References 4 and 5 are the strongest but they do not give any history regarding the church or its notabililty. no. 4 simply states that the church is given a mention in one of the speeches but there are no elaborations regarding that matter anywhere else in the webpage. No. 5 might give the possibility of notability since an annual congregation meet was held in Atlag.

Susan Wayland[edit]

Susan Wayland (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Unfixably badly written. Written entirely by one person, who probably has a conflict of interest. Foobaz·o< 22:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete. While I agree that removing unencyclopedic content would leave next to nothing in the article (and it definitely needs rewriting), I don't think that's grounds for deletion; however, I have my doubts about her notability. I'm not seeing any claim that she satisfies WP:PORNBIO, but I'm not sure whether the three interviews cited demonstrate notability or not. I'm not seeing any guideline saying they do, so I'm thinking they don't. (This, I think, is a case that demonstrates the weaknesses of the Google test; I'm not wading through 66,000 porn sites to try and find reliable sources, especially considering that she doesn't get any GNews hits.) AnturiaethwrTalk 23:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• (Defence ) As I agree with you (even if I am the article writer) that the article requires more sources and rewriting,I totaly Disagree with you regarding notability,as Miss Wayland is not Hradcore porn actress,she is not famous among porn sites which concentrate on Sexual aspects of porn (Direct sexual connections),yet,Miss Wayland is quiet notable and famous in the genre of softcore,fashion and latex modeling ,as her cover and mag apperances sugests,she did many covers ,interviews ,modeling and advertisments in the genre of latex fashion and fetish.

I fully undersatnd that the featish and latex genres are in and of themseves are not popular,yet there is alot of people into these genres (Including me) ,and beleive me,Miss Wayland is our first or ultimatly second most famous and recognizabble face in the genre,second only to Binca Beauchamp (In my opinion she is the first but I have to respect openion of other fetish and latex fans).

So If Miss Wayland is not popular amongst hardcore fans,It is extremely famous among Latex and Fetish Fans or what is called(The sweet Porn),and the evidence is the number of covers she made for the top Magazines in the genre like (Marquis , Massad , Skin Two , Pirates and many many more)

Thanx and I hope that you will change your mind,and this will be regarded as a respect for softcore fans. And a Last word to the guy who says that I have a conflict of inerest :I am a Fan to miss Wayland,I live in Iraq and she lives in germany,I never met her,never spooke to her,not connected to her in any way,not even participated to her paysite,I am Just A Fan,and If the article is entirely written by one person,theen it is not my fault,instead of spending time siting it for deletion,you can help by refining and increasing the article,I dont own the article according to WIKI roles,so you can be helpfull and make it better lol,wright????

--Loover (talk) 11:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. While I believe Miss Wayland is important enough for the genre of modeling she is active in to establish notability, the text of the article calls for a huge rework and improvement. Perhaps it would be best to start with a shorter text, but with accurate encyclopedic information and style and with proper referencing. Later it would be be possible to expand the article gradually. Rikapt (talk) 13:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Edited and keep Having followed Norman Richters photographic work for some time I took an interest in this page. I've had a go at editing it make it a bit more "reader friendly" whils also adding some extra credits and info to back up Susan Waylands notability as model and perfomer. Susan (aka Sway) has appeared in many notable fetish and alternative industry magazines and websites. The publications Sway has appeared in would easily equate to the more "regular" Penthouse or Playboy type magazines. As per the WB: Porn Bio thing, Sway has most definitely featured in noteable mainstream media when it comes to the main stays and big names of the fetish and latex world/industry. Magazines like Marquis and Skin Two are most assuredly major fetish magazines so Sway would quailfy under the first point with fetish falling under "as well as their counterparts in other pornography genres". I'd be hesitant to label Sway and/or Normans work as Pornographic, but fetish will more often than not be considered that way.Warped-Phot —Preceding comment was added at 12:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The edit by "Warped-Phot" is a very good improvement of my base. In my eyes it was never a question wheather Susan Wayland is noteable but the article was in poor quality. This problem is successfully solved. --MikeJones73 (talk) 22:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong delete: Wikipedia is not about shameless self-promotion per WP:SOAP, especially when it comes to non-notable individuals. The subject does not meet the basics of WP:PROF or WP:N. According to LexisNexis, only one article mentions "Jason Jeandell" and that was an announcement placed in the society section of a local newspaper by family members regarding his impending nuptials with one "Nicole Lyn Miller." Beyond that press release, I couldn't find anything suggesting notability in the print media. JSTOR contains no academic journal articles published by Jeandell, nor any mentions of his work. Google News and Factiva also make no mention of a "Jason Jeandell." Finally, Worldcat cites no books or citations linked to "Jason Jeandell."

