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 delete. I see a consensus that the subject fails WP:GNG. In answer to comments; the statement that there /could/ be sources carries no weight; at a minimum we need to have a basis for expecting sources to be out there. Also, the fact that he died a long time ago obviously does not preclude meeting WP:GNG as articles on numerous historical figures attest. Just Chilling (talk) 00:21, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

William Van Orden[edit]

Van Orden was a member of the militia of a city. He was not even a high ranking officer in that militia, which in and of itself would not make him notable, nor was he a member of it when it was continued under the same name as a territorial militia and fought multiple wars. He was not even an active officer in 1845 when the Nauvoo Militia was involved with skirmishes with other militia's in Hancock County, Illinois trying to discourage the burning of crops and houses. No, he was part of the honor gaurd for the slain head of the militia, and then got pnemonia and died. The first source mentions him as an example of the everman, only because the author is his direct descendant. The second is a family geneological web page. Nothing comes even remotely close to showing notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:01, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Even the article written in the Deseret News qualifies his notability as being an ancestor of the author. Does not meet WP:GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paisarepa (talkcontribs) 2019-07-14T00:31:33 (UTC)

  • Unless we are treating Brigham Young University as some sort of diploma mill now, I am inclined to treat The Lives of William Van Orden and Julia Ann Haight Van Orden, a history written by Bruce A. Van Orden, as a source written by an identifiable credentialled expert historian, including plenty of notes about primary sources to back it up. That said, it really spends most of its time not talking about this person. There's a dearth of information even in Professor Van Orden's history, which has birth, marriage, death, purchase and sale of two things, the fact that he was a farmer (and might have done other things, although this is not nailed down as fact) and a lot of content about other events and other people. A quick search of the history books shows that this person otherwise gets a mention in the context of "the William Van Orden family" and that's about it. There simply isn't enough to hang a biography off, from Professor Van Orden or otherwise. Uncle G (talk) 12:04, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's a PDF published on the family's website - vanordenfamily.org - which states explicitly that it "Bruce A. Van Orden, a great great grandson, Written in 2004, the 200th Anniversary of William’s Birth". The author is a qualified expert, however it is hard to call this an WP:INDEPENDENT source, and publication on a family website (without citations, in a voice that is far from undetached) is a tad different from most academic publications (e.g. [1]) by the same author. Icewhiz (talk) 14:06, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I am well aware of it being a PDF. I have read it. In your eagerness to overstretch the independence criterion beyond advertising and autobiography of a person who died almost a century and three quarters ago, you have missed the wood for the trees. It doesn't actually provide information beyond the basic genealogy. There are four citations on its page 2 alone, by the way. Uncle G (talk) 16:19, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Agreed. This is a family history written by a descendent. Writing these histories (and other genealogical work) is very common within the LDS religion (and strongly promoted by the religion) and the existence of such a history does not by itself indicate significance of a subject regardless of whether or not the author can be considered an expert historian. There are tens of thousands of these that have been written by LDS people, some of whom happen to be experts in history. Paisarepa (talk) 23:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • On the contrary, whether they are LDS or not is irrelevant, and it is the expertise of the author, the fact checking, the provenance, and the depth of the source that counts. Which is why the better argument at AFD is to read the source and determine and report how in-depth it is, as I did, rather than, as you are, attempting to dismiss a whole class of sources for fallacious reasons. Uncle G (talk) 18:52, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • The author's religion is not relevant to the question of whether or not William Van Orden is a notable person, but it does provide context that helps explain why the author created this document about a person who is not generally notable. Note that the author did not publish the document in a manner consistent with his other academic publishing, nor does the author make an explicit or implicit claim that the subject of the document is notable other than in a relatively narrow context. Rather, the fact that the document was published on the family's website implies that the author was aware that the subject would be considered notable only by a limited audience, primarily his descendants. The document is an expertly written piece of family history but in this case neither the quality of the document nor the fact that the author is an expert historian makes the document evidence that the subject is notable on the level required for inclusion on Wikipedia. Paisarepa (talk) 19:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Also if that work on William and Julia gives William notability, we should also create an article on Julia Haight Van Orden. Of course the first Wikipedia article I ever created was on Phoebe Carter Woodruff so I think that has some validity, although others clearly have not agreed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:36, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND. Article appears to have been written by a member of the band, and primary claims of notability are 1) featured in a Rolling Stone Magazine article, and 2) listed as having had one of the top 50 albums in mainland China by That's Shanghai magazine.

