The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. From the opposition, it is argued that notability is clearly established through Google Scholar. I believe that based on the impact of the subject's works, notability is established. I have no prejudice against speedy renomination, however.

Interpersonal wellness

Fails Notability guideline Veggies (talk) 22:58, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with Veggies. This is a neologism invented by the article's author. I PROD'ed the article simultaneously with Veggie's AFD nomination; I think the deletion is non-controversial enough to not need an AFD. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 23:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I concur. Not much that hasn't already been said here. Bagheera (talk) 23:33, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I did a Google Books search to determine if "interpersonal wellness" is used in any contexts independent of that described in the article. It appears that the concept has been discussed in a few WP:RS, especially in the The Praeger Handbook Of Education And Psychology, Volume 1, pg. 342.. The article as currently written clearly is not up to Wikipedia standards (e.g. WP:OR), but a completely re-written article with appropriate sources may have some WP:POTENTIAL. --Mike Agricola (talk) 00:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's not clear that "interpersonal wellness" is anything more than a vague neologism; I don't see a compelling source that establishes this as a technical term with a set meaning. Worse, I found a source using this term from 1994, long before the origin claimed in the entry, and I can find no reliable source that mentions Joyce Odidison in connection with this term (for example, she is not mentioned in the Praeger Handbook reference given above).

Comment - to my great surprise I achieved a Googlewhack when searching for 'sufi saint Hazrat Shaikh Khwaja Wajhullah Shah Chisti-Qadri wal Arbaiin' - the WP article itself. I strongly suspect this is a spelling issue as sufi saints are generally well described so sources should be plentiful. Urdu help, anybody? Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:15, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Travis MacRae

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

The subject of this article fails to meet any of Wikipedia's criteria for notable musicians. External links and sources are weak. Reference to a performance on a local Canadian television show cannot be confirmed. The artist's website is blank and other links listed on the page are dead or have been mostly inactive for years. Searches for the artist and the artist's record labels do not yield any useful information to the contrary. This article has been nominated for deletion twice, both times in 2006, yielding no consensus. But in the six years that have followed, no convincing case has been built. -Makersmarkers (talk) 02:17, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:MUSIC. Not to be discouraging, but any artist who only sells 100 or less copies of their music (per the article) is still at approximately garage-band level. Fails even the most generous standards of inclusion. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:56, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete per WP:MUSIC and WP:BASIC. I'm unable to find anything about his records that were claimed to be released by the labels Willow Tree and Middle River Records. If this is the Willow Tree Records' website, I'm not sure if it can be considered as a label. Middle River Records might just be a cd/dvd manufacturer and again not a label. I also can't find any independent and reliable third-party source about him. His website domain seems to be expired about a month ago, so he either quit music, and if not, I really hope he's ok since I can't find anything about his recent activities as a musician. I also think his album, The Porpoise and the Whale, should be nominated for deletion as well, because it is at best recorded with his own efforts since there is absolutely no evidence that such an album exists, yet alone significant coverage WP:BASIC requires. It is really hard to understand how this article survived the two previous Afd discussions. In any case, his albums and the record companies should be verified by sources that meet WP:RS before checking if the article meets WP:MUSIC's "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels" criteria, which should have been done during the two previous Afd discussions - and if not, the article simply fails WP:BASIC. Nimuaq (talk) 00:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was hopeful about finding some sources, given Jeffleeds' arguments in the previous AfD which would be reasonably strong, if they could be backed by proper sourcing. I haven't been able to confirm that there are articles about MacRae in Sing Out! and in Alternative Press, although I don't think there is web access to articles from that time. Checking Google News and a library database of newspaper and magazine articles I'm unable to find any sources that would be helpful towards establishing WP:N notability. Without any reliable sources, I'm left recommending delete. The album article can be deleted as CSD A9 if this discussion is closed as "delete".

Certiport's Worldwide Competition on Microsoft Office 2012

Not-notable student Competition of some year. Organized by presumably not-notable company: Certiport. Only 3 affiliated web pages are linked (two on certiport website, third is press release of certiport). `a5b (talk) 11:27, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Google Web search for (certiport "microsoft office" competition) yielded lots of Certiport's own web pages and press releases, but no evidence of in-depth coverage by independent media. Searching Google News for these terms produced nothing. Searching Google News Archives for the same terms yielded lots of press releases, and a few local stories on contestants; the latter included very little background material on the competition itself, generally including no more than a paragraph or so that appeared to be taken straight from a Certiport press release.

Weak keep. This article could easily be renamed to remove the year from the title and the content refocused on the competition in general, so I looked for sources based on that idea. Looking in the Google News archives, this 2010 CNet article is an OK source. There are a couple results in a Microsoft magazine: 2005 and another from 2005. I also found some local stories like Ammodramus mentioned: 2006 Singapore, 2010 Nigeria, 2011 Nigeria, 2010 Malaysia, 2010 US, 2011 US, and more behind paywalls. It seems like enough information is available in those articles to write a short article without original research, so I'll default to keep, but I don't know if it's substantial enough to really be notable. The company has similar notability - there are some short news articles about it, but not a lot of them. Dreamyshade (talk) 06:56, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Faisal Khan (Dancer)

Non-notable reality show winner. WP:SingleEvent. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:16, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two references added in the article, clears issues of notability. IndiaToday, DailyMail, Divya Bhaskar, Jagran and NDTV are few of many notable National Media who have covered Faisal Khan's victory. Faisal Khan got enough coverage in national media of India, i think he deserves article in WP. By the way, i am not fan of him, i saw his information while surfing Wiki in Faisal Khan's article misplaced there. So i created this article and added refernces so that autoreviewers like you can check for article's notability. Thanks! -- Samkit ^{(Talk/Contributions)} 16:32, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The argument being made here is "Page is about reality show winner" is not completely true. If you closely cross - examine news stories which covered him, you will find that he came from a lower middle class and despite of his odd circumstances, he has tremondous dancing skill. This fact makes him notable enough to media and people to have a look at him. -- Samkit ^{(Talk/Contributions)} 17:08, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

People followed him, journalists covered his story, people outside India read it - all of these happened because he is upcoming dance artist not because he took part in a Reality Show and won there. From my part and view, this is enough for us to have information of him on our open wikipedia. Regards, Samkit ^{(Talk/Contributions)} 09:30, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He took part in the show and won it. All reports and press coverage is from then. I could not see any press coverage of his post that time period.

(Please sign your comments.) What editorial coverage? News reports of winnings a show are not considered as editorial even if they are technically edited by editors. His interviews post his win are not considered as wide coverage. If all Keep voters want to keep it, please comment on how notable as a dancer he is, maybe by showing how his dancing is still praised after the competition ended. UK papers covered him is no reason to keep. What might be amusing for British people might not be for other global citizens, especially Indians. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:37, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Dance_India_Dance_Li'l_Masters_2#Top_Ten_Lil_Masters - He has not established notability outside of the one dance competition and I doubt he will establish it anytime soon, considering he is only 13 years old. Although he says he would like to start his own dance academy, that is not confirming it will happen nor confirming that academy will be notable. Not all dance competition winners are notable, regardless sometimes how much attention they receive. SwisterTwister talk 20:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eurohobby

Fails WP:GNG. Most of the references are sections of the eurohobby website, and the one that isn't is extremely trivial-eurohobby isn't even mentioned by name, just linked. A google search for eurohobby gives tons of pages on the eurohobby website, and a few unrelated companies, but no third-party independent sources. Google news gives no hits. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 19:18, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I call this double standards - I came across lot of articles on wikipedia related to websites that do not have more than few lines and somehow they are still there here you have some examples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GazoPa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Wools http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubestat

that was just to list some believe me there are tons eurohobby article is already by far better than most of those articles thus why i call the deletion of this page as double standard Eurohobby is the only portal for euro coins (numismatics) that you can find on the web that is in english. Also one of the sources is the Wall Street Journal - I better have one source and very credible than 100 that make non-sense. In case you want non-sense I can add tons of references to euroHOBBY.

eurohobby also have 2000 members that voluntarily joined the website - that also indicates credibility

euroHOBBY is not that linked as this is a niche topic but it doesnt make it less important--Melitikus (talk) 20:22, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Remember, WP:OSE is not a valid reason to keep a page. Each page must be considered on its own merits. Also, in an article about a website, links to that same website aren't considered reliable sources. The Wall Street Journal is usually a reliable source, but the WSJ article only mentions euroHOBBY without establishing notability. One last thing: my google search for sources was very thorough. I looked all the way to page 20 without finding any reliable, third-party sources. Howicus (talk) 00:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Drawbridge (company)

