This article about a PR firm, and the sources it uses, appear to themselves have been created as part of a PR campaign. Google News shows two results for the company's name:
- http://www.ivcpost.com/articles/12717/20130731/app-market-faces-problems-generating-profit.htm - I'm not familiar with this site; it may be an independent source, as it explicitly claims at http://www.ivcpost.com/about-us/ . The story is dated 31 July 2013.
- http://www.business2community.com/mobile-apps/app-market-problems-for-building-profit-0568588 - This is dated 30 July 2013, with Lauren Bringle on the byline. Her stories are listed at http://www.business2community.com/author/lauren-bringle where I see she also wrote a story [1] about Rivalus. I think Rivalus was promoted (just before its merger was announced) by the same PR firm behind the Airomo article.
Now for the sources already in the article: California Business Journal, Vatalyst, and CNN iReport are among the eight sites I listed at
Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Morning277#Habitual_behavior as frequently used by the PR firm I believe created this article; there is a distinct possibility that the first two sites may even be operated by the PR firm itself. The story on CaBusinessJournal.org is dated 12 July 2013. Despite the name, it appears California Business Journal may have nothing to do with bizjournals.com. Below the story is the list of "most popular" stories on the site. Shortly after many of these stories appeared, so did a corresponding Wikipedia article; I've added links:*American Writers and Artists Inc. Creates Opportunities for Freelance Writers
- Social Networking Giant Zorpia Has Firm Grip On China, India
- Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson Speaks About His Journey Alongside Amvona
- Online Gambling Website Casino.org Keeps Others In Check With Honest Reviews
- Fundology Connects Businesses And Investors Through Innovative Investment Network

- European Binary Investment Company Banc De Binary Flourishes
- Networking Site Kaleio Innovates
- Trustworthy Online Health Information dailyRX's Trademark
- Booming Entertainment Industry Supplied By Growing Agency One Source Talent
- Engage:BDR Develops Extensive Online Marketing Solutions
I believe that all the linked Wikipedia articles were created or updated by Morning277 or its subcontractors.
The Vatalyst article is also dated 12 July 2013. I notice another story, [2] which quotes the Orchid Recovery Center for Women telling us that some teenagers use drugs illegally. Now look at this story [3] on Business2Community, where the Orchid Recovery Center reminds us that cocaine may have harmful side-effects. The byline? Lauren Bringle again.
There's also a story from CNN iReport, dated 12 July 2013 with the byline NewsPost a.k.a. Ray Taylor [4]. A Taylor story is cited in the Wikipedia articles Banc De Binary (which we saw in the California Business Journal's "most popular" list). Another lends its weight to David Stewart (alternative medicine), which is also bolstered by Vatalyst, Investment Underground, and an Andrew Moran piece in Digital Journal.
Zachary Creach wrote about Airomo in TechSling; his story is dated 16 July 2013. Another of Mr. Creach's stories [5] is about TravelShark. I didn't notice whether the TravelShark article cited Creach, but it did cite one or more of the sources I listed in the Morning277 long-term abuse report.
Rounding out the list we have "Fixing the Broken App Ecosystem" by Kaz Frankiewicz. Refreshingly, the byline lets us know that Frankiewicz is with a company called Austin Marketing. The piece is dated 11 July 2013. The URL is not provided because the site has been blacklisted from Wikipedia; the site's "about" page, www.examiner.com/about , shows that content is provided by freelance writers, with little editorial oversight. Frankiewicz also posted a story about the Orchid Recovery Center called "The Benefits of Rehabilitation Programs for Women", and one called "Sports Nutrition Provider RIVALUS Acquired by Nutrivo".
I've detailed how the coverage I found for this company has only been in questionable sources, and how many of those sources cover the same subjects, with Wikipedia articles appearing shortly thereafter; please also note the time-frame: the first story appeared this 11 July, and the Wikipedia article was begun on 10 August. —rybec 21:43, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The subject of this article does not seem to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. More disturbingly, and as already mentioned, it relies on references to what is quickly appearing to be a series of websites masking promotional intentions with a semblance of legitimacy: Vatalyst, California Business Journal, etc. CNN iReport is a venue in which anyone can write an article about anything and have it appear at first glance to be a CNN article— although CNN tries to make clear that it does not vet anything that appears on its iReport pages and does not give editorial oversight to its content. The recently deleted articles on Search Engine People (discussion here) and Bulb America (discussion here, and which I foolishly opposed) used many of these same kinds of suspicious sources, as does the recently created article on IDrive Inc. which may also warrant a deletion nomination at some point. I have tried contacting Vatalyst directly to inquire about how it selects subject matter for its articles, but have gotten no response (it has been almost two weeks). Is there a clever term yet for these types of pseudo-journalistic brood parasite "cowbirds" laying their eggs in other birds' nests and having their young reared by them? I am not sure that metaphor is quite accurate, but it feels close. KDS4444Talk 14:30, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On behalf of Adrian Piper who requested deletion of this page through Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team and gave me permission to attribute this deletion request to him, I am asking the community to consider this page for deletion. Piper states that this page "falsely claims to offer biographical information" on him and that for that reason it should be deleted. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete There is no substance to the article at all. No organized claims to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I understand Ms. Piper's frustration with a badly written article and if what we had was a copyvio, then obviously we need to rewrite this. However, Adrian Piper is a major artist and is thus a public figure. It would be somewhat akin to Lady Gaga asking us to delete her article because she didn't like what was written. I don't mean to overstate this, but we're not talking about a figure of minor note. Adrian Piper is an artist that is part of art history, has volumes written about her, has been in major museum exhibitions and so on. Even if this article were deleted for copyright reasons, a new article would need to be written in its place. She is a high-profile and public figure and cannot expect to not have a Wikipedia presence nor can she expect to control the content of a Wikipedia article, other than to have an expectation of a neutral and well-sourced article per WP:BLP. If you read her bio on her website you can see that not only does she easily pass basic notability requirements for Wikipedia, she has chosen a public life and cannot simply ask to have her Wikipedia article deleted. Yes, this needs a complete rewrite but other than that, this is an obvious keep. freshacconci talk to me 02:11, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Notability of the artist is borderline (Google news archive finds a few articles mentioning her but not a lot) and in view of the copyright problems that caused the text of the article to be deleted and her concerns over the quality of its information, I think WP:TNT is appropriate. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:13, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Freshacconci is right about Adrian Piper's importance in contemporary art. Lots and lots of material can be seen at GBooks and GScholar. I'm also a little unclear about how the complaint that the page "falsely claims to offer biographical information" relates to the asserted copyright problem that the material has been copied from her official website. Nevertheless, under Wikipedia policy, it's not apparent that we have much of an alternative to starting over; I looked through the edit history in vain for a reasonable version to which we could revert. Any number of books might be used for the restart: basic bio info, for example, here:[6][7][8] --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:46, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Brushwood is on 2 different shows, a Audio Podcast and a IP-TV show. Your argument that these are microscopic networks is a joke. The This Week in Tech network is not microscopic in any sense of the word. Revision3 is a Internet Tevelision network, just as you would compare any of the other TV networks.

