Keep. The Guardian is not chopped liver, and to have been featured in Andy Warhol's Interview magazine indicates it is among "some of the world's biggest celebrities, artists, musicians, and creative thinkers" (what Wikipedia says). That's no high school garage band. --do ncr am
Keep - I found a couple of 2013 articles: Rebel Rock and Indie Pop and Dance s Headline Milk Festival via Questia (subscription required) in the Sarasota Herald Tribune that mention this band being the headliner at the Harvey Milk Festival in Sarasota. From 2014 is the sfgate (Hearst Communications) review of the band style. This article was just started.

Stripe (company)

Keep. This company is hugely notable in the software space and start-up world, considered a huge success and powering many other businesses. Just for one peek at this, see their page on CrunchBase. They are notable enough that over twelve hundred *users of Crunchbase* have starred or favorited this company, for example. Stripe is also referred to as a success story, making it something that readers will want to look up on Wikipedia for years into the future. Here is an example I just read, by chance, today: (analysis of why Parse is closing down — mentions Stripe as a success story). --X883 (talk) 23:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC) — edited for formatting / explicit vote --X883 (talk) 18:21, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and I would've nominated it myself also as the current coverage and overall article seems questionable for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 22:56, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Notability in "the software space and start-up world" doesn't equal notability in the greater world. Wikipedia is not a business directory. This company is not remarkable in any way and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Chisme (talk) 05:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. while the current article text isn't particularly compelling, I feel the topic is sufficiently notable Cariaso (talk) 08:04, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree with Cariaso that the current article text is questionable, but there exist more than enough reliable, independent sources that the topic meets the Wikipedia:Notability criteria. (I once added a reference to an essay by Paul Graham that discusses Stripe and implies that Stripe is remarkable,[1] but later someone deleted that reference.[2]). --DavidCary (talk) 05:03, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The absence of references in an article does not indicate that a subject is not notable. If significant coverage can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate. Notability is not temporary, it does not need to have ongoing coverage, in this page we have ongoing coverage. It has attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time.

Editing of anime in American distribution

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

This article is in a very bad condition. It is full of trivia and is rather unencyclopedic. Some of the sections are completely unsourced. It was nominated once before, but no improvements have been made since early 2008. DodingBeast (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep While the article does need major help, the subject meets the notability guidelines. Opencooper (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep As stated the subject is extremely well covered in reliable expert sources, and has been since the very birth of anime fandom. There is more than enough sources already attached to show this. The issues of content itself can all be largely resolved by simply removing entire blocks of material so we can assess what is left. As much as we could nuke it and start again, we can also start that process by hacking away at the material which is causing the issue. I'm pretty sure I can do that first part at least.SephyTheThird (talk) 23:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've started the process, however I can only do so much on a tablet so will continue later. I'm being quite aggressive, some things I recognise and can be sourced but leaving them in just in case they get fixed later wouldn't be solving the issue. I'll see about leaving a list on the talk page of possible additions.SephyTheThird (talk) 23:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article is now almost half the file size. I've removed a lot of the obvious trivia, statements supported by fansites and statements making obvious WP:OR comparisons and conclusions. There is surely more that could come out but it's no longer excessive and will naturally be changed through development of that page. I'll look into some source articles for long term editing but this article was fairly easy to start cleaning up. There is no need to delete it.SephyTheThird (talk) 02:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It needs some cleanup for sure, but it's a very notable topic in relation to anime, which is a big industry. 72.196.117.242 (talk) 01:03, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2016 Masters Champions League

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

Apparently MCL is a tournament for "retired cricketers" and according to main article The players must all have been former international cricketers. So it seems like it is just an exhibition tournament with not enough notability for season articles. The notable content can be included in main article.

Keep Its a proper tournament and its 10 year tournament so how many seasons you will cover in one article? also i have corrected your spelling mistake "retired *cricketeers" GreenCricket^TALK 10:16, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The notable content (not all content) could be kept in the main article. Like a table of winners and runners-up. Qed237 (talk) 12:20, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: What is the point of creating an individual article for a season in a sports league that consists of entirely retired players. These guys are no longer professional and these games don't have any major significance past this tournament. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 06:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Retired players meaning that the players are not available in international arena only. Most of players are still active in domestic tournament like Indian Premier League and Big Bash League. Tournament organisations are hoping to continue in next year too. So I stand with keep the article. (Price Zero (talk) 07:29, 6 February 2016 (UTC))[reply]
Keep The tournament has become quite popular. The article will provide useful infomation to the cricket fans.--সাজিদ রেজা করিম 16:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While I agree with some of the nominator's concerns, this is getting significant international coverage, and easily meets our notability criteria. Harrias ^talk 14:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: My initial thoughts on this are that it should be merged into the Masters Champions League. To clarify a point above, GreenCricket says it is a "10 year tournament". To be specific, the organizing committee has been granted a 10-year licence. This is the first season and there is no guarantee there will be a second. Until such point in time that there are multiple tournaments each with their own coverage, then there is no purpose in having separate articles. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:12, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If merge article it'll be used more space. And it can be difficult to understand useful point.(Price Zero (talk) 09:52, 8 February 2016 (UTC))[reply]

Are you sure? Look at the current contents of Masters Champions League. The only things different/not in the "2016" article are the lead, 5 sentence of history and the 8 "key people". Merging that small amount of information with the 2016 article will not be "difficult to understand" if done properly. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 09:59, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No one can predict about future of any league..if league disestablished then merge it like it happens with Champions League T20 GreenCricket^TALK 11:00, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have it the wrong way around. We should have it merged first because right now there is only one league; there is no prediction involved in making that statement. Then, we can split in the future if there is too much information to be contained in a single article. Working on an assumption that there will be ten seasons just because there is a contract for ten years violates WP:CRYSTAL. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: While their is talk of removing it, I agree on what the nominator is saying but its worth keeping to see if it last another year and if not, then remove it. Matt294069 is coming 05:36, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistan's Top 10 Hackers

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

Contested PROD. If not a hoax, this is totally non-notable. "WHA" was said in early versions to be the "World Hacker Association", about which I can find no reference but this content-less page. The link provided goes to Computerworld, where I find no mention, even when you search the site, of WHA, or of Muhammad Aanish Ayaz, the supposed winner. Searches found a list of Top 10 Pakistani Hacker Teams, but it bears no relation to this.

The article history shows a number of IPs tinkering with the names on the list and their order, which strongly suggests that there is no official announcement, just a bunch of guys playing games. The supposed winner, who was only second in the first version of the article, has been trying to post about himself here at Muhammad Aanish Ayaz Farrukh and User:Aanish Ayaz.

Yamaha FZR250

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

Insufficient sources to meet notability guidelines, per WP:PRODUCT: "Avoid creating multiple stubs about each individual product PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator, Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, R-36 Explosive Space Modulator, etc.) especially if there is no realistic hope of expansion.".

