Delete Yet another "wait until it's announced to air" premature pilot article and a reminder again that unless it's announced for a schedule, don't create an article for the show. Nate • (chatter) 03:53, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Yes, the article was probably created a bit too soon. I'm open to a redirect if someone can suggest something relevant. But all we have right now, as far as I can tell, is announcements for a show that did not get picked up. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:12, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jonathan Mitchell

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

Fails WP:AUTHOR. No indication of importance nor wide citations by peers or successors. No new concepts, theories or techniques promoted. No significant or well known bodies of work (one book with little success at best) and no significant and substantive coverage otherwise - two single publication appearances (Newsweek and LA Magazine) do not constitute significant coverage. KrazyKlimber (talk) 22:20, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article provides sufficient evidence of notability (I doubt that WP:AUTHOR is the right criterion). Maproom (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article clearly indicates that it's about a writer. Hence the criteria I used. KrazyKlimber (talk) 22:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It says "he writes as a hobby". That is not what he's notable for. Maproom (talk) 22:59, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's the only option. He's not notable for anything else. KrazyKlimber (talk) 03:27, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Significant coverage in several major sources; also cited in several books on the subject [1]. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:35, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No notable cites from peers - except for Temple Grandin but only a name check and nothing more. KrazyKlimber (talk) 03:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's no question that Jonathan Mitchell is notable. The article currently cites six independent sources that establish his notability. There are undoubtedly more (e.g., [2]). CatPath (talk) 02:07, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Six?? There are only two that I can see (LA Magazine and Newsweek) and that is not enough to confer notability IMO. KrazyKlimber (talk) 03:31, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm including the NPR and Studio 360 interviews, Andrew Solomon's article in New York Magazine, and the book Autism and Representation. That's six total. If you want more, he's mentioned in the article from Australia linked above in my initial comments, chapter 6 in the book The Politics of Autism, and chapter 3 of the book Republic of Outsiders. (To confirm, you can find those books on Amazon, click on the "Look Inside" link, and search for Mitchell's name.) We're now up to nine independent sources. CatPath (talk) 03:48, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The two interviews are not notable. NYMag is a name check. I'll have to look at the other one. The others are namechecks as well. You still haven't convinced me. He's actually closer to being notable for being a nuisance to the autistic community than anything else but even then he fails the test. All you're doing is presenting (IMO) local newspaper sources if you like. Where are the sources that detail him in the real mainstream beyond the two that I've already accepted?

Keep - The Newsweek and NPR references are significant coverage and both are reliable sources. This passes WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR does not even apply. I am also forced to point out the edit war and WP:POINT disruption here. There is a discussion at the COI noticeboard that talks about this more. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:47, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Biblical place names in Khorasan

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

Multiple problems. The only readable portions of this article are those that are cribbed from other wikipedia articles (itself not a crime) like that of the history of Greater Khorasan.

The rest is indecipherable nonsense. It is not evident what is being claimed or how. It merely itemizes long lists of toponyms without a claim on whether it is a Biblical reference or a current or recorded Khorasan place, or presents Old Testament quotes without context, etc etc.

Looking at the article's historical contributors it would suggest COI (or at least absense of neutrality) isn't unlikely. Even the four "images" are different iterations of the same map three times and one with a strongly non-NPOV caption (replete with typographical as well as logical errors).

And while there certainly are "sources" here, they are hardly all GSs or actually establish the claim of the article as anything other than a fringe element. It is almost all editorializing, speculation and synthesis at best, and OR at that.

WP:TNT. JesseRafe (talk) 21:35, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article was tagged for deletion. The note said: "article should have high quality evidence".

This article shows names of places in Afghanistan and Pakistan (Afghanistan + Pakistan = Khurasan; old name). The names of these places were not assigned in recent or even modern history. These are actual place names. Look them all up on google maps or any other extensive atlas. The names are provided with reference from various books (This also includes the bible since the title includes the word). It requires editing and corrections but it is original research and referenced material. Consider that the region is not Europe where you can find cemetery records from the 10th century. I request a Pakistani or Afghan based editor to have some say in the matter as well otherwise you'll have an encyclopedia without much about this region. As to the point of the article, it is related to the Afghan (Pashtun/ Pukhtun) decent from Bani Israelis. Like it or not there is extensive material on the subject which cannot be out rightly rejected. This article shows what it says. There are places in the region with place names before recorded history which are also found in the bible. It requires improvement not deletion. Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan (talk) 06:27, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This article could be merged with Theory of Pashtun descent from Israelites. Despite what the page's creator (above) says, this article does not establish a single thing he claims it does, and if the "extensive material on the subject exists" it is not here. JesseRafe (talk) 20:48, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as synthesis and original research. Most of it is unsourced and for that which is sourced, the Grant R. Jeffrey one is WP:Fringe Christian fundamentalist conspiracy theory and thus inadmissible, and the other sources seem to have nothing directly to do with the article's title but are there to support the synthesis. If there is sourced evidence for ancient Jewish settlements in this region, or for some of the place names being mentioned in the bible, as the Jewish Quarterly Review source suggests, surely there are more appropriate existing articles that could contain such content.

2011 Oahu Interscholastic Association Football Season

NewsInn

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

Doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG — the references provided don't show any significant independent coverage, and I've failed to find anything else. The first two refs both seem to refer to the same original research paper (which admittedly, was published in a journal). The latter relate to the official website. Original article was a direct copy from the research paper (which would be a copyright violation) though this has since been slightly re-worded. Interesting to note the author's comments The Publication appeared at the end of November 2015, so one can not expect to be cited in a month in this edit which appears to acknowledge a lack of coverage. I would suggest that the driver to write the article may have been promotional in nature, and at best this article is WP:TOOSOON about a still emerging company / technology. There's a clear conflict of interest given it appears to have been written by the algorithm's author. Note that the article has previously been de-tagged for speedy deletion, and de-prodded, hence bringing to AFD since there's clearly some contention. (Though, for the record, I'm not particularly disagreeing that the article wasn't sufficiently promotional to merit deletion under CSD G11)._└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 20:02, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - an algorithm published in a minor journal less than two months ago will need a lot of evidence to be considered notable enough for its own article. This doesn't look like enough. Blythwood (talk) 20:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to lack of notability. It was published in November 2015. It fails notability until it has received "significant independent coverage". @Nicoaraeradu: Yes, you cannot expect this from such a recent article, but that only shows that such a recent article does not yet need a Wikipedia article. Once it has become notable, feel free to re-add a article here (although it would be better if someone independent considered it to be worth doing so).