The Rolling Stone source is obviously incorrect, as it cites issue 243 which was published in 1977, more than 25 years before this band became active. There may be another article that does feature this band, but I was unable to find it. The WP article also cites an LA Times article for the same claim, but the actual LA Times article never mentions Proximity Butterfly. The That's Shanghai article does appear to be legitimate, but is not sufficient to meet WP:BAND. Paisarepa (talk) 23:44, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is an academic and an author. No indication in the article that he meets WP:NACADEMIC. As for WP:AUTHOR, he wrote one book that is somewhat known but doesn't appear to rise to the notability standard. There is a claim that the book was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, but it is unsourced and I have been unable to verify it. Paisarepa (talk) 22:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete being nominated for an award does not make a work notable in most cases, nominations are often cheap. We would need multiple reviews showing that Brown's bio of Hofstaer is notable to show that Brown is a notable writer and that is lacking. I have to wonder if the article is outdated since it mentions his last work was 10 years ago. Ok, most historians do not have the output level of Fred E. Woods (that article I do not think has been updated with all his works), although Woods publishes multiple works that are variations on the same theme, and Woods is more a compiler than a writer of prose, but there is no indication that Brown is seen as an impactful historian, and I say that as someone who has engaged more in metahistorial intellectual history studies than many.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:16, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep. Setting aside the supposed Pulitzer nomination, his faculty profile already makes a clear case for WP:PROF#C5 (endowed professorship) and WP:AUTHOR (multiple published reviews of his books): "David Brown, Raffensperger Professor of History ... His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, New Yorker, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, (London) Sunday Times, The Irish Times, and The Australian." As nominated, the article already contained external links to NYT and WSJ reviews of his books, so there is little excuse for the nominator to have failed to account for this in the nomination, and even less excuse for JPL to say we "need multiple reviews" when those reviews are already present. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:11, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I'm not sure he passes NPROF(5) (as Elizabethtown College would not seem major), and given the common name I am having difficulty assessing NPROF(1) (I did manage to ascertain at least one other scholar with the same name passes). However, Richard Hofstadter: An Intellectual Biography clearly passes WP:NBOOK and to a lesser degree Beyond the Frontier: The Midwestern Voice in American Historical Writing would as well - convincing me that NAUTHOR is quite likely to be met (as might NPROF).

  • Comment I have added sources and quotes from reviews to the article. If this is merged, then at least there will be more about her. I have also made a small edit to the article about Dave Mackay (musician), which said he co-wrote the song "See My Rainbow", when the catalog of copyright entries shows it was copyrighted to her alone, for both words and music (other songs were copyrighted to both). I wonder if their first album would meet WP:NALBUM #1? Then perhaps this article could be re-written to be mainly about that album, and her name could be redirected to it????

  • Keep. There's the practical issue of how Twitter or Wikipedia's Women in Red project would respond to an AfD redirecting a jazz singer's article to her husband's with the rationale "all her known works were with him", and I don't want to get into that. Regardless, if they are noteworthy as a duo and MacKay is notable on his own, then the only real solutions are that we either have a page called Dave MacKay and Vicky Hamilton for them as a duo and redirect this article there, or we have an article for her herself. Given the fleshing-out this article has just obtained, the latter seems just fine to me. Chubbles (talk) 02:10, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am the previous voter who is possibly being accused of something here. I actually think that a Move to Dave MacKay and Vicky Hamilton is a reasonable suggestion, because they released albums as a duo. But like it or not, even the recently-added sources continue to confirm that Hamilton has no solo works, and that is necessary for a solo article. Meanwhile I am stumped on how fears of Twitter flak matter for a discussion of someone's notability in Wikipedia. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:23, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Chubbles: there's really just a practical issue of working against systemic bias on Wikipedia. You shouldn't worry about what a certain WikiProject thinks: instead worry about fighting that bias and I think your suggestion about creating a duo page does just that. That's an excellent idea and I would support that. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:23, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or create Dave MacKay and Vicky Hamilton. Having solo works has not been necessary in past AfDs for solo articles about musicians who only recorded with others - the question is whether reviewers noticed and wrote about the musician's work. The best coverage I found of her was in the New York Times - the other sources found so far do talk about them as a duo. There is enough coverage to have an article about the duo, if it's not considered enough to have one about her - so I do not think that she should be merged into the existing article about Dave Mackay (musician). The section in that article about the duo could be brief, and point to an article about the duo. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:16, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Three completely unsourced articles about short films with no credible claim to passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not handed an automatic notability freebie just because the director happens to have a BLP: the notability test for a film requires things like winning or being nominated for noteworthy film awards, and/or being sourceable to enough evidence of reliable source coverage about it (e.g. actual film reviews by professional film critics) to clear WP:GNG. But none of these three films have either of those things at all, and they're not exempted from having to have notability claims just because they're available on YouTube either. Mitrani's feature films ain't going anywhere, because they all clear NFILM much better even if the articles technically still need improvement, but his pre-Igor Rizzi short films just don't clear the notability bar at all.