- Delete - I'm going to see a lot of sockpuppetry in here, but the subject is not notable, the article and its main contributor seems to have COI, which may afflict its neutrality and may compromise its maintenance. Article fails WP:BIO and also fails WP:NWEB. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 22:15, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Why do you think that we'll see sockpuppetry? Perhaps Brushwood just has a very engaged audience? Would you cry foul on engaged audience members of Bill O'Riley standing up and advocating against deletion? Please indicate which editor you feel is COI to Brushwood or strike your assertion. I've listened to the show myself and do not recognize any of the editors so far. I as an editor and listener did reach out after the page was REFUNDED and asked Brushwood to comment on the talk page so that we can try to improve the article via the approved method of subject helping correct/improve via suggestions. Hasteur (talk) 22:35, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep And go ahead eduemoni and challenge me on being a sock puppet. Subject has been on many different talk shows like Jennny Jones. Significant artist in the digital media space (This Week in Tech network doing upwards of 10 million in revenue a year with NSFW show being their #3 show and Revision3's Scam School doing many video recordings a year. Just because these aren't traditional broadcast media doesn't make them microscopic podcast networks. Would you make The Nerdist a microsocopic podcast network? Being invited to host one of the standing fun houses at the Universal Floridia "Nights of Terror" is also indicative of GNG. Hasteur (talk) 22:31, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum Comment And further, Brushwood has been invited to perform his magic act at many different college campuses as part of a student activities event. This is indicative in my mind that Brushwood easily clears the GNG threshold. Would it be good to have more and independent sources? Sure, but Deletion's not Cleanup. Now I assert that Orangemike's hostile tagging and then taking this immediately to AfD after it had recently come back via REFUND is nothing more than POINTY behavior. Surely there's an unreferenced BLP that needs more attention than this... Hasteur (talk) 22:46, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, Hasteur, I did not by any chance declared that you were a sockpuppet, but the article doesn't establish GNG, there is lack of significant coverage, if the campuses would have interviewed him and posted in the internet, which in fact they didn't, being a successful and rich person, or tallented does not establish and assert notability. [9], [10], there is only mentions, podcasts, social profiles and interview with non notable shows. The article and subject may have potential, but I think it is too early WP:NOTNOW . And Hauster you are not even the article's main contributor, the article has several intrinsic details which a person close to him or himself would have written, since the article lacks references. And I've search and found that the article has accurate details about the subject.Eduemoni↑talk↓ 00:59, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Brushwood would qualify (or not) under WP:ENTERTAINER. Probably #2, significant cult following. The fact he has appeared on major national TV shows such as The Tonight Show (twice) suggests a following strong enough to convince the producers of those shows to let him on. Plus his own shows through major channels. At the same time we need to satisfy WP:GNG because right now there is basically no sourcing. Some suggestions include SecularStudents, HuffingtonPost, GeekSphere, TVWeek, PBS, Collegian. These are individually weak sources, though appropriate for the subject, but in whole I believe they add up to support WP:ENTERTAINER #2 and they contain significant biographical coverage to write a Wikipedia article with. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 03:32, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as not notable, fails WP:ENTERTAINER, absolutely does not meet WP:GNG. GregJackP Boomer! 03:35, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article needs work, but I believe the subject meets WP:GNG. Not currently included in the article is that the subject has had a #1 comedy album on the Billboard charts, and was a co-creator of a book which reached the top 5 of the iTunes book charts. Billboard, NPR's On The Media, Gizmodo. Brendonsmall (talk) 07:15, 20 August 2013 (UTC) — Brendonsmall (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- You have raised a good point, however these are not significant, he would have passed WP:MUSICBIO if he had a single or album in any significant chart, but he is an entertainer not a musician, he doesn't apply to MUSICBIO, and he also fails WP:CREATIVE. I think the subject has wp:potential, but lacks enough sufficient and significant coverage. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 10:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Eduemoni Please strike your SPA assertion against Brendonsmall. It's entirely possible that they could have been an IP address or not even an editor for a long time and know the Rules for Deletion discussions. Furthermore, I don't see a deliberate attempt to sway consensus by invoking the "Arugments to avoid in AfD discussions" list so if anything your behavior seems deliberately antagonistic, Bite-y, and not collegial. Hasteur (talk) 13:46, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You, sire, offended me, first of all, he is an editor which has only two edits post AfD creation, I didn't bite him, secondly I'm not disrupting the discussion to make a point, you own me an apology, your words does not truly reflect my actions, and third, stick to the discussion, avoid bringing personal offenses or matters into an AfD, if you can't illustrate a point, refrain yourself from the discussion, I have made mine, the subject is non notable and I have also gave the reason why. Any source provided so far is passing, trivial and non significant. You also said that you asked Brushwood personally to come to the talk page for suggestion and improvement, which is why I stated a COI, the article has many unsourced statements which seems purely promotional, it violates NPOV, it is not as of yet unambiguously promotional, this could be improved, but his notability is the reason why his article right now shouldn't be maintained. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 11:40, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Eduemoni Obviously you're only reading into your own viewpoint into this discussion and only want to delete a page that meets GNG. WP:COISELF and WP:COIU are very clear how to invite subjects to help correct issues with their page. The goal is to improve the page, not bar people who probably have the best collection of sources from even helping. If it were in order to {{whale}} you, I'd do it right now. Since you're refusing, and I'm a editor in good standing, I'm striking your SPA assertion. Hasteur (talk) 12:52, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I restored the SPA tag. The editor in question has exactly 2 edits, both to this AfD discussion, and clearly meets the definition of a single purpose account. It is up to the closing admin to evaluate whether a) he is a SPA, and b) how much weight to give to his arguments if he is a SPA. Being labelled as a SPA does not negate his comments or position, it merely flags it as an issue for the closing admin to consider. GregJackP Boomer! 13:54, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hasteur, I didn't bite the editor, and even though COISELF and COIU guide on how to invite subject, the article fails NPOV, thus it has conflict of interest, statements such as "highly produced episodes of Scam School on Revision3", "best known for his display of bizarre magic and fire-eating performances" are both unsourced and highly promotional.

