@Smartyllama: The user in question made lots of sub-stubs for many subjects. I would actually argue that many of them were notable, but it was usually left to others to make it appear that way. The user made lots of bad ones, as seen by the 250 notifications on their talk page since 2015. Since the user in question created pages indiscriminately and left a mess behind, we hopefully we are only questioning those that are borderline (such as this example) to obscenely bad (usually via prod).

Biography of a singer, has serious issues with promotional tone. Sourcing effectively to a single article in indiatoday (a duplicate article in the dailymail india also exists.

There is a list of links to YouTube, Facebook, Soundcloud, iTunes and Gaana which offer no biographical information whatsoever.

An attempt at WP:BEFORE yielded no usable results.

I recognize that there is a claim to notability in winning the Grand Prix at the International World Music Festival. I have added a source for that claim.

I don't see that she meets any of the criteria in Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles besides #10.

Advertorial with only the selectively specific information of a press release thus our fundamental policies apply, WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:Deletion policy; the arguments previously said are essentially It's important and or There's sourcing but the fundamental policies outweigh this entirely. Once we accept promotional articles where press releases are cited and the information is trivial, it's not satisfying the criteria of an encyclopedia article and the last 2 deletions say this equally well. Source 10 is especially a questionable one as to what "Coolest" actually signifies. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 19:38, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Part of a 2015 CU-confirmed sockfarm and this is so highly obvious of it, it could easily qualify as G11 and there's nothing suggesting the massive overhaul it would need. Once we start becoming lenient on advertisements, it would send the welcoming sign that we tolerate, but that couldn't be further from the case. Our Terms of Use matter a lot deeper than any suggestive guidelines on the 'possibility of an article, and since the violations here were clearly made to show exactly that, there's no questions about what happened.

Biography of a person notable only as the first transgender candidate to run for, but not win, city council in one specific city. This is not a notability claim that passes WP:NPOL -- a person needs to win election and thereby hold office, not just run and lose, to claim notability as a politician, and being the first member of an underrepresented minority group to run and not win does not constitute a free notability boost over everybody else who ran and didn't win either -- but the article is not referenced anywhere near well enough to get over WP:GNG in lieu: the citations here are exclusively to local media in her own city, not to any evidence of nationalized coverage, and the number of sources here simply falls within what could be routinely expected to exist for anybody running in a city council election. There's also a likely conflict of interest here, if you compare the creator's username to the name of the subject's son who wrote a theatrical play about her. There's simply not enough substance, or enough sourcing, here to deem her notable just for running for city council and losing. Bearcat (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep She passes GNG. There is no policy against local coverage and she has had plenty over time. The coverage on McGuire is hardly routine. Whether we like it or not, an openly transgender person running for office or being prominent in Texas was noteworthy and she was therefore covered. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:56, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There's no policy that local coverage is always deprecated in principle, in the sense that if a person passes a subject-specific inclusion guideline then we don't care how local or non-local the sourcing is. But there is a rule that if a person doesn't pass any subject-specific inclusion test, and instead you're going for "notable per WP:GNG just because media coverage exists", then purely local coverage isn't enough to get there unless perhaps you can show a lot more of it than this. If this volume of purely local coverage were enough to pass GNG, we would have to keep an article about every single person who ever ran and lost in every city council election in every city on earth, because such people are always the subject of every bit as much WP:ROUTINE local coverage as has actually been shown here. For that matter, if this volume of purely local coverage were enough to pass GNG, we would have to keep an article about my parents' neighbour who once got into the papers for finding a pig in her yard. Bearcat (talk) 23:35, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I’m the author of the article and Kathryn’s son so I hope I can clarify a few issues.

As for conflict of interest, the reason stated by Wikipedia for not writing about family members is that this could create a biased article. I agree with this. Wikipedia has extensive articles about autobiographies, but I only found suggestions about writing for family members, friends and foes. So I found an outside source, a blog called, “A Gender Variance of Who’s Who” https://zagria.blogspot.ae/2012/02/#.WdzPQYXTQqa and simply re-worded the person’s, Zagria’s, article about my father from this source. Indeed, this is where I got the idea to do a Wikipedia article in the first place. “A Gender Variance of Who’s Who” is in creative commons and its author allows the public to cut and paste portions of the work. Would it be simply easier to use the article from this blog?

When Kathryn McGuire ran for public office as an open transvestite, the coverage wasn’t “standard” at all. Kathryn was already a prominent socialite and this garnered national coverage. Kathryn was featured in at least two national television shows, A Current Affair and Inside Edition. National tabloids also featured Kathryn in the election and not the other candidates. I have hard copies of these, but I can’t find access to them on the web. Remember, this was a time before the Internet. I do think (maybe it’s my bias) that the person of any minority group who was the first to run is significant. Are you seriously telling me that you wouldn’t want to know who the first African American to run for political office was? Thank you everyone for posting! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesdirect (talkcontribs) 15:40, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, we might very well want to know who the first African American (or the first woman, or the first LGBT person) to run for political office in overall US history was, if and only if they'd been the subject of enough reliable source coverage to pass GNG for the fact (a condition which is necessary because we have gotten tripped up in the past by single-sourced claims of firstness that turned out to be wrong once somebody dug harder than the original source had done). But there's no reason why we would want or need to maintain thousands of individual articles about every individual person who was merely the first African American person (or the first woman, or the first LGBT person) to run for but not win a city council seat in their own particular city. And Wikipedia does not have a requirement that our sources be web-accessible — as long as the citations are present in the article and not just claimed to exist without being shown, we are allowed to cite print-only sources, such as books or archived newspaper coverage. But what we're not allowed to do is to confer notability because of tabloid coverage — A Current Affair and Inside Edition were tabloid shows, not reliable or notability-assisting news programs.

A clear company advertisement with policy WP:PROMO concerns including promotionalism being removed, only to be immediately added, which is policy-based deletion alone; article has clear company-advertising information including similar mirrors by their own website; notability cannot be inherited from others, certainly not casual partners or clients. When 1 account heavily focuses on an article especially when it's business content, we can obviously say the company is responsible since that's the field of public relations and what it serves.

I refute that the article contains little encyclopaedic content; it seems to me well-written, and a compact description of the subject. It may not contain as many references as it could, but the notability guidelines clearly state that the number of links/references in itself does not determine whether a subject is "notable": it is the subject itself, rather than the quality of the article on it, that determines notability. As such, I would consider the Turnpike suite a worthy subject for inclusion in Wikipedia; the fact that it is no longer being developed or supported (by its manufacturers; it is still well supported by users) could equally be applied to Outlook Express.

