Move to Bigpoint_Games#List_of_games_developed_by_Bigpoint as the best choice when subject is non-notable and alternative to deletion; my searches found nothing particularly good with one at Books and and a few at News with browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary finding nothing as well.

This article is about a person on social media who, if I understand correctly, curates a hashtag. That doesn't seem very notable to me. There is also some writing and radio work, which seems closer to notability but I don't see this quite making it over the line. Forbes seems to like her but I am not sure if that is enough as their coverage consists of a bunch of silly list articles. She gets other hits in Google News but the coverage is all thin stuff as far as I can see. The average journalist who doesn't merit an article probably has more in Google News. The article has been deleted at AfD before. I don't know how much more notable she is now than back then and this is aparently not the same text that got deleted before.

Most Trophies in European football

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

Pretty sure there was an article like this before, that got deleted at AfD. We don't need a list of European football clubs who've won over 30 titles, mainly because the big 5 European countries already have articles about this. Plus, it's misleading to count winning the Belarusian or Moldovan League the same as winning Premier League or La Liga. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:39, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Crane's role as CEO at NRG Energy, described as the "nation’s biggest nonutility electricity producer, with $12 billion in annual revenue" is a credible claim of notability and there is appropriate coverage about him, notably the Forbes 2014 profile, to meet the notability guideline. If the article is "spammy", then it needs to be fixed, not deleted. Alansohn (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: as failing NHOCKEY, with no evidence the subject meets the GNG. I'm also nominating four other articles created by WpgJets4Life that likewise are mid-level prospects who fail NHOCKEY and with only routine sports coverage debarred by WP:ROUTINE to show. (Three other articles passed NHOCKEY.) I urge WpgJets4Life to read WP:GNG and WP:NHOCKEY for a better understanding of the criteria for notability for potential articles.

Delete, unfortunately - This is actually one of the best known trainers in the fitness world and he's best known for the "Insanity" videos similar to P90X but unfortunately my searches aren't finding good coverage of him (here, here, here and here).

Apple electric car project

WP:CRYSTAL re-nomination after "no consensus" followed by "keep". Policy states "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place."

This event is not almost certain to take place, and while it may be WP:N because Apple is a large company and rumors can spread quickly through news, Wikipedia is not a collection of rumors. See AFD discussion on an article for the Samsung Galaxy S6 before Samsung had officially announced the S6, and the S6 was just a rumor. Appable (talk) 16:46, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete I had to admit wondering if the speculation itself from generally reliable sources isn't itself notable. However, per WP:CRYSTAL which states "speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content," specifically in regard to products, I have to lean toward delete. --Non-Dropframe _talk 22:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Question @Appable: Per Wikipedia:Renominating for deletion, shouldn't you have waited at least six months before re-nominating? --Non-Dropframe _talk 22:22, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's an essay/recommendation. There's no required waiting period - WP:RELIST. —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:42, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - first, the subject of this article is a product, not a WP:EVENT. An event is the 2018 Tour de France. Second, subject easily meets GNG by extensive coverage that overcomes any complaint about "rumors" or WP:CRYSTALBALL. There is a very significant difference between articles based on "rumors" and articles based on sources whose names are not published for obvious reasons. In this article, The Wall Street Journal printed specifically that Apple has hundreds of employees working on the electric car for a project named Titan. Not "rumored to be" working on, or "considering" working on, or "it would be great if they started working on", but they are currently working on, as in fact. They didn't read that on a message board or hear it from someone who knows someone in Cupertino who has a really strong hunch. I don't know anything about the Samsung Galaxy S6, but I'm guessing that at the time it was deleted, the S6 was not the subject of articles in the WSJ, the BBC, Time, Forbes, Reuters, the Sydney Morning Herald, and Bloomberg. And those are the sources already in the article - I didn't even need to look for others. —Мандичка^YO 😜 22:37, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- From WP:CRYSTAL "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." There are many different sources reporting conflicting news about the state of the electric car. It might be notable, but at its core it's all "speculation and rumor" since the company has never released any statement about the product. Therefore, it's not "appropriate encyclopedic content".Appable (talk) 22:49, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Apple does not need to release any statement about the product. Where does it say that until a primary source releases a statement about a subject, everything printed about it is all speculation and rumor? That's silly. Nor is this a "short article that consists only of product announcement information." And as I pointed out, the WSJ has clear details that in no way are positioned or described as a rumor. If you personally choose to doubt that it's true, that is your choice, just the same way you could disregard anything that's printed anywhere, but that's not relevant to Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion. Insisting the WSJ is not accurate because nobody else has that same information is also not the way Wikipedia operates either; there is no guideline that says any piece of information must be confirmed by two or more reliable sources before it can be included. And really, The Wall Street Journal? I really can't think of a more solid reliable source out there, especially when it comes to an American business. —Мандичка^YO 😜 23:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Samsung Galaxy S6 had the same sources discussing it. However, consensus was to remove the article because it was still backed on speculation and rumors or "insider reports" that may or may not be legitimate. The Wall Street Journal is a reliable source, but it's still reporting on facts which can't be verified easily. Appable (talk) 01:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - Unfortunately I can't view the original Samsung S6 article, so I can't see if the same sources discussed the Samsung S6 with the same extensive coverage that would have also met WP:GNG. I did notice that not a single person in either AfD claimed GNG. It would seem like, if Samsung Galaxy S6 had been the source of any particularly significant coverage, somebody who created and/or worked on either article would, over the course of those AfDs, tried to claim it had some solid sources. Nobody stood up for the article at all: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samsung Galaxy S6 (closed October 6, 2014) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samsung Galaxy S6 (2nd nomination) (closed 00:09, 1 March 1, 2015, ironically the day the Samsung S6 was officially released and the current article was created). So I tried my best to search for this pre-March coverage you said exists at what I think are the two strongest sources: Time and WSJ. For Time, this article from September 2014 on "Best Phones for Fall 2014" was the only mention before March 1, and it was a brief mention (list of phone makes and models, and noting Samsung people might want to hold out for the S6 that is "likely" to come out in 2015). I searched WSJ.com and there was nothing before 8 January 2015, and only a handful of hits before March 1, most of which were just about Samsung's financials, quarterly earnings forecast, business with Qualcomm. You can see for yourself. However, there was one article on 2 February 2015 that was very specifically about the Samsung Galaxy S6!!!! The article they published was: "Samsung Is Going to Launch a New Galaxy Smartphone on March 1". Not Samsung might be going to release it, not Samsung is rumored to be aiming for March 1, but a matter of fact: Samsung is going to launch the Galaxy on March 1 so let the rumors end. Of course I haven't seen all the other articles before March 1 in the same sources you say gave the same coverage to the S6, but if I had seen that second AfD, I probably would have pointed out the obvious like I'm doing now: the WSJ is not going to publish "speculation and rumors" as fact. They published that article and the Apple electric car article because they have verified the information they were putting their name on and have verified it to be fact. —Мандичка^YO 😜 03:59, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—nothing has changed in the article since the last AfD to warrant a new nomination. In fact, looking at what's been added, we have more sources confirming the notability under WP:GNG. Even if Apple tomorrow issued a press release to say that the project were cancelled, it would still be a notable topic of discussion in the news media suitable for inclusion here. We have articles on proposed roads like County Road 595 (Marquette County, Michigan) or Illiana Expressway that haven't entered construction and are only under study or development. An electric car under development by Apple is really no different than a road under study. Imzadi 1979 → 03:12, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Piracy High Risk Area

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

Seems to be sourced primarily from one website.

