Non notable film with one questionable review. PROD was removed because "Ross Hagen is notable", but notability isn't inherited. Director is notable, but is film? Donaldd23 (talk) 23:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The notability of a director does not carry over to their movies. Wes Craven and Sean S. Cunningham, who are both much more notable directors than Hagen, have films without their own Wikipedia pages. Reel Horror itself is not any more notable than The Media Madman or Time Wars, to name other Hagen films.--HawthOffHead (talk) 2:40, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

  • Delete he is an unsuccessful candidate for congress. We have decided that the normal level of coverage these people get, even in tight races, is not enough for notability. With extremely rare exceptions we need coverage outside the context of the election and significant amounts of it to show someone notable. We do not have that here.Signed by user:Johnpacklambert. Unusual missed by signature by editor. scope_creepTalk 12:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unsuccessful candidates are generally not notable, he is no exception. SportingFlyer T·C 16:30, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Regardless of whether the election in question is a past one which the subject lost, or a future one whose final results are still pending, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not already won — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one. And the fact that the candidate can show some evidence of campaign coverage does not in and of itself get them over GNG as a special exemption from our normal practice for candidates, because every candidate in every election can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, which means every candidate in every election would always get that exemption and the rule itself would literally never apply to anybody at all anymore. So to get a candidate over the notability bar, you need to show one of two things: either (a) he already had preexisting notability for some other reason that would already have gotten him into Wikipedia anyway (e.g. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) he can show such an unusual depth and range of reliable source coverage that you can credibly claim his candidacy as much more special than everybody else's candidacies, for some reason that would pass the ten-year test for enduring significance (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But neither of those things are on offer here at all. And no, it isn't an ideological bias either, because the same rule applies to all candidates regardless of whether they're Democrats or Republicans, and regardless of whether the incumbent is a Democrat or a Republican. So, no prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins, since his notability claim will thus have shifted from "candidate" to "officeholder", but nothing here is a valid reason for him to already have a Wikipedia article today — being a clearinghouse of campaign brochures for current election candidates is not our job. Bearcat (talk) 21:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Roland was born on July 10, 1922, the son of George F. and Laura E. (Beckett) Unangst in Whitton, Illinois" [1]. (from what looks like the findings of fact in a legal case - hard to tell the context because of snippet view) "That the branch of petitioner's railroad running between Aurora, Kane County, and the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, passes through and serves an unincorporated community in Hanover Township, Jo Daviess County, known as Whitton; that said community contains a population of approximately 40 persons. [2]. Since Whitton was at one time regarded as a community, and as a place at least one person was from, it passes WP:GEOLAND as a (once-)populated place that is/was recognized as a community. −−− Cactus Jack 🌵 23:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per CactusJack. SportingFlyer T·C 03:47, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; I concur with CactusJack. I found other mentions of the community; [3] and also on a topographic map showing the nearby Hanover Bluff Nature Preserve [4]. It's obvious the place existed as a populated place. Not that these are usable sources for the article, but they do point to the existence of the place sufficient for WP:GEOLAND. It never was much of a place in terms of population, and its unlikely we'll ever get a more thorough article than this, but it certainly did exist and was a populated place. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep May have been a tiny community but still counts, meets GEOLAND. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 15:51, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, because of the obituary and case citation indicating a population, cited by Cactus Jack. I'd be interested in knowing whether this existed before the Savanna Army Depot; from the Hanover Bluff topo map (cited by Hammersoft) it appears that Whitton was basically a railroad crossing just outside of the Savanna Army Depot boundary. (Though someone claiming seriously to be "from" there is a good indicator of a real settlement, it wouldn't be appropriate to make "at least one person was from" to be an outright WP:GEOLAND criteria on its own; by that criteria, Griffiths Mobile Home Park IL to the northeast would be notable. A lot of these U.S. names come from the U.S. topographic maps via the Geographic Names Information System tagged as populated places, which doesn't make a distinction between types of settlements, and considered railroad stops to be settlements as well. HomeTownLocator is an example of a "source" that is just an automated page about each GNIS entry. We could find someone "from" the trailer park very quickly in theory, since there are still 9 trailers there.) --Closeapple (talk) 17:27, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of note; I did try to search census records from the early 1900s, presuming there was population to be reported. I ran into problems with spellings of the name, and conflicts with similarly named places (ex; Wheaton, Illinois). My search was inconclusive. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:16, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect Per WP:NSONGS. Sourcing and content mostly in the context of the album, so it’s better to be covered there. Sergecross73 msg me 23:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The song did receive independent coverage in the following sources (i.e. outside of album reviews): 1234567891011121314151617. I am sure the nominator already knows this, but I want to emphasize the WP:NSONG policy only says chart placement may be a sign of notability. The focus should be kept on whether or not this song has received significant coverage from reliable, third-party sources. Aoba47 (talk) 06:04, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the reminder Aoba47, I am aware that chart placement isn't a deciding factor necessarily however many of the sources listed above and already in the article speak about the existence of the song or the music video. This coverage could be neatly and succinctly on the album's page. As another indicator why this may not be notable, according to the page views analysis, it receives on average 8 views per day compared to the album which receives an average of 282 views per day. In terms of where people are more likely to be informed about the topic, its likely to be the album page. ≫ (Lil-Unique1) -{ Talk }- 08:36, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the response. I would slightly push back against the part that the above sources only cover "the existence of the song or the music video", as some do talk about the song's lyrics and sound and provide critical commentary. However, I will leave any further discussion to other editors. Page views are not really relevant to a conversation on notability. Aoba47 (talk) 17:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Museums sometimes do not have the money to get all the metadata for the objects they hold into searchable digital form. For example if they pay someone $25 an hour to digitize material, and they have 1000 objects that take two hours each, then that is $50,000. See this source from July 2017.

  • Keep I found a source for the VMFA collection, meaning she meets WP:ARTIST. There are also more than a few decent additional sources out there.

  • comment so I'm not firmly insisting a position for deletion at this point; however I do challenge the line of argument that appearing in an inventory of liquidation or estate sale of this nature automatically gives a Wikinotable cred to anyone and everyone who appears in an inventory list. This bankruptcy auction was notable, because of some notable contents. I would argue that it would be hinging in inherited notability, which for orgs/companies is explicitly denounced, however, other notability guidelines are silent on. This could merit further discussion elsewhere. Graywalls (talk) 18:49, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I see where you are coming from. All other !keep voters have basically agreed that the two collections (VMFA and Chrysler Museum) mean she meets WP:NARTIST. This is in line with established criteria that we apply all the time for artists. So objecting to that is to some degree rejecting established criteria.

  • Keep I'm not super-convinced, I don't like the work, and the COI editing is seriously off-putting, but there is sufficient material in reliable sources to sustain a stubby bio, and the inclusion of her work in two museum collections is supporting evidence that professionals with relevant experience in the field have critically engaged with her work (that's another way of saying that someone who knows what they're doing decided the work was important).

Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.