This episode appears to have been more than random valndalism. Before removing all the votes (which were all delete votes) here, the same IP editor added Jason Jeandell back to List of University of Delaware people, see [4] (which I now reversed). In fact, we might be dealing with sockpuppetry here since the WHOIS results for 151.197.230.115[5] and for 70.110.143.113[6] are almost the same. Nsk92 (talk) 15:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I opt then to delete my own entry, since I have the right as its creator! Obviously I have found that adding any information to this site, not just autobiographic, is pointless since examination of it is carried out by a committee of individuals with their own agendas. I have made viable edits to wikipedia before on other articles that were legitimate additions with references that have since disappeared. Hell, you people are even making comments about stuff added to my entry by other users (ie. I didn't put the wedding reference on it nor did I tag my own home page in that manner). Besides, as a "notable" teacher in the state of Delaware (contrary to your opinions), we don't advise our students to use wikipedia anyway. So thank you and good night.User:Jjeandell

Stubbornness: Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them about an editing issue, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is regrettable—you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. Repeated deletion or addition of material may violate the three-revert rule, but this is not "vandalism" and should not be dealt with as such. ...So from what I read, I can delete my own and it isn't vandalism!

Opposed by everyone else? Last time I checked, you're the only one doing this. So if anyone's being stubborn, its you. Furthermore, what you are doing is blanking the page with no other reason than that you feel that you are entitled to do so because its yours. This IS vandalism.

Might not be a bad idea. Blanking a page (other than user's own user page or talk page or user's sandox) is vandalism, and is listed as no 1 example of vandalism in WP:VAND. Nsk92 (talk) 20:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it really needs that -- the page is going to be deleted (if I were an admin I would close the discussion now with a WP:SNOW delete), so it's not really being disruptive to the project by having the page wiped. Since that's the main reason why we have an anti-vandalism policy, I don't think it's necessary and will have the primary effect of alienating someone who could potentially be a future contributor to the project. If we can avoid biting the newcomers, might as well delay as much as possible. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would indeed be the best if some admin did a speedy close for this AfD as this would presumably resolve most problems. Perhaps posting a note at AN/I is the best way of achieving this. Nsk92 (talk) 20:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I stated as much on the article's talk page. I agree with Myke Cuthbert. The AfD is usually a five-day affair, but in this case, it might not be a bad idea to close this discussion sooner per WP:SNOW considering the subject clearly does not meet the notability criteria for a Wikipedia encyclopedia entry. Mr. Jeandell, we all realize that you are new to Wikipedia, so it would be unfair to expect you to understand most of our policies from the very beginning. That said, I do hope that you decide to edit Wikipedia, study its policies and guidelines, and make a productive contribution to the encyclopedia's content. Best regards, J Readings (talk) 20:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I appreciate the more kinder, gentler explanations of the previous 2 users (Myke and J). Much more appropriate. A snowball sounds fine to me. However, I am still going to be a lil alienated. As I stated before, I made useful additions to this encylopedia before (in forms of additional info and news references) that have been since deleted with no explanation.

Apparently non-notable musician, who was a member of band which briefly had minor success. The article is referenced only to his own MySpace page, and while a google news search throws up a few hits in the Irish music magazine Hot Press, I'm not sure that this adds up to notability per WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC.

I make the nomination because I think there is case for deletion, but I'll remain neutral for now. If kept, the article needs a major cleanup, because much of it appears to be original research or speculation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reply The band seems to me to be of marginal notability, but I took the view that in most cases a band is more than the sum of its parts ... so that individual band members will in general be less notable than the band.