Disambiguation, redirection, or merging do not seem appropriate in this case. G6JPG (talk) 01:16, 9 October 2017 (UTC) 2017-10-8[reply]

  • Comment Article lists two reviews in published magazines (both based in UK). However, I was not able to find coverage in other magazines outside the UK. Hard to judge, there are some RS, but not available online, so one can´t use them to improve the article. Pavlor (talk) 05:40, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is likely to have been little, if any, media coverage outside the UK, since the product was not I think ever marketed outside the UK. That it was purely a UK phenomenon does not, presumably, of itself make it non-notable. I imagine that most of the UK magazines of the mid to late 1990s would have reviewed the product, but most of them don't have online archives and so their contents are not readily available. JH (talk page) 07:18, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think Turnpike was clearly notable. It was bought and promoted in about 1996 or 1997 by Demon when that company was - for a brief period - the largest ISP in the UK, so that Turnpike was probably used in the late 1990s by more UK Internet users than any other software. I don't have a source to back up putting that in the article, but "I was there" so to speak. The article could certainly do with improvement, but finding references from computer magazines over 20 years old and in many cases now defunct won't be easy. Added later: I've now managed to unearth some stuff to beef up the article a little and give it more by way of references. See what you think. JH (talk page) 07:18, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Wikipedia article notes:

    Amongst its early reviews were those in the magaizines Everyday Practical Electronics in November, 1995 and PC Format in Spring 1997.[1][2] The Easy Net book by Keith Teare, published at the end of 1995, contained a brief review of version 1.03 of Turnpike, which had been released in July of that year.[3]

Notable subject, but such a bad article that "blow it up" comes rapidly to mind. Anmccaff (talk) 17:07, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To this group:

I am a copywritten, professional, visual artist and writer, who happens to be the Granddaughter of Herbert Cohen.

I did not realize that a family member could not update a section with historically accurate information. (I had been told by others that I could do so, and had not researched this beforehand).

I have been putting together a biography of my Grandfather, and everything posted is fully documented on government sites and in newspapers. There is a deep and large archive covering my Grandfather's political and legal career in the York County Heritage and Trust Museum.

Further, there is no reason for a link to "For Sir Herbert Benjamin Cohen, 2nd baronet, see Cohen baronets," to be at the top of this section. That has nothing at all to do with my Grandfather. There is no historical connection at all.

Additionally, in the reference section, there is a link to "Noted York Family...," an article in the York Daily Record that includes misstatements of fact, (as well as historical omission). For example, "Noted York Family..." states that Herbert Cohen's son, Donn I. Cohen, attended U. of Penn Law School. That is incorrect. Donn Cohen attended Harvard Law School, and of course that is documented at Harvard.

Lastly, my work is original and my art and writing, as stated, have been copywritten in the U.S. Library of Congress on a number occasions.

If I can provide the historical documentation of my Grandfather's career to another Wikipedia contributor, so that this section can be updated, accurately, by that person, (not myself,) I would appreciate it.

Very best regards,

Jane Rubin

WP:What Wikipedia is not and WP:Paid (legal policy) apply, since the history shows clear signs of undisclosed paid contributing and any potential signs is cause for deletion alone; current sources are all still only company announcements, mentions, quotes, interviews, etc. An article could easily be improvable but not when the mere foundation is consisting of promotionalism, something that is contrary to an encyclopedia. Also, instances like this show promotionalism has been removed but to no serious help to the article. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 15:50, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I had boldly redirected to the parent group,COMSATS Institute of Information Technology but that's been contested, so bringing it here. Nothing notable enough for its own article. Currently it's simply a directory listing that would be excluded by WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Redirecting to the parent organization would be the best step at this time.

  • Delete (or redirect per Eggishorn would also be acceptable, though I'm more inclined to just delete.) Being a spokesperson for a political party can be enough for inclusion if the person is reliably sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG, but it's not an automatic WP:NPOL pass in and of itself — and the sources here aren't cutting it per GNG, either, as out of the five sources I can actually see none are substantive: three are just blurbs, and the other two are Q&A interviews in which he's the interviewee and not the subject. None of those are notability-assisting sources, so I don't have high hopes that the two deadlinks I can't see are any better. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Union, Progress and Democracy (with the history preserved under the redirect) in lieu of deletion per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Retaining the history is useful to facilitate a very selective merge or to allow easy undoing of the redirect if new sources surface.

  • Comment He's certainly not notable based on his career as a lawyer. I don't know what the guidelines are for notability of members of boards of directors; [10] and [11] suggest he might be notable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:19, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'll try to dig up some sources to better justify this, but Neal is an extremely high-profile attorney, as CEO of Cooley and as a prominent and successful white-collar crime litigator. He first came to my attention probably some twenty years ago in coverage of his successful appellate work for Charles Keating Jr.. Again, I'll update this later with some sources if I can find them, but I wanted to put a heads-up in here now.
I definitely agree with the nom on one point, though: those "superlawyers" mentions are always bullshit. The NLJ "top 100," though, is probably significant. TJRC (talk) 00:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tentative delete - Being the lead attorney on a couple of possibly notable cases doesn’t make you notable. Being included in these top X lists also doesn’t make you notable (especially Super Lawyers where the criteria is “top 5 percent” statewide). I don’t think being on the board of a couple companies makes you notable either, large companies have large boards with an array of competent but not always notable (in the WP sense) people, and being a single member of a board doesn’t mean you did anything notable on it. He’s not CEO of Cooley (see above). However, others here have claimed there’s more sources that would establish his notability otherwise, and if those are produced, I would change my vote to keep.

  • Comment (I've already !voted, above). Lexis-Nexis has a substantial story on him at [12]. On the "CEO" claim; that should be corrected in the article, and I'll do that (I've not previously edited it). He's Chairman, not CEO, per the Cooley site, but Chairman is at least as prominent a position as CEO. TJRC (talk) 22:28, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
update: It appears he was CEO at the time that text was added. He became CEO in 2001 (and chairman at the same time? unclear) but stepped down from CEO position while remaining chairman, a position he still holds, in 2008. I've updated it accordingly, with references.
If the article is retained, it needs a bit of cleanup. I'm not sure I want to put that work into it if it's on the way to deletion, though. I may make additional edits relating to notability and accuracy, but no real clean-up for now. TJRC (talk) 23:27, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Another comment. Apologies if I'm talking too much here. Trying to nail down Neal's starting time as Cooley chairman, I was surprised to find that he's not merely a board member at Levi Strauss as the article had said; he's actually chairman of the board. I'm not always convinced that mere board membership conveys notability, but I think chairman of the board of a prominent company like Levi Strauss a pretty big deal (although, devil's advocate, Levi Strauss is a non-public company). In addition, he's chairman of the board of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and chairman of the board of trustees for the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I'd only heard of him as an attorney, so these were aspects I had been unaware of. I've updated the article with this. I think these points make him pretty clearly notable.