"Piracy in the Strait of Hormuz" is seems more like a recentism. Mootros (talk) 08:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - there are other articles like this, such as the Maritime Security Patrol Area for the Gulf of Oman, Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, Piracy in the Strait of Malacca. The article includes events going back several years, so I don't see how WP:RECENTISM applies. It doesn't seem to be sourced from one website either, and there are plenty of additional sources, [3], [4], [5], [6], which note this particular area is a gold mine because of the oil tankers. —Мандичка^YO 😜 09:15, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article asserts, essentially, that facts of today are always and forever the same facts. Look at the article title: "Piracy High Risk Area." That's an absurd title, because the area of high risk for piracy is an absolute. Isn't the Caribbean still "the" high risk area for piracy, if we take all acts of piracy together through history and combine them, or is it the Mediterranean, where the Romans were constantly chasing pirates? Well, this article asserts "the" area of "high risk" for "piracy": it's an absurd concept in an encyclopedia. It's fine for a governmental news release, for a newspaper, or for a morning briefing. Hithladaeus (talk) 12:00, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Hithladaeus: Obviously you didn't even look at the article. It has clearly been renamed Piracy in the Strait of Hormuz and is only about piracy in the Strait of Hormuz. —Мандичка^YO 😜 13:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    - Hmmm, I'm not sure of the current state of the article, and whether it needs to be improved in any way. I also make it a policy to never read articles before I decide whether or not they should be deleted. —Мандичка^YO 😜 13:52, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - Indeed, the angels above are already singing your benevolence. I was only wondering if the listing might benefit from some of this surplus virtue. Apparently not. I'm sure you would know. Hithladaeus (talk) 14:42, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        I think it would be up to the creator of this AfD to update the description - I really don't know what Mootros is talking about in regards to recentism. There aren't any pirating events there recently. There was this incident with Iran but it's not related to piracy. —Мандичка^YO 😜 16:06, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this probably should have been a retitling / moving discussion rather than an AFD as the main concern clearly related to the title and all other issues flowed from that.

Insurgency weapon

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

This is not a useful disambiguation title, because there are no categories of weapons that are categorized in reliable sources as specifically being "insurgency" weapons. Any weapon that happens to be in the possession of insurgents could be called an insurgency weapon, from sticks and rocks to tanks, fighter jets, and nuclear bombs. If there were a discernible category of "insurgency weapons" then the appropriate treatment would be to have an article on the topic, but in reality "insurgency weapon" basically just means Weapon. bd2412 T 16:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Redirect as per previous comment. The term "insurgency weapons", apparently popularised by gun designer Robert Hillberg to refer to simple, cheap and reliable firearms,[13][14] doesn't seem very notable, although it's valid as a description of weapons used by insurgents. The Hillberg concept is already under Insurgency_weapons_and_tactics#Purpose-built_insurgency_weapons, and the more general concept is discussed in the rest of that article (certain weapons are strongly associated with insurgencies and guerilla movements, most iconically perhaps the AK-47 [15][16]). This is not an appropriate disambiguation page, since the topic only has one meaning and disambiguation pages shouldn't normally list examples. Colapeninsula (talk) 16:10, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. An obituary in Science is enough to convince me of notability, but we also have a second obituary providing the multiple reliable sources needed for WP:GNG. And judging by Google scholar his works are still well cited despite their age, so I think he also passes WP:PROF#C1, even though that criterion is aimed more at current academics than at long-past ones. When we have articles on people known for their expertise on something, and these articles have proper sources saying that they are known for their expertise, it is not promotional to call them an expert. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was ready to !vote this down due to the article's ugly origins. Plenty of UCC such as [17] [18] [19]. However there may be enough legit reviews to establish notability:

Also, if the claim to have won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal is true, that probably meets WP:NBOOK by itself. — Brianhe (talk) 01:13, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did a search and had some trouble pulling up the site. I found this cached version of the page that doesn't list the specific book but does say that the author won the award. The WP entry for the award gives off the impression that the award is for an author's entire set of works, not for specific individual books. I looked on the author's entry and got this cached version of the specific awards page, which does not mention this book at all. This backs up the idea that she was given the award for her work overall and not for one specific book. In other words, the claim that this specific book won the award is erroneous. However I do think that there are enough sources out there to otherwise show notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:37, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And now of course the ALA site comes up. The information still backs up the assertion that this is for an author's overall works. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It may not have won any specific awards (see my comments above), but it still received quite a bit of coverage- enough to where it'd merit an article on Wikipedia. I did find some evidence to suggest that it is used in some classrooms, although not really enough to where I'd say that it'd qualify under that criteria. There is some coverage to assert that its author would probably qualify as someone who is so notable that their works would be considered notable as well, although I know that this is often highly debated. Regardless of that, there is enough to show notability for the work as a whole, independently of the author. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:45, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The American Muslim

AfDs for this article:

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

Article on website that self-describes as a magazine. However, the only RS I can find is the 2012 The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media it describes New Muslim not as a magazine, but as an "outlet an outlet that has used new technologies and a changing media environment to reestablish itself," as described in article, it had once been a quarterly put out by Sheila Musaji, whose article is also up for AFD. Website lists Musaji as the sole editor, and specifies that in the former, hardcopy iteration all staff were volunteers. The problem with all of this is that I can find no sources beyond that single listing in an Oxford book (and even that is unsourced except that it quotes Musaji, in a book that sources other publications.) As far as I can tell, this is a non-notable, self-described "magazine" of admirable longevity. It does publish articles and opinions by multiple writers, but there is no indication that the material is edited. Click "editors" and only 1 name appears, Musaji. There was an AFD in 2007. 5 WP editors weighed in, all voting "keep". Problem is, only 1 of them bought a source, and it is a dead link.

Yes. It says that they were all volunteers. But so far, I am not turning up notability in any period; searching is hard because "The American Muslim" is a common phrasing for many things other than this journal/website. This page and Sheila Musaji were started by the same SPA in 2006. Here:[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_American_Muslim&oldid=148084237} is the page as the SPA created it.