      • Sorry, that's wrong. See the bottom of WP:MUSIC#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles:

        Members of notable bands are not given individual articles unless they have demonstrated notability for activity independent of the band.

• Comment - Hi, I just saw this article is being considered for deletion. It’s kind of a fine line with Ollie Cole. Yes, Turn were only moderately successful and since there hasn’t been much news with regard to Ollie.However, He has contributed to the highly praised charity album The Cake Sale and has spent much of his time since leaving Turn working on his solo album which is due out this year. Ollie is considered an important figure on the Irish music scene and shouldn’t be judged completely by Turn’s success or the last 2 absent years.If you wish I can clean up this page a little as it seems very unreferenced and bulky. I know of several articles and reviews that can be used as references for almost everything on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robmark23 (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery of Native Americans with facial hair (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

I'm not convinced this is a valid article- the does seem to be a potential discussion about facial hair and native Americans, but I don't feel that it deserves its own article, and especially not an article which is effectively a gallery of images of native Americans who happen to wear facial hair. Prod was removed by the author with the comment "Remove banner because I added sources." J Milburn (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep or merge. I think this is notable enough a topic for its own article, or at least merging into another article. However, I don't think it should be a gallery. It could be a proper article with a small gallery in it, but a gallery like this (even with an introduction) isn't that useful.

Notability and Verifiability requirement met by being both a pre-20th-Century American church still in existence combined with it being one of the oldest churches in its locality, combined with being cited in the listed references. Current article is does not meet Wikipedia standards, but that is grounds to improve the article not delete it. The content can be safely merged into Waukee, Iowa as part of a section that covers all historical churches in the town. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 15:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you preferring a keep or a rewrite? As far as your opinions for keepingj, all four churches (altogether average) in my hometown meet those criteria, along with dozens of congregations in my small denomination; simply a big number of years in its age and a small number of other churches nearby don't make it notable. Nyttend (talk) 15:56, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewritten for style with minimal content changes. I stripped out the current officers except the pastor and added a mention of the preschool and food pantry. The article could probably use an infobox. I'm okay with merging an abbreviated form of this and other similar churches in town into the city article and turning this into a redirect. As far as what the criteria for notability are for historic churches, different editors will draw the line at different places. This is part of why we have AfDs, so we can discuss whether a given church like this meets the criteria. I think we need input from a few more editors before the closing admin can made a decision. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• General comment on church articles It would make a good WikiProject to go through all the church articles, divide them into categories of "clearly not notable by any stretch of the imagination," "clearly meet Wikipedia's notability criteria," and "notability debatable," and do the appropriate speedy and afds on the latter two categories. For churches that do not assert their notability, an editor needs to at least read the church web page and do a web- and news-search to see if there is anything even marginally notable about the church, and if so, put a reference in the article before nominating it for deletion. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many countries have scandals and controversial incidents but there is no such page (as far as I've known) titled with one specific ethnic group (it includes incidents held in the U.S and Japan) to collect scandals for decades. The title and article could mislead that South Korea is the only country to keep causing scandals in the world. Besides, the lead says the list is about political scandals in South Korea but the article includes too many irrelevant incidents to politics. Appletrees (talk) 20:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I do find a Political scandals of the United States, also French political scandals... and the Political scandal has lists of scandals from several other countries. Dekkappai (talk) 21:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I could not find them in the category to which the feature article belongs, but you did. However, the title and article contents are not fit --Appletrees (talk) 21:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it just needs trimming and better sourcing? Dekkappai (talk) 21:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it should probably be renamed to either "Political scandals of South Korea" or "South Korean political scandals", to be in the same format as the other articles, and to emphasize that these are political scandals. Dekkappai (talk) 22:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, rename, cleanup & add sources. There are actually quite a few lists of political scandals by country, and there is no good reason why there shouldn't be one for South Korea as well. The only problems I can see with this article are cleanup issues. I don't see any valid reason for deletion. PC78 (talk) 22:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No notability, apparently a vanity article. Previous discussion was erroneously closed when the closing magistrate felt that sources documenting the TV show Con provided notability. This logic is flawed in that the issue here is not whether wikipedia should have an article on Con, (and we do), its ONLY on whether this person (creator of the show) should have his own article even though he has accomplished little besides that show. Furthermore, it is ludicrous that the article on Stone is about 7 times as long as the article on "Con," which I think ran for all of two months. I say lets excise this unneeded article and make mention of Mr. Stone's 5 minutes of fame on the article about "Con," the only place where it belongs.