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

Run of the mill company that is of no encylopedic value. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems subjective to assert that something is "run of the mill" and further claim that it has no encyclopedic value. What of "run of the mill" locales like "Moisy, FRA" or "run of the mill" people like "Aleksandr Sautin" or "run of the mill" companies like "ECAPS". What specific characteristics does something require to be eligible for the elevated status of "having encyclopedic value"? Brianjoseff (talk) 21:35, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it is subjective because we don't have prescriptive notability guideline for companies. I listed it because it is in that large grey area between being very notable and completely non-notable. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:40, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Accepted from AfC because Drawbridge is extensively covered in several reputable national news sources, for example Forbes and the BBC. The only confusion was whether the article was about the company or their 'platform'. I would say the subject meets WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 22:04, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The reason given for the AfD nomination seems at the level of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. For notability, I think we can use WP:GNG as a guide. In this case, the Forbes, MIT Technology Review, BBC, and TelecomTV references already in the article are all secondary, in-depth, independent and from reliable sources. Reference 5, as a blog from the Guardian, may or may not be reliable, but it's also secondary, in-depth, and independent from a reliable news organization. With multiple secondary sources already extant in the article, the topic of the article is notable and the article should be kept. Mark viking (talk) 22:10, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think WP:GNG should be used for companies because there are some guidelines at WP:CORP and WP:CORPDEPTH and it is very easy to find references for a company. Companies advertise and make themselves otherwise known. If we were to use WP:GNG for companies Wikipedia would rapidly turn into a business directory rather than be an encyclopaedia. We are in need of a decent notability guideline for companies so we can get some certainty in these AfDs. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Even WP:CORPDEPTH is satisfied, with the substantial national news sources, isn't it? Believe me, I hate spammy adverts as much as the next person, but the company seems to have caught the media's attention. I'm not sure what the problem is you're seeing. Sionk (talk) 22:33, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Companies may advertise and make themselves otherwise known, but such information is hardly unbiased. Company pages on Wikipedia provide a valuable service to people interested in a for-profit entity who aren't interested in trawling through marketing material and company copy-write.Brianjoseff (talk) 00:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that argument won't win you many allies here! Wikipedia isn't a free directory or extension for a business's website. Sionk (talk) 02:04, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That argument was in reference to Alan Liefting's point that "Companies advertise and make themselves otherwise known. If we were to use WP:GNG for companies Wikipedia would rapidly turn into a business directory" and my point was that, if the only information available on companies is information they themselves produce, that is problematic in a "victors write the history" sense. Pages on Wikipedia are unbiased encyclopedic records and therefore valuable to those who may be interested in a company's history, or actions, but don't want to hear it from the company. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think you may have misunderstood my point. If you need me to clarify further please ask.Brianjoseff (talk) 07:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is an AfD for another commissioner of Sind at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis Dawes Melville where an argument for inherent notability of the post is being made. Note that Havelock was Acting Commissioner per the bio above. Also the position was only created in 1847. I suspect there may more to say here (by a British Indian Empire expert). Mcewan (talk) 01:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is admittedly borderline, but I think commissioner is an important enough position for its holders to be inherently notable. Although Havelock was only acting commissioner, he did hold the appointment for a year and the fact he was appointed acting commissioner suggests he was already the second most senior official in the province, which makes him pretty senior to begin with. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- I would suggest that those governing Inidan provinces, even on an acting basis are notable. The problem with this article is that it is a mere stub, and tells us nothing of what he did as Commissioner. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Critical reviews in gaming sites have traditionally been sufficient to meet WP:N and there has been several AFD's where a video game article has been kept due to reviews from notable gaming sites.

Talmud Jmmanuel

It says something about the obscurity of this hoax by UFOlogist Billy Meier that the best source I could find about it was in the preface of a woo-woo self-published commentary on the Book of Enoch (see [11]). There's a very brief, fugitive reference in a scholarly work on "visitors from another world" religion, but by and large the references to this are from other books in its milieu. Perhaps there's room for a brief mention in Meier's article but I question at this point how we would source it; his article is way too long as it is. Mangoe (talk) 15:33, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Billy Meier. Billy Meier's claims have some following within the UFO and New Age communities, so "Talmud Jmmanuel" is a somewhat frequently used search term (the article was viewed 2305 times in December 2012).

Comment - Tidbits I've picked up around the web indicate that this is an Afrikaans-language school (thus, there may not be a lot of content about it in English) and a boarding school, largely enrolling rural children from a large area.

It may be a "combined school", enrolling children of all ages (not just high school). --Orlady (talk) 16:26, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As an Afrikaans-language school it is not realistic to expect Google hits in English. We must strive to avoid systemic bias and, as with all high schools, experience shows that with enough local research sources will be found to meet WP:ORG. TerriersFan (talk) 02:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - It may be a verified secondary school but the Wikipedia requirement for notability is to have reliable sources. Facebook is not a reliable source and granted it may be an Afrikaans medium school but until such time reliable sources become available its not notable. There is no blanket notability for schools or any other subject on Wikipedia Gbawden (talk) 06:47, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - actually the school is either notable or not notable; the current lack of sources means that notability has not yet been demonstrated; entirely different. Experience shows that with enough local research high schools invariably can be made to meet WP:ORG. However, though we delete subjects that are not likely to be notable for lack of sources we don't delete those that are likely to be notable; we tag for improvement - this is the way we develop the encyclopaedia. In any case, trying to get a potentially notable new article, without evidence of e.g. searches in Afrikaans, the day after creation, is not good practice. TerriersFan (talk) 03:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as stub unless someone demonstrates that this isn't a real place. Mangoe (talk) 17:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Nomination does not state a valid basis for deletion. The article does have content (including not only the brief but informative text but also an infobox and a source) and it is about a municipality in Austria, a type of article that is invariably kept. Note that the German article about this community at de:Rohrbach an der Lafnitz has more information. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As stated in Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features), "legally recognized, populated places" are inherently notable. The official website of this settlement is in the infobox. The fact the article is a tiny stub is unimportant as regards notability. It (and all too many others) should be expanded, not discussed as a deletion candidate. Note also the many interwikis, and the wealth of material available for expansion at de:Rohrbach an der Lafnitz. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:54, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Event not officially announced, doesn't even have a title, little or no prose, should go in 2013 in UFC instead once official announced Oskar Liljeblad (talk) 13:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I never thought I would do this, but I'm submitting this article for deletion. I first considered a merge request to 2013 in UFC but the article doesn't even quality for that page because it is not officially announced to happen. So the article fails WP:CRYSTAL. Even it was officially announced, an event article with that little prose should go in an omnibus article, at least until there is more information.

*Delete - Basically per nom, once there is reliable information about the event, that information should go into 2013 in UFC, but right now, there's just speculation about an unannounced event that fails WP:CRYSTAL. CaSJer (talk) 14:48, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect This should be redirected to the 2013 in UFC page, the information is already there and I feel like there's enough there to warrant the spot in the omnibus. Later on down the line when the event is closer and more detailed a standalone article would make sense if the card keeps the announced matchups, but for now it's not ready for that. THEDeadlySins (talk) 01:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2013 in UFC. Event is 3 months away and could change. Byuusetsu (talk) 02:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is officially announced now, see http://www.ufc.com/event/FOX7. The event should probably be called UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Melendez to match other event titles on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oskar Liljeblad (talk • contribs) 08:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and Merge into 2013 in UFC per above. The most critical preliminary information (date, venue, main-event) have all been officially confirmed by the UFC, as has the co-main, and are being advertised on the UFC's website, but there's still a lot that can happen between now and then. It can be split off later if developed appropriately and clear guidelines for MMA event articles ever happen to materialize. Beansy (talk) 13:21, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This band appears to fail WP:N and WP:BAND. Extensive source searching on Google News archive and Google Books is not providing coverage in reliable sources. There is one source in the article that contains a quote, but this appears to be a passing mention. Per the article, the band released two EPs, but they were self-released, sans an important indie record label. Northamerica1000^(talk) 11:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"They released two Eps on their own Pauls Mums Front Room Records and a couple of flexi discs given away with fanzines" - that's pretty much a declaration of non-notability so delete -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ No evidence of notability on Google, Google Books, ProQuest, Nexis UK, Gale NewsVault. At the time they may have got a few mentions in fanzines and maybe a brief appearance in one of the weekly music magazines, but none of that content is searchable - unless someone in the band has actual press clippings we can't do anything but conclude it's non-notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:11, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mean like these? --Michig (talk) 17:37, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not really what I would call significant coverage myself. Getting minor press coverage in the Melody Maker isn't really significant compared to, say, getting a single reviewed in it, and several of those clippings are merely trivia or one line mentions. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the referencing isn't good, but there might be enough there. I'll have a proper look later. --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article's crap, but that isn't a reason to delete it when it can obviously be improved. There are articles/interviews from Melody Maker, Music Week and The One, an article from NME, live reviews from Sounds (2), NME (2), Melody Maker (5), single reviews from Melody Maker, Sounds (2), and Music Week. That's plenty. --Michig (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ for the same reasons as Colapeninsula said. Aside from the Sounds Magazine quote in the article, and a one-liner in a book search, all other hits are unreliable. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:17, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Relisting comment While there may be enough sources to establish notability, this is still disputed at the moment. Normally, confirmation of the existence of suitable sources would be enough, but editors remain unconvinced. Because the news clippings are hosted on a SELFPUBLISHed site as images, personally I think that at least some of them could do with being included as refs within the article for good measure. I've done this sort of thing myself with articles in the past, but don't have the time to investigate/do it now, hence the relist. -- Trevj (talk) 13:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of unreleased Britney Spears songs

AfDs for this article:

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

This article was previously nominated for deletion which resulted in no consensus as it had FL status at the time. The list was recently removed from FL status as consensus found that various of these "sources" were dead links (failed WP:V) and WP:SYNTH violations through the suggestion that the songs were actually recorded. Without venturing into the history of the article any further, this list is a violation of WP:NOT#INFO and the items in the article are WP:ROUTINE coverage of songs that were leaked over time, with no substantial and lasting notability that would warrant an article for this kind of topic to exist. Till 13:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Much of the information is sourced to a variety of reliable sources. (I'm less keen on the inclusion of songs that are only sourced to publishers, because that doesn't really show anything, and doesn't count as a reliable source, but an article doesn't get deleted just because a portion is problematic.) The info could exist happily on the main page of an artist with a shorter career. Entries here do not need to be notable recordings, they only need to be a part of Spears's career which is verifiable. Information about what songs she was given or wasn't given, songs she turned down, songs she recorded that weren't deemed releasable, and who subsequently recorded them, offers useful information for understanding the progress of her career and her changing musical style. If writers, editors, publishers, and readers all believe Spears's career is important, then we can cover it - it's not WP's business to tell people "this is trivia, read something else". --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:36, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But it is Wikipedia's business to enforce policy, regardless of whether this article is WP:USEFUL for understanding her career. This article consists of various dead links that fail WP:V, copyright violations that violate WP:CV and WP:ROUTINE coverage of songs that leaked over time, nothing of substantial signifiance. Wikipedia does not and should not document each unreleased song of an artist that was leaked or in this case listed on a songwriting website. Till 02:14, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of unreleased Britney Spears songs/archive1 where I wrote and now repeat :It's impossible to prove a negative, but for an example of an incorrect listing, if you search "Bob Dylan" under performer at ASCAP, there is an entry for Endless Highway, because it was performed by The Band on the joint album Before the Flood. As far as I am aware there is no Dylan performance, recorded or live.

With regard to registering a song, you will will see what is required at ASCAP - you will note that no proof of information is required.

I did start running through the references and here are my notes to where I got to:

1. US Copyright office. Does not confer the title “unreleased song” on any piece of work. Only that there is material that Spears or her advisers thinks might have a copyright. (it might be a poem or a lyric, therefore not an “unreleased song.”

2. Ditto. BMI/ASCAP. Only confirms that there is a song which the Britney Spears people think that performance royalties might be due. Again does not confer the concept of “unreleased recording” but of "performance." It should be noted that these two organizations collect songwriter royalties for the performance of the song - NOT the recording of the song (important distinction).

3. MTV Buzzworthy. MTV Networks. This site has links through to YouTube which has the 3 unreleased songs available. If the song has not been released by Spears/Record company then it is not legal, it is WP:LINKVIO.

4. The Sun. Asks the question, “Is Britney singing?” This does not make this an “unreleased recording.” It makes it a “possible” unreleased recording. Again there a soundfile which, if uploaded without permission (irrespective of who copyright owner is) is LINKVIO.

5. MuuMuse.com has inbedded links to SoundCloud - although the file is no longer available. There is also 10 lines of lyrics for “Everyday” which could/is interpreted over and above fair use.

6. Vulture/New York Magazine. Again inbedded links to mp3 files – although no longer available.

7. Hip Online. Confirms that BS and the Neptunes worked on an unreleased unnamed ballad, No mention of song title.

8. USA Today. OK.

9. Billboard. Another “leaked track with embedded link to unauthorised YouTube.

10. Animation World Network refers to an advert called “Can Caper” NOT a song however.

- This !vote doesn't hold any weight at all. I could easily go to the Afd of a business-related article, and say "Some companies may not be notable, but this one clearly is". They are WP:ROUTINE coverage and copyright violations as pointed out above. Till 02:14, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - The evidence is in the article. I don't have to bother arguing about it, as it's quite obviously present. If someone can't see it, they just can't see it.

Keep. No valid grounds advanced for deletion. That some artists' unreleased songs are not notable hardly shows that all of them are; that some of the article sources may be inadequate cannot show that all of them are. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 14:08, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Several leaks received media coverage and the article has enough reliable information to pass WP:GNG, similar to List of unreleased Michael Jackson songs and List of unreleased Madonna songs. - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 02:08, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Policy. I understand others may still want to keep this list and that is their right. However, it is still my contention above that 9 out 10 references do not establish that these are unreleased songs, and, more importantly, not all the references adhere to WP policy. If anybody wants to keep the list, then it is up to them to ensure the list adheres to WP policy at the minimum and/or rebuts my claims.

Furthermore, my view is that "unreleased" is meaningless, if BS sings a song in her kitchen while a child's recording, is that now "unreleased?" - what does "unreleased?" mean? It could mean any song (whether recorded/sung or even heard by BS or not!) that has not been officially released. How meaningful an article is that?

I cannot for the life of me see the validity of a list of unreleased songs if there is no List of songs recorded by Britney Spears. If such a list existed. then, subject to my comments in my original post, parts of this should be merged there and the quality of the BS articles rises, not decreases.

Earlier this month I put merge tags on the "unreleased" articles that also had a "list of songs recorded by." One of those has been now merged by another editor. If the nominator hadn't pre-empted me I would listed all the remaining "unreleased" articles in a bundle at AfD at some time in the future. Not many remain now, most have already gone because the fanbase has moved on.

--Richhoncho (talk) 09:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'd like to point out that the question isn't if the artist is notable, it is if the content belongs or not in an encyclopedia. Anyway all artists, in my opinion, should be considered notable, because even if Britney clearly is wherever you live, in China or Japan for example most people don't give a shit about her. In contrast, they have their own Chinese and Japanese artists that you don't know. So I vote for covering every artist that a reasonable number of people has heard of. And no, I don't like Britney Spears. I think she sucks.187.65.148.179 (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Status, yes, I know that the ASCAP links can be reformated and I have no objection to anybody trying improving the article. My question is, How does ASCAP confirm there is an "unreleased song?" still remains unaswered. As you think it does, can you explain how I have got it wrong? Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:03, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that some of the songs that are just sourced from ASCAP, for example, should be removed. As you are right, that doesn't provide that evidence. But, a lot of her unreleased songs have received coverage from third-party media sources. From the amount of them, I feel as if that shows that her unreleased songs have an amount of notability. I will work this weekend on fixing the links and personally going through them to see which ones can really be sourced properly. I will also see if I can find any additional sources for some of them (and remove that hideous Leak date section, who added that?). I was going to go through the list sooner, but I've been pretty busy. I wish I would have been able to get to it before it was delisted from FL status, but I can understand why it was. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 03:01, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy reclose with original outcome. The original close was perfectly correct, and Till is acting like an uncivil ~~lout~~ [13] who accuses anyone who disagrees with him of ignoring policy, just wasting community time and patience.

Stroke out "lout", as it has several different meanings, and people can take it different ways. (To me, it means an aggressive person). — Statυs (talk, contribs) 04:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- No one is going to close this early as various issues with the article have been left unaddressed. Afd is not a headcount, and it's not as if the majority of these "keep" comments hold much weight regardless. Till 05:08, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Just wanted to note that is is an AFD nomination, not a GA or FLC review, to state that "concerns" have been unaddressed. If the topic is notable, then the article is kept, regardless of its current state. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 19:50, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - This is partially true, however, I have brought up the issue of WP:LINKVIO and it is every editors duty to ensure such links are removed. I can't see how anybody can close this AfD with the matter being unresolved - Whether this is by proving I am wrong or removing those links is another matter. To go on as if the matter had not be raised and not been dealt with is not in the spirit of WP. It really isn't about who agrees with who, but improving WP and ensuring its legal obligations are met. I'd happily be wrong every time if it improved WP. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - The WP:LINKVIO concerns don't belong to AFD. They are very problematic and this needs to be solved, but AFD is about notability. If the topic is notable, then it can stay. Which sources we can and cannot use is a matter of editorial discussion that can't (and may never) affect the notability of a topic; it affects the article's quality (it was delisted because of that). — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:38, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        These concerns absolutely belong in this discussion. Afd is not only about the notability of topics, per WP:Deletion. Till 01:57, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        Just another red herring. The source can be cited without linking to it, of course, and the fact that a page may contain a copyvio doesn't mean its content can't provide verifying information. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        
        WP:DEL-REASON contains all the reasons to why an article should be deleted. I personally believe it shouldn't, but I won't die if this is eventually deleted. I see that the Linkvio issue is not enough to warrant the deletion of any article in general, unless all sources available to showcase the notability of the topic fall under Linkvio. It is, again, just my personal perspective of the situation; I have no personal feelings for any of these "unreleased songs" lists. Regards. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 03:00, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Hahc for that, I copy below from WP:DEL-REASON, the highlighting is mine.

Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):

Content that meets at least one of the criteria for speedy deletion
Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria

Cheers.--Richhoncho (talk) 12:27, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation is not the same as Linkvio: Copyvio relates to how the article is written (plagiarism and close paraphrasing), while Linkvio relates to how the sources include content that has not the necessary permission from their original owners. The first one (copyvio) is a clear reason for deletion while the latter (linkvio) is not. DEL-REASON highlights the first one, but ommits the second. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 16:52, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Still a red herring! That a page cannot be linked to over copyright issues does not mean its contents don't support verifiability or demonstrate notability, or that the entire article must be deleted rather than cleaned up. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 13:03, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure what in the article is a copyright violation, can you specify? — Statυs (talk, contribs) 14:54, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here what some of WP:COPYVIO says, please refer to my list of comments about the references above for context. However, if you know or reasonably suspect that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 17:27, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The fact that we are discussing sources means that the items of the topic are notable, which is enough to meet the correspondent notability guideline for lists: WP:LISTN. Which sources should we use to avoid WP:LINKVIO is another issue, but it cannot be used as an ad hominem argument to state that the topic is not notable because the sources in the article are copyright violations. We have yet still to prove that all possible sources are copyvios, but I should be correct by stating that this is not the case. Also, because this is a list, WP:ROUTINE cannot be applied here. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 03:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are missing the point entirely, I trust not deliberately. However, every editor is duty bound to remove any Linkvio. If this is done, then it is no longer a referenced article. Assuming goodwill I am trying to discuss here and not actually massacre the article. Very difficult when I am dealing with editors who appear not to care what can happen to Wikipedia.Cheers.--Richhoncho (talk) 12:30, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concerns and removing linkvios is totally acceptable and a good course of action. My point is that linkvio does not deminish the notability of the topic; sources can be replaced, and we can keep only the "unreleased" songs that has been covered without the possible linkvio issue. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 17:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then please remove the linkvios as you know you should. I won't because I wish to avoid the accusation of vandalism. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:01, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I won't remove anything because I have no personal interest in this article. I just voiced my personal opinions and that's all I am willing to do. It is the responsibility of the creator or constant contributor of the list to do such things. Of course, anyone else can do it too. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 19:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Will you ever stop nattering on about this, or whining that it's everybody's duty but yours to fix things? LINKVIO prohibits direct linking to copyright violations ("do not link to that copy of the work". It does not prohibit linking to sites that may link to or host copyright violations, or citing them as references without links. If your ersatz interpretation was correct, we'd have to remove all links to flickr and Commons. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am keeping on about it, because up to your post, everybody has ignored me and not try to rebut me (even though I made it clear that my interpretation may be wrong), therefore this isn't a discussion but a bunch of "keeps" irrespective of any policy, guideline or other.

Comment A preliminary google search indicates that the place does exist and the religious event mentioned in the article seems to be conducted there. So, OR may not apply here. From personal experience, I know that the place exists and "locally, the most important religious event" happens there. I know my personal knowledge is useless here.

Keep Suraj, you seem to have added a RS; apparently this is the name of a mountain, (the source calls it a "summit"--is "mountain" the correct interpretation?) and all mountains are notable if they can be verified. It would be good to have some additional geographic information.
I note the editor responsible for this article has been trying to achieve a personal goal of having written 100 articles by adding multiple unsourced articles, or articles sourced only to the subjects' websites.

I have added some material to the article with sources. The topic itself seems notable to me (though I have recused myself from voting, pending further digging for sources). To an outside observer, as in the case of the nom PamD, the initial state of the article and google searches will not have given a hint of notability, as the topic is bogged down by blogs and spammy stuff. The sources I added might help further expansion with specific keyword searches.

@DGG, It is actually a hill, as pointed out by Uncle G. I have been searching for geographical info, but I've not come across any yet. Will add if I find any RS.

@Uncle G, can u give me a link to the source of the altitude of the hill? I didnt come across the height inspite of specific keyword searches.

Delete All except one of the items are sourced from IMDB, which is not considered a reliable source. I would also suspect that most of the entries just report that the actress in question appeared in some movie. It's up to (somebody) to deduce that the movie is a horror movie and the actress is the leading lady in danger, and add them together to say she's a scream queen. There's already an article on scream queen. There could be a link there to some kind of fan site on the topic. Borock (talk) 07:28, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
UNDECIDED!!!, leaning toward delete (to the accompaniment of screeching violins). I can scare up a few references,[21][22][23] but for now, these could fit in Scream queen. If someone more diligent (or interested) could find some more, I'd say it would be enough for a standalone list. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:58, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm finding some sources, but most of these offhand refer to them in general as scream queens. Some only have one reference to them being a "scream queen", occasionally with them saying that they don't see themselves as a scream queen. It's easy to say that someone like Adrienne Barbeau is a scream queen, as there are tons of sources referring to her as such. We can even call Beckinsale a SQ as she won an award titled that. But then we have people like Andrea Bogart that have only been called a scream queen in passing and never really on a regular basis. I do think there's merit in a list of scream queens, but I think that we need to elaborate what exactly makes them a scream queen. It's always been my understanding that merely being in horror movies does not make you a scream queen. Being a recognized face does, whether it's for a good or bad performance. This list seems a little too subjective, saying that repeated or visible (but to whom?) roles makes one a scream queen. I'll source what I can, but afterwards we need to trim the list down. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:45, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if I've said this, but I'm also removing anyone that I've seen that specifically has no RS that specifically refer to them as a "scream queen". So far my only rule for inclusion in the list while I'm looking for sources is that they have to have been called a "scream queen" at some point in time. Even the article for scream queens says that you have to be more than just an attractive actress in horror movies, so I'm thinking that asking for an actress to have at least one RS that refers to them as a scream queen in some aspect (as opposed to someone who is just associated with horror films) isn't really that much to impose as a requirement for this article.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment My concern about a citerion that requires a particular term to have been attached to members of a list - such as scream queen in this case - is that it tends to be culture specific (and often fixed in time as well), whilst the article is supposed to be about a category of actor with much wider applicability. This list seems not to include Hammer Films actresses, those who appeared in other European horror films (of which there are a great many), Japanese and Korean actresses and so on. Yet some of them will be more notable for participation in horror films than some of those currently included. --AJHingston (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's a really good point. The term is so incredibly loosely given and applied that part of the issue of this list is that we'd pretty much have to define what a scream queen is, what the limits are, and whether or not it's a title that expires once the actress in question no longer stars in horror movies or in movies at all. Even if the list were to state that it encompasses actresses once referred to as scream queens, there is a big argument to be had as to whether or not a brief reference in an article or book counts. If we count actresses that have never or infrequently been called "scream queens", then where do we really limit the list? At one point the list listed Mila Kunis because she was in four films that might be considered horror movies. Piranha and American Psycho 2? Sure, I can count those as horror movies. Boot Camp and Black Swan? Eh, not so much. Those aren't really the types of film roles that are considered to be "scream queen" type roles, especially not Black Swan. I guess my vote might be delete after all since the definition of what makes a scream queen a scream queen is so subjective to one's personal perceptions and culture. I know that there are big debates on whether or not half of the people on the list that have been titled as scream queens would even be counted as such when you consider how specific the term used to be.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:35, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Northamerica1000^(talk) 00:34, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think that special relations have to be more than just trade for a separate article to be merited. Every country trades with the other countries in their areas. To merit an article, there has to be something exceptional about the relations, such as a treaty, or disaster relief, or some international incident. Incidentally, this discussion and others like it are making me think that it might be a good idea to develop a firm consensus on notability of bilateral relations.

Sources provided are a combination of user-generated content, social media (Facebook, etc) and the company's own website. No third-party media coverage to establish WP:CORPDEPTH to be found. Company has not produced or contributed to the production of any notable works. Created by a sock-puppeteer dedicated to promoting the subject. Stalwart111 03:27, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An article with this title was deleted on 3 January (2nd nomination) and this article was created in its place. CSD was declined because the article creator argued that this was a different subject. Without being able to see the previous version, this is difficult to qualify. Regardless, this subject (new or not) would seem to also fail notability guidelines. Stalwart111 03:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - could we have the history of the previous article restored to see if it's G4-worthy? Lukeno94 (talk) 10:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article was sent here from DRV because the G4 deletion was (possibly) not appropriate.[34] Thincat (talk) 11:38, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, but AllisonID is one of the sockpuppeters, and she was the only one who called for the undelete. Of course, I'm sure the admin looked at the deleted history. Anyway, this should be Deleted as it fails WP:GNG due to the lack of in-depth coverage by reliable sources. Lukeno94 (talk) 11:42, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think we should simply discuss the article on its current merits, such as they may be. Thincat (talk) 11:46, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I didn't see it at DRV. I was involved with the other DRV for that day so never paid any attention to the one for this article. I brought this here after the SPI relating to the article creator and after noticing the previous AFD. But I'm glad it has all come together. Would be good to have a history restoration for the edits pre-deletions. If it gets deleted again, I think we should ask for the title to be salted. Stalwart111 11:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The independent sources are inadequate (and my own search has not turned up anything more). However, if User:Luisa Pisani (after she has been unblocked) or anyone else, wants the article userifying, I don't see why not. Thincat (talk) 12:07, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. This is a horrid article, and the topic itself reads more of WP:HOWTO and full of WP:OR, and belongs more in a dictionary of economic concepts than of a notable encyclopedic topic. Realistically, this should be merged somewhere, but as a minimum there us currently no consensus to delete it at this time (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:20, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tax choice