  • Keep - Apparently I A3d this several months ago, so it was on my watchlist. But I'm seeing:
  • An extensive interview in TIME
  • Pretty decent coverage here, which appears to be a fashion site of some sort
  • At least honorable mention in WaPo, and HuffPo
  • Admittedly brief mention in Ebony, but specifically calling her "one of the top black models in the nation"
  • Probably more than a dozen passing mentions with folks rattling off names of people who were important for some particular reason
Specifically the Ebony and Fashion bomb pieces (and finding things like this) make me expect there is likely to be substantial 60s and 70s era print coverage not available online. Overall, there's probably enough available for someone knowledgeable about fashion to write at least a decent few-paragraphs-long article. GMGtalk 13:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of this article is composed of Dictionary definitions - and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I recommend the majority of the definitions which are valid and referenced are ported to Wikictionary, those which are clearly taken from the urban dictionary can be discarded. Aspects of the article talk about the law of profanity, censorship cases and a sex pistols album. These sections could be merged with the relevant main articles. I suggest the page is maintained as a redirect to either Profanity or testicles, or maintained as a disambiguation page. Dysklyver 12:25, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Um ok, but do we really need an article listing every way to use 'Bollocks' in a sentence? I realize we have articles on Fuck, Shit, Bullshit, Cunt, Twat, Dick, Faggot, Bitch, Bugger, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tranny, Prick, Bong, White nigger, Gook, Chink, Nigger, Sheep shagger, Wetback, Asshole etc, but there is no precedent here and most of these articles are little more than popular dictionary definitions borrowing material from all mentions of the word, I could literally write a article on any word with reasonable usage and it would be as good, so I suppose the question really is, why is WP:DICTDEF a policy?. Dysklyver 12:45, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. We could probably manage with a redirect of Bollocks to Testicle, with a hatnote at the latter stating that Bollocks redirects here, with a link to nonsense as the other usage. I'm not convinced an etymology, definitions of every term that includes the work 'Bollocks', and tangential stuff about the Sex Pistols album makes an encyclopedia article - it's wiktionary material and stuff that's covered elsewhere. It's all bollocks, but it is encyclopedic? --Michig (talk) 14:23, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Much of the article is rubbish (I was going to use the article title but an edit filter stopped me), being a collection of examples of the use of this word rather than any encyclopedic description. There might be some useful content in this paper, and I found this letter (the link only seems to work if you come from Google Scholar, for example here) interesting, but useless for our purposes. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 12:35, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I presume that IP's using the 'bollocks' word is prohibited by an anti-vandal measure (I note your comments on the talk page). My point really is that the main 'topic' which the word is used to describe is Testicle, and any other usage / lists of usage is running into being a dictionary definition. the encyclopaedic topic of profanity (usage of any word, including this word, in a derogatory sense) is covered at Profanity. so really I can't see anything that can be made out of this as a standalone article. Dysklyver 13:30, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that (your first sentence) seems to be the case. I'm perfectly happy to forgo the privilege of using "naughty words", even if they are perfectly justified by the context. I would say that this word, at least here in Britain, is far more often used to mean "nonsense" than "testicles", even though the latter is the original meaning, so I don't think that testicle would be a good redirect target. And the use of this word to mean "nonsense", again here in the UK, is pretty routine, and only very mildly profane: nothing like as bad as most of the other taboo words that you list above. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:12, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep WP:DICTDEF is a policy, and it should be followed. Hence my !vote. The nom also asked why is WP:DICTDEF a policy, but that's irrelevant to this discussion. I do see a clear justification for not splitting this article up into individual elements, as has been suggested. The article is relatively well structured, setting the scene for the origins and use of this word, both its negative and positive applications and connotations and, significantly, some quite important social and legal contexts in which that word has huge relevance. e.g. the Sex Pistols prosecution and acquittal for obscenity over Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. To refer a reader from that article to a page primarily on the biology of the testicle would not be helpful, I feel. WP:DICTDEF includes the policy WP:WORDISSUBJECT, stating: "In some cases, a word or phrase itself may be an encyclopedic subject. In these cases, the word or phrase in and of itself passes Wikipedia's notability criteria as the subject of verifiable coverage by reliable sources... ...such articles must go beyond what would be found in a dictionary...and include information on the social or historical significance of the term." This article does do that. The article also serves as a "lens" through which other topics are seen (see also Art Bollocks), and here again, this meets WP:WORDISSUBJECT. Mention of other articles in this nomination, whether in existence or not yet created are all WP:WAX. My one concern (though not relevant to this debate) is that the key reference to Wycliffe's 1382 bible is uncited, and this is all I can find so far, which doesn't quite tally.

I was called away. Still. Delete regarding the article:
  1. It has its own Institute: [18] You only have an Institute, when you are looking to advance something which is new, or sell something. Here is the Sweden site. [19]. San Diego [20]. These last two sites are cheap wordpress sites. Generally speaking most health sites, are high end, as they care about about the people who are reading it. I know Wordpres has 29%, but it is usually cheap sites. The Swedish one looks as though it was thrown up during lunch.
  2. Why is it not accepted by other country health system. I checked several in Europe, and it doesnt seem to be available.
  3. Gbooks has few reference. Most seem to point back to Fosha. It has been on the go for 17 years, supposedely.
  4. Most online refs seem to point to Fosha or the Institute. Most CiteSeer, Researchgate etc, refs are linked to Fosha.
  5. No large American or European unversity seems to have any articles on it, which means its outside the meanstream.
  6. Although it is well referenced most of the ref don't have a support structure behind them, and seemed to wrap established psychotherapy procedures into AEDP. Out of the 56 refs, 11 of them are Fosha. Within the article there are many words which are not defined in the Oxford English dictionary. There is a possible reason for that, though, snake oil salesman.
Generally speaking, when you look at health, which is even true in the NHS in Scotland, whether it relates to a surgical procedure, drug or some new technique, it tends to be presented in a manner of the highest quality, is spoken about by everybody, peer reviewed all over the shop, and everybody is absolutely sure it is the best, and everybody is sure that is the way to go. You know it is genuine, or it is as possible to get. Here you see almost the opposite. It is not presented properly, there doesn’t seems to be contradictory views, there is only a few people talking about it, and it looks as almost as it is being sold, re: training on Swedish site, and there is not huge coverage, by anybody. It doesn't have that ring of authenticity. Look the cryo microscopy guys for a converse argument. Admittedly, they are nobel prize winners, and its a physical technique, and may not translate but look at the GBook hits. Large coverage all over the world.

Comment Sorry, I don't what it is called, or who wrote it. There was a program on Radio 4 about it, here in the UK, sometime before the summer. I remember listening to do, how it came about, how it hadn't changed in decades, until quite recently when it was rapidly updated. It seems to list accepted fundamental therapies, similar to, e.g. Greys for anatomy, a standard. I remember now, they talking about the treatment for Schizophrenia I think, how it changed recently, and how the book needed to be updated. Computing were involved in it somehow. Only reason I remember. scope_creep (talk) 21:34, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Diana Fosha, per rationale given by User:Mark viking above, until the article can be rewritten to better follow Wikipedia guidelines (especially without the WP:POV and WP:SYNTH mentioned above). Like any of the many other "brand-name psychotherapies" (see, e.g., Stuart, J.; Levy, Raymond A.; Katzenstein, Tai (Summer 2006), "Beyond brand names of psychotherapy: identifying empirically supported change processes", Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training, 43 (2): 216–231, doi:10.1037/0033-3204.43.2.216), the subject itself is a POV; it can be challenging to adhere to WP:NPOV when writing about the psychotherapies, but it can be done. The easiest way to adhere to WP:NPOV when writing about the psychotherapies is to include ample explanation, either in a separate "Criticism" section or interspersed within existing sections, of how practitioners and researchers of other forms of psychotherapy view this particular form of psychotherapy—what they consider to be its strengths and weaknesses, theoretical and empirical (this strategy of mutual criticism of psychotherapies is employed, e.g., in the classic textbook: Prochaska, James O.; Norcross, John C. (2014) [1979], Systems of psychotherapy: a transtheoretical analysis (8th ed.), Australia; Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning, ISBN 9781133314516, OCLC 851089001); if such perspectives are not available in published form, then that is a good indicator that it is too soon for an article on this subject, because without including such external perspectives it is not possible to present a sufficiently neutral POV on the subject (that is also not WP:OR). I think it could be shown (as has already been suggested by others above) that the subject of this article is as notable as many of the other psychotherapies in our list of psychotherapies. Perhaps in the future we will not have so many different psychotherapies (see, e.g., Boswell, James F.; Sharpless, Brian A.; Greenberg, Leslie S.; Heatherington, Laurie; Huppert, Jonathan D.; Barber, Jacques P.; Goldfried, Marvin R.; Castonguay, Louis G. (2014) [2011], "Schools of psychotherapy and the beginnings of a scientific approach", in Barlow, David H (ed.), The Oxford handbook of clinical psychology, Oxford library of psychology (Updated ed.), New York: Oxford University Press, pp. 98–127, ISBN 9780199328710, OCLC 874118501), but we are not there yet.