- Strong Keep This is a misleading AFD. A fish bomb is a type of bombed used by terrorists in Libya. It has nothing to do with fishing. This is part of a pattern of Transcendence to attempt to delete articles about terrorist or terrorist-like incidents, and a pattern of stalking and deleting articles created or improved by this editor (myself) Redhanker (talk) 14:06, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not a misleading AfD, it's a misleading article. A fish bomb is a type of bomb used by fishermen in blast fishing, but adopted by soldiers and then terrorists. Ansh666 15:46, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The article contains the line "Prior to the war they were commonly used by poor fisherman to kill or disable fish in order to catch them easily." Furthermore, the title is Fish Bomb. If this article isn't about fish bombs, then it shouldn't be named "Fish Bomb" as it has nothing to do with fish bombs which typically refers to bombs used in blast fishing. If you really claim this isn't about fish bombs, then this article should be a part of something like Improvised explosive device. Transcendence (talk) 18:41, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- does not "clearly fail[] WP:Academic" by any means, since Presidents (etc.) of universities (etc.) are specifically singled out as a notable position. But in this case, the institution is an unaccredited school less than 13 years old and he was president for less than a year (source: his LinkedIn profile). While the criteria for major institution has generally been broad -- most accredited institutions with any history of existence has been included -- and occasionally even interim presidents, provosts, etc., have been kept on this criterion, it is not so broad as to include Stinde's service. I can find nothing else that would justify a keep vote; thus delete. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 20:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your support. And yes, that's what I meant by "clearly fails". The criterion reads "6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society". This person has not done that. He is a clear fail on that criterion, and doesn't satisfy any of the others either. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:29, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A 1 sentence stub biography that doesn't tell us if the subject is alive/dead, without any sort of sourcing is not appropriate. Would have tagged with BLPPROD to force a sourcing (since the presumption is that a Biographical subject is living) but had to settle for PROD based on the fact that the article was created before the BLPPROD regime went into effect. Prodded on Unreferenced stub biography, but was deprodded by Necrothesp citing deprod; if he was a general then he is notable. Deprod did not address concern so now I'm calling the question as the article is so far below the minimum level for a Biography that we must delete until sources can materialize. I specifically note that a Unsourced template has been on this page since January 2008. Surely a source could have been found in over 5 years. Hasteur (talk) 17:19, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- You only used a reference listing barest minimum information about start and stop of their career and some events in it
- You didn't cite anyting, only slapped a "biography" link at the bottom
- WP:BEFORE is a guideline and not a rule.
- Only looked for a way to get it to pass via WP:SOLDIER, completely ignoring the prose above which reads
- In general, an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. In particular, individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they...
- Ergo, all you've done is throw a canister of die into the water to muddy the issue. I still stand by my assertion that there is not enough content here to validly assert that the individual is notable in addition to not having enough sources. Hasteur (talk) 19:46, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. In addition to passing WP:SOLDIER, references: [17], [18], [19], [20]. In addition, an alternative romanisation of his name is Hsu Yuan-chuan: [21], [22], [23], [24]. Clear failure of WP:BEFORE, remember that non-Western generals are something we need more articles about, not less. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:59, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- But Notability is a core rule, not really a guideline. I only happened on the article when I was strolling randomly through articles and happened on such a bad article. I know I don't have the sources or the expertise to fix it, so griping at me to fix it is not productive, however stimulating you to fix it is productive as annother article has been saved.