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

No sources have been provided that the name is used, and very few of the sources can be verified to discuss the same topic. I would accept a merge somewhere, if relevance is established, once the quotes are removed or placed in footnotes. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - For outside editors...here's the context...competence vs good faith. Rubin, the very FIRST reference...Your Money, Your Choice...uses the term "tax choice". But the term itself isn't important because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Whether the term is "tax choice" or "individual earmarking" or "taxpayer sovereignty"...it's all the same concept. A concept which is notable enough to warrant its own entry. Again and again and again, your edits are extremely counterproductive, unhelpful and disruptive. Please stop editing outside your area of expertise. --Xerographica (talk) 11:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Even if you provided some references, there is no evidence that the topic is notable. It's not mainstream economics. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And the first reference is an essay, rather than even a column. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not "mainstream economics"...therefore...it should be deleted? --Xerographica (talk) 12:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - can I strongly (impartially) suggest everyone holds off on the personal attacks. Suggesting someone is not qualified/expert enough to edit a particular article/subject area is specifically listed at WP:OWN as unacceptable behaviour linked to WP:NPA. I note warnings and blocks have been handed out only recently for the same. On the article itself, I personally would like to see less WP:OR (SYNTH) type content and more references that cover this term in particular. Bringing together similar refs/ideas and building an essay that tenuously links them is not enough to meet WP:N. We really need to demonstrate that this is a commonly used term to describe a recognised idea. Stalwart111 13:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So from your perspective...we should just ignore a lack of technical expertise? Do you know how I can readily identify a lack of technical expertise? It's when people focus on "terms" rather than concepts. As I mentioned, Wikipedia is not a dictionary...

Each article in an encyclopedia is about a person, a people, a concept, a place, an event, a thing etc., whereas a dictionary entry is primarily about a word, an idiom, or a term and its meanings, usage and history.

In his article at the Atlantic, Daniel Indiviglio did not once use the term "tax choice"...but he discussed the exact same concept that this Wikipedia entry is dedicated to. Same goes for Brittany Binowski's article over at Forbes, Jack C. Haldeman II's science fiction in ANALOG, Russell Baker's article in the Gainesville Sun, Nobel Laureate James M. Buchanan's book with a chapter on the subject and so on and so on. They are all talking about the SAME exact concept...but none of them used the term "tax choice". So I have absolutely no problem agreeing that perhaps the term itself isn't notable...but the concept itself is notable enough to warrant it's own entry. With that in mind, if you want to argue that the entry should be renamed to a more notable term...then I'd have no problem with that...because...again, the term itself isn't what's important here. --Xerographica (talk) 19:23, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've explained (on your talk page) the difference between policy and a user essay (an opinion), especially that essay which seems to have encouraged (in this instance) a breach of policy (WP:OWN and the related WP:NPA). You may still agree with that essay but that's not valid justification for launching personal attacks. Just avoid those sorts of comments and perhaps strike the one above - I'm sure we can all move on. All that aside, it doesn't really matter what the concept is called here, as long as it is reliably sourced. It's already quite WP:OR-ish and there are no inline citations so its not clear which refs relate to which parts. That's not a deal killer, but for an already abstract concept, it presents a problem. The problem is that for a subject you openly agree is called different things by different people, the concern is that there is some WP:SYNTH involved. Perhaps it would be worth trying to move those refs inline. That way other editors could make a proper judgement about whether the concept is sufficiently notable. Stalwart111 21:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And as I just explained on my talk page...it would be a violation of the Good Faith policy for anyone to assume that I was being a dick for being a dick's sake. I genuinely believe that Rubin and Rich are harming Wikipedia. If you truly want to make an informed decision on whether or not I'm delusional...then you're more than welcome to help edit the tax entry with Rubin and I. As it stands, I've shared a plethora of RS...and Rubin didn't bother to read them or provide any of his own. Yet, he will be the first to undo any edit that I make that is based on RS.

Regarding the tax choice entry...if editors want to make a truly proper judgement regarding the notability of the concept...then they'll do what I have done and make the effort to read through all the sources that I have provided. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. If there's content on that entry that you doubt...then please just post your concerns on the talk page and I will be happy to provide you with the RS's. Then it would be up to you to decide whether it's worth your time/effort to create an inline citation for that source. I definitely agree that the entry could use a lot of work...but deleting it certainly won't improve it. --Xerographica (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed the first bit on your talk page. I agree that deleting it won't fix it (obviously) and there's no requirement for you to do the fixing. But you seem keen on keeping it and part of WP:CONSENSUS is convincing other people your argument has merit - mine was just a suggestion on how that might be done. There's no doubt there are reliable sources, but I think the query is going to be whether or not they verify the content of the article in question without original research. Stalwart111 22:27, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"My" argument is really simple. It's all the reliable sources that establish that this concept is indeed notable enough to warrant its own entry. If there's OR...then throwing the baby out with the bath water doesn't seem like a very effective way of dealing with the problem. --Xerographica (talk) 23:01, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~ Comment It seems that there is a real topic here, even if "tax choice" may not be a common or best search term. There are a number of reliable sources in the references, some secondary from reliable publications. Conceptually, tax choice is a type of Participatory democracy and in particular a kind of Participatory budgeting. "Participatory budgeting" garners about 260K hits on Google with the top hits appearing to be on topic. Given this, it may make sense merge an abbreviated form of this article with the Participatory budgeting article. The article it self needs cleanup. Lengthy quotes are appropriate for a monograph, but not a concise encyclopedia article; they should be removed and replaced with short summaries and associated citations. The article prose is strongly pro-choice and needs a more neutral presentation. Mark viking (talk) 22:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually a type of civic crowdfunding. Participatory budgeting has taxpayers pool their money...and then anybody can vote on how the pool should be split up. Taxpayers would still have a vanishingly small say with how their taxes are spent...therefore we would still have the problem of rational ignorance...and public goods would still be inefficiently allocated. Tax choice is the idea that people should have more of a say how their own taxes are spent in the public sector. In other words...taxpayers would be able to "shop" for themselves in the public sector. It's based on the demonstrated preference concept while participatory budgeting is based on the stated preference concept. Any help with the style problems you noted would be appreciated. --Xerographica (talk) 22:28, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification of the distinction between Tax choice and Participatory budgeting; my merge suggestion is not the best choice here and I have stricken it.

Expanding upon Stalwart's explanations, the reason some of us Wikipedia editors are hung up on the article title is this: encyclopedias like Wikipedia are deliberately unoriginal. If there is a connection between, e.g., Haldeman's story and Buchanan's public finance article, there has to be some verifiable evidence out there that this is true. This evidence comes in at least two forms: there might be reliable secondary sources such as review articles or news articles that make the connection, or the sources themselves may explicitly refer to the same topic and associated jargon. If "tax choice" is not mentioned in these references as a (topic/movement/branch of political economy/etc) and there are no reliable sources connecting the references, then that connection cannot be made as far as Wikipedia editors are concerned, even if obvious to a domain expert. Making such connections without any sources backing them up is original research (see WP:OR) and such content is ripe for deletion. Mark viking (talk) 23:41, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But the concept is exactly the same. With our current system...you and I would go to a restaurant...you'd give me your money...and I would order for you. With a tax choice system...you'd go to the restaurant and order for yourself (See the entry that I created for Scroogenomics). Haldeman's story is talking about people ordering for themselves...and that's exactly what Buchanan talks about. The only difference is...Haldeman tells a story that anybody can understand while Buchanan tells a story that only economists can understand. But it's the same exact story. Well...no two stories are exactly the same but both address the same exact concept. Should you order for yourself...or should other people order for you? Tax choice explores the idea of ordering for yourself. But this "problem" of not understanding the connection between sources isn't solved by deleting this entry...it's solved by much discussion on the entry's talk page. The reason the entry is such a mess is because, honestly, I'm a terrible story teller. The worst. That's why I prefer quotes...that's why I LOVE quotes. But Wikipedia works because we can improve the story together...and it doesn't work when a notable concept is deleted because one editor has not shown any interest in actually working together to improve an entry (what concerns has Rubin posted on the talk page?). --Xerographica (talk) 00:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant delete - at this point, the article as written (aside from formatting problems and a pseudo-pop style) suffers from a combination of crippling failures: the lack of evidence that anybody but the author recognizes all of these as a single unified concept, making this term a non-notable neologism; and a heaping pile of original research and synthesis. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:10, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - plenty of sources provided, just not formatted and styled as an encyclopedia article. Style and format shouldn't govern whether to keep the article. Even a stub with See Also section is preferred to deletion. --DHeyward (talk) 03:10, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
An expandable stub is better than deletion. A list of (possibly) irrelevant quotes with (mostly) irrelevant "See also" entries, and (probably mostly) irrelevant "further reading" (not references), is not. OrangeMike gave the best argument for deletion; it would require a reliable source to connect all the quotes and "references" to the concept, and none is forthcoming, because of the excessive number of quotes and "references". A stub, with a few relevant quotes and references, connected by a single reliable source, might be appropriate. I would still question notability, but then, at least, there would be something there which was not a violation of Wikipedia principles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Well sorted and documented, although needs more common main links to demonstrate as an idealized theory concepts and business terms, however more input concepts on the article is needed, such as diagrams to show a useful choices a consumer makes to decided in their life and statistics, while it may be useful to merge with other section topics for business transactions budgeting, recycle management, or reform articles .--GoShow (............................) 19:32, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Penticton V's