  • Redirect to the author of the method, Diana Fosha; not independently notable. The article states:
  • AEDP was developed by Diana Fosha in her 2000 book The Transforming Power of Affect: A Model for Accelerated Change,[1] and expanded on in later publications.[2]

The approach's conception and development is all traced to Fosha, so two separate articles are not required. In the current form, the article is WP:ADVOCACY and is not suitable for inclusion. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:59, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I disagree with User:K.e.coffman's claim that the subject is not notable (although obviously I agree that a redirect is appropriate), and I would like to see more justification from User:K.e.coffman for this claim. Not even the nominator claimed that notability was a problem—the nominator's cited rationale for AFD was style and POV, not notability. A search for "AEDP" experiential therapy in Google Books, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, and other databases seems to me to return enough sources to meet notability guidelines. Particularly in Google Books and Google Scholar there are plenty of secondary sources. Also, how could Diana Fosha be notable if AEDP were not notable, when AEDP is precisely what Fosha is notable for? There are reasons to redirect, but lack of notability does not seem to be one of them. Biogeographist (talk) 21:18, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reply: It really doesn't; we meant exactly what we asserted. The WHL declining to name a single All-Star Team (and I can't possibly imagine how awards presented only within a single conference aren't conference awards) doesn't mean our standards automatically lower to suit; it means that Criterion #3 doesn't apply to the WHL, and that WHL players must stand or fall on other criteria or upon the GNG. Ravenswing 17:00, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
One of us is mistaken and it will have to be the closer who decides. The WHL's naming of All-Stars works exactly the same way as the NHL and we don't say that, for example, Wayne Gretzky only received a Campbell Conference award in 1989. No, he was a NHL All Star that year. The same applies here. The Western Conference of the WHL only exists as a scheduling convenience and has no actual organization that can hand out awards. The WHL All Stars are not presented by the conferences at all, much less within a single conference. There is a link above from the WHL showing this. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:03, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Errr ... if that's your example, you're entirely offbase. Gretzky was, indeed, a league All-Star in 1989, but certainly not by virtue of playing in the annual All-Star Game, something a few dozen players do every year in any league that holds them. He was, instead, named to the league's second All-Star Team, a completely different honor. That being said, how the NHL makes such awards is entirely irrelevant, since NHL awards form no part of Criterion #3. #3's direct intent is to accord presumptive notability to the top six position players in the named league's in any given year. Slade, who was not even the best goaltender in the WHL in his year (Justin Pogge won that honor), was not one. Ravenswing 20:34, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also kind of troubling that the nominator didn't see out the first seven days of the nom and had a self-block of their account applied halfway through, thus I feel like this should be considered an abandoned nomination.

Effectively has only primary sources, fails WP:GNG. Is tagged for PROMO but I think the whole article is promotional. Most the content is a duplicate of what is in Stuart Roy Clarke. Α Guy into Books § (Message) -  09:46, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that. Appears the account The Homes of Football created THOF as an article and also created an article Stuart Roy Clarke with almost all the same content. There may also be a sock puppet problem, as Encyclopediadia and KatoKato exist only to make additions or subtractions to the THOF and SRC articles.

Appears to fail WP:GNG. They attempted to join a couple of leagues, but ended up playing independently against other non-notable semi-pro teams. I was not able to find any non-self published game coverage. Reliable non-primary sources are significantly lacking as well as a severe lack of significant depth of coverage. 99% of media coverage (most of it local) was only about the announcement of the team, which might also run afoul of single routine announcement. Yosemiter (talk) 19:31, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a misapplication of WP:ROUTINE. Nonetheless, I'll concede that the coverage largely lacks depth, but I see at least two sources in the article that seem to satisfy under the GNG. Powers T 19:57, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@LtPowers: I did say "might" run afoul, mostly because the first line in routine is "Per Wikipedia policy, routine news coverage of such things as announcements,..." and it is certainly mostly covering the announcement of the team. But WP:routine in general is very subjective. If they had played a game against a notable team or two, I would likely never have nominated it. I added all the references I could find (it only had one dead one before I came across the page and it is still there as I could not find an archival source for it) and it does not appear to meet WP:GEOSCOPE. Which two sources specifically would you say meet GNG? Yosemiter (talk) 20:25, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That would be the Reporter and the Finger Lakes Times articles. They're thin, but sufficient IMO. Powers T 13:30, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • @WikiOriginal-9: I already saw all those (look at the edit history of the page, I actually added them when I nominated). The problem I see is that the only coverage is of the announcement that the team was formed, but never any coverage of them playing. They never launched in the AIF and they apparently played independently against semi-pro teams but got no coverage. So they only had coverage over a their announcement, so it lacks continued and diverse coverage. Yosemiter (talk) 14:17, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete looks pretty weak either way. We're not talking about an individual here but a group. It could be worthy of an entry in the league article, but it just feels like too much of a stretch for me for a stand-alone article. I don't believe it passes WP:GNG although others may interpret that it does or that it might... so instead I'll just go with ignore all rules for my reasoning simply because I think including this article does not improve Wikipedia.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:53, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree it's marginal, but I err on the other side; I think it's useful to record what information we have on a team that represented a good-sized community in a professional sports league. Powers T 01:55, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • @LtPowers: Correction: they never played in any league, professional or otherwise, so they could not have represented any community in a league. It was an independent semi-pro team (likely anyways, we have no sources for their pay) filled with former non-notable high school level players that played other non-notable semi-pro teams in a non-notable university rec center (a nice student rec center is still just a rec center) for one season before being replaced by another pro team in an actual league.

  • Delete per nom and his subsequent comments. The team never played in a proper league as far a see no claim of notability.

Fails WP:NMUSIC. A somewhat promotional article, being entirely sourced by a band website and their record label -- both primary sources -- does not help make a case of passing WP:GNG.

