The result was Re-userified (non-admin closure).

This article was AFD'd in March and the result was userify. A few days ago, the original creator of the page, User:Toomanyairmiles, moved it back to mainspace without the required improvements discussed at the AFD. This was discussed with the editor, and apparently the editor would like to keep working in it in User space. The editor did a direct move of the article out of mainspace. This left a redirect from mainspace into userspace, which was CSD'd. Zad68 13:53, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted PROD per WP:PROD (previous AFD exists). Concern noted in PROD (by User:ConcernedVancouverite) was: Result of AFD was to userfy pending more GNG citations after letting it have some time. Those have not been added, yet the article has been moved back into mainspace. It appears those additional citations have not materialized, and as such this fails WP:GNG.

Need more feedback from User:Toomanyairmiles, see our conversation here. I am getting the impression that the problem with this article is the scope of what Toomanyairmiles wants covered. Toomanyairmiles keeps pulling sources that describe the "Community or Custody Inquiry" work product of MJW, and not the MJW organization itself. I suggested to Toomanyairmiles to consider changing the scope of what is to be written about from MJW to the CCI work product. Zad68 03:42, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Iranophobia[edit]

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

This article (formerly a re-direct) duplicates anti-Iranian sentiment. Anti-Iranian sentiment says: "Anti-Iranian sentiment is feelings and expression of hostility, hatred, discrimination, or prejudice towards Iran and its culture, and towards persons based on their association with Iran and Iranian culture." The new article defines Iranophobia as: "opposition or hostile sentiment to the policies, culture, society, economics or international role of Iran. It also refers to the distrust, dislike of, disdain, envy, intolerance, discrimination, prejudice, racism, stereotyping, fear or aversion to Iranians as an ethnic, linguistic, religious or percieved racial group in around the world. Iranophobia can range from individual hatred to institutionalized violent persecution. Also it is referred to a policies that defines Iran as threat to a certain country or even in big picture to the international peace for certain interests based on series of Conspiracy theories."

In addition, this new article is full of original research and is not neutral -for instance it labels mainstream American films such as 300 as propaganda without using reliable secondary sources. GabrielF (talk) 23:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I see no case for deletion here — we at least need a redirect to anti-Iranian sentiment at this title. — C M B J 23:36, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd like to see it restored to a redirect, but the user has reverted that several times now and I'm not sure what the appropriate process is. GabrielF (talk) 23:37, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the article with the most edit history (anti-Iranian sentiment) and merge any unique content into that article. Then, involved editors should determine if the article should be renamed to Iranophobia. - Mr X 00:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy redirect (or whatever term you want to use) - there is absolutely no reason this can't be at anti-Iranian sentiment or even Islamophobia (in some way). Certainly doesn't need it's own article and reverting the redirect without explanation is trout-worthy (one more and it would be block-worthy under 3RR, by my count). Stalwart111 00:11, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy redirect to Anti-Iranian sentiment. This article deals with the exact same topic, but not very well. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - This article can be expanded, and that should be explored. The Scythian 17:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you address the question of how, according to reliable sources, Iranophobia is distinct from anti-Iranian sentiment? Is there a reason that expansion of this topic can't happen at Anti-Iranian sentiment? GabrielF (talk) 17:57, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually quite feasible to describe anti-Iranian sentiment and Iranophobia separately, if someone's willing to invest the effort into differentiating the two. — C M B J 05:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trembulo[edit]

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

Prod declined by a user who argued "not a hoax" with sources, but they are: an unreliable-looking site that sells stuff, an apparently user-submitted site, a site that trips the spam filter, and one of those books that consists of republished Wikipedia articles. If this were a real instrument, surely more concrete sources would exist. I can't find a thing on this instrument that is in any way reliable, so I call hoax. Most likely the other "sources" brought up by the deprodder just scooped up info from this article. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:36, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am the user referred to above. I agree the article looks suspicious and there is little on the internet to support it but I would hold fire on deletion until the subject can be investigated further. If it is a hoax it is a extensive and well orchestrated one or else maybe a demonstration of the way that false information can propagate. I could be worth an article as a hoax if it turns out that way. Martin Hogbin (talk) 23:02, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- All of the "sources" out there seem to spring from the Wikipedia article itself. Given that they're all dodgy things like personal websites and books that contain reprints of Wikipedia articles, I really suspect hoax. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:04, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I looked into it with the ghits and similar available as of a week ago or so. The "book" which mentions it looks suspiciously like a "print on demand" where is seems not at all unlikely that someone just googled up "Instruments tuned XYZ" and added "trembulo" to the list of instruments thusly tuned. Further, my vague impression is that there is one single Person X posting on a few string instrument forums discussing an instrument named "trembulo", and what few mentions independent of that exist seem quite plausibly based on said person having brought up the topic in the first place. Fundamentally, I'm not seeing anything at all to clearly indicate that Person X didn't just make up the term and apply it to several pictures of instruments, and a few folks picked up that ball and ran with it for a few yards. I'm not necessarily alleging malfeasance, but it's possible someone in good faith picked a rather arbitrary name to pin on a theoretical instrumental construct, and somehow it ever so slightly took off on the blogosphere. Fundamentally, and speaking as a long-time member of WP:MUSINST and fella who's written multiple properly-referenced articles on instruments played by a few hundred tribesman back in the forest somewhere, I'm seeing zero to indicate that this is anything other than "made up last week" or a full-on hoax.

The Quintola I can find, written up by Robert Lewin in 1972. This, I have not found. Uncle G (talk) 09:23, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Where have you looked? Martin Hogbin (talk) 10:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Most of the places that I usually do, and all of the places that I looked for the quintola in. I found the quintola in The Strad magazine, to which Lewin was a regular contributor, as you can see. Lewin did a whole article on it, which was in the July (not April) issue and what details I can check out of which (such as the violin maker's name) check out. The only person who seems convinced of the existence of this instrument, however, is Emma dusepo (talk · contribs), who was vague on the details of the Quintola, as you can see, and who shares that name with the person behind the spam-URL-blocked "stringed instrument database".

