Government bureaucrat; does not meet the notability criteria of WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG. Search of Google and Google News did not find any significant coverage. Unreferenced since 2008. MelanieN (talk) 23:00, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- P.S. I didn't want to prod this article because it does appear to imply notability. Also, the article has been here a long time and has been edited by several different people. However, I do believe he fails the notability test. The only thing I found on a Google News search was this passing mention. --MelanieN (talk) 23:03, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Although he is a member of an important political family as his grandfather won the Nobel Peace Prize and later became Prime Minister of Canada, notability is not inherited and this person is simply a competent but non-notable civil servant. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:54, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The only "reference" being cited here is a dead link to an article written by, not about, him — thus, there is not sufficient sourcing here to pass either WP:BLP or WP:GNG. While it's certainly possible that he might be notable enough for a properly written article, as a living person he's not entitled to keep an unreferenced one, and there's no role that's so notable that the need to have articles about its holders overrides Wikipedia's rules about proper referencing. I'm certainly willing to reconsider this if the article actually sees improvement before closure, but in its current form it's an obvious delete. Bearcat (talk) 19:23, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't even find a mention of him at the website of the agency where he works, Fisheries and Oceans Canada - where I was hoping to find at least verification if not notability. The only verification I could find that he even works there is the article I cited above, where he is quoted as being "of" that agency. --MelanieN (talk) 20:08, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This individual may be notable but we require WP:V. I did my best to locate _any_ source that mentioned this individual, but was unable to find anything. I tried both Google and the website of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. -- Sailing to Byzantium (msg), 18:11, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a non-notable segment of VeggieTales. Unless there happen to be reliable and independent in-depth sources about this, this article should be deleted because this is mostly a excessive summary on what this segment is. Nor would I think the albums listed here are notable either. EditorEat ma talk page up, scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22:46, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Merge/Redirect - I'm getting a few hits on Bing News, but they're not particularly substantial, so maybe we could reduce this to a section on the VeggieTales page if anything? öBrambleberry of RiverClan 22:53, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This is a highly popular segment. We do have some in-depth mention of it in this book and a number of news articles focusing on the segment. Given that the show began in the 90's, it is not surprising that online sources would be harder to come by, but they are there and do support having an independent article.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 20:39, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD contested by DGG (talk · contribs). 'Winter 2013' refers to transfers made in December 2013/January 2014 i.e. the future. There is therefore no meaningful content to be had yet and so this fails WP:CRYSTAL. GiantSnowman 09:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Yes, definitely - May 2012 is not winter 2013! GiantSnowman 10:35, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. The one name listed is wrong, too and should be in the summer 2013 part. SOXROX (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The 2013 winter transfer window in France was open between 1 January 2013 and 31 January 2013 (if in synch with the rest of Europe), that means that this is a list about something that has happened and means that WP:CRYSTAL can't be used as a rationale to delete the page. You should also check out List of French football transfers winter 2012. Yes, the list is incomplete and something should be done about it, but being a stub or a incomplete list is not a reason to delete, as this is a notable topic. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:03, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Hmmm, we appear to have a mystery- where are the winter 2013 transfers, then? They have to be somewhere on this site, don't they? SOXROX (talk) 01:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- Obvious case of WP:TOOSOON. Once the list can be reasonably populated it should be included, but not yet. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:00, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Would make perfect sense if we were discussing the winter 2014 window, but last time I checked the 2013 January transfer window closed some months ago. Mentoz86 (talk) 22:01, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Wow, I should really be paying more attention. Since we're talking about a past transfer window, then obviously this should be kept and properly populated. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - regardless of whether we are talking about December 2012/January 2013 or December 2013/January 2014, I think we can all agree that May 2012 is not "winter 2013" - and as that is the only entry, the list serves zero purpose in its current state.