Hi, thank you for bringing up the suggestion to delete the article. Granted, Flesh is not the most covered artist in history. I didn't know the standard for how notability is measured on Wikipedia (I understand it better now). When I created the article, I thought that several million views on one platform alone in theory warranted a dedicated article for the artist, especially given that comments have been left on the artist's music videos requesting additional information. Of course, this is not the same as third-party coverage. That said, now may indeed not necessarily be the best time to include this article in the main namespace for the reason you mentioned. I'd be happy to hear any other thoughts on the matter. Thanks again for reviewing! Thraex64 (talk) 20:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Thraex64, pretty much any artist nowadays can get millions of views on YouTube, so it's not really anything out of the ordinary. Per WP:NOTDIR and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, Wikipedia isn't a place to just place album track listings just to provide information without context – there are plenty of other sources like Amazon or iTunes or Discogs which provide this service. Richard3120 (talk) 21:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Richard3120, understood- thanks again. Perhaps the current content can serve as a basis for a future article should the need for it arise. Sorry for the trouble, feel free to delete the article as I don't know how to.
No problem – you can read WP:MUSICBIO for the notability requirements and WP:RS to understand what kind of sources are required for an article. You can keep the content in the sandbox section in your user page to work on it there, or as a draft article, but if it's in draftspace it will be deleted after six months if you haven't worked on it. The AfD will run its course and the article will be deleted once it's completed. Richard3120 (talk) 21:27, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - In agreement with the nominator. The musician's bland name makes searching difficult, but a search for his various albums reveals no reliable coverage of any of them or the musician himself. All that can be found are his own self-promotions and social media. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:59, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DOOMSDAYER520, thank you for your input. The lack of coverage certainly didn't go unnoticed when I created the article. However given that some articles about related artists seem to be based almost entirely (if not entirely) on self-promoted sources or a type of circular-reporting, I wanted to give it a try as I've looked for the article myself on Wikipedia (and no doubt have other people). But in principle I agree that it doesn't meet the requirements to be in the main namespace at this time. In the meantime, the draft can be developed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Flesh_(musician) Thraex64 (talk) 21:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Remember that Wikipedia is an all-volunteer site, so if there are other articles with the same deficiencies as this one, that merely means that nobody has noticed them yet. If you happen to see an article that is propped up with unreliable sources, you could try to improve it or even nominate it for deletion yourself. Sorry your attempt at an article for this musician isn't working out, but you are already contributing. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable behavioural theory, once you look past the obvious COI editing. Fails WP:GNG on the following points:

  1. Significant coverage, so that original research is not required: Significant coverage does not exist (not even mentions on popsci sites, which is a low bar). We cannot write about the topic without doing original research, extracted from sources (ie the original paper, and derivatives thereof) written by the author.
  2. Reliable: failed
  3. Secondary sources: non-existent
  4. Independent of subject: It's either discussed by the author(s), or by parties directly linked to the authors (same department at the same university). Not independent.

WP:GNG certainly fails here. Also see AfD on the author: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James M. Honeycutt. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 17:57, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wall of text
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Please remove the non-notability deletion flag on this article

... and please forgive any errors I made in the process or formatting of this comment. I've never edited a wiki before and made an account specifically to object to this deletion.(here and on Honeycutt's personal page linked above page). I may not be an SPA forever, but I guess it's fair to call me that now. I am a much younger communication professor that teaches this guy's theories in multiple courses (as do lots of others). If I have a COI, it is simply that I object to the gross mischaracterizations made here (one example of many detailed below is "no reliable sources" including the study published in the top journal in the field of communication and a book that won the distinguished book award from the top academic association of this discipline.) VirtualSwayy (talk) 01:29, 21 June 2020 (UTC)


THIS THEORY IS CLEARLY NOTABLE BASED ON WIKIPEDIA GUIDELINES WP:GNG
Flagging this for deletion based on notability is completely without merit and would set a precedent for ridiculous applications of the notability guidelines which would go FAR beyond "what wiki is not: a collection of random information" and reduce Wikipedia to nothing more than the small portion of theories in any given field which are the most popular. Deleting this topic would harm many communication undergraduate and graduate students, the majority of whom are required to learn this in a Comm Theory course. See, for example, this widely used textbook by Communication super-star Leslie Baxter, in which Honeycutt's Imagined interaction Theory comprises an entire chapter. (<--- a secondary source; see below).


1. Significant coverage: PASSED.
A wealth of clear evidence of significant coverage exists. The Wiki itself cites 20 publications across MULTIPLE PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS Many more (141 publications 7 books cited 4100 times) can be found with a university library search, including a lengthy Entry in the INTERNATIONAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMMUNICATION, the flagship academic encyclopedia in the field (<--- a secondary source; see below).
This topic CLEARLY meets the significant coverage and OR requirements, which specifically state: "Primary sources may or MAY NOT be independent sources... a scientific paper documenting a new experiment conducted BY THE AUTHOR is a primary source". Exactly like the majority of the 141 peer-reviewed publications listed on this authors CV; social scientific research studies. The reliability guidelines specifically say "PRIMARY SOURCES that have been reputably published MAY BE USED in Wikipedia" and that they are "are often accounts written by people who are directly involved." That guideline is common sense, if Wikipedia were to prohibit sources which are "the original paper, and derivatives thereof", as the flag says, that literally would exclude every scientific theory in every field, because ALL good research is derivative of the original. Academic papers have literature reviews specifically to link a given study to previous studies as a replication, an extension, an or an improved research design, for example.

2.Reliable: PASSED.
The flag simply says "failed" which is not an actual argument. However, the reliability guidelines are also clearly met. It is comical to say these are unreliable! They guidelines state that "an article, book, monograph, or research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable, where the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources". So, here are but a few examples: This article in HCR, a well respected journal, won top paper when it was presented at NCA in 2012, this book won distinguished book of the year in 2006, also from NCA, the top acdemic association/conference in the United States for this discipline. In 2015, this study on imagined interactions was published in THE most prestigious journal in the field of communication. I could go on and on presenting evidence here, but then I would get accused of bludgeoning.

He meets this criteria in another totally independent way, not just the general notability, but this meets a context specific reliability criteria. Scholarship specific reliability guidelines say that we can "confirm that discussion of the source has entered mainstream academic discourse by checking what scholarly citations it has received in citation indexes. He has [4100 citations on Google Scholar!!] That's a lot in this discipline. A lot! I give a detailed analysis of why this is a lot on the personal Honeycutt page linked above.

3.Secondary sources: PASSED.
Again, the flag simply says "failed", and again, that's not an actual argument. Although many more exist, above I linked two secondary sources, the ENCYCLOPEDIA and the TEXTBOOK. They are clearly reliable under the reliability guidelines, which make plain that a researcher who publishes primary research can ALSO author their own secondary sources: [Secondary does not mean "independent" or "uninvolved".]. Wikipedia guidelines bolded that, not me! The guidelines make it clear that the EDITORIAL PROCESS ALONE CAN ESTABLISH RELIABIITY REGARDLESS OF AUTHORSHIP, which is why the guidelines say AGAIN, on the page for secondary sources, as context specific as you can get, that "[sources are not necessarily independent sources]" THE EDITORS OF THESE SECONDARY SOURCES SHOULD BE BEYOND REPROACH. The encyclopedia is published by ICA (THE TOP academic association for the discipline worldwide), and is "edited by an international team of the world's best scholars and teachers" The textbook, published by SAGE and edited by Leslie Baxter, a distinguished scholar of NCA as well as a Distinguished Professor at Iowa. who is held in extremely high regard by scholars in this discipline.