Third day in the Bible[edit]

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

This was written by Kzarley (talk · contribs) who states in an edit summary that he is the professional golfer Kermit Zarley and, surprise, the author of a book discussed in the article called "The Third Day Bible Code". It's got some promotional language in it about him, etc, but the basic problem is that "Third Day in the Bible" doesn't appear to be a notable topic and the article is basically Zarley's ideas. A Google search turns up a lot of mentions of Third Day which would be expected, but it didn't turn up general discussions of the "third day in the Bible". The existence of Third Day churches and Third Day Christians is irrelevant to this specific subject. There may well be the potential for an article on Third Day Christianity, but this article isn't about that. To sum it up, "third day in the Bible" isn't a notable subject and this is just an article promoting Zarley and his book. If he had written it today it would probably have been eligible for a speedy delete. Dougweller (talk) 21:54, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for sure. The topic and the underlying tenet of the hypothesis is a pass-time invention by Kermit and misses WP:NOTE by the width of a golf course.

Comment It is also worth noting that (a) the article was originally created by a user with the same name as the film and a Userpage Infobox about the film, suggesting WP:COI, and (b) since the original article creation, there have been edits to change the production company, character names, actors and who is providing the film music - all of which confirm the good sense of the first paragraph at WP:NFF.

Most played rivalries in NCAA Division I FBS[edit]

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

On behalf of 71.90.216.96 (talk · contribs) — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 18:42, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is Most played rivalries in NCAA Division I FBS. The rationale is that the page was created by a blocked/banned user (User:Latish redone), as well as failing the general notability guideline, in that the topic of most-played rivalries has failed to receive non-routine coverage in reliable sources.

Delete Support my own nomination for the reasons provided. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 19:47, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The applicable notability guideline for lists is WP:LISTN, which states in pertinent part, "Notability of lists . . . is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. . . . Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles."

In this particular case, the primary subject, college sports rivalries are notable, as demonstrated by the presence of the stand-alone Wikipedia article regarding "college rivalry," as well as a separate category, "Category:College football rivalries in the United States." Further demonstrating the notability of the topic is the fact that each of the college football rivalries included within the list are separately notable, and are linked to stand-alone Wikipedia articles. In the case of this list, the creator chose to limit the list only to those college football rivalry games that have been played 100 or more times; this is consistent with WP:LISTN: "editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles." In keeping with the guidelines of WP:LISTPURP, this list also serves recognized valid purposes as both an information source and gateway navigational tool which are not being served by any other article or list. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:02, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page was created by a blocked/banned user. That itself is a criterion for speedy deletion, which was rejected. You have failed to address that reason for deletion in your rationale for keeping the article. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 21:10, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not specifically address the speedy deletion criteria because I didn't believe it necessary. The G5 criterion states in pertinent part that "[p]ages created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block, and which have no substantial edits by others" may be speedily deleted. This fails on two points. First, the article creator was neither banned nor blocked at the time the article was created ("created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block"). Second, significantly more than half of the total content of the article was added by editors other than the article creator ("and which have no substantial edits by others"). In short, G5 does not apply by its own terms. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:31, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware that the G5 criterion is to be interpreted in that way. Latish redone is blocked/banned due to vandalism by his/her sockpuppet account Rhinoselated, right? Then the issue isn't that Latish redone was banned/blocked "at the time the article was created", rather, the creation of the article should be treated as vandalism since the accounts were indef-blocked for being vandalism-only accounts. Also, it is not true that the article has had substantial content added by others. The original version of the article contains the vast majority of the content that is currently in the article now. Other editors have only edited to add their own commentary and to "update" (but not fully) particular entries in the table. So I would say that the article content is contributed primarily by a vandalism-only account. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 06:41, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Any reason why this information should not be merged into List of NCAA college football rivalry games, which is a navigation list for all rivalries?—Bagumba (talk) 23:02, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This was a select list based on all-time rivalry meetings; sublists are permitted, but should not completely duplicate existing content. That having been said, if we were to "merge" these lists, it would make more sense to upgrade the parent list to the same content and formatting as the sublist. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:41, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the number of games played and series record would be nice to have for all rivalries. Filtering by number of games would be fine if this was the only list of rivalries; however, since the other list exists, this subset seems arbitrary to have another article. It's not like there is much more prose to add about this group to justify another list.—Bagumba (talk) 01:28, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would be foolish and disruptive.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would make the article be indicative of legitimate contributions rather than vandal contributions. Therefore it should be a higher quality article if done that way. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 23:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I believe it meets the notability standard. I've made edits to this page over time and the information is always supported by the cited sources.

Keep per Paulmcdonald. There's no reason to delete something just because it's written by someone who's now blocked. I also agree with Paul's other comment that recreating for the sake of not retaining contributions by a blocked user is ludicrous. Go Phightins! 15:08, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your argument is faulty - WP does as a matter of fact delete (by policy) contributions by blocked/banned users. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 22:40, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then we can ignore the rules as sanctioned in the five pillars. Go Phightins! 23:08, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Phightins, IAR is not an all-purpose cure-all for every policy or guideline with which you disagree or whose proper execution renders a result that you don't like. Recently, I've seen IAR cited as a justification for ignoring the notability guidelines in AfD discussions; this is not the purpose for which IAR was intended. IAR should be reserved for those occasions when policy or a guideline renders an illogical result or one that is clearly detrimental to the encyclopedic purpose of Wikipedia. When such an occasion arises, the proponent of IAR in a particular set of circumstances bears the burden of demonstrating how Wikipedia would be harmed by the failure to adhere to the policy or guideline. That having been said, IAR is not needed here; the subject of this list is notable, and the G5 speedy deletion criterion does not apply, contrary to the AfD nomination, as explained above.