• Keep on the grounds that just because an editor disagrees with the rationale behind the closing of an AFD, you still can't renominate it only a few days later. That's a case of renominating until a desired outcome is achieved.

For example, a Fox pilot called Skyler's Revolution (Hollywood Reporter); roles in movies such as Waiting... and its upcoming sequel Still Waiting...

Article fails to establish why this radio personality is notable. Orphaned for nearly 1 year. Rtphokie (talk) 19:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as subject is notable, verifiable, and covered in-depth in reliable sources. The time of her career limits the number of easily Googled sources (beware the FUTON bias trap!) but there are sufficient to cross the threshold. NPR devoting nearly four minutes of All Things Considered to the obit of this radio pioneer speaks strongly to notability as well. Article could use expansion but that's for another day. - Dravecky (talk) 22:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as the article is sourced properly, and the sources show notability. I concur with Dravecky, four minutes on a national program like ATC is very substantial coverage. In addition, she has further coverage here. Xymmax (talk) 02:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the first "Weak Keep" vote, the first reference is to "The Saturday Review" which has not existed since 1986, and the site linked is hosted by Pastore. Also, on Amazon, the editorial reviews are also faked. If the page is kept, I suggest noting that while he has made some donations to libraries, the items donated have yet to be verified as genuine, and every book he has published is self-published and is cites fictional and misleading reviews.

• Delete per Pleasantville. I edited this article extensively, and while there are many web hits to be found on the subject, they don't seem to have much substance behind them. I removed most of them from the article as being of unconfirmed validity, and what's left doesn't show notability. I also am going to add Never on These Shores to this nomination, as its notability is based entirely on the notability of the author, and on the validity of a award it claims. Finally, I don't know what it is about Mr Pastore, but there are too many SPAs around for me to feel altogether comfortable. I'm placing a warning template on this discussion.

• Comment I find it hard to believe that every site which has reviewed Pastore's books is a fake site from Pastore himself (isn't saying that without proof a violation of WP:BLP, anyway?). Rambles.net reviews heaps of books, including Pastore's NoTS [13]; NNDB an extensive database of noteworthy people has an entry on Sinclair Lewis listing "Sinclair Lewis: A Descriptive Bibliography, 1997, BY: Stephen R. Pastore" among the books about SL. Here's more:
  • James M. Hutchisson CV, Professor of American Literature and Southern Studies, Department of English, The Citadel, Charleston, South Carolina, lists Pastore as editor of "World So Wide: The Life Journey of Sinclair Lewis." Sinclair Lewis: A Descriptive Bibliography, ed. Stephen R. Pastore (New Haven, CT: Yale Books, 1997), pp. 21-36.
  • Oxford Journal, one of his books are cited in XVIII Bibliography and Textual Criticism, BAKER and WOMACK, Years Work Eng Studies.1997; 78: 968-987
  • Also cited by Reesman, Jeanne Campbell. Fiction: 1900 to the 1930s American Literary Scholarship - 1999, pp. 289-311 Duke University Press [14] "Stephen R. Pastore in ‘‘Sinclair Lewis and Theodore Dreiser: New. Letters and a Reexamination of Their Relationship’’ (ALR 32: 69–81)."
• Also, Amazon and other reliable booksellers (Barnes and Noble, Tower Books, etc.) list at least 14 books by this author which alone makes him notable per Wiki guidelines. I'm at a loss here why this is even an issue. --Faith (talk) 21:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Searching google for "Aldous Huxley Prize" finds a review a Amazon by "Seano" which claims

Mr. Pastore is a scam artist. You'll notice the review above says it's from LosAngelesTimesBookReview.com. Try looking that site up. It's a parking page, not the LA Times Book Review. The "Aldous Huxley" Prize he supposedly won for this book is fictitious. He made it up, and a friend of his made two fake websites to make it look real. [...] His "publisher", Cohort Press, is listed at his home address. He made up his Wikipedia biography to say a book he hasn't published yet is nominated for a Pulitzer. [...]