4. Independent of subject: PASSED.
The independence standard is clearly met. The guidelines exclude citing works that are a) "produced by the article's subject" or b) "someone affiliated with it". Clearly, a) can't be violated because the subject of the article is a theory and theories don't produce works. The standard in a) isn’t applicable to theories and is meant to disallow things like Bubba’s’s Auto Shop using it’s own press release that says it’s “internationally known” as evidence of notability. Also, b) is also not violated, because the guideline isn't intended to prevent citing works of researchers that are "affiliated with" the theories they research (which all researchers would be if “affiliated with” was construed to include “published on”). The standard in b) is intended to limit things like "advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website" as stated in the examples in the GNG:independence guidelines. Here the subject is an academic theory, so let's use an academic theory as an example; the Wikipedia page on the subject of "Evolution". Can we use Darwin? Not according to this deletion flag, Darwin is clearly "associated with" evolution so the standard the flag uses would disallow Darwin. What about establishing notability with something more modern, by citing H. Alan Orr, widely published on genetic adaptation? Nope. He is also "associated with" evolution so the standard the flag uses would disallow him as well, and so on, and so on, until we exclude every published expert on evolution from being used to establish that evolution meets the notability guidelines. Clearly, b) does not preclude citing James Honeycutt on the theory he published on for decades any more than it would exclude citing Darwin on evolution, and Darwin, or Orr, could write a review article that could be a secondary source for evolution, becasue AS LONG AS THE EDITORIAL PROCESS IS SOUND RESEARCHERS ARE ALLOWED TO AUTHOR THEIR OWN SECONDARY SOURCES. The guidelines literally say it in bold as the link above shows. Furthermore, as discussed above, this article’s many primary sources, which are published in reputable peer-reviewed journals, meet the OR guidelines, which specifically state: "Primary sources may or MAY NOT be independent sources... a scientific paper documenting a new experiment conducted by the author is a primary source".

Delete - The topic is probably notable, but significant portions of the article are incomprehensible. This is one of the clearer cases where an article should be blown up and started over. The collapsed argument by the SPA and the article have more or less the same quality. This does not mean that the SPA is a suckpoppet, but it may mean that the topic attracts this sort of rhetoric. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)


Let's just group these three because they are all the same. They are unexplained "votes" in the truest sense of the word. (2nd one is literally just a ditto).

  1. All of these completely punt on the issue that was flagged, notability. Hell, one flat out concedes it. Deletion for an unflagged issue violates the discussion period requirement. participants can't choose to comment on a new issue brought up late in the discussion.
  2. None of these reference ANY specific guideline that is violated and so the claims impossible to objectively judge against a wiki criteria.
  3. None of these reference ANY portion of the page so we are forced to imagine what the violation might be. This is presumably why the admin instructions say "valid arguments citing relevant guidelines will be given more weight than unsupported statements"
  4. None of these "consider alternatives to deletion" as the admin instructions ask. Alternatives are especially important here, because...

MOST IMPORTANTLY, DELETION IS NOT APPROPRIATE HERE. MESSY/UNCLEAR CONTENT IS NOT ONE OF THE CLEARLY ENUMERATED REASONS FOR DELETION [[8]].

Rebuttal to: the flag says "discussed by the author(s), or by parties directly linked to the authors (same department at the same university). Not independent."

This flag isn't even factually accurate. Even briefly Googling these authors shows that several of them are at different universities. For example, Honeycutt: LSU, Mapp: UL-Monroe, Ford: Chair at Montevallo, Keaton: Ashland University, Vickery: SUNY, Hample: Maryland, Hatcher: LA Tech, Madison: UL-Lafayette, Rold: Texas A&M. I stopped Googling there with a certainty this claim is false, but even if it weren’t, it would simply mean that the flag evidences a misunderstanding of how academic research and publication work. It is the norm for researchers in the same department to collaborate, and for Ph.D. students to publish on their advisor’s theories, both while they are students, and throughout their career as Professors.

Rebuttal to:The flag says "not even mentions(sic) on popsci sites"

Literally, so what? Why are "popsci sites" more definitive than textbooks, countless peer-reviewers and editors of multiple communication journals, and the edited, peer reviewed flagship academic encyclopedia of the discipline?

REPLY TO:*Comment - The argument by User:VirtualSwayy that "Deleting this topic would harm many communication undergraduate and graduate students" is nonsense. Either the topic is discussed in Communication Theory textbooks, or it is not discussed in Communication Theory textbooks. If it is discussed in the textbooks, it will still be in them after the article is deleted. If it is not in the textbooks, then it is outside the usual scope of study. If it is being studied because it is in Wikipedia but not in the textbooks, then it is original research, which is a misuse of Wikipedia, and is not notable. I have not reviewed whether the article should be kept. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

This is an obvious logical fallacy, called the forced-choice or either or fallacy. Things can be in textbooks AND ALSO students can benefit from supplement material, which is actually why supplementary material exist, you see? Wikipedia is usually quite accurate, at least in my discipline (communication). I don't allow citation to wikipedia in papers, but I encourage use of several wikipedia pages as supplements in intro comm. Also, there is no "IF" about it, its in textbooks, like the one I linked.— Preceding unsigned comment added by VirtualSwayy (talkcontribs)

  • Comment - The argument by User:VirtualSwayy that "Deleting this topic would harm many communication undergraduate and graduate students" is nonsense. Either the topic is discussed in Communication Theory textbooks, or it is not discussed in Communication Theory textbooks. If it is discussed in the textbooks, it will still be in them after the article is deleted. If it is not in the textbooks, then it is outside the usual scope of study. If it is being studied because it is in Wikipedia but not in the textbooks, then it is original research, which is a misuse of Wikipedia, and is not notable. I have not reviewed whether the article should be kept. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The topic is probably notable, but significant portions of the article are incomprehensible. This is one of the clearer cases where an article should be blown up and started over. The collapsed argument by the SPA and the article have more or less the same quality. This does not mean that the SPA is a suckpoppet, but it may mean that the topic attracts this sort of rhetoric.

  • Strong delete. As best as possible I've put aside my primary gut reaction at these broadcast sprays of academic logorrhea, in the article and here and at James M. Honeycutt. That reaction is impatience with my time being wasted which gradually ripens into mild disgust. Just being real. It reflects badly on LSU for one thing. With more objective coolness I believe there might be a valid idea struggling to breathe under this suffocating pile of COI & broken ideas & undeveloped writing skills but it's nobody's job to go in there and rescue it. --Lockley (talk) 19:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The very first sentence (Imagined interactions (IIs) are a type of social cognition and mental imagery grounded in symbolic interactionism in which individuals imagine conversations with significant others for a variety of purposes) is both the antithesis of clarity and a copyvio of Honeycutt and Ford (2001). Opaque copyvio continues with beneficial mechanism for operationalizing the study of intrapersonal communication. Then we get Honeycutt et al. (1989) discuss how IIs have their theoretical foundation in the work of symbolic interactionists and phenemonologists, including Mead (1934), Dewey (1922) and Schutz (1962). This is lifted from Honeycutt and Ford (2001), with the trivial substitution of "et al." for "and his colleagues". I'd fail a student who wrote a paper so dishonestly. A top-to-bottom rewrite would be necessary to save this article, supposing that the notability case can be made for it, which I doubt. XOR'easter (talk) 22:59, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable academic, once you look past the obvious COI editing (most of which was cut down), for the following reasons:

Under WP:NPROF, only (1) or (5) could possibly apply. Analysing both:

  1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.: We do not need to consider the limitations of the former "broadly construed" part, because this individual's impact cannot be demonstrated by independent reliable sources (the 2nd condition).
  2. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.: Being "Professor Emeritus" simply means retired professor. His position is listed simply as "professor emeritus" on Louisiana State University's website: https://www.lsu.edu/hss/cmst/people/faculty/JHoneycutt.php -- no reliable sources to call him distinguished. So this criteria also fails.