Although your English is execrable it sounds as though you're saying it will be kept no matter what anyone else's opinion may be. Wikipedia doesn't work like this. You clearly haven't realised that all the American buildings you mention are on the National Register of Historic Places, which qualifies them for inclusion. Is this building on a similar list? No? Then it doesn't qualify under the same convention. Buildings aren't just notable because they're there! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:08, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Really, there isn't much choice at this point. The lodging of the article is self-defeating, for one thing (song name "(Version 1)"). If the song had demonstrated sales, discussion, and longevity, then we'd need to ensure about half a dozen redirects simply to cover all of the potential look-ups. The content covers a single fact (it is a song from a film), plus lists singers, and then we have violations of NPOV. (Shrug) It could be "Wind Beneath My Wings" or "Candle in the Wind," for all I can tell, and it might turn out to generate as much press and use, but not now, and not like this.

Doing general due diligence as described in the article deletion page, Losh has written a few books, but no other books really mention her. She is the author of multiple academic articles in Google Scholar, and they are good. However, these articles are not substantive enough to warrant a Wikipedia page. She does plenty in femtech, but the article was written at a conference where she played an integral role, where someone likely felt her presence was more powerful than her impact outside the conference.

User:Ucsd1234, Welcome to WP. It is unusual to see a new account apparently created for the sole purpose of nominating an article for deletion. And intriguing to have a SPA named ucsd created for the purpose of deleting the newish page of a UCSD professor. If you are Elizabeth Losh and are using this as a method of deleting the article because yo would prefer not to have a WP article, you should know that deletion can be requested by academics who, like Losh, are not household names.

Weak keep. The article is promotionally written — e.g. the pull quotes from the reviews appear to be chosen as quotes that make the books good rather than ones that tell us anything useful about their content — and that should be fixed. But getting reviewed at Times Higher Education is something of a coup, and although I can't find quite as high profile reviews for her other book Virtualpolitik it also has some published reviews [23] [24]. That may be enough for WP:AUTHOR, at least. —David Eppstein (talk) 15:38, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think this article, which was created during an edit-a-thon needs the help of more experienced Wikipedians. The reasons for keeping it include it came out of a Feminism edit-a-thon and it is obviously a stub which needs fleshing out. The subject of the article passes notability tests.

~~Weak delete.~~ You can't vote twice. Kraxler (talk) 01:15, 11 June 2015 (UTC) (Original deletion recommender.) Thanks for the comments -- I am fine keeping the page as long as someone improves the page. As far as a grudge goes, I do know her, but I don't hold a grudge -- I am a huge Wiki advocate and would love her to have her page, but I know this was promotional, and I don't think it's right for promotional material to be put up. I definitely do not want to demoralize the original author, who is probably a fan of Losh. The whole reason that no one is commenting on the delete page (and this is going on for more than the usual 1 week) is because she's not notable outside this narrow field. So far, we have a few commenters, including a "vintage feminist," and David Eppstein, who is a UCI computer science professor and may (or may not) be in the same knowledge space as Liz Losh. I mainly think that many of the people in this small intellectual space think she's bigger than what she is. But improve the page so that it's not promotional, and I think it will be a good contribution. Ucsd1234[reply]

As kppp has a separate article, then GNOME-PPP should also. So deleting this article is a vandal POV. Fsfolks (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

kppp has also been nominated for deletion here for the same reason. Personally I think we should have fewer good articles on this topic area, rather than lots of stubby ones - that would be better for the reader wouldn't you think? The term "vandal POV" makes no sense, different people have different views and life would be incredibly dull if we all had the same opinions. Also, vandalism has a very specific term on Wikipedia - it means deliberately making the encyclopedia worse. Like this, for example. Having a different viewpoint to somebody else and enforcing it aggressively can certainly be disruptive, but it's not vandalism. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:38, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wvdial Thanks Ritchie333 and Fsfolks. I would like to apologise first for applying the incorrect tag to the article. That being said, I cannot see much of a reasoning keeping the pages. As of right now, I cannot see how merging content from the two articles to Wvdial would cause much of a trouble. In addition, I do not believe the article meet WP:NSOFT. While I acknowledge the presence of the review at http://www.osnews.com/story/7253/Quick_Review_Introduction_to_Gnome-PPP, it would appear to me that it failed to assert GNOME-PPP as being significant in its particular field. The article also failed to claim importance in its content. If you have further details to add for GNOME-PPP and kppp, you are welcomed to add them to the articles and expand them. If further references are added then obviously it would help to convince people that this software is indeed notable. - Andrew Y _talk 20:27, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No real context, a single source and non-notable department Zackmann08 (talk) 02:36, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - From my understanding, single departments of an entire territory (for example, Northern Mariana Islands) are automatically notable. This isn't the police department of a single municipality or even county. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:35, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

However I would like to merge this with Law enforcement in the Northern Mariana Islands, which I just discovered. However I think "Northern Mariana Islands Department of Public Safety" should be the article title. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:04, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious keep. Preposterous nomination. Does not lack context. Number of sources is irrelevant, but is much larger than one. (Hint: use a search engine next time, as this is required by BEFORE). State-wide (including province-wide, territory-wide etc) government departments are inherently notable. This one clearly satisfies GNG, though that isn't necessary. Merger would be inappropriate as there is plenty of coverage, it would reduce clarity of presentation and ought, in principle, to be to a parent unit of government, not an article on an activity that isn't the department's only function (in addition to "prevention of crime", the departments functions also include "protection of life and property" and "preservation of peace, order and safety" (Governor's Report, 2000, p 50: [30]), neither of which necessarily involves enforcing any laws. James500 (talk) 12:37, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay if Law enforcement in the Northern Mariana Islands redirects to Northern Mariana Islands Department of Public Safety? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:31, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Whether that article should be merged or redirected is irrelevant to this nomination as that article has not been nominated. If you want to redirect/merge that article to this one, and I think that is what you propose, your !vote here should be "keep". James500 (talk) 06:52, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Phil McCoy

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

Article is a WP:HOAX. There is no Burlington nature artist named Phil McCoy. The two book sources are bogus. The ISBN for the first book actually belongs to "Playboy: Redheads", and the second ISBN doesn't match any book. A search by title turns up no indication that these books exist. The third reference purports to be a book about the environmental crisis of the 70's and a NY Times bestseller. The link leads to a set of PDFs for NY Times fiction bestsellers which makes no sense for what would be a non-fiction book. For somebody who was such a prolific and well known artist, there is no trace of him in a google search. Whpq (talk) 10:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete good catch - based on this note I thought this was just a crazy person desperate to get a Wikipedia article for their relative; but user's talk page shows they have created numerous nonsense and should have been banned months ago.