This group of Japanese 4-cylinder, 250 cc four stroke motorcycles, including the FZR250, Honda CBR250, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-2R, Suzuki GSX-R250, Suzuki GSX250FX, Kawasaki Balius, and Yamaha FZX250 have hung around with notability questions for 5+ years. We have passing mention in sources like a 200-word Cycle World (August 1991, p.39) sidebar that verifies only that a bike exists, but tells us virtually nothing about it. Without sources to base the content on, we have nothing but original research and questionable info cribbed from fansites and forums. These bikes have been a subject of fascination, no doubt, but the existence of these Wikipedia articles implies a level of reliability to the data that is unjustified. Better readers should google this information in a forum post, or personal we page and caveat emptor.

It looks to many editors that our policy is to create one article per motorcycle ever made, and it's understandable why you would think that. @The Bushranger: has said "Per long-standing WP:CONSENSUS, individual models of motor vehicles are notable provided they meet WP:V." I'm not sure if they still feel that way, but it is a reasonable point of view. The problem is I can't find any basis in policy or guidelines for that, and the problems it creates -- having many motorcycle articles with zero reliable sources -- are best solved by either deleting or redirecting to List of Yamaha motorcycles etc.

My previous search for AfD consensus on this issue is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yamaha FZ700, where from what I can tell, motorcycles must meet WP:GNG just as much as a toaster or hamburger stand, i.e. WP:PRODUCT. If not, how would that work, exactly?

By the way, a few years ago Motorcycle Consumer News wrote a long feature about the Japanese graduated licensing system that was responsible for the existence of these 33kW-limited learner bikes. That subject, the licensing scheme and its effect on JDM motorcycles, would be a good article topic, though again with woefully little reliable information about the actual bikes themselves.

Delete all 6 - I agree with the nominator. This seems like a textbook case of WP:PRODUCT. There's no significant coverage of these models, and the parent company page for the four motorcycle manufacturers are not nearly long enough to justify splitting off for an individual page. They can be adequately covered in those pages. FuriouslySerene (talk) 20:30, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: @Dennis Bratland: I'm pretty sure the "make+model=notable" is a case of WP:EDITCONSENSUS as opposed to anything written down. However, I'm not sure how applicable it would be to motorcycles - they're a bit out of my experience area and, while Yamaha certainly doesn't qualify as such, are a lot easier for "one guy in a garage" to churn out a few for his buddies, as opposed to an automobile, so... No opinion on these, although I will note that they should probably pass GNG, but WP:TNT until proven may be a reasonable option. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:22, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alexandru Dimca

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

There's no particular indication this individual may meet WP:PROF. - Biruitorul ^Talk 19:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm the creator of the article, and imho Alexandru Dimca meet WP:PROF.

1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. “The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates.”
According to [3], he has one publication cited 580 times, three publications cited more than 100 times, and 112 publications. His h-index is 24, which is particularly significant.
Alexandru Dimca is a distinguished mathematician according to [4].
This source [5] says : Alexandru Dimca, s-a remarcat prin cercetările sale de vârf în domeniul geometriei algebrice. Este astăzi un matematician şi un profesor cu reputaţie internaţională, invitat în mari centre de matematică ale lumii să facă cercetare sau să ţină conferinţe. Publicaţiile sale i-au adus numeroase premii şi burse de cercetare (translation : Alexandru Dimca was noted for his research in algebraic geometry. Today he is a mathematician and a professor of international reputation, invited the world's great centers of mathematical research to make or keep conferences. His publications have brought numerous awards and fellowships).
4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. “Criterion 4 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has authored several books that are widely used as textbooks (or as a basis for a course) at multiple institutions of higher education.”
His books Sheaves in topology and Singularities and topology of hypersurfaces are very highly cited, and usually used in algebraic geometry courses in University (three examples [6][7][8]).

Jean-Noël Sapin (talk) 10:31, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. GScholar gives an h-index of 24, which is comfortably above the level we generally accept for mathematicians, particularly in a highly theoretical area like algebraic geometry, as satisfying WP:PROF#C1. While GScholar can sometimes be overgenerous in what it counts as a citation, experience in theses AfD discussions suggests that the most reliable citation counters (to which I do not bave access) are very unlikely to give an h-index low enough (distinctly below 20 in this field) to change my judgement.

Cho La incident

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

This article is about a skirmish that happened in Sikkim between Chinese forces and Indian forces. It is one of many skirmishes that are reputed to have happened during this time. The article is portraying the skirmish as some sort of great military victory battle of the Indians over the Chinese with 350 Chinese killed and 450 wounded, when in reality according to a neutral source [9] on page 197 the casualties are as followed: 36 dead for India and an unknown dead for China. This number is from Taylor Fravel who is an MIT professor as mentioned here [10]. I therefore do not think it meets notability requirements as specified here WP:Notability to warrant its own article. It is already mentioned over here China–India_relations#1960s and here Sino-Indian_War#Later_conflicts and having its own article appears to be an attempt to rehash materials from other articles to promote the same idea again and again. Similarly, I do not think the case of it being advertised as a great Indian victory is warranted and violates WP:NPOV since the sources that are making such claims are largely Indian, whereas a more neutral source here [11] on page 103 claims that the result was a ceasefire, not an Indian victory. Since the entire article revolves around this idea of it being some sort of great military battle victory for India, it should be deleted as the article violates WP:NPOV. The sources are also primarily Indian and attempts to introduce more neutral and academic sources in December 2015 did not amount to much. I think due to the lack of neutral sources and total lack of Chinese sources (and near full reliance on Indian sources), this article again violates WP:NPOV. Upon searching for material on the conflict, the majority of sources are non-neutral and non-academic. The few academic sources that do make mention of it, barely mention it, or simply focusing on the bigger picture. Due to the lack of overall neutral and academic sources available, this article not only violates WP:Notability, but it also becomes very difficult to adhere to WP:NPOV and therefore should be deleted altogether and mention of the incident should be left within the articles mentioned above. Xtremedood (talk) 19:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, tentatively. The fact that the incident is linked from two major articles suggests that having one treatment in a separate article is worthwhile. Expanded information can be provided just in this article, and the mentions can be brief. Mention in China–India_relations#1960s is basically 5 sentences (which may be reduced), and the mention in Sino-Indian_War#Later_conflicts is 1/2 sentence. Deletion of the article would mean that each of those mentions should be expanded because they must be self-contained, I guess, which is not what the nom would want.

It being advertised as a great Indian victory is something to state in the article, and is all the more reason to provide an article that will debunk the propaganda. An apparent bias in numerous sources does not mean the item is not notable, and in fact it makes it more notable, perhaps: the fact of disagreement of views/sources can and should be mentioned and explained. The view of the Indian military should be clearly identified as that. The apparent assertion of different numbers (and perhaps "ridiculous" numbers) in India's parliament seems worth mentioning (from the Talk page: "claims of 88 Indian dead and 300 Chinese dead comes from an Indian Defense Minister, see here [7] at parliament...").

Can't the article be developed using sources appropriately? The nom refers to numerous sources and seems to accept at least one source as unbiased, and even biased sources can provide non-controversial detail that is helpful. I see that the article was edit-protected for some period and that there is much discussion of sources at the Talk page that seems to suggest that some reliable sources exist (at least stating that the official Indian view is X, while an official Chinese view is not available).

An incident in which 36 (the lowest estimate for India) plus unknown number of Chinese (perhaps 2X) are killed seems significant to me, especially if this outside of a proper war. There are extensive articles about incidents in the U.S. West where just a few were killed, for example.