On WP:GNG: we fail on significant coverage, secondary sources and independence of subject (the few books on the matter are all authored by him, or he's a key contributor).

We do not give every single lecturer and/or professor a Wikipedia article. The criteria to determine the cases where an article is warranted is not met in this case.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS DELETION FLAG. IT DOESN"T EVEN PASS THE SNIFF TEST!

... and please forgive formatting or procedural errors. First day on wiki, I joined specifically bc I object to these two flags (here and on the theory page). I may not be an SPA forever, but I guess it's fair to call me that now. I am a much younger communication professor that teaches this guy's theories in multiple courses (as do lots of others). If I have a COI, it is simply that I object to the gross mischaracterizations made here (one example of many detailed below is "no reliable sources" including the study published in the top journal in the field of communication and a book that won the distinguished book award from the top academic association of this discipline.)

UNDER WP:NPROF, BOTH (1) AND (5) ARE MET.

  • has held... distinguished professor...: Flag links his faculty bio and says " -- no reliable sources to call him distinguished."

As the flag correctly states, "Being "Professor Emeritus" simply means retired professor." So what logical gymnastics moves does one use to get from there, to where it ALSO means "not distinguished". When distinguished Professors retire they become... wait for it.... Professor Emeritus. But that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is...

YOU ARE NOT EVEN READING YOUR OWN "EVIDENCE" THAT YOU LINK!!! YOUR LINK clearly states he received the distinguished faculty award at LSU in 2012. This can be verified with the office of academic affairs' HERE. Just in case you don't think a distinguished faculty award makes you a "distinguished professor", let me clear that one up. It awards "sustained excellence" and carries with it a permanent salary increase.At LSU, an award with a salary increase is classified as a "designated honorific". Recipients of designated honorifics at LSU are unambiguously and explicitly considered "distinguished professors". You should actually READ my evidence. It's really, really good, and by "my evidence" I include your link, because every link here from both you and me supports James Honeycutt meeting NPROF(5). Nothing supports your claim. NADA!


THE END! THIS UNABILGOUSLY AND VERIFIABLY MEETS THE ONLY CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE MET, NPROF(5). Please Remove the deletion flag. VirtualSwayy (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]



FOR THE DECIDING ADMINISTRATOR (or anyone interested):

Here is a detailed analysis of other objections (quoting specific guidelines and presenting evidence-based arguments that the standard is met.

This is collapsed to avoid the appearance of bludgeoning, but it contains relevant discussion nonetheless. VirtualSwayy (talk) 07:11, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As the discussion policy indicates: "the conclusion is almost never reached by simply counting votes, as [strength of argument is also very important]. The strength of these thoughtfully argued replies should be evident in comparison to the "votes" they respond to. These "votes" assert evidence-free objections with brief buzzwords ("unreliable", , "fails", "borderline") accompanied by a non-specific link to a page full of numerous, specific, and varied criteria and I guess we are supposed to assume the buzzword inherently demonstrates a violation of one or more of them. The guidelines say "A "vote" that doesn't seem to be based on a reasonable rationale may be completely ignored or receive little consideration... It is important, therefore, to also explain why you are voting the way you are."

  1. significant impact: ->

Flag says: On WP:GNG: we fail on significant coverage, secondary sources and independence of subject (the few books on the matter are all authored by him, or he's a key contributor).


Doesn't even apply. This is flat out ignoring what BOTH GNG AND NPROF EXPLICITLY SAY, which is NPROF is "explicitly listed as an alternative to the general notability guideline" and that "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: (1) It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline" (like NPROF). QUOTE: "failure to meet either the general notability guideline or other subject-specific notability guidelines is IRRELEVANT if an academic is notable under this guideline." VirtualSwayy (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY TO: * Comment ...Google scholar puts his h-index at 34.... perception that large chunks of it were written by someone with a COI.(talk) 21:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

While this is overall irrelevant since (5) is met, it may be somewhat relevant under (1), but it doesn't seem definitive, or even terribly important given that the NPROF guidelines for impact don't place value on any particular metric. If h-index was important it would say so, because it does give general and specific notes regarding the many ways to establish impact, none of which include h-index. The general notes simply indicate the standard is impact above the "average professor", a low bar which the comments [[9]] indicate he has met. Even if you place stock in the H-index, hirsch himself said 20 was good and 40 was outstanding. 34 is well above good and closer to outstanding, so you don't have to do any math once you realize that if there are some professors with BAD scores (there are), even if the average professor has a good (or even above) score, it is highly unlikely that 34 would not beat the average, so even this comment would say don't delete, this criteria is met under the "average professor test" enunciated in the general notes to NPROF.

Additionally, NPROF specific notes for criteria 1 indicate that it can be met by by a substantial number of citations. He has over 4100 citations according to the link above, which is nowhere near average. It is very high for a communications researcher. Let's be generous and just dock him the 800 citations that seem weird on google scholar, bringing him to only (LOL) 3300 citations, STILL way higher than anything an "average" professor will ever see. Here are some numbers to help you realize how much higher, put in terms of citations per article rather than a career total. 44% of publications are not cited AT ALL. Simply getting 10 citations puts you in the top quartile (top 24% actually). Honeycutt has THRITY-SIX ARTICLES OVER 25, AND TOO MANY TO COUNT IN THE TOP QUARTILE! He has 5 publications with over 100 citations, which puts a paper in the top 1.8% of papers.

Also, NPROF specific notes for criteria 1 include "contributing factors... significant academic awards and honors... may include, for example... awards by notable academic and scholarly societies". Among other awards Honeycutt has received BOTH the top article of the year award AND the distinguished book of the year award from the National Communication Association (NCA), the flagship association of the discipline for the United States (top article of the year TWICE). NCA has also awarded him top paper 12 different times. The International communication Association (ICA), the discipline's most prestigious association worldwide, has awarded him top paper 3 different times. That is so far above average that you can't even see average from up there. VirtualSwayy (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY TO: Delete – from the number of citations this is a very borderline WP:NPROF case.... lack of reliable sources....cannot be easily solved.... needs to be deleted per WP:TNT. 🍁 01:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

This is a non-specific evidence free assertion these citations lack reliability (I guess ALL of these many citations are unreliable? why are they unreliable? Maybe make an actual argument ab out the unreliability of just one or two?) In this case the [|reliability guidelines] are clearly met. They state specifically state that "article, book, monograph, or research paper that has been vetted by the scholarly community is regarded as reliable, where the material has been published in reputable peer-reviewed sources or by well-regarded academic presses. DO we have any articles in reputable peer-reviewed journals? Why yes we do! Comm Monographs is literally THE TOP JOURNAL in the discipline. Check! DO we have any, let's say, books that have been vetted by the scholarly community. Indeed! Distinguished book of the year award from the discipline's top scholarly association in the US. Check! Both are already cited on the wiki page. Need I go on? VirtualSwayy (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY TO: Delete per WP:TNT. While I think that the subject is probably marginally notable per WP:NPROF C1 and possibly C8 (although certainly not C5), the case doesn't look so strong per previous comments. The unreferenced mess that is the existing article would need complete reworking in order to be a useful article. Blow it up. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 12:25, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

There is nothing marginal about it! He IS a distinguished professor. It's an evidentiary slam dunk above! A bizarre reluctance to acknowledge that affects the credibility of your "unreferenced mess" arguments, since some may perceive it as an end-run around the slam dunk on notability.