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

This article about a hockey team appears to be non-notable, specifically with WP:NHOCKEY. Most noteworthy events performed by this team, according to the article, were actually performed by sister team Penticton Vees; for example, they qualified them to go to the 1955 World Ice Hockey Championships, but according to this source their sister team did this. According to an internet search, there are no reliable sources to indicate significant coverage for this specific team; in addition, most results relate to the Penticton Vees rather than the Penticton V's. The only references available about this team specifically are from Blogspot and Wikia, both self-published sources; so I propose deletion at this time. TBr and ley ^{(what's up)} 01:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the issue here is that the title of the article is spelled wrong. In the Penticton Vee's article it talks about the senior team (which would be this team) as having gone to the championship. It would be exceedingly rare for us to send a junior team instead of a senior team to the championships in so much that I don't believe it has ever happened and the junior team didn't exist in 1955. And since world championship teams are clearly notable it should be kept. -DJSasso (talk) 12:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the information over and renamed the article to Penticton Vees (senior) to clear up the confusion. -DJSasso (talk) 12:59, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Username of creator suggests a serious COI, and they have since been blocked. -- Patchy1 05:08, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A COI is not a good reason for deletion. Failing WP:GNG and WP:ORG is, though. Of the six references used in the article, four are not independent of the subject of the article and can't be used to establish notability. The Atlantic article never even mentions LightHouse which means it does not constitute significant coverage of the subject of this article and can't be used to establish notability. The last article from Patch.com constitutes significance coverage from an independent (from what I can tell) and reliable source but is only a local source. A Google News search provides no sources at all that are related to the subject of the article and a either does a Google News Archive search. None of its members appear to be notable but even if they were, that wouldn't make the organization notable. While this is a neat idea that students could really benefit from, this subject doesn't appear to be notable under any notability guideline. As someone who has a bit of experience in this field, getting themselves noticed would be beneficial to their program and would help prove notability. In any case, they should make sure to read WP:COI and make sure that they're not damaging their image by editing the WP about their own organization. OlYeller21^Talktome 21:06, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Drag bingo

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

Speaking as a gay man, I can confirm that all "drag bingo" really means is a bingo game hosted and called by a drag queen — it's not a notable phenomenon in its own right, but just a cultural variation which warrants little more than one or two lines in another article (in exactly the same way that my childhood hometown's newest cultural embarrassment, "porketta bingo", only merits a couple of lines in meat raffle instead of having a separate article of its own.) Consequently, I just can't for the life of me figure out why we would actually need a separate article about it, rather than a single line in bingo's main article which acknowledges that some gay bars have bingo events hosted by drag queens.

Pipe gamelan

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

Part of a spam cluster. Previous group deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Viscount Bells. This was previously nominated as part of a group at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stone marimba. That closed with a suggestion to relist individually
No real claim to notability. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Mix of bad sources, original research, linkspamming and promotion. Refs used are not independent reliable sources and include multiple links to article creators business. This is not really an article about the instrument but a coatracks to talk about "Percussion legend Emil Richards". Named by him as part of his personal collection but there is no good evidence of any wider use. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - yes, the WP:COATRACK does resonate with the theme of the article. A proper article about this western gamelan instrument could be of interest, but I couldn't find any decent sources for it (only 550 to choose from, and nothing solid in that list). Of course we never saw any such instrument in Java or Bali. At best WP:TOOSOON but coatrack is about right. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article isn't encyclopedic in tone but the topic is encyclopedic. It could be stubified or perhaps merged to Emil Richards for the moment, but deletion is not the best way forward, and will just lead to more recreation. The solution is to develop good coverage of the topic(s). Disagree that it's purely part of a spam cluster, but there are definitely possible COI issues that nobody seems to have addressed, remembering WP:AGF (diffs please if there have been attempts I've missed). Happy to work with the contributor(s) to resolve the issues. Andrewa (talk) 22:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Alternatively redirect to Emil Richards but IMO even this is premature, see below. Andrewa (talk) 14:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to keep this but there just aren't (yet) any usable sources that I could find. If you know of any, list them here or add them to the article and I'll vote keep. If not, keep is simply the wrong vote. A redirect to Emil Richards is potentially misleading (we'd have to change it if an article on this topic becomes possible). Of course the content can be merged there, you can do that today. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:11, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where have you looked for usable sources? Just to save the rest of us reinventing the wheel?

The issue is not that the article needs fixing, that is agreed. The issues are, do we want an article covering this instrument (not necessarily dedicated to it), and if so how best to proceed. The keep vote is correct if the answer to the first question is yes, as I believe the evidence (scarce though it may be so far) suggests.

Exactly how would a redirect to Emil Richards be misleading? Agree that we'd have to change it if we later decided to split the content back to this title, of course we would, so? How is that misleading? It makes the split far easier and more informative, by preserving the earlier edit history, again saving us reinventing the wheel.

If no reliable sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. What reliable sources do you think justifies Wikipedia having this article? duffbeerforme (talk) 11:27, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, but the fact that you can't find any doesn't seem to count for much, frankly. You haven't said where you've looked. At least one of the many percussion stubs you've AfD'd recently has turned out to be a very noteworthy instrument, closed as keep with a very strong consensus, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boomwhacker.

Have you consulted any offline sources at all? Which? And could you link to the online searches on which I'm guessing you base these AfDs?

The charge that this is Part of a spam cluster was also part of both of the previous AfDs to which you refer, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Viscount Bells and then Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stone marimba.

It's unfortunate that nobody challenged this charge of spamming on the first occasion, which deleted six articles by strong consensus, and gave very little help to the newbie who just didn't know how to respond but tried hard, and has worked hard on these articles. There is no evidence that they are a deliberate spammer, they just didn't appreciate our standards of tone and verifiability. Now we will need to go to WP:DRV to recover their contributions.

The second, listed as Next bunch of a spam cluster and making similar baseless claims on the motives of the contributor, was closed Please relist individually; it might lead to a clear conclusion about at least some of them. That's what has brought us here.

I don't wish to disparage User:Duffbeerforme, who is obviously a well-motivated and hard-working contributor. But I do wish to suggest that this particular campaign of AfDs is premature. The contributor has a large and valuable dead-tree library, and simply did not realise that citing these paper sources would be more appreciated here than links to drum shop sites and the like. It's an understandable mistake, in that a website is more easily verified. Andrewa (talk) 14:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Boomwacker is a different issue. I'll concede thet it looks notable. It is an unfortunate victim of another crossfire where I was wrong.

Re the others.

Where have I looked? Google, Google News, Factiva.

You've chose to focus on the one that is outside the main concern, every article other than Boomwacker has been supported by a link to the authors shop. In most cases two links to the creators store. aEch page contributed to has been a mix of OR and self published promotion. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:48, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The contributor has a large and valuable dead-tree library, and simply did not realise that citing these paper sources would be more appreciated here than links to drum shop sites and the like.of" ?WP:V. ?

Sorry about the stringing. Replying to User:Duffbeerforme above, Wikipedia:Verifiability is a content guideline concerning the article space, and very relevant to this discussion, but I'm not quite sure what your question is. Andrewa (talk) 15:25, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have called attention to that particular AfD simply because it shows that your methodology for deciding to raise an AfD is faulty. Agree with most of the rest of this.

But you have now made another unsubstantiated and unhelpful charge: The supposed link between LA Rentals and User:Xylosmygame.

At the top of your edit box for this page should be a stern warning that reads in part commenting on other users rather than the article is also considered disruptive. Yes, it can be a hard line to draw. But unsubstantiated charges of spamming and COI are unhelpful. The first thing to do is to contact the user, ask them to disclose any COI (or alternatively to refrain from editing the article in question), and point them to the relevant content and style guidelines.

And this doesn't appear to have happened. There's been some discussion at User talk:Xylosmygame but it seems to start at the presumption that this is all worthless spam. And now you have raised AfDs in which the spamming charge is in the first sentence of the rationale, and continue to raise the (possibly valid) COI charge based on zero investigation of that particular point so far as I can see. It's guesswork.

You have raised some valid points both here and on the user's talk page, I agree with many of them. But others are a little over the top at this stage.

My hope remains that we'll end up with a large number of redirects to a section in the Emil Richards article. On the evidence, and on the recent merge decision at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/L.A. Percussion Rentals, that seems the way to go for now. Andrewa (talk) 15:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the above should be including Boomwacher, not except. He put a link to his business in there too.

The connection between the editor and the company is substantiated. The editor previously known as User:LAPercRentals has let us know. See the "COI contribs from Xylosmygame (talk · contribs)" section here. They were also told about policies on COI. His reply was a rant about how he was an expert, how he knew best and how he'd done his own original research.

I did my investigation and I resent your assumption that I hadn't.

Is there any spamming? Someone thought so here "rv linkspam, inappropriate refs". Somene else thought so here "Redirect to existing info about tuned anvils (and less spammy, too!)". Yes there has been spamming, it might not have been the intent (I have never said it was) but it was the result. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link to the now blocked User:LAPercRentals and to User talk:DoriSmith/Archive 13#COI contribs from Xylosmygame (talk · contribs) (I'm assuming that's the section you meant to link to).