Regarding the notability of the sources, they are real sources, not notable as it seems (because they don't seem to mete mainstream criteria, maybe?). So shouldn't magazines (both print and online) not be used at all? Or is there a certain subscriber base required? One more question, for future articles: Why/how was it accepted as article in the first place? Looking forward to any help and thanks in advance.• Chrisnb

To answer Chrisnb's question. Whether a source conveys notability is not related to its popularity or its specificity, but rather its reliability. In short, if a source has editorial control it is usually reliable and conveys notability. Looking at the sources in the article (which none of the above comments seem to have done):

Metal.de is an extensive review and the site appears to be a reliable source - conveys notability

Perun.hr is a modest length review and the site's reliability is possible, but unclear - doesn't add much

Eternity Magazine is an interview (semi-primary source) by a publication with unclear reliability - adds nothing

Voices from the Darkside (Chris Infect) appears to be a reliable source - adds a little, but not as much as a review or other non-interview would

Blabbermouth does not appear to be a reliable source

The-pit.de does not appear to be a reliable source

The rest of the sources are trivial mentions (tour dates, track listings, etc)

Overall, I would say that adds up to some minor notability: weak keep --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:51, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP, clearly created for promotional purposes, of a writer whose debut book is still a month away from a future publication date, and whose article is sourced entirely to promotional content on the websites of the book's publishers. As always, the qualification that gets a writer into Wikipedia is "the writer is the subject of reliable source coverage supporting a claim of notability that satisfies WP:AUTHOR", not "the writer exists". Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when RS coverage starts showing up. Bearcat (talk) 07:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that I may have done something incorrect with this page. My apologies if I have, I am only an occasional Wiki editor. However, I did some research and thought that I was following Wikipedia guidelines. So, in the spirit of assuming good faith I'll try and address your obvious concerns. Firstly, this is not 'clearly' created for any purposes other than to highlight the writer of a forthcoming book, with a major Worldwide publisher. I don't work for them and there is no promotional content on the page. I am/was not aware that a book had to be formally past its publishing date, before it was mentioned. With regards to the sources linking to the publisher, I added these after another editor pointed out that at least one source needed to be added. I followed the guidelines under Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources where it mentions "The publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press)". Anyway, I'm not going to argue this point further and am happy to leave it up to more experienced editors to decide about this. But please, let's keep this civil and not jump to conclusions about people's motives. Bonzobonce (talk) 10:35, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have a rule that all works of literature have to be past its publication date before they can be mentioned on here at all — if the writer has previously published other works and thus already satisfies WP:AUTHOR, then announced future works are allowed to be added to their article. But if the basic claim of notability is resting entirely on a debut work that hasn't been published yet, then the author hasn't yet satisfied the basic criterion that would allow them to have an article to mention the book in — the basic notability criterion for writers does require that at least one book has already been published and garnered media coverage (or that they already qualified for an article for other reasons independently of publishing a book.) And while the website of the book's publisher is a valid source for verifying the fact of the book's publication, it cannot confer notability in and of itself — it's not an independent source which demonstrates that he's received coverage for the fact of the book. It's valid for confirming the fact of the book's existence if enough other sources are already present in the article to cover off the notability issue, but it cannot satisfy the notability issue in and of itself — sources that are reliable for the confirmation of facts, and sources which can actually demonstrate that the topic satisfies our notability rules, are two different things. I'll grant that promotion may not have been your intention, but there is a longstanding pattern on Wikipedia that such things are usually contributed by the publisher themselves or a public relations agent. Bearcat (talk) 18:01, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:TOOSOON. I don't agree it's created for promotional purposes and editor's history shows nothing that would indicate a connection with subject or book. Sounds like an interesting book, but we need to wait until it's released or has enough material to warrant an article on the book or the author. —Мандичка^YO 😜 13:01, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this as a speedy deletion via WP:A7, but the association with notable performers is enough to where they'd squeak by speedy standards. However a search doesn't really bring up anything that would really assert notability for this production duo and I also need to note that while the article asserts that they are "Grammy-nominated", this statement refers to a Grammy nomination for Chris Brown- which is not the same as LDN Noise actually receiving a nomination themselves. They have worked with international artists so there's potential that there could be sources in another language, but offhand I'm really not seeing any true notability here enough to where they'd pass notability guidelines, especially as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by them working with notable persons. It can make it more likely, but it's not a guarantee. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:36, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. This is a fairly borderline decision. The main objections to the article is that the subject is not quite notable enough, as the sources are not reliable and/or do not discuss the subject significantly enough beyond trivial mentions. This objection has been challenged. On examining closely the sources, on the whole they are not directly dealing with the subject, but with other matters to which the subject is related (ie, they are about material he is selling, and he is mentioned in passing). However, there are, as pointed out in the discussion, mentions which go beyond the incidental, and which are interviews, such as the juxtapoz one, and the New Lenox Patch. However, also brought up was the local nature of the coverage. What is certain is that the article is verifiable, and that Kelly Hutchison does exist, and has gained some attention in local media for selling murderabilia. What is not certain is if the amount and quality and significance of the sources meet our inclusion criteria. Seeing arguments balanced on both sides, it's not the closer's role to take any one side; so, as the argument is balanced I can either take a count or close as no consensus. Given that the deletes are three, while the keeps are one, there is a clear consensus for deletion. However, given the amount of work the creator, Crystalh1982 has done on the article, I will WP:Userfy on request so Crystalh1982 can continue working on it, or merge the material into murderabilia as suggested during the discussion.

I am not affiliated with the artist, and I understand it has been edited by various others since it's creation, but I am familiar with the sources that the pages cites and know it is not a copied/pasted article.

Delete Redirect to Murderabilia, possibly adding some content from these references. The article suffers from cite spam, unfortunately. There are no articles listed that are about the subject, although there are mentions. Some of the links, however, do not mention the person at all (e.g. #16, #21). Other cites are to blogs, individual web sites, etc., and no reliable sources have an article about the artist. In fact, the thrust of the articles is almost exclusively the phenomenon of "murderabilia". LaMona (talk) 01:17, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest that the full length article in juxtapoz counts as an article about him.©Geni (talk) 02:10, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that interviews may be considered primary sources and thus original research. See Wikipedia:No_original_research#cite_note-3 I don't know how to know when they are not OR. LaMona (talk) 14:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @ Geni, I agree the full length article in juxtapoz counts as an article about him. @ Lamona, I disagree that the interview is considered primary research after reviewing cite note 3 mentioned above. My understanding is that it would only apply to an "oral history interview", such as an interview about an accident that took place and referencing an interview from a witness. I can see your point that perhaps the murderabilia info isn't valid within the artist page, however many articles mention personal information about the subjects, and I can see why someone may have thought to add it because it is a big part of his life/what influences him(#21 does mention the artist by the way). However you claim that the murderabilia section is the main part of the page. It is actually a section only titled "personal collection", the rest is about the artist himself, no? As far as the individual web sites, blogs, etc.: What about Thrillist Media Group? They made upwards of 100 million in 2014 with more than 300 employees according to Wikipedia. Per WP:BLPSPS "Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control". Therefore, just because it's a blog, doesn't mean it's not legit. Also, Reference #2 may appear to just be a "personal website" but it's actually a local newspaper that is printed, and the articles just happen to be reposted in blog form online. I also obtained a copy of Inked Magazine (Reference #12) and indeed the article does exist about him as listed - so although it's not available online for free I believe it's still a valid reference. I also have for example, an article about him in print from San Diego City Beat that isn't on this reference list, and I'm not sure why local publications are not valid? I really respect all of your opinions, and am trying to figure this out. As I am sure you can understand, I do not want my hard work going to waste and again volunteer my help if something can be done to prevent deletion.Crystalh1982 (talk) 06:23, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Thank you to those that have relisted this in hopes of reaching a consensus, which I hope can happen soon. I am very concerned about this article being deleted from Wiki and my offer still stands to help improve the article if it can be saved. I noticed the link to sources above only searches for the artist's name which is a very common name, and while he still pops up first and in many entries, most artists are better found when adding additional search terms such as "artist", etc. just a thought. I am hoping others can weigh in here and express their opinions, and most importantly some ideas on how this article can be saved/ improved upon.