UNREFERENCED? It has plenty of references. I address their reliability above and extensively on the [AfP page]. You literally say NOTHING about their unreliability. MESS? How? I see a introductory paragraph describing the who he is, very well delineated sections for his early education, later career, and his varied research interests, followed by sample lists of books, and then of peer-reviewed articles. It's an extraordinary claim to say that is such a "mess" it can't be fixed. VirtualSwayy (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Here is the link to his google scholar page. Google scholar puts his h-index at 34. However two of the articles that factor into that, including the single most cited article which accounts for more than 20% of his lifetime citations, don't have his name listed as an author.

This list is linked literally 10 lines of text above you, as well as linked in the very first post in this discussion, all were easily found via google. VirtualSwayy (talk) 07:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And... REFER TO ME BY MY USERNAME. "Affiliate" is a transparent and petty little attempt to assault my credibility, and an unfounded one. I disclosed my interest in this topic as the very first thing I wrote. You SHOULD be focused on the arguments rather than the user that posted them, but you will need to actually READ the discussion first.

Not only did you completely ignore the link to this list above (Quote: "It has plenty of references. I address their reliability above and extensively on the [AfP page].") but also you seem not to have read ANY of the discussion, OR the guidelines you link. IF you did you would know the reason this long list of sources is linked to another discussion. It's because the guidelines and the posts above both make it clear that in this discussion...

Your argument is COMPLETELY IRRELEVENT ACCORDING NPROF, which states that "Academics meeting any one of the following conditions... are notable" and there is 100% incontrovertible evidence at the top of this discussion, from the LSU Office of Academic Affairs that he was a distinguished professor, meeting NPROF (5). The plentiful sources below that you were "unable to find" pertain ONLY to the requirements of NPROF (1). Even if everyone conceded your argument, IT WOULD STILL BE IMPROPER TO DELETE THIS PAGE FOR NOTABILITY, EVEN IF NO SOURCES EXISTED.

  • Weak delete - the only mention of a "Ramada" in Mansfield's more than 1,000 page History of Butte County, California (1918) is a mention of "Ramada Ranch". The 8th volume of the "Western Canner and Packer" from 1916 contains two mentions of Ramada. First mention: "Planting almonds at Ramada, Butte County: In the Ramada district of Butte County extensive plantings of almonds are being made as the soil has proven to be favorable." Second mention: "Prune plantings. ... Butte County: Preliminary estimates of planting in the district about Oroville indicate that at least 700 acres will be planted this year. The largest planting will be at Ramada, where it is estimated that three hundred acres will be planted." The only thing that gives me any pause is the mention of "Ramada district". That's most likely early-20th-century agrispeak for "in the vicinity of Ramada Ranch", but there's a chance it isn't so I'm weak delete for now, in case anyone turns up evidence that the "Ramada district" was a more widely recognized farming district and not just an ad hoc reference. But it is most likely that "Ramada" is nothing more than a ranch and a nearby siding that borrowed the ranch's name. −−− Cactus Jack 🌵 00:02, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This was the subject of an Afd discussion back in the early days of Wikipedia, and was kept on the basis of a large number of variations on "I can't personally find any sources but I'm sure they exist" and nothing even remotely based on policy, even the relatively laxer policies of that time. Thirteen years later, and the purported sources still consist of a Wikipedia page, a four-sentence entry in a Boy Scouts directory, a dead link, and a single paragraph in a blog entry from 2014. I've looked—hard—for anything approaching a reliable source; while I can find a fair few mentions on blogs and personal website, I'm literally finding nothing (on either Crab soccer or Crab football) that even remotely could be considered a source for Wikipedia's purposes.  ‑ Iridescent 16:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article has somehow existed since November of 2005 and had a one source tag since 2009. However the one source is IMDb which does not meet the requirements of a reliable source. IMDb has obaque and clearly not working fact checking, and it seeks to cover everyone in what amounts to directory style, so it is not an indication of notability. Biographies of living people especially require a reliable source, but we do not have that here. John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The sourcing is very bad. Some of the link do not exist anymore (not even on wayback machine). But the real point is that there is nothing in the source that proves notability.

  • Delete. Our notability standards for porn actors at WP:PORNBIO used to be abysmally lax, so that practically every person who'd ever been in porn at all passed them by virtue of being technically verifiable in the porn industry's equivalent of IMDb. But they've since been tightened up substantially, and this guy doesn't pass them anymore. His only other potential notability claim is that he was also a single-station local radio host in a single media market, which is not an instant free pass over our notability standards for broadcasters either.

History

  1. This article was created on 9 July 2004 by user: Husnock. It had no sources — but that was not usual for articles created at that time.
  2. The {{1911}} was added 25 March 2006 by user:Fastifex
  3. The title parameter, "title=Pranger", was added on 7 May 2017 by user:DerbyCountyinNZ
  4. Today I am going through the backlog of {{EB1911}} and came to this article (Pranger) which is listed in "Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica without Wikisource reference"

As there currently is no German entry for this word (and it is a German word not an English one), there is no reason for English Wikipedia to have an an article under this name. Particularly as English language sources that mention it seem to not be certain whether it is best related to a "Scold's bridle" (EB1911) or the "Pillory" (The American Cyclopaedia: A Popular Dictionary of General Knowledge, Volume 13: Pillory).

This article was created with no sources and after 16 years there are still none (and no evidence that it is anything but a German term for something in English, so it is not a notable item in English), it is time it was deleted. PBS (talk) 14:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing is irrelevant and there is nothing pointing toward notability.

Reviewed as part of NPP. I kind of wanted to keep, this is the sort of article I like, but I can't see how it meets NBUILDING (for the building), NCORP as a business, or plain old GNG. Current sourcing is a 404 link to a commercial website, a listing in a directory, a brief mention in a local newspaper article about a fire at the building, and a brief mention in a local newspaper article about a spooky encounter at a hen do there. I've checked sites like Historic Environment Scotland and Canmore to see if they have anything, but all I could find was a passing mention in Canmore's description of the nearby (and similarly named) Coylet Hotel, a related but separate archaeological site. Can't find any better sourcing, so I can't find a route to notability. GirthSummit (blether) 13:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A number of additional sources have now been added to the article; however, none of them gives any significant detail about the hotel, the details are all about the ghost story associated with it, and the fact that a film was made about the ghost. From all of the combined sources, all we can say about the hotel itself is that it exists, that Emma Thompson had a wedding reception there, and that it is a 17th Century coaching inn (and that last one is rather dubious - none of the sources are RS for architectural details, and from what I can make out from the pictures it looks much more recent - it's possible that there was merely a coaching in on the site in the 17th C, or that some of the fabric of the current building is old, but without a good architectural source I wouldn't be comfortable with that description). I would be happy to withdraw the nomination if a decent description of the building could be found in an RS like a Pevsner, or if some descriptions of the hotel itself were found (in the form of reviews) in RS, but at the moment I would suggest a possible merge and redirect to The Blue Boy (film), which covers the film made about the ghost story (which is really what the substantial sources are about). GirthSummit (blether) 10:08, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Just noting that I have now managed to get my hands on a copy of FA Walker's book on the region (part of the Pevsner series of architectural guides). It has descriptions of several buildings on the shores of Loch Eck, but this isn't one of them. This strengthens my view that the inn isn't notable as a building - those books are pretty comprehensive in their coverage. It could in theory still be notable as a hotel if there were multiple reviews in RS that would satisfy NCORP, but I'm not seeing them. GirthSummit (blether) 09:30, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus, with no prejudice against speedy renomination per low participation.

