Spirit and Truth

~~Delete~~ Redirect to the Hillsong article. Despite the fact that it is the first release by a musical collective that had a PROFOUND impact on CCM, I can't find any sources discussing it.--¿3family6 _contribs 22:31, 24 June 2014 (UTC) I now did a search through the most relevant sources at WP:CCM/S, and still cannot find anything. Even Cross Rhythms, which has reviews of most of the other Hillsong albums that aren't discussed anywhere else, do not have any articles on this album. I sympathize with Jair Crawford, but I simply cannot find anything to support this album.--¿3family6 _contribs 15:27, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please forgive me if my syntax is rough. I am very new to this. The album Spirit And Truth was the very first album ever released by Hillsong, and it was only released on cassette and if I remember correctly it was simply sold locally by the church at that time, which was much smaller than it is today. There probably will not be any online sources to find on the album for this reason, however there could be offline sources on the album. Maybe we could try to cover that ground as best we can before going forward with a delete? This is, after all, their very first release. Jair Crawford (talk) 01:59, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I'm going to keep my vote a weak keep because of the Cross Rhythms coverage. Since it's only one source, my vote is a weak keep, and not a full keep. Correct me if I'm doing the vote wrong. I'm very new at this. Jair Crawford (talk) 02:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep changed vote due to expansion of article. ~~Weak keep~~ there are obviously more sources than are currently cited in the Wikipedia article. He was not just involved in the Anglo Leasing scandal, Deepak Kamani was the principal agent of the Anglo Leasing and Finance Company, a company that had no physical place of business, no directors and no shareholders according to a government report. If that were all, then he'd be a 1EVENT BLP. But arguably his lawsuit against The Star is a separate, if related, matter. The "society page" in external links suggests broader notability. Apparently (subject to additional library research) as Chairman of the Zuri Group he is a "hotel tycoon". --Bejnar (talk) 18:07, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are now a few more sources in the article. --Bejnar (talk) 20:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are now reliable sources for two other "improprieties", aside from Anglo Leasing, a 4-wheel-drive bulk sale in 1994 and a "boilers" bulk sale. --Bejnar (talk) 17:38, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, j⚛e decker ^talk 22:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was asked to come back and reconsider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mosfetfaser#Deepak_Kamani - There have been edits additions from Bejnar - it still looks like an attack story, it looks more like an attack story after the Bejnar changes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepak_Kamani - so after the alterations I can not change my position to require removal from publication - strong delete Mosfetfaser (talk) 17:21, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to be balanced, but all of the independent, reliable sources were negative, except the "society" pages. Nonetheless, I included positive information from non-independent sources where they met the criteria at WP:Identifying reliable sources#Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves. I thought that the original claim was that he did not meet the WP:GNG standard or was WP:BLP1E, so I tried to be inclusive of events reported in independent, reliable sources. I think that the sources demonstrate that he is notable, contrary to the limited noteworthiness indictment by the nom. Please let me know what can be done to make it not an attack page, while staying within the policy requirements of Wikipedia:Verifiability and demonstrating notability --Bejnar (talk) 18:40, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the story when I suggested deletion was bad and your edits made it more attacking - what can you do to not make it an attack page - move to delete Mosfetfaser (talk) 18:56, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So if a living person is a scoundrel, the proper methodology is to wait until they are dead and then emplace a Wikipedia article? Or does this apply to dead people as well, that scoundrels do not deserve entries in the Wikipedia? Or am I wrong and does Deepak Kamani fail WP:GNG now that you have removed most of the reliable independent sources? An attack page is a page, in any namespace, that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material which is entirely negative in tone and unsourced. --Bejnar (talk) 17:40, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this article was sourced, see this version. It is not an attack page because it was sourced to independent reliable sources. --Bejnar (talk) 04:37, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the sole thing referenced to reliable sources is that he was apparently questioned but not charged in a financial scandal. The rest is PR fluff that is not independent of the subject. Especially since he wasn't charged, I think that WP:ONEEVENT applies and the article should be deleted. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:28, 5 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Stateless nation

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

This article is a soapbox. It's also covered by numerous other articles. This template links to a few articles covering this: Template:Separatist movements per continent Serialjoepsycho (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is not a useful list. There must the thousands of "ethnicities" within India — but no-one is proposing that each of them should become a nation. Maproom (talk) 21:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ The content is already is covered neutrally elsewhere. I notice Hawaii's inclusion. It indicates there are 1 million Hawaiians. It doesn't show though if all or a majority of those 1 million support the highly fragmented Hawaiian sovereignty movement. I also have to note the use of language. Stateless nation. I've not checked the source listed as [1] but it seems abit cherry picked noting the following language used in the picture, "The U.S. President and Nobel Prize winner Woodrow Wilson published the self-determination law in 1918." I'm sure without reviewing the source but I think it is refering to the Fourteen Points. I question the language here. Using POTUS in such an authorative power over the world. Pushing a POV about the complicated issue of self determination. Over all this is a bit of a soapbox.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 22:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Çomment Looking at self determination, perhaps the caption is referring to Atlantic Charter rather than the Fourteen Points. But if so, then "published" is not the right word, as there was no formal document for the Atlantic Charter. "Imagine there's no countries / it isn't hard to do" -John Lennon. Anarchangel (talk) 04:38, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That couldn't be. The caption Lists Wilson as President and it also provides a year of 1918. Some of the points in the Fourteen points relate directly to self determination. Just for example. Point 13. The reconstitution of Poland. Which Poland Ceased in about 1790 something.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 05:59, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it may have been his speech on 11 February, 1918.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 06:30, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The topic is quite notable, being covered by entire works such as:

Encyclopedia of the Stateless Nations
Stateless Nations: Western European Regional Nationalisms and the Old Nations
Understanding Scotland: the sociology of a stateless nation
Plurinational Democracy: Stateless Nations in a Post-sovereignty Era
Arabism and Islam : stateless nations and nationless states
Stateless nation‐building: Quebec, Catalonia and Scotland in the changing state system
From the National State to the Stateless Nation 1821-1910
Strategies for the stateless nation: sustainable policies for the regions in Europe
Stateless nations and the emerging international order