You and everyone else should feel free to ignore the G5 and "vandalism" arguments advanced by IP user 71.90.216.96. While I assume his support of the "delete" position is taken in good faith, he clearly does not understand the requirements of the G5 speedy deletion criterion or the Wikipedia meaning of "vandalism." The closing administrator will. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:56, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that...I was saying that if there was policy that we had to delete everything from vandals, then it would be prudent to ignore that rule to keep what's clearly an article on a notable subject. Go Phightins! 23:59, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Or we could just delete the vandalistic content and replace it with legitimate content. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 23:30, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you calling this article "vandalistic"? Go Phightins! 23:39, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is vandalistic by WP standards, since it was created by User:Latish redone, the bulk of its content (including many updates) is (or was) contributed by User:Latish redone, and User:Latish redone was blocked for vandalism by his/her sockpuppet account User:Rhinoselated. Therefore it should be deleted. (It could be recreated if the topic of most played rivalries were deemed notable but I also assert that that is not the case.) 71.90.216.96 (talk) 01:21, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't sell yourself short; creating this list was one of the few positive contributions you made to Wikipedia, imo. Zeng8r (talk) 01:31, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not User:Latish redone or User:Rhinoselated or any of his/her sockpuppets. If I am, why would I request the deletion of my own article? 71.90.216.96 (talk) 03:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doing some regrettable things later doesn't invalidate your prior work...Go Phightins! 03:41, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rhinoselated was blocked for being a "vandalism-only account", according to the block log. [4] Latish redone was blocked for being a sockpuppet of Rhinoselated. [5] This indicates that none of Rhinoselated's edits are valid, and that Latish redone's edits are tainted due to being linked to Rhinoselated. So this is not a case in which someone made legitimate edits and then turned into a vandal. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 03:56, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but are you calling this article vandalism (reminder: vandalism is considered any edit made in bad faith to harm the encyclopedia)? I hardly think so. Go Phightins! 04:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and WP policies support my position by allowing the deletion of contributions from blocked and banned users. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 04:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Most played rivalries in NCAA Division I FBS page is an important page for college football enthusiasts around the country and the only page offered, of its kind, on the Internet that I am aware of. I see it regularly referenced on college football talk message boards all over the websphere and, as a matter of fact, I see it being used as a reference point in a conversation on at least two different college football message boards today. The Most played rivalries in NCAA Division I FBS is also an excellent portal page to Wiki, when linked on the various sites, for users that might find other sites of interest relating to the college football program which they support. In other words, it drives traffic to the entire wikipedia organization. I would ask that the page not be deleted, but rather improved. I was just reminded that the page has been used as a source of reference, just recently, during Rivalries Weekend on ESPN. I also volunteer to adopt the page and bring it current and up to standards.

I resent my nomination being referred to as "bogus". What a clear violation of WP:AGF.

IP User 71.90.216.196, "bogus" was a poor choice of words. "Ill-conceived" would be both more accurate and more diplomatic. Your reliance on G5 and your "vandalism" argument for the deletion of this article are based on your clear misunderstanding of both of those Wikipedia policies. Please re-read them and learn. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:07, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dirtlawyer, I'm almost certain that the IP user you're arguing with is a sock of the same banned user who created this list in the first place, namely User:Latish redone / User:Rhinoselated. He always enjoyed yanking the chains of editors who take his trollish arguments seriously, just like he's doing now. This result of this nomination is clear, so I'd advise everyone to stop playing along. Zeng8r (talk) 01:31, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Deleting this page would not be using G5 for its intended purpose. Ryan Vesey 04:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then what is the intended purpose of G5? afaik, it is meant to remove the contributions of blocked/banned users so that the encyclopedia is not tainted by invalid edits. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 04:09, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but this is not an invalid edit. This is a list that is sourced, notable, and clearly not made to harm the encyclopedia. At this point, I would move for a snow keep closure. Go Phightins! 04:11, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, a snow close is in order here and might help to prevent further drama. To the IP: you have made your point. The consensus is clearly against you. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C) 04:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A snow keep closure is inappropriate here since - if you disregard my suggestion - there exists (an) editor(s) who has/have suggested that merging the article is appropriate. Therefore the discussion should be allowed to continue. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 04:27, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of G5 is to allow a series of articles created by a banned user to be deleted. This relieves editors of the burden of going through all of the articles to determine which should be kept and which should be deleted. It is particularly useful if the user was banned for copyvio or creating hoaxes. Once the community has determined that an article, as written, is worthy of being included, it should never be deleted. Ryan Vesey 04:16, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then that just proves my point. How do we know that this article isn't a copyvio or hoax or otherwise illegitimate article? We can delete the article, and if editor(s) believe that there should be an article on most played rivalries then a new one can be created. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 04:22, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can't systematically delete articles because they might be copyright violations. I can tell you that all of the rivalries exist, so it's not a hoax. This is growing rather ludicrous...Go Phightins! 04:24, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fellas, I'm telling you... Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Latish redone Zeng8r (talk)