Delete - the article should be improved rather than deleted. However, in its current state, it's probably not worthy of being an article in the first place. I'll try and get around to improving it at some stage; seeing a redlink might inspire me to get around to that sooner! TheMightyPeanut (talk) 08:58, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep – It should now have been improved to an acceptable standard. 2001 Currie Cup, 2002 Currie Cup and 2003 Currie Cup still needs work though. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 09:33, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – They just need improvement, not deletion. It would only take an infobox and a lead paragraph to bring it up to the standard of many of the other rugby Currie Cup season articles. Also, pretty clear case where WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS should apply as a keep argument – every rugby Currie Cup season since the 1890s has its own article, and it wouldn't make sense for the consistency of the encyclopedia to delete four in the middle just because those articles were badly written.

Redirect to Kroger#Former chains (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Arxiloxos and The Bushranger. Arxiloxos has established a connection between Barney's Food Warehouse and Kroger, and I agree with The Bushranger that redirects are cheap. The history should be preserved because it could help facilitate a selective merge using Arxiloxos' sources or the redirect can be undone if sources surface in the future that establish notability.

Grietje Jansen-Anker

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

Very short bio giving no details beyond what fits nicely on a list. See WP:NOPAGE.

A trout slap however to the editors who created this article for deliberately ignoring the best thing we know about her! Perhaps they excluded this info because it does not fit their agenda of exploiting low profile super old individuals as participants in their amazing mythical race of longevity where being born or dying a few days one way or the other can decide which of a multitude of 'titles' they can earn, and participants are required to 'prove' their ages to 'researchers' who 'verify' them. Of course these hobbyists only track people in selected countries and make up their own rules that exclude 75% of the people on earth from title elegability.

Subject has requested deletion of this article (or she would if she could have lived long enough to see it). She rejected media attention and told the Mayor to buzz off when he tried to bring cake to her birthday party. ^[1]. I'm loving this old lady so much I'm asking you to help her out and vote to delete this bio of a low profile individual who is notably not notable and spent a super long life trying to stay that way.

Delete as per WP:GNG and WP:NOPAGE. I don't even think this is notable, given that all "coverage" is of the "she lived ... oh wait, she died" variety, but let's set the GNG issues aside for a moment. There's simply nothing interesting or out of the ordinary to write about the subject. Her page can be easily summed up as a DOB, DOD, and a bullet point describing the brief time she was the oldest person in an arbitrary small fraction of the planet. This is classic material for a list. ~ Rob^Talk 03:12, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even if she passed the tests of WP:N and WP:NOPAGE, the subject clearly expressed a desire not to attract this sort of attention. While I am usually wary of deleting an article based on the subject's wishes (especially implicit ones rather than explicit ones), in cases of borderline notability such as this, it only serves as an additional justification to delete.

~~* Keep~~ This article is about a journal that has been indexed in several selective databases which are notable, such as Inspec, Mathematical Reviews, and Current Index to Statistics (for more search on the List of academic databases and search engines). Because of this, the article satisfies Criterion 1 of WP:NJOURNALS and it should be kept. - tucoxn\^talk 07:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Those databases are indeed notable. However, none of them are selective in the sense of WP:NJournals, so inclusion in them does not establish notability and this still fails NJournals#C1. --Randykitty (talk) 11:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What he called hounding, everyone , including admins, called trying to help. CrazyAces leaves whenever he faces scrutiny or blocks for disruption, both of which are allowed here. As for what you "stepped into", it was me suggesting you write based on policy, not the silly belief all AfDs are some form of revenge.

MurderByDeadcopy somehow I knew you would try and twist my statement to make it seem negative. I don't feel guilt for trying to correct errors that can easily be fixed if a user, like yourself, puts in just the most insignificant amount of effort to do so. Unless of course your definition of "guilt" is amending these mistakes, than I guess I'm overflowing with guilt.

Information Playboy's web page about the 1972 Playmate says that she was born in New York. Sources about the Burton/Hunt bride call her British. On the other hand, both were very tall and born in the late 1940s. Did she hop the Atlantic? If that was the case, I suspect that more recent sources would mention her nationality change. I suspect that they are different people with similar names, heights, and birth dates. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:44, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