Concepts and names in the Epic of Gilgamesh

Duplicate article/content, Fails WP:NOT#DICTIONARY . This article is essentially a dictionary or concordance of the Epic of Gilgamesh, definitions of everything the editor feels is important. Of course, it's entirely redundant with our existing article on the Epic of Gilgamesh, where the important "persons and things" are already explained, and with the existing articles we have on related subjects (which are also already linked from Epic of Gilgamesh). I have suggested that the editor take this to Wiktionary, the appropriate project for definitions and concordances (see Wiktionary:Concordances), but they're continuing here. Woodroar (talk) 04:25, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this sets a new bar for failure —Мандичка^YO 😜 05:39, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not everything i feel is important, it's based on words of which the meanings are not apparent. In any case the whole discussion seems redundant to me since firstly, and for example, List of people mentioned by name in the Quran has existed for number of years already and nobody has contested it's existence, but more importantly, there are already too many articles of "Lists of..." for me to spend time counting > List of lists of lists, really a significant number. Why ever would there be a hurry to discuss deletion though? since, Woodroar already having contacted me, that the article might be given time to develop in any case. What is the hurry? What actual harm is the article currently doing? It might serve to add something to understanding and scholarship, wikipedia as we all know is about learning, you both seem so eager to dismiss this for reasons of policy, but the reason wikipedia exists is to help people to learn, how is the article failing to do that? and how about other policies which might contradict WP:NOT#DICTIONARY < this policy isn't all encompassing, which the Lists of Lists of Lists page demonstrates. Whalestate (talk) 06:15, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

by the way what currently is the bar for failure? I'm learning gymnastics so I'd like to know Мандичка, you go tell me (next time we see each other at the gymnasium eh?) Whalestate (talk) 06:15, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't actually see explanations of < the important "persons and things" > in the article Epic of Gilgamesh I think you just presumed that these explanaitions existed Woodroar, without checking. In any case, the List of article offers an easy and concise way for people to look through important "persons and things" (which you've so helpfully identified is the actual subject of the Lists article), instead of going through a some-what lengthy main article. There isn't anything more to say on the issue unless there is another additional relevant criticism from someone I'm sure, unless I've missed something about this discussion, if so then someone please enlighten me. yes, a new bar for failure, is that like, 2 metres or like .... what ? Whalestate (talk) 06:23, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It fails every possible criteria. I thought about creating an article called "List of things that fail harder than the article list of persons and things mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh" but then I realized it would be blank. —Мандичка^YO 😜 06:55, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Whalestate: that problems exist in other articles (also called "other stuff exists") is a reason to fix those other articles, though, not a reason to keep this one. Ultimately, WP:NOT is policy because there is one thing that Wikipedia is—an encyclopedia where we summarize what reliable sources say about subjects—and many things that Wikipedia is not. We don't do definitions (that's Wiktionary) or reproduce texts (Wikisource and Wikibooks) or quotes (Wikiquotes) or tutorials (Wikiversity) or media (Commons). (You can see our full list of projects at Wikimedia project.) We do have some lists, but they primarily serve to direct readers to articles, and there's even pushback against the fact that we have lists at all. (See WP:PROSE, for example.) What we don't have are duplicate articles where one is a list of important keywords. So we're discussing this rather than letting the article develop because this list is fundamentally outside the scope of what we're doing here. If you'd like, you're welcome to add content to Epic of Gilgamesh, to flesh out the plot or add more details about the more important people or places or things, keeping in mind important policies like WP:DUE. I hope you can understand why this is an issue. Woodroar (talk) 07:00, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Woodroar We do have some lists... I included copy of the article (below) to demonstrate your error in thinking some and not a seemingly vast number (numerous, a great number, a forminable number).Your whole argument on the basis it is a list, as you can see, the number of main heading of list articles alone is really extensive. You think because there is currently a discussion about the validity of list articles (there's even pushback against the fact that we have lists at all), that it would make a difference to the number of list articles already? So, the discussion might result in every single list article deleted in order to follow policy, that's what your claiming ? What we don't have are duplicate articles where one is a list of important keywords - I doubt if it's possible you have surveyed the entire set of List articles or wikipedia to know for yourself if this is true, tell me if you have. Whalestate (talk) 08:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An article should be considered on it's own merits, and not on the basis of policy, since, firstly policy is fluid to some degree, and secondly, wikipedia representing an encyclopedia using the internet allows for a looser interpretation of what might and might not be allowed under the definition such a thing. Wiki, meaning quick, would certainly indicate as a absolute surety, that to speed the access to knowledge is the defining feature of this encyclopedia, and so allowing some-one to see all the words detailed in the list would contribute to acceleration of learning. Plus, there are red-links in the list, which might indicate further investigation is needed (which is being hampered by this discussion slightly I might add)