I agree with the nom's identification of problems in the article as it is now. It should be improved, but "AFD is not for cleanup" (wp:AFDISNOTCLEANUP), and the Talk page discussion was sort of working, I believe. --do ncr am 20:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just to make mention of the two articles, the first one [12] references the incident alongside the Nathu La incident and refers to it as simply as a "clash" whereas the second source here [13] too references the incident alongside the Nathu La incident and states that a multitude of various incidents, skirmishes, and clashes have happened around that area and the Himalayas region. I still think that notability should be considered, as a minor clash among many similar clashes does not, in my opinion, warrant its own article. Xtremedood (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The pair of incidents were important and stand out from the much more numerous number of border incursions (60? 150?) in that period. I don't know but gather from context that the others were perhaps just patrols which went over an asserted boundary, and might have involved some gunfire, but no deaths and few or no injuries? I see that the two incidents are mentioned together (usually? almost always?). It seems the total of deaths across the two incidents is what matters. And I see that Nathu La incident does not exist as an article, it is just a redirect to the section in major article China-India relations. So how about change this article to cover the two, together: rename it to Nathu La and Cho La incidents (currently a redlink)? The major China-India relations article should not (and doesn't) include tactical-level detail about what happened within each of the incidents (like names of officers, and acts of heroism, or specific small advances and retreats, and so on), but this combo article could. Is some such detail available? [Yes, e.g. at China's Shadow Over Sikkim: The Politics of Intimidation pages 193-195, which reports based on Indian sources about Chinese soldiers approaching "feature 15450" (which we could probably pinpoint in a geolink) and so on, and reports on what a Chinese diplomatic "Note" (which must be available in full somewhere) about a Chinese commander shouting over the border about 5 bodies, etc., and what China's "The People's Daily said on October 8, etc.] It would be useful to let the reader understand what is being termed merely an "incident" or a "clash", vs. a fighting "skirmish" or a "military conflict". Consider that what the U.S. calls an incident, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, apparently involved naval gunfire but no U.S. deaths and possibly 4 North Vietnamese deaths (and is covered in Wikipedia in detail involving ship names and officer names). What some call an "incident" on the China-India border is a lot bigger, it seems to me. So: combo? --do ncr am 22:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And here's great detail about Natha Lu, like Indian general Sagat Singh reportedly having "fortitude" and refusing to obey a command to withdraw, which was appreciated two years later, and various officers and the laying of a barbed wire cable, etc., etc.. See Similar account by Maj. Gen Sheru Thapliyal (and same here covering "martyrdom" of Indian soldiers under machine gun fire, but Indian artillery observation posts being superior, at Nathu La, and less about Cho la. I find detail by googling "Indian officer Nathu La" and similar phrases. You might argue the detail is not important, but to the Indians apparently it is, and to them the idea that they "bloodied the nose" of China is important, and the incidents are notable because the Indians think it is notable, in effect. Compare to the Americans' idea that Battle of Bunker Hill (where 226 British and approx 140 colonials were killed) was a really big deal bloodying nose of Britain, when that was a tiny incident relative to many European battles, say. --do ncr am 23:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Positive and negative reinforcement

Article is a fork of Reinforcement#Reinforcement. It is an orphan and works better described in the context of reinforcement. May be worth merging the "in the classroom" example into reinforcement maybe at Reinforcement#Applications. The only counter consideration is that reinforcement is getting very long.

I can't find any evidence that this meets WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. It is confusing because a better-known actress shares her name, and she is pre-Internet. She was in 2 notable films, but if found non-notable, her links should be removed from them and this page should redirect to the other Joan Harvey, Joan Perry.

WP:BLP of a writer, which does little more than assert that he exists, and sources it only to his "our authors" page on the website of his own publisher.

Good find. That book is "funny" (Not ha ha funny either). It looks like they took the title from the Springer book and came up with the author by copy/past from Cleveland P. Hickman Jr. (Who seems to be a legitimate author [19] but not of a book of this title.) but got the last name, first name switched about and came up with Hickman Jr. Cleveland P.. I think hoax may be a kind word for it. Jbh ^Talk 16:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is a hoax. I took a look around and found the book at Amazon, however a search using some of the sentences shows that it's clearly the Philip C. Watkins book lifted wholesale. I'll alert Springer to this since this is clear theft. The "author" tries to get away with it by citing Watkins, but the book's info gives off the impression that the author is someone else. Now what firmly pegs this as a hoax is the name "Javad Ramezani" on Amazon. This sounded familiar and sure enough, it's associated with User:جواد رمضانی شوراب, who has created multiple sockpuppets. One of his hallmarks is trying to copy stuff from other places and pass it off as Ramezani's work. In this case they decided to try to get around this by stealing someone's scientific work.

Likely so. Wikipedia requires that the subjects of articles be notable by Wikipedia standards. You can read our General Notability Guidelines and the specific guidelines for actors to see what that means. In general there must be significant coverage in independent, third party, reliable sources. Not blogs, not Instagram, not IMDB but rather newspapers, magazines, books etc. Even in those cases the articles must be independent to the subject, not PR pieces or from their agent etc.

I could find nothing like that for this person but if you can find good sources that meet our requirements then the article could be kept. This AfD will run for at least a week so you have some time if you want to improve the article.

can you please explain why this is up for deletion? The Association (which has been around since 1904) is well documented and is a major player in the UK specialist contractor sector in the construction industry. It has changed its name, removing the "and", so I created a new page and copied it across. The name change is verified here: http://www.coolingpost.com/uk-news/bes-becomes-besa/

I guess the same result would happen by changing the name of the original page Building and Engineering Services Association by removing the " and " text. I don't know how to do that, so help to change the title would be appreciated. user:sourswoken

Comment This can be done without admin rights. You just paste the redirect text over the old one. I just did it. Apparently you had done it too, but someone had apparently undone you because "Blanking page instead of moving article and keeping the history intact". I have no idea what the person meant by that. Moving a page just creates a new copy article with the new name and then pastes the move text over the old one.

comment It appears that a number of the contributors to this mess don't understand that attribution must be maintained (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia), and that a cut-and-paste move is a copyright violation, which is why a move should be done by the move function, rather than by cut-and-paste.

The page was deleted at the author's request (he placed a PROD on it asking for it to be deleted to make way for a move) as well as the copyright violation.

Its very being a noteworthy establishment in Oregon for thirty years is of note.

Keep - This game is more than "just another kickstarter". It meets notability guidelines and has been covered by major industry analysts like IGN, Kotaku, GameSpot, and others. If it was "just another kickstarter", it wouldn't be closing in on 100k raised in under 24 hours. It has quickly developed a cult following and many people are looking for information on it across social media, and asking questions. I couldn't believe there wasn't yet an article on it.