- keep and improve - The page List_of_French_football_transfers_winter_2012 details the list of transfers between end of dec 2011/end of jan 2012. List of French football transfers winter 2013 is clearly supposed to detail the list of transfers between end of dec 2012 and end of jan 2013. This article needs improvement and a look through the associated pages should enable the page to be updated (or someone with a better grasp of French could look at the French wikipedia season pages for the teams involved)=> Spudgfsh (Text Me!) 20:47, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A not notable independent rapper that fails WP:BAND, nothing but trivial mentions and a google news search turns up nothing. STATic message me! 21:46, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The two references in the article when it was created, are both reliable sources, so he passes WP:GNG just fine. Dream Focus 23:06, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: I wanted to note as the article creator, that I decided to create this article based on its appearance very high in WP:TOPRED, which among other things, has helped to identify areas of bias in wikipedia coverage. In the area of popular young black rap artists, we have been falling short, certainly as compared to sketchy indie bands from Brooklyn with low record sales but coverage in sites like Pitchfork. Of course I also determined that the subject appeared to also be notable before creating the article.--Milowent • hasspoken 04:49, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find any evidence of her meeting WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO or even WP:GNG. All of her roles were either minor, supporting ones or one-episode guest appearances, she did not win or was nominated for any awards even though the shows she appeared in were nor contributed to the entertainment industry in any way, and has no Facebook, Twitter, or official website showing any fan base. Furthermore, there was little-to-no coverage of her in news articles, interviews, blogs, etc. back while she was acting or even today to indicate that she has plans to act again in the future The Legendary Ranger (talk) 21:39, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

tagged for notability in 2010. Probably does not meet our current guidelines DGG ( talk ) 20:47, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Yes, she was mayor in 2010, and of a fairly good sized city - but the mayor is not elected there, they are merely one of the city councilmembers elected to serve as mayor by the other councilmembers (who in those situations often rotate the office around among themselves so that they all get to be "mayor") - so her notability remains that of a city councilmember IMO. And for a city of that size, there is remarkably little to be found in sources about her. Fails WP:GNG and of course fails WP:POLITICIAN as well. --MelanieN (talk) 02:53, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Is Moreno Valley, California a city of regional significance? It is the second largest city in Riverside County. It has a population larger than some of the cities where the result is 'keep.' My sense is the answer to my first question is no and therefore, based on WP:POLOUTCOMES the entry should be deleted.

This article is about a Veggietales episode, released 15 years ago, that is pretty much non-notable like most of the other Veggietales shorts. All this article is is just an overly detailed plot summary, and a list of segments and songs in the episode. Thats it. There is nothing else in this article that shows this is a notable topic to be included on an encyclopedia like Wikipedia, and I wasn't able to find such thing. I'm also considering nominating the other episode articles for deletion, but I'll see after this review on what I will do with them. But as of now, this fails WP:NF.

- Keep - A single VeggieTales episode isn't a notable topic. However, if there are indeed other articles with information about VeggieTales episodes, I recommend keeping those articles and adding a category, since there are about ten thousand articles out there about television show episodes, and only a handful have been deleted.

- It is a notable topic if it passes WP:NF. Otherwise, it would just be your personal opinion. Technically, it isn't an episode. They were first released straight to video. SL93 (talk) 19:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - And I refuse to see Doctor Who confined to a single article. I am Quibilia. (talk) 18:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Following EditorE's logic, a majority of all movie/television show pages would deleted. There is a page of just about every single video (which thus makes every page "notable") and although some (most?) are missing sufficient citations and tend to attract IP editors who are constantly adding in OR nonsense and trivial detail, this is hardly grounds for deletion and the page's failure to completely meet WP:NF appears to be simply his opinion - "sufficient" citations is only one part of Notability.

Non-notable DJ and bar owner; googling for "chris kelly" is difficult as he shares his name with a rapper; '"chris kelly" londoner' (with the name of his bar attached) turns up absolutely nothing. "Christopher Hodgson" doesn't turn up anything either. The only remotely notable mention of him anywhere appears to be in the article given, which doesn't satisfy WP:N, in my opinion.

- Weak keep. I believe spouses of heads of state should be presumed notable, but I have only been able to find 2 essentially identical obituaries, information from which I've added to the article.