(However, the page that google lists is not available any more, only Google's cache. Also, it seems to me that amazon reviewers are as anonymous as wikipedia editors.)

• Comment: But is the author able to edit several major booksellers listings? Again, regardless of commentary on Google (BLP anyone?), there are 14 books listed on Amazon with ISBNs which correspond to other big booksellers. Also, I showed where respectable journals have papers mentioning this author's name (as well as the CV for the Citadel professor) as author/editor. I'm quickly losing interest because I saw this on the AfD list and only replied because I saw there was a problem as he's a genuine author, but it's not my thing, so this will be my last comment on the matter. Faith (talk) 22:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• FaithF, I know you've disengaged, and I don't blame you, but for the edification of anyone else following this discussion let me reply briefly. Everything you've written about the subject's online links is correct - they are there, and normally I would be the first to agree that they point to notability. Here, however, as Pleasantville and others have noted, when you push behind the surface - such as Googling the author of a favorable review, or the source for an award, too frequently we can not verify it. The subject certainly is a real author, but there is a real question as to whether he's a notable one. My personal observation is that I think the Sinclair Lewis scholarship seems to be accurate, but the notable (in WP terms) fiction-writing career has been, to date, difficult to confirm. Xymmax (talk) 14:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I do not believe has received significant media coverage. Local yes, but no national news. Being fired for not following your boss' directive and employer policy is not notable. One event need not raise one to notability. Also, I have a sense that Wikipedia is hereby being used to promote a cause. The conflict between ALA's sensibilities and those of some communities is not new, and this episode is not particularly notable. Dlohcierekim 19:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "no national news" - false. LA Times is just as national as NY Times. "Being fired for not following your boss' directive" - notability depends on context: Civil disobedience is quite a notable topic. Laudak (talk) 20:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• keep WP:BLP1E inapplicable: while the first event was single, subsequent chain of events followed, described and referenced in the article. At worst, the content may be merged into something like Internet porn and libraries. Do we have anything on this topic? If not, this article must be written. 19:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Totally spurious remark. We could probably have a featured article on the conflict between ALA's values and local community values. As a former library board member, I'm glad this did not happen on my watch. I'd back my director either way, but it could be a really tough call. Dlohcierekim 19:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Reply: I wouldn't say it's inapplicable at all. There has been no nationwide dialog on the issue that was not already there, no laws have been passed, no local political repercussions, and Biesterfeld has dropped off the 24-newscycle's radar. If this incident had never happened, what else about Biesterfeld's life makes her notable?  Ravenswing  20:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The last question is quite unfair. People routinely become famous of a single incident. I don't say she is famous. I am claiming she is notable in views of significantly large number of people. She got an award from some society. President of other societies present her as an example of civic courage. Library committees made sessions to make decisions about porn rules, so there were local political political actions. Laudak (talk) 20:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<<second spurious remark in reply to Ravenswing. Laudak's reply was interposed afterward>> OMG, I could have been the one hounded by the press, demanding why I loved/hated the First Amendment so strongly that I would have supported/opposed her firing-- nah. I'm sure there are people on both sides of this issue that would like to see the matter receive greater attention. I do not want to see Wikipedia used as a soapbox or a battleground. And apparently, the news services are not breaking down her door. Yes, this struggle will go on. Hopefully, not here. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 20:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and your point is...? Where in the article you see any battle or soap? News are not supposed to break in one's door every day. Some events are happened and recorded. Please cite any last 10 days news about, say,... er... Margaret Ringenberg. Laudak (talk) 20:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Laudak That was a second spurious remark, directed toward Ravenswing, who had replied to my first spurious remark. Please look at my original "delete" for my rationale. Dlohcierekim 21:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to points raised by Laudak One mention in the LA Times does not notability make. Nor does getting fired. Civil disobedience is notable as a subject, one/every /any act that might be described as such need not be. The fact that a lot of people might agree with her decision does not make her encyclopedicaly notable under WP:N or WP:BIO. One need not be in the news daily to be notable-- such news coverage as was never reached the level of significant media coverage. The LA Times is not a national outlet for a story occurring in California. It's just somemthing that happened in the state. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 21:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Story was in the local section of the paper. Being covered in the local section of even a national outlet is not the same as national coverage. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 21:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep andrename. difficult case. On the one hand it is one event, on the other it's about one of the classic problems in the public library profession and civil liberties more generally. she wasn't an inadvertent bystander. There will be articles about it for years in librarianship journals, as it will be used for teaching. But the notability is the event, and not her, And the event is notable because not of her getting fired, but the conflict of ethics--she deliberately violated one of the really fundamental rules about being a librarian in terms of what she considered a higher ethical responsibility.