Some notes: it seems unlikely that this film is a hoax, as evidenced by the film having a page on Rotten Tomatoes (here) (although there are no critic or audience reviews), and having received some coverage in some publications, such as Medium (here), despite this being essentially a reprinted press release. Furthermore, the article does not qualify for WP:G5 speedy deletion because it was created before its creator was found to be socking. Also, please note that these side notes are not an !vote within this closure. Rather, they are just notes to address some aspects of the nomination for deletion.

WP:HOAX and WP:NOTPROMO, no mention in any RS or verification that this film even exists. Created by the same sock farm that made the now twice AfD'd Rana Abrar (the director here) article. Other promotional articles (now deleted) for non-existent films by the same sock farm include: Son of Kashmir: Burhan, The Evil Marriage. A prod was removed without any improvement to the article (adding simply references to editable databases). I cannot find a single RS which reviews it or even verifies the existence of this film besides trailers. Gotitbro (talk) 13:13, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • If the film doesn't exist, then the article should definitely be deleted. But after a quick Google search, there is actually a lot of websites that cover this film. Sam1529 (talk) 05:03, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This film has a lot of media coverage and it is a notable topic, you can just see by searching on Google. There are many controversies on this film which is why it is known by many people. There are many ratings and reviews from large film and media agencies on it. Just because pages related to it got deleted doesn't make this film less notable.

These pages are being removed by those who are against the movie of another controversial film "Son of Kashmir: Burhan" which is also a very notable film as its news was aired on famous Pakistan and Indian News channels but it got removed out of animosity of those who opposes the topic of the film.

One can search about Dajjal Film and see its presence on media is very notable. A speedy deletion of this film has been rejected just a month ago which was made by the same person who is now putting it for deletion again and again.--JonnyK.2 (talk) 08:24, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article was previously proposed for deletion on the basis that there wasn't a peer reviewed trial. Whilst that is not a good reason in its own right, there are a lack of appropriate sources for this technique. No textbooks in the field of pain management describe the technique, no sources from people who are not the article's author support the existence/common practice of the technique. Several of the claims are dubious or pseudoscientific, wikipedia seems to be a major outlet for the spread of the beliefs with no independent outlets. The main author of the page previously tagged each medical entry in neuropathic pain and created a host of other unreliable content with this dubious medical practice. The article describes original research and none has been removed over 9 years since the first objections raised about the page. PainProf (talk) 17:28, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEP This article is currently a work in progress. Many certified therapists of pain are trying to improve it at the moment so it can be clear and helpful for patients suffering from neuropathic pain while respecting the Wikipedia policy in the meantime.

You mention the lack of secondary sources. Here are two articles that could help you understand the method while respecting MEDRS. [1] [2]

CSTP.SB (talk) 00:54, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific review articles conducted by groups without COI are the secondary sources we need. The Bouchard article above is promotional material published by ENewsSomatosens, an online blog promoting the therapy whose editor in chief is Spicher. The Morier article describes one clinical group's success with the "Spicher method" which it describes as "internationally renowned," no doubt because Wikipedia has for more than a decade permitted this promotional article to exist, despite lack of scientific backing or even scrutiny for the method. HouseOfChange (talk) 19:02, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Medicine, surgery and rehabilitation are not hard science. In Europe, we are stil using the expression lega artis when we are describing the results of the clinical examination signs. In 1996, Sackett in the British Journal of Medicine (BMJ) from the University of Oxford proposed the evidence-based medicine. In 2020, a concensus consider this scale as the best manner to assess the quality of a treatment. To treat Complex regional pain syndrome's patients, the use of somatosensory rehabilitation of pain got a level 2c of evidence (Packham et al., J Hand Ther 2018). This study in clinical practice (Cohen's index = 1.64) was a part of her PhD Thesis https://macsphere.mcmaster.ca/bitstream/11375/20621/2/packham_tara_l_201609_PhD.pdf. The director of this thesis was Prof Joy McDermid https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joy_Macdermid. She is as well the Editor-in-Chief ot the journal of the American society for Hand Therapy https://www.jhandtherapy.org/ Motor imagery is another program to treat this patient. Quintal, I., Poiré-Hamel, L., Bourbonnais, D., & Dyer, J.-O. (2018). Management of long-term complex regional pain syndrome with allodynia: A case report. Journal of Hand Therapy, 31(2), 255-264. doi:10.1016/j.jht.2018.01.012 proposed a treatment with both of them Spicherc (talk) 12:38, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is important to point out that the consensus is that 2c refers to the level of evidence that can be obtained from the study, it does not mean the study is high quality. Secondly, 2c refers to one the study itself not the therapy, it does not mean that this therapy now has strong evidence it means you have a chart review and case studies. Regardless it is a primary source. Therefore claims should not be made about efficacy in the article. Realistically, there is little-no evidence of the efficacy of this method. Finally, it appears the author misinterpreted the scale, there is no control group in the study, so the study is an actual fact an uncontrolled case series, this would give level 4 evidence on a 5 point scale. Some of the comments on the article page have made me further realise the article as present is exceptionally problematic, one therapist said the article is important because it helps patients get in touch with people who can help. Either way the author has not demonstrated substantial coverage in sources that meet the strict definitions of medical sources on wikipedia, whilst it is possible that it will meet this standard in the future, it doesn't at present because the sources don't exist. If there is substantial coverage by many unrelated authors either negatively or positively this could merit an article. PainProf (talk) 13:58, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FAKENEWS PainProf, how can you, alone, pretend to know better the evidence-based medicine than, all of these experts of this topic: Prof Joy McDermid, PhD, PT (McMaster University - Canada), Susan Michlovitz, PhD, PT, Norman Buckley, MD FRCP (Mickael DeGroote Institute for Pain Research and Care – Canada), Prof Tara Packham, PhD, OT (McMaster University) and the anonymous reviewers of the Journal of Hand Therapy and Eve Chaput, pht, MClSc (Manipulative Physiotherapy), FCAMPT, BSc (Physiotherapy), BSc (Speech-therapy), lecture (University of Montreal - Canada), Prof Joseph Omer Dyer, PhD, PT (University of Montreal), Prof Sibele de Andrade Mel Knaut (Phd, PT (UNICENTRO, Brazil), Giorgio Pietramaggiori, MD, PhD (Universities of Lausanne – Switzerland - and Padova - Italy) and the anonymous reviewers of e-News Somatosens Rehab and the scientific comittees and the whole participants of several congresses (Paris, Montpellier, Osaka), where these informations have been communicated without any controverse. Conclusion: Level of evidence-based practice to treat CRPS's patients: 2c Spicherc (talk) 11:24, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One PhD thesis whose dedication fulsomely thanks Spicher as "Thank you to Claude Spicher, teacher and trailblazer" is not evidence of independent third-party scrutiny of this medical treatment. Neither is the existence of a website run by Claude Spicher and devoted to articles that praise and promote his method. Let me also point to the userpage of Claude Spicher which promotes him and his therapy and then says "I report no conflict of interest." HouseOfChange (talk) 16:56, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations HouseOfChange You have made more than 4,000 contributions to Wikipedia. However, I am not sure that this honorably gold medals gives you the autorization to accuse me of a conflict of interest. I assume my ressponsabilities. our daily activities in clinical practice with neuropathic patients are registered in a data base with the autorization of the Swiss Association of Research Ethics Committees https://swissethics.ch