- Keep Whilst I would not go so far as to say that the spouse of a head of state is automatically notable, it would be unusual for them not to be. The wife of a three term president in a small country is bound to become well known there and there is sufficient even in the references currently provided to confirm that. Obituaries and tributes will indicate if the person took little part in public life, whilst she is described as being widely liked and respected, a clear indication of notability for this purpose. There are other hints of notability from a Google search, but the Icelandic newspapers during her husband's period in office look as though they are probably not available online, and if so Google is going to give a poor indication of notability. Her lack of coverage in English language sources is irrelevant. --AJHingston (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As documented in the GNU Hurd page, the Hurd is historically significant project because its development delays spurred the adoption of Linux. The primary sources are being used to document the straightforward fact that Mr. Bushnell was its founder and project leader for 12 years, which should qualify him for non-temporary notability. — Efrenmanes (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Keep The IP address who keeps removing the speedy deletion template is actually banned user User:Cvlwr (see the sock case for ample evidence that these addresses are logged-out edits from him). That would normally make one suspicious, but almost as disruptive is the fact that this article has been nominated for speedy deletion five or six times by many different veteran editors who apparently aren't doing their homework.

Was deproded by article author, but still seems to suffer from same issues of the sources being press releases and not being able to turn up independent reliable source coverage to establish notability.

The result was delete. In many ways, this is a model AFD, with the participants giving a thoughtful consideration of the merits of the topic and the article. In answer to 208.81.184.4, IPs get to participate and "vote" (except that we are not really supposed to be voting in AFDs at all), and thoughtful comments such as what you provided are always considered.
After considering the opinions here, the situation is that the subject may be notable, but that the article currently relies far too much on quotations from religious text, and with a lack of sources based on independent commentary. In general, we do not delete articles on notable subjects just because the article is in poor condition, as these types of problems may be fixed through routine editing. However, the issue of lack of independent sourcing that Descartes1979 brought up, and the concerns over original research that Good Ol'factory had are issues that an article can be deleted over. Peterkingiron and 208.81.184.4 think there is potential for an article, but have agreed that the article as it stands now has issues. DavidLeighEllis argued that the subject is notable, but did not address the issues with the article as it stands now.
In total, I believe that while there is no general agreement on whether the topic is suitable, we do have a rough consensus that the current article should not stay, and I am therefore calling this with a "delete" outcome. This should not be viewed as a prohibition on an new article on the topic that addresses the issues that were brought up here. If someone wants access to the deleted content, feel free to contact me or any other administrator. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:44, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is an incredibly obscure topic in Mormon doctrine, about the interplay between faith, works, and grace etc. There is no independent research/commentary on the topic of any substance, so the article is doomed to always be heavily POV. The result is this article has been for the last several years mostly ignored by non-Mormon editors, and has turned into something that resembles a sunday school lesson in the Mormon church. I propose we delete this page altogether, and add a couple of sentences (all that is needed) to Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to summarize the concepts. (This is actually already covered somewhat in that other article). Descartes1979 (talk) 05:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I agree that this article is problematic; I think it's composed of a lot of original research. Ultimately, I think conceptually it is probably mostly redundant to Exaltation (Mormonism), which is the name given to the status that one attains upon achieving perfection. I would merge any content to that article that is not already there. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:27, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- This is a poorly presented article, sicne it consists mostly of quotes. I am not a LDS, and find the content difficult to judge. I doubt there are any non-LDS experts in LDS theology. It sounds to me like a topic on which we ought to have an article. Do we not have some LDS-WPans, which would be capable of turning this into a decent article? Peterkingiron (talk) 10:40, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There are a number of experts in LDS theology and history who are not LDS. Jan Shipps comes to mind—though she specialises in history, she also knows more about the details of theology than many members of the LDS faith. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment -- I know that IP's don't get a !vote on deletions, but "perfection" is a far more common topic in discourses by General Authorities of the LDS Church, as well as in core LDS literature in the last 100 years, than say Kolob (which we have a very extensive article for). In fact it is one of the principle elements of the "Three-Fold Mission of the Church" (essentially the church's modern mission statement), which is "to proclaim the gospel, to perfect the Saints [i.e. the members of the church], and to redeem the dead." That being said, this is a terrible article in it's current state. Also, given that there are distinct parallels to doctrines of some denominations in mainstream Christianity, this topic is not frequently fought over by apologetic & polemic sources (unlike Kolob), nor is it covered much academically in Mormon studies, so there isn't that much written about it other than directly by church leaders and members themselves. It is such a broad topic that we really can't do any better job here than at Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, since "Perfection" (i.e. perfecting the Saints) covers pretty much everything LDS Church members believe & do (for religious reasons) that is not directly related to Missionary & Temple work. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:04, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable. No indication why he's notable – this could describe any journalist/writer who's been in journalism for a while.