In any case, I might in the future move the article from a title including list, if that is your problem, but let me reiterate, how could it be considering the evidence I've provided, irrespective of what-ever this or that policy you might consider proves it isn't encyclopediac, the reality of wikipedia is certainly something different to that which an absolute observance of policy should allow.Whalestate (talk) 08:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions > "Just unencyclopedic" which I think is the main thrust of your detailing various projects above, but really is easily summarized as fulfilling the WP:UNENCYC policy inclusion I've given as evidence from Arguments to avoid. Whalestate (talk) 08:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In-as-much as lists aren't really acceptable per policy, if the name were changed after a period of re-working then it might serve a purpose beyond that which is identified here as insufficient grounds for inclusion, since wikipedia is infact a work in progress. Your rigid observance of policy is stifling the development of the article though, wouldn't you say so? If it transpires that in attempting to develop the article under discussion, there results in something found to be unacceptable, then better at that time to discuss deletion, wouldn't you agree? Whalestate (talk) 08:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still keeping to the evidence of the number of lists alone as sufficient grounds for retaining the article under discussion. Considering the proportion of relatively trivial and more obscure articles included below (please refer to the original) I would think something as important as the subject under discussion would warrant further attention, whether or not anyone has identified some grounds for deletion. The article might fail, at this time, but later move beyond the scope of failing. I don't know of reasons underlying policy as to why anyone would want to harry the progress of an article for reasons of policy, to sacrifice the possibility of greater good. Whalestate (talk) 08:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK: On its own merit, this article has none. I'm not sure what the point was of listing all those lists... do you mean that because they exist, all lists are therefore valid? Sounds like it's time to finally create List of people who have never been in my kitchen. —Мандичка^YO 😜 09:12, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I didn't know you had such a popular and interesting kitchen! perhaps you might just make that article, well, how about starting now to compile the list, and tell me when you've finished? I'll be waiting eagerly for your reply Мандичка, no need to contact me before then, since you've so much work to be getting along with. Thanks! Whalestate (talk) 21:14, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Whalestate: some decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, which is why all articles have a Talk page, and why we have a discussion-based deletion process such as this one. But we also have policies and guidelines determined primarily by WP:CONSENSUS (but sometimes handed down by fiat from the Wikimedia Foundation). WP:NOT has been a consensus-based policy since 2001 and it enjoys broad support across the project. (Consensus can change, of course, but you'll have to bring that to our Village Pump for policy, not here.) Our policies and guidelines allow any editor who finds an article about the perpetual motion machine some crank built in his garage or about how world leaders are actually lizards to mark that article for deletion and have the full support, by extension, of the project itself. So no, we don't let you write a dictionary because that's not what we're trying to do here.

And just a couple quick responses:

I haven't used the "just unencyclopedic" argument at all, and I would appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth.

The possibility that this list may become a full prose article is irrelevant. Pretend for a moment that every term gets defined, then gets context added to it, and all of a sudden we have another article on Epic of Gilgamesh. No, we don't do duplicate articles. That level of detail, if reliable sources support it, already belongs in Epic of Gilgamesh or the separate article about that term.

Yes, we have lists. I have never denied that. But lists fill a niche role, and—here's the important part—they don't overlap with existing articles. To use the top two examples from your list of lists: we have Lists of academic journals (which also contains its own sub-lists) but we don't also have a prose article about every academic journal for which we an article; and we have a Lists of important publications in science (again, with sub-lists) but we don't also have a prose article about every important publication in science. Do you see where I'm going? List of persons and things mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh currently violates WP:NOT and has significant overlap with Epic of Gilgamesh, but even with an astounding amount of work it could only ever become Persons and things mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh which is closer to our scope but would still fundamentally overlap with Epic of Gilgamesh.

So, to make a long story short (too late!), if you're interested in the Epic of Gilgamesh, your efforts would be appreciated at Epic of Gilgamesh, not a list that not only violates policies but duplicates our efforts. Again, I hope this helps. Woodroar (talk) 19:07, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Woodroar Okay, I appreciate your candour, and I see your argument has support, but it has a flaw also, this being as I see it, that there is an overlap, but I have mentioned already the presence of red links...so the chance of new development of articles not covered in the main article. Whalestate (talk) 21:16, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes and no. If you (or anyone) starts a new article on, say, The Revered Cow, then we may link to it from Epic of Gilgamesh. (It's not like Epic of Gilgamesh or any other article is truly complete, after all.) But here's the thing: our content is determined almost exclusively by reliable, third-party published sources (WP:V). The threshold for notability—that is, whether a subject warrants an article at all—is that multiple reliable sources must have written about that subject "directly and in detail" (WP:N) and that the subject isn't excluded by WP:NOT. But even within articles, we write in proportion to what reliable sources say (WP:DUE). So let's use the Revered Cow as an example. If multiple reliable sources—in this case, reputable scholars—have written about the Revered Cow, then it's probably appropriate for someone to start that article. When we look at sources, full-length books about the Revered Cow would be great, but chapters in books or articles in journals would be good as well. If these multiple sources exist, then red-linking to The Revered Cow is probably okay because the subject is notable, it's just that nobody has gotten around to creating the article yet. (It used to be more like this years ago, but not so much anymore. Most notable subjects already have an article, even if it's a WP:STUB.) If there aren't multiple sources, though, we shouldn't be red-linking because the subject isn't notable. And sometimes so few sources mention a term that Wikipedia shouldn't, either. If we were to pick 100 sources about the Epic of Gilgamesh and they all mentioned the Revered Cow in passing, then we should probably mention it in Epic of Gilgamesh. If the majority of those 100 sources went into some detail on the Revered Cow, say a few sentences or maybe a paragraph or two, then we should follow suit. But if only a handful of those sources mention the Revered Cow at all, then the subject isn't important enough to cover, even as a passing mention. What it comes down to is that we're like good journalists: we always follow the sources, summarizing what they say in proportion to what they say. Woodroar (talk) 22:36, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's true. My kitchen is amazing. I'll get to that article after I finish my pièce de résistance, List of yellow things in Memphis, Texas. —Мандичка^YO 😜 03:29, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Playing devil's advocate for a moment, I don't entirely think that it's inappropriate to bring up other list articles. While no, the existence of another list does not mean that everything merits a list, there is merit in having a page that lists the various people mentioned in the EoG. There are other articles about religious texts that list the people mentioned in the work like List of Book of Mormon people, List of characters and names mentioned in the Quran, and List of biblical names starting with A. (I'm aware that EoG was originally handed down orally, but for argument's sake I'm classifying it as a "text" for the sake of brevity.) However if this is to remain as a list page it should be a list page that only covers the people mentioned in the work and it could be re-worked to be something like List of people and names mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh. The idea of themes or concepts in a religious text has the potential to be a very, very weighty topic and could easily overwhelm a page, which is why it should not be combined with a list of people. It can also be fairly esoteric and can rely very heavily on personal interpretation, which is why it's typically encouraged for people to write sections about the concepts or themes that summarize the information as opposed to creating lists. Basically, themes and concepts can be theoretically infinite (or at least too numerous to include on a page) while places and people are finite. I can see the merit in having a page similar to this, although I do think that this needs to be refined to fall more in line with the list pages for people in the Bible, Quran, or Book of Mormon. I'm sure that you could probably find someone at one of the varied WikiProjects listed on the EoG talk page that would be willing to help with this task. I'm not opposed to helping, although I am somewhat busy due to schoolwork. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, the EoG is an extremely important work that has been covered in multiple formats: as work of literature, as a historical work, and as something that is sometimes referred to as a religious text. (Well, sort of. It's more something along the lines of The Illiad and the Odyssey, but it's used pretty heavily to teach about ancient religion. And we do have a page of Homeric characters.) This means that the characters have been covered in reliable sources to the point where many of them have articles on Wikipedia. It makes sense to have a list page for these apart from the main page for the poem itself just as much as it makes sense to have lists for characters/people from other works, both religious and literary. I'm not necessarily arguing for the inclusion of this article (unless it gets cleaned up, upon which point it'd have to be renamed) but for inclusion of a list article along the lines I've mentioned above.