Well, we can. That's what G5 is for. In this case, the article was brought to AFD where editors determined that it is not a hoax and not a copyvio. G5 stops applying once oversight from another editor has occurred. Ryan Vesey 04:34, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Let me rephrase my comment...I understand that's what G5 is for, I should have said, "In this case we shouldn't" rather than "you can't". Clearly this is not subject to G5, so I see little purpose in continuing this discussion. Go Phightins! 04:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What are we even discussing G5 for? Latish redone wasn't even blocked when this article was created. Ryan Vesey 04:36, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The nom rationale implied that since the user has since been blocked, we should somehow remove all of his/her prior contributions. Go Phightins! 04:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reason Latish and Rhinoselated are blocked is because they are "vandalism-only" accounts. So what is the relevance of when they were blocked? A vandalism-only account does nothing but vandalize, right? And this article is one of those vandalistic contributions. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 04:51, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, this article is not a vandalistic contribution. I know no other way of putting this to you. Did you even bother to read the article prior to nominating it? It is clearly not vandalism, it has over a dozen references, it has footnotes, it's readable, and it was made in good faith. By definition, it is not vandalism. Would you please read the policy?!? Go Phightins! 04:53, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So you are suggesting that it is improper for Rhinoselated and/or Latish redone to have been blocked indefinitely? 71.90.216.96 (talk) 05:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, while Latish was not blocked, Rhinoselated was indeed blocked when Latish created the article. So this article is indeed a contribution from a blocked user while blocked. 71.90.216.96 (talk) 04:56, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further research that appears not to be the case, but the point stands - what is the relevance of when a vandalism-only account was blocked? 71.90.216.96 (talk) 05:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The G5 criteria applies to "Pages created by banned or blocked users in violation of their ban or block, and which have no substantial edits by others." I think you'll find that this article has plenty of edits by others. AutomaticStrikeout (T • C) 13:37, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's no convincing reason for the deletion of the article. The notability of the subject is easily distinguishable and the fact that the article includes the subject's viewpoints is not something unprecedented. It's a common practice in the majority of Wikipedia's biographical articles that the viewpoints of the subject, whether a journalist, academician or author are included. --ZahraKazemi (talk) 17:06, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.

The article suffers from a bias in favor of the author's viewpoints which are very close to those of the Iranian government which has many critics. Many of these articles appear to be proposed for deletion to make it difficult to research who these people are really speaking for, and Plot Spoiler has also proposed to delete Mark Dankof who also writes for Iran's PressTV.

As a Palestinian and Arab I consider the removal request merely as one more example for to what lengths "some" will go to silence news and opinion which does not concur with the most prevalent and socially accepted "consensus reality" which is disseminated by media in traditional colonialist, neo-colonialist countries and and their allies.

Keep. There's no doubt that the subject is notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry. The reasons presented for the removal of his page are superficial. Wikipedia should always maintain a certain degree of impartiality and objectivity so as to preserve its credibility.

Delete The one source that might potentially establish notability is the award he received, but that fails to establish enough context to be meaningful, plus the site the supporting article is hosted on has enough indiscriminate tabloid trash to be highly questionable. All of the other sources are either trivial, (staff-directory pages for sites he has contributed to) or opinion pieces he himself has written. This page needs sources about him, not by him.Grayfell (talk) 08:55, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an ideology forum. Banning someone from Wikipedia and removing his/her entry for simply maintaining certain viewpoints is not an acceptable behavior. The majority of those who call for the deletion of this entry do so because their political viewpoints are different from that of the subject; otherwise, they don't bring up convincing evidence to support their position. ZahraKazemi (talk) 18:21, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has many articles on people with a wide variety of viewpoints; this discussion is about Kourosh Ziabari's basic notability. Regardless of his views, sources fail to adequately establish that he warrants an article at all. This is not a discussion of whether or not he would be 'banned' from Wikipedia, that is a different issue. Grayfell (talk) 00:30, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Grayfell; you fail to demonstrate, by bringing up evidence and witnesses, that Kourosh Ziabari is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry. On what basis do you propose such an argument? Kourosh Ziabari has been published and interviewed by the world's most renowned progressive media outlets (if you can come to terms with such media) and if what you say is true, then all the journalists who have pages on Wikipedia lack the basic notability which you talk of. ZahraKazemi (talk) 19:41, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! Do you honestly believe that the Iranian regime's Press TV and Veterans Today with its anti-semitic conspiracy theories are "progressive" outlets? Far from it. Plot Spoiler (talk) 20:36, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, Plot Spoiler, your concern is not the subject's notability. You have an ideological problem with the subject, and as I mentioned earlier, I think nobody agrees with you that Wikipedia is a place for ideological arguments and value judgments. If you have a problem with the "Iranian regime," I think you should solve it somewhere else, not by nominating for deletion the entry for someone whom you constantly fail to demonstrate is not notable and does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. ZahraKazemi (talk) 20:54, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other neutral editors and I have demonstrated that the subject clearly fails the notability criteria. If you wish to keep ignoring Wikipedia policy, that's fine. Plot Spoiler (talk) 20:57, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you are a "neutral editor." And by accusing me of ignoring Wikipedia's policy, you cannot put a lid on your anti-Iran bias. So, it's easily conceivable that after this entry, you'll continue nominating the entries of those who support the "Iranian regime" and weave "anti-semitic" conspiracies. I have a suggestion for you. Nominate Gunter Grass's entry for deletion. He has recently composed some anti-semitic poems! By the way; where are your demonstrations? ZahraKazemi (talk) 21:12, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think his association with antisemitic web sites is the issue. Neither is his 'fringe' viewpoint. ZahraKazemi, if you really want to save this article, I challenge you to find reliable, non-primary sources establishing his notability. There are many journals and magazines that discuss journalists and journalism, so if he is as notable as you claim, you should be able to find something. The burden of proof is on you to establish that he is notable, not us to demonstrate that he isn't. Complaining about other editors isn't going to get you anywhere. Grayfell (talk) 22:16, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think we are now heading toward a logical, reason-based discussion. Why not? I'll cite references and evidences to establish that he is notable; references and sources which are abundantly accessible on the web and indicate the subject's notability in a clear-cut and unequivocal way. If the problem was really a lack of sufficient and strong references and sources, it could have been discussed in the article's talk page, not in its nomination for deletion page. So, once this arguments come to an end, I'll work on improving the article. ZahraKazemi (talk) 22:44, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Journalists are only notable if other people write about them, i.e., if secondary sources exist. I see nothing in the article or the links above that establish this. Without these sources it is not possible to write a neutral article. TFD (talk) 23:21, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The case that you would need to make to overcome the lack of presumption of notability per WP:NFOOTBALL is to show that Drury has had significant coverage in independent reliable sources.