John Hetherington

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

There's literally no contemporary evidence that this person existed. The British Newspaper Archive's earlier record of this alleged riot is from 1899. Ancestry.com's international edition finds only two John Hetheringtons in late 18th century London, neither of them demonstrably a hatter. Most of the alleged sources didn't even exist in 1797. The whole thing is a mare's nest. AlexTiefling (talk) 11:53, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear what the problem is here, there are clearly secondary sources which refer to the existence as John Hetherington as the inventor of the top hat. The earliest reference I can find to this is from 1899, there may be others. Given that we're not supposed to be doing original research as per WP:OR, the only fall back we have is reliable secondary sources, and these clearly exist. They could, of course, be wrong - but that's not our call to make. JMWt (talk) 12:18, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We're required to provide reliable secondary sources. The fact that the earliest available sources are a hundred years after the event, and their own alleged sources turn out not to exist, suggests that in this regard those sources are not reliable. AlexTiefling (talk) 12:31, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have two problems: first that we are not here to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. It is possible that all the sources are wrong about this person and the events, but that's irrelevant, they exist. Second, it is obvious that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The fact that this does not exist in the digital formats you've briefly used is not evidence that it didn't happen - there are many explanations which could be true - the sources are only available offline, they've been lost, etc. It'd be surprise to find that historical research about an event more than 200 years ago was as easy as looking at a couple of online sources, wouldn't it? On the substantive point, a John Hetherington lived at 12 Buckingham Street between 1764–1817, that's less than a mile from where the shop was supposed to be in the Strand. It might not be the same person, but it might be. There is no way to tell without doing original research, and wikipedia is not the place to do that. So we're back to using the WP:RS. If you don't like it, do the research and write your own book or thesis. JMWt (talk) 13:44, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Even if he probably is apocryphal, we have plenty of articles on possibly apocryphal people - I'd cite a few instances, but hey, the most famous example I can think of would probably be blasphemous to namecheck at this point in time. I mean, so many people love him and believe he existed and it would be in horribly bad taste to say he didn't exist. How cruel it would be to deny their existence. Think of all those poor people who would be heartbroken to think that, especially around this time of year, that there was probably never such a person as our Lord and Saviour, he who is known as Santa Claus. Sorry. Got a bit carried away there. Anyway, Hetherington is a well-covered character in the story of the top hat. I personally doubt his actual exixtence, but I don't think we should delete the article - if anything, this is an opportunity to provide reliable sources that challenge the fact of his existence, and informing researchers that such a person possibly didn't really exist. There are plenty of sources claiming he existed. Provide RS to show an alternative viewpoint, but do not delete. Mabalu (talk) 12:43, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Or merge and redirect to the relevant section on Top hat which I think is absolutely appropriate. It's a valid search term and a significant "origin story" which we shouldn't just dismiss - too many RS have taken up the story. Mabalu (talk) 12:50, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy with this outcome. A widespread urban legend can be notable, but it seems misleading to have a separate article about a possibly imaginary person. I'd support merging a better version of the current material into Top hat. AlexTiefling (talk) 13:55, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing that we keep this as an apocryphal story. Foxing the lede to accord with the details, sources in the text.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:04, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- it is a pity that no one has managed to trace this in the Hatter's Gazette, and give the primary published source. However the number of times the story has (apparently) been repeated makes it worth having an article to pin down its origin, whether or not the events actually happened. Some primary historical research would be useful. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:02, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just been reading the version from the London Times of 1926 - which appears to reference a relatively recent copy of the Hatter's Gazette as a source of the story - but which does not give the name of the 1797 source. If we could find the "old journal" it describes but does not name, that would be a much better reference. A fascinating but frustrating search, at present the only sources available seem to reference the story second or third hand.. I've seen other citations of news stories in the Times of 16 or 17 January 1797, but I can't see any reference in those editions of the paper. JMWt (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And to correct myself - according to this source the reference later newspapers are using is from the St James Gazette of 16 January 1797. I do not believe this reference is available online, but the source which quotes it appears to be a WP:RS. JMWt (talk) 22:32, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As our own article reveals, the St James's Gazette only existed 1880-1905, so our RS is not so R in this case. AlexTiefling (talk) 23:02, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable author, article not that well sourced. Notability is not inherited from being published in a notable newspaper. Some sources cited are not WP:RS. Alison ^❤ 22:19, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Vinciguerra is the one of the founding editors of The Week, he has written many articles. essays and books. His latest book, Cast of Characters is a major work on the early years of The New Yorker Magazine. The New Yorker gave him access to their archives to write the book, which they would only give to a notable and accomplished author. If he can make numerous appearance on CSPAN, then he easily merits a Wikipedia posting. W.W. Norton published his latest book, they are an established publisher who publish only serious authors, which Mr. Vinciguerra is. The article should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GustavM (talk • contribs)

Danny Bacher

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

The subject does not meet the notability requirements at Wikipedia:Notability (music) or more generally at Wikipedia:Notability (people). 4meter4 (talk) 22:15, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia notability requirements for musicians state: "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." As the artist has been reviewed twice by the New York Times (a non-trivial, reliable source), the page should not be a candidate for deletion. Deeeyewhy (talk) 23:08, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no indication in any of the references that the actor Dan Bacher, the director Danny Bacher, and the jazz musician Danny Bacher are the same person. Only one of four references could describe Bacher as the primary subject as two are reviews of the plays where the play is the primary subject and the Broadway world article is a press release most likely penned by the subject or his agent. If Mr. Bacher were the primary subject of a significant article profiling his supposedly notable career we would not have trouble knowing if these articles are indeed about the same person. This whole article is a construct of Original Research and there really is only one quality reference where Bacher is the primary subject. Even then, the article is really not about Bacher but about one particular performance at the Manhattan Club. There is no biographical information in any of these articles. The lack of any sort of biographical content is another indication of a lack of notability. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:25, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. From his official website, it appears that he is the same person who co-wrote and performed in The Funniest Show in the World (2006) and who performed in a jazz show Swing That Music (2015). Having said that, the claim to notability is very thin—two shows which have been reviewed in the space of nine years, and zero coverage of Bacher's life or career. The shows were in tiny theatres/cabarets. The Funniest Show in the World played in New York to a theatre that seats 100 people. True they were reviewed by the NYT, but then the NYT is also a local paper for the New York City area. The article is padded with name-dropping and appears primarily to be a plug for an album which hasn't even been released yet. It also has many biographical details with no published sources which suggests an autobiography. If the article is kept, all of that will need to be removed/rewritten. I'm willing to change my view if evidence surfaces of significant coverage of the claimed national and international tour of The Funniest Show in the World.

Conceptual tangent about the nature of straw polls Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Human3015: AfD is not a vote, it's a discussion. I would have updated my original comment except that the Admin said to put all new comments below the relist announcement. I also made no attempt to hide that it was the same person commenting; in fact I called attention to it. You are welcome to assert that you know Marathi; you don't have to prove it to me. It is good to know that Marathi sources have been searched, however, often editors will assert there are no English sources, then somebody else comes up with English sources, so the fact that you've searched is not a guarantee that there are no Marathi sources. That still leaves many other Indian languages that may have sources which have discussed the issue and need to be searched. And don't ever mess with my comment by altering it; that's a violation of Wikipedia policy. Thisisnotatest (talk) 08:59, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Thisisnotatest: If AfD is "discussion" and not "voting" then why you are voting twice? Voting twice is violation of policy. But lets not discuss on that.