  • Delete. First of all, poor sourcing in an article has no bearing on notability. You need to follow WP:BEFORE to try to identify any coverage that exists. A quick Google search found these: [35], [36], [37], [38]. Personally I don't feel the coverage that exists is sufficient to justify an article, or that it demonstrates sufficient significance for inclusion. --Michig (talk) 08:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agree that the sources identified by Michig--plus those I searched for myself--are fairly run-of-the-mill, small time and insignificant. Getting press for the sake of getting press does not equal notability. The article appears to be original research by an SPA editor wishing to promote subjects for which he/she has an interest. TheGracefulSlick, you may want to consider AfD nominating the editor's other articles, which are of similar promotional bent with only small time/insignificant coverage (I'm a bit too "code writing deficient" to know how to do it myself) ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any of that here. Hut 8.5 06:50, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • So what would you like to see me come up with in addition to what's already sourced? Jclemens (talk) 07:01, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • What kind of reception has the subject got? Has there been any critical analysis of its significance, how it relates to real world news networks, or other fictional news networks? How did the makers of the show come up with it, and how did they change it over time? What kind of impact or influence has the subject had on other fictional works, popular culture, or anywhere else? Any of those would do, or any other significant encyclopedic content which isn't ultimately a summary of what happens in Babylon 5 episodes. Hut 8.5 17:44, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • If you want primary sources for what the creators intended, I can do that easily. For independent RS on that specific topic, I've ordered yet another two B5 books, which will take about another week (they're used, so not prime...) to arrive. Jclemens (talk) 02:13, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • How very discourteous to nominate for AfD before I've had a chance to improve the article, which was restored yesterday. I'm going to add some RS'es (I have plenty of hardcopy sources), but ultimately I am planning on merging this to an as-yet-to-be-created Organizations in Babylon 5 list article. Zxcvbnm knows this, as he is a current participant in two other current AfDs for Babylon 5 fictional elements, yet has chosen to conceal his knowledge and provide a less than forthright appraisal of the article: it is both notable and redirectable. Jclemens (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than going with the assumptions of bad faith, if you have coverage establishing the real world notability, now would be a good time to tell us what they are. Otherwise, you might ask for the current article to be moved out of mainspace so that you can work on it until it demonstrates notability. - SummerPhDv2.0 01:26, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No ABF here: your rapid nomination without discussing it with me was discourteous, in that it assumed I had no intention of fixing the problems in the article. If you'll review my recent contributions, I've been busy adding reliable sources to OTHER B5 articles nominated at AfD. Jclemens (talk) 01:51, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article sat for 6 years waiting for sources, then you were going to merge it or redirect it. Now, six more years have gone by and I was supposed to guess that you had plans to do all sorts of stuff? Oh, and another editor is concealing knowledge and being "less than forthright" in agreeing the article demonstrated "no apparent notability"? Let me be clear: Not to be rude but I see nothing but in-universe material. Delete, with no prejudice against the creation of other articles which might use concise summaries and serve as a target for a re-direct here. - SummerPhDv2.0 12:09, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Guess? No, you weren't supposed to guess: all you had to do is ask. Why else would an established editor challenge a PROD unless they believed they could do something about it? What motivation did you believe I had? What did you expect that I intended to do with it? Jclemens (talk) 14:44, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The cleanup request you ignored for years was the community asking you to fix it or lose it. I did not expected you to ignore the noted problems for 3 more years, have it deleted, wait three more years, then restore the article, source it, ask what the problem is, buy more books to source it, then turn it into a redirect for an as-yet uncreated page. I also didn't ask if this time you were actually going to do something with the article. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:03, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, your chronology is incorrect. I decided to merge it this weekend when I noticed it had been deleted via PROD, not six years ago. Not 24 hours had passed (estimate, someone else can do a detailed chronology if desired) between when I decided to ask for it to be restored and you AfD'ed it. Jclemens (talk) 14:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In May of 2011, it was noted: "Completely unsourced since its creation more than six years ago and extremely unlikely to be able to be sourced except to primary sources (WP:PRIMARY). All information is in-universe plot summary. Fails WP:GNG categorically." You replied that it shouldn't be deleted, but perhaps "consider redirect or merge". Then it sat for three more years, completely untouched (save for one edit by a bot toiling away in the desert). It clearly wasn't going to be cleaned up any time soon and it still looks like "cleanup" means "delete", so I proded it in January 2014. No one said anything, so it was deleted. It remained deleted, unwept, for three more years. You then asked for it to be restored with the explanation "Expired PROD, please restore." In my rush over our deadline, I failed to understand the implied ordering of texts to finally source it before merging it to an uncreated article, after twelve years. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:03, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I had entirely forgotten about the 2011 PROD, and had no access to the history of the article before I requested it be restored, so I suppose you're correct. The 2014 PROD was, of course, out of process and illegitimate: No article is eligible for PROD a second time. Jclemens (talk) 20:58, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody should be in the business of restoring unsourced, in-universe trivia with a plan to turn the article into a redirect. IDONTLIKEIT is not the rationale given. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:03, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is this a new policy I missed? Please, enlighten us. Jclemens (talk) 16:34, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't think we would need a policy to say, "Don't bring back long dead collections of unsourced in-universe trivia if your plan is to turn them into redirects anyway." It goes along with "Don't randomly renumber all of the mailboxes in the neighborhood." and "Don't shove sharpened pencils up your nose." They're all good suggestions that you would hope would be obvious. Incidentally, if your plan is to simply merge this with some other stuff, wouldn't the path of least resistance be to have the article saved as a draft, rename it "List of stuff in Babylon 5" (or whatever) and build that article? I mean, we'll lose all of this valuable back-and-forth about the discourteousness and hidden agendas and such, but you'll have time to wait for your sources to show up. - SummerPhDv2.0 19:28, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to see the value in that. Drafts used to be a safe place to store "useful someday" stuff, but G13 has eliminated that. But really: merging isn't redirecting, bringing back stuff to work on it isn't harmful, and mainspace is not limited to things currently meeting guidelines. Note that I've never accused anyone of having any hidden agendas, merely pointed out that subsequent !votes in connected AfDs should not intentionally ignore the editor's participation in connected discussions.