Edgeworks_Entertainment[edit]

Edgeworks_Entertainment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

For a number of reasons, I believe this article warrants deletion, along with a similar article that both refer to each other. Notability is the biggest factor. The company has not done much work, and doesn't meet the basic notability criteria: "if the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability. Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject." WHILE THE SERIES MAY BE NOTABLE the company itself is not, and if the paragraphs relating to the completed projects, which already refer to the SERIES PAGES were removed, what would be left would be a publicity article. As well, all the references to notability talk about the SERIES not the company. Until the company has produced more work, all information should be relegated to the SERIES PAGES rather than this company page. UnderPressure (talk) 16:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: I am also nominating the following related page because of Notability (the founder of this company has made a few student films and had some local recognition, a few minor awards, but does NOT meet the eligibility requirement for a creative professionals. As well the information is not all verifiable at this time:

Alexander_Winn (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This is obviously an issue that we disagree on, and I've always found that Wikipedians can sometimes confuse "notability" with whether they care about it or not, (and I'm including myself in that statement as well). With that in mind, it can be hard to see whose point about notability is more objectively accurate. Luckily, Wikipedia has given us concrete criteria to appeal to...

Edgeworks Entertainment - The Wikipedia:Notability (web) lists three criteria for notability for a website, and it clearly says that a website is deemed notable if it meets any ONE of those criteria. The first is that it be the subject of multiple non-trivial published works, the second that it has won recognized awards, and the third that it is distributed through an independent and respected medium. Of those, Edgeworks has the first and third in the bag, (it was on the front page of several city-wide magazines, it had an entire chapter in a published book, and it was covered on NPR for the first, and it was distributed in a shrink-wrapped DVD on the cover of a British (thus, international) magazine for four months for the third). The second it doesn't really meet, (the awards Edgeworks has won are more niche in nature). However, as a webcompany, Edgeworks meets plenty of the Web criteria to be notable.

As for the assertion that the series is notable but not the company, there are two reasons to keep it the way it is: first, a previous deletion process, (which was ENTIRELY necessary and valid), eliminated the Forsaken and Codex Series pages and merged them into Edgeworks. The Edgeworks page was, very early in its history, established as the solution to having too many pages about this company. However, this is not a good enough reason to keep it. The Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) lists only one criteria for a notable organization: that it be well-covered in independent sources. To that end, many, if not most, of the sources on these pages (Dallas Observer, Houston Press, etc) discuss the group of filmmakers as much or more than the series itself, and a few (mtvU, NPR) focus almost entirely on the production and business aspects of the company. The NPR interview, for example, was for the show "Marketplace," a business-oriented program, and it was all about Microsoft's legal arguments toward machinima companies and filmmakers. These sources cover Edgeworks and its producers specifically, in addition to the series.

As a webcompany, Edgeworks meets more than the required number of criteria for notability. As an organization, it solidly meets the criteria for notability. And as a company, separate from its series, it has been covered in numerous independent and reliable sources. It is, objectively and aside from anyone's personal feelings, notable.