@Human3015: I don't vote twice in elections and I don't vote at all on AfD's because a Keep, Delete, or whatever is not a vote, it's a recommendation. I did not try to hide that I was making both recommendations, so no foul play is occurring. The point of putting Keep on a particular recommendation is so that it is clear that it is an argument for keeping, not an argument for deleting. If I just marked it Comment it wouldn't be clear at all that I was putting it forth as an argument for keeping the article.

As for policy, it's clear that if I were commenting on the same reason for keeping and marked that Keep, it would be against instructions on how to interact with AfD. However, raising two unrelated reasons is not covered. The only reason this even came up is because in the time between when I thought of my first reason and when I thought of my second reason, someone posted a notice not to post anything above that notice, so I couldn't update my original notice. Otherwise, I would have just updated my original comment to show both reasons. (And I can't copy my first reason to my second reason and delete the first because the admin has already considered it.)

I'll post a question in the Village Pump (policy) for discussion as to how I would appropriately handle my second reason. In the meantime, I have flagged my second Keep as possibly being improperly noted so that nobody is confused by it. Thisisnotatest (talk) 06:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the previous AfD, in which this Books search was used to show the prominence of Marathi nationalism in reliable sources. What there is confusion about (and I agree) is whether this article describes a topic which is different from Marathi regionalism. I'm not able to comment on this, they appear to be synonyms to me. I find the arguments about nationalism vs. regionalism incoherent and it's not my area of expertise. But AfD is not cleanup; it's a notable topic, it should stay. Note that we had a separate Marathi regionalism article which seems to have been merged here some years after the previous discussion. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and possibly rename While the article definitely needs to be cleaned up and trimmed and its sources do need to be checked and verified and some replaced, the topic seems notable enough that some form of it should stay, perhaps it might have to be renamed under the suggested name "Marathi regionalism" or some other name. — Abrahamic Faiths (talk) 23:57, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. (1) We have similar lists for many cities in the US and Canada and the UK; we even have many individual articles for parks and similar spaces,smalland large, some as small as a single acre. Since WP covers the world equally, geographic features in all countries should get the same density of coverage as long as thee ar people to write them. Writing a combination article as a start is a particularly good idea, provided for particularly in WP:N section 9 "Topics that do not meet this criterion are not retained as separate articles. Non-notable topics with closely related notable articles or lists are often merged into those pages, " The situation has been provided for specifically b policy, and used for many thousands of combination pages in Wikipedia. For a large city, there will almost always be enough sources.

(2)And there are available sources here: the deWP article de:Grünanlagen in Freiburg has 26 references! They just need to be added. The criterion for deletion is unsourcable, not unsourced, and the references are right there already in WP, and just need to be added. When an article is translated from another WP, it's careless to nominate it for deletion without checking the original. Calvinkarpenko, ubiquity, please come back and look at them.

PFLAG (disambiguation)

Disambiguation page which just exists to dab a US organization from two international sibling organizations which are already listed and linked to in the "Outside of the United States" section of the US organization's article anyway — and after dabbing those three things, this then pivots into listing several other organizations which have similar mandates but aren't named this, and that's not what a dab page is for. Which means that this isn't a necessary dab page: the items that do need to be dabbed are already linked in the main article as it is, and the rest of them don't belong on this dab page at all because they aren't dab entries for this title.

Keep Otherwise, you can't even get to PFLAG Canada without going to the "Outside the US" section buried in the article on the US-based organization. But the Canadian organization dates from the 1970s and has nothing to do with the American organization! A similar argument applies to the UK organization with the near-identical title FFLAG ("Family and Friends..." rather than "Parents and Friends..."). Ditto PFLAG China. This will otherwise make for a rather glaring example of US-centrism in WP: type a search term (pflag); find a US organization; find other independent national organizations listed in the US-based article under "Outside the US" and which have independent WP articles, provided you read through the text on the US organization first... Ross Fraser (talk) 01:12, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FFLAG in the UK has no bearing on the appropriateness or lack thereof of a disambiguation page for PFLAG. The purpose of a dab page on Wikipedia is to point readers to the correct topic among things which have the same name, and only the same name — it is not to provide an extended list of things with similar mandates to PFLAG but different names. So the appropriateness of this page begins and ends with the Canadian and Chinese groups alone, and does not encompass FFLAG or COLAGE or Tehila at all — nobody is ever going to be looking for FFLAG or COLAGE or Tehila by typing "PFLAG" into the search bar, so they're not dab entries for the title "PFLAG". And if you're really that concerned about a reader having to scroll all the way through the US group's article to find links to PFLAG Canada and PFLAG China, we also have the option of just putting a direct "For the Canadian group, see PFLAG Canada. For the Chinese group, see PFLAG China." hatnote at the top of the PFLAG page instead of a link to a standalone dab page — the dab page also unnecessarily complicates getting to the Canadian and Chinese groups, because it turns that into a two-click process where a direct hatnote just requires one. Bearcat (talk) 01:24, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: FFLAG. There are many examples of disambiguation pages that link to other pages via names or terms that aren't in the title of the disambiguation page. E.g.: the science disambiguation page "Ecology" links to "The Ecologist" as well as (under "see also") to "Environmentalism". These pages exist to help the reader, so inclusion of FFLAG in the disambiguation page seems reasonable to me, though I agree that it should be listed in the "See also" section. Agreed that a hatnote would be a 1-click solution and while I wouldn't object to a hatnote uniformly applied to all three articles with PFLAG in the title, there are other national organizations called PFLAG that don't yet have a WP page (e.g.: Australia https://www.pflagaustralia.org.au/) so this hatnote might soon grow back into a disambiguation page. There is even a PFLAG UK (http://www.pflag.co.uk) also not associated with PFLAG in the U.S. and apparently also not associated with FFLAG. If any of them become notable enough to have a WP article (the Australian organization is very active), that's going to become quite the hatnote. Ross Fraser (talk) 10:32, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per PTOPIC "Is there a primary topic?" and with over ten times more traffic going to the US group than to any other, we have to accept that PFLAG in the US is the primary topic. So, with two other articles existing, and more potential articles, this disambig page is the standard way we handle it - not a multi-way hatnote, still less by a list buried way down in the primary article. The disambig page does need editing to cut out detail and remove articles with unrelated titles. And could the hatnote on PFLAG, instead of the standard text For other uses see..., say For PFLAG groups outside the US, see...: Noyster (talk), 21:52, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, this is a useful navigational page.