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions. Jclemens (talk) 22:38, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Previously, this article did not meet guidelines and was abandoned for years, leading to its deletion. Now you've brought it back and seem to want to keep it without having it meet guidelines, even if it is abandoned in that state.
Yes, abandoned drafts will be deleted under G13. If you don't want a draft to be deleted, don't abandon it. Draft space is not for "storing" stuff that might be useful someday. It is for working on articles that don't yet meet guidelines. Actually no part of Wikipedia is a junk drawer for saving bits of string, twist ties and archaic connectors that you might need some day. Wikipedia deletes abandoned drafts.
Yes, article space is limited to things that meet inclusion guidelines. That's what the guidelines are for: deciding what should and should not be in article space. To argue otherwise is absurd. Wikipedia limits article space to articles that are suitable for inclusion.
Yes, you can bring stuff back to work on it, but it doesn't go in article space until it is ready for article space. How do we know when it's ready? When it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Draft space is for working on articles that aren't ready for article space.
Yes, you did accuse an editor of "(choosing) to conceal his knowledge and provide a less than forthright appraisal". What is that editor trying to do? We don't know. Their plan is concealed -- a "hidden agenda". - SummerPhDv2.0 12:59, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, Mainspace is not solely for things that currently meet guidelines: there are plenty of things that have been tagged for notability or as unsourced for years. I don't think you're denying their existence. Yes, stuff that doesn't meet guidelines but can meet those guidelines should be worked on in mainspace: without mainspace, there are essentially no eyes on a topic. If you could, would you wipe out every article with a cleanup tag on it, and not return it to mainspace until it was perfect? Then you'd be letting the perfect be the enemy of the good--or even 'adequate'--and in the process removing much of Wikipedia's utility. The existence of draft space doesn't fundamentally change the tolerance for incomplete yet useful articles having potential in mainspace, no matter how much you might prefer that it does. If you thought the article should have gone elsewhere to be worked on, that difference of opinion could easily have been resolved with a small modicum of communication, which you chose not to exercise.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jclemens (talkcontribs) 18:02, October 5, 2017 (UTC)
Let's cut right to the chase: We are here discussing whether or not the article should be deleted. The reason put forth to delete it is that it does not meet our guidelines. Your counter-argument, it would seem, is that not meeting our guidelines is irrelevant. Article space, in your opinion then, is for articles that meet our guidelines or don't. Draft space, rather than being for preliminary articles, you feel is for storing stuff that might be useful someday. Abandoned drafts, like this one, you feel should be moved into article space to protect them from being deleted as abandoned drafts. Is that about right? I think we need to userfy the article or make it a draft with the clear understanding that yes, Wikipedia deletes abandoned drafts and no, Wikipedia is not a place for storing stuff that might be useful someday. - SummerPhDv2.0 23:55, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Does the article meet guidelines as it stands? Absolutely: multiple independent RS'es discuss it in detail. Should it have been AfD'ed just because it didn't currently meet the guidelines? That is where we differ: I say no, not unless it's demonstrated that it cannot meet guidelines. You disagree. Jclemens (talk) 04:27, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Summarizing your position: It should be merged or redirected. Wait, no: It should be an article. Wait, no: That's only until you merge it into a new article. Wait, no: It will meet guidelines as soon as my sources arrive from the antiquarian bookseller in Milan. Wait, no: don't make it a draft, that used to be storage for stuff that might be useful someday, but since they delete abandoned stuff there we should re-abandon it it article space where inclusion guidelines don't matter. Wait, no: It's WP:USEFUL.
Wait, no: Just no. I remain on the delete side, with no objection to userfy or draftify. But not as permanent storage because it might be useful someday. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:34, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a particular reason you're being so unpleasant? Of course I believe it meets guidelines, and the fact that I'm trying to answer objections I consider unreasonable and unfounded does not invalidate or compromise my position. It meets notability, and could easily be kept per guidelines. BUT, I think it's better presented in a list format, even if it is notable. If you'd bothered to actually ask me what I intended to do by asking for it back, this entire kerfuffle could have readily been avoided. As of now, it's sticking around in mainspace because you nominated at AfD; otherwise, it may well have been merged by now. Jclemens (talk) 01:40, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a particular reason your assessment of other editors {"discourteous", "conceal his knowledge", "less than forthright", "unpleasant", "unreasonable", etc.) might be relevant here?
We're here to discuss whether or not this article meets our guidelines. Yes, Wikipedia deletes abandoned drafts. No, that's not a reason to put what might be a draft into article space. Yes, there are articles that do not meet guidelines. No, that doesn't mean we should ignore guidelines to let this one in. Yes, maybe you want to merge it (or is that a redirect? or maybe those sources will arrive? or none of the above?). No, that doesn't explain why you object to making it a draft or putting it in user space. Yes, you want the decision on this article to be "keep", promising that you'll then merge it to some future article, or demonstrate notability, or redirect it, or store it in case it is useful someday. No, that doesn't make sense. If you have a notable topic for an article that you're gonna kinda maybe someday write, tucking this possible piece of that puzzle into draft or user space gives you time to do that, provided the article isn't abandoned again. - SummerPhDv2.0 04:10, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We're not here to discuss letting it in: it was in. It was temporarily removed against guidelines, but it's not like anyone is proposing a new article from scratch, merely trying to repair what had been out-of-process deleted already. You do acknowledge that WP:PROD did not apply to the article when you applied it, I presume? Jclemens (talk) 23:28, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify or userfy. I used to be opposed to userspace in general, preferring draftspace as a place where articles could be worked on before they're ready for prime time. But, there's been a whole lot of hating on draft space lately (i.e. the G13 nonsense), so maybe userspace is a safer harbor now. In any case, it sounds like this isn't ready for mainspace yet, but there's a plan to work on it, so move it someplace where it can be worked on. When/if it meets mainspace requirements, it can get moved back there (perhaps under a different title). -- RoySmith (talk) 01:17, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  Talk page is currently a red link, which proves that there was no attempt to discuss concerns about the topic before it was nominated.  As per WP:BEFORE C3, "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."  Looks like instead that only 7 hours elapsed before there was an AfD tag on the article.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:40, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite. Actually, the redlink proves the talk page was deleted with the article three years ago. The article was tagged as unsourced. That tag stayed in place for two years before it was tagged for deletion: "Completely unsourced since its creation more than six years ago and extremely unlikely to be able to be sourced except to primary sources (WP:PRIMARY). All information is in-universe plot summary. Fails WP:GNG categorically." The article's main defender, Jclemens, removed that prod, suggesting it be redirected or merged somewhere. It then sat for a few more years with zero edits, tagged as unsourced the whole time. I then tagged it as in-universe and not notable. Seeing it hadn't been touched in roughly six years, I decided to prod some editors into action, so to speak. That prod lead to a deletion. Three years after that, Jclemens had the article restored. Why? Because "Expired PROD, please restore." Summary: Before we got here, it was tagged as unsourced for six years. It then spent two weeks tagged as in-universe, not notable, waiting to be deleted because it lacked evidence of real world notability, along with the unsourced tag. Did anyone WP:BEFORE C3 "(add) a cleanup tag"? Yes. - SummerPhDv2.0 04:45, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep NPASR  And now we know that you put an AfD tag on half of this article, and that it is impossible for editors to assess this article.  It is the nominator's role to prepare the community for a deletion discussion.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:12, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for striking your !vote based on BEFORE.
I'm rather confused as to the explanation for your new !vote. NPASR discusses options if there are "few or no comments...with no one opposing deletion" and opting for "no consensus", allowing for a speedy renomination. It seems there are more than a few editors commenting (8 !votes), there is opposition and you are asking for a "keep", not a no consensus.
I do not know what you mean by saying I nominated "half of this article". - SummerPhDv2.0 16:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The "half" is a metric that considers the "Article" and "Talk" tabs at the top as a group of 2; and counts the non-red tabs within that group.  Do you agree that this AfD cannot proceed?  Unscintillating (talk) 17:37, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The list represents an indiscriminate collection of information and original research. The names appear to be random, and inclusion of some is dubious, such as: "Horst Ohrloff, German, Wehrmacht Oberleutnant, Silesian" -- is this "non-Germanic descent"? Other entries include "Germanised Slavic descent" or equally vague categorisations. Some on the list have distant non-German ancestry, such as "Hugenot descent", which seems immaterial.

One gets the impression that the entries were included because of the non-German sounding last names, such as Joachim Mrugowsky, whose ethnic background is not discussed in the linked article. At the same time, some are just foreign nationals (British, Latvian, etc), so it's unclear why "non-Germanic descent" is even relevant.