Keep Well, it isn't a wikt:concordance, is it? Nor a dictionary. Wiktionary is about words whereas Wikipedia is about topics. Here we have an index of topics.

Actually from my perspective, I worked through the criticisms of User:Woodroar (and Мандичка also was a use of sorts, any input is better than none at all) to try to make a more acceptable article. At the time of the previous discussion, the article's state was more like just a straight list. The process of involvement in constructive criticism (or any criticism) served as impetus to improve the article, instead of editing becoming more lackadaisical. I have had to take a rest from editing for a while (a few days) so haven't worked on the article for a little period, and I might need to take a rest again sometime, though I'll make this article the priority while I have the energy to work on it, since it's under discussion, to find ways to improve upon it if there are any possible.

Delete. This isn't a list, it's an attempt at an article about the interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh. The place for material on the interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh is, strangely enough, Epic of Gilgamesh. If it turns out that "concepts and names" is an important enough subtopic of the Epic of Gilgamesh, then a sub-article can be branched out from the main article. As it is, though, this article is a poorly written hodgepodge, with no indication that it covers a distinct and notable topic in the scholarship on the Gilgamesh epic. In fact, it's very difficult to tell what this article is supposed to be about: the prose reads like a meandering undergraduate essay with no thesis or argumentative thread, and "concepts and names" is nebulous and sweeping. It seems as if User:Whalestate has cobbled together a bunch of sources to advance his own, idiosyncratic take on the epic--that's original research by synthesis, a violation of Wikipedia policy. In addition, Whalestate has used poor sources to create his essay--online lecture notes from a course at the American University of Beirut, lecture notes for a course at Yale for teachers in New Haven public schools, who will presumably teach excerpts of the epic in world literature classes at the high school level, and a print-on-demand translation by someone who has no apparent expertise in ancient Mesopotamia. Oh, and SparkNotes. Whatever is useful in this article could easily be put in Epic of Gilgamesh--except I don't think there is anything useful in this article that isn't already in the article on the epic. --Akhilleus (talk) 23:44, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- merging any useful content into Epic of Gilgamesh. Paul August ☎ 00:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

well I'm thinking it a rather shallow evaluation by Akhilleus.

His first statement an attempt at an article about the interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh. The place for material on the interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh is, strangely enough, Epic of Gilgamesh. If it turns out that "concepts and names" is an important enough subtopic of the Epic of Gilgamesh, then a sub-article can be branched out from the main article. indicates a reason to keep the article, should that If it turns out that "concepts and names" is an important enough subtopic. An article about the interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh is of course necessary since the main article doesn't contain any interpretation, or explanation or attempt at providing insight into what is is often regarded as the first great work of literature.

Akhilleus last comment:

...except I don't think there is anything useful in this article that isn't already in the article on the epic.

shows his lack of concern and conscientiousness in this issue, since, as I've already stated, there isn't any effort, what-so-ever to include interpretation in the main article, if he had looked for himself he would have seen this.

As it is, though, this article is a poorly written hodgepodge, with no indication that it covers a distinct and notable topic in the scholarship on the Gilgamesh epic. In fact, it's very difficult to tell what this article is supposed to be about: the prose reads like a meandering undergraduate essay with no thesis or argumentative thread, and "concepts and names" is nebulous and sweeping.

Is simply because the article is at a beginning stage, articles go through different levels of quality, that it is poorly written... other articles on wikipedia are classified poorly written, but retained, if they are valuable, in order to be improved. What grounds are there for deletion that couldn't be ignored if there were a concerted effort to improve the article? change the article title? All that is necessary is to identify whether the article is necessary, which it is, for the reasons I've indicated above (that there is nowhere any writing in wikipedia to assist the reader in understanding the Epic other than the article under debate here).

he has ignored the fact that the title might be changed to provide more meaning to the article

how many articles on wikipedia have begun which don't require improvement? Little more than a cursory glance around the most important articles on wikipedia would obviously show there isn't one article than began in a finished state, or something that needed little change.

It is easy for him to say I'm advancing my own agenda (but who in doesn't to some degree in any case? how many stereotypically altruistic monks and nuns participate in editing?) when he hasn't made any effort to contribute to the article, and so leaves me alone as the only contributor. So hastely he rushes in to condemn the article, without allowing any time for it to develop. If it turns out that "concepts and names" is an important enough subtopic of the Epic of Gilgamesh, then a sub-article can be branched out from the main article. shows he at least considers there might be some reason for the article to exist, but still thinks deletion is necessary... how so? Better to retain the article and so later merge the material into Epic of Gilgamesh if necessary, on the grounds he has indicated. It is obvious the article is necessary, or something like it, for now at least, since, how many people are familiar with the Epic and could find meaning within it without recourse to some explanation and insight from somewhere ? the article Epic of Gilgamesh doesn't contain any help in finding meaning for readers at all and is more of a structural analysis and summary of the work.

Also his indicating the criticism poor sources of these sources :

online lecture notes from a course at the American University of Beirut

- and the criticism is...? I don't see any reason to think this is a poor source. Akhilleus hasn't actually provided a criticism of the quality of this source,he stated it is poor, but how?

lecture notes for a course at Yale for teachers in New Haven public schools who will presumably teach excerpts of the epic in world literature classes at the high school level

- well, his criticism has no grounds for consideration because how does the intended use of the source disqualify the value of it?It doesn't disqualify it is the answer. The source must be intelligently written, for adult readers, so his criticism fails on this source (and it's Yale-Haven not Yale by the way).

- Oh, and SparkNotes

Sounds like someone scoffing, well, i don't concur that one editors (namely Akhilleus) personal opinion on the value of a source is sufficient grounds for devaluing the source. That Sparknotes was created by Harvard graduates at least indicates a degree of credibility, together with the fact that there is an actual wikipedia article on the site, which in itself shows they are significant enough to be included within wikipedia, but not as a source? why?

and finally my use of the print-on-demand translation source, amounts to one term < Ut-Napishtim >, which is the entire use of that source, which doesn't really indicate a crucial factor in the existence of the article, really, since that one word could just be removed.