Both his books have been widely reviewed and satisfy this criteria and meet WP:NBOOK; see my post here for references for his other book. In addition to this, he's also won some awards for his work, and has received coverage because of his tweets. Christopher Connor (talk) 17:04, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just three days ago he was whoever. Now all of a sudden he's a recognized author? I don't think so. His books are not widely known and he's definitely not Mark Twain. Right now Wikipedia has become the primary source of information about him - we have the most detailed article on the subject. If you want to keep him mentioned, we may move it to Assange's article.

- Keep, clearly. Even if the Twitter controversy were in fact his path to notability, that still makes him notable. Notability isn't a "but for" test of causation, but in fact a question of whether people take note. Similarly, Brandi Chastain's notability stems 95% from ripping her shirt off. A large number of people have indeed taken note, and that interest goes beyond simply describing the incident to describing their life and career. Anyway, even if that's 95% of their notability, I would argue that on a basic notability test the other 5% makes him notable independently. A senior national correspondent for one of the most prominent news outlets in the U.S., both his position and his body of work are substantial. - Wikidemon (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi! You seem to be new to Wikipedia and also seem to have first hand knowledge of Mr. Arun Bhatnagar. Please note that holding various posts as being part of IAS Officer is not really a notable thing. He had to be on some post and so he was. Many government officers get transferred after a certain period and we can't have articles on all of them because at the time of retirement they have been to 20-30 positions. In case, you have any information about Mr. Bhatnagar winning any awards or recognitions, maybe some newspaper wrote an article about him on his ways of work or bringing something innovative or something similar then that could be helpful. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:53, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Dharmadhyaksha, Yes I am new to Wiki and also know the subject personally. Thanks for your comments.

- This stable has produced 1 yokozuna and 3 sekiwake. It is one of the most successful Sumo Stables ever, for it's relative short history. Musashimaru is the first foreign born Yokozuna to be a sumo stable master.

- The reason for this page being up for deletion has more to do with the ignorance of RHaworth than anything else. If articles about particular sports are to be deleted, they should be deleted by people who know something about the sport, not by RHaworth and others who have little or no interest in the sport.
- Finally, RHaworth and people like him need to be reprimanded. If not, then a new policy about deletion should be drawn up. Eg: If part of a topic, which gets about 1,000 hits per day, is to be deleted, it should only be deleted by people who have knowledge of that topic. If sumo was getting about 1 hit per month, fine delete it and other topics that are in reference to it. But Sumo is getting about half a million hits a year. Therefore the only people who should police it, should be people who know something about it, like User:Pawnkingthree