  • Delete If I read this right, Idiga withdrew before the election. I have to admit that it is notoriously hard to find articles on some political leaders in countries in Africa, for example our article on Norman Kamosi would fail under most interpretations of GNG, except that he was a member of the parliament of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (well, actually of Zaire I believe). It still bothers me that I have not been able to dig up better sources on that. Instead everything I ever found on him post dates his fleeing to the United States in 1998 and is coverage more of his roles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, such as president of a French-language branch in Metro DC and later as head of public relations for the building of the Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo Temple. Even if today he may be a counselor in the Kinshasa Temple Preidency, and even if as is semi likely he is made the 2nd president of the temple in about 2 and a half years, none of that would be close to being notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:26, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this does not make a strong case that he has preexisting notability for his career in business, as the sourcing for that part of his background is entirely to glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things besides himself and/or his company's own self-published website.

  • Comment. I do not think that being included in 50 Names to know in information technology – Crain’s Detroit Business can be considered public relations. Crain's Detroit Business is a reliable source and I think it made its judgements independently. Even of the person or his company asked for him to be included, the decision to include him was that of a journalist based on journalistic criteria. (Or at lest that seems to be the case to me from a considerable distance from Detroit.) US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation's list may have been created in part to promote its members and the reference is a press release, but it may be notable depending on the media attention it received. Ernst & Young's list is valid if it received appropriate media attention. An big accounting firm talking about itself does not create notability, but when it talks about others in a context where it is not trying to pomote a client or supplier, it is probably a reliable source. The India West reference isn't very good (it doesn't define the acronym ILA), but hanging out with the Indian ambassador suggests that something is important.

  • Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Likely autobiography (as you would expect from a PR guy), and leaving aside the fact that the majority of the sources fail WP:RS, the twelve sources currently in the article are four articles written by Mr. Caldwell himself, four sources talking about how he has authored a chapter about publicity in a non-notable book, an interview with him (primary source) on a website which charges to market your music, one radio show on which his song was played (probably not on rotation, but it's impossible to verify), and two articles about how he organised a street party in his home town. No in-depth reliable sources that demonstrate notability. Richard3120 (talk) 15:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. Sources in the page are not WP:RS, no others found – not one relevant news hit, for example.