- Delete The article has an impressive-looking list of references. However, these "references " mainly excel in obfuscation: all that is given is the name of the source, not the title, not the author, nothing else. If one actually makes the effort to go look at them, you will see, for example, that the New Statesman never wrote anythnig about Derbyshire, but just posted a list of articles that he published.

- Is this really a commonly-used term? The word "sleeper" doesn't appear anywhere in the stem cell or cancer stem cell articles, nor in the body of the NYT Magazine article you linked. It looks like the author chose to use wordplay in order to have a catchier title. It doesn't seem likely that people would go to the Wikipedia article for "sleeper cell" solely based on that.

I found no significant coverage. Fails WP:PROF. SL93 (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly object to this proposed deletion. As someone who has created several pages and introduced many students to Wikipedia, I feel this page falls well within Wikipedia's guidelines for several reasons:
- Cawelti's work as a journalist and columnist is ongoing. He remains a contributing columnist to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. He is a public intellectual with an important regional presence.
- Brother's Blood is the definitive work to date on a significant murder case, an "infamous murder case" according to Chicago Tribune (http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2005-04-11/news/0504110183_1_crime-scene-bullets-evidence), subject of a recent television documentary/docudrama (http://wcfcourier.com/news/local/docudrama-recounts-mark-murders/article_e5c300cb-2052-564d-844d-1cf2ccd222ad.html), and developments in the case have been followed by newspapers including the LA Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2006/sep/10/news/adna-iowa10).
- Brother's Blood currently ranks #434,923 among Amazon.com sellers, which may not sound like much until you consider how many books are on Amazon.com. For example, Andrew Lih's The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia is ranked #548,102.

- Neutral to Weak Delete -- the evidence is mixed. Brother's Blood does not come close to the standard of notability; held in only 43 libraries, nearly all of which are public libraries in Iowa. The significance of the murder does not convey notability on the book. (And ranking 400,000 on Amazon is still far along the long tail; it says that it has sold some copies, but not many; generally under a few hundred, if my own experience editing a NN book that reached 180,000 on Amazon is an indication). On the other hand, The Complete Poetry of James Hearst is certainly a notable book, held in nearly 200 libraries, including all of the most important research libraries. The question is, is that enough to convey notability not on the poet (which it definitely does) but on the editor? For a translator the answer would definitely be yes. For an editor of a selected works edition, possibly. But for a recently deceased university professor, I'm not sure that editing (while a lot of work and requiring creativity) conveys that level of notability; the editor would have to be specifically singled out for praise in a review, but an (admittedly quick) search does not turn up that. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 21:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The subject apparently fails both WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR. The murder case may be notable, but that notability is conferred neither to the book nor to its author. Sławomir Biały (talk) 20:09, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to The Amityville Horror. If there was an article that listed all of the characters in the Amityville series, I'd recommend redirecting to List of The Amityville Horror characters, but no such article exists. If anyone wants to create it, I'm all for it. The Amityville narrative has a pretty wide cast of players, both supposedly real (as in the case with Ketcham) or outright false (as in the case of the umpteen film sequels), so it'd be a reasonable article to create. Whether this person actually existed or was created over a few bottles of wine is sort of a moot point. So is whether or not this is a hoax. (I say that mostly because putting emphasis on "hoax" makes this feel a little WP:POINT-y.) What we need is coverage and I just can't find enough to suggest that Ketcham is suitably notable enough outside of the Amityville case to really need his own article at this point in time.

I had previously deleted this as a speedy due to copyright violations of their website. At the time I also noticed that the page had serious, SERIOUS issues with tone. They make claims, but didn't back them up with reliable sources (WP:RS), instead telling the user to "google the band". I did a google search, but didn't find anything that actually backed up any of the claims. I recently got a post on my page saying that this article predated the current website (unknown if this text appeared on the original, older website), but the user claimed that the band took this content from the article here. (But also claimed that Wikipedia has full permissions to use the content, which sort of conflicts with the idea that this was all posted on Wikipedia first.) I honestly don't see where this passes notability guidelines, but assuming good faith I've restored this so it can be discussed at AfD. The only two claims on the article that look like they would be of any true notability is the review (which I can't locate anywhere) and the claim that their music is housed in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. If it is housed there as a main exhibit, then that would help give notability. However I cannot find any mention of the band in the museum's website and again, a search brings up absolutely nothing that I could use towards notability. The claims of selling well on MP3.com don't really mean for much, as that's not the type of charting that would count towards notability on Wikipedia. Selling well doesn't guarantee notability, it just means that coverage might be easier to find. While it's always possible that there is coverage that predates the internet, I kind of doubt that enough would exist that could show notability enough to pass WP:BAND.