Alexander Winn - Despite having been official selection or winner at 17 national and international film festivals before he turned 20, (not "a few" awards and "local" recognition), arguments over quantity and quality of film festivals is irrelevant for this article, because Wikipedia:Notability (people) only gives one criteria: that the person be covered in reliable, independent sources. And, as you pointed out, they should be independent from the series he produced to justify having his own page. However, the mtvU piece was called "Machinima Master" and was not about The Codex by any stretch of the imagination, it was about Winn. The other filmmakers at Edgeworks were barely featured at all, and the series was mentioned as Winn's project, not Winn as the series' creator. Also, the NPR piece was, as mentioned earlier, about companies and filmmakers, not the series. Winn was brought on as an expert, and he was the only machinima producer to be featured in the piece, his was not one voice among many. I think that an entire story on a national television channel about one person irrefutably counts as "deep" coverage, as does the person being considered the sole relevant expert on a highly respected national radio program, but taken together they clearly indicate notability according to Wikipedia's guidelines, especially when added to Winn's numerous awards and other accolades.

However, while both Edgeworks and Winn's articles do meet notability and should not be deleted, I agree that they are not perfect, and I would not oppose an "Expand" or "Clean Up" tag on either or both of them. I agree that the Edgeworks page is mostly a description of the series, as you said, but the company is notable, and more can be added to the article to allay your objections. The same goes for the Winn article: it can be expanded and revised, but it is notable. Therefore, assuming good faith, and believing that you are as interested as I am in doing what Wikipedia's guidelines should objectively lead us to, I suggest that we remove the tags for deletion and replace them with "Expand" and/or "Clean Up" tags.

Traditionalist world view (American)[edit]

Traditionalist world view (American) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