  • Keep - Significant coverage (multiple reviews) by reliable sources as listed by Mobygames.[3] Other sources available with more research, such as this review in Russian magazine Games.EXE.[4]- hahnchen 19:05, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hahnchen, WP:SIGCOV does not mean it is covered widely, but that there need to be multiple coverage in detail. I found a PC Powerplay review [5] that is in-depth and reliable. There is a paragraph on Computer and Video Games [6] (with the coverage going very light on the game details, so I can't count this as something that adds to WP:GNG). There is also a coverage on Pelit that is in-depth at [7]. Yes, there are reviews on Moby, but WP:NRV says "the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition". I don't see the evidence that there is a significant coverage in those reviews (or if they are about that game), considering that reviews on Moby are added by users and there are no links (with some being unreliable). I may switch to a full keep if I see more, but for now I am undecided but leaning to keep (there are Pelit, PC Powerplay and Game.EXE). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 19:29, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Mobygames lists 24 press reviews and many are from reliable sources. Phediuk (talk) 01:29, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Found the Gamezone (Germany), PC Player (German magazine) and PC Games (magazine) reviews at [8], [9] and [10] (Moby says it was reviewed in the October issue, but it happened in the November one). I think it should pass WP:GNG now with PC Powerplay [11] , Computer and Video Games [12], Pelit [13] and Game.EXE [14]. All seem to be reliable per WP:VG/RS (except PC Player which never had a discussion there, but is likely reliable as well). Kind of surprising there is only 1 really in-depth review of this game in English, but every language is acceptable for GNG. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:52, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a small-town (pop. 12K) mayor, not reliably sourced as the subject of enough press coverage to clear WP:NPOL #2. As always, smalltown mayors are not automatically handed a notability freebie just because one or two pieces of purely local media coverage in their home media market can be shown to verify that they exist -- at this level of significance, the notability test is the ability to show a depth and range of coverage that marks him out as much more notable than most other mayors of places this size, such as nationalizing beyond just the local media. But people also don't get Wikipedia articles just for declaring their candidacies in future political party primaries, or for being the Eliza Doolittle in one episode of a television makeover show -- so nothing else here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have nationalizing coverage of his mayoralty. Of course, no prejudice against recreation in November 2020 if he wins the congressional election, but nothing here constitutes a reason why he would already qualify for a Wikipedia article today.

  • Comment As the creator of the article I will not vote in this discussion, but I will note several RS articles that seem to cover Terry in depth: the Guardian, the Economist, Mother Jones, and (if interviews count) Vice. Also, all of these sources except the Mother Jones one were published before he appeared on Queer Eye. IntoThinAir (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As the subject appears to pass WP:GNG based largely on the profile in the Economist (found by IntoThinAir). This makes the subject more notable than most mayors as the coverage in Mother Jones, the Guardian, City Lab, PBS Newshour and others is substantial. I believe the extent of this substantial body of reliable source material means that the subject does pass WP:GNG independently of the subject's campaign for US Senate. --Enos733 (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a short film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM.

Article about a musical theatre composing duo, not properly referenced as notable. Three of the five footnotes here are to their own self-published primary source content about themselves, while the other two are glancing namechecks of their existence in coverage of other people's work. As always, topics of this type are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's technically possible to verify that they exist -- the notability test is the reception of enough reliable source coverage about their work to clear WP:GNG for it.

BWW is a mixture of editorial oversight and user submissions which, are, indeed, reviewed and edited for appropriateness and grammar/style, etc., much the same way "letters to the editor" make their way into RS magazines and newspapers after staff checks it over for appropriateness/edits before publishing. The dividing line between what's genuine coverage and user submitted is in the byline: one of them gets an actual byline, the other--user submitted stuff edited by staff, such as this expample--is credited to "BWW News Desk," because the actual author is the person who submitted it. If nothing else, it makes for confusion in whether any particular article in BWW can be considered Reliable coverage or not. ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:47, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This was recently prodded by Premeditated Chaos, with the rationale "Non-notable piece of computer software. Can't find any independent in-depth sources discussing the program. Being listed on download sites isn't sufficient for notability." However, as it was already prodded in 2006, it cannot be prodded again. I agree with the rationale so I am taking it to AfD instead. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:13, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The article does fail NFOOTY. Further, the way it is written, it focuses on her performance in the Dance World Cup. This is not a notable competition, and the gold medals mentioned were for team performances, not solo. Yes, there are sources, but they don't seem to go in depth about her—one doesn't even mention her last name. At best, she is a non-notable student. At worst, Wikipedia is not the place to puff up somebody's profile before they apply to university. —C.Fred (talk) 19:01, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Gold medallist at the Dance World Cup might be notable - but almost the only mention of that event in Wikipedia was its addition to Hip-hop dance a couple of days ago by the same editor who created this article! Now removed, as the only source was its own website. If the DWC is really notable, someone should create an article about it. Winning a medal there might then give this person a claim to notability.

It's true that he has a book that he allegedly wrote through facilitated communication, and even a film produced about him, but most sources in German and English falsely claim that he can communicate through facilitated communication, which is scientifically unreliable. See Amy Sequenzia, Sue Rubin, and Benjamin Alexander (writer) as examples of similar deleted articles. There is at least one article that questions his method of communication (https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13684517.html), but it is not clear whether he is notable as a subject of controversy.