It seems especially absurd to be nominating this for deletion when the Kurds seem on the verge of establishing a state and Scotland threatens to re-establish its independence. Please see WP:BEFORE. Andrew (talk) 12:00, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

and there's already an article on it called Irredentism.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 01:09, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- From the definitions at the start of the two articles, they do not appear to be describing the same concept. One (irredentism) describes the desires of one sovereign state to annex territory from another sovereign state. The other (stateless nation) describes a group of people who otherwise meet the definition of a nation, but lack a sovereign state of their own. I don't see where one concept is identical to the other. --Jayron32 01:12, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - I actually took the articles suggested relation at face without much thought. However further search leads me to the article on Separatism. Serialjoepsycho (talk) 03:29, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Nope. Separatism implies that there's a group of people that desires separate political sovereignty for themselves. This may or may not be related to the concept of a stateless nation. Some stateless nations seek such separate sovereign states, some do not, some have differing opinions on the matter among themselves, some separatist movements are not based on ethnic or national lines, the two concepts deserve separate articles because they describe separate concepts. --Jayron32 00:43, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - No sorry. It can imply a desire for seperate political Sovereignty. It can also imply a desire for autonomy as well. It can also imply choice segregation. All stateless nations are sepratists. Not may or may not be. It is ethnic and in some cases racial seperatism.Serialjoepsycho (talk)
Keep - many scholarly and popular books have been written about the concept. The article is not so poor as to require starting from scratch. Bearian (talk) 17:16, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The topic itself passes WP:N, per the sources provided by User:Andrew Davidson. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 08:14, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clearly a notable concept regardless of what should or shouldn't be listed as examples, and distinct enough from the other concepts the nominator has serially offered as the same without clear or persuasive explanation (to quote the nominator: "I actually took the articles suggested relation at face without much thought.") postdlf (talk) 19:34, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article did suggest the relation. And upon reflection of the comments above by Jayron, I did not consider that postion and did take the articles suggestions at a face value. However in my opening I did link it to Separatism and further discussed that connection later. In short it is Separatism. Like Staeless Nations, Separatist movements can call for secession or autonomy. All Stateless Nations are considered Separatist Movements.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Considered by whom? Jayron's explanation above on this issue has more weight in my view than your opinion here. postdlf (talk) 21:41, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only communicable difference is the narrower definition of a stateless nation. Specifically that the separatists be a nation without a state. I haven't went thru the entire list but a noticeable characteristic of a number of stateless nations is their classification as seperatist movements. As far as who, Svante Cornell. His Dissertation is about stateless nations or discusses them in this context. And honestly I could go and find more. But I fail to actually see the controversy in statless nations as separatist movements. Bring a separatist movement I see no notability for it's own free standing article. That doesn't mean it's not notable. I expected a conversation here could determine that. However that isn't much point in continuing forward in this atmosphere so I withdraw my nomination.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 23:09, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, notable concept. There are obvious issues with sourcing though, and it is questionable if that list of nations should be included.--Staberinde (talk) 10:15, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dave Wilson (Ontario politician)

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

WP:BLP of a city councillor in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors per WP:POLITICIAN. While there is referencing here, it all supports regular, everyday minutiae of a city council career and fails to make a particularly compelling case that he is in any significant way more notable, or more worthy of permanent coverage in an international encyclopedia, than most other city councillors. The fact that he unsuccessfully ran as a candidate in a federal election does not boost his notability, either, as candidates do not qualify for articles just for being candidates. Delete.

Delete another article on a local politician who fails our guidelines for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:38, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this local ordinary politician, based on past outcomes and in accord with the nomination. Wikipedia is not designed to be a list of every local councillor. Bearian (talk) 17:19, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Politicians are the one category of biographies to whom GNG is generally not applied; instead a Special Notability high bar is frequently used, giving automatic passes to elected members of national and provincial assemblies, tending to give easy passes to national and provincial party leaders, and dealing with unelected politicians harshly on a case by case basis. Elected members of city councils are a grey area, with those of major metropolitan areas almost always kept while those of tiny towns usually treated as self-serving promotion. And so here we have a bio that is in the grey area of the grey area, an elected city council member from a mid-sized city. My opinion is that we should keep this one and here's why: it's a well done piece, it's a well sourced piece, and Wikipedia is better off with the piece than without it. Ignore All Rules, Use Common Sense. Carrite (talk) 15:29, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not better off with than it is without biographies of people who aren't topics of broad interest to a national or international, rather than exclusively single-city local, readership — such an article is not viably maintainable for WP:BLP compliance if it doesn't attract a broad enough readership that vandalism or unsourced POV criticism can be caught promptly. Which is exactly the key reason why the consensus was established that city councillors do not pass our inclusion rules just for being city councillors except in a few very specific circumstances — we don't have the resources or the manpower to adequately maintain thousands upon thousands of biographies of city councillors for policy compliance. We need a politician's claim of notability to be credibly at least at the level of the province or state, precisely so that there is a broad enough audience for it to keep Wikipedia's content standards in force. Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete local politician, we're not Ontariopedia. Cavarrone 12:48, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG. This was challenging to review, because all the sources are offline. I've checked a few at random, to ensure they are legit. Since they were, I'll trust the rest are. I think 39 stories is pretty substantial coverage. Of course, most weren't in-depth about him personally. But, if you add up what they all say, you have a very substantial article. This article contains far more *verified* facts than most MLA/MPP or MP articles. I understand being an alderman or federal candidate does not grant notability, but it also should not revoke notability given by GNG. I think throwing out such a heavily researched article would be a huge mistake. If only every Wikipedian took the time to research a subject to this degree. I think we've forgotten why we noramlly give articles to elected MPs and not alderman. It's because we assume the MP is more likely to have substantial coverage than the alderman. Yet, in this case, it's proven the alderman did get the coverage needed. The nom dismisses the coverage as "minutiae", but that sets up an impossible standard. You've predetermined that local politics is not signficant, and therefore dismiss any coverage of it, and than you find there's a lack of significant coverage. We measure signficance by the level of coverage, and there's signficant coverage. We should not impose our own opinions on what counts as important, but should instead follow the sources. --Rob (talk) 09:29, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the problem is that all city councillors always generate sufficient coverage in their local media to get past WP:GNG on that basis. They are not a class of topic where some would get past that gate and others in the same city would not; local media have a legal and ethical obligation to cover local politics, so all city councillors technically always have a base level of coverage that would pass our GNG rule if an exclusively local claim of notability were sufficient. But we do not have the volume of editor manpower necessary to properly maintain the thousands upon thousands of biographies of city councillors that we would have to accept if nominally passing GNG on purely local coverage were the only criterion that had to be met — the wikimodel of allowing anyone to edit an article at all, and then relying on the oversight of other editors to ensure that the articles remain properly compliant with our content policies instead of becoming advertorial campaign brochures and/or hotbeds of unsourced personal criticism and partisan vandalism, only works for articles that attract a broad spectrum of interested readers, and falls on its ass very quickly for low-visibility topics.