Strong delete - First of all, I'm concerned by the possible copy violation from the IMDb bio which I find suspicious that both accounts (the user who submitted the bio and this article's creator) are single purpose accounts. Second, she has never received any significant work with nearly everything being minor roles and the TV jobs are no more than one episode. I thought searching with Google News would probably be useless unless she has other work such as plays and theatre productions, I searched but alas found nothing relevant. Considering the close paraphrasing, I would lean towards a G12 deletion as a precaution but I don't know if this article's biography came before the IMDb one. I searched Google News again with her next film, Slink, but found nothing useful and a different search provided this which wouldn't be very helpful.

The unexpanded article was pretty threadbare and I feel its always both good experience and practice to fix something up. Having more for others to study might have encouraged expanded searches for her under her various names and projects... and just maybe someone else might come along and be luckier than I.

- Comment: Most likely because you saying that he's notable doesn't have any effect. The only way to argue against a lack of notability is to provide evidence (sources) that shows other users that Sako Chivitchian is notable.

Keep - is notable due to his judo accomplishments, which are sourced and valid. To quote from the article, "he has won a total of eleven U.S. national titles including junior titles in 2000[8] and 2001 and two junior Olympic championships. In 2001–2002, he was named the United States Judo Federation's National Youth Male Athlete of the Year. He has placed first and third in the Junior U.S. Open Judo Championships, and competed in the 2003 World Judo Championships in South Korea."

Also was a competitor on a notable TV show which received X million amount of viewers. Definitely notable. WP:MMANOT doesn't apply. Once again, TELL THE CREATOR OF THE ARTICLE ABOUT ITS DEL NOM! Paralympiakos (talk) 21:53, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tamaskan Dog[edit]

Not notable;
Unrecognized by all major dog associations;

There has been a brief discussion here about this article, also Utonagan and Northern Inuit Dog. Utonagan is already at AfD and I'm also tagging Northern Inuit Dog now. SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:13, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've also now checked through the previous AfDs for this article, which I hadn't been aware of when I initiated this nomination. I feel in the time elapsed, if this was a bonafide 'breed' it would have had sufficient time to have been recognised in some form by at least a basic established registry or to have secured more reliable references.

Delete [9] is the only reference I've found that isn't either in the article, a forum, or a pure page about the Tamaskan Dog. At least 50% of the references in the article are primary, and the others are about individual dogs, not general information about the breed - I fail to see how this confers the notability of the breed, especially as I've seen no evidence of any dog organization recognizing it. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:10, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Tamaskan Dogs are registered via an international registry: the Tamaskan Dog Register (TDR). It takes many years (decades) for a new breed to be officially recognized by other 'established' registries (I'm sure you're aware of the AKC FSS requirements). However, once a breed has been officially recognized, then the stud books are closed forever (no new out-crosses are permitted). For any dog breed, genetic variety is paramount (along with full health testing, careful selective breeding over many generations, etc)... if these steps are rushed, the new breeds would fail. It is imperative to wait for official recognition until the moment is right: when it is in the breed's best interest. The Tamaskan breed IS relatively well-known around the world, despite not being officially recognized, and I have included more references to magazine articles, etc. (I have some more magazine articles that I can scan and upload / hotlink if necessary, including Dutch, German and Croatian magazine articles.) Dogs Today July 2009 Issue News Article Furthermore, the Tamaskan IS recognized as an 'unofficial' breed by the British Veterinary Association (BVA), the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), and SCIDERA, INC (all of which list the Tamaskan as a BREED on their official databases).BVA Statistics Sylvaen (talk) 13:04, 13 December 2012 (UTC)— Sylvaen (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Wow, it's own association recognizes it. That means absolutely nothing. A lot of that argument of yours fails WP:CRYSTAL, and relies on primary sources, individual dogs and forums... no useful sources. Lukeno94 (talk) 15:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So you are saying that the British Veterinary Association (BVA), the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), Scidera, Dogs Today magazine and countless American newspapers that cite the breed in recent articles are not 'useful' sources to establish the breed's notoriety? Sylvaen (talk) 16:45, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know we cannot access the Dogs Today article without an account on your forums, which does nothing for suspicions that the article is, for example, simply faked by your organization. Can you provide a link to an outside source? A quick spin around the magazine website itself doesn't bolster my confidence about its reliability, either.

The other problem is that all the sources you cited will recognize pretty much anything presented to it as a breed and if they source back to TDR it kind of defeats the point. --Tikuko 17:45, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT It also seems to me that you might have extremely close ties with TDR, considering you breed the dogs yourself, which might invalidate your entire argument as trying to protect the crossbreed so you can profit off it (or whatever motives might be behind that). --Tikuko 17:48, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am saying that those aren't useful - all those organisations do not have them as an official breed. There are very few sources I've seen anywhere that don't talk about one dog or another specifically; pretty much all sources you've shown are either not reliable enough, and any on a single dog fail WP:INHERIT. I like the look of the dogs, but WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid reason for an article. Lukeno94 (talk) 18:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - 22,200 Global monthly searches for the keyword "Tamaskan" on google ^[1] surely gives weight to the argument that there are people out there searching for information on the Tamaskan.

As a trusted information portal, Wikipedia is a key resource, and generally the first port of call for many interested in finding out more on ANY topic.