  • Delete extraordinary claims require extraordinary sourcing. That is clearly lacking here. What we need is an indepth and balanced article on facilitated communication, with a proper level of skepticism. We need to avoid dragging people into this. Basically, getting a book published does not make someone default notable. I have to question why then running after a ball in one game can make you notable, but this is not the place to attack the horribly over broad inclusion cretieria for footballers. Being a published writer does not make one default notable, and so Sellin is not clearly notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:03, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I should be grateful if you could kindly not delete this page as it will be benficial to the community.

I'm an individual and I have no commercial intentions. I have worked for more than 20 years in IT and I have found that a master page like this was missing where people and organizations could find a master index of information in one place.

As you will see in the article I am talking about several IT practices, standards, frameworks, methodologies.

I have no specific interest in anyone of them in particular. They are all from different organizations.

This page is a master index on the web.

Could you please share the details of what is wrong with the article?

Thanks and regards

Clive Perry Ramen

Hello, this is a personal webpage that I have developed. I have more than 20 years of experience in IT and I'm an SME (Subject Matter Expert) in ITSM & Operations. The contents of this article is different from the contents of Outline of information technology. Article IT service management does not address the Operations part of IT. Neither does it address all the Practices, Standards, Frameworks, Activities, Behaviours, Tools & Techniques listed in my article. If you delete this article you will destroy the start of a Master Index for Wikipedia in IT Service Management & Operations. I have updated the article to specify that it is a Global Index so that this article does not duplicate existing articles and added the required categories. I should be grateful if you could kindly consider approval of the article please. Respectfully yours, Perry.

Hello, I have implemented all your recommendations. I have also explained to you how this article is different from other articles that you have mentioned in the sense that it is a Global Index for IT Service Management & Operations. I have also explained to you that this article is not a duplicate of existing articles and that such a Global Index for IT Service Management & Operations was missing from Wikipedia. I am building this article in favour of Wikipedia. Having worked in IT for over 20 years, I have a holistic view of IT Service Management & Operations. I was myself lost before sometimes when looking for information due to the fact that there was not a central Index listing all the IT best practices, standards, guidelines, methodologies, frameworks, concepts, approaches, behaviours, techniques & tools on the web. This page is the Global Index that was missing and will be most beneficial to the community and Wikipedia. If you take a look at column "References & Links" of table "IT Practices/Processes/Functions/Activities", you will be able to see how many items do not have a link yet. These are separate articles that are yet to be written and developed on wikipedia. The table shows you at a glance what areas of IT have and don't have articles yet. I am working with and for Wikipedia by building and maintaining this page and I bring all my experience in IT to wikipedia. I will maintain the page and make it the Best Global Index in IT Service Management & Operations on the web. Please rest assured that you can rely on me. I should be grateful if you could kindly consider approval of the article please. Is it possible for me to have a status update from your side accordingly please? Respectfully yours, Perry.

  • This just trips over a whole load of what Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia is not a free wiki hosting service for self-admitted personal web pages. It is not a directory of hyperlinks. That's exactly what is being done here, complete with a private set of rules (expressed in article space, no less) for contributors, added by the article's owner. PerryRamen, I encourage you to go and find out what an encyclopaedia is. Pick up a few and read them. They are not this, either. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. To-do lists do not go in article space; articles are descriptive not tutorial ("are encouraged to refer to this list as guidance"); and the only article-space indexes are our outline articles, which are not external hyperlink farms, and which this is not.