Accordingly, the test that city councillors have always had to meet in the notability sweepstakes is not just the existence of local media sourcing — a criterion that wouldn't exclude any city councillors at all — but rather a claim of notability that's demonstrably and substantively more than strictly local in nature. Most city councillors can only do that by serving in a city that's large and internationally famous enough that its local politics actually generates national and international coverage in its own right, but a select few in smaller cities can still get over the bar by emerging as a nationally recognized spokesperson on a political issue (LGBT, environmental activism, etc.) that gets that person into national or international media. Either way, however, the test has always been that the person is likely to be known to a broad spectrum of readers that cuts outside the boundaries of a single city — because we cannot properly maintain the sheer volume of content that we would have to accept if merely being a city councillor were a sufficient claim of notability in its own right.

And what's lacking in all of the Hamilton city councillors that I nominated for deletion last week is any substantive reason why anybody outside of Hamilton itself should have any interest in them. Every city councillor in Hamilton has been mentioned in enough Hamilton Spectator coverage to get past GNG if a local-to-Hamilton claim of significance were all that we required — but for very good reasons, people who are notable primarily or exclusively as city councillors have to clear a much higher bar than merely local coverage or significance, because most cities simply do not have the ability to provide us with a large enough spectrum of responsible, committed editors to keep articles properly and adequately monitored for policy compliance if the topic's notability and "fame" is limited to that one city alone, and almost nobody outside of that one city is ever actually going to see the article very often, let alone have enough interest in the topic to actively keep it watchlisted. Bearcat (talk) 19:29, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that there's a community consensus on WP:GNG that's substantially different than a plain reading of what it actually says, than you should seek a revision of it to match the version that you are promoting. What's happening is people who read what the guidelines say, carefully follow them, and carefully demonstrate an article meets those guidelines as written are making articles only to have a huge amount of work deleted. We shouldn't expect editors to have to read through all the AFDs to find out what happens in their particular area of interest. --Rob (talk) 21:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not suggesting an alternate reading of GNG that differs from the existing consensus; I'm clarifying what the notability consensus actually is for city councillors — when they're deemed to have passed GNG or POLITICIAN and when not, and why that consensus is what it is. Virtually all of our notability cutoffs, including GNG, generally require far more than exclusively local coverage to deem that a topic has passed. A musician doesn't normally pass NMUSIC if her RS coverage and notability is exclusively local to one single city (even if you can cite 100 purely local articles, she still has to meet at least one criterion that would make her a topic of broader national or international interest); a television or radio personality doesn't normally pass our inclusion rules for those topics if the sourcing and notability claim is exclusively local to one single media market (even if you can cite 100 purely local articles, he still has to meet at least one criterion that would make him a topic of broader national or international interest); and on and so forth. We virtually always require, in fact, substantive evidence that a broader readership, not exclusively local to one single city, would or could have some interest in the topic. Even for GNG, purely local single-market coverage, supporting a notability claim that's exclusively local in nature, has been quite consistently deemed not to pass it when that's been tested at AFD.

If consensus is what you claim it to be, than clearly WP:GNG as currently *written* does not match consensus, and should be changed. So, you should seek a change in the wording of WP:GNG to match the consensus, as you see it. You keep on re-arguing what consensus is, but nothing you're saying can be found in what is written in guidelines. The word "local" can't even be found in GNG or anywhere in Wikipedia:Notability. Most editors don't follow AFD as much as us, and have no way of knowing what this "consensus" is, since you're promoting something only found by your experience in AFD, and not written in guidelines. How exactly do you think editors are supposed to know all of these rules you espouse, if they're not written in guidelines? --Rob (talk) 22:32, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Bearcat . Bearcat has done some great work over the past few months in developing a greater consensus over the meaning of WP:Politician. Unless they otherwise meet WP:GNG, unelected candidates for federal offices merit a redirect to a relevant election page, local municipal councilmembers (unless part of a world-class city) and small town mayors are deleted. Ambassadors are scrutinized to see if they meet WP:GNG or another criteria. A greater consensus is also emerging on how large a city might be for the mayor to merit notability under WP:Politician. (Personally, I think the bar should be set at 100,000). This consensus is apparent for those people following these AfD debates on politicians, and is a good rule of thumb for this project. Enos733 (talk) 19:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I haven't done anything to change or develop a greater consensus over the meaning of WP:POLITICIAN. I may have been one of the more forceful and active explainers, in some recent discussions where there was some confusion or dissent, of what the existing consensus actually already is and why — but I certainly haven't created any new points of consensus that were in any meaningful way different from the existing standards. Bearcat (talk) 23:11, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat - agreed, but consensus is something that develops and redevelops over time - as editors come and go - as new information or understanding about sources change - or as editors change their minds about certain categories. In your work, what you and others are doing is reinforcing the existing consensus that has developed (and at this particular moment). So, in a sense, these AfDs are a part of a continuing process of how we understand the meeting of WP:POLITICIAN, WP:GNG, and what is and what is not notable. I just want to applaud your work.

