverage in multiple (more than two) reliable secondary sources for a ten year old webcomic if it were notable. None of the suggested sources here provide significant coverage in a reliable source. For example: Broken Frontier [64] is a brief post on a comics site, the site says "Come write for BF!" and "Post your own news directly to the top of our Headlines section." The Portland Press Herald article[65] that at least two editors have pointed to gives less than a single sentence on this topic. Rangoondispenser (talk) 23:04, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

            • I think I agree with you on that. I think it's too early to tell, frankly, whether this single video is significant enough to be the kind of 'big event' that would overcome that concern. It might turn out that way, but not yet. It would be good if the issue could be considered further in, say 1-2 months but I'm not well-versed enough in Wikipedia policy (including deletion policy) to know whether that's viable, or whether the 2 pages could be 'undeleted' if this proves to have significant staying power.Orfeocookie (talk) 03:55, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
              • If an article on a given subject has been deleted via AfD but somebody thinks they can create an article that satisfies the objections that led to deletion, then they should contact the administrator who closed the AfD and deleted the article, explaining this.

Apparently non-notable sports team. In the third division of the local league. Apparently they made it to the grand final last year, but the photos of the event don't seem to have any specatators on the sidelines, which doesn't speak of much the team or the division being very notable.

Article attempts to define the term Runet in contravention of WP:NOTDICT, apparently because of controversy about Internet in Russia to which the Runet article is often/currently redirected. The term may possibly be suitable for Wiktionary or a footnote in Runet but it is not appropriate as an article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:25, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article is a stub, but there is some information about this term can be borrowed from Russian Wikipedia. Runet is a term without clear definition, but it is widely used and has own long history. Runet is not Internet in Russia, because it was developed, for example, from Israel. And currently 14% of Runet is from Ukraine. Maybe it seems that Runet is Internet in Russian language, but sometimes TatNet, ChuvashTet, Bynet, Kaznet and Uanet are de facto included in term Runet and they are counted in statistics of Runet. Runet is a summation of Russian-language Internet, Ukrainian-language Internet (Yandex several years ago stated that they not devided Russian and Ukrainian news because they think that all users automaticly understand both languages), Internet in Russia, Ukaraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and all depended languages in any country in the world. Runet is commons news and information space. Runet needs a good research, but now we can understand what is Runet from such notable sources like mass media and sociological organisations. --TarzanASG (talk) 05:25, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
These comments apply to "Runet" which is another article. That article may or may not deserve to be a redirect to Internet in Russia - but the matter does not concern us here. This AfD is about "Runet (term)" which is in addition to "Runet"; since it is purely about a (dictionary) term it has no place on Wikipedia. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:47, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is exactly about this article! In Wikipedia we must have 4 separate pages: 1) "Runet" (currently - Runet (disambiguation)) - disambiguation page, because nobody can exactly says what Runet means; 2) "Runet (term)" (or maybe Runet (terminology) is better according to WP:NOTDIC) - really big article about origin of term, its usage (including different meanings), cultural impact - "Runet in (popular) culture" (thousands and thousands cases, because in Russia often they say "Runet" instead "Internet"), notable quotes about "Runet", etc.; 3) "Internet in Russia" also with "state propaganda" called it as Runet; 4) "Internet in Russian" with statistics and opinion of users, that it is exactly Runet. Finally, "Runet (term)" is a stub, that has potential, which I showed. --TarzanASG (talk) 02:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Per Wikipedia's Five pillars, the encyclopedia also functions as an almanac. This type of information is found in almanacs. Also, importantly, the term "Runet" also applies to other aspects of the internet besides just the internet in Russia. From the article: "in 2009, a Yandex report stated that Runet can pertain to sites written in Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Kazakh languages​​, as well as sites in any language published in the national domain .am, .az, .by, .ge, .kg, .kz, .md, .ru, .su, .tj, .ua или uz".[1] Therefore, a redirect to the Internet in Russia article would not improve the encyclopedia and would be inaccurate, because this topic also pertains to other countries. Also, using a translation service, the article in the reference within this comment contains a very detailed analysis of the term. The term is exceedingly more complex than a simple dictionary definition.

  • Speedy Delete WP:CRIME 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. Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies: 1.The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities; 2.The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role.
The individuals involved in this case are not "renowned national or international figures", and this case is not a "well-documented historic event", so Wikipedia's crime notability guidelines have not been met. Furthermore, this article violates WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP. NJ Wine (talk) 03:33, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect/comment - This seems to be the contest run by Nike Oshinowo-Soleye who has also been NFD'd. However, it seems to me that Nike herself is notable (she has been described as one of the 20 most influential people in Nigeria) with sufficient sources out there about her, and the contest is mentioned quite often in relation to her, both as a former winner and as the person behind the current incarnation. So I suggest that the two articles be combined, with the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria article made into a sub-section of an improved/rewritten Nike Oshinowo-Soleye article, and the contest itself turned into a redirect to Nike's page. Mabalu (talk) 21:42, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
comment As I just said on the Oshinowo-Soleye AfD, the "20 most" source is a copy/paste of the Oshinowo-Soleye article itself! so not a WP:RS. Refs from that website should be marked unreliable (also it is unattributed). Widefox (talk) 10:30, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm sorry, but this article is not 'full of crap'. New citation has been added. And Nike Oshinowo is in charge of Miss Nigeria, not MBGN; her page will soon be re-written.Cleanupbabe (talk) 14:02, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep - the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria beauty pageant is by far one of the largest, if not the largest, beauty pageant in Nigeria. All major and minor newspapapers and magazines, tv & radio stations in Nigeria devote extensive coverage each year to the events prior, during and after the beauty show. The scores of print media in Nigeria alone suffice for this pageant to easily pass WP:GNG, as there is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The MTV Base reference in the article has given the pageant notable international recognition (MTV Base calls the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria beauty pageant "...a much loved event..."). MTVBase recently broadcast a 30 minutes interview with the founder of The Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant, Ben Murray-Bruce. Wikipedia's Guideline on Notability for Organizations stipulates the following:

    Wikipedia bases its decision about whether an organization is notable enough to justify a separate article on the verifiable evidence that the organization or product has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product. Notability requires only that these necessary sources have been published—even if these sources are not actually listed in the article yet (though in most cases it probably would improve the article to add them).

    I have thusly included below a list of reliable sources which all either directly address the pageant or report about it. Surely, from these source, it is established, that the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria beauty pageant has attracted the notice of reliable sources, and thusly fulfilled WP:ORG, WP:ORGIN, WP:GNG, WP:RS and WP:V. Since I'm presently short on time, it'd be good if another editor could please add some of the sources into the MBGN article to improve it. Thank you. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Amsaim (talk) 22:27, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Jemma, and since 2008 I have been responsible for editing the MBGN and Miss Nigeria pages. In recent weeks I have been accused of creating pages which are subsequently used to attack the subjects and add false information. These claims are ridiculous, and I can assure the administrators that as a Wiki editor, that is not my intention, as I am aware that these article are read by people all over the world, and indeed a few of the subjects have contacted me to voice their complaints, which is never intentional but always rectified.

As far as the MBGN page is concerned, I would like to point out a few facts which have been questioned by Widefox:

  • MBGN in Nigeria is a genuine beauty pageant, the biggest in Nigeria, and the most consistent; therefore the website cited is reliable [1].
  • In the late 80's, Nigeria's rights to Miss World were sold to Silverbird, organisers of MBGN.
  • It is a well-known fact that the pageants winners have been mostly Igbo women, stating with Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu in 1986. The current titleholder, Isabella Ayuk is the first non-Igbo woman from the South-East to win the title in nine years. The reference cited clearly states that Ayuk is a Cross River-native, and most people from this area are Efik. The previous five winners of the contest were Igbo - any Nigerian can tell by looking at their surnames; for all those who are not familiar with African names, I can provide citation. Omotu Bissong, who won the contest in 2003 (as Celia Bissong) was also from Cross River. After her reign, no other Cross River-native won the title; the winners were mainly Igbo women like rapper Munachi Nwankwo. Regina Askia, who was also a non-Igbo contestant from the South-East did not actually win in 1988 - she replaced Bianca Onoh, yet another Igbo winner.
  • The history section may work better in prose, so that will be re-written, adding more references where necessary.
  • Some of the links are dead now, but they shall be revived. I should also state that most of them were reliable sources as they came from newspapers such as The Punch and The Vanguard which are reputable journals in Nigeria.
  • The 'Trivia' section is actually a Crossover section - other pageant pages like Miss World have similar segments.
  • Finally' I have noticed that anytime I try to clean up or update this page - with references too - it is changed back to the former contribution. Please bear in mind that these article are being read by people all over the world...and Sylvia is no longer the reigning queen.

  • Weak keep In Google News, there are boatloads of examples of ill-informed writers using the term incorrectly as a pejorative, and possibly hidden within that large list, sources using it in its proper sense. I will admit that this is evidence of a less widespread use than would be ideal to show notability. However, that is not the whole story, and sifting through the pile of purple prose is unnecessary, as there are a great deal of instances of it being used in its proper sense to be found in Google Books and Scholar. Anarchangel (talk) 00:21, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Per WP:NEO, "Some neologisms can be in frequent use, and it may be possible to pull together many facts about a particular term and show evidence of its usage on the Internet or in larger society. To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term."

  • Merge into libertarian socialism. I don't see a lot of independent sources for this term, but based on the article, it is a real economic concept developed by libertraian socialists. The other reason that I prefer merger is that artificial market has an alternative meaning refering to a real economic market that has been distorted by some non-market factor, or unusual business behavior. Here's an example of the other usage. NJ Wine (talk) 03:51, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as NJ Wine. I agree that this fits within the libertarian socialism article - if that were thought to be getting unwieldy the best course would be to divide the historical survey in that article from contemporary theories on how such a society might be ordered. I share NJ Wine's concerns about articles on an unusual or local use of a word or phrase in common use occupying that title in WP. It happens too often and is very confusing to users. If the article is kept it should be renamed to distinguish this use and users be offered a link to an article explaining the more common application of the term. --AJHingston (talk) 16:49, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The subject does not appear to be notable. The article reads more like a billboard for advertising an enterprise insignificant and not worthy of a WP article. The references provided do not establish WP:Notability and even worse break every guideline set forth in WP:NOTPROMO--Regeek (talk) 15:21, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