They are clearly and independently using the software and are not affiliated with the corporation nor do they receive any compensation. I build websites for companies and they request Vanilla forums, when asked where they learned about it, they refer to this article. I believe this article should stay it is of benefit to everyone.

Keep, but edit:
- Notability: Google search "powered by vanilla" (with quotes) for partial link count from forums managed by Vanilla worldwide. Search "top open-source forums" or extensive independent recognition as a significant player. Did everyone do these searches before voting to delete?
- Writing: Poor, some self-promotional. Edit. Add the independent citations. "Delete and make them rewrite from scratch" is lazy policy, easy for us but destructive to Wikipedia. Prune instead of forcing people to grow a whole new tree.
- Content value: This article (history, mostly) answered longstanding questions I had about Vanilla.

Clear WP:NAD violation. Mottainai is just a word. The etymology given is kind of interesting, even if note 3 has next to nothing to do with the subject. But I could write an article an any Japanese word and discuss the etymology in the same way. That would be an even worse violation of WP:NAD, though.

possible Delete methinks... This may be an article with good intentions but misplaced aspirations. Unfortunately for Edcolins, no matter what you wanted to write about (I'm sorry, I haven't checked: your article?), the fact of the matter seems to be that the most notable aspect of what you wrote about is in fact that it's being adapted publicly as some sort of "campaign" to some extent, and most (all?) of the references seem to point to that more than anything. But this is set apart from a so-called cultural aspect as Kawaii culture in Japan, for example - an article which may be relevant here to give some context. I'm not praising the "Kawaii" article - thats an article full of fluff in need of sheering - but there's some precedence which may be useful here, though I'm not sure to which end. If it's that kind of cultural ideology you were aspiring to educate about, the references provided don't support the subject, or at least don't carry enough weight. It may be too much to call it a cultural "practice", giving undue weight to the subject; should there also be an article for "Gambatte!" or "Yasashii" or any other of the multitudinous polite auto-responses which Japanese people have for any given situation?? Regardless, even as a "campaign" I'm sorry but I also don't yet see notability; one person co-opting a common Japanese word does-not-a-campaign-make, and in that case the article may seem built to support/further the cause, which I'm sure violates any number of wiki guidelines. I haven't thoroughly gone over every last detail but this is my opinion based on initial review. Japanglish (talk) 16:41, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your opinion. First, this is not my article and no article is mine (WP:OWN). I only came here to improve the article, because I believe the topic is notable as a concept, not just as a word. Secondly, please look at the references provided in the article (see for example: (NPR, 2013), (Los Tiempos, 2009), (The Japan Times, 2013), (MacQuillan, 1998), (Sasaki, 2005), (Saint Paul Pioneer Press, 2005), (Look Japan, 2002), (Iwatsuki, 2008)). The topic is not only notable because Wangari Maathai used the concept in a "campaign", as you seem to suggest, but the fact that she used it certainly does not make the concept less notable. The concept has received significant coverage in reliable sources and therefore meets Wikipedia:Notability. Thirdly, you think that "It may be too much to call it a cultural "practice"". Well, that's your opinion. The Spanish-language reference (Los Tiempos, 2009) explicitly uses that term "práctica cultural" (English: cultural practice). Fourthly, you are sure that "the article (...) violates any number of wiki guidelines". Could you be more specific? --Edcolins (talk) 15:09, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The article is more than just a simple definition. Passes all requirements to be a Wikipedia article. A lot of work has been done on the article since it was nominated. [24] Any problems you have can be solved through proper editing procedures. There is a lot of coverage of this word appearing in a Highbeam search[25].