Comment: I'd be inclined to advocate deletion, on the grounds that this is about as vague and useless a list as it comes (never mind the number of entries that state specifically that ice hockey isn't actually played there) -- would Bhutan be list-worthy as an "ice hockey" country if I had a pickup pond game with a buddy and the video went up on YouTube? -- but the nom hasn't actually proffered any valid rationale to delete. "It's not that good" is certainly not a valid reason, and WP:HOCKEY and WP:COUNTRIES are the pages for the associated WikiProjects; they don't in any way, shape or form constitute notability criteria.

Weak keep if fixed up. There is overlap with articles such as Ice hockey in Africa and articles on ice hockey in individual countries. This list could be edited and links provided to existing articles that cover continents and countries: that would fulfil a legitimate purpose as navigation. I'm concerned that redirecting it to List of members of the International Ice Hockey Federation will obscure information on some countries which may have played hockey or play hockey but are not members of the federation. Although I certainly agree there's no sense in duplicating information on countries which are active in the IIHF. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:41, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As far as I'm concerned, such a list serves a useful purpose and concisely conveys a plethora of information on worldwide hockey. While I will concur that the sourcing is sub par at best and that most of the countries where hockey is a total unknown (Burkina Faso, Maldives, etc.) should be removed, I wouldn't advocate for deleting the entire article. I also agree with Colapeninsula that the potential for losing valuable information exists were the article to be deleted. For instance, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are hockey-playing countries - albeit on a small scale - but as neither country has joined the IIHF, the details presented on the page would disappear from the wiki. Many such claims, as with the aforementioned countries, are easily sourceable and I have the requisite knowledge to locate said sources. But just as note, the SIHR has (or had) profiles detailing "all" (non-hockey countries included) countries from the letters A-E. So it could serve as a useful resource for some of the lesser-known countries where activities may exist in some form. --Hockeyben ^{(talk -} ^contribs) 14:09, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment. It's a bit obscured, but both Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are listed in the last template as significant non-members.

While this article was kept in a prior discussion back in 2006, Wikipedia's inclusion rules and content standards have evolved significantly in the eight years since, and are now much stricter than the ones that permitted it at the time. Consensus has since determined that city councillors don't meet WP:POLITICIAN, except in a very narrow range of internationally famous "world" cities in the millions population range (thus excluding this city) — and the sourcing isn't up to contemporary standards either.

Keep - This has already been kept at AfD once... Politicians are the one category of biographies to whom GNG is generally not applied; instead a Special Notability high bar is frequently used, giving automatic passes to elected members of national and provincial assemblies, tending to give easy passes to national and provincial party leaders, and dealing with unelected politicians harshly on a case by case basis. Elected members of city councils are a grey area, with those of major metropolitan areas almost always kept while those of tiny towns usually treated as self-serving promotion. And so here we have a bio that is in the grey area of the grey area, an elected city council member from a mid-sized city. My opinion is that we should keep this one and here's why: it's a tolerably well done piece, it's a tolerably well sourced piece, and Wikipedia is better off with the piece than without it. Ignore All Rules, Use Common Sense. Carrite (talk) 15:34, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a poorly sourced piece — and since consensus can change, the fact that it was kept once before (eight years ago, as I pointed out, under a much looser set of content standards than those that apply in 2014) does not mean it's entitled to be kept forever without significant improvement. And Wikipedia is not better off with than it is without biographies of people who aren't topics of broad interest to a national or international, rather than exclusively single-city local, readership — such an article is not viably maintainable for WP:BLP compliance if it doesn't attract a broad enough readership that vandalism or unsourced POV criticism can be caught promptly.

WP:BLP of a city councillor in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors under WP:POLITICIAN. While the article is not as badly sourced as some of the other city councillors I've nominated for deletion today, the volume of sourcing present is not enough to demonstrate that he's more notable than most other city councillors. His current candidacy for mayor doesn't help, either, as candidates for municipal office do not qualify for articles on Wikipedia just for being candidates — no prejudice against recreation in October if he wins the mayoralty, but he's not entitled to an article just for being a mayoral candidate or a city councillor.

Keep. User:Bearcat/Whatever: Where a municipal politician does not pass one of the size-based inclusion criteria above, their chances of being considered notable enough for inclusion may be improved by the use of national or regional, rather than exclusively local, sources. For instance, a small-town mayor or a non-metropolitan city councillor who can be shown to have garnered coverage in The New York Times or The Globe and Mail is more likely to be considered notable than one who can be sourced only to the local community weekly.

Brian McHattie has garnered coverage in regional and national publications on a number of occasions including the Globe and Mail [5], Toronto Star [6], [7], and Metro News [8]. The article has been updated to include more non-local sources. Keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hmcnaught (talk • contribs)

— Hmcnaught (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

You're citing an as-yet-undistributed draft, which I have yet to even submit for the necessary consensus review to even have it adopted as an essay (let alone an actual, binding inclusion guideline), as prima facie proof that he passes the actual notability guideline in its actual form? Er, no. And even if that unfinished draft were in any way binding on Wikipedia, there's still a big difference between "more likely to be considered notable" and "will definitely be considered notable" — "chances may be improved" is not the same thing as "guaranteed to be kept". (And incidentally, considering the deeply-intertwined interrelationship of Hamilton with the GTA, the Globe and the Star and Metro are part of Hamilton's local media landscape. And his name being mentioned in coverage of something else is not the same thing as coverage of him, either — those articles are not substantively about him, but merely glance off his name once or twice in the process of being coverage of something else.)