Comment - I understand the case against this game having its own article. The reason I created the article is because of the sheer response it has gotten across social media platforms and the amount of coverage it has received. All you have to do is look at the news coverage by using the hyperlink above and you will see what I mean. When someone wants to know what this game is all about, there should be a page on Wikipedia that can explain it to them. Idealist343 (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Idealist343, that someone might want to know what this game is about is not a reason to keep an article. The fact that sources have reported on it are. --Soetermans. T / C 21:47, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I understand that, I was just elaborating on the fact that Wikipedia's larger purpose is to provide reliable information on things. That was how I came to create the article, because I could not find said information already here. Idealist343 (talk) 21:53, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As you can see, I think the article has a reason to stay, but are there more sources that can be added? --Soetermans. T / C 22:00, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There are a ton of sources and coverage. It is just picking and choosing which to use at this point. I am at work at the moment, but I just added another source on my break. Idealist343 (talk) 22:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The fact that the developer is not notable and that "it's just another kickstarter" shouldn't have to matter: notibility is proven by reliable sources. --Soetermans. T / C 21:46, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Obviously. But if the dev or programmer WAS notable, proving notability would be more or less trivial. A kickstarter is often WP:Crystal because the game isn't released, it's simply announced, and may be vaporware. Notability isn't temporary. The kickstarter itself would have to be notable. A lot of gaming press on the Internet produces an article for nearly every kickstarter that hits a reasonable amount of funding, but I'm not convinced that press quite meets WP:GNG, which is why I brought it to AfD. - superβεεcat 22:08, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But are there not multitudes of articles for games, including many by independent developers that are made pre-release depending on the amount of press? Idealist343 (talk) 22:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, there are. I was just unconvinced of this particular one's notability, given the sources and coverage. Also, pre-release isn't the same as a kickstarter, which are notorious for producing vaporware, even on well funded projects. If THAT becomes a story, so be it. superβεεcat 22:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Superbeecat does have a point though, we have to keep WP:CRYSTAL in mind. I'll try to go over the sources. --Soetermans. T / C 22:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My defense would be that there are precedents that had a lot less reliable sources and a lot less coverage than this. Tuesday morning, when people went to their favorite video game industry website, whether it be Kotaku, IGN, GameSpot, or what have you, they saw this game on the front page. Does that not make it inherently notable by definition? Idealist343 (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also would go back to your original point. The sheer amount of reliable sources should be sufficient. Idealist343 (talk) 22:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All fair points, except that a reliable source is only half the equation. To answer you question "Does that not make it inherently notable by definition?" No. Not at all. The coverage itself is also important. When you read the sources, they are basically repeating the announcement, and not really "covering" anything, because there is nothing to cover yet. WP:Crystal states in part "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." (emphasis mine). Until there is anything tangible, the coverage of an announcement is just speculation, as far as I can see. superβεεcat 22:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Remember Notability is not temporary. If this was vaporware and dissolved today, would it still warrant an article? If yes, then keep, if no, then don't keep. superβεεcat 22:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See you just said it though. It is half the equation. And that half it passes with flying colors. The other half is based on the assumption it may fail, which isn't likely considering it has almost reached its goal in just over 24 hours. I will stick by the fact that there are precedent video game articles that have had much less and based on much more rumor that have stayed. This game has plenty of reliable sources backing it up and as far as the other half of the equation, it could go either way, but we can better assume it will succeed than fail, but like I said, that should be irrelevant when taking into consideration the reliable sources reporting on it which will make people recognize (i.e. notablity) what it is. I stick by the fact that there has been many video game articles with much less kept. Idealist343 (talk) 22:39, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But that's not how wikipedia (or kickstarter) work. It's not an ASSUMPTION that it may fail, until it is released, it DEFINITELY may fail, as hundreds upon hundreds of fully funded kickstarters do. Sometimes devs take the money and run. Sometimes everyone buys strippers (this just happened). Sometimes they just never finish a project. This product is in Pre-Alpha. You said yourself "it could go either way" - this is a SPECIFIC violation of WP:CRYSTAL. If something can go either way, it is speculation, until it actually goes either way. Let me put it this way, if it DOES fail, would you advocate keeping the article? superβεεcat 22:48, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But either way, it is still making an assumption. Here is what we know right now with no assumptions: This game has been announced by a team of developers. It is a game that IS being made and already nearing Alpha. It is covered by reliable sources (multitudes of them) and it is already almost across its threshold goal on Kickstarter. That is 10x more than many preceding articles based on announced video games have had, and they have been kept. Idealist343 (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That simply is not how Wikipedia works. PLEASE read WP:CRYSTAL. IF the outcome is unknown (HOWEVER PROBABLE) it is speculation. The number of sources for other articles is entirely irrelevant, see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. Every kickstarter known to man could have an article, and it still wouldn't have any bearing here. What you are advocating is a reversal of WP:CRYSTAL. It is an important policy. Not defenses to crystal: "But other articles..." "But it has made a lot of money and will probably exist..." "But the sources are good...". Notability cannot be temporary. That means that NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, whether the kickstarter goes as planned, or not, the topic has to be good. This is NOT speculation, this is the opposite of speculation. superβεεcat 23:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It also says to include it if it is almost certain to happen. This is almost certain to happen. Do you not concede that? It has almost reached its goal in 24 hours and is already nearing alpha. There has been much less allowed. Idealist343 (talk) 23:09, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For video games specifically, there's WP:VG/RS. Gamerassault is not on there, I'd remove that one. Reliable sources like GamesRadar, VG247, VideoGamer.com and HardcoreGamer did mention it. The last one specifically said "Bulkhead Interactive, a studio comprised of former AAA developers and modders", but their official website doesn't have any information. On Kickstarter the game is doing pretty good so far. I wouldn't call this "speculation and rumor", as the game was actually announced. Okay, all in all, with all those RS'es mentioning Battallion 1944, I still say keep. --Soetermans. T / C 22:34, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. Isn't every game on Kickstarter "announced"? I do agree, there is probably more than trivial coverage here at this point... but I'm still having trouble with the permanence of Notability. Many hundreds (thousands?) of fully funded kickstarters never go on to produce products, despite coverage. How do we rationalize the litmus test of permanence (i.e. even if this is vaporware and disappears today, it's still a good article) with a product that may yet never come to be without violating wp:crystal? Is every piece of vaporware notable if the product announcement was covered? (I'm willing to listen if the answer is yes... maybe kickstarted vaporware IS notable if it had decent coverage...). superβεεcat 22:43, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not every game on Kickstarter receives this amount of coverage, either. Idealist343 (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It is also worth nothing that this is not from some random studio that just popped up there first kickstarter campaign. This is a new studio, yes, but it is compromised of almost exclusively former AAA developers. Idealist343 (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That could be useful. Do any of these Devs have articles? superβεεcat 22:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I plan on researching as soon as I get home tonight. It is all I can do to contribute to this conversation right now on my tablet. I am at work. But yes I plan on trying to locate some tonight. Idealist343 (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an example for ya. One of the most spectacular kickstarter failures was Yogventures. It made over half a million (DOUBLE what it was asking). in 2012. It was cancelled in 2014, despite massive backing and being tied to the massively popular Yogscast. THAT game, even though it is often mentioned as one of the most spectacular failures in kickstarter history, has NO article. The relevant paragraph is on the Yogscast page. It had FAR, far, far, more coverage than Battalion. I'd probably fight to GET an article for the game, as the failure itself is probably more notable than the vaporware title. We are talking about a title that may or may not ever get released. I've said my piece on it. What I WOULD advocate for, is (as proscribed in WP:CRYSTAL) adding the info to any of the devs' articles, if they have one. I think it's just too soon for this. superβεεcat 23:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as whether the game will be another failed Kickstarter project is not important. If reliable sources cared about the game and write articles about it, we should as well as it meets our notability guideline. Four/five sources are enough to show notability, and the article, in its current state, has enough content, which means it isn't really too soon. AdrianGamer (talk) 11:55, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, namely WP:VG/RS. Not having notable developer or other associated companies/people has no impact on the notability of the topic itself if the sources support it. Whether the product is released or not similarly has no bearing on notability if the sources support it. It's a bit WP:TOOSOON and I would say merge for now due to content size, but there isn't a suitable target, so a stand-alone article would have to do. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:18, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Coverage in reliable sources is WP:NOTNEWS level. It's the press release regurgitation of "this is a kickstarter project that exists" without any actual depth.