It's not clear who was the next oldest but it seems like it may have been Cornelis Jacobus Geurtz who died on 21 August 2012 at age 110 and 109 days but he would have been 107 and change when van Hasselt died (he was only five months younger) but it's possible that there were others who died between 107 and 110 and thus wouldn't be in the GRG charts. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gamergate controversy

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

Hashtag campaigns aren´t significant enought to warrant an article, the article itself is very subjective, repeats itself alot, uses emotionally loaded language, treats unverified and/or unverifieable claims as self-evident, uses biased sources using loaded language themselves, infringes WP:NOTSCANDAL and WP:SOAP, uses loaded quotes from random people who have no relevance to the subject or the sentence in any way, infringes the victimisation and accusation guideline of biographic articles, isn´t consistent if it describes the gamergate movement or the controversy of accusations to members of said movement and generally is written very subjectively. Due to the controversity and unverificablity of accusations to the movement and the constant misuse of the article as a political battleground by activists, there isn´t really any hope that this article would stay decent even if somebody managed to somehow get this mess of an article in control.

Aaron and Austin Rhodes

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

The relative notability guideline for articles of this type is WP:NMODEL. Per said guideline, three criteria must be met:

1. "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." The only non-chat show that the pair have appeared on (they've appeared on two chat shows), was Scream Queens, they appeared in less than half of the episodes, and had less lines between them than that of a short children's book.

2. "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following." In terms of social media, neither of the brothers twitter pages (Aaron, Austin) are verified. As for followers, they have roughly 50,000 each. Compared to me, they're superstars, but compared to other models on twitter such as Kim Kardashian who boasts 38,801,000 followers, Cara Delevingne who has 4,408,000, or Gigi Hadid with 1,081,000, they have a very minute fanbase.

3. "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." Another of the criteria that the brothers fail. They're your usual models, except they happen to be identical twin brothers, and are both gay. That's the entire reason that they're 'famous', and were brought in to the public eye, not for bringing anything significant to the field of modelling whatsoever.

A direct quote from the article sums up the rational for this nomination; "So far they have appeared on one magazine cover". Non-notable models. Azealia911 _talk 17:59, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A subunit of Miss Earth this WP:ORG has evidently picked one girl to go to a competition in total. Sourced only to the Miss Earth website and a facebook post, it lacks the indepth coverage to justify an article required by WP:ORGIN. Over a dozen sister articles for Miss Earth country have been deleted at AfD over the last year as seen on the template edits [25] so there is good precedent to delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legacypac (talk • contribs) 22 December 2015‎

Miss Earth Albania

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

The best I can figure out, this organization was either a part time business for a fashion designer or a part time job working as country director for the Miss Earth business. The single source for anything to do with the business is dead. The 11 sources for who they picked in 2006-2009 are all dead links. Google search provide little useful info. Their business website is also dead. There is no evidence most of the article was ever sourced.

We do know Miss Earth used a sock army to build out numerous pages of a Miss Earth WP:WALLEDGARDEN.

This nomination has precedent. Within the last 12 months the sister articles for Miss Earth India, Miss Earth Crimea, Miss Earth Ireland, Miss Earth Lithuania, Miss Earth Macau, Miss Netherlands Earth, Estonia, Miss Earth Finland, Miss Earth Croatia, Miss Earth Hong Kong, *Belgium as seen in the edit history of the template [26]

Comment. I hear your concern about the sock army building out numerous pages of Miss Earth. But we have an article about Miss Earth itself, List of Miss Earth countries, and a list of Miss Earth <country> articles. Some of them are redirects, but some are real articles. Are you planning to nominate others too, i.e. Miss Earth Germany , Miss Earth Mexico, or Miss Earth 2008? --Mondiad (talk) 18:05, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Each of Miss Earth organization needs to pass WP:ORGDEPTH and there are AfDs on several others that do not.

Just because an organization doesn't get much news coverage doesn't mean it's not notable. We are talking about an IPTV service that's serving thousands of people and is being sold by major retailers (I have seen their demo units at Leon's. Just being mentioned in a major news outlet like The Globe and Mail is a sign of notability. The rest of the information was verifiable via reliable, 3rd party sources. Unless they get into billions of dollars in revenue or are involved in a major sex scandal, they won't be receiving any more news coverage. The reason I put up this article in the first place is the fact that I was surprised by the fact that an article didn't exist, while a poor quality article for a similar-sized competitor is allowed to stand (with a polite suggestion to do a complete rewrite). Bottom line: I went through the effort to put together a decent stub on a local business that serves all of Ontario and Quebec, even received mention by a major media outlet, is given floor space at a $2,000,000,000 retail chain and that effort is going to go to waste because you don't find it sufficiently notable?FiReSTaRT (talk) 13:57, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Here are two sources that provide nontrivial coverage about the subject:
1. Brousseau-Pouliot, Vincent (2014-12-09). "Distribution télé: bientôt d'autres options au Québec" [TV Distribution: soon other options in Quebec]. La Presse. Archived from the original on 2015-01-02. Retrieved 2016-01-02.
  The article notes:
  
  Zazeen, une entreprise ontarienne, compte lancer officiellement son service télé au début de l'année 2015. Leur stratégie: offrir un forfait de base ratissant assez large - incluant notamment des chaînes sportives comme RDS -, mais à un prix inférieur aux forfaits actuellement proposés par les géants des télécoms.
  ...
  Disponible en format beta au Québec depuis quelques mois, Zazeen compte lancer officiellement son service de distribution télé au début de l'année 2015. Pour profiter du forfait télé à 29,95$ par mois, il faut être un abonné internet de Distributel ou Acanac (les propriétaires d'Acanac sont aussi ceux de Zazeen). «Les gens n'aiment pas les grandes entreprises de télécoms, mais ils se résignent à faire affaire avec elles, dit Aaron Thomas, directeur du marketing de Zazeen. Avant que les jeunes de 20 à 35 ans se débranchent du câble, nous voulons qu'ils essaient une autre option.»
2. O'Shea, Sean (2015-05-25). "Companies use transit ads to offer big discounts, but details are in the fine print". Global News. Archived from the original on 2015-01-02. Retrieved 2016-01-02.
  The article notes:
  
  But many consumers may not know that the $19.95 deal advertised by Zazeen TV is only good for one month.
  ...
  Zazeen embarked on an aggressive subway and bus billboard campaign to increase market share. The ads promise “Over 100 HD channels and live sports” for $19.95 a month. But in small type at the bottom of the ads there is a caveat: “First month only. TV service $49.95 after promo.”
  The company told Global News it has not received any complaints about the ads, even though they may contravene the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards. Section One of the code reads: “Disclaimers and asterisked or footnoted information must not contradict more prominent aspects of the message and should be located and presented in such a manner as to be clearly legible and or audible.”