- The suggestion is for the deletion policy. Not for making new articles. In my mind FourTildes original (2013) page should never have been deleted last month. Yet there was no one to come to his defense. Having 'experts' (in inverted commas) would be a way for double checking if an article should be deleted or not. --Leveni (talk) 15:14, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep- Putting aside the personal squabble here, it is clear the stable passes WP:ORG, even if it is separated from the previous Musashigawa stable (which it seems, judging from the stable's own home page, the stable itself does not do: [28]). Given that it is the revival of a renowned old stable and is headed by a famous former yokozuna, there has been sufficient coverage in the major press in Japan, such as: [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34] or [35]. More could be found. Further, while this should probably be checked with WikiProject Sumo, one could presume, given the extreme difficulty involved in founding a professional sumo stable, that it is possible to argue all such stables are inherently notable. While I think this stable has enough independent reliable coverage to pass WP:GNG criteria, perhaps creating such a precedent is in order. Michitaro (talk) 17:22, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- there are lot's of Sumo Beya that are not note worthy. Many can be found [here]--Leveni (talk) 14:21, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I said professional sumo. Your link is for amateur sumo yokozuna. In Japan, the only professional sumo stables are those approved by the Nihon Sumo Kyokai, which only allows them in extremely limited cases (toshiyorikabu, etc.). Many other sports WikiProjects presume or directly state that professional teams (e.g., WikiProject_Cycling) or teams that play in national cups (WikiProject_Football) are by definition notable. I was wondering whether WikiProject Sumo has a similar guideline. Of course, other non-professional teams/heya could be considered notable on a case by case basis using WP:ORG. Thus the Nichidai sumo club (jp:日本大学相撲部), for instance, which has produced the vast majority of amateur yokozona (and later professionals) from the college ranks, most likely is notable enough to have its own article. Michitaro (talk) 17:46, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- My example was to give contrast between notable stables and non-notable stables. I wasn't contradicting you, I was just giving an example of something not note worthy. I could create a list of all non 大相撲 beya, including all the women sumo, amateur, semi-professional, university, high-school and junior-high school. But would such a list be of interest and would it be note worthy?
- OK, but as I said, even some of the sumobu mentioned in your list of amateur, jitsugyodan and daigaku yokozuna could be notable per WP:ORG. Also, it is not impossible to argue that creating a list of certain amateur groups (for instance, daigaku or jitsugyodan sumobu) can also be meaningful in some cases and be justified under WP:LISTN. In that case, each entry in the list need not be independently notable itself. But this is a discussion WikiProject Sumo should probably undertake. For the time being, to reiterate, Musashigawa I think passes notability criteria both because it itself fits WP:ORG and because all professional sumo stables are likely inherently notable. Whether there are non-notable sumo organizations is not an immediately relevant issue. (By the way, please sign your comments. This AfD is getting hard to read.)Michitaro (talk) 15:13, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep
- 1 It is a branch of one of the most successful sumo stables in history, was begun by one of the most well-known still living yokozuna in history, who is only the second foreigner to become yokozuna, and only the second foreign born retired wrestler to start his own stable.
- 2 This is all because he wanted to continue the tradition of of the Musashigawa name when the new head changed the name of the stable.
- 3 It is also the only new stable established in the sumo world in 6 years, quite a rarity.
- 4 This stable also has a corresponding article in Japanese, as of course, it's notability in Japan is unquestioned, and the simple fact that this article is in English should not be to it's detriment, as even if it did have top division wrestlers it would still be just as unknown to the average English speaking Westerner, which would disqualify essentially every stable listed on the list of sumo beya from notability.
The western equivalent of this would be "new" professional sports team made up of largely rookie players that had no article. It was also the only stable in the list of sumo beya that did not have an article, but this was only because of someone not yet getting around to it until now. The unfortunate fact that it as yet has no top division wrestlers is only due to it's newness and it has many other reasons for notability.
For the sake of fairness, I should also state that a month or two back, I did start this article, which was summarily deleted by RHaworth when he came upon the speedy deletion tag, hence his continuing interest in this dispute. Our exchange about this can be seen here: User_talk:RHaworth/2013_Jul_22#Speedy_deletion_of_Musashigawa_stable. Note: You need to click "show" to read my entire defence as RHaworth must have found me too wordy. The article I originally started, and which RHaworth quickly deleted, leaving me no access to the text I wrote, is here: User:FourTildes/sandbox_6 (RHaworth did comply with my request and gave me access to the article's text after I requested it.) FourTildes (talk) 22:58, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Also for the sake of fairness, It would be better if FourTildes was credited with being the creator of the page, as it was he who first created it, and that credit was then unfairly taken away from him.--Leveni (talk) 14:21, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know where else to write this, but as the article still exists, and has yet to be speedily deleted (as it was within minutes the first time around with RHaworth) I am going to paste in the material I originally wrote from the sandbox link above (which is more detailed and referenced than Leveni's article info), leave the speedy deletion tag of course, and then move to article to the more appropriate title of Musashigawa stable (2013) - which will improve on it's notability I believe.

- Keep It's extremely rare for a foreign born sumo wrestler to establish his own stable; Musashimaru is only the second in history to have done so after Takamiyama Daigoro. Multiple sources exist as per Michitaro. Incidentally there is consensus at WikiProject Sumo that sumo stables are notable, and every active stable has an article.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 23:45, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a mention of the treatise on geodesy (note that the edition cited in the article explicitly calls the author Héron de Byzance) to Hero of Byzantium, as suggested by nom, andOops, I see that that treatise is already mentioned in the article. Redirect to Hero of Byzantium.