  • Comment: I agree this list is not suitable for Wikipedia but the creator appears to have put a lot of time, effort and meticulous research into it. However, they have not edited in a month and may very well come back to find all their hard work gone with no way of retrieving it. To avoid losing the list before it can be transferred to a suitable alternative outlet, perhaps it can be moved into either my or Nhoj1898's userspace for a few months instead of immediate deletion? – Teratix 05:59, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Surtsicna rationale: She is not notable as a physician. She does no royal work, so she is not notable as such either. She is just not notable at all. The sources cited here confirm that. Boldly redirecting to the article about her husband Pelmeen10 (talk) 11:22, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has been a redirect for two years. Why was the article restored only to be nominated for deletion immediately? Surtsicna (talk) 11:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Because no discussion was held 2 years ago. With this amount of interwikis, there's a possibility the person is notable. I'm no expert in this subject though. Pelmeen10 (talk) 13:39, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There was also no opposition to turning the article into a redirect two years ago. You recreated an article after two years just because its turning into a redirect was a bold move? And you do not even have an opinion about the matter? I do not think that's reasonable or helpful. Either way, there are 8 links altogether in the main space, 5 of which are from the articles about the subject's family (father-in-law, 18th-century ancestors, and an nth cousin), 2 of which are disambiguation, and 1 of which refers to another person.
This woman is a private individual, which is why she is not covered by any reputable media. Her privacy should be respected by Wikipedia as well. The only reason the article ever existed is because her husband happens to be first cousin once removed of Elizabeth II. Surtsicna (talk) 14:50, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is an attorney who does not meet notability per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Article cites several sources, but almost all only mention subject in passing, or quote the subject in an article about someone or something else. Editor(s) with a conflict of interest have created suggested edits in the talk page that include an additional 98 references, but again I can't find any that are about the subject; all are about other people, court cases, etc., with the subject quoted or mentioned. Paisarepa (talk) 06:42, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I am concerned about sockpuppetry at this article. Actioninjurylawyer and Andrewstroth have been blocked (the latter for having a User name the same as the subject of the article), and now Andrewvieira1993 shows up on the Talk page proposing addition of the same inappropriate content that the other editors have added to and have had reverted at the article. IP 108.240.193.22 attempted to remove the templated banners at the article while describing the Edit summary as "fixing errors". David notMD (talk) 14:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I discovered that this subject's article has already been through AfD once under the title Andrew M. Stroth and was delted. The editor that created Andrew M. Stroth was active in the AfD but created this article three months after the first was deleted. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew M. Stroth Paisarepa (talk) 15:53, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: During intervening eight years AS may have achieved notability. However, from my sampling, the references in the content recently added (and deleted) which I looked at were only in-passing mentions of Stroth, not at-length content ABOUT Stroth. Therefore, the same dearth of reliable sources may still apply. The aforementioned editors are persistent in adding types of content that have no reason to be in the article.

  • Delete: From what I can gather by the sources in the article (and my own limited research) his proposed notability comes from being involved in marketing deals for athletes and representing the family of a Pierre Loury, a black 16-year-old who was shot by police in 2016. His firm represents other such cases apparently. None of those court cases/deals appears to be noteworthy enough to warrant an own article according to WP:BIO (See WP:CRIME in particular), not to mention a dedicated article for the representing lawyer or head of the representing law firm. The small amount of media coverage about Andrew Stroth that exists appears to be limited to local news in the area of Chicago. That said, he might become more notable in the future, at which point an article might be created. Going through the draft process first might be a good idea to avoid another deletion vote or edit warring. Hecato (talk) 19:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      • Thanks for pointing those out. These are at least more notable since they seem to have national and international media coverage. If Andrew Stroth played an active role in those court cases then he could be mentioned in the respective articles. I still don't think he deserves an own article though, unless he did something especially noteworthy in those court cases or in the surrounding controversy. If he did, then this could change my vote to a weak keep and improve --Hecato (talk) 17:37, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I have never seen a Wikipedia article on a lawyer before that felt like large parts of it could be lifted and placed on an advertising billboard. The whole section of language on law suits over police "brutality" reeks of violation of NPOV.