Our community of pratice proposes informations to neuropathic patients who have much difficulties to survive - thir life have no colour anymore. Their first complain: restless nights for ages: months, years, even decades. I am an occupational therapist and in Switzerland, in the Netherlands, in Canada, in our rehabilitation field, we have the ability to choose the best NON-pharmacological treatment which corresponds the best to the patient and its values. We are NOT promoting this physical treatment. We are giving them the opportunity to interrupt their neuropathic pain. This method is NOT the Spicher's method at all. We are trying to build bridges between rehabilitation, medicine and neurosciences. For this reason some of my 54 co-authors are occupationnal therapists, physiotherapists, Medical Doctors (neurologists, surgeons, pain doctors, etc.), anatomists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and so on. https://unifr.academia.edu/ClaudeJSPICHER Spicherc (talk) 15:33, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Claude, it is best to to avoid ad hominem statements in general, I try my best to avoid them in all debates. I think HouseOfChange's point is that it could be perceived that you have a conflict of interest if you don't mind I cite here the ICMJE guidelines which I feel are fair in general. http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/author-responsibilities--conflicts-of-interest.html. I understand this might not be wikipedia's policy but I believe they are functionally similar, but I hope you understand that running/owning/operating a clinic, receiving book royalties or charging fees for the training of this technique can be perceived as a conflict of interest. I do notice that some of the links in the bibliography are to amazon pages. People could argue that this is an attempt to sell books on the topic, I do not know the specifics of your deal with the publisher, but it could be perceived that a motivation for the page is to sell these books. Similarly, linking to your own websites which have details for yourself, your training, etc could be perceived to have a financial motive to funnel patients to certain therapists or to advertise training. As you have published books, and a blog, and own/operate a clinic/training courses, there is a financial incentive for you. I would recommend you declare this as a conflict of interest, noting that this doesn't preclude you from editing, but should be allowed to be taken into account by other editors. Similarly, it is an important factor in this deletion discussion. I would similarly ask any editor who has received speaking fees, royalties or grants from the pharmaceutical industry to declare this so I do think it is a fair and collegial request. Cheers PainProf (talk) 16:23, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
fair and collegial

You are too funny anonymous Professor-post-doctoral-in-philosophy-fellow, Dear fe·male, gosh, YOU are asking me to be “fair and collegial”? you are making me laugh.

Boris Cyrulnik one of the most clever and alive man in the world wrote that: “a numeric relationship is impossible.”

The only one thing that you know about you is that you dislike the “foreign languages” and that you are a native English speaker. Are you a professor of philosophy from the Wales, are you a Scottish postdoctoral fellow in biomedicine, are you an unemployed person who never published any article apart from her·his thesis? No idea.

What we know is that, since May 20, you are trying to destroy a work of hundreds engaged clinicians. Why? What is your motivation? No idea. What our community of practice knows is that business is NOT the only value in the world. Do YOU really want to talk about money on wikipedia? Do you know that in Europe, especially in Switzerland, it would be considered very rude? In Europe, perhaps NOT in Australia, to swear the hand on the Bible, would be an unappropriate manner to say that: “I declare no conflict of interest”? However, I do it. I am working in several different Universities, and fortunately, I exactly know what a conflict of interest is. Dear anonymous Professor-post-doctoral-in-philosophy-fellow from New-Zealand, may I tell you, that in Europe, to publish in French a book cost a lots of money? Between the 3rd and the 4th edition of Somatosensory Rehabilitation of Pain in French, 40 members of our community worked very hard during five years. Some of us waked up at 5 a.m. some others went to bed after midnight. And, could you believe that, Dear anonymous Professor-post-doctoral-in-philosophy-fellow from British Columbia, they didn’t receive any dollars for this job. Nothing. What is their motivation? To decrease pain of the patients, that they are, anyway, obliged to welcome with attention, hours after hours, as clinician. These patients who are fighting NOT to suicide because they are not sleeping anymore for 10, 100, or even more than 1000 restless nights.

As I started with him, I will conclude, as well, with Boris Cyrulnik – who published about 30 books in a foreign language: “It is hard to say ‘no’ when one opposes a greater number. It is also critical as one finds himself in the role of the offender. By saying that the Earth is round, whilst we clearly see it is flat, we stand as a deviant, almost abnormal. The statement is considered profane if the inference conflicts with the Literature. He who could think such a thing should be burnt at the stake.” (Cyrulnik, 2016) קלוד ספישר~ Spicherc (talk) 20:02, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Claude, I think per WP policy remaining anonymous is not a problem. I disagree with the characterisation that I dislike foreign languages, I kindly ask that you withdraw that statement. I prefer not to make personal attacks, my comment is perhaps unclear and taken in the wrong way, I think there is a perception of a conflict of interest, sometimes this can be as important as a conflict of interest. Much in the same way a perception of underlying tissue damage can be just as important as underlying tissue damage. I in no way mean to say that you are not doing what you think is right, and indeed you might be helping lots of people, but we need the evidence. My personal belief is that even spending sufficient time with a patient, fully understanding their concerns can help, and even placebo treatment can be very powerful in relieving pain and we know that a treatment administered in the context of a therapist where there is really active involvement such as in acupuncture can be more effective than a placebo pill (but just as affective as sham acupuncture), this is really why I'm trying to push for the evidence here. And, I hope that however this goes, you are encouraged to find clinical collaborators to pursue independent RCT, comparing your treatment to a sham. Regardless, this is off topic and not a useful line of discussion, the most important thing for the article is to find independent sources and reviews. Here is what I have found for you for citations so far:
https://app.dimensions.ai/discover/publication?search_text=claude spicher&search_type=kws&search_field=full_search&and_facet_researcher=ur.014153021553.44&order=times_cited
I believe this only accounts for pubmed/medline. Could you please point us to more independent sources that cite your work.
Cheers,

  • Absolutely delete, WP is not the place for legitimizing a pain management method that has not been independently scrutinized by multiple recognized research bodies. A treatment whose claims for efficacy rely at all on curated patient testimonies is already dubious; if the method worked, it would be supported by positive (deidentified) patient treatment outcomes assessed through objective, pre-defined measures. These would ideally be demonstrated through RCTs conducted by disinterested researchers. I am not seeing evidence of this for SRP, and the fact that the primary means of reporting case studies is a self-published WordPress blog pretending to be an academic journal speaks volumes against its legitimacy.

  • Keep: there are reviews on AllMusic [24]] and in Record Collector magazine [25] as well. Richard3120 (talk) 15:32, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: it's worth mentioning that many of those references appear to only mention the collection in passing, spending most of their time on the albums and songs, which are more than adequately covered in their respective articles (and all of them have respective artciles). Stuartyeates (talk) 21:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Err.... how do you describe a collection without talking about the albums and the songs in it? The reviews are explicitly reviewing the collection though, as they discuss the remastered sound etc. FOARP (talk) 07:25, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did a reasonably thorough (IMO), including Newspapers.com, and came up with only one source that meets WP:CORPDEPTH: This one, from Canadian Business. The other three that are mentioned on the talk page are not suitable. The one from American Horse Publications is bylined to the company, the one from Horse Journals is a short fluff post about a new saddle that reads like a press release and lacks a byline, and the EDC "is a Crown corporation dedicated to helping Canadian companies of all sizes succeed on the world stage," so it isn't independent when making blog posts about its own clients. I found nothing else on a search that meets CORPDEPTH (particularly keeping in mind WP:AUD, which requires topics to have garnered attention in general-audience media, not solely niche and/or trade publications). ♠PMC(talk) 07:29, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep - a quick look in ProQuest yields all sorts of hits, over a very extended period of time. There's a very extended piece in the April/May 2003 issue of Profit (magazine). There's a long article in the September 13, 1993 Toronto Star on the front of the Business section (Page C1) with a large photo of the Sabines in it, continued to Page C6. There seems to be an extended piece in the November 1988 Moneywise magazine in the Financial Post, although I can't get the text. In the June 13, 1991 Toronto Star is an extensive piece about Jochen Schleese, which would count to his notability as an equestrian, and does discuss his saddlery business. And then there's a lot of other stuff, such as a November 2001 mention in Chatelaine, and a short piece in the May 12 1997 Globe and Mail on page B5. There's no doubt that the article needs improving, but there's no doubt that GNG is made - and I didn't find the 2014 Canadian Business article you found - which makes four very good sources, probably five with the Financial Post article. Newspapers.com is very foreign - it doesn't seem to cover most papers and magazines. Could User:Premeditated Chaos review this AFD further, and consider withdrawing it?