Just adding some perspective as I think it's bad form to vote for your own submission. This deletion discussion revealed a dedicated panning in a major, national media outlet (coverage doesn't get more notable than that), in addition to significant coverage in a smaller, legit media outlet and borderline coverage in another major, national media outlet.

Delete or simply Redirect to Dissimulator as either would be conceivable and I would've commented here sooner until I noticed this again a few moments ago.

Redirect or Delete: I am an inclusionist at my core, where I find no meat-on-the-bone with regards to the BLP in question, it can either be a redirect or outright deleted. It must have took tremendous work to cull up the sources with marginal mentions, where I give credit to whomever took the arduous time it took to put this biography together.

The result was no consensus.

This wiki article was created by a COI user and mirrors relevant advertising material, misleading claims and all. This in itself would not lead me to file this request, but the fact that one of Sinovoip's promotional websites for this product links to this article as promotional material I find particularly disconcerting. As far as I can see, most of the article would have to be thrown out and rewritten to justify the removal of the advert template, which may make it a target for COI vandalism.

While we're at it, I'm not sure this article meets WP:NOTE criteria. Acceptable third party sources are quite thin on the ground, most of the press it receives (that I've read at least) either reiterates misleading claims from the advertising material or simply nods at its existence.

I suppose I should declare my own COI: I have been burned by the manufacturer's misleading claims over this product line. If they want to lie on the internet, that is well and truly their prerogative, but I believe Wikipedia is not the place for them to hawk their faulty wares. Bawb131 (talk) 01:15, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This product is merely a clone of another product known at the "Raspberry." Most of the sources given are merely links to technical specifications. Known of the sources comes anywhere close to conferring notability. Article is heavily promotional. I declined speedy deletion as spam, but the article does come close, but not quite blatant spam. Article was written by a single purpose, COI, account. Safiel (talk) 07:24, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please Retain This article is a very useful summary of the product family, which I find very useful. It is very difficult to summarise or document any product family without duplicating the kind of information that you would expect to find in product marketing material, and as such this is not a valid argument for deletion. Nor is it a valid to exclude an article because you don't like the company or persons associated with it. This product exists, there is a large community using and interested in it, of which I am a member, there every reason that its existence should be reflected in a Wiki entry.

I make a substantial donation to Wiki every year because I think it is a fantastic resource, in fully support this material being included in Wiki. What's missing in the article is some background to the manufacturer, the design and motivation of the product, this is easily solved by "adding" not "removing. For me personally it is not the most important content.

To be clear, I haven't proposed deletion because I "don't like the company or the people associated with it." I'm just as dedicated to the cause of a free encyclopaedia as you, and to dismiss my proposal by mentioning that you "make substantial donation[s]" isn't really fair. My proposal for deletion is as stated above: lack of good third party sources, misleading and/or false claims and the fact that this company has decided they can leverage Wikipedia for their own ends. The lack of appropriate citations feeds the propagation of incorrect information, and as for the last surely you don't think it is appropriate for your donations to be used to help deceive consumers? Regardless of whatever biases I'm trying to overcome, it still meets Wikipedia deletion guidelines. Bawb131 (talk) 10:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: both the NOM and the other comments above appear to be arguing WP:ILIKEIT or WP:IDONTLIKEIT when the standard should be references in high quality secondary sources. I'm seeing articles in The Register, Digital Trends, and a range of other publications which suggest enough WP:RS for notability. The NOM has declared a WP:COI, it seems to me the issues highlighted could be discussed on the page and if necessary referenced rather than calling for a deletion. JMWt (talk) 13:45, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Before I say anything further, I must admit my Google-fu is rather lacking. I wouldn't have opened this AfD based on my own results alone, but the (rather brief) talk page discussion and a heavy lack of other citations on the page itself leads me to think WP:RS is a reasonable concern. I also want to make clear that although I do have a COI as stated in the NOM, it serves as a motivation and not a reason (if that makes any sense). The proposal was not put forward in the spirit of "I was wronged and I want to wrong in return" (as has been suggested) but rather I'm just seeking to ensure that the information available from Wikipedia reflects the reality of this product line rather than the falsehoods present in the official advertising material. Unfortunately, sources that counter the official advertising material do not (AFAIK) meet WP:RS as they are in the form of forum posts and the like. Given this is the case, as well as the article's COI origins and the potential for further COI vandalism it is my opinion that the best way to achieve neutrality is the removal of the article in question.

I understand the continual allusion to 'misleading claims' without further elaboration may raise some red flags, so here's what I know (mainly pertaining to the R1 board, since it is in my ownership and hence the one I've read most closely into):

The "open source" hardware in question actually has no source code available. Like, at all. The best I was able to find was the source for the DTB, which alone lands it pretty far away from credibly being advertised as "open source." This appears to be the case for all products in the line, not just the R1.

The R1's gigabit switch performs rather horrendously. There are forum posts detailing benchmarks here and here. In my own benchmarks, data across the switch gets around 300Mbps but data to the R1 itself is as low as 60Mbps, a full 16x slower than the article mentions.

The R1's wifi performance is not great either (if you can manage to get it working without losing power to the board!). This blog post mentions speeds of 32/11Mbps one foot away when the product is mentioned in the article as achieving a maximum throughput of 300Mbps. I understand the legalese "theoretical maximum" nonsense, but if a distance of ~30cm causes it to perform 9x slower than the theoretical maximum than I don't think the theoretical maximum is a particularly relevant figure.