Deor (talk) 19:15, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Merge -- The article appears to be a duplicate. The merge should be limited to transferring the "literature" section to the target.

- Actually, the recent edition (PDF avalable here) and the French study cited in the "Édition" and "Bibliographie" sections of the French WP article look to be preferable to the 19th-century stuff the "Literature" section of our article picks up from Britannica 1911.

Intent of creation of this article is unambiguous self-promoting PR puff spam with contents predominantly supported by referencing to wikia.com to create an illusion of notability.

Many sources are paywalled, so it's difficult to ascertain the depth-of-coverage in those, but the overall topic appears to meet Wikipedia's threshold of notability: [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47]. Northamerica1000(talk) 15:27, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- comment Objection to this article is that it does not appear to be created to advance the encyclopedia, but as a self-serving public relations product to increase publicity by "web manager of Solar Cookers International". Snippets of fairly trivial coverage do not appear to make this company generally notable. Other content fork articles, such as now removed Solar for All was filled completely and referencing back to self-generated contents to exhibit it in the way the subject wants it exhibited. This article is almost entirely composed of promotionalism and I see it as beyond salve. I find that its best deleted and started from scratch so it starts from a objective, neutral ground rather than modified to try to add sources around promotional contents and maintain the overall bias Cantaloupe2 (talk) 01:29, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Many sources being paywalled does not mean that they are automatically "snippets" of information. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:37, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. Probably satisfies WP:GNG but needs to be rewritten to remove promotional tone and corporate spam. Maybe it would be better to start from scratch but I believe that it is also possible to improve the existing article. Beagel (talk) 18:02, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Possibly so. Currently the contents are selectively chosen and use company's materials that only cast them in a positive light. If editors were to go around and start adding references to existing contents, it would solve the verifiablility aspect, but systemic undue bias would remain. I think this is why it would be more conducive to start from scratch as I feel that it would encourage well rounded article if someone chose to recreate it and discourage spammers from creating PR spam that spurts off and leaving all the grunt work of sourcing around their PR huff puff.Cantaloupe2 (talk) 01:49, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose. - Nominator (who is Russian and clearly has no knowledge of the subject) failed to follow the WP:BEFORE rules and blindly nominated several related articles with zero talk page discussion.

If the nominator had brought the subject up on the talk page, work could have been done on the article to improve sourcing. Upon reading this AFD I myself found a half-dozen reliable sources that cover the subject at hand to help and would have helped clarify that this subject does pass WP:GNG to the nominator, and I'm sure more would have been found should a more thorough search been undertaken. The only thing that matters is passing WP:GNG and this article does that, even though the sources aren't adequately edited at the moment. Macktheknifeau (talk) 10:35, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. There seem to be some articles which discuss the "syndrome" ([51][52][53][54]), but I'm not convinced that a standalone list is warranted. The term is described within Chuck's entry at Happy Days#Minor so I'd consider a redirect at most. Gong show 20:51, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per sources above. Notable, even if not by much. Redirecting to the character is not a good idea -the TV show phenomenon is named after him, but it is distinct from the character, who is just the first noted occurrence of it. -- cyclopiaspeak! 12:07, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BTW the earliest use of Chuck cunningham syndrome I could find is from an April 2004 Toronto Star (Tanya Workman, "Canada vs. the world Sister, sister", Toronto Star, 04/24/2004 - Quote: "Last week in TV Talkback, Eirik Knutzen wrote about the "Chuck Cunningham" syndrome - where a TV sibling disappears to their bedroom").

- I retract the above, based on the previous AfD it appears this term arose in the 1990s, predating TV Tropes.