This article is an amalgamation of original research. I'm not convinced any of the cited sources even use the phrase "traditionalist worldview". This topic is already covered under a number of other articles. The article doesn't have a strong form, structure or direction, and reads like a couple of book reviews patched together. Instead of using multiple sources to write about a topic, it reads like an argumentative essay, where sources are complied to reach an original conclusion (that all these different souces are actually talking about one thing which is termed a "traditionalist worldview"). However, that term itself gets a very low hit count on google (including google scholar and google book), which also brings up notability concerns. Perhaps the article should be rescoped under Social conservatism in the United States? But as it stands, the original research issues and notability concerns have me leaning towards delete (but hopefully making this article more visible through the AfD process could generate more ideas). Andrew c ^[talk] 16:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per above. The thing reads like an article in a public policy magazine and there's no attempt made to show that the thesis is commonly held. Mangoe (talk) 17:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Cultural conservatism#American context. This article has good sources while that one has a better title. Colonel Warden (talk) 19:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Well-referenced and its title doesn't appear as OR to me, since American Traditionalist world view is a reasonable synonomous phrase for Cultural conservatism in an American context, which is definitely not an OR topic. Plus, the article is in remarkably good shape for being 3 weeks old. Besides, most editors would probably have hoped that a discussion on the talk page or the main editor's user page would have preceded this AfD. AfD might be too much too soon. --Firefly322 (talk) 21:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to disagree with the synonym; the link has to be proven, and since the proof must come externally, it would have to be cited. Mangoe (talk) 02:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed approach to determining a synonym seems unrealistically skeptical. For example, I've looked through Mangoe's edits and his or her own standards for making a contribution never approach the degree of "proof" proposed. --Firefly322 (talk) 03:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, with the possibility of renaming the article along the lines prescribed above. I am a relatively new editor on Wikipedia (long-time reader), and created the page in question as a term assignment for the course The Anthropology of American Culture. However, we were coached on how to make this assignment into something that would not resemble a normal school essay in any way.. It is not a book review, and it is not original research (if it were, I would have put in my own opinions about how the very use of the term "traditional" is a willful mythologizing of US social history). To save myself from writing my own polemics, the article uses specific authors to lay out general trends on the topic; there might be a sentence or two where my implicit bias comes across, but I worked hard to make it as neutral, and as particular in its American context, as I could. As for the topic, it was chosen from a list my professor gave us, and as far as I know it would be well-recognized and -respected by any academic who would come across it. The trouble with the topic is that many people in the social sciences have theorized on traditionalists, but have done so under different names (Hunter uses "orthodoxy," but does once or twice call them "traditionalists," Stein refers to both "conservatives" and "traditionalists," and Lakoff uses only "conservative worldview" since he is dealing largely in the realm of political action rather than isolated scholarly interest; there is secondary literature coming out just now about each of these authors). I think it might be appropriate to google your brains out until you find an appropriate synonym that might be more recognizable for the article title, but the term is in use, and I only wish I had enough experience with Wikipedia to know how to make that clear (one thing you can do is google "traditional worldview" in addition to "traditionalist"--I think these are fair synonyms, and the former produces several more results). Although perhaps some parts of the "Culture wars" section might be appropriate for a merge, the article is different from other articles on social conservativism for two reasons: A) it is explicitly in an American context, and B) rather than writing a laundry-list of issues traditionalists support, I have outlined theories about their worldview, which is to say the overall framework from which they make decisions about those specific issues. It is admittedly a much compacted article on a very broad topic, but for example I used the section "Key themes" to demonstrate that A) according to Hunter, there is a real divide between two groups, and he theorizes it has something to do with an anxiety of modernity on the orthodox side; B) according to Lakoff (the original person doing this kind of research), a model for a conceptual roadmap behind the seemingly illogical views of each side; and C) according to Stein, just like the progressive side of the gay rights debate, the traditionalist side uses particular rhetorical schemes that tend to conform to Lakoff's models, and additionally she argues that in addition to a fear of modernity (Hunter), conservative critics will use victimhood to reinforce their own domination. These are all fascinating theories (and there are more in the article itself) that don't exist elsewhere on Wikipedia--so let's not get caught up in the politics of nomenclature. Sorry I rambled on so much...I'd like to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks, this is actually really fun to debate like this.YouMustBeLion (talk) 20:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just an update, an anonymous user (I think?) placed a "FindSources" template on the discussion page of the article, implying I suppose that there are few results when "Traditionalist world view (American)" is put into the search engine, making it not notable. I have placed more "FindSources" templates with various spellings of the topic, many of which show a good number of results, on the discussion page of the article for general perusal. Hopefully that solves some of the notability concerns.YouMustBeLion (talk) 22:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does every Mousketeer need their own article? I'm not in the US, so don't know just how much of a cultural impact this show had — maybe this should be cleaned up and expanded instead. His IMDB entry shows him as having appeared in occasional episodes of other programmes, but (it appears) all in fairly minor roles. If kept, this one will have to be slash-and-burn rewritten from the ground up (in this case, aside from adding in the other roles, I don't propose to do this myself as I've no knowledge of the subject). — iridescent 15:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I don't think being a Mouseketeer is automatically notable. He's certainly not the only one of his peers not to have an article -- even in the original cast numerous actors don't have articles, nor those of the most recent incarnation which spawned a couple of superstars. In fact, I have my doubts about some of the names that do have bluelinks. --Dhartung | Talk 16:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Well, I suppose it's good to see Mouseketeer fancruft instead of the more usual Pokemon and Star Wars, but he's still not notable. KleenupKrew (talk) 12:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. NN company and sunglasses. Reads like a big advertisement. Appears to be WP:SPAM Endless Dan 14:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno if it should even be noted as this appears to be a snowball, but this was noted by the article creator. Violates WP:COI.--Endless Dan 16:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - advert for sunglasses company. I would recommend speedy tag for this article, actually. TN‑X-Man 14:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Undead (Kamen Rider)[edit]

Undead (Kamen Rider) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Fails WP:FICT, WP:PLOT, WP:N. Unnotable race of monsters in Kamen Rider Blade with no significant coverage in any reliable, third party sources. All sources added after AfD are from the official series website, and do not establish any notability. Nothing but plot and a big list of the 52 "monsters-of-the-day" seen in the 49 episode series. Already well covered by a single paragraph in the main article. Tagging for notability since March 2008. AnmaFinotera (talk) 14:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it's still being worked on, it's a part of the show. It does'nt need to be deleted, only updated to meet requirements. Fractyl (talk) 14:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It can't meet the guidelines, and nothing has been done to it since it was tagged. AnmaFinotera (talk) 14:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, would like you like to help in the matter? I have already posted this to WikiProject Tokusatsu. Fractyl (talk) 14:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm helping by nominating it for deletion. You never should have created it in the first place. They have no real world notability and a listing of all of them is completely unnecessary. Also, your post to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tokusatsu [20] is worded in such a way that it appears to be canvassing. AnmaFinotera (talk) 14:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