The largest pet insurance provider in the world ^[2] specifically lists the Tamaskan as a "named breed" that they insure. ^[3]

Wikipedia's own definition of "Dog Breed" states ''Dog breeds are not scientifically defined biological classifications, but rather are groupings defined by clubs of hobbyists called breed clubs. A dog breed is represented by a sufficient number of individuals to stably transfer its specific characteristics over generations. Dogs of same breed have similar characteristics of appearance and behavior, primarily because they come from a select set of ancestors who had the same characteristics.[3] Dogs of a specific breed breed true, producing young closely similar to the parents. An individual dog is identified as a member of a breed through proof of ancestry, using genetic analysis or written records of ancestry." ^[4].

The Tamaskan Breed and the Breed Club (TDR) conform to this definition to the letter. By this definition there is no requirement for a breed to be recognized by any other authority other than its own established breed club, therefore the citation of not having recognition as the basis for deletion is unfounded. Furthermore, there are 6 Established National clubs, which are run as separate concerns outside the function of the TDR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.8.142.150 (talk) 12:15, 15 December 2012 (UTC) — 94.8.142.150 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Let's take this apart piece by piece, mister SPA IP. The number of searches for something on Google has no relevance whatsoever to Wikipedia. What a pet insurance provider does or does not do doesn't affect notability one jot. The Tamaskan breed is yet to be fully "defined" as a set of characteristics, for if it had, it would be recognized fully and officially by at least one notable dog organization. Besides, the Dog Breed page is not a WP guideline by any stretch of the imagination. Any sources that stem directly from the TDR fail WP:V as they are either Self-published or questionable sources as sources on themselves. The number of national clubs for the dog is irrelevant, plus you have no sources whatsoever to back up your claims. The breed fails WP:GNG under my own and other WP editor's researches, as everything either fails WP:V, WP:INHERIT (articles about a single dog, not about the breed itself), and possibly other guidelines as well. The fact your forum(s) form SPA accounts and are acting as SPA IP editors says enough, really. And I'm not against the breed in any way - as mentioned before, I like the look of them, but WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid ground for an article. Lukeno94 (talk) 21:33, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is something that is "worthy of note". There is a claim that this Article has no notability, however there are 22,200 searches on a monthly basis by people searching for information on which the Article pertains. This by definition is therefore Notable in the General use of the term. Google is being used here as reference to the Notability of the subject matter to which the Article pertains, therefore I challenge the view that there is no relevance. The Tamaskan Breed has a defined Breed Standard and as such a set of characteristics that "define" the Breed^[5]. The Breed stud books are still open and "recognition" by external organisations have not been sought yet. This will come in due course. Reference to the WP Dog Breed page was used to demonstrate the WP accepted standard for what the WP community defines as a "Dog Breed". To which the reference still stands and demonstrates the point in question. For Avoidance of Doubt and contrary to your comments, I am not affiliated with the TDR, nor represent them or their forum. I am a SPA by definition, as this is a subject that I feel I can add a voice to. On a personal note, I do not understand why anyone would want to remove the Article unless they had some sort of personal Agenda. The Tamaskan is a new designer dog breed, as are many many other. The information on the Page, is informative and does not interfere with any other subject outside of its core. It is a Niche community at present, and they are trying to grow awareness. An Encyclopedia, is a reference portal for those seeking knowledge and understanding on a subject they are researching. The Tamaskan is a breed of dog with approx 400 registrations held in a central database and managed by an international community. It exists. It is not a made up word, name, or Breed. Several Primary and Tertiary references have already been given as to the validity of the subject matter in the Article. 94.8.142.150 (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No one ever said it was a made-up breed. The fact is, once again, your argument is clearly failing WP:CRYSTAL. Google search counts mean nothing whatsoever, due to the large amount of bots and things that also search through Google. You pretty much contradict yourself by saying the breed has been defined and yet the books are still open. 400 registrations (once again, a completely unreferenced number there) is hardly a large number, nor does it confer notability. I've already refuted your point about references - they pretty much all fail WP:INHERIT or WP:V. Lukeno94 (talk) 15:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The Tamaskan Breed has a defined Breed Standard". The Tamaskan as a Breed is still in development and out-crosses are still being considered to improve the consistency of offspring meeting the Breed Standard hence why the stud books are still open. It is not my intention, nor i believe the purpose of the Afd process to spend time and energy arguing Semantics with people who have an agenda. The essence of my comments are clear, and apologies if my comments don't meet WP:GPG WP:CRYSTAL WP:INHERIT WP:XYZ. I am not a wiki librarian and these are unknown to me. I am interested in making my POV known and adding constructive discussion to the process. Decontruct and misdirect as much as you want. It is clear your comments are borne from agenda, rather than constructive discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.8.142.150 (talk) 15:58, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no agenda whatsoever, other than to see Wikipedia improved - besides, did you miss the bit I wrote twice about actually liking the dogs? For an article to be valid, it needs to pass the relevant guidelines, hence why I've cited them regularly in my comments. I would like to point out once again that you say the breed has a defined standard, and yet it is still in development - the fact it is still in development means that it is WP:TOOSOON to have an article on the breed. The fact is, the article has been twice deleted in the past, and yet there appears to have been no progress whatsoever with sources and such - the fact that searching for the Tamaskan on Google brings up a whole host of primary websites, with no reliable secondary ones in there, bar a questionable-looking Dogbreedinfo page (Wikipedia and Facebook don't count as reliable sources), says enough about its general notability, to be honest. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:27, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"A breed standard (also called bench standard) in animal fancy and animal husbandry is a set of guidelines which is used to ensure that the animals produced by a breeder or breeding facility conform to the specifics of the breed.". Development is the actions by which the standard is attained. The Standard is a Goal. 94.8.142.150 (talk) 19:21, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thus confirming there is no standard as of yet, so this article fails either WP:CRYSTAL and/or WP:TOOSOON. Lukeno94 (talk) 19:33, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is frustrating. I'm not really sure how else to explain it so that you will understand. The Breed Standard exists. The Standard is the guidelines by which the Breed conforms and aspires to. Development is the means by which out-crosses, when/if approved help the Breed maintain and or more closely and consistently meet the set standard. 94.8.142.150 (talk) 20:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If you can own the dog today, it is not WP:CRYSTAL. Why are people saying the notability is inherited? This is a type of dog - so it's going to have traits from related (more notable) dogs...is that the issue? As far as notability, it was already explained that this will not be recognized by the people who keep track of breed standards for many years. I know WP does not accept google hits as evidence of notability - but I do not see why it is not notable, aside from that. Although it's not as notable as something like a dalmatian, it isn't a small litter of cross-bred dogs being given away in the local newspaper. There are societies, magazines, buyers, breeders, etc... all for this dog. Angelatomato (talk) 06:03, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Suggestion For those on the Delete side, maybe there is a way to preserve the content of dogs not yet recognized by "the official" standards (but actively bred, owned, and living in real life today) on here. So, rather than deleting this and the Utonagans (and even the Northern Inuit now has an AFD), would it make more sense to merge them under one heading like "Dogs descended from xyz" or something (i am not really an expert on this topic - but you get the idea)? The guidelines to recommend merging content in similar cases. Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion (since I am not that familiar w dog breeds), but every time I read the article I am surprised people want it totally deleted. It has a lot of interesting information that seems consistent with WP standards +/- a few quality improvements that can be accomplished. Angelatomato (talk) 08:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question - If an article is written about the Tamaskan Dog Register, which can pass WP:V based on the the fact it is a bona-fide registered company with the British Government through Companies house ^[6] would the Tamaskan article not therefore pass WP:INHERIT? as it pertains to the business associated with the Tamaskan Dog Register WP:V? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.8.142.150 (talk) 13:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, notability is not inherited, that's the entire point of that guideline. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:10, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per Angelatomato. While I'm not persuaded by the argument based on the number of Google hits, the rest is sufficient to confer notability on the breed. I don't see this as falling under WP:CRYSTAL. Circumspect (talk) 08:31, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The question isn't it's status level compared to other breeds under the various systemsm it's wp:notability, which is a means to the end of determining advisability of being an enclyclopedia article. I think that it's right on the edge regarding wp:notability-suitable sourcing. It IS an encyclopedic topic, and the type of one where people would try Wikipedia to learn about it. For for me this "on the edge" situation goes to "keep". North8000 (talk) 12:24, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Just because the standard isn't finalized doesn't disqualify it from being notable. The key is whether the breed/variety is discussed in sufficient secondary sources to make it notable. Bring in the News & Observer article: "…the Tamaskan, a rare Finnish breed that is people-friendly but looks remarkably lupine." It's a single example, written in the context of a single dog, but it shows that journalists are willing to refer to it as a breed. (Full disclosure: I am an alumnus of NC State, the school using said Tamaskan as a live "wolf" mascot. I have no other connection to the breed and no connection to any breeders or registries.) Thus, I think the best course is to keep looking for more references rather than to delete the article.