You say "without any actual depth" even though this article has a ton more depth than many articles left up in the past. Can you specifically tell me what it needs so that I can try and improve it to that level? Also, WP:NOTNEWS is talking about every little event surrounding a topic. There is no way this article isn't good enough for just a stub especially considering it is a fully funded game by AAA developers backed by a multitude of reliable sources.

Every little event includes every time a game is announced. None of the coverage is in depth because they're just news articles, repeating what the developer has announced. There are no previews, interviews, reviews, features on the game. There are video game kickstarters running all the time, and lots of them get news coverage in IGN, Gamespot et al. Right now, there's news stories for Invisigun Heroes, Consortium: The Tower, Knights and Bikes, and others. The only difference is in popularity, not notability. We regularly delete articles that are essentially product announcements as WP:TOOSOON, this article was created mere hours after the announcement. I'd say that was too soon. - hahnch e n 19:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As others have pointed out, there has been a litany of news articles about the game, and the relatively uncommon successfulness of the Kickstarter campaign is noteworthy as well. Joshua Garner (talk) 05:17, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep This is a particularly unpersuasive nomination statement in particular. The notability (or lack thereof) with regards to the principals behind Battalion 1944 is of no consequence to whether Battalion 1944 itself is notable. In my view, it passes WP:GNG, if not by a lot.

Weak Delete Although, as Mdtemp points out, he technically meets WP:NBOX by the thinnest of margins, I think the lack of significant coverage more the outweighs that. Papaursa (talk) 10:07, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He fought for a title where boxing receives significant coverage. I think fighting for the British title in an original eight weight class goes beyond meeting by the thinnest of margins (if even such a concept should exist or be considered relevant). Unless someone goes to England to research the 2013 print archives for Liverpool (fight location) as well as goes to N. Ireland to research the 2013 print archives for Belfast (fighter's home town) we have to consider this a keep since it meets WP:NBOX. RonSigPi (talk) 04:58, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a similar argument to one you used before when you said the only way to refute a fighter's notability was, in that case, be a fluent speaker of Polish and go to Poland and prove there wasn't significant independent coverage. Advocating going to the fight location would probably only produce routine sports reporting (promotion and results) so it's irrelevant. Since this article doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG, then the fact that he barely meets the weakest notability criteria in the generous assumptions of WP:NBOX is relevant. National runners-up in other sports aren't deemed automatically notable so why is it so in boxing? Papaursa (talk) 03:36, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And for the article you are referring to the decision was no consensus so its not like my argument was crazy/off the wall or that it was completely discounted. Similar argument and similar logic here - we have presumptions for a reason and a 5 minute Google search finding nothing is hardly evidence of anything. I hold a presumption is valid until reasonably shown otherwise. To your other comment, other sports do have their national runners-up presumed notable. In golf, the U.S. Open is the national championship. Not only the runner-up is notable, but so is the guy finishing in 70th place. The 3rd place competitor at the badminton Canadian Open is presumed notable. Yes, those are open events so its a bit different I will admit, but they are generally considered national championships and they go beyond just the winner. Additionally, this is a bit different of a situation. Not only is the BBBofC more of an exception (to my knowledge, only the US and UK have 'national' titles awarded that confer notability so this would be for only two nations), but in a sporting context its questionable if the UK is a country or multiple countries. In soccer, rugby, and cricket England and Wales compete as nations. Same goes for athletics in the Commonwealth Games (something that finishing lower than 1st can still give a presumption of notability). The BBBofC does award, for example, Welsh and English titles. So its reasonable to treat the BBBofC as a regional body as opposed to a national body. Likewise, its reasonable to not place someone losing their British title as being national runner-up, as you would the loser of the BBBofC Northern Ireland title, but instead treat them as the runner-up in a regional contest as we do for the Asian Games in athletics.RonSigPi (talk) 04:52, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RonSigPi has proposed here WT:NSPORT#Boxing proposal that losers in title fights for non-world title fights not be considered notable and admits that Wilton would not meet his proposed criteria User talk:RonSigPi#Your proposal and Luke Wilton. I would also claim that it's a stretch to claim the BBBofC is an international organization equivalent to Asia's because it has subregions and that losing a title fight is equivalent to finishing second at an event like the Asian Games. It is more proper to say that it's equivalent to finishing last in a two person event as opposed to finishing second in an event with numerous competitors from many countries. Papaursa (talk) 05:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter what is proposed, but what WP:NBOX states now. My proposal was not my personal thoughts, but my best read on the consensus (I even said so much in my message to you). As anyone can clearly see, my proposal is being defeated quite handily so I am not sure what your point actually is. Regardless of the point trying to be made, I stand by my argument. We have SNG for a reason. They give a presumption that an article's subject is notable. It is up to those that want to see the article deleted to establish that the presumption is wrong in this case and therefore the article should be deleted. You may not like the SNG and the presumption the BBBofC title gives, but the presumption exists none the less and it must be respected. Until someone shows that efforts have been made to search the areas one may find sources, and that includes local print and non-print sources and the like that may not make it online, then I presume it likely that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria.

KEEP The breadth of sources compensates the lack of depth, ala material with significant biographical detail. Yes, some of the reliable sources mentioning him may only do so in brief (there is also a short sentence on him here) but that is enough to warrant a keep. Additionally, his profile on BoxRec nicely underlines his notability as a boxer, no matter how small -- while BoxRec is not considered a reliable source, much like IMDB for film, it is indicative of the presence of other reliable sources regarding him elsewhere, and well complements what we have at hand. General notability is met and that is all we need to justify keeping this article. Yes, more can be done to spruce things up, but prettification is another matter entirely...

As a new editor I would point out the fact that routine sports coverage is not considered as meeting WP:GNG--and fight results are considered routine sports reporting. Papaursa (talk) 05:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was confused by the bad grammar -- are you the new editor? Anyway, I respectfully disagree. Both GNG and V are fulfilled, and the sheer wealth of sources, local or not, in-depth or not, prove so. It is not always the case that notability can only be shown with a really thorough source. Breadth over a period of time can overcome depth. Most significantly, he has received sustained coverage in Belfast as an up-and-coming boxer. Kingoflettuce (talk) 10:12, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

he does not pass GNG. Purely trivial coverage. Also fails WP:NBOX as he hasn't won a notable title. --Suarez Mason (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So you indeed are the new editor -- can infer so. Was trying to draw logical link to your 'as a new editor' statement; turns out that had not much purpose except for enforcing the opposite.