Completing nomination on behalf of an IP editor 71.167.9.50, who offered no rationale. On the merits, I see an article about a band that offers only its facebook pages and website as links, no references, and promotional language throughout. My searches show no obvious notability. Usual Caveats may apply, of course, as an article may be appropriate when the band hits the charts, but there is no evidence provided or available that shows this to have happened.

The LastPass article does not appear to be under threat. This article deserves the chance to be as well-supported by references and must be given the time for them to be found.

- Keep - This is an article about a piece of software. Maybe in a perfect world an encyclopedia isn't the best place for a piece of software, or if a piece of software is so significant that it deserves any entry it should be a simple description without making any interesting claims about the software. But Wikipedia isn't really just an encyclopedia, because this isn't a perfect world and there isn't an equally popular Wiki that can get you the kind of information you want about products. If you see something that isn't true, delete it, but the idea that an article about a piece of software needs to be as well cited as an article appropriate for a normal encyclopedia.

I just linked to Keepass from another article on wikipedia called TAN which is a onetime password key generator that Keypass supports. By linking to to Keypass it makes the technologies accessible and practical to implement because it is free. The nominator for deletion fails to recognize the black and white logarithm that the nomination is working under.

The result was delete. I have noticed that several have argued for merging the article to English words without vowels. I am declining to do this for the objective reason that some others provided: namely that the words on the list contain the letter "Y" being used as a vowel, and therefore cannot belong on a list of words without vowels.

As Cruxdestruct wrote in a proposal for deletion, the inclusion criteria for the list of words appear arbitrary. The article does explain that "y" and (especially in Welsh loanwords) "w" can represent vowel sounds, but that information is also in Vowel#Written_vowels and the list of words isn't necessary to illustrate the point. This strikes me as trivia rather than an encyclopedic topic. —rybec 03:12, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is essentially a "list of words whose only vowel letter is <y>, plus a list of random loanwords from Welsh", and hence a breach of WP:INDISCRIMINATE, no matter whether it's in a standalone article or in the parent article. Words spelled only with <y> are no more special and no more noteworthy than words spelled only with <e> or only with <u>; the whole premise of this page, that <y> is special in this role because it's "not really a vowel", is an absurd amateurish misunderstanding made by people who can't tell apart the logical levels of orthography and phonology. The whole perspective of both pages is simply wrong. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect. I've merged 3 "non-y" words to the injections list at English words without vowels. I generally agree with Fut.Perf. - my only remaining concern is whether any of the prose in the current lede, might be worth preserving elsewhere?

- Delete and redirect to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque Let's see, Iowa joined the union on December 28, 1846; and this church was allegedly founded in 1857. The article claims they have 2000 families, which assuming 3.5 members per family, that would be 7000 members. Sounds like the makings for a wp:notable church. But this article has zero references, so for starters it fails WP:V. Then there is WP:NOT. This article does not present the church as being an organization that has attracted the attention of the world at large, rather the article is a work of outreach, which Wikipedia calls WP:Promotion or spam. In this article we learn that the church will have (future tense) a Valentine's dance in February 2007, which runs afoul of both WP:IINFO and WP:CRYSTAL. Then there is unsourced information about a living person, which is a WP:BLP problem. I suggest adding a brief section to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dubuque that focuses on history, and in doing so, only add information found in reliable sources, then use inline citations to reference those reliable sources. I see nothing worth saving in the current article. Unscintillating (talk) 04:17, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable person. Can't find a single reliable source for her other than that she is in the Air Force which doesn't mean she can have an article [27].

- HK-UK unification is not the goal of the July 1 marches, unlike what the article implies. But the waving of colonial era HK flags in protests is very common and not just on July 1st, usually to protest against central government interference in Hong Kong or against the CCP or China in general (i.e. anti-China not pro-Britain). There are articles about this from many sources, e.g. http://asiancorrespondent.com/96293/disgruntled-hong-kong-embraces-union-jack-as-symbol-of-freedom/ , http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1074458/hong-kong-chief-executive-urges-people-not-wave-colonial-flag?page=all , so perhaps this issue deserves an article? 114.252.69.114 (talk) 18:29, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Self-promotion by User:אלכס סלסקי (which is Hebrew for Alex Selsky). The person described lacks notability, as the person served as an ordinary media-advisor, while the recently established "World Forum of Russian Jewry" lacks clear notability itself (one of quite numerous number of such organizations), and the notability of its administrative staff is far from sufficient. The article has been deleted for the lack of notability in Hebrew Wikipedia, and moved for deletion in Russian Wikipedia. Prokurator11 (talk) 05:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Prokurator. it's extremely sad to see that an Israeli, apperantely born in FSU, is the one who argues to arase the page of a one, who devoted all his career to contribute to absorption of Jewish repatriants from former Soviet Union. The World Forum of Russian Speaking Jewry was established to help the russian speaking Jews worldwide and to accomarate the memory of the Holocoust, and you are the one to say that this is not important to be noted. As for self PR - all my life I worked to promote the Jewish State and the Russian speaking Israelis. Never paid or lied. So I don't see that I did something not ethical to write a small note about my activity. Shabat shalom, dear friend.