The article implies that you can actually power the thing. Given how much people's results seem vary, I guess there's some variation between different individual boards, but in my case using two USB OTG cables to supply power yields a board that with occupied SATA port will lose power if you stand it upright, let alone if you attempt to use the wifi AP or HDMI. See this for further info.

These are some of the issues that plague just one device, whose market penetration is so low that the only relevant sources don't meet WP:RS. I've been sitting on this for some time, but with this information in mind I really can't see how WP:IDONTLIKEIT applies. Any reliable source I can find about this particular board either omits the above facts (which render the device itself a hair above useless and Sinovoip's activities dishonest at best and predatory at worst) or doesn't meet WP:RS criteria. Bawb131 (talk) 14:48, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot speak to the validity of your technical knowledge here - and I can't find the relevant policy shortcut - but we can't just take your word for the fact there is a problem, the whole of this encyclopedia is based on citing relevant secondary sources. And as I said above, there appear to be independent secondary sources which give notability. As Safiel says below, I also have no beef with this product and had never heard of it before. My feeling is that there is enough mentions in secondary sources to give WP:GNG, that's it. JMWt (talk) 17:16, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In answer to some of the comments above, I would note that my personal vote is not based on a like or dislike of the product. I never even heard of the thing prior to my stumbling across this article on speedy deletion patrol. As I said in my deletion comment, most of the sources are merely technical specifications and none seem to point to the subject satisfying WP:GNG. While clearly the other participants may have personal feelings one way or the other towards the subject of the article, my vote is based purely upon the notability guidelines. Safiel (talk) 15:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Now having registered, can I first say that my request to have the article retained is because I genuinely value it. I do accept that it is far from perfect, but it is a good starting point for something better. Nobody can help to improve it if it no longer exists because it has been removed. To this end I have put my money where my mouth is and begun to chip away at the article to improve it, though I don't have much spare time so this will be a slow and intermittent process. This might be the more positive way to deal with such an article, particularly if you have sufficient knowledge to recognize and correct its deficiencies. It is also a way to contribute to Wiki, though I must say a cash donation is much easier!. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianmbetts (talk • contribs) 01:53, December 23, 2015‎ (UTC) — Ianmbetts (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Great! I don't disagree, editing is a much better option, but as JMWt said above the basis of the Wikipedia project is reliable third party sources. In the absence of WP:RS to contribute to the article, this NOM has been filed referencing non-WP:RS sources. But in any case, I wish you luck. Bawb131 (talk) 10:27, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please Retain I see no violation of NPOV. Banana Pi is most advanced board from the family of "Raspberry Pi like" devices. This fact is not (strongly) advertised on the page (even could be). Every Banana Pi board is for technical people like different (new and shiny) smartphones from Apple/Samsung. These boards are very popular in technical schools and technical universities (I'm teaching on both types of these schools). Microsoft put Windows 10 IoT Core on these boards.[27] On the page some technical details could be deleted because are duplicated. --Milan Kerslager (talk) 22:19, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please Retain I can't actually pin down any major problems with this article upon closer inspection. Upon reading everyone's arguments I'd point out there seams to be a lot of WP:WEASEL used to defend and attack the deletion of this page. I would point out that the number of uses makes me uneasy as well. I would suggest some improvements or more sources pointing to the problems discussed above in the article itself if such problems exist. Andrdema (talk) 06:01, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please Retain Despite reading the comments, I don't really get why this page is up for deletion. This article is relevant to anyone interested in the ongoing development of SOC IC's and the single board computers they enable. I have one of these somewhat underpowered boards and use it as a general PC every day. If it is to be considered for removal, then why aren't the articles about RaspberryPi, Beagle Boards, and any other number of these devices also up for removal. (is there a 'Remix mini' article yet?) I have reread this article, and I don't find it advertorial. Even if it was, the appropriate course of action would be to correct the article. This piece of hardware IS entitled to an entry in the encyclopaedia. Kevbo (talk) 14:36, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please Retain I am very interested in these types of products, and it's extremely helpful to have a lot of openly reviewed material about the BananaPi here in one place. Any product with market traction has notability. If there are errors in the article, correct them! Countless articles on Wikipedia describe commercial and open source products of all kinds, many of which exhibit some degree of promotionalism. Nor is WP noted for consistency, as articles are often cobbled together from many edits, becoming lopsided in their coverage. Thus it is unfair to single out this one. Wikipedia already has a bad reputation for excessive and often politically motivated deletion. Indeed it has given the term "Deletion" (from the body of human knowledge) a whole new and rather unsavory meaning. Please don't make it worse. A3burke (talk) 00:06, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Radiocommunication service. And merge the definition there or to other appropriate article(s).

Just a definition. Speedy challenged on the ground that ":This article is strict in line to the International Telecommunication Union´s (ITU) ITU Radio Regulations (RR) article 1.112 definition, agreed by almost 200 administrations during WRC conferences. It is in line to the corresponding ITU RR articles 1.110 Space radio system, 1.111 Satellite radio system, 1.113 Satellite link, 1.114 Multi-satellite link and last but not least 1.115 Feeder link. It´s nice to have the article Communications satellite / Satellite communications, however, from the strict scientific point of few it is almost popular level. At the other hand the article Communications satellite / Satellite communications might be related to Radiocommunication service, e.g. Mobile-satellite service (1.25), Land mobile-satellite service (1.25), or Broadcasting satellite-service (1.39), to mention only a few... " Looking at the ones listed in the template at the bottom of the article, they all have the same problem. Either they should be expanded, or grouped in some such manner as" ITU definitions. '" or all be redirected. DGG ( talk ) 01:05, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as suggested by nom, e.g. to Radiocommunication service (merging definitions there, and removing its many links to "main articles") as bigger and better articles on the subject already exist; all the dictionary definition stubs should similarly be redirected, no need to AfD them. And by the way that template needs serious surgery too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AlDub Episodes

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

This article doesn't stand a chance because it will never meet WP:V and it basically duplicates content found at List of Kalyeserye episodes which is already an extraordinarily problematic article. I'd probably recommend a speedy-delete under A10 (Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic) except that AlDub Episodes was created on Nov 5 2015, so "recently created" isn't met, and some admins take that kinda stuff literally.