And in addition, it bears noting that I strongly suspect a conflict of interest here — brand-new Wikipedia contributors who suddenly appear in an AFD discussion about a politician, as their first-ever contributions to Wikipedia, are almost never truly disinterested and neutral parties. Bearcat (talk) 22:41, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hamilton and GTA are separate markets with their own media sources in both print and television. The Toronto Star is properly described as a regional paper quite separate from the local market of the Hamilton Spectator. The Globe and Mail is widely known as one of two national Canadian newspapers and cannot accurately be described as a paper local to Hamilton any more than it can be considered local to Montreal or Vancouver. Coverage in these sources, combined with significant coverage in numerous local reliable and mainstream media sources spanning radio, television, print, and web meets the notability criteria described in Wikipedia:Notability (people): Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". Keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jthorton2014 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 26 June 2014 (UTC) — Jthorton2014 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

The Toronto Star most certainly does include Hamilton in the coverage area of its local sections. The Globe and Mail prints dedicated "Toronto" sections which are not distributed to the rest of the country, and it most certainly does include coverage of Hamilton in that local section. He is not the subject of any of the articles that have been added to the article today as extra "sourcing"; he is merely named, in passing, in a handful of articles whose primary subjects are other things. And the fact that this comment was your first-ever contribution to Wikipedia means that you're raising the same conflict of interest suspicions as Hmcnaught above.

Keep - Politicians are the one category of biographies to whom GNG is generally not applied; instead a Special Notability high bar is frequently used, giving automatic passes to elected members of national and provincial assemblies, tending to give easy passes to national and provincial party leaders, and dealing with unelected politicians harshly on a case by case basis. Elected members of city councils are a grey area, with those of major metropolitan areas almost always kept while those of tiny towns usually treated as self-serving promotion. And so here we have a bio that is in the grey area of the grey area, an elected city council member from a mid-sized city.

WP:BLP of a city councillor in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors under WP:POLITICIAN. The only other substantive claim of notability here is the fact that she's related to two other people who do pass POLITICIAN (husband was a mayor, daughter was a federal MP) — but notability is not inherited. The article is "referenced", but only in a very poor style that includes the name of the newspaper and the date, but not the actual title of the reference in question — making it effectively an unreferenced article anyway, since the references aren't verifiable as things currently stand. And even then, none of the content suggests that she's more notable in any substantive way than most other city councillors who don't qualify for articles. Delete.

Keep per WP:GNG. There are several hundred articles with her exact name and "Hamilton" I found using Proquest. I only added one to to article so far, on her leaving council, which was an indepth piece exclusively about her. Below I listed a few other substantive pieces. The only thing preventing a comphrensive full length well cited article is somebody having the large amount of time/interest required.

WP:BLP of a city councillor in a city not large enough for its city councillors to pass WP:POLITICIAN just for being city councillors. In addition, while the article does cite sources, nearly all of them are primary or unreliable ones, and the few that pass muster are not enough to make him more notable than most other city councillors. For an extra bonus, the article contains several unverifiable WP:NPOV violations (e.g. "Mr. Braden is a problem solver who applies innovative thinking to many of the challenges facing all Canadians"), and is edited so rarely that it still asserts that he will run in an election that took place three years ago. (That candidacy doesn't get him over the POLITICIAN bar either, as he didn't win the seat and people don't qualify for articles on Wikipedia just for being candidates.) Delete.

Delete This is not "Ontariopedia" and we do not need articles on every city councilor in the province. It almost feels like we have such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, we're not even remotely close to that. People trying to create articles on city councillors who don't pass our notability rules as written are a problem that exists everywhere — Ontario does not have a higher volume of such articles being attempted than California or Texas or Connecticut or Yorkshire or Leicestershire do. (There might be a slight difference in how much you're aware of them, since as a resident of Ontario who actively works with categories I frequently throw a batch at AFD all at once, when necessary, instead of just nominating one isolated case and not noticing 15 other AFD candidates at all, as might happen elsewhere — but trust me, these exist everywhere and not just in Ontario.) Bearcat (talk) 16:58, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

..........and that is a problem, how, exactly?!?! Carrite (talk) 15:45, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

City councillors anywhere outside of major, internationally famous metropolitan cities are almost never a topic of even the slightest interest to anyone outside of the councillor's own city — and because of that, are very nearly impossible to adequately monitor for WP:BLP compliance. I've come across many biographies of city councillors where editors with an agenda have inserted unsourced and WP:NPOV-violating personal criticism, and that criticism has survived in the article for months because the person wasn't a topic of broad enough interest for any responsible Wikipedians to actually notice that it was there. That fact is just one of the many reasons why the standard has long been that a municipal councillor normally only qualifies for an article if you can make a credible case that they're a topic of much broader than usual interest to a national or international, rather than exclusively local, readership — such as serving on the council of a major metropolitan world city, or somehow achieving substantial recognition and fame well beyond the city limits of their own home cities (e.g. by emerging as a nationally recognized spokesperson on a political issue). Bearcat (talk) 17:12, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Politicians are the one category of biographies to whom GNG is generally not applied; instead a Special Notability high bar is frequently used, giving automatic passes to elected members of national and provincial assemblies, tending to give easy passes to national and provincial party leaders, and dealing with unelected politicians harshly on a case by case basis. Elected members of city councils are a grey area, with those of major metropolitan areas almost always kept while those of tiny towns usually treated as self-serving promotion. And so here we have a bio that is in the grey area of the grey area, an elected city council member from a mid-sized city.

Do Not Delete Gauni story is not as it is been seen behind a keyboard. It has to be told to help it identify as notable person.

Delete - as I stated on my talk page, while communicating with the article creator, the article subject fails the golden rule - apart from a few youtube interviews, there are pretty much no relevant results if you search for the name on Google. This person, with the current secondary sources available, is just not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. I fail to understand why it was recreated after so many other editors reached this conclusion too, and the page creator was aware of this. Add this to the general poor (potentially un-encyclopedic) quality of the article, and I endorse its deletion. --BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 18:04, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Do Not Delete~~ - that's exactly my point. Your points of ref are same searches on Internet where as there is more word of mouth notable references. It has taken me consistent effort to keep convincing so many editors but "hard work" pays off. Just to show that getting subjective does not derive your end results. Once can shrink and ref and get "Gauni" a start. Once they see even a one line mention others will build on it. How many people can be a firefighter, write books, make films and give everything away.

Gauni is the first ethnic guy actually to achieve that and Rock Paper Dice Enter is the first commercially released 100% Canadian feature film of suspense thriller genre from City of Edmonton to released worldwide this is as confirmed by Global news live yesterday. My challenge has been how do we build on all that information.