- Comment. This was one of the best known and most often referenced of the classic SNL skits. A few sources are already provided. As noted on the talk page, a very long list of "popular culture" references has been removed from the article, and under current editing practices those removals were almost entirely correct. But there are a few items on that list that might actually deserve inclusion (for example, the connections between the skit and (1) Jimmy Buffett's Land Shark Lager and (2) the Columbus Landsharks, which connections appear to be mentioned in a few (paywalled) news articles). So I think deletion is not appropriate here. A merge and redirect to Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 1975–1976 is OK, allowing the incorporation of a limited amount of additional detail, and preserving the history for anyone who should ever feel inclined to find more rigorous sourcing.--Arxiloxos (talk) 19:41, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comments and discussion about the article. The article that you are mentioning is a comprehensive review of 15 pieces of art from ancient times regarding epilepsy surgery and also a review of historical aspects of the topic. The article in Wikipedia does not review this material, obviously we can not copy an article (I can provide to Wikipedia de pdf of the article and you can read the review, is very large and comprehensive). There are other pieces of art that I mention in my review of Wikipedia and are not mentioned in the review from epilepsy and behavior). The article that I wrote is based in the remarkable fact that all the previous art works related with epilepsy surgery were bloody and painful for patients. For the first time Eduardo Urbano makes a friendly painting that can help patients to understand patients the process of healing after epilepsy surgery. The artist has a lot of achievements and I am happy to change the name of the article if the encyclopedia considers the option to put the title of the artist. I really want to spread the message of the painting from Eduardo Urbano to patients with epilepsy and people that can not afford to pay the 35 dollars to see the whole article about epilepsy surgery and art. I think the art for patients have to be universal and the copyrights of the painting belong to Eduardo Urbano and he kindly has shared the picture with me and other epilepsy institutions in Canada. I will continue adding material to the article to be better but I have heard from difrente people that the article gives a very positive message. Thanks and I hope that you can consider my thoughts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.189.94.127 (talk) 18:47, 19 August 2013 (UTC) The other option that I can modify is put the title as "Eduardo Urbano merino", then the sections could be "Contemporary art work in epilepsy", then "Information about Eduardo", then "Painting, Epilepsy, leaving behind the nightmare" and finally "Importance of the painting" Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jftellez (talk • contribs) 21:57, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete by virtue of WP:Blow it up and start over. There may be an article with this topic to be be had at Wikipedia, but this is not it. The lead paragraph discusses the concept of medical procedures in general as a subject for various pieces of art, but not epilepsy surgery in any example. The section on Merino discusses a single piece of art that he has created, but that piece depicts the ravages of arthritis, not epilepsy surgery. Finally, there is a section that describes one piece titled "Epilepsy, leaving the nightmare behind", with a detailed description of the painting, but neglecting to note who created the work. An online search finds that the painting was also created by Merino, an artist of no particular notability. The article itself points out that "Epilepsy surgery has been depicted in few artistic works", suggesting that this topic probably is not notable enough for an entire Wikipedia article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:09, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Part of the problem, I'd say, is that the article creator keeps reverting my efforts to wikify it. There really does seem to be lack of WP:COMPETENCE getting in the way of his well intentioned efforts to improve and retain the article. I have to admit, the whole thing is rather amusing to me since the artcreator appears to literally be a brain surgeon. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comments, the true is that there are only two contemporary works in epilepsy surgery, the one from Eduardo Urbano and the one from Juan Bravo. The previous available paintings are from the renaissance, so it is unique. In the background I just try to give an introduction to the reader about art and medicine, then some examples of art in epilepsy (there are some available, not many) and then going to the main topic that is epilepsy surgery. If you suggest me a sequence a can change the article, but goes with some background and then the description. I can do an effort to join the paragraphs to create a sequence Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jftellez (talk • contribs) 23:56, 20 August 2013 (UTC) Thank you for the comments in the discussion from the editors but I feel that the article has a sequence and it is well documented. Maybe if the title changes and it is called Eduardo Urbano Merino and his art vision in epilepsy or something like that can be more logical. I really respect the comments and I am just trying to improve the article to have a better reading going from something general to the specific point which is the painting, the perspective of the author and the potential benefit for patients. I add a sentence to linked the first paragraph with the rest of the article, specifying that the article is focused on the paintings by this artist. I am not a surgeon I am neurologist with special interest in epilepsy Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jftellez (talk • contribs) 01:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I'm sorry, the article is a lost cause imo. We're a couple of reliable sources shy of a notable artist, by our standards here and what we have here are two WP:SPA and WP:COI editors (including User:Lady Ladino) who aren't sufficiently fluent in English to help matters any. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 10:46, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence this movie gained widespread distribution or won awards. Does not appear to satisfy WP:N, and certainly fails Wikipedia:Notability (films).

- Delete but perhaps redirect somewhere. While the film exists and Jim Conlon is a Missouri documentary filmmaker who does have just one IMDB credit acting in another St.Joseph area documentary film.[58], his educational documentary film[59] was aired on television, but it seems destined to be screened only libraries.[60] Coverage of this film seems more limited to it having inspired "local" reenactments.[61][62] Certainly there must be some other place within Wikipedia, perhaps in an article on that area's history, where this might be mentioned? Schmidt, Michael Q. 05:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm the AFD nominator. It's not that I don't like the film. It seems to be a relatively low budget documentary, and in a clip of a train wreck on Youtube it shows as well as many historical reenactment films one might see on the History Channel. A nice effort, by a talented director, who knows how to do more with less, and a film which would be quite watchable, but we don't keep articles just because we like the subject. Edison (talk) 14:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Response: I would not wish you or anyone presume that a "like" or "not like" had anything to do with my delete... And would wish only that my suggestion toward possible mention elsewhere of a verifiable history re-enactment film that lacks enough notability for a separate article is in consideration of serving the project and its readers... nothing else.