It does appear that I was mistaken about your research and the spamming. But please note that I did ask for these links very early in the piece, and you have only just provided them. So frankly, I think you have nobody but yourself to blame for the assumption.

And I still think it possible that you're being a bit hard on this new contributor, and hasty in nominating the articles for deletion. They have made mistakes but have also shown every willingness to comply with Wikipedia policy when it's been pointed out to them.

I'm attempting to contact them offline, to follow up the claim that there are dead-tree sources to support these articles. What I'm particularly looking for in the case of the pipe gamelan is secondary sources that report its usage on recordings on which we have articles. If sources can't be found, then deletion is certainly an option. Depending on the sources, redirection may also be an option.

Are there other relevant wikilinks you can provide? The problem with offline discussion is that I may be restricted by netiquette and privacy considerations in what I can report back here.

We also have a problem in that the best example of the spam is in the deleted userpage User:LAPercRentals, which is now only accessible to admins. Note however that the user was blocked for an inappropriate username, not for spamming, and that they have apologised for both mistakes, while strongly and perhaps rightly protesting at the pending deletion of all of their contributions.

If you go with that mind set, then no sports announcers should be included. There are many articles that discuss sports reporters and announcers, including Brent Musburger and Verne Lundquist, that announce sports but did not play sports. Why is this any different? Because he is on one TV station, BYUtv, instead of a major network like ESPN or CBS? There is no difference. This article provides the personal background of a specific individual who is currently calling sports and acts as a sideline reporter for many games throughout the season. Additionally it uses multiple sources to give it credit, unlike most other biography pages here at Wiki. He may not have the rich background of sports announcing that others more famous do, but that doesn't make the article spam, nor does it make it worthy of deletion.

Comment Yes, I do think that being on a major network as compared to a single college's station makes a difference. Bigddan11, the answer to you argument is that when he becomes notable, then there can be an article. DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See, I will completely disagree with you on this assessment no matter what you say. Dave Barnett started at Raycom Sports, a regional syndicated group, before ever moving onto ESPN. He has called a ton of live sporting events, though he has done it mostly on a regional level outside of his time at ESPN. I don't see anyone saying he should be deleted because he has moved back to regional level broadcasts instead of remaining at ESPN. It shouldn't matter what level you are at.

BYUtv is considered a national TV station, like it or not. It is available in every household that has Internet access (at byutv.org) through live streaming that costs nothing for those who watch online, outside of your regular Internet subscription, and it is available to more than 65 million homes through Dish Network, DirecTV, and various cable companies (including Comcast), a stat that puts it ahead of CBS Sports Network and NBC Sports Network in terms of households it's available in. BYUtv provides more live sporting content than Fox Sports (please note I'm referring to Fox Sports, not Fox Sports Media Groups), and Robbie Bullough happens to be the main play-by-play man, outside of football and men's basketball, as well as the sideline reporter for football and men's basketball for the station. He is no less important than someone like Todd Christensen, who was listed long before he joined CBS Sports Network this past season as the Navy analyst. He's no less than Blaine Fowler, who has been an analyst for 27-years, though most people had no idea who he was until he did some games for NBC Sports Network. The fact is he can be seen and watched in more homes than any broadcaster for CBS Sports Network or NBC Sports Network. That stat alone should make it where he shouldn't be deleted unless you are going to delete every CBS Sports Network and NBC Sports Network broadcaster there is.Bigddan11 (talk) 17:02, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to agree with this. Other than Verne Lundquist and Brent Musburger, Howard Cosell studied sports and never played any sport. Why should this be a big difference for Robbie Bullough?

Weak delete. There is some force in the argument that BYUtv is a national network--it is, indeed, carried nationally on DirecTV, etc. But we haven't automatically kept articles for every reporter on the major sports networks, much less one on a more minor venue like BYUtv. The Salt Lake Tribune article is a solid source, albeit local.

Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoléon

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

A man whose only particularity is being the heir to the long-defunct Bonapartist imperial throne of France. I can't find reliable sources establishing his notability per WP:BIO. Le Petit Gotha is apparently a book of monarchist genealogy; like other genealogical records it doesn't establish notability. The two newspaper articles cited are no longer online; if as their titles suggest they cover some family quarrel about the "succession", then that would be material for the article Bonapartism, where this man is already mentioned. Sandstein 15:26, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. The existence of being the pretender to the throne of France is a notable fact, but that's it, which makes it a WP:1E. Just not sure what to direct to, maybe Pretender#French_pretenders, or maybe we need an English equivalent of Liste des prétendants au trône de France depuis 1792 on the French Wikipedia. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:44, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. We do have Monarchism in France and pages for every over Pretender already. We should not delete this page any more than deleting the entire ecosystem of pages. But having a central page modelled after the French one could be good. Jean Christophe Napolean has a slightly more extensive page with slightly more extensive references at: Jean Christophe Napoleon Totustuusmaria (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep being heir to a throne and head of an Imperial House usually makes the holder of those posts notable. Also notable enough to receive coverage in reliable sources, some examples: [41][42][43] - dwc lr (talk) 19:19, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no throne or Imperial House in France for the last 200 years or so; the titles etc. are a private conceit. The coverage in Point de Vue is not accessible and the magazine appears to be of questionable reliability; the third link is a passing mention of the man appearing at a party. Sandstein 20:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is an Imperial House whether its reigning or not, titles etc are still attributed to non reigning royals as you can see in the WSJ link where his attendance was deemed worthy of being noted for the readers as the prince is a notable person due to his position. Also the fact a magazine has run articles on this individual also indicates notability, I'm not sure what basis you have to question the reliability of the magazine? - dwc lr (talk) 22:11, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not familiar enough yet with policy on inherent notability or otherwise of pretenders to extinct titles to decide keep or delete. However it's clear that this person has no other claim to notability - he's just a banker. And using the title 'Prince' - and as part of the article name - and incorporating the noble family infoboxes (for him and the rest of the family) seems to give undue weight to a frivolous claim and makes Wikipedia look pretty silly. So if kept, let's call him by his actual name and just note that he is a banker who happens to be descended from Napoleon. Mcewan (talk) 00:10, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Royalty generally are only notable because they inherit a notable position and status. The reason he is notable is because he is head of the Imperial House of France, in that capacity you will find he is always referred to as a Prince in sources. - dwc lr (talk) 22:11, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with any policy or guideline that assumes the notability of pretenders to thrones that have ceased to exist. Sandstein 01:13, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but Prince of what, exactly? And what "sources"? The more I look at this the more I think we need to be more rigorous about restricting the coverage of fantasy claims to noble titles like this. Let's record the fact that the claim exists, and maybe list the pretenders, but not have articles for every related individual who is not otherwise notable. Mcewan (talk) 01:39, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article already has citations which haven't been credibly impeached as reliable sources, and it's clear from his father's article that much of the cites there are applicable. Bonapartism exists, his father's article documents that the two are rivals to represent its historical, genealogical and symbolic evolution to the present. This article should be improved, not deleted. FactStraight (talk) 00:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here is that I can't see how it could be improved unless there is something additional to say. Any ideas? Mcewan (talk) 09:42, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per the criteria at WP:BIO, he falls well short. There are no special cases for pretenders to defunct titles. Aside from the mention of his appearance at a party in WSJ, and reports of a family tiff, there is absolutely no coverage, certainly not in multiple reliable independent sources. Mcewan (talk) 01:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree with dwc lr, this person is a rightful heir to a noble family and is also a celebrity of our modern ages. I also add other sources to which he is featured in, such as:
Interview with Prince Napoleon He is clearly someone of importance in our community and someone who needs to be respected — Preceding unsigned comment added by Springyboy (talk • contribs) 10:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately those are not really policy-based arguments. A blog with a translation of an article in a monarchist mag is not a reliable source, and a single magazine interview would not establush notability even if it were. Mcewan (talk) 12:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Policy or no policy, to readers of the English Wikipedia readers he is of just as much interest as a senior French government minister like the Minister of the Interior Manuel Valls (holder of “one of the most important governmental cabinet positions”) based on page views over the last three months. But of course we editors know better than the readers what they want and should be allowed to read about on Wikipedia. In my opinion royalty need their own notability guidelines like sports persons and politicians etc have, this is beacuse heads of royal houses in particular are notable and of interest to people. - dwc lr (talk) 20:24, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No one is arguing that he is not of interest, just that he is not sufficiently notable for his own page. As a test, do we think he would meet WP:BIO notability if it were not for his descent from Napoleon? The debate really hinges on whether there is inherent notability (in the Wikipedia sense) for such people, and it would be good to have a proper policy debate about it, but as things stand it seems clear that there is no such inherent notability. Mcewan (talk) 09:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I came here specifically looking for him, since I am researching the current claimants to the French throne. Monarchism is a big deal in France, and these houses are well established. There are three of them: The House of Bourbon, the House of Orleans, and the House of Bonaparte. Are you also suggesting we eliminate all the pages associated with the claimants of the House of Bourbon or the House of Orleans? Sometimes someone is notable for reasons other than personal fame. These pretenders may or may not be notable personally, but they are notable politically because of the households they head, and the historical and contemporary importance of monarchism in France. There are quite a number of wikipedia articles that relate to the matter. Why target this one in particular? Totustuusmaria (talk) 02:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This debate is not about Monarchism in France, or the House of Bourbon, or the House of Orleans, or the House of Bonaparte which all have their own articles. And I agree that we should be able to use the encyclopedia to find out that this man is the current claimant. However a separate page is unnecessary: there is nothing interesting in this article apart from his pedigree, a mention of a squabble and that he is a banker. All of that could quite simply be included in the list of claimants. If he ever does anything notable in his own right, then we should have an article. Otherwise where does this stop - do we create an article for his first-born son, and record his first words? And the existence of the other articles is not a valid argument. Mcewan (talk) 09:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - consensus is settled that leading pretenders of large countries, as well as leaders of well-known royal houses are notable. FWIW, Notability does not mean respect. Bearian (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After my initial comment, I did try to find policy or consensus on this, but could not, hence the delete vote. Could you provide a pointer to something demonstrating that consensus? Mcewan (talk) 22:27, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am not finding anywhere we have a specific policy or consensus regarding royal pretenders, but by the existence of articles for all other French pretenders (Template:French Pretenders) and for the heads of other such deposed royal houses (such as the House of Hohenzollern), as well as the List of current pretenders, with lots of blue links, suggests an unspoken consensus that pretenders are notable. Grandmartin11 (talk) 16:34, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although to slightly reverse that "other stuff" argument, from a quick sample of the articles, in some there is clear notability for other reasons (so the individuals stand on their own merits); a few others are more like the article at hand (so a similar case could be made for their deletion).