CommentI hope this is right way of defense. I am getting advise from very cool Editors. So lets do this;

1. For "Gauni" I have been constantly seeking right reference. Lately his profile has started showing up in public there is There is hardly any reference of him being ethnic. There are two remarkable first's here - First Brown Volunteer Brown Firefighter for City of Brampton, there is reference about it with the City and Mayor's speeches but no way to present.Hence with the film itself Rock Paper Dice Enter the Mayor, Minister of Culture and The Senator from Ottawa were present on opening night of film Rock Paper Dice Enter. How many times one sees that on a opening night of film. The reason they were there because Gauni has that notability of what he is doing for community. This has been in news and when I had references from Senate of Canada making that clear mention and one Editor thought of it as it was with poor intent 2. For "Gauni" My other right references are his Bibliography. The book is part of Five star good read. Harper Collins also has references of more stuff coming out soon but hard to present 3. For "Gauni" My other right references are his volunteer work. Part of his Heart and Stroke is public but the other part I cannot reference back is part "Million Dollar" pledge team There are no clever reference here. That is "correct" because I am presenting what is in public domain. I have no accessibility to all other references to be presented here but I have sincerely tried to connect dots I rest the case on what is Wikipedia mandate and respect itDanVanKant (talk) 20:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)DanVanKantDanVanKant (talk) 20:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of voice actors

AfDs for this article:

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

This is just way to broad of a list. There are hundreds, if not thousands of voice actors out there. This list is not even complete, and even now, it is too long to navigate. We already have categories for voice actors that can be used. If someone was to go through the effort to divide the article into separate articles for each nationality (ex: List of American voice actors, List of British voice actor, etc) then I will withdraw my nomination, but that is not easy to do. JDDJS (talk) 15:23, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but strip out all names that don't have articles here. As long as it is limited to those that are known primarily as voice actors, and not including people that did a voice over once, it is a very reasonable list. A similar list where we police the names fairly tight is List of festivals in the United States. List just needs mild pruning. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 15:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- No, I'm proposing a deletion, but I am willing to settle for a split. Including every voice actor in the world, even if it's just the notable ones, into one article is too much. JDDJS (talk) 20:24, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - They you would discuss and properly fork it, you would never delete it. "This article has too much accurate and sourced information" is a poor excuse to delete. Holding a deletion threat over editors if they don't instantly fork it, well, is rather unseemly. AFD is the wrong place to discuss forking it, the article talk page is. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 20:36, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - Per WP:NOTDUP, this list article is complementary to (the subcategories of) Category:Voice actors. Per WP:SIZESPLIT it's a good candidate for splitting, since the article is at around 195 kilobytes, but lack of such being performed is not a valid deletion rationale. List inclusion criteria, potential splits, etc. can be further discussed on the article's talk page. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:17, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Gonna play devil's advocate here and point out that Category:Voice actors is a Container category.

Controversial Reddit communities

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

Disparate list of links that have subjectively been termed "controversial" by editors. This is original research, and without sources to define these subreddits specifically as being "controversial", has no place on Wikipedia. Zambelo; talk 11:16, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is a spinout of the "Controversies involving Reddit" section from the main Reddit article. Each section has one or more independent sources detailing a controversy that took place involving the community in question - 1 2 3 4, and most sections even have sources directly calling the community or their views "controversial" - 1 2 3 4. If a section does not warrant inclusion, it should be removed, but that is a matter for the talk page and not AfD. Breadblade (talk) 13:51, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. These are sourced and the alternative to a page collecting controversial Reddit communities would be separate articles on /r/jailbait, /r/creepshots, /r/mensrights etc. that people would just call to merge anyway. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 14:58, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above; article is well-sourced and is definitely not original research. The communities aren't deemed controversial by editors, but by the reliable sources referenced in the article. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 21:06, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename. In most cases, it's the controversy that was notable rather than the community. That a creepshots community exists may be controversial in its own right, but not that a MensRights community exists. Men's Rights is certainly a controversial cause, but unlike creepshots or jailbait the controversy isn't over its mere existence. And certainly /r/technology is not a "controversial community," but a community in/for which there has been controversy. So I'd say keep but rename to something like Reddit controversies, List of Reddit controversies (with formatting changes), or something more general if there's more that could be included like Social impact of Reddit. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 07:30, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the nominator's point, even if I don't agree with it. I've seen the same issue arise when there's a "Controversies" section in an article, and someone disputes including incidents unless a source explicitly uses the word "controversy" in describing it. While it can lead to inconsistent standards, sometimes you just need to wing it and rely on group consensus for what to include within the scope of a section or article. Agyle (talk) 07:25, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Quite the opposite of WP:OR, this is well sourced (as something titled "controversial" should be) and the length and content warrants a standalone article.