The first item claims to be AllHipHop.com but actually goes to a blog where I can only find some video from an L. Burner. The rest are not reliable sources except for possibly Delaware Black which has news but also appears to be a site for promoting black Delaware businesses. And the link is dead so we cannot evaluate it. My own search found this article which calls him an "upcoming indie artist". An article is not justified at this time.

- Keep - As shown by Soman, significant coverage exists when searching through Google Books. This alone shows that significant coverage exists in reliable sources to establish notability and that the article can be developed, and uses only the English language name for searches for an oprganisation in a country where the primary language is Chinese. That the current state of the article contains no sources simply means it is one of many imperfect articles which requires work to improve it. The solution to an unsourced article on a notable topic is to have references added. We cannot collaboratively edit an article to improve it when it is deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 13:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - did the nominator abide by WP:BEFORE, which is policy. While the article does not demonstrate notability, we judge the topic and not the article. As it is, apparently this guy was the mayor of a city that now has a population of 200k, and usually with cities that large, in the US, multiple runs for mayor during the internet age, means there is likely the sources out there to satisfy the GNG. All you have to do is look, and have to means mandatory. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In reply: I actually did look and found only trivial local coverage. Did you find anything to satisfy GNG? --MelanieN (talk) 19:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Using the link above for Google News shows 10 pages of coverage, and only looking at the first page shows 5 articles in which his name is in the headline. I'm not sure why local matters, but the main paper in the search results is the The San Bernardino Sun, which is the main paper for the county of a the same name, which has 2 million people, and also is a major paper in Riverside County, another county with 2 million people. As in not some small-town paper. Most articles are behind paywalls, but based on the blurbs available on Gnews and the sheer volume, I'd say he passes the GNG.

- Comment WP:POLITICIAN refers to "international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office", so being a mayor of a city with 200k population is not, in itself, enough. It's up to whether he meets WP:GNG or not. Bondegezou (talk) 12:19, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prod removed by article creator. Does not meet GNG or WP:AUTHOR. Sources cited may establish existence, but they do not establish notability. Ghits bring up sources that do not meet WP:RS - user-driven book review sites, personal webpage, Amazon, YouTube, etc. MSJapan (talk) 01:57, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Yes, MSJapan's prod "no real sources for years" removed by article creator (me) after adding more sources and discussion with MSJapan. And here is the expected AfD. What a waste of time. I really don't like this kind of strong-arming to add sources. If someone sees a weak-sourced stub, and then checks in Google Books or Scholar and sees more sources - which MSJapan says to me he did - why not just add the sources oneself, at least that is why I do when I see such stubs. I'm not actually greatly interested in this author, my opinion of his pulpy 4-part Channel 4 TV drama-documentary series Gnostics (TV series) and book is much the same as Roger Lewis in the Daily Express review of the Aleister Crowley biography. But in this area - esoterics - we expect pulpy esoteric "scholarship" it's what the punters want. In any case he meets WP:AUTHOR, even if for being a pulpy populist scholar. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - because to me, one-line citations in other publications are not significant coverage, and those citations you have added are still incomplete ("Journal of RTesearch into Freemasonry and..." what?). You're not looking at the content of the sources, but existence - you're actually just pulling them direct from Google's citations (hence the [CITATION] tags at the front of your newest additions, and the piece of the quote that mentions Churton's name). That is not an indication of significance at all; there could be thirty other names in that paragraph on the same topic, especially if it is the research review portion of the paper, and it is therefore not supportive of notability criteria. MSJapan (talk) 02:39, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