For some background, one of the longest-running television series in the Philippines is a daily variety program called Eat Bulaga!. Within this series, they have a live segment called Kalyeserye, which from what I can tell, is a tongue-in-cheek, serialized fictional comedy soap opera involving a "love team" Alden (male) and Yaya Dub (female), who are constantly manipulated by some meddling grandmothers (guys in drag) some of whom are are trying to get the two together in romance, and some of whom are trying to split them up. While there is a general shape to each "episode", most of the dialogue seems to be improvised, and some characters, like Yaya Dub I believe, don't speak at all, they just lip sync to other people's dubbed voices. That's probably more than you need to know, and I'm confused just writing it.

The big problem, is that since this is a live daily segment within another live daily program, there's no reasonable way to verify what happened in the "plot". I doubt there will be reruns, and it would be silly to release these on DVD, because they're not actual structured episodes like you'd expect in a regular TV show. It would be like trying to catalog the daily banter between Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford on The Today Show. There's simply no real way to verify any of it, because no public library is going to have the entire Today Show history in their archives. So WP:V is not likely to ever be met here. Further, while the article creator did make a good effort, there are only 9 "episodes" in this article, while over 135 have been logged at List of Kalyeserye episodes. That's an uphill battle that will never be won. And for an example of how problematic that article is, you needn't look further than this "episode" summary:

"Alden tried to cheer Yaya Dub who was not in a good mood after all of her social media accounts got hacked. In doing so, he tried to sing for her, and he imitated Lola Nidora using Dubsmash."

What? Totally pointless venture and I may consider nomming List of Kalyeserye episodes for deletion for the same reasons. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article is very clearly written promotionally, along with being un-notable. CatcherStorm ^talk 09:32, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A recent film like this would a decent chance at garnering WP:RS, especially since Iran remains a hot-button issue. There is one in the article, the feature story on page 5 of the Spartan Daily university newspaper (you can scroll down to the read it). It says the film "had only one showing in a theater" and "This movie is expected to go straight to DVD." Even direct-to-DVD films have to meet NFILM, and this one doesn't seem to. A notable DVD production that presented Iran in a less hostile light might be expected to garnered coverage from, say, alternative media—but not this one. Now, there is the possibility we're missing Persian language coverage. This film does seem squarely aimed at the US market, but I suppose Farsi coverage is a possibility. For that reason I'm holding off !voting at this time. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:50, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per coverage in such as Payvand and Efylakas (Greek). Documentaries rarely have the same level of coverage as do mainstream films. A redirect with partial merge to Mehdi Ghafourifar is also suitable. If kept, tone and format need to brought into line with MOS:FILM. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 13:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as evaluating the current article and sources, there's simply nothing to suggest any imaginable better notability and improvement for this article. SwisterTwister talk 05:23, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikic¤l¤gy Do Not Delete as Okechukwu Oku WON the AAFMF awards for Best Video Editor, Best Cinematographer, and Best Film Director. The AFRIFIMO AWARDS & Film/Music Festival (AAFMF) is one of Africa's top Movie Awards, and I believe this speaks of his notability. This indeed is evidence of notability as he is listed on the Award Organizer's site^[1] as a recipient of the Awards and this link is one of the sources in the story, besides, I do not believe, a person must win an award to be notable. There are several great men and women of the arts who are noteworthy, but have never received an award. Pastorflex

Pastorflex, Afrifimo Awards & Film/Music Festival award is not what I will considered a major film award in Africa. Let me know, if he has won the Africa Movie Academy Awards and I will be glad to withdraw my nomination. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 07:15, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikicology Sequel to his win at the AAFMF, which you do not consider to be major, Oku has also been nominated for the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA), in my opinion, I do not believe that his winning in his category should be a criterion for his inclusion in Wikipedia. He is a well known and respected Film-maker in Nollywood who has worked with a lot of the major Actors and Actresses in the Nollywood Film industry, as well as his work with Nigerian Musicians, as a video director cum music producer. His exploits are well documented across several Nigerian Online entertainment media including Nigerian Entertainment Today also known as TheNETng and Pulse Nigeria.

I feel the article is valid. Wikic¤l¤gy are you saying that you have to win the AMAA or AMVCA to be on an encyclopedia? I do not think that is a valid case. He is also a nominee at the 2016 AMVCA, which is part of the article as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.159.64.138 (talk) 10:18, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikic¤l¤gy in my opinion, I feel the article is in order, the references are viable and indicate that he is an existing Nigerian film-maker who has done considerable work and has been nominated for the AMVCA as well as having won other minor African film awards. The sources and references show that he has been actively involved in Movie making with a number of reputable actors in Nigeria. There are a few contents that are not found in the sources/references e.g. his education is not fully described in any of the sources, this to me is not a basis for deletion, but the article should be tagged as requiring more references.

Winning some minor awards is not enough to merit an article on Wikipedia. Notability is not inherited. Having produced one or two movies for notable actors does not make him notable. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 20:32, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikic¤l¤gy Keep he did not just win some minor awards, he was also nominated for 2014 Nollywood Movies Awards and the 2013 Golden Icons Academy Movie Awards for his work in Editing and Cinematography respectively. There are several independent articles about his works and contributions to the Nigerian Film Industry. I agree with the earlier comment about the need for more citations regarding his personal life, but to base his notability on his winning certain awards that you consider to be 'major' or 'minor' sounds a bit too subjective. Even the birth and dedication of his child was reported by some of Nigeria's top entertainment news sites e.g. Pulse Nigeria, which was also cited as a source/reference in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pastorflex (talk • contribs) 09:52, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, January–June 2016

This article should be deleted after merging any useful content with List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, 2016. Almost certainly the latter article will need to be split at some point, but we do not know yet what the level of violent incidents will be. The 2015 article was split at 30 June, but the resulting article for the second half turned out to be too big, though just about tolerable. We don't need to decide the split in advance, so it is best to start off with just "2016" in the title, and just wait and see. NSH001 (talk) 00:01, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