Comment: OTAVIO1981, I think you do have to clarify your points, because basically you just linked us to another discussion, in Portuguese, which few people are able to fully understand. What would be your arguments for the deletion of that page? Basically, the AFD discussion at the PT Wikipedia concluded that most of the article was original research supported by highly questionable sources, that such geopark does not exist, and that the user who created it was closely related to the subject. However, some users admitted that a small part of the article was relevant, and they decided to create a page called "Paleontology of Rio Grande do Sul" with material coming off that page. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 19:16, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Delete partly on the WP:BLOWITUP principle and, particularly, because I can't see much (or any) evidence that a recognised Geopark exists of this name. I got momentarily excited when I saw a UK Daily Mail article but, unfortunately, Paleorrota isn't mentioned anywhere in it. The non-English language Wikipedias normally have a much lower inclusion criteria than the English one and I'm inclined to believe a large number of Portuguese speaking Wikipedia editors when they say there's no evidence this Geopark exists. It is quite probably a piece of original synthesis by the 'Paleorrota Group' and their web forum. The UNESCO list of Geoparks only includes Geopark Araripe for Brazil, for example. To be honest, if someone could point to one example of a reliable source which establishes the existence of this place, I would probably recommend a 'keep and clean up'. But it looks to me like this article has been a plaything for a single editor for plenty long enough and something major needs to be done. Sionk (talk) 19:21, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you all for your comments. Stewart of Appin, I agree that you guys can reach a different conclusion about this article. I didn't analyze how different portuguese and english article were but since I looked for reliable sources and pt and couldn't find any, I opened this AFD without check if they were different. Victor Lopes, my only argumment is that are no reliable source about "paleorrota" or "paleoroute". All hits at google are related to this forum group that try to create this geopark or mirrors from wikipedia. google books or google scholar don't return anything about such geopark. (to be very fair, "this paper" mentioned paleorrota but is a copyvio of this version of karamuru vorax's article). Yes, you are correct that some editors mentioned that exists a relevant activity in paleontology in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) and decided to create pt:Paleontologia do Rio Grande do Sul (check google translation) which I believe is somehow similar to a clean up mentioned by Sionk. However, pay attention that "Paleontologia do Rio Grande do Sul"'s article don't mention paleorrota since there's no reliable source to point this as an area or even as an informal name for an area in Rio Grande do Sul. Regards, OTAVIO1981 (talk) 20:40, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That said, I vote for delete per the above reasons. In addition, the article seems to gather too much loosely related information, it could benefit from a major cleanup, to say the least. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 00:12, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree with what Victor Lopes said above, that the article needs a cleanup. However, I have found various citations to Paleorrota in official documents from all levels of government:

Federal

Ministry of Mines and Energy (page 376)

State

Secretary of Tourism of Rio Grande do Sul
Secretary of Tourism of Rio Grande do Sul, "Santos Caminhos da Fé"

Local

Municipality of Santa Maria and 9 other cities of the region: "Santos Caminhos da Fé" (page 2)
Municipality of Candelária (page 19)

Even though there is no such thing as an official geopark, the concept of Paleorrota seems to be widely spread in the region, as these documents attest. The article could be kept if this point is made very clear in the lead. Alternatively, the article could be renamed to Paleontology in Rio Grande do Sul, with the required adaptations to the text. —capmo (talk) 00:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice to recreation of an article that properly represents the sourcing. This article, under this title, fails WP:V.

Delete Mein_Kampf#Popularity has a source from the BBC and the original from Spiegel as well: Hitler dodged taxes, expert finds-BBC News Mythos Ladenhüter-Spiegel Online. The info can be added to bio and also to complete the information about the book that made him all the money: Mein Kampf. It is important to note, as his bio does, that the book only sold well once he had entered into political office in 1933. Everyone apparently wanted to see what all the fuss over this new politician was about by reading his book, rather than the success of the book reflecting an interest in what he was saying that led to a movement to get him elected, if you see what I mean.

Delete Indi release from a notable band before they made it big. Not notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Let me first say that I can overlook the band's titling of this album as the internet bubble was just kicking off, but now with the age of Google, bands should never title an album using a very commonly used verb, especially one that they may end up using (as MercyMe did) in a song title later. I turned up plenty of results with MercyMe song titles with "look" in them, and lots of articles with both MercyMe mentioned and the word "look" used, but I couldn't turn up anything on this album of note.

The Worship Project

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

The coverage of this album is not sufficient to pass GNG and it really does not pass WP:NALBUMS even with that one lone review of the album at Cross Rhythms. All it has got is to be merely mentioned in the bands overall history. HotHat (talk) 05:30, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete A release from a notable band but without sufficient coverage. Not notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:02, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There actually are three sources given in the article - the Cross Rhythms review, an interview by Kim Jones of About.com, and a CCM Magazine article reprinted in Crosswalk.com. In addition, the album sold 60,000 copies, VERY impressive for an unsigned artist, and its success is what helped this now VERY important band get signed on INO. I did a quick Google search, and while I could not find anything right off the bat, I highly suspect that other stuff is out there, as G-hits searches don't find everything. Hold up! - I had a brain wave. I forgot that I own a copy of The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music, published in 2002, right when MercyMe was getting started on INO. I knew that there is an entry on MercyMe (there's basically every even marginally significant group in this book), and I just looked it up, and sure enough, a size-able part of the entry, which granted is not very large as MercyMe was just getting going, is dedicated to The Worship Project. Date-wise, Powell confuses it with Look, but his discussion of songs indicates that he is reviewing The Worship Project. All of this can be found on page 587, for those who have access to the book, or who are able to get to that page on Amazon preview. I was going to go for "weak keep" based off the previous three sources, but with four sources discussing the album I'm changing my vote to "keep".--¿3family6 _contribs 13:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment On 19 June 2014 the nominator PRODed some 50+ Hillsong-related articles see here. From 21 June I noticed this list and that some 10+ of these PRODs were charting albums at either ARIA or Billboard. I have gone through more of the 50+ list and added sources where possible and dePRODed any that I felt had a reliable source for their existence. I was hoping to get time to supply further sources to attempt to establish notability. With so many articles to research this is not necessarily achievable in a short time-frame. The nominator has sent most of the dePRODed articles straight to AfD.

Notability on Wikipedia, as measured by the existence of substantive coverage in reliable sources, has to already exist for a person to qualify for an article — "the things he's done already at 17" don't demonstrate notability yet if they haven't been covered in real reliable sources yet.

New Liberalism (book)

Book that doesn't meet WP:NBOOK after some verification. There are several references, but many are 404 (including the book's official website.) One verified article from a local BC paper (the author lives in Abbotsford, a city in BC.) Reception section is completely unreferenced. Uses YouTube, blog posts, and direct links to image files as references. Can't find independent reviews in reliable sources, so despite the visible references, this misses the WP:NBOOK bar.