Right at the moment, this is an article which doesn't do what it says on the tin, in that it combines assorted fascists (including the British and Belgian sorts) with Nazis, despite ostensibly being only about the latter. Per nom, it should therefore be deleted. It's possible that there might be a viable list of - for example - non-Germanic Nazis with a very strict set of criteria, but I'm running on barely any sleep and can't begin to think of how that could work, so won't advocate for it at the moment. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:56, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Having seen arguments regarding how the list could be reworked, I'm generally in agreement with them. Very careful criteria will be required, though, as will be/should be sources discussing the resultant group as a group. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:57, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, meets notability and the phenomenon is present in reliable sources, especially regarding Jewish examples. As for accuracy disputes, entry removal, inline tags and discussion on talk suffices. The list should be edited, not deleted. --Zoupan 06:07, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment pretty much a keep comment - basically a list of Nazis granted German Blood Certificate papers would work better, these papers granted exemptions to Hitlers racial laws. It should be reasonably easy to check the list to make sure all the entry’s fit this criteria, and renamed this list to something more specific to suit. This is a very relevant WWII issue, which reveals some of Hitlers own hypocrisy. It ought to be rescued, if it needs cleanup - fine - but AfD is not cleanup. Dysklyver 08:27, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The list mixes foreign nationals; German nationals with Jewish descent; Germans with Polish-sounding last names; Germans with French-sounding last names; etc. It appears random and a non-encyclopedic cross-categorisation, with unclear inclusion criteria.

  • Keep. Meets WP:LISTN. Accuracy issues should be addressed in article. It is possible, for many figures, to accurately state racial descent without OR. We routinely mention the ancestry of people in bios, when available in RS, which may differ from their country of citizenship - e.g. List of Italian-American actors. Determining that a non-German ancestral group is non-German is not OR for most ancestral groups.Icewhiz (talk) 06:28, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Virtually unsourced biography of a person notable only as a non-winning minor party candidate for political office.

According to WP:CRIME: "People known only in connection with one event should generally not have an article written about them. If the event is notable, then an article usually should be written about the event instead". Well, that is complete here at 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting. The subject is not notable for anything else and all the coverage referring to him was written within the context of the incident. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:37, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is only notable as the perpetrator of the 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting, and unlikely to become notable for anything else.

  • Really Icewhiz? Anything of "continuing interest" is in the context of the attack. Every single terrorist was radicalized at one point and the news media talks about it; should they have articles too? The article on the shooting already has relevant biographical information and WP:CRIME, the very policy you cite, recommends avoiding these types of articles on the perpetrator.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:04, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not all terrorists are radicalized, some come from societies that support the action against a perceived external enemy. In this case we have a formerly seemingly peaceful member of a Western society turning against it. As can be seen in a simple google books and scholar check his online radicalization has bcome quite a topic. This is quite separate from the attack itself. His radicalization is quite possibly more notable thanthe attack itself in terms of LASTING coverage.Icewhiz (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • His radicalization is a topic of study, widely referenced, due to it being a template for future Islamist radicals. The particulars of the attack are quite distinct from the radicalization vector.Icewhiz (talk) 21:45, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just added a whole bunch of book and journal sources to the article. And no - actually most of them focus on his radicalization - leading off with the Youtube videos and other influences such as music - mentioning the attack itself only in a minor fashion. The actual shooting of US servicemen is "not interesting" - what is interesting is how a subject (in this case someone who was in Germany since he was a one year old baby) - becomes radicalized via online influences - and chooses to attack. This is why he is covered - and this is what is covered. It is quite separate from the attack - which actually in terms of LASTING coverage has less than the radicalization (though the latter does mention the former).Icewhiz (talk) 06:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those sources merely demonstrate what I have been saying: everything written about him was in the context of attack. Without the incident, he would have never been mentioned in any sources; that is WP:BLP1E. I understand you consider yourself an "inclusionist" but ignoring policies, which I believe are very easy to comprehend, should not be the solution.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 07:41, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please WP:NPA. As I said before - his radicalization is the subject of most of the coverage and study of him as a subject - not the attack. This is not BPL1E, as his radicalization and attempts to travel to Afghanistan or Iraq - are separate and distinct from his later decision to carry out an attack on German soil. Why is his radicalization covered? Since he was one of the first, survived, and there is ample evidence of the path he took - in any event this has LASTING coverage which is quite separate and distinct from the attack in which he was captured (and DIVERSE to the point that his Islamic-Jihadist music preferences - [44] have been analyzed).Icewhiz (talk) 07:56, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Describing your editing patterns and how you describe yourself on your userpage is not a personal attack, sorry to say. Not a single source seperated itself from the attack. It was always, basically, "Arid Uka, the shooter at a Frankfurt airport" was radicalized or tried to travel here or there. Every single incident such as this have these types of reports, as you should hopefully know, yet we do not write articles about the suspects/perpetrators because of these policies. Whether the source discussed his radicalization or his travel plans, the descriptor remained the same: "Arid Uka, the shooter" in one incident for which he is known for. The historical significance, as displayed in the sources, was from the attack he carried out, not his musical tastes or travel plans.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This - but ignoring policies, which I believe are very easy to comprehend is a personal attack directed at me. Most perps do not rate a separate article if they were in a single attack and have no other grounds for fame. This particular one - does - as his radicalization is a subject of quite a bit of journal and book coverage by several researchers.Icewhiz (talk) 08:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:PERPETRATOR 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 ongoing coverage Uka's self-radicalization seems to me to make him independent of his crime. See, for example, Lone wolf terrorist: The security official’s worst nightmare, Deutsche Welle, 2016 [45]; Profiles of radicals reveal numerous paths to extremism, Associated Press, [46], more similar in both German and English. Plus SIGCOV of his path to radicalization in an extraordinarily large number of books.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:23, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Revisiting, I ran a gBooks search. See, for example, this: [47] multi-page, deep dive into the process of Uka's radicalization, or this one: [48], another example of how scholars are looking at Uta as a case study, an interesting example of self-radicalization, an unusual amount of in-depth coverage for a terrorist. And there is this [49] (in final paragraph), assertion that he has been influential because his story has attracted young people to violent jihad. Of course, he is young, healthy, alive and in a few years he will be free man living in Kosovo. But the point is that is is already the topic of a scholarly conversation on Islamist self-radicalization that appears to make him a notable topic.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect/Delete/Merge to the shooting article: Textbook case of WP:CRIME: A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person. This proposition can be very easily checked. Consider the version right now. Look at the "Background" section and check the citations. Leave aside this source from "Anchor Publishing", which is a self-publishing outlet, and thus source shouldn't be in the article at all. Every single one of the sources cited in this section is in connection with the shooting. Here, I'll list out some of the headlines of the articles for you (translated if in German):

  • Merge and redirect to 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting. The story of his radicalization would be of little interest to anyone other than his closest family and friends if he had not murdered two people. Any such content belongs in the article about the murders. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:45, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. I agree with IceWhiz that it clearly meets WP:CRIMINAL. Article contains sourced bio information both pre/post attack should ideally not be merged. Subject's Islamic radicalization is of sufficient newsworthiness that coverage will follow. Furthermore, keep as per WP:PERPETRATOR 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 ongoing coverage Uka's self-radicalization seems to me to make him independent of his crime. There are several examples of this matter. See, for example, Lone wolf terrorist: The security official’s worst nightmare, Deutsche Welle, 2016 [50]; Profiles of radicals reveal numerous paths to extremism, Associated Press, [51], more similar in both German and English. Plus SIGCOV of his path to radicalization in an extraordinarily large number of books. The article also mentions that he is an early example of "lone wolf terrorism" and gives a number of sources to support this matter. Lone wolf terrorism is on the rise and is a particularly pernicious form of terrorism that security experts/forces are finding hard to combat. So the historical importance of Arid Uka is such that one would expect historians and other scholars to cite this individual. In addition, the article mentions: "The shooting was the first terror attack by a Salafist Jihadist in Germany". So again, So the historical importance of Arid Uka is such that one would expect historians and other scholars to cite this individual. Due to the growing friction between the growing numbers of right-wing nationalists in Europe and a growing population of European Muslims and the continued rise of Islamic fundamentalism, the historical importance of Arid Uka will only rise. A majority of Muslims are also resistant to assimilating into European cultures and wish to retain much of their own cultures and this is further causing a clash of cultures. Terrorism is often a form of fourth-generation warfare. The militant Islamacists vs. Western democracies conflict shows signs of accelerating judging from the increased pace of Muslim attacks in Europe. From a fourth-generation warfare military history perspective, one can argue that this article will grow in importance. Knox490 (talk) 03:32, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Read WP:CRYSTAL, about not predicting his hypothetical future notability as a basis for retaining an article on just one more stooge in the terror wave.These articles are written by editors who, were the subject Hispanic, would be writing up the slim bios of every Mexican/Central American murderer in the US under the category of Hispanic immigrant killers, as part of some WASP hysteria about a presumed Catholic/Latino threat to the USA.