I also don't think we should delete the article just because it's turned into a battleground for two competing registries. Yes, there's a lot of edit warring inclusion/exclusion of one registry or the other. It's probably best for the reader and for the article to note that there are two registries out there—and that neither of them yet has formal recognition from the major kennel clubs. If the effort spent on that were spent on expanding the article with secondary sources, we'd probably have a strong article and wouldn't need to have this discussion today. —C.Fred (talk) 14:17, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There is a Tamaskan club, (THEIR SITE), and thus the burden of proof that the breed exists is met in my eyes. Whether this or that national organization recognizes the breed is neither here nor there — it exists, it is being written about, as others note above, beyond that all I hear is the sound of axes being ground... Carrite (talk) 20:35, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable because it's a new breed-in-progress. Not being recognized by the major dog organizations doesn't mean it's not of interest to people (myself included). Notable because there are numerous communities and forums and breeders. There are two breeders just in Wisconsin (http://www.moondancetamaskan.com/ and http://www.freewebs.com/tamaskanusa/). I don't understand the "dubious references" claim at all. There's a ton of information out there. I realize there's some restructuring going on with the register, but the discussions that go along with that do not in any way necessitate deleting the entire Tamaskan Dog page. Noxbird (talk) 19:10, 22 December 2012 (UTC)— Noxbird (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

There's nothing notable about a breed-in-progress just for that reason. Having numerous communities/forums/breeders is not a grounds for something being notable. The sources everywhere are either primary, or about a single dog that happens to be a Tamaskan - I've struggled to find anything on the breed itself. The influx of SPAs here, including you, does not help. Lukeno94 (talk) 11:02, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like the article is being held up to impossible standards. My complaint is with those standards, not necessarily with the specific circumstances of the Tamaskan registry conflicts. Also I don't see the relevance of the age of my account. Is that attack not a red herring and/or ad hominem? I stand with my "Keep" vote. I can't argue within the confines of Wikipedia's standards, just as a dumb user that would lose a web page that I find useful. Noxbird (talk) 03:50, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How about this? Tamaskans are mentioned here with a third party reference here. Noxbird (talk) 03:56, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meets the minimum criteria for notability, I think. TheBlueCanoe 17:26, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, I'm Neutral, in light of the comments below. My judgement may have been clouded by the fact that I really want one of these dogs. TheBlueCanoe 03:29, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I was not sure if it was appropriate for me to comment as I nominated this article for deletion but feel I should expand on my reasons for nominating it. I have ‘no axe to grind’ whatsoever; in fact, I had never made any edits to the article until I added the nomination template. As indicated in the AfD, my attention had been drawn due to the discussion here.