  • A collection of views of only one side of a set of court cases violates the Wikipedia:neutral point of view policy, and certainly is not the way to build a biography of a lawyer. Not everything in Wikipedia should be presented in the form of biographical articles. Uncle G (talk) 11:18, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning to delete. From the morass of links currently in the article and those now removed or posted on the talk page, there are exactly two which are about Stroth as opposed to his clients (I am excluding alumni news items and a student report on a talk he gave to a class at the Medill School of Journalism):
The second one is very local and basically a trade publication. The first one is pretty local too, but at least is a prominent newspaper. This doesn't strike me as sufficiently passing WP:GNG. All the rest are failed attempts to inherit notability (and publicize his law firm). The COI/socking shenanigans do not help either. In my view the creator of this article and a frequent editor up to January of this year is almost certainly a paid editor. The later editor and his various incarnations clearly has a COI and if an employee of the firm tasked with expanding the article is likewise an undeclared paid editor. See my more detailed comments at Talk:Andrew Stroth. Voceditenore (talk) 11:46, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article seems to be written like an advertisement. The subject alone doesn't seem to be notable either to separate it from the Commodore 64 article. I found a few reliable sources upon a quick Google search on the Commodore 64 homebrew scene but I don't think it's enough coverage to establish general notability and it's only worthy of a short sub-section in its parent subject's article at best. letcreate123 (talk) 05:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep as main author of article. The claim that there is no reliable sources is false. For example from the New York Times: A Toy With a Story For Game Makers, Inspiration In the Soul of an Old Machine (and these were not hard to find). The C64 Direct-to-TV sold 70,000 units on its first day, so new retro hardware for the C64 is quite popular. Just for game publishing, there are multiple publishers publishing new C64 games - surely that qualifies for an article. Thue (talk) 21:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The arguments by Hunter Kahn do not address the uncontested substantive problems with the article. Deleting unsalvageable promotional content in order to allow a neutral rewrite is standard practice. Sandstein 08:53, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

highly promotional article , though on a worthy product. Almost all the article is devoted to the problems it hopes to solve, rather than the ostensible subject of the article. It needs complete rewriting, and the first step for that is to remove the existing PR-based article DGG ( talk ) 02:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment It sounds to me the nominator is saying this article is notable enough for a Wikipedia entry, but that the article as it is written right now is problematic. If that is the case, it would seem AFD is not the way to go, per WP:RUBBISH, and that instead the article should be merely improved... — Hunter Kahn 04:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The distinction is that it can be improved if it is fixable without complete rewriting--and I have fixed several thousand such articles in my 12 years here, but if it take complete or almost complete rewriting, it is better to start over, per WP:TNT (altho an essay, it does express the general view on a practical way) . From my experience, the best way of making the distinction is seeing if anyoneactually does rewrite it while it is at AfD. DGG ( talk ) 22:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It still seems to me that the argument you are making here is one of the specifically listed arguments to avoid in AFD arguments. AFD shouldn't be used to encourage re-writes of articles of subjects you consider notable. Even per the essay you cite, WP:TNT, it seems the better solution than deleting it would be erasing the offensive content, reducing the article to a stub, then putting a template on it to encourage users to improve it. If it gets deleted, that will only discourage users from ever creating it again, since they will have seen it has already been deleted before. Given that the nominator himself asserts that the article subject is notable, I'm inclined to vote keep and encourage that they use more appropriate methods to encourage improvement... — Hunter Kahn 02:36, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, AfD is almost the only way to actually get articles rewritten. The page you cite is an essay, not policy, and the various things stated there in a definite tone are not that definite as they sound---they are followed in different degrees. 12 years ago, when I started engaging in these afd discussions, I would have argued as you did--at the time, we did not fully realize the dangers of letting promotional articles stay around in WP . It's not only that htey stay here as advertising, and even worse show up as authoritative in Google (that "feature" of Google wasn't there 12 years ago, either) , but they serve as the models for other articles. Promotional writers thing that if others have gotten away with it, so can they; good faith but naïve new ediors actually think that a promotional style of writing is what we want since they see so much of it here. If you think it can be fix, fix it. Now. If you cannot do it now, try it in draft space. But the one thing we should not do is leave such articles in mainspace. DGG ( talk ) 08:55, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't want to just keep repeating the same arguments over and over, but suffice it to say, I profoundly disagree with your interpretation of what AFD is and should be (though I've seen others who agree with you before over the course of my 11 years here). And since you yourself have indicated this article subject is notable, I vote keep. — Hunter Kahn 13:41, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

per WP:BIO1E and WP:BARE, just a little notable for only one event in 2008 and nothing then, his role in 2011 revolution is not notable nor memorable, just few articles from his mates describe him as "leader" and that is exaggeration and no one knows what is his exactly role, he has no awards nor political positions too.

  • Delete His biggest role (the others being either guest ones on TV shows or low importance ones in movies) seems to be on a short film Romans 12:20, which is of questionable notability. Fails WP:NACTOR for the lack of multiple significant roles. He also fails WP:GNG for the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The references in the articles are either listings (like Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, Fandango, Listal, British Comedy Guide etc) or passing mentions. Wasn't able to find any WP:SIGCOV reliable source, sadly. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