  • Note - Most terrorists do not appear in multiple journal articles, in fact many are not named in such articles at all - with non-news sources limited to "terror encyclopedias" and other books that cover every terror event in some scope. this particular individual has 170 google scholar hits - Google Scholar for Arid Uka (170 after jumping ahead to last and verifying he's in the article preview text) - some of which are passing (as a lone wolf example) some are quite in-depth regarding his radicalization. Uka has become a bona fida illustrative example in academic circles.Icewhiz (talk) 07:53, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that his fundamentalist islamisation is widely cited does not constitute grounds for a biography when that fact already exists in the Frankfort airport article (unless the point is to create several thousand articles on people who have become Islamic fundamentalists, and a couple of million on evangelical fundamentalists, since 57% of the US population thinks federal law should be based on Biblical principles,-70% approving state executions which in huge disproportion affect Afro-Americans far more than Caucasian murderers- just as Islamic fundamentalists think the law in Arab countries should derive from the Sharia). This hysteric focus on Islamic radicalization reflects the toxic news cycle's bias, rather than, encyclopedically, throwing light on the nature of such phenomena.Nishidani (talk) 11:55, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When the subject is treated separately, it does. As for media focus on Islamists vs. evangelical fundamentalists - we follow the coverage when assessing notability for WP:GNG, WP:SOAP of possible media/scholarly bias regarding lack of coverage of attackers who shout "Jesus Christ" prior to carrying out their attack is a matter to be taken up with the media/scholars, not here.Icewhiz (talk) 12:08, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to 2011 Frankfurt Airport shooting. No real coverage of him exists independent of this one event, and it should not be confusing for readers to be redirected to the shooting article or to read about the shooter’s motives there. Although multiple reliable sources were added to the article page showing Uka is an example of “lone wolf terrorism”, they don’t seem to be about him specifically and only list him out as one of multiple examples. That coverage isn’t specific to him and we don’t need separate articles on every single person motivated by Islamic fundamentalism to do something. Lone wolf terrorism already exists, already mentions this shooting as one of several, and already redirects to the shooting page. The shooter’s motives are not so unique to give this shooter lasting notability on his own. Shelbystripes (talk) 14:49, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced and does not meet GNG. Its claimed to be historic, but apparently not rising to the level of NRHP. I did find some info from a local historic group in Dumfries, VA [52] but that is not enough. MB 00:52, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I completed the AfD after technical issues. ansh666 01:09, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A book called George Washington's Country was published by E. P. Dutton in 1930. This book contains nine pages about this mid-18th century house. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:12, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is the house where The Grand Old Man of the Marine Corps was raised, one of the most important figures of the early days of the Corps. Interesting DYK, it was also hit by a cannonball during the civil war as a result of the fighting nearby. Semper fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - It’s a house. Per WP:NGEO, houses don’t inherit notability from people. Someone being raised in a house doesn’t make it notable on its own, otherwise we’d have a lot of articles on houses. Also, if we did an article on every building that was damaged during the Civil War, we’d have a whole lot more articles on houses and buildings. There aren’t even articles for all the childhood homes of every President of the United States. This house isn’t on the National Register and doesn’t have historic park or monument status that I can find, and I can’t find anything else to establish its notability. Shelbystripes (talk) 15:09, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per the significant coverage identified by Cullen together with the other source highlighted by the nominator. Wikipedia has many thousands of articles on houses of historic notability and this one passes GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Just because a house is not listed in the National Register of Historic Places, does not mean that it is not historical. The house in question was built by Alexander Henderson a merchant and politician in the British colony and American state of Virginia who is notable enough to have his own article in Wikipedia. The house was also the home of another notable figure, Archibald Henderson the "Grand old man of the Marine Corps".Tony the Marine (talk) 03:24, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    A house does not inherit notability because it was built by someone notable or lived in by someone notable (as previously stated by Shelbystripes). It needs to have significant independent coverage in RS on its own. No one has provided any sources except one book "George Washington's Country", but I can't read the relevant pages in the Google preview and thus can't discern the depth of the coverage. The source I provided is not independent; it is a local historical group in Dumfries, Va (pop. 5000) that is trying to promote tourism in the town. MB 04:07, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Dumfries was one of the largest towns in America during the tobacco period of the late 1700s. Where did you come up with the comment about the historical group...specifically where you stated, that it "is trying to promote tourism in the town"? Semper Fi!

This search shows (at least for me - Google Books can be very unpredictable about what it displays) that this house is the topic of a nine-page chapter in that book. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:19, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned above, buildings do not inherit notability, so this is not really a valid reason to keep under Wikipedia policies. Being a place someone notable lived does not make that place notable in itself. Also the "external link" you added is to the current proprietor of the house, which means it is not an independent reliable source and does not add support to keeping the page. Are there multiple independent reliable sources supporting encyclopedic notability? So far I've heard mention of nine pages in a single book, but that's all. Shelbystripes (talk) 03:10, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This article mentions the house being used as a hospital for both the north and the south during the Civil War, depending on who held the territory at the time. I'm sure there's more to that thread with a little more research, and certainly notable IMHO. The article also states there's a 1930s-era Marine Corps museum history of the home. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:12, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the 1930s article from the Marine Corps Museum that says the house had many notable men entertained there during the revolution and was used as a hospital during the Civil War. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:29, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on two editors asserting the nine pages of coverage of the house. However, the article is just one or two sentences without sources (unless the external link is one), and by now in an AFD usually the article in question should be developed more. (Though "AFD is not for cleanup", it usually is helpful to simply develop an article and take it off the table. However, if some editor seems to be using AFD to force cleanup (I don't know if that is happening here), it seems more beneficial to fight that by arguing for Keep without cleaning up.) --doncram 04:50, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would have cited the book mentioned above if I had access to the full text. As it is I can see from the table of contents that it has a chapter about this house but I can't see any of the content. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 12:21, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No rationale given by nominator, Mister Memmedov.

Mister Memmedov, I'm not sure what you're doing with all these malformed AfDs of articles you created. If you want to delete them, then as creator you can speedy them. Again, do not revert another editor's work without an edit summary - it's unhelpful, unclear and plain rude - and put your reasons for nominating heree, you seem to be wasting everyone's time.