I stated ‘dubious’ references because I do not feel the references meet WP:RS. Within a few hours of the AfD, additional references were added despite the editor having been previously informed they were not considered reliable - see [11]. The references have also been questioned at length on the Talk page.

There are presently 18 references on the article: 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are all to one or other of the two (opposing) TDR sites; 3 and 7 are to [12], a WP:SPS; 9 does not even mention a Tamaskan; ten through to eighteen are all for one dog and are predominantly facebook, forums etc so again not WP:RS and this would also come under WP:INHERIT - there is even doubt as to whether the dog is a Tamaskan[13], it seems it is accepted just because the TDR state it’s a Tamaskan.

Then we have a list of publications, without any indication as to why they are being listed. I have searched through the Dogs Today site and been unsuccessful in finding the articles referred to. The Florida Lupine News article is written by the TDR so is not an independent source.

So to summarize (in my opinion): the article fails WP:GNG, WP:V and WP:RS - just because WP:ITEXISTS does not make it notable.

Completely unsalavagable page. Speedy deletion declined. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 08:31, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Well, I wouldn't say completely unsalvageable. It definitely needs some TLC, but I'm finding some reviews out there and given how popular the series is over in Japan, there should be some Japanese sources as well. I'll try to re-write the monster synopsis for the plot as well as add the cast listing to make this a little better looking. I think part of the confusion is that someone added the infobox for a completely separate movie to the same article without any true rhyme or reason.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:00, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I did a major rehaul of the article, essentially re-writing most of it and deleting a ton of it. I've removed the entire plot section since it didn't make a whole lot of sense and couldn't really remain as it was. I also found two reviews from DVD Talk and ANN, as well as some news articles about it, one of which is in Chinese. I'm slightly hampered by the language barrier, but I did find enough to show that it should pass WP:NFILM.

Keep - We keep accredited degree awarding institutions for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian educational instituions because, unlike their US equivalents for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all.

Article about a magazine that doesn't seem to exist. Unfortunately, I spent a minute or two tidying up this page which came as a Random article. The article gave a website for the Chidlren's Health magazine which is actually the website of Men's Health, published by the company that supposedly publishes this, Rodale. That company's website has no mention of Children's Health. A reference on the page was to a report on www.earthtimes.org that was not there - searching through the site did not reveal it. A Google search brought up some references to the magazine (but not the magazine itself): most useful is this press release which suggests it was a one issue special produced jointly by Men's Health and Women's Health in 2009. As such, the article is misleading but, more importantly, this appears to be a non-notable minor publication. Emeraude (talk) 17:15, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not notable in the least and the roles she is best known for are a commercial and a nurse every year or so in Grey's Anatomy. Google News found results that are mostly relevant to Grey's Anatomy here (brief mention and noting she had a fling with McDreamy, a character) and Google Books found this (Who Was Who on TV listing). She was also cast in the 2005 and 2006 play 7 Redneck Cheerleaders with references here and here and this mentions she participated in a theatre event, 24 Hour Hollywood Rush but this isn't much to sustain the article. I also found this (first result from the top) self-published book that lists her as one of the world's best celebrities which I honestly find ridiculous because she hasn't had much work to even be considered notable and it seems this book is really only a list. I also found this blog which mentions her brother died of an undisclosed addiction (I'm assuming drugs though) and she co-founded a company, NightKAP Entertainment but I haven't found any evidence to suggest this company is notable. She is pretty and it's a shame she hasn't received better work but she is not notable at this time. SwisterTwister talk 23:31, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pui Chan[edit]

On notability and veracity grounds. The article has had issues for quite a while and makes some far reaching claims without any references except to themselves. Peter Rehse (talk) 05:47, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Martial arts-related deletion discussions. Peter Rehse (talk) 05:47, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the article claims "Chan has been featured in many magazines and film documentaries over the years featuring his skill and business prowess in the martial arts industry." If so then it does match notability guidelines. If not then it might be a candidate for PROD or even speedy delete. Can the proposer comment on the above claims? What attempts has the proposer made to find sources? JoshuSasori (talk) 07:31, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment PROD yes, speedy no. Remember that an A7 requires that the article does not make an assertion to importance, which is distinct and less strict than notability. Since this article does make an assertion of importance (true or false), it's not eligible for A7. Joe is a doctor is A7 material, Joe is a doctor who won the 2012 Foobar Award is not. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:28, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A very quick web search turns up a lot of material about this person. For example, he certainly was on the discovery channel documentary which the article claims (see my comment below). JoshuSasori (talk) 00:59, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment again, but there seems to be a fair amount of material out there about this person which is accessible via internet searches. JoshuSasori (talk) 08:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rickshaw (app)[edit]

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

PROD removed by anonymous SPA. Non-notable application. Fails WP:GNG with no independent and significant coverage from reliable sources (see Google News search and Google News Archive search). The article reads like a puff piece for the app and the people who designed it while not really giving any indication of important or notability. The article doesn't qualify for A7, in my opinion, as it's a product (although it also seems to be a company). The article may qualify for WP:G11 but this seemed more appropriate given the failure of the PROD. Lastly, the article was created by the user Jonathanfein, an SPA that is most likely the Jonathan Fein that co-created the company/product. OlYeller21^Talktome 04:28, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - All it looks like to me is an article with no citations, and one sentence comprising of 11 words. Talk about a stub! The article asserts no importance of the person it's about. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 00:41, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The infobox image has been provide by a "Tariq Ziyad Alobidy" who is user:Black houk. Not sure what to make of this at all now. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:52, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is when "Tariq Ziyad" started to "play" for this team. This is becoming more and more of a hoax. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:59, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