His effort to criticise the article seem a petty effort to pick and shallowly locate any seemingly weak elements to the article, which altogether instead amounts to something which isn't constructive criticism but is half-hearted and seemingly lazily thought out. Whalestate (talk) 01:36, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

as a response to Delete -- merging any useful content into Epic of Gilgamesh from Paul August

this might very likely be a valid outcome for the article, but at this stage how is it possible to know whether it would be better to retain the article and have a briefer section in the Epic of Gilgamesh with this as the main article? until someone has made an effort to survey the existing sources to see the extent to which material exists on the subject of interpretation, or concepts, themes and ideas or the Epic, it would be too soon to pass judgement that deletion is the obvious and necessary thing to happen. Why exactly is deletion so necessary on the grounds to merge the material? since a new heading and section might be made to highlight the existence of this article in the Epic' article. This article was created on the 16th of May and only myself having worked on improving and adding to the article, I suggest giving more time to locate sources, and after an agreed time to then suggest a merge (of which there is a template for merging, and merging is a separate issue I feel, not indicating the necessity of deletion). If merge is the reason (and Paul August hasn't himself provided any reason for deletion, other than merging, then a discussion should be instigated on a merge proposal, without deletion, if merging is the only reason he could think of). Whalestate (talk) 01:51, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with using lecture notes ought to be obvious to anyone who understands how to do research on academic topics. You look for high quality sources, that is, those written by experts and published by reputable journals or presses. This ensures that the sources have undergone critical scrutiny, ideally through peer review—this way, you know not only that the material has written by an expert, but it has been scrutinized by other experts in the topic. Lecture notes don't have that kind of quality control—you have no confidence that someone who's written a lecture on the Epic of Gilgamesh has studied the text in depth, let alone its social and cultural background, or that s/he knows how to read Sumerian or Akkadian. In addition, these are notes--not a polished argument, not a fully researched treatment. It's not hard to find a better source.

The Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute is "an educational partnership between Yale University and the New Haven Public Schools designed to strengthen teaching and learning in local schools..." Simply looking at the URL for this source tells us that the materials and the program are hosted at Yale, looking farther tells us that the program is run by Yale faculty. So, yeah, it's materials written by Yale for use by New Haven teachers. And it is not the kind of peer-reviewed academic source WP:RS tells us is the best to use--in other words, we want journal articles or books by experts in the subject.

I have trouble believing that I'm seeing an editor defend the use of SparkNotes as a source. I think that speaks volumes about the care and effort that went into this "article". And yes, I am scoffing. That's the appropriate response to a type of source that I wouldn't have been allowed to use for a middle school essay.

If epic of Gilgamesh is missing material on the interpretation of the text, that suggests that the place to start including that material in Wikipedia is in epic of Gilgamesh, not in a new article whose scope and purpose is unclear. Article space is not a place for developing rough drafts or vague articles that lack a well-defined topic. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:36, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is too soon to know whether there is enough material online for the article to be greatly improved in any case, but I think the article is valid (for reasons already given in the previous response) if not perceived as very well defined. That the article is currently a rather loose effort to produce something worth-while shouldn't detract from the legitimacy of the article, because, if the article is important enough as an idea of something to provide information and knowledge to the general public, then effort should be made to reach a definition, and therefore boundaries for the article and a goal for locating material. There isn't an argument to make on the grounds of scope and purpose because the article could be redefined by a re-naming, which is simple enough. More-over, I don't perceive a lack of coherence in the material as a whole, both myself and Akhilleus (and who-ever else concerned) already know the article is about aiding understanding and making meaning apparent in study of the Epic of Gilgamesh. That sources specifically exist at all on this subject demonstrates the need for continuing with this article. In terms of the value of sources, this depends on whether further sources might be found to replace those thought insufficiently strong for inclusion, and I (or anyone else) haven't yet thought to do this.

Article about a non-notable businessman in Chicago. Fails WP:NTEMP and requirements as a politician. He owns a few burger joints and a medical supply company. He ran a long-shot campaign for Mayor and is not even remotely close to a major Presidential candidate. PrairieKid (talk) 01:23, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Wilson received substantial press coverage in his campaign for Mayor of Chicago and is receiving substantial press coverage in his run for President. Therefore it was not just one single event or "brief bursts of news coverage" as is stated in WP:NTEMP that illustrate Wilson's notability. Furthermore, Wilson was a serious contender in the race for Mayor of Chicago, and received over 10% of the vote in a 5 way race. Wilson is also notable for his gospel music program on WGN-TV, so his political activities are not his only claim to notability. --Tdl1060 (talk) 19:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - If he were only here for the FNAF games, it would be a weak keep, but finding out that he's also involved with Hope Animations changes it to a flat-out keep from me. FNAF may be his most popularly-known project, but it's certainly not the only thing he's done - Noah's Ark was in development in 2005, as an example. I will say that the article could use a lot more detail about non-FNAF things, though. And a lot more refs, but then again, what article couldn't? NekoKatsun (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that I think about it, you're right. I don't think the article really needs to be deleted, but we need more info on stuff that Cawthon has done aside from FNAF. If that were to happen, I think the article would be much better. Killerwhale24680 (talk) 19:01, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable personality and seems to have only received attention recently for a few things. Books only found one result and News found a few more (first page only, Shirlee talking about controversies) while a browser search found several more results but beware several of these were written by the subject and most of them aren't significant or in-depth. Next, Newspapers Archive found two results of the same story. Highbeam also found several results but are mostly the same story reprinted (and they also mostly seem to be authored by her) and thefreelibrary found nothing. Frankly, she's received somewhat decent attention but mostly local (despite a nationally syndicated program) and not enough to cover or improve this article. It's also fair to say that a look at the edit history shows edits like these here, here and here have never actually improved the article (adding sources, wikifying, etc.) despite adding more information thus it would be better to delete. This article has been treated more like a promotional personal page or resume rather than an encyclopedia. SwisterTwister talk 05:51, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts She's been a columnist for over 3 decades, during a time of newspaper layoffs, so I keep thinking someone must be reading her. She is consistently in local listings as a speaker (Claremont Courier-May 21, 2015

DEMOCRATIC CLUB Shirlee Smith, head of the non-profit organization Talk About Parenting, will discuss her work with incarcerated mothers.), her non-profit I have not looked up independently, but it has been going for years. Moreover, it is not accurate that there was only 1 article about her - (the profile in the Los Angeles Times), there is also The Root (magazine) Mother's Day accolade. When she got her own Cable TV talk show it was a news story. I added an alumni mag profile to source the fact that she is a UCLA grad. But I keep thinking that there must be more coverage, local papers and black papers don't show up well on searches (witness the fact that the old Los Angeles Sentinel article that I read and added, now has a broken link), I suspect that there is stuff out there that we're not seeing. So I continue to think this page is a keeper.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As suggested above, a Western officer of this rank (especially one so highly decorated) would be considered inherently notable per WP:SOLDIER and an article about them would stand little chance of being deleted. Due to the Wikipedia's general focus on online English-language sources, it's hard not to fall victim to systemic bias, but we should strive to avoid it. As a thought, is there a suitable project anywhere were we could ask Bengali speakers to try to find some more sources? Mr Potto (talk) 01:22, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Bangladesh is your best bet. I added his native name to the article (as is frequently done in Bangladesh-related articles, but not necessarily in other South Asian articles) so you can also search on your own. The Bangla coverage appears to be much like the five English-language newspaper articles already cited. Plenty of quotes whenever he commands a factory collapse rescue, and mentions every time he gets promoted or attends an event. No in-depth coverage focused specifically on him though.