- I don't think that WP:INDISCRIMINATE is relevant. This article is a bibliography of Indian military law. It is not a random list of random items. NOTDIRECTORY is a more likely candidate. The real question is whether publications on Indian military law satisfy WP:NOTESAL. Are they notable as a group? Are there, for example, professionally prepared bibliographies etc. covering that subject? I imagine that they are notable. Even if they are not, we do have a Bibliography of law, and this list could be merged into that or treated as a daughter article, provided sources can be found to justify the selection. James500 (talk) 11:24, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Two selective bibliographies on this subject (though they may be different editions of the same book):[63][64]. James500 (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2013 (UTC) There are also bibliographies on Indian law generally and international bibliographies which presumably cover India. It may be that these works are organised in a way that identifies works relating to the military law of that country. James500 (talk) 18:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC) Also, this Wikipedia article professes to be "based chiefly on an article by Major General Nilendra Kumar, former Judge Advocate General, Indian Army".

- In this case it wasn't, for better or worse, and starting the discussion again at this point would be unnecessary bureaucracy. Additionally, while some merges are appropriate for talk pages, I feel this particular one is an AfD issue because it's a question of notability rather than form. A discussion about whether an independent article should exist due to notability concerns should take place at AfD, whether or not there's an existing article it can be redirected to in the end. Finally, the topic is not independently notable -- as mentioned below, the technology being described is electronic cigarette technology in a slightly different cosmetic form, and if you do the slightest bit of cursory research on the technology you'll find that out easily. "Electronic hookah" is not an article that can be developed adequately. Equazcion (talk) 02:57, 26 Aug 2013 (UTC)

- There's nothing in it worth merging anyway. So-called "electronic hookahs" are just rebadged e-cigs.

- As I noted in a couple of comparable recent AFDs (George Takach and Martin Singh), while many years ago there was a consensus that being a candidate in a political party's leadership race was a valid claim of notability in and of itself, since then our WP:BLP rules have been tightened up a lot — so under current WP:BLP1E rules, a person cannot be considered a valid topic for a standalone article if that's the only substantial notability claim that can be made, and a brief biographical sketch in the article on the race itself is all that can be justified. Redirect per nom. Bearcat (talk) 21:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete In general candidates who lose are nota notable. The catch is in too many cases we have only recent even winners of these positions with articles. If we kept articles like this we would make Wikipedia even more presentist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:14, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- List of the tallest buildings in Champaign, Illinois (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Unnecessary page for a non-major city to have a list of tallest buildings for. Also, all entries in the table are either red links and/or redirects. Tinton5 (talk) 00:08, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete WP is not a directory of buildings, especially when none are notable, special, or even very tall. (24 stories max.) Kitfoxxe (talk) 02:41, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Wikipedia is not the place for a list of buildings in a city with a population of >150,000 where the tallest buildings aren't that tall. Especially when none of the buildings have their own page. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 15:17, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep If WP does not have directories of buildings how do you explain Template:US tallest buildings lists? I also contest deletion due to ambiguous definition of "major US city". How do you characterize a city such as Peoria, IL or the Quad Cities being major US cities/areas as opposed to Champaign or the Champaign–Urbana metropolitan area. Both Peoria and the Quad Cities have lists of their tallest buildings. Also Peoria's tallest building is only 29 floor and the Quad Cities tallest building is only 17 floors. Cubbie15fan 16:52, 19 August 2013, (UTC)
- Another case of WP:Otherstuffexists. Those pages do in fact have links to buildings, which are notable. Tinton5 (talk) 17:34, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Standards for what cities are eligible to have tallest buildings never clearly established. Citations need to be cleaned up. List does have 10 entries that qualify as high rise buildings (at least 115ft tall, or 12 floors). I dont think it should belong, but in light of no standards being established, I cant see it being deleted. I would be willing to discuss any standards for inclusion of "Tallest Buildings lists" with anyone who wants to do so. Zonafan39 (talk) 14:13, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have opened a Request for Comment for Tallest Buildings lists at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skyscrapers/Tallest building lists. Zonafan39 (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional Comment In this AfD, there was discussion about establishing guidelines for notability for tallest buildings lists, but there was no definite consensus or implementation of those guidelines. In this AfD, the list was merged instead of deleted. Just some food for thought based on past discussions. Zonafan39 (talk) 12:58, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Additional Thought I find this point very intersting. Based upon these past discussions, the true lack of established standards, and no valid, concrete reasons for deletion, why remove information that a Wikipedia user may find interesting? I do not see benefit in removing this information. Please review prior discussion that Zonafan39 has cited above. Note that Champaign has taller buildings and more buildings that some additional cities not mentioned above that some users may classify as a more "major city". Cubbie15fan 15:18, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional Thought 2 For a concrete definition of a high-rise building it is worth pointing out that "The National Fire Protection Association defines “high-rise building” as a building greater than 75 feet (25 m) in height where the building height is measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the floor of the highest occupiable story" [1]. All 10 buildings list on this page exceed this minimum standard by at least 52 ft, with the tallest building exceeding this standard by 193 ft. Cubbie15fan 15:33, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This city is too small to have such a list and the buildings on it aren't notable enough. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - It seems like we have previous consensus at AfD that such "lists of tallest dwarves" are not encyclopedic on the basis of WP:NOTLIST, but this material would fit in fine under the city header. Not too big to merge in full, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 22:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