Delete WP:N requires "significant coverage" that I'm not seeing. Kingoflettuce's claims that lots of passing mentions are enough is wrong. Routine sports coverage is what he currently has. WP requires someone be notable and "up and coming" means he's not there yet.Mdtemp (talk) 21:20, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that he warrants coverage in a reputable and reliable source, routine or not, over a sustained period of time (few years) is enough to establish GNG at the barest levels. And much insight is to be gleaned from these sources. There's plenty more to be found, the state of the article now is independent of the subject's notability. Kingoflettuce (talk) 10:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, all ambassadors are significant, interesting and unusual enough to deserve attention and therefore satisfy the criteria to that effect set out in the introduction of WP:BIO. They are accordingly notable. I also agree with the argument, sometimes advanced by User:Necrothesp that this would alternatively follow from WP:COMMONSENSE. A person who is verifiably an ambassador should, at an absolute minimum, be included in, and redirected to, the relevant parent article, which in this case would be Ambassador of Colombia to Russia. Accordingly, as a plausible redirect with merge-able content, this article appears ineligible for deletion. I haven't analysed all the sources yet, and it is not helpful that they are mostly in foreign languages, but there does seem to be a 26 minute television programme. James500 (talk) 07:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, ambassadors are not inherently notable and community consensus has shown this. This article is not ineligible for deletion. Lastly you have now popped up recently at many AfDs I've been involved in as well as contacting an editor I've been in disagreement in and conveniently siding with him. I'm noting this now for future action. LibStar (talk) 09:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that such a consensus exists was rejected at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. You know perfectly well that I have been editing at WP:DSBILATERAL, and bilateral relations related pages generally, for months. I didn't side with any editor, I attempted to explain to an editor how to cite sources, and your response was to start pestering me for no reason. The purpose of my presence at this AfD is to enforce Wikipedia's inclusion policies and guidelines. You pop up in many places that I go on this site, and contact and side with editors that I have disagreements with.

And you, in my opinion, have broken a lot of those in the last 48 hours or whatever. This nomination is, in my opinion, and in the opinion of others such as Necrothesp, an example of that. We are getting wildly off topic here. James500 (talk) 11:17, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There exists a WP:PRODLIST. The only PROD I have removed recently is one that was placed on a notable topic and told epic lies about the level of sourcing available. That was an appropriate removal to enforce the notability guidelines and the policy against disruptive behaviour. Your statistic is fictitious, and the rest of your accusations have been answered. James500 (talk) 12:03, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then how did you find HoldenV8? LibStar (talk) 12:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant. And by telling the editor how to cite sources properly I was actually helping you. Unless you are upset that, since the editor won't make the same mistake of failing to cite his source in the future, you won't have any further reason to criticise him. James500 (talk) 12:22, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You found HoldenV8 by following my edit history. Just like you've been doing the last 48 hours . It's highly relevant how you found him. Your response here just confirms this. LibStar (talk) 12:24, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

the only way you could have found Holden was by following my edit history. You've never worked on rugby league articles so there is no other explanation. LibStar (talk) 12:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What possible objection could you have to me telling someone how to cite sources properly? And how do you know that I don't read articles on rugby league and other sports besides? I read huge numbers of articles about film and television for many years before I started actually sticking my beak into a few of them. And yes, I do read articles about rugby league. And I have edited sports related project pages. In fact, I read almost everything, because I am one of those polymath super geniuses you have heard so much about. James500 (talk) 12:54, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I object to following me around and if it was only about citing sources the tone of your comments and subsequent defence of him show your real motive. Again you still haven't said how you found Holden besides the usual diversionary excuse making. Read almost everything , pull the other one. We both know you have been following my edit history looking for an opportunity to pounce. LibStar (talk)

And how would you know whether I edit rugby league articles, unless you've been following me for a very long time? And I didn't make any further comments about HoldenV8 until you insulted me for no reason at all (provocation) and then I noticed how abrasive your previous comments towards the other editor were (justification, ie enforcing the civility policy) and then you placed an erroneous warning template right in front of my eyes as I was talking to the pair of you (more justification). The tone of my subsequent comments indicates that I don't like unprovoked impudence being put on my talk page for no reason and I don't approve of needless rudeness. James500 (talk) 13:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Simple question. Which rugby league articles have you been working on that made you encounter HoldenV8? Please provide a diff. Otherwise we both know the real way you found him. LibStar (talk) 13:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Simple answer: Irrelevant. I do not need your permission to try to help an editor to cite their sources properly. And the moment you put an unprovoked false accusation on my talk page, WP:BOOMERANG came into effect against you. Nor would it even matter as we are entitled to follow editors to enforce policies and guidelines, and you can't accuse me of anything that does not consist of enforcing them. James500 (talk) 13:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is highly relevant in proving my claim you are following me. You didn't encounter HoldenV8 by random (if you did you would have easily provided a diff to prove this). Your excuse making is fooling no one. And your motivations for recent following me around is clear. LibStar (talk) 14:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You've already said this, and you have had an answer. WP:BLUDGEON. I think you know perfectly well that I !voted the way I did above because I think that ambassadors are notable, something that I have said many times before for years. James500 (talk) 15:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You claimed to find HoldenV8 via your editing of rugby league articles. When asked to provide evidence you failed. Of course you'll respond with some long winded excuse. LibStar (talk) 15:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't claim any such thing. I point blank refused to answer your question on grounds of irrelevance. I did profess to read articles on rugby league, but I didn't say whether that was how I became aware of that editor, because it is irrelevant and, frankly, none of your business. I said that I did not edit rugby league articles, but that your knowledge of this was proof that you have been following my edits for many months. James500 (talk) 15:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The irrelevant card is such a diversion from you using my edit history to find HoldenV8 and then side with them to have a go at me. Factored in with you following me on AfDs last 24 hours it's an obvious pattern. Anyone can see your edit history. LibStar (talk) 16:02, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, LibStar, the sequence of events is that you had a go at me first because I innocently tried to explain to that user how to cite a DVD as a source. James500 (talk) 16:16, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again you have failed to explain how you came across Holden. The fact that you keep giving diversionary responses clearly points you to using my edit history, there are 10s of 1000s of editors and by sheer chance you stumbled onto one. That is relevant because you've gone on a 24 hour pattern of following me since then . Yet the hilarious excuse making continues. LibStar (talk) 16:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And what happened after that was the result of your failure to control your paranoia in twice accusing other editors of things they had not done. As you are failing to control it now. I don't see a pattern, and if there was one, it does not matter, as I have acted only to enforce policies and guidelines. James500 (talk) 16:48, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You also didn't deprod anything else out of all the articles on the list. OF course when you saw it was me it was immediate action stations. Your fake innocence is fooling no one. LibStar (talk) 12:09, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, when I saw that the PROD was on a film festival (I like films), that the topic was notable, and that the PROD told epic lies about the level of sourcing available, it was immediate action stations. James500 (talk) 12:22, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ambassadors are accepted as notable if we can write and reliably source something genuinely substantive about them that gets them over WP:GNG — but they are not granted an automatic presumption of notability because ambassador. If all we can really write is "this person exists", and all we can really source them to is government press releases about their initial appointment with no media coverage of anything they did outside of that particular moment in time, then they don't get over the bar. But the latter is all we've got here. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:31, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BOP (computing)