And in the List of current pretenders, the several names that are not blue links argue for a lack of unspoken consensus - although given the geographic spread that may be due to systemic bias. Mcewan (talk) 18:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "Other articles about pretenders exist" is not a convincing keep argument. Maybe it just indicates other AFDs are needed. Notability is not inherited, so his having a royal ancestor 143 years ago does not give him inherent notability. Unless he is notable for other reasons, such as his banking career, delete as failing WP:BIO, unless that guideline has some clause stating "all pretenders to defunct empires and kingdoms are notable." That keeps Wikipedia from being a directory of every nonentity who says he is the heir to some long ago king. If reliable and independent secondary sources have substantial coverage of their career of "pretending," then point them out. Blogs or websites operatied by royalty hobbyists are not adequate, nor are mere directory listings in genealogy books. Edison (talk) 21:27, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arguing that otherstuffexists, I am merely stating an observation: several AfDs have created a consensus that most leading pretenders are notable. I will try to look for examples. Bearian (talk) 23:07, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable pretender to a throne. RNealK (talk) 23:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Answer - Interesting, I am finding AfD results all over the place - many mergers, many deletions, some keeps, and many with no consensus. Examples of "keeps" include Ethiopia (perhaps outdated 2005), but a keep to a Habsburg in 2012. Lack of consensus after AfDs in 2009, here in 2007 too, and even as recently as this month. So I stand corrected - there seems to be no consensus. Bearian (talk) 23:17, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep yes this persons claim to fame is being a pretender to the throne however this is nothing new to the encyclopedia and definitely makes for interesting reading. I don't see how deleting this article will actually improve the pedia and thing that even if it didn't meet the notability standards which it does this is a situation where WP:IAR would be well applied.

Keep, head of a former European royal house. --Norden1990 (talk) 02:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Whilst he may not be notable as an investment banker, the fact remains that he is historically relevant, if not notable, in the same way that Franz, Duke of Bavaria is. Unless we have a separate article listing all the present pretenders to non-existent European and other thrones, this and other such articles should be kept for their historical bearing, whatever the republican POV may be. However, I think calling him 'prince' in the heading and in the lead is going over the top. In 1975, Walter Curley, the then US ambassador to France, published a book entitled Monarchs in Waiting about such pretenders around the world. He even listed the then Mughal pretender.--Zananiri (talk) 20:35, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article doesn't include a citation for that claim, so here's a RS-worthy article from the San Marino Notizie about the club signing Bonilla (and two other players). If you'd prefer something in written in English, this piece from Mister Baseball (not strictly a RS, but very reliable in my experience) should confirm it for you. It is also worth noting that Bonilla is by far the most accomplished baseball player from his country (El Salvador), and as such is much more important than the average player of his level of experience.

I know this has been debated here before with regards to the Mexican League, but the Italian League, which is a part-time league that pays part-time wages, has an even weaker claim. That aside, there just isn't a lot of sources for this guy. The Italian article linked above only mentioned Bonilla four times, and two of them were in lists of players' names. The Mister Baseball article is a little better, but isn't much more than a recap of his career stats.

The reason that the guideline presumes notability for any player in a top-level national league is that reliable sources on those players can nearly always be found if you're willing to look at foreign-language sources. If you want additional sources on Bonilla, you could take five minutes and put in a good-faith effort. If you aren't willing to do that, here's a profile in El Universal, and here's a pay link to a profile in La Opinión. There are probably others, but that should be enough to demonstrate the point. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Every minor league baseball team above the Rookie level is covered much more thoroughly than the San Marino Whatevers in the part-time Italian League. Why doesn't BASE/N presume notability for them? As for your sources, what you call a "profile" was actually a six-paragraph note that told us nothing about Bonilla except a recap of his teams and stats. That "profile" didn't help to demonstrate Bonilla's notability at all. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 00:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BASE/N doesn't presume notability for them because they aren't the top-level league in their country, the way that the (full-time and fully-professional) Italian Baseball League is in Italy. Their importance within the context of US sports is much lesser than the importance of the Italian Baseball League within Italian sports. Wikipedia isn't just written for and about US-centric topics - covering things from other countries is good, in the interest of countering systemic bias. Individual players from Rookie-level ball in the US may be notable, of course, and if they meet the GNG then they can have their own articles, just like anyone else. As for your dissatisfaction with the El Universal article, I think a seven-paragraph article of 300+ words exclusively about Bonilla and his career from a paper with a daily circulation of 150,000+ is a perfectly reasonable source, though of course you're entitled to your opinion. Outside observers can judge for themselves. If you want a piece that provides a broader overview of Bonilla's career, however, perhaps this piece from the San Marino Notizie will please you more? -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 16:51, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding? You're seriously arguing that the Italian Baseball League is more important in Italy than Triple-A baseball is important in the U.S.? That's ridiculous. The Italian League is also not "full-time"; teams play a 42-game schedule, which is fewer games than some U.S. amateur softball leagues play. As for this latest source you found, do you really think a four-paragraph "article" that does nothing but recap the player's prior teams and stats advances this player's notability? You've posted three or four of the same type recap. That "article" doesn't tell us anything we couldn't get from his Baseball-Reference page. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 00:30, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to try and argue in favor of including AAA players under WP:BASE/N, we can have that discussion on the guideline's talk page. This isn't really the place for that. I'm not sure why you think that a 42-game schedule should be an automatic disqualifier as far as a league's professional status is concerned. The NFL only plays a 16-game schedule, and nobody seems to object to them being classified as fully professional. As for the sources I've provided, here's an example of the sort of information that's in them but not on his B-R page: Bonilla's family moved from El Salvador to Reno, Nevada when he was four years old. As a child, he enjoyed soccer more than baseball, but he started playing baseball instead because all of his friends were doing it. He graduated from Galena High School, where he played second base on the days when he wasn't pitching. After graduation, he attended Larssen College in California, where he made the conversion to pitching full-time and earned Conference All-Star honors. That performance earned him a baseball scholarship at Tulane. He throws a changeup, a slider, and a curveball. Etc. Are those articles mostly baseball-related? Of course. He's a baseball player! Articles about baseball players focus mainly on baseball for the same reason that articles about actors focus on acting and articles about politicians focus on politics. It's the biggest part of their life, and the focus that defines them as individuals. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:39, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree with Bbny, its ridiculous to compare the Italian Baseball League with MLB affiliated Minor League baseball (or even the Mexican League), as the Italian Baseball League isn't even fully-professional (or even professional period) or have crowds of more than a couple of thousand at most. This would fail WP:FOOTY/N guidelines if he was a football/soccer player. I haven't seen the Spanish sources yet to make a decision, but a line needs to be set for all these "top-level" leagues. This is a classic WP:ILIKEIT and WP:IDONTLIKEIT discussion without much policy based or simply flawed arguments on both sides. Lets focus on WP:GNG and the quality of those GNG sources. Secret ^account 04:44, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you saying in one breath that we should "focus on the GNG" and in the second admitting that you haven't looked at the sources I provided? Wouldn't the sources be the heart of an GNG-based discussion? -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:13, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I meant that I haven't seen the sources to make a decision if this meets GNG, and I can't form an opinion on this subject, so I'm staying neutral here. The thing is from reading this discussion that both of you are more focused on the "top-level" criteria in this AFD, which honestly should belong on the relevant guideline talk page, than GNG itself.

Keep HBWS finds the sources as usual. This individual meets GNG for coverage in Spanish-language sources. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:18, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did you actually look at the sources or is this another example of WP:ILIKEIT by Muboshgu? - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 00:47, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the sources. What makes you think I like this article or even what it could become? Where does that come from? – Muboshgu (talk) 04:50, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