Wikipedia is not news and this parade seems to have no long-term impact. There is no indication that this event will have a lasting effect. There is some coverage of Belarus flaunting coronavirus guidelines by holding the parade in sources like the BBC, but to merit a stand-alone article it would need to be demonstrated that the parade had a long term impact or was in some way far more notable than a routine parade, which is not established in the article or in any sourcing I could find.

  • Comment I think this AFD raises a valid larger issue of whether pages should be created for all these Victory Day Parades when there seems to be little inherently notable about most of them. I understand having pages for years when major new weapons systems were revealed or where there was some wider historic or international context, but otherwise I don't see their notability despite whatever brief SIGCOV they may achieve in RS.

Places called "landings" in GNIS are almost never notable, and this isn't an exception. The oldest topo maps put the label on the opposite site of the river; more recent maps move the label to the east, next to a pair of (apparently no longer there) buildings on the river bank. Then the river moved, and now there is a "Merrill's Landing Wildlife Area" encompassing the area between the river and its old bed.

Article about a transnational one-off television special, not properly referenced as passing WP:TVSHOW. The footnotes here are one participant's own self-published filmography on her own website, the self-published website of its own production company and an IMDb profile of a different show only tangentially related to this one -- but the notability test for TV shows hinges not on verification of existence, but on verification that it got media attention from journalists, and there's none of that being shown here at all. Further, the article completely fails to mention a critically important detail that any article about a TV show always needs to mention: when did it air?

@SportsOlympic: being 'named' in an article isn't enough to satisfy GNG, there needs to be significant coverage. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:37, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I know, but if you could have seen, the BBC article is not only “named”. It’s an article about her, including title, of the main news media of the UK. SportsOlympic (talk) 14:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@SportsOlympic: WP:INDEPTH says the coverage must include "analysis that puts events into context, such as is often found in books, feature length articles in major news magazines". The BBC article just reports the results of her two matches, with no such analysis. Neither is it WP:SECONDARY coverage - it doesn't tell us what the writer thought about per performance in the matches, there's no analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts.

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

This remains mostly in universe - the kind of thing I would love to be at Memory Alpha but not what we demand of the articles for our fictional characters. I do not believe that there is enough of the right kind of coverage in sources to suggest notability. The coverage that includes Reed is instead things like lists of characters or general coverage of Star Trek Enterprise. There is no doubt we should have coverage of Reed in Wikipedia just not as a stand alone article. This should, instead, be a redirect. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:05, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Wow, going after primary cast of a Star Trek show? Dramu is incoming. The article is in a very bad shape, through this is not an issue at AfD. The current references are garbage (in passing/PLOT). Nonetheless despite what some may think, I am not out there pinning for every fiction article to be deleted, and Star Trek does tend to be written about. Here's what I found: 1) Duncan Barrett; Michèle Barrett (5 August 2016). Star Trek: The Human Frontier. Routledge. pp. 236–. ISBN 978-1-315-51648-6.: one paragraph about the character's sexuality 2) [40] low-tier academic article with a sentence of analysis 3) that's it as far as scholarly analysis go. I was hoping to find something to save it, but I could not. I expect of course we will get the usual link farm of plot summaries from news, blogs and like; maybe there will be few hidden gems, enough to rescue this - ping me and I'll review sources presented when that happens. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    FWIW I compared the sources for this to characters for TNG and DS9 and, on the whole, found much better footing for those characters. Unsurprising given the popularity/longevity of those series compared to Enterprise. This analysis matches the sort of coverage you found of him in a book on Star Trek. I'm guessing that lots of sources will be brought to bare. I look forward to being shown notability and proven wrong. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:05, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete a non-notable fictional character.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Because there's more than the secondary sources already mentioned by User:Piotrus. The twilight of identity: Enterprise, neoconservatism, and the death of Star Trek also comments on the character's sexuality. Gender and Sexuality in Star Trek: Allegories of Desire in the Television Series and Films describes and comments on a scene involving the same topic on p. 45 and comments on the character as a whole on p. 123. Using Superheroes in Counseling and Play Therapy gives a one-sentence-characterization on p. 248. Star Trek: A Cultural History on p. 32 briefly describes his development. That's what I have found within limited time. Then there's the online articles already present in the article. And a great many more secondary sources that give plot-summary information. So even if none of these sources is extremely long, taken together this should meet WP:GNG. Daranios (talk) 15:09, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, this character fails GNG per Piotrus. The sources brought up by Daranios is insufficient per his own admission, “Let’s just add all the passing mentions together” is not how SIGCOV works. Imagine if we did that for articles on companies. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:21, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The character has passing mentions in many secondary sources. The ones I have chosen, however, all have some analysis/evaluation within them, so they are not passing mentions. "insufficient per his own admission" is a misrepresentation of what I wrote. If SIGCOV does work differently than I think, please point me to where it says "significant coverage has to be within one source, other sources have to be discounted". Image how much smaller and poorer Wikipedia would be if we did that overall. Daranios (talk) 07:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A sentence long analysis is the very definition of a passing mention. You cannot combine passing mentions from different sources to make “full” sources, that’s not how SIGCOV works. Also, SIGCOV is at least a paragraph of coverage, and in reality is almost always more than that. You have consistently misrepresented sentence-long coverage as significant. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:57, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
1) If a source contains analysis, that's not trivial, no matter the length.
2) Some of the eight sources found so far have only one sentence, some have more.
3) You tell me that that's not how SIGCOV works. Please show me in the guidelines, so that I know that that's indeed what the community has decided, and not your interpretation of it. Daranios (talk) 10:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is an actual definition of a passing mention, and that's not it. WP:GNG says, "Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band." That's not one sentence of analysis, it's mentioning that something exists while you're talking about something else. — Toughpigs (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NEXIST: I've found another brief discussion of the character in a newspaper article, "'Star' power" by Bridget Byrne, Associated Press (Sept 2001), saying that the actor is uncomfortable playing "the gunman" in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I do think that many sources with a small bit of information about character development and analysis each can be used to assemble a worthwhile article and demonstrate notability. — Toughpigs (talk) 15:09, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As mentioned several times above, there is a lot of passing mentions of the character, but no real significant coverage in reliable sources that actually demonstrates independent notability. Being a major character in a notable show is not automatically a guarantee of independent notability without significant coverage in reliable sources, which Malcolm does not have. I was initially going to suggest that it should be used as a Redirect to either Star Trek: Enterprise or List of Star Trek characters, but I think Malcolm Reed (character) would be the more proper name for a Redirect.