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

Incomprehensible content. The article appears to claim that BOP is some sort of protocol for some sort of serialization for some sort of objects (as in objects from object-orientated programming?) that is "defined in every programming languages (sic)". This is completely devoid of any context. What does "protocol", "serialization", and "objects" refer to? The claim that this is something defined for every programming language is highly dubious and is unsupported by any citations or references (the article actually has none). The article then claims that the "protocol" can be "extended" with "other custom serialization". If this is something defined in every programming language, then how can it extended by the end-user, given programming languages are defined separately by their respective standards bodies? The article then goes on to say something about a JavaScript library. If the article is actually about this specific JavaScript library, then the article fails WP:GNG due to the lack of any WP:RS. This article also has a bizarre article history. It appears though that the current version is not the result of vandalism. I considered speedy deletion, but given this article's nature, I thought some discussion regarding its fate was warranted. AZ1199 (talk) 04:52, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete If you look at the history it used to be where the acronym BOP was listed. The actual computing article was create in July 23, 2015 by an editor who made two edits to this article and hasn't edited since. Anyone after that was only doing Wiki-management. The actual content of the article is about a specific example of a Boyer–Moore string search algorithm. Even if BOP were a bit notable it would be merged to that article, but as I searched for any information about the BOP, all I could find was that github. To add to the insult, the github was last updated a year ago. Lastly: it's typical of programmers to list their own specialized executions of some general algorithm with a really cool name on github, but in the end it's most likely just a school project. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 08:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable software. References all seem to be papers announcing or promoting the software, written by its creators. No third party references or sources, and a search turns up none. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 01:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The lack of references is probably as the title is wrong, if the article is about EIDORS specifically It was EIDORS but the title was changed. However it is certainly widely used. This paper has over 200 citations for example [28] This one over 100 (according to Google Scholar [29]. Is that enough to be notable or not? Most groups working on biomedical or process EIT use it, but those are small scientific communities (with annual scientific meetings attended by around 150 people for example).Billlion (talk) 08:06, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A Google Scholar search for EIDORS gives over 600 articles [30] Billlion (talk) 08:16, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The citation count is used for academics, not software projects, and even for academics it should be used with care. In this case it may be helpful in finding references but does not on its own prove notability, no more than a Google search. I did search on EIDORS, it seemed far more likely to turn up references than the current longer title, but I found nothing.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 08:58, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it is true that a citation count is an academic measure. However, it is relevant to the question on notability. Widely used software is notable. And a large citation count is one measure of the use of the software. Also, however, the title of the article is wrong, EIDORS is "Electrical Impedance Tomography and Diffuse Optical Tomography Reconstruction Software". As a minimum, the article title should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.117.63.148 (talk) 14:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

JohnBlackburne I am confused as to what the Google search you did that did not convince you of notability. Of course Google will not give the same results for different locations and users, but I did a Google search for EIDORS and it comes up with a mixture of academic publications (by plenty of people who are not the authors of the software) and web sites from academic users. It says it returns around 8000 hits and the ones I sampled were all on this software (not some other use of the word). I am unclear what kind of notability you are expecting to find in a google search about a software toolbox. Here is a link to the search I just did, although it might produce different results for you [31]. You claim that there are "No third party references or sources" but you already admit that is not true as there are hundreds of academic papers not by the authors that mention that they used EIDORS. Then you change your claim to somehow say academic citations do not count. Do you mean some other sort of notoriety is needed like coverage in the popular press? You say a search turns up none, but certainly a Google search contradicts that. Can I suggest that the case for deletion is withdrawn and instead it is moved back to the correct articlename? And maybe tagged for improvement for example that the article should cite articles by users other than the authors (in a meaningful way to say how it is used in different applications). Billlion (talk) 14:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Google test; a Google or other search proves nothing. The way Google works means it turns up many low quality results, many duplicates, and often many unrelated results if words are common or used in other languages/fields. The main criteria for inclusion is notablity, which requires “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. Google may help you find such sources but the search itself is not evidence.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 03:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK JohnBlackburne so as you say lets us discount your and my Google search. Not repeatable and somewhat flawed. Useful at least to find that EIDORS does not seem to be used to mean anything else taht is visible on the web. Could you please have a look at the new references I added to the article and the paragraph about uses of EIDORS. I looked for references that seemed to me to be in reputable academic journals, that used EIDORS for a wide variety of different applications and as far as I could tell were not associated with the authors of EIDORS (although EIDORS is open source so anyone who uses it could contribute bug fixes etc, possibly anonymously, I mean the authors that appear on the main academic articles about the software). The 600 or so Google Scholar hits include plenty of conference proceedings etc so I looked for what appear to be mainstream journal articles. I also looked at the (approx 99) citations listed on the IoP web site of one of the main papers by the EIDORS authors. There are still over a hundred journal papers that mention EIDORS in proper journal not including anyone visibly associated with the project. I chose the ones I added as references in the article to illustrate interesting applications rather than simply to establish notability. As far as I can tell these articles actually use the software in a significant way rather than citing it is some tangential way (for example to to say "we tried EIDORS and it doesn't work", or something like that). Can you see if that satisfies as you say which requires “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. If not can you say roughly how many references to independent journal articles would satisfy of notability, or if you would expect them to satisfy some additional criterion? Billlion (talk) 18:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I had another look at WP:GNG "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article or deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search." So perhaps I was wrong to add all those sources to the article to establish notability. In any case I tried to do it in a way that is useful for the article so that is OK. The point is that according to the above one should check before nomination for deletion on notability grounds. I think what happened is you tried to do that but in good faith used the wrong title (and the title had been changed in good faith too), and you found no evidence for notability. On the other hand I pointed out that if you searched for EIDORS (and the search for EIDORS in Google Scholar appear, for me at least as an automated link in the AFD page) it shows up hundreds of independent reliable sources. I suggest therefore that the nomination for deletion is an unfortunate mistake and that you withdraw it (if that is possible procedurally) rather it actually going for a vote (so far no one has voted as such, but maybe that is normal. I have been editing Wikipedia for 11 years but not so regularly and policies and mechanisms do change and I don't keep up).Billlion (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I read up on the mechanism. What I was thinking of was speedy keep'. WP:SK. JohnBlackburne could you do that if you accept the argument above otherwise I think an admin has to close the debate after 7 days have elapsed.