DBE, being the most junior (and numerous) award of Britain, is not sufficient in itself to establish notability. Zero depth-of-coverage in any third party reliable source. Prod was disupted. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:36, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She's a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for crying out loud. Of course she qualifies per WP:ANYBIO #1. The nominator clearly has no understanding whatsoever of the British honours system. A dame is the female equivalent of a knight. It is most certainly not "the most junior (and numerous) award of Britain". The Order of the British Empire is the commonest British Order of Chivalry, but it has five grades. We have always held that the three highest grades (GBE, KBE/DBE, CBE) are sufficient for notability, whereas the two lower grades (OBE, MBE), to which the vast majority of those honoured are appointed, are not. Although the Order of the British Empire is the most junior order overall, Knights and Dames Commander of the Order of the British Empire outrank anyone except knights and dames of other orders, including members of other orders who hold honours below knighthood/damehood. They even outrank knights bachelor, which most British knights are. Knighthood/damehood (in all orders, not just the Order of the British Empire) is only conferred on about sixty people every year - if she's notable enough for the United Kingdom (a country of 60 million people) to give her such a high and rare award then she's easily notable enough for a Wikipedia article. "There is no evidence of any notability at all"? I really cannot believe someone said this about someone honoured with a damehood! What, pray, is notability? Playing a single professional football match? Appearing in a few films? Singing a moderately popular song? All these would get you an article. Or contributing so much to your profession that you were considered worthy of being awarded one of the highest honours your country can give (one of only eight women awarded the DBE in that particular six-monthly honours list)? Unbelievable! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:11, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply To quote from Order of the British Empire: "... is the most junior and most populous order of chivalry in the British and other Commonwealth honours systems." OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:28, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please reread what I wrote. It really is a good idea to have a proper understanding of the system before you comment on it. And it is complex. Just because an order is more junior than another does not mean all the grades of that order are more junior. Both the seniority of the order and the grade of the honour must be taken into account. A Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire is outranked by a Dame Commander of the other orders, since those orders are more senior, but she outranks a Companion or Commander of the other orders, since those grades are more junior. DBE is the normal honour given to a British woman who has been accorded the equivalent of a knighthood, since Knight Bachelor, the commonest knighthood (and by common, I mean about thirty are awarded every year!), can only be awarded to men. Very few damehoods are awarded in the other orders (maybe half a dozen every year). In addition, note that the other orders are awarded for specific things: the Royal Victorian Order for service to the Royal Family, the Order of St Michael and St George for diplomatic and overseas service, the Order of the Bath for civil and military service. The Order of the British Empire is the only one that can be awarded to anyone. The other orders are basically only more senior because they're older, not because they're awarded to more deserving people. A DBE isn't promoted to a DCB; if a senior civil servant, for instance, gets a damehood she'll get a DCB instead of a DBE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:40, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment: I suspect that this confusion might have been avoided if the DBE in the biography had been linked to Order_of_the_British_Empire#Current_awards rather than the head of the article. The way the postnominal template plays out is going to create confusion in any reader uneducated in British awards.--j⚛e decker^talk 22:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sorry, but what would be even better is if editors didn't rush to nominate articles for deletion unless they had done a bit of research. It takes work to write an article; it takes no time at all to nominate for deletion someone else's work in a field in which you're unfamiliar. If it's too much trouble to follow links properly and read around the subject (i.e. by scrolling down to the first section in the article) then maybe editors should stop to think whether they should really be nominating for deletion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:10, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply Thanks for the info, Necrothesp. I retracted my statement above. Just keep in mind that most of us are Americans who aren't familiar with British orders of chivalry.
  Still, the article needs serious revision; I would like to see specific, cited evidence of how she's contributed to education ("Dame Yasmin Bevan has been an influential figure within the UK education system having contributed to policy development through the Expert Group on Assessment and the Practitioners Group on School Behaviour and Attendance," is non-referenced and vague, and the rest of the document is a list of awards). Gdfusion (talk) 15:17, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just bear in mind that anyone with the title of Sir or Dame has definitely done something very significant to earn it. Unless they're a baronet! -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:40, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While WP:BIO does not mention titles, I did find this discussion on the talk page for WP:BIO, from which a consensus emerged that an MBE/DBE in itself does not automatically satisfy notability guidelines. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:08, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you're getting confused between two entirely different things. An MBE is the lowest grade of the Order of the British Empire. Thousands are awarded every year. I would entirely agree that it doesn't confer notability and have argued such many times. That's what that discussion is about. A DBE is the second highest grade of the order. No more than a couple of dozen are awarded every year. Unlike an MBE, it gives the recipient a pretitle (Dame) that they use for the rest of their lives. That definitely does confer notability. The two things are not the same. In fact, they're nowhere near the same. WP:ANYBIO does state that notability is likely to be conferred when someone has "received a well-known and significant award or honor". A damehood certainly counts as this. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:39, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about the person in question, nor do I have any strong opinion either way about her notability or whether the article should be kept or deleted. But to clarify, although the Order of the British Empire is the most junior British order, that doesn't mean that the most senior members (GBE: Knights and Dames Grand Cross) rank below the most junior members in the next order up (MVO: members of the Royal Victorian Order). Instead, the various degrees of the different orders are interlaced in a slightly more complicated way. In the United Kingdom order of precedence (in particular see the section on baronets and knights), a DBE or KBE ranks just below a DCVO or KCVO, and just above a CB. In the 2014 Birthday Honours list, only nine UK citizens were appointed DBE, so it's a fairly exclusive club, and I think we should therefore regard it as reasonable supporting evidence of notability. -- Nicholas Jackson (talk) 09:32, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep Surely the fact that this person is a dame and is in this list List_of_Dames_Commander_of_the_Order_of_the_British_Empire is enough to confer notability. The nominator is obviously not from Britain as they do not have a good understanding of the honours system. This person certainly has a greater honour than just an OBE bestowed upon her as the nominator has suggested. Seasider91 (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep being a Dame or Knight is notable and hardly a most junior (and numerous) award. Clearly the article needs work but that is not grounds for seeking deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 09:36, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I do not know of this woman, but I also do not know of most of the people with articles in WP. She is a Dame, that should make her notable enough for a Wikipedia page in her own right. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 10:35, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WTF. Nominator should please familirisae himself with the British honours system, and not nominate with such needless aggression which seems borderline abusive. MBE is the lowest award from the Order of the British Empire; DBE is the second highest. FFS. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:42, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No real notabilty in its own right and there's nothing that could be merged into the Dundrum article.