Redirect to Electrical impedance tomography, where sufficient information is already present, so no merge is necessary. DGG ( talk ) 01:37, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- This is to misunderstand the subject of the article. The article is about a specific piece of software which can be used, inter alia to reconstuct images from EIT. It would be like redirecting adding machine to double entry bookkeeping. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Electrical impedance tomography instead of just redirect. I don't think sufficient information is present there. If either gets more votes here I'll just add some of this material to the Electrical impedance tomography article as a subsection. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 04:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Changed my vote. I think I'll still add some more to the Electrical impedance tomography article later. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 12:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep but rename Notability established as above, and nomination for deletion was in my opinion, a confusion caused by the wrong article name. But article name should be reverted to EIDORS. One problem with moving it to a section of Electrical impedance tomography is that that article is curently about biomedical applications of EIT, while Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) covers the geophysical case and industrial process tomography is now only covered in Industrial process imaging. See references inEIDORS article for uses in a variety on non medical areas. If EIDORS were to be merged it would have to be a section in a new article Calderon's inverse boundary value problem which would cover the mathematical problem irrespective of application Billlion (talk) 09:17, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: As it is relisted perhaps some users of EIDORS get a chance to look at this as the article certainly needs some improvement. As there is plenty of open source example images and meshes on the EIDORS web site and some of those could be used to illustrate the article. The idea of an article on Calderon's problem generally is growing on me, and I hope to start this irrespective of the outcome of the debate. The subject of electrical imaging is a difficult one for Wikipedia in that it appears different to the different communities medical, industrial and geophysical even though mathematically they are doing the same thing. I think a mathematical article that covers both uniqueness and stability of solution and numerical methods of inversion sounds like a good idea as then the application articles can focus on what is specific to those areas.Billlion (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: While the article is certainly under-developed, EIDORS is definitely notable. It is widely used in research on Electrical Impedance Tomography (aka ERT). In fact, it is frequently used as the gold standard implementation against which new algorithms are compared (e.g. ^[1]^[2], recent scientific articles by authors not associated with EIDORS). As Billion argues, scientific articles are the best independent reliable sources for this scientific software. Bgrychtol (talk) 11:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an open-access article example: Saeedizadeh N, Kermani S, Rabbani H. A Comparison between the hp-version of Finite Element Method with EIDORS for Electrical Impedance Tomography. Journal of Medical Signals and Sensors. 2011;1(3):200-205. ^[3]/ Bgrychtol (talk) 14:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rename: The article title should be (or contain) "EIDORS", such as e.g. on the EIDORS website: "EIDORS: Electrical Impedance Tomography and Diffuse Optical Tomography Reconstruction Software" ^[4]. "Electrical Impedance Tomography Reconstruction Software" is too generic and could as well contain a list. Bgrychtol (talk) 11:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - while it's hard to establish (GNG-)notability without the access to paywalled papers, there are indications that coverage rather than mere mention of the software takes place - e.g. " More recently, the application of image reconstruction to a specific tomography problem has become simplified by the introduction of user-defined functions implemented from Electrical Impedance and Diffuse Optical Reconstruction Software (EIDORS)."

Moreover articles such as that included in Computer Networks and Intelligent Computing: 5th International Conference on Information Processing, ICIP 2011, Bangalore, India, August 5-7, 2011. Proceedings on page 622 cover the software before moving on to modifications and other matters.

There is reason to believe that sufficient independent reliable coverage exists to keep this article.

Delete. Wikipedia is not a public relations platform on which every film festival that exists gets to keep a profile for promotional purposes — which is indeed at least partially what's going on here, as the article has been extensively edited in the past by User:ReelHeART. But the reliable source coverage needed to support an encyclopedia article about it simply isn't there — on both Google News and ProQuest, it only gets passing hits on mentions of its name in articles about films that have screened at it, and isn't the subject of any coverage that I can locate besides its own self-published press releases on PRWeb.

Keep. There are lots of list-articles and individual articles about university buildings. Here there are 5 residence hall articles and many more buildings' articles in Category:Buildings at the University of Manchester. One could argue they ought to be combined into one or two list-articles, with redirects from each current title. Certainly the Owens Park one should redirect to a list-article, rather than be deleted outright. I don't want to create the list-article, do you?

Due to some events this past year, it has come to my attention that there are some articles and images regarding me and my former business on Wikipedia. And while eager and well-meaning, I believe a former associate of mine is responsible, at least in part, for this content. Both articles either contain some privileged information or general inaccuracies. I’m not really sure why this article even still exists. I would have to agree with the article’s notation of questionable notability. Flashpoint Studios, now discontinued, was simply a consultation and promotional arm of my core media development company. And while it is tied to some high-profile projects, it’s more of a footnote and hardly seems noteworthy to your global audience. And, it contains some inaccuracies and wording that can be misleading.

Online gambling site that does not meet WP:GNG. Plenty of references, but nothing in-depth from WP:RS. Claim is that it is ranked as one of the top 100 worldwide gaming sites. Claim is dubious and not supported by reliable source. CNMall41 (talk) 21:40, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - this company is listed as in the Top 100 Casino sites in the world. Subtropical-man talk

That is a dubious honor, but where are the reliable sources that discuss this? I see the sources, but I do not see any reliable source that would meet WP:RS. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:57, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For example, the Canadian Gambling Insider article links out to PlayMillion.com. However, if you look close, it is an affiliate link to the site. A publication that is unbiased and has editorial oversight is not likely to include an affiliate links like that within an article. The only reason to do so is to make money which shows that the article is likely written to drive traffic to PlayMillion.com - and referral revenue for CGI. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:15, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep without prejudice against a future merger into a list article of Casio calculators when one is written. The discussion below reached a rough consensus that we ought to keep some description of this (and most other) Casio calculator series, as the information can be sourced and there exists independent media coverage to make them notable. An eventual merge into a list article may be a better way to present the information, but there is little appetite for outright deletion. Der yck C. 16:36, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I don't see the problem with keeping articles about individual models/series of electronic calculators from major manufacturers, provided they have substantial content (as this one does). In terms of notability, there are media references to this series of calculators (e.g. [35]). In any event, how is this worse than having an article on an individual model/series of cars?

Keep The AfDs before with the exception of Casio fx-991ES were about interfaces where as this is about the seemingly newest series of calculators from Casio. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 05:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This AFD and other Casio product AFDs is not a good way to discuss better editing, I mean real editing like a book publisher does, of Wikipedia's coverage of Category:Programmable computers or of Casio products. How about write an essay evaluating the coverage of TI and Casio and HP and Sharp and IBM calculators, and propose how it should all be consolidated into list-articles (perhaps, or whatever), and have an RFC about it. Singling out the Casio ones, or just selected Casio ones, doesn't produce a useful consensus that would stick. Maybe there is less detail about Casio ones than TI ones, and the TI ones should be reduced. Where should we draw a line? And, note that it would be better to redirect this and other Casio calculator articles to a list-article of them, than to outright delete the material. --do ncr am 00:26, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Redirect This is less keep-worthy than Casio 9860 series but more keep-worthy than the Casio interfaces, so it was harder to make a decision here. What won me over was that this article links to Casio_V.P.A.M._calculators. Much but not all of the information is already repeated there. The "feature list" of Casio fx-991ES is meaningless as it's typical for any calculator these days. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 06:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yasuhiro Kawakami

Japanese composer with a handful of game credits, but I don't think those credits establish notability. It's a well formatted article but I really can't find anything on this guy. The only noteworthy claim is that he was on the "most collaborated soundtrack" by Square, which if you think about it, is kind of a spurious superlative. JP Wikipedia isn't a help either.

Delete - yeah, it's a credits list; the prose is pretty much the credit list again, but with some citations that only prove that he worked on said games. There's nothing in there about Kawakami himself, beyond that he worked at company X doing games Y-Z. Most collaborated soundtrack by Square isn't saying much, since the successor company Square Enix has had games with twice as many composers only a few years later. --Pres N 21:58, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
